Patent GB-825358-A (GB)
Title: Expansion turbine assemblies
IPC: F01D15/00
Filed: 1958-06-27
Abstract: 825,358. Stuffing-box substitutes. SULZER FRERES S.A. June 27, 1958 [June 28, 1957], No. 20729/58. Class 122 (5). In an expansion turbine assembly in which the turbine shaft 4 is carried by a liquidlubricating bearing 33, 35 enclosed in a container 25 having a throttled gas outlet line 76 and is packed by labyrinth packing 21 extending between the interior of the turbine 28 and the container 25 and in which, during normal operation, the pressure on the bearing side of the packing is kept lower than that on the turbine side by means of the gas outlet line 76, a gas storage container 124 fed with gas from the turbine is connected to the labyrinth packing. Lubricating oil is pumped by a pump 51 from a tank 50 to the bearings and a frictionbraking device 37 through lines 53, 47, 48 and 49 and returned from the housing 32 through lines 115-118, the tank communicating with the container 25 through a pressure-equalizing line 119. The gas outlet line 76 has a throttle valve 104 leading to an inspection bottle 75 with an outlet 77. The storage container 124 is connected by a line 123 to an annulus 122 in the packing 21. A valve 127 connected to the container 25 by a line 126 is controlled by a differential pressure regulator 128 connected to the turbine and the container 25 through lines 129 and 130 respectively. During normal operation leakage of oil vapour into the turbine is prevented by operating the valve 104 to provide a small flow of gas through the labyrinth packing 21 from the turbine to the container 25. If the pressure in the turbine falls suddenly, for example on stoppage of the turbine, the gas storage container 124 ensures that the pressure in the packing 21 falls more slowly than in the container 25, and thereby prevents oil mist entering the turbine. This effect is augmented by the valve 127 which is opened by the regulator 128 when the turbine pressure drops. The valve 127 and regulator 128 may be omitted or the valve 127 may be combined with the valve 104. The gas emerging from line 77 may be returned, after purification, to the turbine cycle.

Abstract: 296,534. Herbert, Sir A., and Vernon, P. V. Aug. 6, 1927. Milling. - A milling-machine is provided with a brace 2 which, is arranged to lock together the base 4, the knee 8, the arbor support 10 and the overhanging arm 12, any of the locking means being disengageable without affecting the others. The brace is secured to the base by bolts 3 adjustable in slots 18, and is machined on the face 7 and slotted at 14. The overhanging arm and the arbor support are secured by bolts 16, 17 respectively to a block 15 secured in the slot 14. A machined face of the knee is recessed to accommodate a shank 19 having rack teeth engaging a long pinion 30 operating a clamping bolt 32. A bolt 21 carrying a slidable bush 26 passes through the shank 19 and carries a clamp 23 bearing on the guide 24 by which the knee engages the column 25. By tightening a hand lever 22 the bush 26 is moved axially and a bevelled surface 29 thereon engages a similar surface on the shank 19, thus operating the bolt 32 to clamp the knee to the brace. At the same time the pull on the bolt 21 tightens the clamp 23 and locks the knee to the column. In some cases the brace may be constructed in two parts or for heavy work two braces, one on either side of the spindle axis may be employed. The brace may also be employed to support special fixtures or milling-attachments, guards, or other appliances.

Filed: 1923-08-16
Abstract: 222,277. Brooks, J. F. Aug. 16, 1923. Winding-machines; stop-motions; spindle-driving apparatus.-In a yarnwinding machine of the vertical spindle type, traverse mechanism for laying the yarn on the bobbin in successive coils comprises an oscillating arm 69, Figs. 9, 12 carrying a guide 70 and mounted to turn upon a pin 71 which is carried on a plate 72 mounted on a bracket 73, and which is inclined to the horizontal so that the guide 70 will move through a path parallel to the conical part of the bobbin. The arm 69 is oscillated by a rod 78 which is actuated by a bell-crank lever 77 driven from the cam-operated lever 34. The bracket 73 is slidable on a vertical guide bar 74 and is fed upwards thereon by the engagement of a half-nut 88 on a rotary screwed rod 87, the latter being driven at variable speed by friction gear 106, 107 from a shaft 91 interrmittently rotated by a ratchet wheel 92 and a pawl 93 mounted on an arm 94 and actuated through the link 99 by an oscillating lever 96. The half-nut is carried by a spring-pressed member 89 fulcrumed at 90 on the bracket 73 and actuated' by a rod 89<a> connected to the arm 81, and may be disengaged from the rod 87 and, together with the bracket 73, raised or lowered by hand. When the machine stop-motion raises the driven disc 7 out of engagement-with the driving wheel, a lever 108 simultaneously raises the rod 87 by means of a collar 110 and disengages the friction discs 106, 107. The stop-motion comprises the toggle levers 50, 51 connected to a feeler 56 carrying a yarn guide 57 and pivoted at their outer ends respectively to the machine frame and to a lever 53. The lever 51 is weighted at 65 and the system is balanced by the yarn when under normal conditions. If the yarn should break, Fig. 8, or the tension rise dangerously, Fig. 7, the levers 50, 51 are displaced and a rod 46, Fig. 6 pivoted to the arm 53 is moved and rotates a two-armed spider 42 on the spindle 1 causing the rollers 43 thereon to run up inclines 45 on a stationary disc 44 and thereby lift the driven disc 7 out of engagement with the driving disc 12. Each spindle 1, Figs. 1 and 2 is driven by friction discs 12, 7, the discs 12 being mounted on a horizontal shaft 13 driven at variable speed through friction wheels 15, 16, the latter of which is mounted on a dead shaft 19 in a yoke 21 and is driven by a belt 25 and pulley 24 from the drum 26.

Pounding-up &c.-A pounding-up machine comprises two rectilinear moving hammers arranged for vibrating movement in intersecting paths, one for operating on the heel seat of a lasted shoe and the other on the side portion adjacent to the heel seat, and a shoe support movable towards both hammers. The support is depressed and swung away from the hammers for removal and insertion of work by treadle operated mechanism. The hammers 17, 53 may be operated by rotating members 20, 54, Fig. 1, provided with projections 21, 55. The work support comprises a last pin 29 on a rest 28 rotatable on a post 24 of adjustable length supported by a cup at the end of an arm 25 pivoted to the machine frame and normally held raised by a spring 26. The post 24 is surrounded by a sleeve 34 connected by a pivot and universal joint to a slide rod 36 normally, pressed rearwardly by a spring 41. The rear end of this rod engages a bell-crank lever 37 connected by a chain 40 to a treadle 38, also connected by a spring 39 to the arm 25. Depression of the treadle thus swings the work support forwardly and downwardly away from the hammers. Rotation of the shoe by the operator results in a greater pressure being applied to the heel end of the shoe than the side portion. In a modification, a cam 60, Fig. 3, is substituted for the member 20, the cam and co-operating part of the hammer shank being shaped to provide a sharp blow followed by pressure for each descent of the hammer. In a further modification, the hammer is operated by an eccentric 70, Fig. 4, provided with a strap 71 bolted to a sleeve 64 actuating the hammer through a spring 65. In another modification, the hammer may be raised by a cam or eccentric and depressed by a spring pressed arm. When this yielding beater is used the shoe support may be unyielding. Means may be provided for stopping the hammers while the shoe support is in its forward position.
