Title: Improvements in the Arrangement and Construction of Fans for Compressing Air.
Inventor: JEFFREYS JOHN
Filed: 1905-07-18
Granted: 1906-02-15
Abstract: 14,753. Jeffreys, J. July 18. Fans.-For compressing air for use in organs, driving pneumatic machinery, blowing forges, &c., two or more fans c of the type described in Specification No.23,921, A.D.1895, [Abridgment Class, Air and gases, Compressing &c.], are arranged to deliver air to opposite sides of an ordinary scroll, centrifugal, or like fan b, while several of these compressors of decreasing size may be placed in series. A form suitable for compressing air for an organ is shown in Fig. 3. Air drawn in through inlets f by moving blades e and coming into contact with fixed blades d is compressed and delivered through openings o to blades l of the fan b, being finally ejected through an outlet n. The moving blades are so arranged that the portions nearer the centre of rotation receive the air tangentially to the circumference of the inlet spaces f, while their outer portions discharge it with a lead in the direction of rotation. Disks h, to which the moving blades are secured, are fitted with hubs attached to the common shaft a. These disks may form the sides of the drum of the fan b, or, as shown, be riveted thereto. The casing enclosing the middle fan is scroll-shaped. In the compressor shown in Fig. 5, a solid disk p carries the blades e, l, the blades l being stiffened by a gusset-plate extension r upon the central disk. The casing consists of two castings q bolted together. If desired, more than one outlet from the central fan may be provided. The issuing air may be cooled. To regulate the supply of wind to organs &c., a weighted damper, controlled by a lever attached to the bellows, is fixed in the trunk conveying the air from the compressor. When the instrument has pneumatic action, two separate compressors upon a common shaft are used, one being a highpressure machine with low volumetric output for the action, and the other, a low-pressure machine of large capacity for ;supplying wind to the pipes. The shaft bearings of the compressor are automatically lubricated by the arrangement shown in Fig. 9. Small bellows v connected with the compressor operate a wire or rod u attached to the cock-operating levers t of sight-feed lubricators s, a spring or weight w deflating the bellows when the machine stops.

Title: Improvements in Solo and Sub-bass Actions for Organs.
Inventor: NOTERMAN ALPHONSE
Filed: 1906-01-10
Granted: 1906-04-19
Abstract: 704. Noterman, A., and Osborne, J. H. Jan. 10. Organs.-Solo and sub-bass actions for pipe or reed organs comprise separate valves for each note controlling the admission of air to the valve chamber and to the pipe or reed and actuated by flexible connexions. A straight passage 3 runs from end to end of the series of valve chambers, wind being supplied from one end, and controlled by a valve 4 in each compartment. This valve is connected by a flexible strip 18 to a lever 20 operated by a pneumatic 13 and closes by gravity or otherwise when the latter is inflated. The lever 20 is controlled by a spring 27 and is connected by another flexible strip 19 to a valve 5 which opens as the valve 4 closes, and admits wind to a passage 6 leading to the pipe or reed, an exhaust port 7, leading from the same passage, being simultaneously closed by a valve 9. At the same time, an exhaust port 10 in the preceding compartment is opened by the slanting or bent connecting-rod 16 which lifts the spring-controlled flap 11<a>. Any wind trapped by the closing of the valve 4 is thus allowed to escape through the exhausts 10 before the valves 5 are opened.
