Granted: 1911-04-27
Abstract: 21,834. Johnson, J. N., and Johnson, J. H. Sept. 20. Outward-flow type; regulating; reversing.- An outward-flow turbine wheel having long blades 7 extending from the hub, and intermediate blades 6, is mounted to rotate upon a stationary hollow shaft 12, which may be a pipe connected with a steam-generator. A ported sleeve 19, screwed into the shaft 12, acts as a throttle valve. Its ports 20 are arranged on the upper side only, so that steam, passing to the wheel through ports 17 in the shaft 12 and ports 10 in the wheel hub, tends to take the weight of the wheel off the bearings. The sleeve 19 is rotated by a hand-lever to effect throttling. On moving the hand-lever into the " stop " position; a washer is caused to press upon the hub, and acts as a brake. In the modification shown in Fig. 4, two similar wheels A, B with oppositely curved blades, are arranged side-byside for reversing purposes. The valve sleeve and fixed shaft are provided with two sets of similar ports 39, 40, either of which can be brought into use by the hand-lever 48. The hub of the wheel has secured to it a sprocket-wheel 32 and a belt pulley 33, which has a square socket 34, so that chain, belt, or direct drivo may be employed. Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specifications 12,254/04, 12,322/09, and 13,766/09.

Abstract: 27,722. Kerr, T. C. Dec. 2. Electrical systems, automatic; track apparatus actuating signals on trains and for stopping trains.-Insulated track conductors a, bare laid in overlapping sections, and are engaged by a contact shoe g on an engine, from which a circuit is completed through a timing-switch h, a battery A, and a magnet C to the wheels and ordinary track rails, when a switch c connects the track rails to either of the conductors a, b. The switch e is actuated by hand or by connexion with a semaphore, and the magnet C on the engine gives an audible or visual signal, or applies the brakes by actuating a valve in the brake-pipe. The number of cells of the battery B in circuit is varied according to the speed of the train by a governor D driven from the train wheels actuating the switch B. If two trains similarly equipped are travelling at different speeds in the same section of track conductor, they are electrically connected and the difference of potential in circuit owing to the different speeds causes application of the brakes on both trains. A dynamo and rheostat may replace the battery A. The time-switch h is controlled by a dash-pot, and is used to break the circuit for a predetermined time for shunting purposes &c. The dynamo may be the same as that used for lighting the carriages. If a train is stopped on a section, temporary connexions of the track conductors and track rails may be made by short lengths of cable to stop approaching trains. The apparatus may be duplicated in the guard's van for use if the engine apparatus should fail to operate.
