Filed: 1910-06-23
Granted: 1911-06-26
Abstract: 753. Herrick, G. P. June 23, 1910. Valves, distributing and cut-off; balancing moving parts.-Rotary cut-off valves are provided with fluid-pressure balancing-devices of the kind described in Specification 15,311/09. A rotary valve 46, provided with ports 47, controls the admission of motive fluid from a pipe 42 to the inlet port 34 of the working-chamber of a rotary engine, the fluid passing through passages 41<a>, 42<a> into the interior of the valve. As the valve rotates, a part of it is exposed to the pressure of the working-chamber, and this pressure is counterbalanced by allowing the same pressure to act upon an opposite part of the valve by means of conduits 54, 55. In a modified form of valve, Fig. 5, conduits 88, 89 lead the pressure-balancing fluid on to the reduced extensions 86 of the valve at points opposite the valve outlet 83. Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specifications 14,146/00 and 15,311/09.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Controllers for Electric Motors.
IPC: B60L15/20
Filed: 1911-04-01
Granted: 1912-02-29
Abstract: 8238. British Thomson - Houston Co., and Wise, W. L. April 1. Controllers, controllers, actuating and locking mechanism and interlocking devices for. -Relates to motor controllers of the kind described in Specification 29,785/09 for operating and reversing two or more motors or groups of motors, and consists in providing mechanism for locking any of the drums to cut out a motor or group. As shown in Fig. 1, each of the reversing cylinders 1, 1, which are distinct from the main contact cylinders, has secured thereto a plate A carrying a catch ring B capable of being moved across the diameter of the plate. The rings have keys E normally engaging a slot in a collar C rigidly fixed to the shaft D, so that the drums normally rotate with the shaft. The rings are surrounded by straps F, F<1>, controlled by crank-pins G, G<1> on an operating- shaft Q. If the operating-shaft Q is rotated from the ' off ' position in either direction, it will pull one of the straps, and with it the ring B surrounded by it, causing the key E to disengage the collar C to free the drum on the shaft Q; at the same time, a key H on the same strap engages a slot on the plate A to prevent the cylinder from revolving. The other drum may be revolved to cut out the motor. As the slots in the plates A only come opposite the catches H in the ' off ' position, the mechanism can only be operated to cut out a motor or replace it when the operating-shaft is in the ' off ' position. In order to limit the motion of the cylinder to the series-running positions, a stop is provided on the main controller, comprising a member M, Fig. 4, pivoted to a link attached to the controller frame and also to a stop-lever K, which is normally held by a spring out of engagement with a projection N on the main cylinder shaft O. The member M is operated by a cam P on the shaft Q, so that, on operating the shaft Q to cut out a motor, the stop-lever K engages the main shaft. According to the modification shown in Fig. 5, the cylinders have plates R secured thereto carrying catches B adapted to move across the plate and to engage a collar C on the shaft U. Levers Ware adapted to operate the catch by pressing against rollers V thereon, so as to free the catch from the shaft and also to lock the plate by means of projections Y on the levers entering slots Z on the plate. When the arm W is withdrawn, the catch is forced back in the keyway by springs 2 and by a projection 3 on the lever engaging a projection 4 on the catch.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Rate of Change of Range Apparatus for Gunnery Purposes.
Inventor: DAWSON ARTHUR TREVOR
IPC: G01C3/04

