Abstract: 561,802. Hydraulic machines. BROADWAY ENGINEERING CO., Ltd., SELBY, J., and SPUTZ, O. Sept. 30, 1942, No. 13728. [Class 69 (ii) ] [Also in Group XXVI] Control mechanism for a reversible fluidoperated motor, e.g. for operating a shaping machine, comprises a valve 16 moved mechanically by the motor near the end of its stroke to throttle supply of working fluid and thus slow the motor before supply is cut off and a second valve 29 is operated to reverse the supply and exhaust connections. High pressure fluid from a variable delivery pump is supplied to a port 30 in valve 16 for forward movement while low constant pressure fluid is supplied to port 31 for reverse movement. Valve 16 controls the connections between port 30 and main pressure port 32a, throttled pressure 33a and exhaust 34a for forward working, and between port 31 and similar pressure and exhaust ports 32b, 33b, 34b for reverse movement. With valve 16 in the extreme right-hand position and valve 29 as shown, high pressure liquid passes through port 32a and pipe 8 to the motor, while motor exhaust pipe 13 and low-pressure liquid at 31 are connected to exhaust port 39. Near the end of the motor stroke, valve 16 is moved mechanically to the left, first cutting off the main supply 32a and leaving the throttled port 33a open, thus slowing the motor before this port is also closed and the return pressure port 32b opened. At the end of its stroke, valve 16 places the left end of valve 29 in communication with pressure oil supply 43, while the right end is connected to exhaust 48. Valve 29 thus moves rapidly to the right and connects pipe 8 to exhaust 39 while pipe 13 is connected to pressure supply 31 and the motor moves in the reverse direction. At the end of this stroke the whole process is repeated. A hand control valve 52 is used for starting, stopping and inching.

Abstract: 108,590. British Thomson - Houston Co., (General Electric Co.). Oct. 18, 1916. Vacuum obtained by condensation of vapour.- Relates to improvements upon the means for exhausting by means of a current of mercury vapour described in Specification 105,357. Within a cylindrical metal vessel 1, Fig. 1, there is an upright conduit 3, surmounted by an open cap 4 conducting vapour from mercury 5 heated by an electric coil 6. Passage of the vapour through the cap draws air downwards through a pipe 9 communicating with the vessel to be exhausted, condensation occurring upon the walls of the cylindrical vessel, which are cooled externally by means of a cooling-coil 11 soldered to the wall, and the condensed vapour returning under the direction of a baffle 15 through apertures 17, 14 and grooves 18 to the main body of the liquid. A rough pump withdraws the air by a connexion 13. Tn a modified form the mercury-vapour uptake is bent over through 180 degrees into a somewhat similar but jacketed condenser, having a trapped communication with the vessel to be exhausted, this passage being subdivided by diaphragms so as to impede the flow of any mercury vapour towards the vessel.

Abstract: 612,180. Lubricating. McPHERSON, A., and BIRD, W. B. May 16,1946, Nos. 14837/46, 24674/46 and 10131/47. [Class 12 (iii)] A rope or cable is lubricated from a pump driven by means which co-operates with the helical strands orwires of the rope. Cleaning means may be incorporated immediately in front of the device. As shown in Figs. 2, 3, a pump casing comprising two parts 1, 2 houses an eccentric pump rotor 3. Tubular ends 8 of the rotor extending through the casing are fitted with packing 9 and split lignum vitae bushes 10 which are rifled to mesh with the helical wires or strands of the rope and clamped in the rotor ends by screwed caps 11. The rotor is provided with two spring-urged vanes 4 bearing against the wall of the pump casing and having adjacent thereto discharge passages fitted with non-return valves and leading to the central bore of the rotor. Lubricant is supplied to the pump casing via a hollow screwed inlet 13. A rope drawn through the apparatus rotates the rifled bushes, and thus the rotor, causing the lubricant trapped by each vane in the crescent-shaped space 12k to be forced through the ducts 5 and thence to lubricate the rope. Lugs are provided on the pump casing to enable the apparatus to be fixed to any required position of use. A cleaning device comprising an auxiliary split rifled bush 12j housed in a split hinged casing ' 12c may be attached to either end of the rotor according to the direction of travel of the rope. In an alternative construction, the pump casing, rotor body, rifled bushes and packing are arranged in two hinged halfsections such that the apparatus may be opened out to fit around the rope. The screwed end caps are notched to pass over the rope when securing the bushes. Ropes of different diameters may be lubricated by introducing bushes and packing of appropriate internal diameter. A further construction as shown in Figs. 9, 10, for lubricating a plurality of ropes comprises four rotatable members 41 mounted on a lubricant supply pipe 44 and housed in a split casing 42, 43. The members 41 have helical teeth on their periphery to engage the rope and are provided with radial ducts 45 to serve as centrifugal pumps supplying lubricant to the cables. Freely mounted pulleys 47 hold the ropes 39, 39a, 39b, 39c in mesh with the rotatable members. The first Provisional Specification also describes a construction wherein an eccentric collar is enclosed by a strap having a connection utilized to drive a lubricating pump, such eccentric collar having secured in its bore a rifled bush, or bushes, which are caused to rotate by the passage of the rope therethrough.
