Title: A New or Improved Apparatus for Controlling Speed and Power specially applicable for use with Automobiles.
Inventor: STAYTE ALBERT HARRY
Filed: 1908-08-21
Granted: 1909-08-23
Abstract: 17,543. Stayte, A. H. Aug. 21. Gas and like engines, governing. In motor -vehicles driven by an internal - combustion engine, the motive power is cut off automatically when a certain speed is reached, by means of excess of pressure in a liquid circuit kept in circulation by a pump driven by the engine and containing adjustable resistances. In the arrangement shown diagrammatically in Fig. 1, the pump A, driven by the shaft A', draws liquid from the tank D through a non-return valve and discharges it into the pipe B, from which it returns to the tank after passing through the resistances E, F, the course being indicated by the arrows C, C' ... C'‹. The resistance E is so adjusted that on the attainment of a certain speed the pressure of the liquid closes the throttle-valve or the like. When the pump is reversed, the non-return valves are so arranged that the pump draws liquid from the tank D through the pipe I, while the liquid leaves the pump at the other side and passes through the same course as before Figs. 2 and 3 show the construction of the adjustable resistance and throttle-valve operating arrangement. An adjustable opening for the passage of liquid is obtained by means of a valve K having a crescent-shaped opening M, Fig. 5, and adapted to be set for a particular speed limit by the pointer L<2> and clamping screws. Rise of pressure of the liquid due to increased speed of circulation forces the piston 0 against the spring 0<1> and tends to close the throttle-valve Q, which may however contain a V-shaped slot to avoid complete stoppage of the engine.

Granted: 1910-07-28
Abstract: 21,275. Brien, A. Sept. 30, 1908, [Convention date]. Blades, nozzles, and the like.-In a method of autogenously welding turbine blades to their bodies, the blades are provided with heel pieces, engaging fillets on the body. The blades a, Fig. 1, have one or more heels b<1>, to fit in grooves formed in the periphery of the disks and are welded to the upstanding fillets e', Fig. 5. A distributor blade a, Fig. 8, may also be formed with a heel b<1> which fits in a groove and is welded to a fillet e<1>, Fig. 10. The disk is formed in two parts d<1>, d<2>. The blades may be of the same width throughout, Fig. 14. The Specification in the original form, as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a), comprises also the autogenously welding of parts of dissimilar size such as the blades and drums of turbines by first welding the blade to a piece of intermediate size and then the latter part to the drum or disk. In the form shown in Figs. 2 and 3, the blades a of an axial-flow turbine are welded to a band b, which is afterwards cut and bent round the disk d, to which it is welded. If the band is very thin, the grooves e may be formed in the disk d so that the peripheral portion may be of dimensions approximating those of the band. In another form, the disk is replaced by a hollow drum. In a turbine distributor similarly made, Figs. 7 and 9, the disk is formed in two parts d', d<2>, and the band b carrying the blades a is welded to the central portion d<1>, the portion d<2> being afterwards placed in position. The band may be welded to the narrow portion of the blade, the groove e and band b being on the opposite edge of the disk. The intermediate parts may be parallel or inclined to the axis of the turbine, and the blade strips may be formed from strips arranged along the generating-lines of the drums. The two methods of attaching the blades may be used together or may be interchangeable. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.
