Title: Improvements in Instruments for Measuring the Velocity of Flow of Fluids.
Inventor: CONTZEN HEINRICH
IPC: G01P5/14
Filed: 1913-05-17
Granted: 1914-05-14
Abstract: 11,513. Contzen, H. May 17. Integrating; drum recording-apparatus. - Relates to gas velocity and quantity meters of the kind in which the flow to be measured sets a cam for co-operating with a counter-operating feeler. The cam f has a one-way connexion with a pulley d operated by a flexible connexion from a cross-head b operated by a floating bell a under the control of a connexion to one of a pair of Pitot tubes, the other Pitot tube communicating with the casing 6. The feeler o works vertically in guides g and is flexibly connected to a disk d<1> on a spindle k', which is operated periodically by a tank z suspended from grooved pulleys d<3> on the spindle and filled from a siphon 17 in a tank w until it overbalances a weight m<1> suspended from a disk d<2> on the spindle. The tank z falls to a bracket i<2>, receiving water front the siphon 17 until its own siphon 18 acts and empties the tank into a waste tank z<1>, whereupon the tank rises again. The operations of the spindle k<1> are totalled by a counter g<1> by means of a pin on the disk d<2>. The disk d<1> drives an integrating-counter 9 until the feeler is arrested by the cam. The movement of the spindle is controlled by an oil damping-apparatus z<2> geared to a pinion z<1> on the spindle. Instead of the intermittent water - power described above, a spring motor may be employed to operate the feeler, which is then connected to a crank on the motor spindle by a connecting-rod with a long slot. In order to allow the feeler and cam to arrest each other without affecting their controlling-means, a. counterweighted disk p, Fig. 3, may be interposed between the cam f and its driving - pulley d, the disk having oppositely-set one-way connexions to each. The cross-head b carries a recording-point which marks on a drum the ordinates integrated.

Granted: 1915-02-24
Abstract: 4797. Twyman, F., and Hilger, Ltd., A. Feb. 24. Audible signals; signals indicating proximity of land, vessels, icebergs, and the like.-An apparatus for producing a "localized sound beam " comprises a series of sirens co-axially mounted and emitting synchronous sound waves of the same amplitude, the length of the row being a relatively large multiple of the wave-length of the sound emitted. The effect is to produce a concentration of sound intensity in the neighbourhood of a plane at rightangles to the axis of the sirens. The multiple siren, in one form, comprises a series of elements 1, each having the same number of outlet holes 5, co-axially mounted and supplied with compressed fluid from a pipe 2 through inlets 8 in the casing controlled by stop cocks 9<a>, the fluid passing to the interior of the rotating member through its peripheral outlet holes 7. In a modification, the siren comprises a long drum enclosed in a continuous casing and provided with a series of circumferential perforations. By rotating the siren about an axis at right-angles to its length, the direction of the sound beam can be varied ; or the same result may be produced by means of a plane or parabolic reflector, the latter reflector producing a still further concentration of the sound. The apparatus may be employed, as indicated in Fig. 5, to define the path of a channel, sirens 1 of different pitch being mounted so as to produce sound beams 1<a>, 1<b> on either side of the safe passage. Or such an apparatus may be mounted on board ship to give warning of the presence of an obstruction, such as a ship, rock, or iceberg, by which the sound is reflected. The siren, in this arrangement, would be continuously oscillated through a certain angle. the sound at the same time being intermittently produced. A siren for this purpose may be mounted, together with a driving-motor, upon a turntable. The note emitted by the siren may be above the limits of audibility, suitable means being provided for deflecting it. A parabolic reflector 17 for concentrating and deflecting the sound is of cylindrical form, being of constant action along its length in one direction.

A circular casing 50, Fig. 1, secured to a shaft 33 carries a series of radial spring-pressed plungers each having at its outer end a holder 66, Fig. 5, for a lemon. The casing 50 is rotated intermittently from the driving-shaft 3 by means of a crank 25, rod 27, and pawl 29, the pawl during the forward stroke engaging notches 36 on a disk 37 secured to the shaft 33. A casing 52 also carrying a series of lemon cups is synchronously rotated in the opposite direction. The lemons are placed in the cups 66. on the outer rising side of the casing 50, and the cups are drawn inwards by the action of cam-surfaces 51 on the pins 58. The casings 50, 52 are arranged to come to rest when a pair of cups are opposite each other, the cams 51 then allowing the cups 66 to be thrust forward to clasp the lemons at each end. At the next movement of the casings, the lemon is divided by the stationary or reciprocating knife 69 and the halves are carried down curved slides 70 until they come to rest opposite a pair of rotary cones on shafts 14, by which the juice is extracted. The lemon cups comprise a series of segmental jaws 66, pivoted to a concave head 62 and pressed on to the lemon by springs 68. Several sets of carriers 50, 52 may be provided, and they may be arranged on vertical instead of horizontal axes.

A lead disk E is soldered in position to close the cartridge airtight. A hole C in the cap B affords communication with the interior of the outer bottle G, and the disk E is weakened at one point to permit gas to escape in the event of excessive pressure being generated in the cartridge by gradual leakage of the acid. Specifications 21,333/05, 8057/09, and 7150/12 are referred to.
