Title: Improvements in Indicators for Indicating the Horse Power of Steam Turbines or Steam Reciprocating or other Fluid Pressure Engines.
Inventor: DEAM JOHN
Filed: 1908-07-14
Granted: 1909-07-08
Abstract: 14,870. Deam, J. July 14. Steam-engine indicators.-The horse-power of a reciprocating engine or turbine is obtained by means of a pointer, actuated by the governing- device of the engine and moving over a graduated cylinder rotated by the flow of the supply steam, the graduations being used in conjunction with a chart prepared by brake tests on the engine. A pipe 1 in the supply line 2 is fitted with a valve 4 pivoted at one side of the pipe and has attached a sector 5 which gears with a pinion 6 on the cylinder spindle. Connected to the engine shaft by any gearing is a governor which has a pencil 14 mounted to travel axially on the cylinder so that its vertical position depends on the number of revolutions per minute of the engine shaft. The chart is used to indicate the horse-power by noting the pointer graduation and combining this with the pressure of the steam as set out on the chart. A double-beat valve with a lever and cord attachment may be employed to drive the cylinder.

Title: Improved Process and Apparatus for Recovering Ammonia from Gases Produced in Dry Distillation.
Filed: 1908-12-02
Granted: 1909-04-01
Abstract: 26,027. Akt.-Ges. f³r Kohlendestillation. July 10, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Distilling ammonia.-The gas from gas and coke retorts is sucked by a steam injector 6 through a helical tar condenser and then through a couple of water-tube condensers from which a mixture of ammonia-liquor and tar passes to a reservoir 10. The gases then traverse a tar separator 5. The ammoniacal liquor of the chamber 10 flows to a reservoir 11 and an injector pump 12 forces it through a condenser 9 and pipe 13 to a still 7, where it is mixed with lime, and is traversed by the hot gases from the injector 6. The hot gases carry the ammonia to a saturator 8, where they meet a stream of sulphuric acid falling down a lead-lined tower packed with acid-proof materials.

Abstract: 13,072. Dickie, D., Wallace, J. W., and Savage, J. June 3. [Cognate Application, 24,303/09.] Outlets.-The outlet nozzles of beer engines and the like are provided with siphon devices to prevent drip. In one form, shown in Fig. 3, the outlet, which is tapered externally at s and cut off at an angle at h, has a siphon e formed integrally with it. The main passage is formed with a chamber m communicating with the outlet c through an air vent hole o. The smallness of the quantity of liquid that can be obtained by a short stroke of the pump may be regulated by varying the capacity of this chamber. This chamber also tends to check the surging of the liquid. In a modification, a separate siphon tube is inserted in the nozzle. In a further modification, the outlet itself acts as a siphon, an air inlet controlled by a ball check valve being fitted to a branch communicating with the main passage at its lowest point.

Patent GB-190919741-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Workman's Time Recorders.
Inventor: WOOD WILLIAM ARCHIBALD
Filed: 1909-08-28
Granted: 1910-08-29
Abstract: 19,741. Wood, W. A. Aug. 28. Ink - ribbon mechanism for workmen's timerecorders. The printing-carriage 70 is hung from a fixed shaft 71 and carries a ribbon carriage 72. (1) Feed. The ribbon carriage 72, Fig. 3, slides on a pair of pins 100 fixed in the frame of the printing- carriage 70 and carries a pair of ribbon spools 101 having toothed wheels which alternately engage spur-wheels 103 on a shaft 104 rotated by a ratchetwheel 105 and pawl 106. The pawl 106 is onerated by a bar 60 of a rocker frame which is oscillated by the workman as he punches his time. (2) Feed reversal. The ribbon feed is reversed by means of a see-saw lever 108, Fig. 5, engaged alternately by studs near each end of the ribbon. When the lever 108 is operated, it actuates, through a member 112, a sliding bar 115 having arms 117 in which the shaft 104 is rotatably mounted. The shaft 104 is thus moved to put one of the gear-wheels 103 out of engagement with the wheel on the spool and to bring the other into engagement. (3) Multi-colour arrangements. To bring either part of a twocolour ribbon into alinement with the printing- parts, the entire ribbon is shifted laterally at particular times automatically by a spring-operated mechanism released by a clock movement. The laterally-shiftable ribbon carriage carries the ribbon feeding and reversing mechanisms. The spring- operated mechanism, mounted on the printing- carriage, consists of a spring drum 121, Figs. 3 and 4, operating a wheel 126, which is connected by a rod 127 to the frame of the ribbon carriage. The drum 121 also drives an escapement-wheel 125, Fig. 4. The mechanism is released by a pallet operated by the clock. The pallet has forked ends 128, 129, one tine of the fork 128 engages pins 130 set in the escapement-wheel 125, while the other tine engages radial teeth 131 on the wheel 125. The pins and teeth 131 are arranged at opposite points of the wheel, so that, when a pin 130 is released by one tine, the tooth is caught by the other tine. The first tine is thus moved into the path of the other pin before the latter reaches it. The complete revolution of the wheel is made when the lower tine releases the pin. The pallet is operated by a cam-wheel having notches 136 representing the times at which the carriage is moved. One tine 150 of the fork 129 rides on the edge of the cam 135. A second cam-wheel 153, mounted rigidly on the minute-wheel shaft, has steps 155 so constructed that when the tine 150 is wiping the edge of the cam 135, the steps clear the tine 151. The cam 153 causes the ribbon-carriage shifting- mechanism to operate at the precise moment desired. The notches in the cam register with the tine 150 a little before the time at which the carriage is to be moved. The tine 152 will then be drawn by a spring to rest upon the step 155 until at the precise moment the sharp fall 190 releases the pallet. Specifications 4668/06, [Class 106, Registering &c.], 12,704/10, 12,705/10, and 12,706/10, [Class 106 (iv), Indicating &c.] are referred to.

Abstract: 24,936. Manning, H. D. Oct. 29. Flexible-band files; clamping-devices.-In a loose-leaf binder of the kind in which the leaves are held between clamping - bars by straps tensioned by a screw device, and in which means are also provided for enlarging the binder step - by - step, the step - by - step enlarging- mechanism is arranged so that it can only be employed when the sheets are relieved of compression, and the compression device is limited to one step of the enlarging mechanism. The straps 8 are secured at one end to a crossbar 9, attached by a keyhole slot to one of a number of pins 16 carried by a bar 17 in one cover, and at the other end are attached to a cross-bar 10 working on a key-operated shaft 18 mounted in the other cover and screw-threaded for a distance slightly greater than that between two successive pins 16. The straps consist of two strips of leather, one a little longer than the other, sewn together at the ends only, and provided with slotted metal ends 11 to facilitate attachment to the cross-bar 10. To add or remove a few sheets only, the shaft 18 is rotated until the nut 19 leaves the threaded portion, when the desired adjustment can be made; to add or remove a batch of sheets, the compression is released by rotating the shaft 18, and then the cross-bar 9 in the other cover is adjusted. Covers; locks.-A telescopic back 22 may be provided and is attached at one end to the cross-bar 9, and at the other end to a metal strip 23 fitted with a collar 24 acted upon by a compression spring 25. When it is required to keep the binder enlarged, a spring catch 26 is engaged over the end of the strip 23. Hinged lids 3, 31 are provided for the covers of the binder, the lid 3, which is locked in position, being provided with a projection 20 to cover the end of the shaft 18.
