Abstract: 14,389. Harrison, W. L., [Williams, H.D.]. July 7. Turbines.-Relates to toothed gearing of the class involving an eccentrically-driven external gear rolling inside a larger internal gear and comprises means for balancing the parts so as to adapt the gear for use with steam turbines in marine propulsion. The driving-shaft 4 carries a duplex crank 11<a>, 11<b>, which carries the external gear 12, and a single crank 24, which carries a balance-weight 23. The gear 12 has a rim 14 meshing with the internal gear 17, which is secured to a fixed oil-bath casing 8. The driven shaft 5 carries a disk 21 connected to the gear 12 by links 18 which allow of the gears eccentric motion. The weight 23 is in the form of a wheel which rolls round on a track 22 inside the hollow wheels 12. Apertures are formed in the wheels 12, 23 to admit the cranks 11<a>, 11<b>, 24, and these elements are connected to the cranks by disks 15<a>, 15<b>, 25, which are formed in halves as shown in Fig. 3, connected at the joints 27 by bolts 26 with undercut heads and nuts as shown in Fig. 5. The links 18, which are pivoted upon bolts 19, 20 in the wheel 12 and disk 21 respectively, are balanced by extensions 36 and lubricated by oilpassages 30, 32, &c. In a modification, the balanceweight does not roll but slides radially under spring pressure, being separated from the track 22 by antifriction rollers.

Abstract: 10,471. Saurer, A., [Firm of]. May 3. [Addition to 6671/09.] Centrifugal governors. - The apparatus for tensioning the governor spring described in the parent Specification is modified so that it is actuated from any movable member between the change-speed lever and the gear box, instead of from a cam on the lever axle. Fig. 1 shows an example in which the spring is tensioned by the movement of the pushbars of the change-speed gear. Each bar has a recess 13, into which the roller arm 11 can be forced by the spring 12 to extend the governor spring. These recesses are all in alinement when the bars are in their inoperative position, but the movement of any bar to put the corresponding speed gear in action, raises the roller arm out of the recess, and releases the governor spring. By extending any of the recesses laterally, the speed of the motor may be controlled when the corresponding set of changespeed gears are in action.

Title: Improvements relating to Machines for Filling Bottles with Liquids under Pressure.
Inventor: CHAMP JOSEPH HENRY
IPC: B67C3/06
Filed: 1909-08-31
Granted: 1909-12-09
Abstract: 19,928. Champ, J. H. Aug. 31. Bottling.-In filling bottles against a counterpressure, after the liquid has been introduced, the residual counter-pressure is gradually reduced before the bottle is exposed to the atmosphere. The gas producing the residual counter-pressure is vented into a receiver at a higher pressure than the atmosphere, the gas of intermediate pressure thus obtained being preferably used in producing the initial counter-pressure in another bottle, before the full counter-pressure is produced by admitting gas direct from the liquid-tank. The invention is shown applied to a revolving-table machine of the type in which the bottles are raised to the filling-heads by fluid pressure, cam-operated plug cocks B<1> being employed to control the supply of pressure fluid, gas for counterpressure, and filling-liquid. In operation, gas at intermediate pressure is admitted to a bottle from the receiver a', then gas at full counter-pressure by the pipe a, the gas left in the neck of the bottle after the filling being vented into the receiver a<1> before the bottle is removed.
