Title: Improvements in Radiators.
Inventor: LAMBERT PIERRE
IPC: F28F1/32
Filed: 1913-04-22
Granted: 1913-10-02
Abstract: 9470. Lambert, P. April 22. Gills for tubes. - Relates to radiators, especially for motorcars, though also applicable for heating purposes, of the type consisting of gilled tubes through which water &c. circulates. The gills 2 are formed of plates with perforations through which the tubes 1 pass and other perforations 6 for the passage of air. The edges of the perforations through which the tubes pass are turned up to form collars 3 which serve to facilitate the soldering of the plates to the tubes and also as distancepieces to hold the plates apart. The edges 5 of the plates are bent to form a honeycomb pattern as shown in Fig. 3, thus forming a, series of inclined surfaces which direct the air on to the tubes in various directions. The tubes are fixed in a grill 7 of annealed copper or the like, sufficiently soft to allow of expansion, the edges of the openings through which the tubes pass being turned down as shown to facilitate soldering. The whole is supported in a steel reinforcing-band 10, Fig. 5. The tubes are connected to headers 11, from the various compartments of which tubes 13 lead to a vent to allow of the escape of steam.

Granted: 1914-04-09
Abstract: 29,286. Thompson, W. P., [Maschinenfabrik Augsburg - Nurnberg Akt. - Ges.]. Dec. 19. Floating docks.-Relates to that method of submerging unloaded floating docks, which are to be emptied by compressed air introduced into the bottom pontoon, in which the air contained in the bottom pontoon is compressed by the water admitted during the submersion of the dock, and compressed air is let off by throttling. After the bottom pontoon has been sunk to a certain depth, compressed air is forced thereinto as the dock sinks in order to equalize the internal and external pressures on the bottom pontoon as the submersion proceeds, without varying its water content. During this operation of admitting compressed air, water is admitted to the side chambers.

Abstract: 6557. Prenoszil, G. April 28, 1913, [Convention date]. Sidings, tracks for.- A shunting yard has two series of station track groups F<1> ... F<4>, F<5> ... F<8>, connected with a single run-off place, each group being connected to a make-up group G<1> or G<2> so that stock for one direction may be shunted in one operation by a single gravity run without impeding the shunting for the other direction. Tbetrack group L for local and exchange traffic, and for trucks to be weighed, unloaded, or repaired, is between the groups F<1> ... F<8> and the receiving group A, the trucks after weighing going to track R and thence to group A. From the group A trucks are hauled over the line B to the rolling- down tracks C, C<1>, each taking a whole train, the locomotives returning by the falling track D. A track E is for trucks not to be shunted. The gravity tracks F<1> ... F<8> and the groups A, G', G<2> &c. are not arranged on a single gradient but stepways, the F tracks having the greatest inclination. Each track of the groups F<1> ... F8 represents a station or section of the line.. The trucks wrongly shunted go to track H, and thence back by track S to group A. The tracks shown broken are for through trains, while the tracks J, K are for locomotives and goods trucks. Trucks requiring trans-shipment at the depots N, 0 travel by the tracks J, P back to the track C. The yard can be shortened by using switch angles four times greater than usual. The inward switches of the several track groups and the outward switches of the groups G are centrally arranged and the stations for the gravity shunting-tracks are notified from the incline of the track for each truck.

Abstract: 11,825. Pennink, J. M. K. May 14, 1913, [Convention date]. Disk-engine and inclined-shaft type; packing drums etc.; balancing moving parts.-The disk 2 of a disk meter, engine, or pump is made in two halves with the central hollow metal sphere 1, which, according to the invention, transmits power to a shaft 8 by means of a crank member 6, which is in contact with the sphere 1 and is connected thereto by a ball 4 engaging hemispherical recesses 5, 3 formed in the member 6 and in the sphere 1. The usual fixed partition 11 extends into a radial slot formed in the disk 2, but the edges of the slot are prevented from touching the partition by a pin 13 on the disk engaging a guide-groove 14 in the casing. To compensate for wear, the disk and sphere may be inverted, and a number of available recesses 5, 3 may be provided in the member 6 and sphere 1. The pin 13 may be dispensed with, and both sides of the disk may be provided with teeth 17, Figs. 5 and 12, engaging with similar teeth 18 on the conical surfaces of the casing. In Fig. 8, these teeth 17<1>, 18<1> are shown extending over only a short radial distance, and in place of the driving-ball 4, the member 6 is provided with a pin 21 engaging a recess 23 of the sphere 1. Packing-collars 24, 25 are provided, and pressed by means of water supplied under pressure to ducts 26<1>, 26. Split or resilient piston-rings may be used for packing instead of the collars 24. The partition 11 is provided with a packing - plate suitably pressed against the sphere 1. To balance the disk 2, Fig. 12, a slot 32 similar to the slot for the partition 11 may be formed on the opposite side and arranged to embrace a second partition 31, the motive fluid passing round this partition through a channel 33.

Closed solid-fuel stoves; air - heating stoves; heat r a d i a t o r s ; baffles.-A stove is built into the wall between two rooms or at the junction of three or more rooms, the heat - radiating surfaces of the stove forming portions of the walls of the rooms. In the construction shown in Figs. 1 and 3, in which the stove serves for heating three rooms A, B, C, the fire-place 15 is separated from the chamber 16 by a vertical wall 3, and the gases pass first to the top of the chamber 16, and then downwards through a mass of heatabsorbing and radiating material 1. A by-pass for use when starting the fire connects the fireplace direct with the outlet flue 4, and an airheating chamber 10 is built into the brickwork above the fire. An insulating-layer 9 of asbestos board in the walls of the chamber 16 prevents damage to the wall covering. In a modification, the gases pass first through tubes arranged horizontally at the top of the chamber 16, and then downwards through a mass of heat-absorbing material. In another form described for beating rooms on two floors, a portion of the gases from the fire is led to a chamber 16 on the upper floor. In a further modification, boilers are arranged above the fire and in the chamber 16, and the hot water is utilized for heating remote rooms.

Abstract: 15,354. Vickery, F. W. June 26. Feeding webs. - For feeding paper or like webs to cutting - machines, adjustable actuating-mechanism is connected to a measuring feed - roller in such manner that, for the different lengths of material to be cut, the whole of the movement of the rotary actuator is employed for imparting two forward rotary movements to the roller. The measurement of the different lengths is obtained by approximately the same degree of circumferential travel of the actuator. As shown in Fig. 1, the feed-roller 1 co-operating with a pressure-roller 4 is driven by a pair of racks 10, 11 connected to an adjustable crank-pin 12 on a driving-wheel 14, the racks being in gear with wheels 9 adapted to be clutched in turn to the shaft 5 of the feedroller. The wheels may be provided with oneway clutches, or a slidable clutch of the conical friction type may be used, such clutch being moved to and fro by a lever 17 which is actuated by a cam 19 on the shaft of the wheel 14 or by electro-magnets in circuits completed in turn by contacts on the wheel 14. Instead of employing a separate toothed wheel for each rack, a single wheel may be mounted on the shaft 5, and the racks may be carried on a frame adapted to reciprocate on a pivoted T-sectioned guide-piece under the action of the adjustable crank-pin. By means of a cam-arrangement, the frame is thrown first to one side and then to the other for the engagement of the one or the other rack with the wheel. In a further modification, the roller is driven by pawls or grip-pieces upon arms on opposite sides of a ratchet or friction wheel, the arms being actuated by rods connected to the adjustable crank-pin. The cut is effected by a revolving knife 22<a>.
