Title: Improvements in High Speed Engines.
Inventor: WATSON HENRY BURNETT
IPC: F01B17/04
Filed: 1910-08-18
Granted: 1911-07-13
Abstract: 19,368. Watson, H. B., and Billetop, T. C. Aug. 18. Compound engines; radialcylinder engines.-Relates to two-crank two-cylinder highspeed compound engines cf the type in which the cylinders are inclined to each other at an acute angle, and is shown applied to a vertical high-speed enclosed forcedlubrication fan engine. The high-pressure cylinder H and the low-pressure cylinder L are arranged so that when seen in end view their axes form an acute V, and when seen in side view, they overlap. This arrangement permits the valves and valve casings Hv and Lv of both cylinders to lie at the same end of the engine, whereby easy accessibility is obtained. The steam and exhaust branches from each cylinder are brought to the tops of the distributing-valve casings, and their jointing faces are machined off on parallel planes or on the same plane A A. A single control-valve casing M is placed above the two distributing- valve casings, and is provided above with a single steam inlet S and a single exhaust outlet E, and below with two inlet and two outlet branches Hi, Li, Ho, Lo adapted to make joint with the two inlet and two outlet branches of the distributing-valve casings. The inlets and outlets of the control valve casing are controlled by five valves Hs, Ls, He, Le, P, which are adapted to connect for simple working, in either cylinder or in both, or for compound working. In modifications, the five valves are replaced either by three double valves or by two threeway cocks and a by-pass valve.

Abstract: 21,795. Krupp Akt.-Ges., F. Jan. 28, [Convention date]. Sights.-Relates to apparatus of the kind in which the axes about which the sight is crosslevelled to correct for the inclination of the wheels of the gun-carriage on uneven ground remains parallel with the gun's axis at all elevations. The invention consists in making the axis of the rotary gear which serves to elevate the sight coincide with the cross-levelling axis. The invention is shown in Fig. 2 applied to apparatus of the kind described in Specification 4735/05. The sight-bracket F attached to the gun-cradle B supports the attachment-box G for the arc H of the sight J by means of a bayonet-joint f<3>, g<3>, which also forms a bearing about which the box G may be moved transversely, for cross-levelling the sight, by means of a worm-gear K. The spiral worm m<1>, which engages with the arc H, is mounted in the bracket F co-axial with the bearing f<3>, g<3>, and is rotated by a train of gearing connected with the hand-wheel D, by means of which the gun is elevated for range without moving the sighting-line off the target. Specifications 6950/98 and 17,858/05 are referred to.

Granted: 1912-08-09
Abstract: 18,063. Weiser, J. Jan. 17, [Convention date]. Bulk evaporators.-In carrying out the coking or cracking process in the petroleum industry, stills provided with an internal furnace or inner flame tubes or with both of these means for heating in conjunction are employed, and the furnace is so arranged that it is caused to act during the first stages of the distillation process directly on the lowest parts of the still, and after the first distillates have been produced directly on the flame tubes of the stills. In the form of the invention shown in Fig. 1, two furnaces I, II are employed, the furnace I being arranged immediately beneath the still m, and the distillation process being started by causing the gases from the furnace I to flow directly over the bottom of the still and subsequently through the flues 1, 2, 3, 4. The furnace II is started at or after the commencement of the distillation process, and the gases flow directly through the flame tubes n and thence through the flue o, over the bottom of the still, and subsequently through the flues 1, 2, 3, 4. Figs. 6 and 7 show a modification in which one furnace only is employed. At the beginning of the process, the damper v is placed in the position shown, the gases from the fire-box III passing beneath the still and through the flame-tubes n and through passages 5 controlled by dampers w to the flues surrounding the still walls. Subsequently the damper v is lowered and the furnace gases flow directly through the flametubes n and thence over the bottom of the still and finally to the flues surrounding the still walls. The bottom of the still, its walls and the flame-tubes, may be partly or wholly doublewalled, as shown in Fig. 9, the space between the double walls being filled with heat-transmitting medium, as described in Specification 14,251/09.

Filed: 1912-01-09
Granted: 1913-02-10
Abstract: 704. Dawson, Sir A. T., and Horne, J. Jan. 9. Loading-appliances. - Relates to ammunition hoists of the kind wherein the projectile and powder cages of the lower hoist travel on separate rails in the trunk from the magazines to the working- chamber below the gun, and there discharge their contents into intermediate receivers from which the gunloading cage is charged. According to the invention, the powder and projectile cages of the lower hoist travel on separate rails which are relatively curved or inclined so that, when the cages reach the working-chamber, the powder cage is nearer the axis of the trunk than the projectile cage, and discharges outwards into the powder-charge trays of the receiver. The gun-loading cage may be of either of the kinds described in Specifications 25,257 / 11 a n d 29,069/12. In the construction shown in Fig. 3, the powder cage D<1> and the projectile cage E<1> travel in separate compartments C<1>, C<2> in the trunk C. The guide-rails c<2> for the cage E are curved outwardly, and the projectile tray e<1> is automatically tilted, when it reaches the working-chamber A, by a cam-rail e<Î> which guides a roller on an arm e'X on the tray. When the cages travel in one compartment, the two sets of rails are straight, but the powder-cage rails are inclined inwardly. The relative lateral movement thus produced between the cages is utilized to operate a device for interlocking the cages during their ascent and descent.
