Title: Improvements in and relating to Internal-combustion Turbines.
Inventor: HAUBNER LOUIS
Filed: 1910-03-12
Granted: 1910-10-27
Abstract: 6185. Haubner, L. March 12. Working-fluid supply; cooling parts.-An internal-combustion turbine comprises a hollow circular-flow rotor b, Figs. 2 and 4, actuated by combustion products. The explosive mixture is compressed by two revolving-cylinder compressors d arranged on each side of the drum and rotating therewith, and is forced into a peripheral combustion chamber, where it is ignited by the heat of the residue gases of the preceding charge. The initial ignition is effected by a sparking-plug n, which automatically cuts itself out of action when the pressure in the combustion chamber reaches a predetermined limit, this pressure remaining practically constant during normal running owing to the rapid succession of explosions and to the fact that there is direct and unobstructed communication between the ignition chamber and the turbine buckets. External cooling is effected by means of a peripheral water-jacket, and internal cooling is effected by water passing through a pipe r, along an axial passage in the shaft, through spaces t in the drum, and out at the other end of the shaft through an axial passage v.

Abstract: 7234. B e a r d m o r e & Co., W., and Bremberg, A. March 23. Sights.-Relates to cross-connected sights of the kind described in Specification 20,194/03, which are adjustable for deflexion upon a saddle extending over the gun and movable about a transverse pivot on the cradle for elevation. According to the invention, the saddle carries a guide formed on the arc of a circle, in which slides a correspondinglycurved sight-bar to which the sighting-devices are rigidly attached, the use of a fixed pivot for the sight-bar being thus avoided. The sights, which are shown in plan in Fig. 1, are carried on a saddle A, pivoted at A<2> to the cradle of the gun, and having a quadrant-shaped part C of channel section, in which is mounted a curved sight-bar D carrying the supports D<1> for the sighting telescopes. The sights are deflected by operating a screwed shaft G, which is mounted in the saddle A and engages with a nut G<3> connected by means of a link with the sight-bar D.

Granted: 1911-06-15
Abstract: 14,858. Berry, R. B. June 20. Direct gas - pressure apparatus, non-automatic.-A device for drawing liquids from casks &c. by means of compressed gas, in which a single movement of a handle opens (1) the liquid passage, then (2) the gas passage, and lastly (3) the gas valve; the reverse movement of the handle reverses these steps. In Figs. 1, 4, and 5, the shell a containing the plug b is shown provided with two cavities d, d<1>, so that, on turning the plug b anticlockwise, the liquid-outlet e<1> is put into communication with the passage e through the bore R. The plug b has a passage o and radial outlet o<2> leading to a groove p, so that, on turning the plug b further, the space below the nut g is put into communication with the top of the barrel through the capillary tubes q, s. The nut g then comes into contact with the stem of the valve k, and on further rotation of the plug b the valve is depressed, thus allowing gas from the cylinder C to pass through the passages o, o<2>, p, q, and s, into the cask or barrel, and force the liquid through the pipes s, e, e'. On turning the handle in the opposite direction, the valve k is closed first, then the passage o<2>, and lastly the bore R.

Title: Trip Valve for Automatically Applying Brakes to Trains and the like.
Inventor: MILLS GEORGE WILLIAM
IPC: B60T17/20
Filed: 1910-09-08
Granted: 1911-08-10
Abstract: 20,942. Mills, G. W. Sept. 8. Track apparatus for stopping trains.-A trip valve for automatically applying fluid-pressure brakes of railway trains &c. is constructed so that, when the valve is slightly opened by the automatic apparatus, the opening is completed by the fluid pressure. The valve 13 rests upon a seating 6 and is connected to a spindle 4, the lower end of which is constructed to form a piston 14 which operates in a recess 5 open to the atmosphere by leakage past the lower portion 8 of the valve stem. The valve is operated by means of a cam 10 formed on the spindle of a lever 9, which is normally kept vertical by a spring 15. When the valve is raised so as to bring the piston 14 out of the recess 5, the pressure equalizes on both sides of the piston, so that the opening is completed by the action of the fluid pressure on the valve 13. In the arrangement shown, the valve is re-seated by its own weight; but if it is desired that the valve shall not close of its own accord, it is arranged with its stem horizontal. According to the Provisional Specification, the piston is arranged to work in the guide 3 and the valve is fitted to the lower part of the stem. Specifications 20,612/06 and 9351/07, [both in Class 103, Railway &c. vehicles], and 10,925/10 are referred to.

Abstract: 27,602. Mascord, G. W. Dec. 8. Rotary machines; embossing; inking-apparatus; printing processes.-A printing-machine for printing the pages of newspapers, magazines, &c. by rotary typographic, lithographic, or off-set lithographic methods, and also from intaglio surfaces or off-set surfaces receiving designs from intaglio cylinders, is so constructed that separate intaglio cylinders, each one page wide, are provided for each side of each page width of web to be printed from such cylinders. As shown in Fig. 1, a wide web of paper f is first steamed from a jet c, dried by a roller d and then printed typographically on both sides by couples a, b. Slitters e then slit the web into sections a page wide, and the webs to be printed in intaglio are led to separate intaglio printing-cylinders g, each web being passed through two such cylinders if it is required to be printed on both sides. The webs are then, if desired, printed typographically by additional couples h and are then associated and delivered. In a modification a singlewidth web is separated from a wide web, and after being printed in intaglio is associated with the main web which is printed typographically only. In all cases the intaglio cylinders may be arranged in any order so that in some cases the webs may be printed from the intaglio cylinders before the typographic ones. The intaglio cylinders may transfer to off-set cylinders which print on the webs; and coloured effects may be obtained by spraying colour direct on to the intaglio cylinders or on to the off-set cylinders. Lithographic cylinders may replace any or all of the typographic ones. The intaglio printing - cylinders are preferably mounted in the manner described in Specification 19,328/11. In modifications, one full width impression cylinder may co-act with typographic or lithographic off-set printing-cylinders and also with narrow width intaglio cylinders, arranged as shown in Fig. 6, in which four sets n, n<1>, n<2>, n<3> of single width intaglio cylinders are arranged to print three colours on each section of a four width web. The intaglio cylinders may be inked by rollers similar to the ordinary ductor rollers of typographic inking- apparatus, or ink may be sprayed thereon.

Granted: 1913-01-09
Abstract: 9024. Falter, G. April 16. Annealing - furnaces; charging and discharging.-An oven or retort b for annealing metal objects in an atmosphere of non-oxidizing gas is provided at each end with a gas-tight chamber c the top of which carries a tightly-fitting crown d. A channel f filled with sand or other fine granular material c makes a joint with the cover g, and a similar seal is made between the lower edge of the crown d and an elevator platform l. When the oven has been filled with gas from a pipe s, the platform l is raised into contact with the crown d and the cover g removed. A truck carrying the goods to be annealed is placed upon the platform l and the cover g is then lowered, after which gas is supplied to the interior of the crown d through a valve p, a vent valve q being provided for the escape of air and gas. The platform l is then lowered and the truck pushed into the oven by a rod o. After treatment, the truck is returned to the chamber c for cooling purposes, and another truck is introduced from the chamber c at the other end. Liquids or metal alloys having a low melting-point may be used to form the seals. When the goods to be annealed are inserted at one end and removed from the other, an alloy that melts at 250‹ C. is used to form the seals at the entrance and an alloy melting at 60‹ C. is used at the exit of the oven. Flange joints may be used instead of liquid seals.
