Granted: 1911-07-13
Abstract: 24,709. Pratt, C. R. Oct. 24. Steam pumps; revolving-cylinder pumps.-A revolving-cylinder pump of the axial type is operated by a revolving-cylinder fluid-pressure motor mounted upon the same shaft, the pistons of the motor and pump elements being connected with an obliquely - arranged revolvable disk which operates so as to cause the pump and motor cylinders to revolve when the pistons are reciprocated. Fig. 1 shows an arrangement in which the motor cylinders 12 are in alinement with the corresponding pump cylinders 13, so that practically a direct thrust is transmitted through the piston-rods 16, 17, which have cupshaped ends 45 bearing upon halls 47 carried by the revolvable disk 18. The barrels 10, 11, in which the cylinders are bored, are keyed upon the central shaft 7, and motion is transmitted to them from the disk 18 by gear teeth 24 meshing with teeth on a hub 26 fast upon the shaft 7. Fluid enters and leaves the cylinders through annular ports formed in the end plates 5, 6 respectively. The speed of the motor pistons can be made to exceed that of the pump pistons by arranging the motor cylinders at a greater radial distance from the centre of the shaft, and the stroke of the pumps may be varied during working by varying the angle of inclination of the disk 18.

Title: Improvements in Compensating for Torpedoes Discharged from Submarine Boats.
Inventor: SPEAR LAWRENCE YORK
IPC: B63G8/26
Filed: 1911-05-03
Granted: 1911-09-21
Abstract: 10,752. Spear, L. Y. June 27, 1910, [Convention date]. Submarine vessels. - Means are provided whereby the ordinary trimming - tanks are utilized to preserve the proper trim of submarine vessels when the trim is disturbed by the discharge of a torpedo, instead of special compensating tanks. The forward tank b may be put in communication with the sea through the valve d and is connected to a compressed-air reservoir by a pipe f. The bow torpedo-tube has a pipe n which may be put in communication with the tank b through the valve u. The forward and aft tanks are connected by a pipe p, through which water may be transferred from one to the other by means of a pump q. A pipe v connects this pipe p with the pipe n. An excess capacity is provided in the tank b equal to the terminal volume of the tube j plus the volume of the torpedo m<1> multiplied by the number of spare torpedoes. The excess capacity of the aft tank is equal to the volume of water, the weight of which equals the weight of the spare torpedoes multiplied by the distance moved during the loading operation and divided by the distance between the centres of gravity of the fore and aft tanks. After firing the torpedo m<1>, the bow cap is closed and compressed air is admitted to the tube j by the pipe v forcing the water into the tank b. Should the centre of gravity of the tank b not coincide with the tube j, compensation is effected by the pump q. If air-pressure is used to transfer the water, the valves u, z are closed and the valves s, x opened. The water passing aft is then regulated by the valve x. When a fresh torpedo is moved into the tube j water is again transferred from the forward tank b to the after tank. A central submergence tank 7 may also be utilized to assist in the trimming of the vessel by being connected to the pipe system above described.

Granted: 1911-10-26
Abstract: 10,810. Vaughan, G. E., [Hires Co., C. E.]. May 4. Dispensing liquids.-In an apparatus for delivering a mixture of carbonated water and syrup, the syrup-container is arranged away from the means for cooling the water so that the syrup is maintained in a proper consistency. The carbonated water flows through a coiled tube 11 in an ice receptacle 3, and through a pressure regulator 29 and an expansion chamber 29<a> to a valve casing 25, where it mixes with the syrup which is delivered from a container 37. The inlet end of the coil 11 passes through the base of the cooling-chamber and is provided with an externally screw-threaded sleeve 12, Fig. 4. The upper end of the sleeve is tapered, and the lower end is provided with a nut 19 by means of which the sleeve is made to engage a thimble 16 carried by the base. The chamber is fitted with an overflow pipe 30, which is removably mounted in a thimble 32 secured to the base of the cooling- chamber by a nut and washer 33. The expansion chamber 29<a> is enclosed in an arm 27, which is mounted on the cooling-chamber and carries the valve casing 25. In this casing are arranged valves 53, 60 controlling, respectively, the syrup and the carbonated-water supply. The syrup from the passage 49 flows through passages 50, 51 to a chamber 52 in which the valve 53 is located. When the valve 53 is depressed, the syrup flows through a passage 56 to the mixing and discharge pipe 55. The carbonated liquid from the pipe 29<a> flows through a passage 61 to a chamber 62 in which the valve 60 is located. When the valve 60 is depressed, the aerated liquid flows through a passage 63 to the mixing- pipe 55. The outlet from the syrup passage 56 is protected by a hood 57 so that the flow of carbonated liquid does not shut off the syrup supply. The valves 53, 60 are operated simultaneously by cams on a hub 58, which is rotated by a handle 26. The flow of syrup may be varied by means of an adjustable plug 64 in the passage 50. The syrup-container is filled in an inverted position and closed by a valve 42. When the container is attached to the feed device 38, a strainer 46 engages the stem of the valve 42 to lift the valve and allow the syrup to flow through the strainer 46 to the passage 49. The container 37 may be some distance from the dispensing- apparatus and may be connected thereto by a pipe. The drip from the draining-plate 73 passes into the pipe 30.
