Abstract: 9393. Downs, S. April 18 Combined with butterworkers; driving-mechanism. -A butter-worker is mounted at the back of a churn, and the two are driven by gearing so constructed that the churn can be driven at a high speed or at a low speed along with the butter - worker, or the butter-worker can be driven separately. There are two driving-pulleys B, C, Fig. 1, the pulley B being keyed to a shaft F<8> and the pulley C to a sleeve L running loosely on the shaft F<8>. The sleeve L carries a pinion gearing with a pinion F on the shaft D of the churn, so that, when the driving-belt is on the pulley C, the churn is driven at high speed. To the shaft F<8> is keyed a pinion K, which drives a pinion M on a shaft F<9> by pinions G, H running loosely on the shaft D. To the shaft F<9> is attached by a free - wheel arrangement a pinion F' gearing with the pinion F, so that, when the driving- belt is on the pulley C, the churn is driven at low speed. The shaft F<8> also carries a sprocket N, which by means of a chain drives a shaft P connected to the butter-worker BW. When it is desired to drive the butter-worker without the churn, the pinion F' is prevented from rotating by the following mechanism. On the driving-member C<2>, Fig. 5, of the free-wheel mechanism run.loosely a pinion F' and a brakedrum C<1>. To the brake-drum C' are attached fingers C<6> extending into spaces F<6> in the rim of the member C<2> and having between them rollers F<4>. The drum C' and the member C<2> are connected by a spring so that normally the rollers F' are drawn into the narrow part of the spaces F<6> so that they jam and the member C<2> drives the pinion F<1>. When it is desired to stop the pinion F<1>, Fig. 4, the brake F<2> is tightened on the drum C<2> by the nut W<1> so that the rollers F<4> slip back into the wide parts of the spaces F<6> and the pinion is released.

Granted: 1912-06-10
Abstract: 13,848. Brown, E. Hall-. June 10. Feed-water, heating. -A surface condenser is provided with means for separating oil and water from the entering steam in combination with means for bringing all or part of the steam into contact with all or part of the water of condensation in order to heat the water and to aid in the condensation of the steam. In one form of apparatus, Fig. 2, the steam enters the condenser a by an inlet b formed in a duct e extending from the top to the bottom of the condenser. The steam impinges on the wall of the duct e, and the oil and water thus separated fall into the well f. A further separation of water is effected by a tray k at the top of the condenser; the water thus collected falls through an aperture n and reaches the well f without being cooled by passage over the condenser tubes. A portion of the steam enters the condenser by the lower branch of the duct e, and is thus brought into contact with the water of condensation. A weir p having a hood q prevents oil from flowing away with the water. In another form of apparatus, Fig. 3, the steam enters by an inlet b, and, after the separation of the water in the duct t, passes through a port r and passage s to a chamber w in which it comes into contact with a spray of water of condensation derived from the weir p; the steam finally enters the condenser a by a passage y. The chamber w has perforated walls and is fitted with a spraying-device consisting of a convergent nozzle v having longitudinal slits z, together, it may be, with a splash-plate d.

Abstract: 26,129. Rheinische Metallwaaren-und Maschinenfabrik. Nov. 22, 1910, [Convention date]. Void. [Published under Section 91 of the Act.] Sights.-Consists in a sighting-device which is adapted to correct for the drift of the projectile due to (1) the inclination of the trunnion axis and (2) the rifling, for all elevations and ranges. The device is shown in rear elevation in Fig. 1, and in side elevation in Fig. 2. The curved sight bar a is adapted to slide in the sleeve b to adjust for range and carries a head e having a circular guide in a plane perpendicular to the line of sight, in which slides the carrier f, provided with a panoramic telescope h. By turning the milled nut g, the carrier f may be rotated by an amount sufficient to correct for the drift due to rifling, which -depends on the powder charge used. The correction for the inclination of the trunnion axis is made by rotating the sleeve b about an axis parallel to the axis of the gun-barrel until the spirit-level o on the sight-carrier is horizontal. To permit this rotation, a hook-shaped extension on the sleeve b embraces a circular guide q on the arm p fixed to the barrel or cradle, and is guided on a concentric guide r. The sleeve b is moved along this guide by worm-gearing actuated by the milled head t. When the two necessary adjustments have been made, the bar a is in a tilted position, so that as it is elevated the correction for drift is automatically adjusted. A second sighting-device i, independent of the telescope h, is provided, and is adapted to slide in an horizontal plane on a circular guide, the centre of which lies in the surface of the shield s.

Reversing - gearing, suitable for marine propulsion, comprises planetary gears d, which are carried in apertures in a member e, which is integral with a central bearing e<3> on a driven shaft b, and extends outwards in the form of a web to a peripheral engaging-surface. The shaft b, which is in line with a driving-shaft a, is moved longitudinally to effect reversal by a hand-lever k. The gears d mesh with a gear c' fast upon the shaft b, and with a gear c loose thereon and connected by a sliding coupling c<2> with the shaft a. When the shaft b is thrust to the left, a clutch member b<1> on it comes into engagement with a member a' on the shaft a. The gearing then turns solid. When the shaft b is slid to the right, the periphery of the member e comes into engagement with a brake member f secured to a fixed casing x. The shaft a then drives the gear c and the gear c<1> and shaft b are driven reversely. Radial adjustment of the member f may be effected by having holes through which bolts g are passed made relatively large. Axial adjustment is effected by the use of packing- pieces on the bolts g. The member f may be supported alternatively by set-screws extending radially through axial or helical slots in the casing x.
