Title: Improvements in and relating to Apparatus for Supplying Gas and Liquids.
Inventor: TIMAR DAGOBERT
IPC: F04B19/06
Filed: 1909-01-08
Granted: 1909-06-03
Abstract: 506. Timar, D., Dreger, K. von, and Kellmann, A. Jan. 10, 1908, [Convention date]. Actuating by gas-engines; steam pumps. Comprises a steam or gas actuated piston pump without a fly-wheel, for supplying liquids or gases, characterized by the fact that the pistons of the motor and pump cylinder are held stationary at the end of the suction stroke by the piston of a liquid checking or locking device rigidly connected with them until the space traversed by the pump piston has become filled with the fluid to be pumped, thus enabling the out-stroke of the motor to be effected at high speed without impairing the efficiency of the pump. The piston 1 working in the motor cylinder 40 is formed integral with an annular piston 3, the upper surface of which serves to pump fluid through the suction and delivery valves 5, 17, while the under surface serves to compress air within the chambers 12 during the down-stroke and to effect the up-stroke when the compressed air is allowed to re-expand Connected to the piston 1 is a piston-rod 30 carrying a piston 31 which works in a cylinder 32 containing water. During the down-stroke of the pistons 1, 31, water is forced from the space below the piston 31 through the non- return valves 34 into the space above the piston, and, at the termination of the down-stroke, this water prevents the pistons 1, 31 from moving upwards again until the valves 34 are opened by means of a tappet-gear. Any liquid escaping past the piston 3 is allowed to flow into the delivery pipe 15 through a pipe 27.

Granted: 1910-03-31
Abstract: 11,338. Spalazzi, F. May 13. Rotary distributors.-In an apparatus for the electrical reproduction of angular movements at a distance, a rotary distributing - switch at the transmitting-station transmits current impulses over a number of separate circuits to the armature of the electro-magnetic step-by-step motor of the receiver. The rotary switch of the transmitter comprises a number of slip-rings 8, Fig. 1, one of which is connected to each line, and a ring 9 divided into segments, a segment being connected to each slip-ring. The current is supplied to the segmental ring and thence through the slip rings to the lines 3, by means of a brush 10 which is broad enough to make contact with one segment of the ring 9 before it has broken contact with the preceding segment. In this manner, current is transmitted sometimes over one line sometimes over two lines, but the current is never broken. Conducting-liquid switches.-In another transmitting-switch. shown in Fig. 6, which may be applied for the transmission of magnetic-compass readings, the switch arm 17 dips into an electrolytic resistance in a channel 16, and, as it moves, it varies the electrolytic resistance between itself and a number of electrodes 19 in the walls of the channels 16, connected to the lines 3. In this manner, the strength of the current in the lines 3 is varied without an actual break taking place.
