Abstract: 14,546. Wirtz, L. Jan. 24, 1914, Expanding pulleys are constructed so as to change from high speed to low, or from low speed to high, automatically as the torque transmitted increases beyond or decreases below a certain amount. A sleeve 6 is secured to a driving-shaft 8 and supports loosely a pulley flange 2, Fig. 1. A flange 1 has a boss 15 feather-keyed to the flange 2 so as to be movable axially. The inner surface of the boss 15 is cylindrical and fits the outer surfaces of blocks 16, which can slide round therein. Lugs 9 extend outwards from the sleeve 6 and carry pegs 10 which engage inclined slots 20, Fig. 6, in the blocks 16. Compression springs 22, Fig. 2, press the lugs 9 against lugs 21, which project inwards from the flange 2. The pulley may turn solid or, if the torque increases, the springs 22 may be compressed and the blocks 16 may travel round inside the boss 15 without altering the relative positions of the pulley flanges. When, however, the blocks 16 strike springs 23, Fig. 2, extending from the lugs 21, the pegs 10 are forced right across the slots 20, Fig 6, causing the flange 1 to slide axially and the velocity-ratio to be changed from high to . low. The pulley then again turns solid. As the torque decreases past its critical value, the speed is again changed. The springs 22 may be varied in strength and the movement of the blocks 16 may be adjustably retarded by friction.

Granted: 1915-08-03
Abstract: 18,188. Cary, A. A. Aug. 1. Water-tube boilers.- In a boiler comprising banks of inclined tubes connected to front and rear headers, the water passing u p w a r d s through any one bank of tubes is conducted from the header at the upper end of the bank to the header at the lower end nf an adjacent bank, steam heing taken off from the headers at the upper ends of each bank. Water, supplied from the drum 120, Fig. 7, through a float - controlled valve 125 to the upper rear header 106, passes upwards through the top hank of tubes M to the front header 101, which is connected by return tubes 111 to the second rear header 107. The water passes from the header 107 upwards through the tubes N and returns through the tubes 112 to the next rear header 108, and so on. The return tubes are arranged outside the combustion chamber, preferably in the side walls. Steam is led off from the front headers by pipes 122. The valve 125 is controlled by a float in a chamber 116 in communication with the lowest rear header. The rear headers 14 ... 19, Fig. 1, are connected hy pipes 28 ... 38 to corresponding chambers 20 ... 25, into which the return pipes 29 ... 39 from the front headers discharge. The upper chamber 20 is connected to the drums by pipes 41, 27. The water supply through the pipe 27 is regulated in accordance with the level in the lowest chambers 26 by means of a pipe 62, which passes up through the chambers to a condenser 63 opening into a U-tube 66 placed in the drum 5 over the end of the pipe 27. When the level in the chamber 26 falls, steam passes to the condenser and, in being condensed, produces a vacuum in the top of the U-tube, thereby causing water to rise in the U-tube and overflow into the pipe 27. The bent pipes 43 placing the steam spaces of the front headers in communication with one another are secured by clamps 52, Fig. 4, which engage with pins 54 on blocks attached to the headers. The ends of the bent pipes are bevelled and seat against spring rings 51 placed in the openings in the headers. Hollow baffles 59 opening into the bent pipes are placed in the header opposite the generating-tubes to separate steam from the water entering the headers. In a modification, water is fed to the bottom rear header instead of to the top rear header, and takes an upward course through the banks of tubes. In this modification, separate connexions for the escape of vapour and air are provided between each rear header and the drum.
