Granted: 1913-11-13
Abstract: 14,956. Walker, C. L. Dec. 24. Cam-actuated pumps; revolving - cylinder pumps. - Relates to fluid-pressure engines or pumps of the wobbler or swash-plate type. The cylinder barrel and wobbler or swash-plate carry rolling surfaces or tracks, which are free to rotate and convey the thrust from one member to the other with negligible frictional resistance. The cylinder barrel 1, Fig. 1, carries a projecting part 2, which has a circular track 2<a>, which engages a track 5<c> on the plate 5. The plate 5 has teeth which engage teeth on the barrel 1 and turns it synchronously therewith. The stationary part has annular distributing-ports. The connecting- rods 7 have convex terminal surfaces 7<c>, which rest on similar opposed convex surfaces 5<d> formed on the plate 5. Similar surfaces are arranged at the small ends of the rods. In the variable piston-stroke construction, Fig. 2, the stationary valve 3 has balancing recesses. The member 11 has two spherical annular bands 12, 13, which engage a stationary part 14 on the casing and an adjustable ring 15 respectively. The ring 15 has teeth which engage a fixed or automatically-actuated worm 16 and a worm 17, which may be rotated by hand. The ring is movable in a vertical plane, and inclines the member 11 and plate to vary the piston stroke. The worms may be replaced by racks. Rolling thrust tracks 7, 8 are provided on the plate and a rotatable sleeve around the shaft 9, respectively. The pistons 18 are weighted on one side of their axes bv providing borings 18<a> on the other side, and small borings 18<b> are provided to balance laterally. In the construction shown in Figs. 5 and 6, suitable for aeronautical internal-combustion engines with fixed cylinders, the wobbler 1 is secured to a hemispherical shell 1<b> provided with a projection secured to a fly - wheel 7<b> on the main shaft 7. The plate 1 is provided with apertures for the guide members of the rollers 1<g> carried thereby, and has screwed therein a part 1<c>, which forms the female track 1<d>, 1<c> of the rolling thrust elements 1<c>, 3. The members 4, 5 are provided with guide tracks 4<c>, 4d, 5<c>, 5d and are oscillated by arms 4, 4<a>, 5<a> actuated by eccentrics or cranks 6<a>, 6<b> on a two-speed shaft 6. The shaft 3 is bored axially to receive a small accessory valve-operating shaft 8 having a crank 8<a> which engages a pin 7<g> secured to the fly-wheel. A modification is described suitable for three cylinders. In some cases, two opposed sets of cylinders may be used. In such cases balance weights are disposed as described in Specification 13,296/10, [Class 122 (i), Engine &c. cylinders &c.]. The means for correcting irregularities in the engines described in Specifications 13,296/10 and 11,562/11 are referred to. Two tracks may be carried by the inclined or swash-plate member, adapted to roll on corresponding tracks concentric with the apparatus.

Granted: 1913-11-17
Abstract: 21,127. Irinyi, A. J., and Robert, L. Oct. 16, 1911, [Convention date]. Vapour-engines.-Relates to improved means for using ethylene chlorides for power purposes. In the construction shown in Fig. 1, ethylene chloride is evaporated in a boiler A, expanded in a motor C, condensed in a condenser D, and forced by a pump E back into the boiler. The air for supporting combustion passes first through the condenser D and finally through a superheater F. In a modification, the ethylene chloride is highly heated without evaporation in a generator, and is conducted in a liquid state into an evaporation chamber and then to the motor, or directly to the motor chamber, from whence it proceeds to the condenser and then back to the generator. The air for supporting combustion passes through the condenser.

Abstract: 27,946. F÷risdal, A. Dec. 6, 1911, [Convention date]. Mop and like wringers; brushes combined with scrubbing- cloths; cloths stretched over backings.-In a brush provided with a scrubbing-cloth which may be stretched over the brush or moved away therefrom, the cloth is automatically wrung by passing between rollers when being moved to the rear of the brush. The cloth is secured at one end to a bail 21, and at the other to a loop 28 having a handle 31 and being pivoted to a link 29 pivoted at 29<1>. When the link 29 is turned up into the dotted position, the cloth passes between the rollers 5, 6, which are respectively movable and fixed, and is automatically held withdrawn from the brush. As the bail 21 moves to the rear position, springs on its pivot-spindle act on small levers to move the roller 5, which is mounted on arms 8 pivoted at 10, nearer to the roller 6, the movement being limited by an adjustable stop 34.

