Abstract: 142. Vass, J. von. Jan. 2, 1911, [Convention date]. Pumps for gritty liquids ; diaphragm pumps; valve-gear.-Apparatus for raising and forcing liquids containing solids in suspension, such as mixtures of mud, lime, sand and water, cement, and the like, comprises a mixing-chamber having a mechanical mixer and also a supply of air which further mixes the material, assists in forcing it along the delivery pipe, and helps to spray it at the nozzle. The material is supplied to the mixer by any form of pump, air being supplied to agitate the material prior to entering the mixer. The controlling-valves between the pump and mixer are automatically operated. The mixture passes from a container 1, Fig. 1, through the valved piston 2 into the pump chamber 5. When the pressure in this chamber equals that in the mixing-chamber and air-vessel 3, a projection 7, Fig. 4, on the mixing-shaft 6 is designed to raise the spring arm 8 which allows the valve 11 to open. The material forced into the mixer is agitated and forced forward by the screw 13, the hollow shaft 6 of which is supplied with compressed air which further mixes and forces the material along the transmission pipe. In a modification, the pump acts upon a diaphragm which directly forces the material into the main mixing- chamber. In a further modification, two coacting chambers supplied from a common container 31, Fig. S, and feeding a common mixer 35, are alternately supplied with compressed air for forcing the material. The valves for the pump chambers are controlled mechanically or by compressed air under the control of the main rotary air-supply valve 36. The container 31 and pump chambers each have a screw mixer. Specification 20,480/09 is referred to.

IPC: G05D13/00
Filed: 1913-06-09
Granted: 1914-04-09
Abstract: 13,279. Eastwood, W. June 9. Centrifugal governors.-In a Rankine-type balanced crossed-arm governor, the whole or part of the gravity load is formed as an enclosing casing 21 driven by the driving-spindle 9, and a parallelmotion linkage is arranged between the pendulum weights and the casing. The crossed arms carrying the weights 1, 1<1> and 2, 2<1> are supported by pairs of hardened-steel pegs resting in hardened-steel cups in a U-shaped croes-head 8, Fig. 5, attached to the driving-spindle 9. The casing is driven by rollers 10, Fig. 5, at the outer ends of pins 7 upon the cross-head, the rollers engaging with slots in a ring 22 forming part of the casing so that the casing while being driven may rise and fall freely under the action of the centrifugal weights. The lower part of the casing carries a sleeve from which the valve-lever is operated. Each weight 1, 2 is of fork-like shape and carries between the prongs pins 11, 12, between which are arranged links 15, 14, 13, constituting a parallelmotion device, the ends of the links engaging with one another and engaging with the pins 11, 12 by means of hardened-steel pegs and cups. The intermediate link 14 carries a pin which is connected to a pin 18, fixed between the arms of the crosshead, by two links 17, and also receives the ends of two vertical pegs 19 which support the casing. This construction ensures that the lower ends of the pegs 19 move freely in an approximately vertical straight line under the action of the centrifugal weights. The upper ends of the pins 19 may bear against pegs secured to the centre ring 22 of the casing, or guided rollers may be used at the upper ends of the pins 19 instead of pegs and cups. The pins 19 may hang downwards and support the casing at its lower end. Ball bearings, knife-Edges, or rollers may be used for some of the peg and cup bearings. The device for rendering an isochronous governor temporarily stable as described in Specification 23,217/12 is attached to the weigh-beam, or as shown is incorporated in the governor construction. It comprises a spring-controlled oil dash-pot with piston 29 working in the fixed cylinder 28 and connected through a spring 35 and a depending member 34<1> to the casing, a second spring 35' being arranged between the piston and the sleeve. The load upon the governor may be varied by adding weights to the top of the casing or to the weighbeam.
