Title: Improvements relating to the Separation of Oxygen and Nitrogen from the Air.
IPC: F25J3/04
Filed: 1910-03-23
Granted: 1910-10-06
Abstract: 7305. Soc. l'Air Liquide (Soc. Anon. pour l'•tude et l'Exploitation des ProcÚdÚs G. Claude). March 24, 1909, [Convention date]. Separating gaseous mixtures by liquefaction.-Relates to the separation of oxygen and nitrogen from the air by a process of the type described in Specification 7175/10, in which the air passes up a tubular system, the upper part of which is maintained at a lower temperature than the lower part, and consists essentially in passing the air successively through two tubular systems, of which the second system and the upper portion of the first are maintained at a lower temperature than that of the lower portion of the first. Fig. 2 shows an apparatus operating in accordance with the invention arranged at the base of a rectification column. F<2>, Flare the two tubular systems, the upper portion of F<2> and the whole of F<1> being immersed in a liquid rich in oxygen supplied by the pipe T from the base of the rectification column. The vaporizer V<1> overflows into the vaporizer V<2>, surrounding the lower portion of F<2>. Cooled compressed air enters by the pipe B, undergoes partial liquefaction with backward return in F<2>, and further liquefaction in F<1>, the second liquefaction product approximating to pure nitrogen. The second evaporation product.from the-vaporizer V<2> consists of pure oxygen and is led off through the pipe O. The first liquefaction and evaporation products pass to the rectification column. Where purer nitrogen is required, as in the manufacture of calcium cyanamide, a third tubular system is provided, and conveniently arranged within a central pipe depending from the last plate of the rectification column. Liquefaction and evaporation in this case take place in three stages, and the process may be arranged so that the final liquefaction is either complete, whereby pure liquid nitrogen is obtained or incomplete, in which case pure gaseous nitrogen is drawn off.
Patent GB-191007986-A (GB)
Title: Speed Reducing Gear.
Inventor: SPENCE WILFRID L
IPC: F16H1/22
Filed: 1910-04-02
Granted: 1911-03-23
Abstract: 7986. Spence, W. L. April 2. Toothed gearing. - Relates to toothed reducing gearing, applicable to the turbine propulsion of t r a m p steamers, and of the type described in Specification 9 7 1 6 / 0 7 , i n which the driving and driven shafts are coaxial and are connected through three countershafts placed 120 degrees apart around the main axis of transmission. The invention consists in providing an independent spring device with or without means for initial adjustment on each countershaft in order to obtain an even division of the drive or load. In one form, as shown in Fig. 2, the pinions on the countershaft which mesh with the pinion on the driving- shaft are provided with springs S between abutments A inside the rim R and pockets in the wheel centre H and cover plate C. Initial adjustment may be effected by moving the rim relatively to the hub and making the faces of the abutments A correspond with the ends of the pockets in the plates H, C. These pinions are preferably double helical, and are slidable either on or with the countershafts. In an alternative form, as shown in Fig. 3, the pinion R on each countershaft has no peripheral spring drive, and is slidably mounted on a castellated shaft or on feather keys. The pinions P, are however, single helical and gear with a similar gear-wheel on the driven shaft, thereby setting up end pressure in each countershaft C, which is absorbed by springs S supporting a Hoffmann or other standard double ball thrust bearing B. In this arrangement, the springs S are confined between plates F, F<1>, which are loosely mounted upon two sets of studs or rods T, Y respectively. The rods T are screwed into the gear casing G, and at their outer ends are provided with lock nuts N' limiting outward movement of the plate F. The rods Y are screwed into a plate F<2> abutting against the casing G, and are provided with lock nuts N<2> against which the plate F<1> abuts; at their outer ends these rods pass through a flange B' on the thrust-bearing B, lock nuts N<3> being provided. The thrust-bearing is thus supported in both directions by the springs S. The position or the compression of the springs can be adjusted by means of the lock-nuts. This device provides means for equalizing the drive through each countershaft by causing endlong movement of the countershaft to advance or retard the meshing of the single helical gear P in the event of any change in the load thereon. In each of the above arrangements, additional means may be provided for permanently adjusting the relative angular relations of the gear members such as P, R on each countershaft to obtain initially an approximate even distribution of the load. The Provisional Specification refers also to an arrangement in which all the gear elements may be of the single helical form.

