Title: Improvements in the Control of Steam-turbine-driven Boiler-feed Pumps.
IPC: F22D5/22
Filed: 1911-10-16
Granted: 1911-11-30
Abstract: 22,749. Weir, G. & J., and Lang, C. R. Oct. 16. Regulating. - A turbine-driven boiler-feed pump a has the steam supply to its turbine b regulated by a throttle g in a supply pipe e, the throttle being controlled from a float o located in the feed tank or in a pipe or well connected thereto. The float is carried by a lever frame p, q, r connected to a counterweighted lever m linked to the throttle. When the float falls to a predetermined level, the steam supply to the turbine is reduced sufficiently to prevent the pump from delivering water to the boiler, but not sufficiently to cause the shaft to pass through its critical velocity.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Machines for Moulding the Toes of Boot and Shoe Vamps.
IPC: A43D8/00
Filed: 1911-10-28
Granted: 1912-10-24
Abstract: 23,940. Bates, A., and British United Shoe Machinery Co. Oct. 28. Uppers, machines for; pounding-up &c. - A machine for moulding the toes of boot and shoe vamps is provided with means for giving the moulds a wiping as well as a pressing function. The work is placed on an arm B carrying a male mould E<1>. A female mould F is held by a shank F<1> in a block F<2>, which has upon its upper surface a curved guideway adapted to slide upon curved tongues formed upon the lower side of a carrier F<3> fixed upon an adjustable rod D. The block F<2> is normally pressed towards the shoe by a spring plunger F<5> mounted in a boss F' projecting from the carrier F<3>. As the shoe is raised by depressing a treadle, the peak of the toe engages the edge of the female mould, and this mould is gradually moved backwards along the slide, against the pressure of the plunger F<5>, until the two moulds are fully engaged, thus wiping the toe portion of the upper as well as pressing it. The upper is mounted on a worksupport carried by a bracket G projecting from the arm B. A stud G<1> rotates in a recess in the bracket G, and carries between lugs G<2> an horizontal pivot G<3>, upon which is pivoted a bar G'. A gaugecarrier H, which can only move longitudinally, is mounted on the bar G', and is adjusted by a handwheel H<2>. The gauge-carrier is provided with an edge gauge H<3> for the lower edge of the counter of the upper, and an upwardly projecting counter gauge H<4>, which may be removable, for the heel end of the upper. The pivoted arm G<4> rests upon a plate J, which is vertically adjustable in the bracket G, and is provided with a number of holes in which stops J<3> to limit the lateral swing of the arm G<4> may be placed. In a modification for operating upon an upper which has been pulled over a last, the female die is mounted upon a lug pivoted to the arm B, and the shoe, upon its last, is mounted in an inverted position with the toe resting against the female mould. The adjustable rod D bears upon the bottom of the last. The lug carrying the female mould is tilted backwards slightly by a spring plunger, and, as the mould is raised, it is gradually swung on its pivot against the pressure of the spring as before. The invention may be applied to a power-operated machine of the type described in Specification 28,661/03.

Abstract: 15,396. McFarlane, C. July 2. Hank type. - In machines for dyeing, washing, and similarly treating hanks, in which the hanks are suspended from a range of rollers in a tank of treating- liquid on either side of the machine, the rollers are driven at a high speed so that the hanks spread out along the rollers, and, preferably, the end-frames of the machine are independent, and the tanks are arranged in two pairs running on rails under the machine. The endframes a are usually connected by joint-members b carrying rails u<2> for the tanks u, while the upper parts of the frames have slots d for the sliding reception of the ends of a cross-bar e supported at or near each end, preferably outside the frames a, bv hydraulic rams f. The bar e carries, in transverse bearings g, a number of spindles h, upon each projecting end of which is fixed a porcelain or like roller i, preferably of rectangular cross - section and flanged at each end. The spindles h are provided with intermeshing spur-wheels j, the whole being driven from a worm gear m, k. The bar e and its load of spindles &c. is counterbalanced by means of chains o, pulley p, and weights n. The wormgear m, which comprises a quadruple - threaded worm, is driven through friction-gear q, r designed to give about thirty times the usual rotation speed to the rollers i. There may be more than one worm gear. Hinged rails u<1> are provided which can be turned down for bringing the tanks u from their platforms v', v<2> under the machine for use. In operation, the rollers i extend beyond the outer sides of the tanks u, so preventing the hanks from leaving the rollers. Rack-and-pinion means may, for example, be provided for raising and lowering the cross-bars c mechanically instead of hydraulically. The hydraulic-control lever may be designed to control simultaneously the driving belts. If desired, one set of tanks only may be employed and, instead of two small tanks, one large tank, with or without divisions.

Abstract: 19,833. Bennett, S. G. Aug. 30. Overwinding, preventing; emergency power cut-off gear.-Relates to safety gear for winding-engines of the kind having a floating lever connected to the engine controlling-gear and operated jointly by a governor and by the travelling member of a screw-and-nut depthindicator. According to the present invention, the floating lever 11 is guided vertically by a pin 16 working in a slotted bracket 14, and engages at one end with a stepped catch 33 on a weighted lever 15 connected to the throttle valve. The centre of the lever 11 is coupled by a linkage 28, 30 to the sleeve of a governor 6 and the opposite end lies in the path of the depth-indicating nut 4, so that the steam lever 15 is released either when the speed is excessive, or when the speed is not suitably reduced towards the end of the wind. A spring 34 tends to keep the lever 11 in engagement with the catch-piece 33. The lever 11 is linked to a similar lever 12 at the top of the screw. At the back of the apparatus, two other tappet-levers are arranged for controlling the brake, these being independent of the governor.
