Granted: 1909-12-02
Abstract: 6861. Fottinger, H. March 22. [Addition to 13,864/06.] Combined - flow type; reversing.- Hydraulic powertransmission apparatus, comprising primary and secondary turbines arranged so as to form a hollow ring, is provided with means for altering the speed and direction of running of the secondary turbines. As shown in Fig. 1, the motive fluid flows from the primary turbine 1 through a stationary guide-blade rim, the blades of which consist of two parts. The inner part 5 is fixed, and the outer part 6 rotatable, so that the fluid can be directed to the secondary turbine in a clockwise direction or anti-clockwise, the blades being adjustable in common by a number of cranks 8. For great reaction in forward running and small reaction when reversed the blades are shaped as shown in section in Fig. 2. To improve the admission to the secondary turbine, flexible members 10, 11, Fig. 3, are fixed to the axis of the guide-blades and rest against the stationary part 6; or flexible plates 13 capable of a common adjustment may be fixed to the stationary parts as shown in Fig. 4. Axially sliding members 14, Fig. 5, consisting of two passages 15, 16 for forward and reverse running respectively, are moved between two cylindrical surfaces on the secondary turbine 2 and the casing. Distributing-slides 17 actuated by fluid pressure, as shown in Fig. 8, have passages suitable for a variable number of stages. When used in conjunction with the passage 18, a strong reaction in two stages for forward running is obtained, while for reverse there is one stage of smaller reaction. Both forward and reverse running may be obtained through two stages by the sliding member 22, Fig. 11, where the blades 23, 25, 27 are used for forward running and the blades 24, 26, 28 for the reverse.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Recording Mechanism for Meters.
IPC: G01F15/06
Filed: 1909-04-28
Granted: 1909-08-26
Abstract: 10,062. Compagnie pour la Fabrication des Compteurs et MatÚriel d'Usines Ó Gaz. April 29, 1908, [Convention date]. Counters, arrangements of.-The counter of a gas &c. meter is provided with an arrangement whereby the reading is increased whichever be the direction of rotation of the actuating-spindle, so that any attempt to defraud is to the disadvantage of the person making it. With this device, the locking- pawl of the drum of a gas-meter is dispensed with, and the drum may rotate in either direction. Figs. 1, 3, and 7 show one construction of the apparatus. The spindle 1 of the meter mechanism is provided with a slotted disk 2, having bevelled edges adapted to engage two wheels 5, 6, on a spindle 7, of which the teeth are bevelled on one of their radial faces. The wheel 5 is fixed, and the wheel 6 is loose, on the spindle, so that the teeth are staggered and are held in this position by springs 8, 9, in recesses in the wheels, in combination with a stop 10 maintained in contact with pins on the wheels 5, 6. During the movement of the disk 2 the wheels are first shifted to such a position that the teeth coincide until the disk 2 allows the wheel 5 to escape, assuming the direction of rotation to be that of the full-lined arrow Fig. 7. The disk then completes the movement of the wheel 5 and the slot allows the other wheel 6 to escape and completes its movement in turn. This rotation is communicated to the counter through the pinion 13 on the spindle 7. Instead of the springs 8, 9 and stop 10 the wheels may be returned to their staggered position by a spring on a pin of one wheel engaging a pin on the other wheel. A modification of the arrangement is shown in Fig. 9, in which a worm 14 on the spindle 1 engages two worm-wheels 15, 16, each provided with pawls whereby the spindles 17, 18 may be driven in one direction only, movement of the spindle 18 being communicated by spur-wheels to a pinion on the spindle 17. In another arrangement, shown in Fig. 11, the spindle 1 is provided with a bevelpinion 24 engaging two pinions 25, 26, which drive the shaft 27 in one direction only by means of pawls, and, through a worm and worm-wheel, rotate the pinion 13.
