Title: Improvements in and relating to Disc Valves.
Inventor: TOURTEL JOHN MESNY
IPC: F16K3/08
Filed: 1909-01-15
Granted: 1910-01-06
Abstract: 1072. Tourtel, J. M., and Mealing, W. R. Jan. 15. Rotary disk valves.-A rotary disk valve, for use more particularly with automatic lighting and extinguishing apparatus for gas lights, has the spindle e, Fig. 1, passing loosely through the valve h, and the valve is held to its seat with elastic pressure by means of a spring m pressing on a fixed collar i on the spindle and an elastic washer j between the collar and the valve. At the outer end the spring abuts on an anti-friction cap n. A fixed pin k in the spindle engages between two pins on the valve to rotate the same. The valve disk may be provided with apertures 2, Fig. 1, or it may be formed in the form of a cross, as shown in Fig. 5. The spindle e passes out of the gas-supply chamber o into a separate chamber containing the actuating-mechanism f, g, which can thereby be readily repaired without escape of gas and without the necessity of cutting-off the gas supply from the mains.

Granted: 1910-03-14
Abstract: 3617. Marlow, T. G., and Marlow, A. A. Feb. 13. Drying india - rubber &c.-Rubber and other sensitive materials are dried and stored in a chamber or chambers having each an inlet and an outlet duct so that alternately warm dry air is passed in, producing a slight pressure, and the moist air is withdrawn by a fan or exhauster, producing a slight vacuum. The Figure shows a form of apparatus in which three drying. chambers a are arranged side by side in one casing with an air-temperature equalizing - chamber b. Warm air is drawn from the chamber b by a blower r and is forced through a delivery pipe d, branch pipes, and distributing ducts g to the drying-chambers. The valves f controlling the inlet of air are then shut, and after an interval the moist air is withdrawn through ducts k, branch pipes with valves j, and a main outlet pipe h, to an exhauster q, whence it passes to a cooling-chamber m where the moisture is deposited, and a heating-chamber o from which the warmed dry air passes to the temperatureequalizing chamber. The fans q, r are driven alternately from a motor t through belt gearing. A germicide may be sprayed into the chamber m, which, in place of cooling-pipes, may contain a desiccant such as calcium chloride. In some cases, fresh air may be passed through the heater and the moist air passed into the atmosphere. Air - distributing baffles may be arranged within the chambers a.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Centrifugal Elastic Fluid Compressors.
Inventor: ALQUIST KARL
IPC: F04D29/46
Filed: 1910-12-05
Granted: 1911-11-30
Abstract: 28,210. Alquist, K. Dec. 5. Regulating centrifugal fans. In centrifugal compressors with adjustable diffuser vanes, the vanes are supported on parallel concentric rings, and are adjusted by rotating the outer rings relatively to the inner rings. The adjustment may be effected either by hand or automatically. The vanes e are mounted between pairs of concentric rings a, c, b, d the rings d, c being movable by means of racks g thereon actuated from wheels h on a shaft i. The vanes are pivoted in the inner rings by means of projections thereon entering slots in small cylinders fitting in holes bored in the rings, and slide between projections on similar cylinders fitted in the outer rings; or they may be slotted to receive projections on these cylinders. The relative adjustment of the outer rings thus alters the angle of the vanes. If automatic action is desired, the shaft i is connected with a motor which is started and stopped in response to variation in the volume of flow, for instance in the suction pipe, as shown in Fig. @ A wheel l on the shaft i gears with a rack m carried from a piston o in a cylinder p, the piston being worked by fluid pressure from the compressor stages entering at q and governed by a valve r. A convergent-divergent nozzle, connecting two points in the fluid passage having a pressure difference varying with the volume of flow, intensifies the pressure differences and communicates them to a chamber u in which is a chamber t having a piston s floating in liquid and connected to a governor lever v, which is connected to the valve r and to the rack m through a rack n with a smaller movement. The position of the piston o, and consequently of the vanes e, is thus varied. Specification 13,062/10 is referred to.

IPC: C14B1/00
Filed: 1911-03-18
Granted: 1911-12-14
Abstract: 6796. Forster, J. March 18. Processes for treating hides and skins; treating hides and skins with liquids. - Skins are tanned in a series of progressively higher pits, through which the tanning-liquor passes, decreasing in strength from the highest pit to the lowest, and which may be used in combination with a series of progressively higher leaching- pits having means for transferring the bark &c. from one pit to another. In the arrangement shown, the pits 1 ... 7 are for leaching, and the liquor passes along the tanning-pits 8 ... 26 preferably from the bottom of one pit to the top of the next one, the whole range being sloped so that fresh water introduced at 1 becomes strong tan liquor at 8, which is finally exhausted at 26. Between pits 26 and 18, the hides are preferably suspended from their edges and agitated as described in Specification 22,103/96. From 17 to 14 they are treated horizontally to remove wrinkles, and finally they pass through pits 13 ... 8 hung saddlewise over bars with the grain side downwards, with solid tanning-material dusted upon them. The leaching-pits 1 ... 7 preferably have perforated cages C hinged at their upper parts so that the tanning-material may be transferred from one pit to the next by raising the cages. The fresh material is introduced at 7, and is removed at 1 in a spent condition. The cages may be agitated, and the flow of the liquor into them may be aided by forming the perforations conically, the larger holes being on the outer surfaces of the cages. The material may alternatively be transferred along the pits by shovelling, and pumps may be used to transfer the liquor between any of the pits. The Provisional Specification also states that the inlet of such a pump extends beneath a false bottom of the pit, and that its opening may be kept clear of tanning-material by being raked by extensions of the pump plunger. Specification 6795/11 is referred to.

Abstract: 16,188. Gee, W. J., and Hydraulic Separating and Grading Co. July 13. India-rubber and like springs. -Relates to elastic buffers for the stationary spindles of centrifugal machines, or for the bearings of rotating spindles, and consists in providing means for compressing the buffer radially, independently of the load. The rubber or like buffer g supports the bearing b, partly by frictional contact and partly by means of a flange n, and is compressed radially by a conical sleeve h, which is drawn into a casing i by a nut k. The sleeve h has a number of alternate slits extending from each end to points near the other end. The frictional contact between the buffer g and the bearing b is on a cylindrical or prismatic surface, and, if the flange n and supporting- ring o are dispensed with, the contacting surfaces may be grooved &c. to increase the friction. The end surfaces of the buffer and the corresponding surfaces of the parts n, o may be curved so as to allow relative movement about the centre of oscillation of the spindle without compressing the buffer.
