Title: An Improved Instrument for Measuring the Longitudinal Strain in a Revolving Shaft.
Inventor: YOKOTA SEINEN
Filed: 1907-11-07
Granted: 1908-08-06
Abstract: 24,677. Yokota, S. Nov. 7. Dynamometers.-The thrust of a propeller shaft is measured by allowing the strain between two points in the shaft to deflect a mirror, a reflected beam from which gives the necessary indications. Rods 20, 30 are adjustably attached to brackets 2, 3 secured on the shaft, and are supported by hoops and continuous or other bearings 14, 15 so as to avoid centrifugal effect, and are attached at the inner ends to plates 4,5 sliding in a casing 6 on ball bearings and rolling between them the rod 7 to which the mirror 8 is attached, visible through apertures in the slides. Slipping is prevented between the rod 7 and the plates by steel wires or tapes 11<a>, 11<b>, &c., arranged in alternate pairs on opposite sides and soldered to the rod and corresponding plate. The rod 7 carrying the mirror is arranged perpendicularly to the axis and surface of the shaft. Light is reflected from the mirror to a screen with a graduated scale. In use, a reading is taken after steady running of the shaft, and steam is then cut off, causing the light spot to move toward zero position ; a reading is taken when the torsion is zero, this being indicated by signal from a torsiometer. The distance between the two readings is a measure of the thrust. Temperature effect is stated to be eliminated by this method.
Patent GB-190725061-A (GB)
Title: Improvements relating to the Operation of Internal Combustion Engines using Oxygen or an Oxygen Carrier Diluted with Combustion Residues
Inventor: WINAND PAUL
Filed: 1907-11-12
Granted: 1908-03-05
Abstract: 25,061. Winand, P. Nov. 12, 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Gas and like engines.-In engines using oxygen or an oxygen-carrier, diluted with products of combustion, as a supporter of combustion, a dangerous accumulation of oxygen, in the event of mis-fires, is prevented by cutting-off the supply by devices controlled by an alteration in either the pressure, volume, temperature, or composition of the combustion products. In the two-stroke-cycle engine shown in Fig. 1, the combustible is sprayed in through the valve b and oxygen is supplied under pressure from the chamber s through the valve v. Water is also sprayed in at the end of the working stroke through the nozzle w. In the event of a mis-fire, the cooling effect of the water spray on the cylinder charge is insufficient to reduce the pressure to such an extent as to cause the oxygen valve to open, but when working normally the pressure in the oxygen chamber is sufficient to open the valve v after the cooling of the combustion products. In the four-strokecycle engine shown in Fig. 2, the products of combustion escape through the valve-controlled port a, while those remaining in the cylinder after the closing of the port are forced into the cooling- chamber B through the valve v, to be enriched with oxygen and fuel and to finally re-enter the cylinder through the valve e. In the event of an explosive charge being driven back into the chamber B, the oxygen-admission valve, leading from the chamber s, fails to open. If preferred, the varying pressures in the cylinder or behind the exhaust valve may actuate a piston or diaphragm which controls the oxygen-supply valve through a pawl-and-ratchet or cam gear. The supply valve may also be controlled by a thermo-electric couple, or by means of gearing, the movements of which depend upon the variation in composition of the contents of the cylinders. In the latter case, a portion of the exhaust gases is withdrawn by means of two pumps mechanically coupled and arranged in series with an apparatus for absorbing oxygen between them; when oxygen is carried away in the exhaust, the pressure in the space between the pumps falls, and this fall may be used to operate a piston or a diaphragm the movement of which may be applied for varying the admission of oxygen, and if desired for actuating an indicating-arrangement. This method may be applied for dealing with combustible gases in the exhaust ; for this purpose, after first absorbing any carbon dioxide that may occur in the gases withdrawn, the combustible contained in such gases may be burned by means of oxygen &c., and the products conducted through two pumps, between which there is provision for absorbing the carbon dioxide formed. Governing may be effected by varying the exhaust pressures or by regulating the pressure of the oxygen supply.