Granted: 1912-05-30
Abstract: 13,733. Dawson, Sir A. T., and Watt, G. E. June 8. Range-keepers.-The change of range of an observed ship is indicated on scales f<1>, f<2>, Fig. 2, by an indicator F which is set by means of gearing from pointers D, E of which the pointer D is kept directed on the observed ship while the other is kept parallel to the direction of such ship. Epicyclic gearing is used in such a way that only differertial angular movement of the two pointers produces a movement of the indicator F after the pointer D is set, but in a modification in which the pointer E is replaced by a disk, such gearing is dispensed with, the disk being set at an angle to the pointer D equivalent to the angle between the directions of the two ships, and in a further modification in which both pointers are replaced by disks, epicyclic gearing is also dispensed with, the disk E being now set at an angle in relation to the station ship equivalent to the angle between the direction and course of the observed ship. The pointer D, Figs. 2 and 3, is mounted on a hollow spindle d carrying a spur-wheel d<2> engaging a further wheel d<2Î> to which is attached a crank member d<3> in which is mounted a pin d<1>, the position of which can be adjusted by rotation of a head D<2Î> on a spindle carrying a pinion D<2> in gear with a rack D<3> carrying the pin d<1>. In operation, the pointer D is kept on the observed ship and the pin d<1> adjusted for the speed of the station ship when the crankmember D<1> is operated by such pin d<1> to engage the wheel F<1> by means of rack-teeth and move the pointer F along the slot C<1>. There is for the pointer E similarly a crank-member E' and a pin e<1> adjustable in the same way for the speed of the observed ship, but the pointercarrying spindle e carries a wheel e<2> engaging a wheel e<2Î> loose on the boss e<3ÎÎ> carrying the crank-arm e<3>, this wheel e<2Î> being rigid with a wheel e<3Î> engaging planet-wheels ex mounted in a casing E<Î> attached to the boss e<3ÎÎ>, said wheels e<Î> also engagirg a wheel d<Î> taking into an idle wheel d<ÎÎ> engaged by the wheel d<2>. In this way, differential angular movement of the two pointers D, E causes the wheels d<Î>, e<2Î> to revolve at different speeds, so that the casing Ex, arm e<3>, frame E<1> and so the pointer F, have positive movements transmitted to them.

The shaft e is provided with an adjustable load f<1>, and has a crank e' to which a finger f is screwed. If the weft is intact, it is, on the beat-up, trapped between the fork h and an open-tapped grid on the lay, so that the fork h and also the shaft &c. e are rocked and the finger f is moved upwards, as shown in Fig. 4. If the weft fails, however, the finger f is held in an horizontal position by the load f<1>. It thus passes through a gap o in the shuttle box and comes into contact with the shuttle a<1>, a projection p on the crank e<1> contacting with the lever a, so that on the beat-up the lever a is turned and the loom is stopped.

Fire-engines.-Consists of a motor fire-engine in which the pump is driven from the motor, and some of the water is led to a chemicalizing- chamber, from which it is pumped back into the stream of water discharged from the main pump. The vehicle is driven through the usual change-speed transmission gear, and the main pump C, which is of the rotary type, is driven from the first-motion shaft s<1> through a slidable pinion 6 and a spur-wheel 15. The pump C comprises two intermeshing members on parallel shafts, which are geared together by means of pairs of spur-wheels 36, 36'. A supply of water is led from the discharge outlet 24 of the pump C, through a pipe 39 to a chemicalizing-chamber 38, to which dry chemical is fed by a worm from a hopper. The solution is drawn through a pipe 43 by a triplex pump P, and is thence returned through a pipe to the outlet 24 of the main pump. The pump P is driven from one of the shafts of the pump C through gearing 20, 21, and the chemical-supplying worm is driven from the other shaft of the pump C through gearing comprising a spurwheel 34. The supplies of water and of chemical to the chamber 38 are regulated by means of a valve and a slide respectively. Means for cutting-out the mechanism for supplying the chemical solution may be provided.

Bore-hole apparatus.- A rotary bit or cutterhead is formed in sections capable of relative longitudinal movement to enable the bit to be inserted in, or withdrawn from, a casing of smaller diameter. The sections A, B have diagonal bearing-faces with a tongue- and-groove connexion R, N, and a slot M is formed in the tongue to receive a cross-pin F. In the working position, bevels J on the sections correspond with the bevelled lower end of the casing. In removing the bit, the casing is raised, and the cables K, V are then slackened to allow the bit to descend until lugs G, E, on the sections, rest on projections within the casing. The section A is then raised until the pin F engages with the bottom of the slot M, and both sections are withdrawn tandem-wise. When inserting the sections triangular-shaped guides on the casing direct the cutting-ends into position. Grooves or channels H are provided for the wash-water.
