Abstract: 29,225. Heilprin, W. A. Dec. 14. Pneumatic.-Relates to air guns of the type in which a lever when moved in one direction draws back a piston-rod, compresses a spring, and effects the engagement of the piston-rod and trigger mechanism, the piston moving a cylinder and its attached air-tube to allow a shot from a magazine to pass to a point in the rear of the barrel. According to the present invention, such air guns are so constructed that the parts are mainly of sheet metal, and they are so arranged upon a two-part housing that the removal of one part thereof exposes the mechanism for inspection &c. The two parts 2, 3, Fig. 11, of the housing are attached to a reduced portion of the stock 1, Fig. 2. In Fig. 2, the side part 2 is removed to expose the mechanism. The magazine 9, Fig. 5, is detachably mounted above the barrel, and the parts 2, 3 are provided with semi-cylindrical ends 7 cut away to provide recesses 8 for engagement with projections on the shot race 34, and to provide an opening through which the magazine may be charged when the band 10 is moved forward. The upper and lower ends of an abutment plate 23, for the spring 17, enter recesses in the side pieces 2, 3, and the upper end of the plate is notched to serve as a backsight. Lugs 25 on the side pieces form a mounting for the trigger-guard and cocking- lever 4, and an indentation 27 thereon forms a stop to prevent downward motion of the plate 18 carried by the piston-rod 19; a second indentation opposite to the cylinder 16 arrests rearward motion of the cylinder. A spring 24 secured to a link 31 holds the lever 4 out of action. The shot-race 34, Fig. 11, is made of a single sheet of metal, and is provided with inclined flanges 35, a recess to receive the barrel 36, and an opening to receive the air-tube 15 of the cylinder 16. The piston-rod 19, Fig. 2, is made of a single sheet of metal bent over at the forward end and riveted to the piston; a pin 39 receives the forward thrust of the spring 17. The trigger 20 is provided with a split tube 40, Fig. 13, which forms a distance-piece for the two sides of the housing, and with a pin 41 which engages with a projection 42 on the safety-lever 21 which is pivoted at 22 and operated by a thumb-piece. The projection 43 is engaged by the cocking-lever 4 to move the safety-lever aside to allow the pin 21<1> to engage the hooked portion of the trigger. A single spring 44, 45 actuates the trigger and safety-lever. The lever 4 is made of two pieces of sheet metal riveted together.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Steam Power Plants in which a Turbine is Driven by the Exhaust Steam from a Reciprocating or other Steam Engine.
IPC: F01D1/02
Filed: 1911-05-05
Granted: 1912-04-25
Abstract: 10,941. Colder, J., Kubler, G., Woollatt, G. S., and Fraser & Chalmers. May 5. Plant; regulating.-In a steam-power plant in which a turbine is driven by the exhaust steam from a reciprocating or other engine, the inlet to the turbine is controlled by a valve subjected to the opposing pressure of the steam and the atmosphere and having a lift proportional to the weight of steam passed. The valve is thus adapted to maintain automatically a constant back-pressure slightly in excess of that of the atmosphere in the pipes or receiver between the turbine and primary engine, and thereby prevents the entrance of air that would impair the vacuum of the turbine condenser. The plant is particularly applicable for driving a two-stage compressor, the turbine driving a turbo-compressor which feeds a piston compressor driven by the primary engine. When the demand for compressed air, and hence the output of the turbo-compressor, is small, the delivery therefrom becomes pulsatory, and it may also be advisable to stop the turbine; the closing movement of the valve controlling the inlet to the turbine is therefore adapted to stop the pulsation by opening a blow-off valve in the delivery pipe of the turbo-compressor, either directly or through a fluid-pressure relay, and/or to operate a valve which permits steam to pass directly to the condenser when the inlet-controlling valve is completely closed. Fig. 1 shows a piston valve 3 which controls the passage of steam through pipes 1, 2 to a turbine (not shown) provided with ports 4 designed so that the lift of the valve is proportional to the weight of steam passed, a spring 5 for counterbalancing the weight of the valve, an oil dash - pot 6 for preventing hunting, and liquid seals 10, the valve being raised by steam pressure in excess of atmospheric pressure on the upper side of the piston. In a modification, the space above the piston is open to the atmosphere through a constricted passage thus forming a substitute for the oil dash-pot. During the closing movement of the valve, a rod 15 is raised admitting fluid pressure by way of a piston distributing valve 17 to depress a piston 20 and thereby open a blow-off valve 12 in the delivery pipe of a turbo-compressor, not shown. When the piston 20 has been depressed a predetermined distance, a sleeve 26 surrounding the piston-rod puts passages 27, 28 into communication, and thus admits the fluid pressure to actuate a valve, not shown, which opens the steam pipe 1 to the turbine condenser.
