Patent GB-190904962-A (GB)
Title: Improved Method and Means for Separating Fluids having Different Densities.
Inventor: BROWN CHARLES SUMNER
IPC: F16T1/12
Filed: 1909-03-01
Granted: 1910-03-01
Abstract: 4962. Brown, C. S. March 23,1908, [Convention date]. Vapours, separating from air.-Relates to a method and means for separating liquids from gases or vapours, or gases from vapours. The invention is applicable to heating or refrigerating systems in which such a separation is necessary, and is particularly adapted to the separation of water of condensation and air from steam in a steam heating system. The method consists in passing the mixed fluids through a passage having a movable wall by which its size is varied, and so constituted that during the flow of one fluid the resultant pressure on the wall causes it practically to close the passage, whilst during the flow of one or more other fluids, the passage is kept open. A casing 1 screwed to a radiator or other apparatus in which the separation is to be effected contains a member 10 in which is a passage 6 communicating with the casing 1 through the outlet 8. A disk 9 resting upon a raised seat 16 surrounding the outlet 8 constitutes the movable wall of the passage between the disk and member 10. The disk is guided by a pin 11 which also serves to keep the outlet 8 clean, and its movement is limited by a wire 12. A screen 13 prevents the entry of dirt into the passage 6. Steam passing through the outlet 8 spreads out in a thin sheet between the disk 9 and member 10, and, the area of the passage rapidly increasing, a reduction of pressure results which holds the disk towards the member 10 and prevents any substantial loss of steam. When air or water is passing, the reduction of pressure is not so great, and the air or water escapes and passes through the outlet 3.

Abstract: 30,184. Schier, H. Jan. 26, [Convention date]. Gyroscopic apparatus.-Relates to gyroscopic apparatus for sighting and automatically firing guns on moving platforms, and consists in providing an auxiliary telescope which is maintained on the target by a cardan-suspended gyroscope, and means for automatically firing the gun when the auxiliary sight-line and gun sight-line coincide, which means comprise an electric contact on a part connected with the moving platform, and a contact on a part connected with the gyroscope, together with means for modifying the action of the gyroscope so as to give the " lead " in firing. Figs. 1 and 2 show, respectively, in front and side sectional elevation the gyroscope which serves so to control an auxiliary telescope 10 that the target is kept constantly in the field of view. The ring 6, which is carried on journals 4, 5 attached to the casing of the motor 3 driving the gyroscopic disks 1, is supported on journals 7, 8 in a ring 9 suspended from the gun mounting. The journal 4 which carries the auxiliary telescope 10 has clamped thereto a fork 11, to which is attached an arm 13. This arm carries an electric contact 14 which, when the gun is in such position that the line of sight is horizontal, closes the firing circuit through a contact 13 mounted on the ring 9. The adjustable weight 16 serves to counterbalance the parts rotating about the axis 4, 5, and the adjustable weight 18 serves to vary the " lead " in firing and thus cause the gun to be discharged just before the line of sight reaches the horizontal position.
