Granted: 1911-06-21
Abstract: 22,706. Holt, H. E. S. June 21. Indicating components of velocity. - Consists i n a n apparatus for indicating the angular velocities, about a vertical and an horizontal axis, relative to a gun, of a moving object such as an aeroplane or air-ship, so that a proper correction may be applied to the gun-sights. In the construction shown, the sight - carrier a of the apparatus is mounted to rotate about an horizontal axis a<1> on a vertical'column b, which is itself rotatable in a bearing b<1>. Brackets d on the column form guides for the rods c, c<1> of two drums e, el, which are moved axially at constant speed by cords f, f' connected to the spindle h of a clock - work mechanism i. Movement of the sight-carrier a about the axis a<1> effects the rotation of the drum e through a cord l, which passes around the pulleys m, j mounted on the axis a<1> and rod e respectively, and is guided by pulleys j<2>. Rotation of the carrier about the vertical axis b effects the rotation of the drum e' through a cord l<1> passed around pulleys m<1>, j<1> on the bearing b<1> and rod c<1> respectively. Swivelled frictionrollers s, s<1> are pressed by springs t, t<1> against the drums and are deflected by amounts that are proportional to the relative velocities of axial and rotational movement of the respective drums, and hence, since the axial movement is constant, to the angular velocities of the sight-carrier about the axes a<1>, b. Pointers r, r<1>, actuated by the rollers s, s<1>, indicate the angular velocities on scales v, v<1>. Other forms of speed-measuring apparatus may be employed.

Abstract: 25,682. Averine, I. A. Nov. 4. Rotary apparatus; roses.-The liquid is dis. tributed over a filter-bed by channels T which are supplied by siphons S from an annular reservoir B and are attached to the axle of a wheel M, K, which is rotated by the reaction of the liquid as the liquid passes through it and from the arms K to the reservoir B. The supply of liquid is regulated according to the amount of filtered liquid in the tank F by air pressure in the bell R, which is connected as shown to a reservoir g in the supply pipe. In a modification the arms K are connected to the top of the siphons in such a manner that liquid passing through them creates a vacuum in the siphons and starts discharge from the vessel B to the channels T. The chamber M may be formed with a siphon outlet. Arrangements are shown in which chambers M fitted with a siphon or float outlet valve are stationary and have a sprinkling-rose at the base, or rotate and supply the liquid direct to perforated distributing arms. The distributor shown in Fig. 11 has tubes D closed by a float P connecting the vessel M and the siphons S. A modification is shown, in which the tubes D are omitted but vessels with float-controlled outlets are provided to connect the arms K with the siphons S. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 13, the distributor T is rotated by the action of the liquid entering the siphons S from the vessel B. Fig. 7 shows a special form of distributing-channel with outlets at the sides.

Abstract: 29,281. Kalker Werkzeugmaschinen- Fabrik Breuer, Schumacher & Co. Dec. 18, 1909, [Convention date]. Power hammers.-A mechanically-raised drophammer has a chamber interposed in the cylinder between the atmosphere and the lifting space of the hammer block provided with a pair of closing valves which are operated by the hammer block and are primarily adjusted by hand to vary the time of closing, so as to strengthen or cushion the blow or to hold up the hammer block. The hammer block a which is hollowed out above to enclose the air-chamber f, is operated by a cam c and lever b, which is connected to the valves i, h by rods and levers. The pivot o of the lever k, m is adjusted by a lever p to vary the times at which the valves i, h are closed on their seats, the valve i being further pressed on its seat by the bending of the arm m which is formed as a spring. To hold the head up, the valve h is closed at the commencement of the downstroke, a partial vacuum being thus formed above the head. The variation of the time of closing the valve h alters the cushioning of the blow, and the force of the blow is increased by varying the time of closing the valve i. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) states also that only one air space and one valve may be used instead of an air chamber b and also a space above the piston. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

[Cognate Application, 4134/12.] , Self - sustaining gear; differential pulleyblocks.-Comprises improvements in the apparatus described in Specification 15,040/09, and consists in (1) substituting a strap brake, applied by the load acting through a lever, for the brake blocks of the former apparatus, (2) substituting an alternative construction of free-wheel device for the ordinary construction described in the above-mentioned Specification, and (3) adaptations of the strap brake and freewheel device to various hoisting - apparatus. Figs. 1 and 2 show the free-wheel device, in which the chain-wheel 1 has an eccentric hub 2 over which a ring 5 fits loosely. The brake drum 3 is of box section and has bearing against the inner surface of the rim segmental pieces 6, between which and the ring 5 are rollers or balls 7. A stud 8 on one of the segmental pieces projects into an arc-shaped slot in the chain wheel, or a stud on the chain-wheel may engage a slot in one of the segmental pieces. The above-described device is used in conjunction with the brake shown in Figs. 4 and 5, in which a strap or wire rope 10 is wound more than once round the drum 3 and is attached at one end to the frame, while its other end is secured to a lever 18 from which the lifting-hook hangs. A divided wearing-ring 11 is placed between the strap and its drum. The apparatus is illustrated as applied to the lower block of a differential pulley tackle, the pulleys of the upper block being connected by a free-wheel device as described in Specification 15,040/09 when several speeds of hoisting are desired. In one modification, the lower pulley is of ordinary construction, and the brake and free - wheel device are applied to the upper block, the brake being applied by the tension of one of the chains of the lower block which passes over a roller on, or is attached to, the lever to which one end of the brake strap is attached. In another modification, one end of the brake strap on the upper block is attached to the frame, while the other end is attached directly to the load chain. In a further modification shown in Figs. 14 and 15, the apparatus is applied to a hoist in which the chain-wheel 29 drives the shaft 28 to which a drum 31 is secured. The brake drum 3 is loosely mounted on the shaft, but is connected to the drum by the free-wheel device. One end of the brake strap is attached to the frame, while its other end is attached to one of two arms connected by the roller 33. A wire rope to which the lifting-hook 34 is secured is wound on the drum and bears against the roller 33 to apply the brake. In Fig. 16, the device is shown applied to a jib crane. The rope from the winding-drum passes over one head sheave, is looped round the lower sheave 42, and then passes round the other head sheave to the brake lever 18.

Abstract: 9141. Savory, W. N. April 18. Roasting granular substances; sampling granular materials.-An apparatus for roasting malt, grain, &c. comprises a stationary casing 1 and a revolving drum 3 mounted on hollow bearings 4 carried by bearing-rollers 2 and communicating with circuitous passages 5 within the drum. The heating-medium consisting of steam, flue gases, or gaseous or liquid fuel passes in through one or both bearings, through the passages 5, circulates round the drum, is deflected downwards round the drum by an arched baffle 10, and finally escapes by the opening 11. When combustion takes place in the apparatus, the passages 5 and casing 1 are lined with fire-brick 13 or the like, and cone-shaped baffles 12<1> form a primary combustion chamber near the inlet and ensure complete combustion. Vapours driven off from the roasting material leave the drum by apertures 14 and are consumed in the passages 5. Conical rings 24 stir the material and prevent accumulation at the ends of the drum. The material is supplied and discharged through a lateral opening in the drum and through doors in the upper and lower parts of the casing. Samples are taken by means of a small rotary door 17, Fig. 3, carrying a pocket 22 and having a star-wheel 19 on its spindle. When the handle 21 is pressed inwards, the pins 20 engage the star - wheel, and, as the drum rotates, the door 17 is turned, and a sample is taken by the pocket and dropped into a hopper 23 discharging through the casing. The flues may be so shaped that the drum is rotated by the reaction of the heating-medium.
