Title: Transforming Diffuser.
Inventor: ADAM KREGLEWSKI
IPC: F01K11/04
Filed: 1910-01-25
Abstract: 1812. Kreglewski, A. Jan. 25, 1910, [Convention date]. Void. [Published under Section 91 of the Act.] Working-fluid supply -A process, according to which gases or vapours at a high temperature and low pressure are raised in pressure and decreased in temperature by causing them first to expand adiabatically (as far as possible) in a nozzle, and then to be isothermally compressed in a cooled divergent passage. is stated to be specially applicable for the operation of gas and exhaust gas turbines. Moreover, a form of gas turbine is claimed in which the hot gases expand in a single-step, radial, reaction, or action wheel under atmospheric pressure, and are subsequently re-compressed to atmospheric pressure in the cooled divergent passage. Fig. 1 describes a gascompressing apparatus with a stationary disk a, but the disk may be adapted for rotation by the expanding hot gases and thus constitute a turbine rotor. Hot gases from an inlet pipe e are expanded through an annular nozzle, or preferably a series of nozzles b formed by curved blades c, mounted on the disk a, and then isothermally compressed while passing between parallel walls leading to an annular flaring outlet similar to that of a centrifugal fan, the cooling being effected by water flowing from pipes g through chambers h and ports i, and along the inner sides of the parallel walls to outlet pipes l. The curvature of the blades is adapted to cause the gases to be projected in spiral paths and thus increase the cooling-effect. Surface cooling may also be applied.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Dovetailing Machinery or Apparatus.
IPC: B27F1/12
Filed: 1911-02-22
Granted: 1911-08-10
Abstract: 4493. Cooksley, A., and Kirchner & Co. Feb. 22. Dovetailing.-The two boards A, A<1> to be dovetailed are clamped together at right-angles on the work carriage d, to which a to-and-fro motion and a stepby-step cross motion are imparted from a crank-pin h adjustable radially on a rotating disk g so as to move the work into contact with the rotary cutter f. The work carriage is mounted on slides c' formed on a carrier c, which reciprocates on slides b on the base a at rightangles to the slides c<1>. The crank-pin h engages a bearing block i carried in a box k formed with side arms k<1> reciprocable in guides l<1> formed on the carrier c. The motion of the box k caused by the crank-pin h engaging the bearing-block i communicates a to-and-fro motion to the carrier c, and consequently the work carriage d, and also imparts a step-by-step cross motion by means of a spring pawl n engaging a ratchet bar d<1> on the side of the work carriage. A detent o engaging the ratchet bar d<1> prevents backward motion of the work carriage. Fig. 4 shows means for causing a pause in the to-and-fro motion of the work-table so that the ratio of the to-and-fro movement to the cross-feed movement can be varied. The bearing block i is slidably mounted in the box k and is normally locked against movement in one direction by means of a pivoted latch p engaging a collar q fixed on a sleeve r, which is screwed on a rod s extending from the bearing- block. The pause is caused by an adjustable stop member mounted on the base a engaging a projection p<2> on the latch and releasing the bearing block i, which moves in the box k against the resistance of a spring s' during a portion of the revolution of the crank-pin. As the block returns, a collar q<1> on the sleeve r re engages with the box k, and the latch p is pressed into its locking position by a spring t. In a modified form of apparatus, the work carriage only receives a step-by-step cross motion from the crank-pin h, the rotary cutter being carried by a slide to which a to-and-fro motion is imparted by a tongue on the box k.

Title: Improvements in Appliances for Copying Perforated Strips used in Single Type Casting Machines.
Inventor: HUNT JAMES ERNEST
IPC: B41B25/00
Filed: 1911-03-02
Granted: 1912-03-04
Abstract: 5299. Hunt, J. E. March 2. Strip - perforating machines. - Relates to means for copying or duplicating perforated strips used for controlling single-type composing and casting machines. The apparatus consists of a copy tower A, Fig. II, and a punching- tower B mounted on a hollow base. The strip to be copied is fed from a spindle 2 over a cylinder 3, in the surface of which terminate thirty-one pipes, and is re-wound on a spindle 6. Compressed air is caused to pass through the holes in the strip and is led by the pipes to punch-actuating mechanism in the punching- tower B. The strip to be punched is fed from a spindle 1<a> under a punch cylinder 3<a> at exactly the same rate as the copy strip, and is re-wound on a spindle 6<a>. The copy strip is held down on the cylinders 3 by a reciprocating clamp 7, Fig. III, having on its face a leather pad in which a narrow channel is formed. Compressed air passes to the clamp through a pipe 12 sliding in a chamber 13, which is connected by a pipe 14 with an air-supply controlled by a valve 15. The clamp'7 is operated by a lever 8 and rod 18 from a cam 19 rotated by hand. The cam 19 also operates the valve 15 through a lever 16, whereby compressed air is admitted to the clamp when it is seated on the cylinder 3. The air passes from the clamp through the holes in the strip, and is led by pipes 21 to a series of pistons which operate levers connected with the punches. The strips are fed by wheels 4 having points which enter holes in the edges of the strips. The wheels 4 have on their shafts ratchet-wheels 39, 39<a>, Fig. II, each of which has two sets of oppositely-disposed teeth, one set being engaged by a feed-pawl and the other by a check-pawl. The feed-pawls 40, 40<a> are carried by levers 38, 38<a>, which are operated by rods 36, 36<a> from a rock - shaft 32. The check-pawls 41, 41<a> are moved into engagement with the ratchet-wheels by pins on the levers 38, 38<a>. Additional spring-pressed check-pawls 41b prevent backward rotation of the ratchetwheels. A second rock-shaft operates ratchetmechanism for re-winding the strips on the spindles 6, 6<a>. Both rock-shafts are operated by pistons to which air is admitted by valves operated by a universal bar resting on the punch-levers. An additional punch-lever, unprovided with a punch and operated from the valve 15, effects the feed of the strip when there are no perforations in the copy strip. Screws 51, 51<a> serve to adjust the brackets 52 which support the shafts of the feed-wheels 4 in order to bring the holes in the copy directly over the holes in the cylinder 3.

Granted: 1912-07-18
Abstract: 21,082. Birmingham Small Arms Co., and Phillips, H. M. Sept. 25. Variable-speed epicyclic gearing for motorcycles &c. The engine-driven pulley 3 and freewheel pedal-sprocket 4 are mounted on an extension of an internally-toothed ring 1 which gears with planet pinions 5 on a carrier 6 secured to the hub 7. The sun pinion 9 also gears with the planet pinions, and is slidably connected to a conical clutch member 19. When this cone is moved to the left by springs 24, it engages with an internally-coned member 25 fixed to the hub, and so locks the members of the gear together, giving a solid drive. For a reduced speed, the cone 19 is moved to the right and engages with a fixed cone 32, thus fixing the sun pinion 9 and bringing the gear train into operation. The fixed clutch member 32 forms a cap or cover for the side of the hub. The clutch member 25 is allowed a slight axial movement, so that when it is engaged by the cone 19, it moves to the left and bears against an abutment plate 26 fixed to the sleeve 10 that carries the cone and the clutch springs. During the solid drive, the thrust of the clutch springs is thus taken between the plate 26 and a plate 23 both of which are fixed on the sleeve 10, and there is no side thrust on the hub.