Abstract: 26,165. Parkes, W. N. Nov. 26. Eyelet-hole sewing- machines; ornamental sewing-machines; needlebars, vibrating laterally; presser-feet; w o r k-s u pports.-Eyelet-holes, small ornamental figures, monograms, &c. are sewn by a machine in which the needle-bar gate is vibrated in one direction and the work-holder in the direction at rightangles. The needle-bar gate and the work-holder are vibrated by similar slotted quadrants, which are secured to a common shaft and are actuated by a usual switch cam. Fig. 2 shows the work-holder actuating-mechanism. The needle-vibrating mechanism is similar. The block to which the pitman 48 is pivoted is suspended by an adjustable link 44, which is moved up and down to vary the throw of the pitman by the cam 29. The cam 29, together with the similar cam in the needle mechanism, is mounted on a shaft 24 and rotated by a ratchet-wheel and pawl 23, 22, a link 20, and an eccentric-actuated quadrant 18. The cam-bowls are anchored by links pivoted at 30. The quadrants 10 are mounted adjustably on plates 8. and are secured by screws 12 passing through slots 11. The work-holder 58 is mounted in guides 59 and reciprocated by the lever 53, which is connected to the lever 50. The presser-foot 63, Fig. 5, does not move, but is fitted with a carriage 66, which runs upon rollers 64 on the presser-foot and moves together with the work-holder 58. A spring 70 returns it to its normal position when the presser is raised. Figs. 13 and 15 show examples of the figures that can be produced by the use of heartshaped cams and suitably-adjusted links and quadrants, and Fig. 10<a> shows an example of figures produced by special cams.

Abstract: 16,272. Belin, E. Aug. 1, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. [Patent of Addition to No. 1615, A.D. 1908]. Telegraphs ; telephones.-In a facsimile telegraph for transmitting pictures &c. in which the shadows are in relief, the stylus that presses on the uneven surface of the picture, which is mounted on a rotating cylinder, is connected directly or through amplifying-levers with the diaphragm of a microphone in the line circuit. The movements of the stylus cause the microphone to vary the line currents in accordance with the heights and hollows on the picture surface. The resistancevarying part of the microphone consists of a series of carbon balls f of about 2 mm. diameter, set in concentric rows in an insulating-sheet d between tl e carbon electrode c and the large and stiff carbon, silver, steel, or other diaphragm g. For the purpose of transmitting pictures in which there are no half-tones, the distance between the electrode c and the diaphragm g is made greater than the diameter of the carbon balls, and such that, when the stylus encounters a raised part on the surface of the picture, the diaphragm is so far deflected that the balls complete the contact between the electrode and the diaphragm. When half-tone pictures are being transmitted, the carbon balls should always make contact between the electrode c and the diaphragm. Specification No. 1615, A.D. 1908, is referred to.

Inventor: SEAVER JONATHAN MERCER
IPC: B07B7/08
Filed: 1909-06-02
Granted: 1909-09-16
Abstract: 12,958. Seaver, J. M. June 2. Pneumatic separating.-A cyclone or centrifugal separator A for treating finely - divided material such as ivory black is combined with a gravity separator-chamber K, which receives the material discharged from the chamber A and separates the coarser particles therefrom, delivering only such fine material as is adapted for treatment without re-grinding into the blower C and thence into the separator A. The bottom L of the chamber K is inclined downwards and rearwards, and the rear wall is fitted with a door M and connected by a pipe O to the dust chamber I. The ground material is fed from a hopper S by a screw-conveyer R into the chamber K and carried through the fan C and pipe B into the chamber A. The lightest particles are carried up the dust-pipe E into the dustcollector, which preferably consists of a chamber G with depending porous bags H. The door T of the chamber I is closed when the apparatus is started, and the dust passing through the bags H is carried by the pipe P back again into the air curcuit. When the pores of the bags are sufficiently filled to prevent further escape of dust, the doors T, M are opened. The material delivered from the chamber A by the pipe D impinges upon a deflector N, the finer particles passing with the air current into the intake pipe J, while the heavier particles fall upon the inclined bottom L of the chamber, and, after being re-ground, are returned to the hopper S. The swinging deflector N is held at an angle by the air current entering through the opening O while the door M is closed, and afterwards by the air entering through the door M. The sectional area of the blast-pipe B is greater than that of the pipe D.