Abstract: 29,563. Nowak, J. May 15, 1911, [Convention date]. Drawings to Specification. Electric-circuit equations, solving. - Relates to apparatus of the kind described in Specification 194/12 for solving determinants in connexion with the relations between electromotive force, conductances, and currentstrength in a network of electric conductors, and consists in arranging the sets of gearing for adding the current-strengths and the products of the electromotive force and the conductances as nodal point gears in the form of a polygonal network, the diagram of the network to be calculated being first reduced to this system.

Abstract: 6406. Tardieu, J. March 15, 1912, [Convention date]. [Addition to 14,669/12.] Combining sheet material. - In the apparatus described in the parent Specification for making corrugated paper, and in which the superposed webs are passed over a slatted table in a drying-chamber 11 by endless-band conveyers 4 arranged near the inlet and the outlet of the chamber, the adhesion of the webs is facilitated by rollers 1 pressed on them by moving chains 2. The rollers are preferably arranged as shown in Fig. 2 so as to lie at an angle to the corrugations of the paper. The rollers may be carried by the chains, in which case they are caused to travel faster than the paper, or they may be mounted in bearings in the frame of the machine and are pressed upon bv the chains. The conveyer at the outlet end of the chamber 11 travels faster than that at the inlet end, but slower than the pressing- rollers 1. To prevent condensation of moisture on the rollers they may be arranged beneath a hood.

Granted: 1914-03-30
Abstract: 7354. Roberts, T. March 28. [Addition to 23,237/11.] Sampling granular &c. materials.-An apparatus for taking samples of powdered substances &c., and operated from a distance as described in the parent Specification, is provided with means whereby the distant control is effected bv mechanical devices alone or in combination with electric devices. A sectional elevation of one arrangement is shown in Fig. 7. The substance is fed down a shoot 5 into a hopper 4 and thence to one of a series of receptacles 1, when a valve 6 is opened at predetermined intervals. A clock C having conducting arms 25, 26 is adapted to complete a circuit through a battery B and a contact 27<a>, and thereby energize a solenoid 43, which operates a pump-rod 44 so as to withdraw air from a bellows 49 to open a valve 6 and through a link 50 to reciprocate a rack 11. The rack 11 rotates a pinion 12 having pins 14, 15 of different lengths adapted to engage levers 16, 17 and rock them in one direction only, thereby operating the escapement levers 20, 21 to allow the table 2 carrying the receptacles 1 to rotate. Instead of a suction pump, a force pump may be used. In a modification shown in Figs. 3 and 4, the circuit through the battery operates an electro-magnetic clutch 28, and through an appropriate driving-gear drives a shaft 34 having a cam 35 mounted thereon and adapted to operate the valve 6 and the escapement rods 20, 21. If an electric motor is employed in place of an electromagnetic clutch, one of the gear-wheels 33, Fig. 6, is provided with a flange 88 adapted to hold a roller 97 in its raised position so as to complete the motor circuit for one revolution after the said roller has been first lifted by the armature of an electro-magnet 90, energized by the clock circuit. In another modification, a turbine may be employed, the steam or water therefor being admitted by a valve 74, Fig. 13, operated by a solenoid under the control of the clock; a governor regulates the speed of the turbine and of the shaft 34 driven thereby. The cam 35 on this shaft has a projection 81 adapted to engage a lever 82 to rock an arm 77 out of the path of a projection on the valve-spindle which is thereby lowered to close the valve. Other arrangements are described in which the distant control is effected by means of "Bowden" wires, cords, and the like operated automatically by a solenoid or electro-magnet; all of the modifications described may be hand-operated.
