Title: Improvements in Condensers
Filed: 1908-01-02
Granted: 1908-12-03
Abstract: 126. Worthington Pump Co., and Mueller, O. H. Jan. 2. Turbines, condensers for. A counter-current, condenser is provided with a steam-distributing sleeve H over the steam inlet B, and with an air cooler and supplementary condenser comprising a pipe K cooled by the condensing water, which enters by the passage D. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the main body of the condenser contains a number of water trays F, provided with elongated openings 10, shown in plan in Fig. 3, through which the water passes in jets. The air cooler consists of a chamber I, open at the top and communicating by the pipe K with the airpump. Water enters the cooler by openings 1, and is deflected from side to side by surfaces 2. A drain pipe 13, with a water seal 14, provides for the removal of the water. In the condenser shown in Fig. 5, the condensing-water is showered through the steam by means of a spray plate L, and an annular passage 24 conveys the uncondensed vapour to the water-cooled pipe K.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Lifting Apparatus.
Filed: 1908-04-08
Granted: 1909-07-08
Abstract: 7797. Bielefelder Winden-u Werkzeug - Maschinenfabrik Huck & Co., Vemmer, W., and Willings, W. April 8. Pulley-blocks.-The load spindle of a singlepurchase pulley-block is arranged to slide in a slot in order to discount the driving-gear, so that the load-chain can be brought quickly into any position without using the driving-chain. A ratchet lever c engages a ratchet-wheel e keyed to the load spindle i, upon which pinions or cams n are also keyed. By working the lever c, the cams n are rotated, and owing to their engaging the rollers r the spindle is lifted in its slot. With only one turn of the block sheave, the wheels are placed in and out of gear four times. A spring or counterweight returns the lever c to its horizontal position.

Filed: 1908-04-22
Granted: 1909-04-22
Abstract: 8776. Schultz, F. W. F. April 22. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Projectiles, ordnance.-Shrapnel shells, of the type in which two or more explosive chambers are fired in succession, are so constructed that the explosion of one chamber displaces some metallic parts and thereby opens a passage to the next chamber. In the form illustrated in Fig. 1, a first charge f, fired by a fuse g, projects a disk c forward ; the explosion is then communicated to the second charge e over a wall b. In the modification shown in Fig. 2, the tube g is secured to the head of the shell. By means of a time fuse h, the charge e is exploded before the charge f ; or, by using a percussion fuse, the charge f may be exploded first.
Patent GB-190808971-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Instantaneous Vices.
Filed: 1908-04-24
Granted: 1908-06-25
Abstract: 8971. Hobbies, Ltd., and Jewson, H. April 24. Vices.-Instantaneous vices, of the class in which a partial nut is brought into engagement with the screw when the movable jaw is to be closed upon the object, are constructed so that the thrust of the screw when tightening is in line with the centres on which the partial nut is supported, to prevent the nut from becoming disengaged. The partial nut a is mounted to slide longitudinally on a flat rod b, and works between fixed vertical guide-cheeks d' in the recess d<2> in the body of the vice. The rod b passes through the recess d', and has its ends secured at b<1>, b<2> to parallel links c mounted on fixed centres c<1>, c<2> formed on or secured to the sliding jaw of the vice. The rod b is also provided with a spring b<4> which normally keeps it at right-angles to the links c with the nut a and screw f in engagement, and with a trigger-handle b<3> by which the arrangement can be operated as shown by the dotted lines to move the nut downwards in the recess d<2> and out of engagement with the screw. In the normal position, the thrust on the nut is vertical and in line with the resultant reaction of the centres b<1>, c', b<2>, c<2>.