Title: Improvements in the Warp Beam Mechanism of Twist Lace Machines.
Inventor: JARDINE ERNEST
IPC: D04C5/02
Filed: 1910-04-06
Granted: 1911-02-09
Abstract: 8322. Jardine, E., and Watchorn, E. April 6. Lace machines.-The end bearing of a warp beam is provided with the usual fixed brake member A and movable brake arm B, the latter being connected to a slide E moving in an arched guideway F<1> under control of a weighted bell-crank G. In the normal working, the pull of the beam threads D lifts the weight G<3> until stops G<4>, H come in contact. When the machine is stopped, the descent of the weight compensates any slight extension of the threads and obviates inequality in the work. The intermediate bearing comprises an outer annular portion K<1> carrying a recessed flange J formed on one half of the beam, the flange J<2> of the other half fitting in the recess J<1> as shown.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Chucks for Machine Taps.
Inventor: HANWELL CEDRIC HAROLD
IPC: B23B31/107
Filed: 1910-05-12
Granted: 1910-11-17
Abstract: 11,829. Hanwell, C. H. May 12. Tapping; chucks.-The tap is secured by a screw E and ball E<1> in a holder B<1>, which is coned to engage a corresponding socket A<1>. The socket has a hollow shank A surrounding the stem B of the holder, and a collar B<2> is fitted at the end of the stem.. Bevelled spring-pressed pins D lock the tap against rotation in the opposite direction to that of the rotation of the work during tapping. There is a certain amount of end-shake between the end of the shank A and the collar B. In operation, when the socket is pressed forwards, the conical surfaces are forced together, and no rotation of the tap occurs until the pressure is removed from the socket, whereupon the tap is screwed slightly on to the work and rotates. A reversal of the rotation of the work results in the pins locking the tap carrier.

Title: Method of Controlling an Auxiliary Driving Agent Temporarily Introduced into a Steam or Gas Turbine.
Inventor: URQUHART RIDLEY JAMES
IPC: F01D1/02
Filed: 1910-05-13
Granted: 1910-11-17
Abstract: 11,881. Urquhart, R. J., [Akt.-Ges. der Maschinenfabriken Escher, Wyss, et Cie]. May 13. Regulating.-In elastic-fluid turbines in which auxiliary fluid is temporarily introduced by valves which are either entirely open or entirely closed, the valves are opened at a higher load than that at which they are closed. The auxiliary steam may be fresh steam admitted to a suitable stage of the turbine for overloading it, or may be the exhaust steam from other engines in the plant, or may be high-pressure steam admitted temporarily to a turbine which works normally on exhaust steam from another engine. Fig. 4 shows the invention applied to a turbine 21 receiving main steam from a pipe 24, and auxiliary steam from a pipe 28 which receives the exhaust of a turbine 22 used for driving the condenser water-pump 23. The main steam-valve 26 is operated by a servomotor 25 controlled by a speed governor, and the valve 29 which connects the pipe 28 with the turbine or with a pipe 31 leading to the atmosphere, is operated by a servomotor 32. The valve 33 of this motor is actuated by a lever 34 of which one end is engaged by a spring catch 38. and the other by tappets 35, 36 on the rod of the main valve 26. When the power increases, the valve 29 is opened completely, whereupon the tappet 36 rises into contact with the arm 34, but it is not closed until the tappet 35 engages the arm on the downward movement. The pipe 31 may lead to a low-pressure part of the turbine.

Title: Improvements relating to the Manufacture of Water Gas.
Inventor: GLASGOW ARTHUR GRAHAM
IPC: C10J3/00
Filed: 1910-12-12
Granted: 1911-12-12
Abstract: 28,855. Glasgow, A. G. Dec. 12. Producers.-In watergas apparatus comprising two generators having a common bottom, or connected bottoms, top and bottom gas inlets and outlets, and steam inlets, means are provided for optionally connecting and operating the gas outlet valves. By these means, the two top gas outlets open and close together, and the bottom gas outlets open when the top gas outlets close, and close when the top gas outlets open. In operation, the apparatus may be used, firstly, as a twin generator working serially in either direction, that is, after the blasting period, steam is admitted to the top of one generator say a, the top outlet o<1> being closd by a valve v', and the top outlet o<2> to the other generator a<2> being opened by the valve v<2>. The steam - cock s controls the admission of steam to the distributing and regulating system. The valve-lever f<1> of the generator a' is connected to the top steam - supply valve s' and to valves supplying additional steam, if necessary, to the pipe c' connecting the bottoms of the producers, the valve - lever f<2> of the generator a<2> having corresponding connexions. A by-pass p' supplies additional steam to the top of either generator when working in series. This operation of the valves v<1>, v<2> automatically distributes the steam supply, the quantity of steam being regulated by meters. Secondly, the apparatus may be used as a pair of generators steaming together in parallel, either upwards or downwards. When steaming upwards in parallel, both gas-valves v<1>, v<2> are open, the steam-valves s<1>, s<2> leading to the tops of the generators are closed, and steam is only admitted to the bottoms of the generators. The shaft t', t<2> of the valves v<1>, v<2> may then be connected by clutch mechanism k', k<2>, k<3>, operated by a lever f, to each other and to a yoke y actuating the outlet valve v<3> in the pipe o<3> leading to the bottoms of the generators, so that by movement of one valve, say v<1>, the other v<2> and all steam valves are properly set for parallel running. When the valves v<1>, v<2> are operated by hydraulic or other power, so that the actuating-power can be applied to both v<1>, v<2> jointly, the clutch need only couple one of these valves v', v<2> with the yoke y. To resume serial steaming, the lever f is returned to its former position, thereby uncoupling the shafts t<1>, t<2>. The gas-outlet valve v<3> may be designed, by the weight of its disk, to relieve excess pressure within the generators should the other gas outlets be closed.
