Patent GB-190917354-A (GB)
Title: Apparatus for the Continuous Automatic Determination of the Quantity of Steam or Pressure Fluid Delivered through a Pipe.
Inventor: LOMSCHAKOW ALEXIS
IPC: G01F1/26
Filed: 1909-07-26
Granted: 1910-07-26
Abstract: 17,354. Lomschakow, A. July 26. Steam meters.-Mechanism adapted to form the terminal element whereby any velocity meter may give an integration.of quantity upon a counter, is described as applied to steam meters of the type in which the pressure of the fluid before and after it passes a constriction in the pipes controls the apparatus. Two or more single integrators of known form are arranged in series in-order that the product or quotient or both of a number of functions of the same independent variable may be integrated, the application described dealing with the expression for the quantity of steam #kF#p1-p2#p1dt, where F is the cross-sectional area of the pipe, p1, p2 are the pressures of the steam respectively before and after passing the constriction, and k is a constant. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the shaft 1 is uniformly rotated by a clock, and has hinged to it a lever 6, the roller 7 upon which is adapted to bear upon a cam-cylinder 9 having raised and depressed portions of its surface separated by a curve representing one of the functions. The cylinder does not rotate with the shaft, but is adjusted axially thereon by means of a screwed sleeve rotated by the cord-pulley 3. As the lever rotates with the shaft, its further end will engage with and rotate a wheel 12, 13 when the roller is upon the raised portion of the cylinder, but at other times the wheel is stationary. From this wheel the movement is conveyed to a precisely similar apparatus shown upon the right of Fig. 1; the clock-work drive is replaced by the intermittent movement effected by the wheel 12, 13, and the cam-cylinder 9', 10<1> is adjusted axially by the cord-pulley 3<1> or its equivalent. According to one arrangement, a double liquid column pressure-gauge A, B, Fig. 2, is employed to rotate the cam-cylinder adjusting- wheels 3, 3', the piston 20 moving according to the difference between the two pressures, and the piston in the other gauge according to one pressure only, the necessary functions being introduced by parabolic curves upon the cam-cylinders. In modifications, the axial displacement of the cam-cylinders may be effected by means of external cam and lever parts shaped to introduce the desired formula, the cam-cylinder, when developed, showing a triangular raised portion, which in some forms may be made adjustable as to dimensions. Two Bourdon gauges may alternatively be employed, the difference of pressures being arrived at by gearing between them. The arrangement shown in Fig. 10 effects such variations of the crosssectional area that the function #p1-p2 remains constant. For this purpose, a valve-like body 28 is kept in equilibrium within a funnel-shaped pipe 27 by the pressure of the fluid thereon and the tension of a cord 29 passing around the pulley 3 and supporting the weight 30.

Title: Apparatus for Producing Very Low Temperature more especially for the Liquefaction of Gases and the Separation of Gas Mixtures at Very Low Temperatures.
Inventor: SCHNEIDER WILHELM
IPC: F25B9/06
Filed: 1910-02-01
Granted: 1911-03-01
Abstract: 2496. Schneider, W. Feb. 1, 1909, [Convention date]. Liquefying; separating gascous mixtures by liquefaction. - Comprises a form of expansion motor for reducing the temperature of gases, which is particularly applicable for use in processes for the liquefaction of gases and the separation of gases by liquefaction, but may also be used for cooling rooms, refrigerating food, or for supplying cold gases to a distance. A thin - walled steel cylinder a is provided with inlet and discharge valves b, c located in pipes at the cylinder end, and is fitted with a piston. of which the upper part d<2> is hollow and of less diameter than the cylinder, and the lower part d is a close fit and provided with a tight packing-ring d'. A gas is circulated in the direction indicated by arrows through conduits f <1>, f surrounding the cylinder. The piston is operated at a minimum speed of about five strokes per second, so that the inflowing gas cannot cool appreciably before expansion or diffuse its temperature after expansion to the cylinder walls and piston. By the above means, sufficient frictional heat is generated by the packing-ring to prevent the freezing of lubricants due to the cold produced by the expansion, while the prejudicial transfer of heat from the hotter end of the cylinder to the colder is minimized, such heat being absorbed by the gas in the conduit f. The Specification in the original form, as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a), comprises also means for liquefying air and like gases and means for separating gases by liquefaction. Fig. 2 (Cancelled) shows the liquefaction apparatus. Cooled compressed gas is liquefied in a cul-de-sac chamber d<2>, by the combined cooling effect of separate volumes of gas which are expanded in motors a, b of the type described above and then passed through chambers surrounding the chamber d<2>. Fig. 3 (Cancelled) shows the separating-apparatus as arranged, for instance, for the separation of the oxygen and nitrogen in atmospheric air. Cooled compressed air is liquefied in a pipe f by the passage through an envelope d of air expanded in a motor a of the type described above, and is partly distilled in a coil k surrounding a rectification column. The complete liquefaction of the portion rich in oxygen is accomplished in a condenser h placed in a chamber i containing liquid oxygen, and the liquefaction of the portion rich in nitrogen in a condenser m located at a point in the column where the falling mixture has approximately an equal percentage of gaseous nitrogen. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Windmills.
Inventor: HAYWARD WALTER
IPC: F03D11/02
Filed: 1910-02-25
Granted: 1910-09-01
Abstract: 4732. Hayward, W. Feb. 25. Screw motors.-Relates to windmills provided with gearing between the main shaft and the reciprocating rod allowing a low wind pressure to start the mill. The blades v<3>, Fig. 6, are secured at their inner ends to a band v<11> and at their middle parts to a rim v<1>, alternate spokes z passing through the band v<11> to hold it in its place. The hub x of the wheel carries a pinion w which meshes with a pinion m, to the side face of which is adjustably secured a heart-shaped cam n. On this cam bears a roller o which is carried by a lever i hinged at one end to the frame g' and at the other end to the rod j which it is desired to reciprocate. As the windmill comes to rest the tendency will be for the roller o to halt in the dip 2-3, Fig. 3, of the cam, so that when it is required to re-start the mill the cam will be in the position of greatest mechanical advantage. Lubricators a<11>, a<3>, a<4>, a<5> are provided for the different shafts. They comprise a rod i<3>, Fig. 4, carrying a sleeve f<3> which controls an orifice h<3> in a pipe e<3> arranged in the oil-cup. A spring g<3> and a stop l<11> maintain the sleeve f<3> over the orifice h<3>. The rods i<3> are adapted to be depressed by the fingers m<4>, m<5> of an arm m<3> which is hinged to the frame g<1> and held in a raised position by a spring n<3> or a weight. The arm m<3> is controlled by a hand-cord o<3> which may be so adjusted that automatic lubrication takes place for each oscillation of the lever i. To convert the reciprocating motion of the rod j into rotary motion, a similar train of gearing comprising lever, roller, and heart-shaped cam may be employed. A steering - tail b<1> is controlled by a hand-cord which, when released, allows the tail to swing through a right-angle under the action of a spring and to thrust a brake - shoe against the shaft. The mill is thereby swung into the inoperative position and stopped. A roller e' receives the end-thrust of the main shaft x.