Title: Improvements in and connected with Automatic Machines for the Sale of Crosswise Arranged Tickets, Postcards, Periodicals, and the like.
Inventor: WISTOFT SOREN
Filed: 1908-04-27
Granted: 1908-09-10
Abstract: 9120. Wistoft, S. April 27. Sale apparatus.-Tickets, post cards, periodicals, &c. are arranged crossways in a cross - shaped container 5. Actuating-mechanism; delivery mechanism.-The articles are supported by arms 5, 6, bearing friction rollers and mounted on shafts w, z, which are geared together and driven at equal speeds in reverse directions by a spring motor c. A detent 15 having been removed from a spindle 11 by prepayment, the spindle makes one revolution and the shafts w, z make a quarter-revolution, a cam 25 on the shaft z allowing a pivoted arm 22, Fig. 2, to fall under the action of a weight or spring ; the ticket which fell from the container at the previous operation of the machine is thus allowed to pass from an inclined plate 20 to a delivery bowl 21, the arm being again raised by the cam in time to hold the next ticket which escapes from the container owing to the quarter-revolution of the arms 5, 6. The motor spring is rewound through gearing m, f by turning the spindle k by means of a key, a pawl h preventing back motion. Coin action.-The coin inserted in a shoot 19 depresses an arm 14, thereby freeing the detent 15 from an arm 12 on the spindle 11.

Granted: 1909-02-18
Abstract: 21,308. Harris, J. W. Oct. 9. Kinematographs. -A shutter a for cutting off the light is connected by a link d to a counterweighted lever e pivoted at i. A curved plate of metal h is attached on the other side of the pivot, and the whole is so balanced that, if the film breaks, the increase in the size of the loop of film in contact with the plate h pushes it over, and the shutter falls into the position indicated by dotted lines. If the apparatus is driven by a motor, arrangements are made so that its circuit is only complete when the shutter is fully open ; in one method of obtaining this result, a tube k partly filled with mercury and having a terminal m at each end is arranged so that the circuit is broken when the tube is displaced from the horizontal.

Abstract: 12,144. Robinson, F., and Frerichs, J. A. May 22. Percussive drills.-Relates to drills for rockdrilling, well-sinking, &c. which are actuated by a device similar to a two-stroke-cycle internalcombustion engine, cranks and connecting-rods being dispensed with. The stamp-head or other tool is actuated by a cylinder and piston arranged so that the pressure due to the expansive force of the explosion of a combustible mixture lifts the head or other part, which then falls by gravity. The piston may be stationary and the cylinder reciprocate, or vice versa. The stamphead A<3> is carried by a pair of cylinders A, A' arranged tandem-wise above the stamp, the upper cylinder being provided with a waterjacket A<Î>. On starting, a pump B draws air and gas through a pipe A<4> and passage A<5Î> into the lower cylinder and forces it through a port B<2> into the upper cylinder, where explosion takes place, the charge being ignited at the sparking-plug B<3> or by other means. Exhaust takes place through a port B<4>, and combustible mixture is admitted to the upper cylinder from the lower cylinder by a port C, which communicates by a passage C' with a port C<2> in the lower cylinder. When the apparatus is used in an horizontal position for operating rock drills &c., a spring or similar device is provided to effect the return movement.

Abstract: 26,049. Galt, G. M., and Marx, R. Nov. 10. [Cognate Application, 11,428/10.] Suction apparatus.-In a stationary suctionroll or vacuum couch roll, the suction-box has no radial motion with relation to the perforated shell, and the construction and arrangement of the suction-box, or the provision of speciallyactuated packing-pieces, ensures proper airtight contact, the area of contact being made large to reduce wear. Packing-strips H having a sliding fit are mounted in grooves in the edges of the suction box, and are pressed against the shell by springs, or by water pressure from a water-pipe I. The edges of the packing-strips may be provided with india-rubber h. The suction-box A and the shell B are preferably maintained in their relative positions by roller or other suitable antifriction bearings C mounted between inner and outer hardened steel sleeves or bushes. The effective width of the suction-roll is varied by straps F mounted within the shell, and adjustable by screws G. The suction-box is held in position by screws, and may be set at any angle. The suction-box may be concentric with the shell as shown in Fig. 1, or it may be held in position by stays L, Fig. 2.
