Abstract: 12,155. Humpage, T. June 4. Pointing lathe centres.-In a hand-driven machine of the type in which the grinding-wheel is given an axial reciprocating motion, the emery wheel A, Fig. 2, is mounted on a spindle B and driven through gearing D, E. To produce the axial reciprocation of the emery wheel, a worm-wheel H, which is driven by a worm G on the spindle F of the gear-wheel E, carries a crank-pin L, which engages a slot M in a pivoted lever N, having a segmental spur-wheel at one end which engages a circular rack on the spindle B. The slot M is designed to give a reciprocation of constant velocity. To drive the device without reciprocating the wheel, the crank-pin is removed from the wheel H and inserted through registering holes P in the frame and lever, thus holding the lever in its central position. The device is clamped on the slide rest of the lathe by its arm R, Fig. 3, and faced portions T are provided to abut against the back of the slide rest. The plane of these surfaces makes an angle of 30 degrees with the spindle B and the lathe centre is therefore ground to an angle of 60 degrees. If any other angle is desired, the slide rest must be set at the requisite angle. The frame carrying the grinding-wheel is mounted to slide on a guide fixed to the arm R, and is adjusted by a screw W.

Granted: 1909-07-29
Abstract: 9860. Montjustin, R. d'Equevilley-. May 21, 1908, [Convention date]. Steam regenerative accumulators; causticsoda boilers.-Relates to a steam-generating plant for a submarine boat, which, during its surface travel, is driven by steam from a fired generator A, but, during its submerged travel, is driven by steam from a hot-water storagereservoir C. In order to prolong the submerged travel after the exhaustion of the steam from the reservoirs, the plant is provided with a soda boiler B, which is fed with hot water from the reservoir. Fig. 1 shows the connexions of the plant during surface travel. The fired generator A supplies steam to the engine D, and the condensed exhaust is led from the condenser E back to the generator as feedwater. Prior to submerged travelling, live steam is led into the reservoir C and the soda boiler B. Upon the boat diving, the generator furnace is extinguished, and the engine is run by the steam from the reservoir. When the reservoir is exhausted, the steam is drawn from the soda boiler as illustrated in Fig. 3. Part of the engine exhaust is led into the soda compartment b<1>, the remainder being conveyed to the comparatively cold water in the condenser and feed together with the hot water in the reservoir C to the water compartments b<2> of the soda boiler. When the soda compartment is full, or when the soda lye has become fully diluted, all the exhaust steam is passed into the water reservoir which is now cut off from connexion with the soda boiler, and further steam is generated in the soda boiler until the heat stored in the lye is exhausted. When the surface travel is resumed, steam from the generator A is passed into the water compartments of the soda boiler to re-concentrate the lye, the water evaporated from the solution being led through the condenser to the hot water reservoir, and the surplus water in the compartments b<2> being led to the generator as feed.

Title: Improvements in Automatic Stop-valves for Steam Generators.
Inventor: LOMBARD JOANNY
IPC: F16K17/32
Filed: 1909-07-08
Granted: 1909-12-16
Abstract: 16,000. Lombard, J. Aug. 3, 1908, [Convention date] Check valves ; valves closing with rush of fluid.-Relates to an automatic valve for use with steam - generators forming a part of a group or series, the object being to cut out automatically a damaged generator and to prevent the passage of steam into the same from the generators that are working. Fig. 2 shows the valve in sectional elevation. The steam from the generator enters the valve casing at c and escapes to the steam main through the passage d. The valve 10 is attached by a spindle 11 to a piston 12 working in a chamber 19. The chamber 19 communicates through passages 17, 13 with the interior of the valve casing on the two sides of the seat 6. Normally, the valve 10 occupies the position shown, the steam being free to pass from c to d. If steam passes in the reverse direction, it flows down the passage 13 and forces up the piston 12, thus closing the valve 10 upon the seat 6. The part of the chamber 19 above the piston 12 may be placed in communication with the atmosphere by means of a valve 21 in the pipe 17. This valve is shown in plan in Fig. 3. A spindle 20 terminates in two valves 22, 23, of which the valve 22 alone is normally on its seat. The passages 17, 18 are thus in communication with one another. When the spindle 20 is pushed inwards, the valve 23 is closed and the passage 18 is placed in communication with a port 27 in the spindle 20 which is open to the atmosphere. When the upper part of the chamber 19 is open to the atmosphere, the pressure beneath the piston 12 causes it to rise and close the valve 10. The valve 10 can thus be operated by hand bv means of the valve 21. A whistle 32 is provided to sound an alarm whenever the valve 10 closes. Steam is admitted to the whistle 32 through a valve 30 operated by a spindle 28, which is lifted by pins 33, 34 secured to the spindle 11. An ordinary hand-valve, adapted to be closed down upon the seat 7, may be combined with the automatic valve. To the stem of the hand-valve, a rod 40, Fig. 5, may be secured so as to slide up and down with the movement of the spindle. The rod 40 is provided with a projection 42, which engages a projection 43 on the spindle of the valve 21. The valve 21, and hence the valve 10, are thus simultaneously operated with the hand-valve.
