Movable-abutment type; cooling parts.-In a rotary blower of the outwardly-sliding abutment type, all parts are water-cooled, and water is sprayed into the compression chamber during compression. The piston consists of a central body 8 secured to or formed in one with the shaft 7 and having two eccentric piston flanges 9, 10 working in annular chambers. Horseshoe shaped abutments 19, 20 are provided so that compression chambers of crescent shape are formed both inside and outside the pistons 9, 10. Stops 43 prevent excessive endlong movement of the abutments. The casing and piston 8 with its flanges 9, 10 have suitable passages, and the abutments 19, 20 and their shoes 17, 18 have suitable grooves in their faces, so that cooling-water may be circulated to every part, including the packing-rings 15. This water is forced under pressure from a water-separator 35 arranged in the discharge main 34, through a pipe 36 and a port 44 into the casing, whence it passes through openings 45 into the rotor. Radial vanes 13 in the rotor aid the circulation to the discharge opening 46. Air-inlet pipes 32 lead to the compressor and communicate with suitable inlet ports 47. Discharge ports 48 connect the chambers with pipes 33 leading to the discharge main 34. Non-return valves provided with dash-pots are fitted in the pipes 33. Water is sprayed into the working chambers through ports 57, which are uncovered by the piston flanges in their rotation. This water is supplied in regulated quantity from chambers 38, which receive their supply from the waterseparator 35. Air cushions in these chambers maintain the requisite pressure. The chamber 35, Fig. 14, in which the water is separated from the discharged air, comprises a bunch of vertical pipes 77 through which water is circulated. Air inlet and outlet ports 71, 72, and also outlet ports 79, 80 for the separated water are provided.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Electric Switches for use more particularly in Voltage Regulating Systems.
IPC: H02J7/22
Filed: 1911-11-22
Granted: 1912-11-22
Abstract: 26,119. British Thomson-Houston Co. and Garton, E. Nov. 22. Lighting systems. - The main switch f of a lighting-system having a variable-speed generator a is provided with a shunt coil k, a series coil g, and a coil h placed across the terminals of the switch f. The operation of the switch is as follows: - When the generator a is at rest and the switch f open, the action of the coils h, g is insufficient to close the switch. As the generator speeds up, the coil k becomes energized and opposes the action of the coil h until the voltage of the generator equals that of the battery c, whereupon no current flows through the coil h. If the power of the coil k is insufficient to close the switch f, the current in the coil h is reversed, and the two coils act in conjunction to close the switch and shortcircuit the coil h. A further increase in the voltage of the generator a causes it to supply current to the load through the coil g in such a manner that the coils g, k act in conjunction to maintain the switch f closed. As the speed and consequently the voltage of the generator falls, the action of the coil g is diminished, and if the switch f is not opened when the voltage of the generator falls to that of the battery, the current in the coil g is reversed and the switch f is opened, thereby energizing the coil h.

Abstract: 26,802. Reed, J., and Waygood & Co., R. Nov. 30. Lift cages and doors, locking and unlocking. -The vertically - moving bolt A, Fig. 5, for securing the door of the cage is held in the inoperative position while the door is open by means of a spring-controlled bell-crank B<1>, so that the bridge-bar D carried by the bolt is held out of contact with the terminals C in the cage-operating circuit. When the catch K on the door enters the casing, the bell-crank is turned, the bolt is allowed to fall to secure the catch, and the circuit is closed. When the cage is away from the wall door, the bolt is locked by an arm R on the usual control lever T. In another form shown in Fig. 2, the bellcrank is dispensed with, and a sliding bar B is provided, adapted to be raised by a shoulder G on the latch bolt A, when this is lifted by the catch K entering the casing. When the door is closed, the bar B is held up by the catch K while the bolt A falls to lock the door and to engage the terminals C with the bridge D on the bar B. In a modification, the bolt A and the sliding bar B each carry a pivoted bridgepiece D, Fig. 8, adapted when the door is closed to engage terminals C on the casing and themselves to contact, as shown. When the bolt is operated to unlock the door, its hridge-picce D is raised so that the circuit is broken, and before it falls again the bar B has been allowed to drop by the removal of the catch K so that the circuit is broken at the lower terminal. In each construction, the latch bolt is raised by an arm H on a handle lever L mounted on the door. The catch K has a limited swivelling movement to allow for alteration in relative levels. Specification 13,183/11 is referred to.

Title: Improvements in or relating to a Process and Apparatus for Carrying Out Gas Reactions in the Electric Arc.
Inventor: BOULT ALFRED JULIUS
IPC: B01J19/08
Filed: 1912-02-09
Granted: 1913-02-10
Abstract: 3342. Boult, A. J., [Dynamit Akt.-Ges. vorm. A.. Nobel & Co.]. Feb. 9. Gases, treating with electric discharge.-An arc is rapidly drawn out to its maximum length, or nearly so, in compressed air or other gaseous mixture, which is then suddenly allowed to expand and cool, preferably immediately after attaining maximum pressure. The original pressure of the gas may be 5 atmospheres, and the maximum pressure 14 atmospheres. In the automatic apparatus shown, a strong quartz tube A, or a water-cooled iron cylinder, is closed by caps A', one of which is of non-conducting material if necessary. The lower cap carries a stationary electrode B, which may be water-cooled. A movable electrode B', which may also be water-cooled, and may be of iron or steel with a silver hood, passes through a stuffing-box in the upper cap, and is attached to a rod C. When the upper electrode B<1> is in its lowest position, a rod E dips into a mercury cup and closes a circuit through a battery and a solenoid E<2>, the core of which holds open a cock G<1> to admit compressed gas to the arc chamber. This inflow is preferably slow enough to allow the gas to take up heat absorbed by the chamber walls in previous working. A piston L<1> in a small cylinder connected with the arc chamber is meanwhile pushed out against the action of springs L<4>, and as soon as the chamber is full, closes a double-break switch in the main-circuit; an arm M of this switch passes through a slot in the piston-rod, and is temporarily detained by a spring N so as to move rapidly under the action of other springs when released. The pressure in the arc chamber also forces the electrode B<1> upwards and causes the circuit through the solenoid E<2> to be opened at E, so that the admission cock G<1> is closed, the arc being thus formed in quiescent gas. As the gas becomes hot, the upper electrode moves more quickly, but is temporarily retarded, towards the end of the movement, by a piston D<1> attached to the rod C and sliding in a cylinder D<2>. When the maximum pressure is reached in the arc chamber, the piston D<1> uncovers an outlet D<3> from the cylinder D<2>, and thereafter moves rapidly upwards and closes a switch H in the circuit of a second solenoid H<2>, which opens a cock J' to allow the treated gas to escape to a cooling-device K. The upper electrode then descends, and the parts resume their original positions.
