Granted: 1914-03-05
Abstract: 24,836. Garst J. Oct. 31. Slugging. - In a machine for making nails by cutting off lengths of flat metal strip and then cutting pieces out of the side of these lengths to form n. head and point, means are employed for varying the length of the nail while keeping the size of the point constant. The strip 32, Fig. 1, is fed by a roller 31 intermittently rotated by a ratchet - wheel 30 and a pawl which is carried by the arm 27 of a shaft 26, Fig. 3, oscillated by teeth 24, Fig. 1, on the lever 22 which is in turn oscillated by the cam 20 on the rotating shaft 12. In order to vary the length of the strip fed, the pawl carried by the arm 27 is prevented from engaging the ratchet-wheel 30 by a plate 33, Fig. 3, which may be moved to mask the desired number of ratchet teeth by the lever 34 to which it is attached. The strip passing a guide 45 enters a slot 49, Fig. 4, in the carrier 48 which is oscillated about the pivot 46 bv a cam on the shaft 12. The carrier 48, while moving in the direction of the arrow, coacts with the end of the guide 45 to cut off a length of strip, then with the fixed cutter 64 to cut a piece out of the edge thus forming a nail, and then brings the nail opposite the slot 67 down which it is forced by the rod 16, Fig. 1, actuated by the cam 13 and springs 17, which drives the nail into the work. Within the slot 49 of the oscillating carrier 48, there is arranged a slide 71, Fig. 3, which, in the position shown in Fig. 4, contacts with the lever 77 operated by the cam 80 which is connected to the feed-adjusting lever 34, these parts being so arranged that the smaller the feed the farther the slide 71 is advanced. The advance of the slide 71 deflects the end of the strip into contact with the back stop 63, Fig. 4, so that the shorter the nail b, Fig. 11, the steeper the taper.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Elastic Fluid Turbines.
IPC: F01D17/18
Filed: 1914-04-20
Granted: 1915-07-15
Abstract: 9756. Warwick Machinery Co., [Vereinigte Dampfturbinen Ges.]. April 20. Regulating. - The supply of working fluid to the nozzles of a steam or gas turbine is controlled by a single pilot valve responsive to the pressure in the admission chamber, the pilot valve governing a series of valves each controlling a separate nozzle or series of nozzles, and the valve-operating mechanism being so arranged that each valve after the first only opens or closes after the preceding valve has completed its movement. The Figure shows a steam turbine a having a main inlet valve f controlled by a governor, and a series of valves b, c, d, e controlling the admission of steam to additional nozzles, the actuation of these valves depending on the steam pressure in the admission chamber r. The pilot valve i is connected to a piston k, the upper side of which is in communication with the admission chamber, and its lower side in communication with the boiler steam. The pressure on the upper side of the piston k is reinforced by an adjustable spring l. The valves b, c, d, e are connected to pistons h working in cylinders supplied with oil or other fluid under pressure through pipes arranged as shown. Should the load on the turbine increase, the valve f is raised by the governor, and the consequent rise of pressure in the admission chamber forces down the piston k, causing the valve i to admit fluid beneath the first piston h. When the piston h uncovers the port to the pipe m, the second piston is operated, and so on through the series. The escaping fluid from above the pistons is throttled at n so as to prevent a sudden return of the valve i to its normal position and the consequent incomplete opening of the valves b, c, d, e. A fall of pressure in the admission chamber results in the valves being closed in reverse order, each piston controlling the admission of fluid to the next cylinder, and the fluid beneath the pistons escaping through a throttled opening o so as to ensure the complete closure of the valves affected.
