Granted: 1913-04-10
Abstract: 10,230. Craig, A. B. April 30. Tyres, cooling by circulation; of fluid.-Air or other cooling fluid is circulated through the interior of a pneumatic tyre, or through a tube within the tyre, by a pump or fan carried by the wheel. In one arrangement, the inner tube 3 is connected to a coiled tube 6 mounted on or in a casing 9 secured to the hub, and the air in the tube and coil is circulated by means of a pump or fan 21 arranged within the casing. The fan may be driven by a gear wheel 30 on the axle 10 meshing with a wheel 29 on the fan shaft 23, or by any other form of gearing, or by an electric motor connected to a battery or dynamo driven by the engine of the vehicle. An arrangement for driving the fan by a motor is shown in Fig. 7, in which an arm 40 carried by a motor 20<a> adjacent to the fan casing 20 is fitted with a grooved wheel 40<a> running on a wheel 41 insulated from, but secured to, a sleeve 43 on the axle. Current is supplied to the wheel 41 and returns through the sleeve 43. A guard 42 is provided. In the modified arrangement shown in Fig. 6, a cooling-tube 33 of rubber, metal, &c. is located between the rim and a fold 34 of the inner tube and connected to the coil 6, and salt-water, alcohol, or other liquid is circulated through it and the coil by the pump 21. When the tube 33 is of metal, the coil may be omitted and the tube may be open to the atmosphere, the pump being connected directly by branch pipes with the tube. The outer cover and inner tube may be detached without removing the cooling-tube.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Separating Measured Quantities of Liquids from Bulk and Delivering them.
Inventor: CHAPALLAZ FRANCOIS
IPC: G01F11/44
Filed: 1912-12-12
Granted: 1913-10-16
Abstract: 28,662. Chapallaz, F. Dec. 12. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Fixed multiple-chamber apparatus with open chambers. - Two superposed measuring-vessels 1, 2 are provided with multipleway cocks 5, 6 and a two-way cock 3 which are interconnected in such a manner that the contents of the lower vessel, or of the two vessels, may be delivered at will. The cock 5 allows communication between the supply and vessel 1 or between the latter and the delivery nozzle 20, and the cock 6 permits escape of air from the vessel 2 through bores 16 and from the vessel 1 through bore 30 in cock 3 and the pipe 19 The cock 3 consists of a main portion 21 provided with the air passage 30 and a liquid duct 29, and a subsidiary part 22 in the form of a sleeve having a groove 26 and actuated by the main portion 21 through a pin and slot. When the main portion is turned, communication through ducts 29, 30 is closed before the air vent provided by the groove 26 is opened. The handles of the cocks 3, 5 are connected by a rod 12, and the cocks 5, 6 are connected by a rod 10. By turning the cock 5 through a right-angle, both vessels are filled, the air escaping through pipe 19 and ducts 18. To deliver from the lower vessel only, the handle of cock 3 is turned back again, thus turning all the cocks to the position shown in Figs. 2 and 3, so that the vessel 1 empties and air can enter through the groove 26. In order to discharge both vessels, the cock 3 is turned to permit communication between the two vessels and this movement of the cock does not affect the other cocks owing to a pin-and-slot connexion between the handle of cock 3 and the rod 12.

Filed: 1913-01-24
Granted: 1913-07-10
Abstract: 1961. Huillard, A. Jan. 24. Materials descending by gravity.-A drying- tower in which material falls from one to another of a series of perforated plates and is dried by an ascending current of air is shown in elevation and vertical development in Figs. 1 and 3. The top and bottom plates of the tower and each perforated plate are cut away to an equal angular extent. The tower is made in superposed rings, a perforated plate being secured between each pair. An axial shaft 5 carries vertical partitions 6 between the perforated plates, dividing the tiers into completely independent compartments. The angle between consecutive partitions is equal to that of the cut-away segments, and the tower is thus divided into a number of vertical channels, in each of which the resistance to the flow of gases is equal. Plates 8, 9 cover the inlet and outlet, rotary partitions preventing passage of air. Gases are introduced and withdrawn at apertures 10, 11 by a fan.

Ventilating-shaft terminals. - Inlet ventilators having two oppositely-disposed concave or dished baffles are provided with means for varying the direction in which the air is delivered. As shown in Fig. 1, the upper and larger baffle e is adjustable on the shaft b, being supported at different heights on a pin h by slots f, g in a sleeve d, or on a pin k by a slot j, or by any other means. Air deflected upwardly by the lower baffle a is deflected downwardly by the baffle e when it is in its lowest position. In the middle and highest positions of the baffle e, the air current is directed respectively horizontally and upwardly. The lower baffle a may also be adjustable. In the modification shown in Fig. 2, the baffles are fixed, and an adjustable annular intermediate baffle q is provided which, in its lowest position, rests on a casing 2 carried by the baffle a. The air is then directed downwardly. The baffle q is carried by a spider p on a spindle r which has a number of cross-bars s, and passes through a hole in the baffle a. This hole has slots extending radially from it. By turning and raising the spindle r, the bars s may be passed through the slots, lifting and afterwards supporting the baffie q so that the air may be directed horizontally or upwardly. In a further modification, Fig. 3, three fixed baffles a, e, q are provided, between which spaced ports v, w are provided in the shaft, the upper ones v being vertically out of alinement with the lower ones w. A rotatable sleeve x with two rows of spaced ports in vertical alinement is provided within the shaft so that the air may bo delivered downwardly from above the middle baffle, upwardly from below the middle baffle, or horizontally, by partial delivery both above and below the middle baffle.

Filed: 1914-01-09
Granted: 1914-04-30
Abstract: 617. Rayner, G. Jan. 9. Fluid-actuated gears.-The valve has three heads, of which the central head O controls the admission, and the end heads 0', O<2> control the exhaust. Auxiliary heads H, H<1> are formed on the heads O<1>, O<2> and slide in auxiliary cylinders Y which are held in position by screwed valve-chest covers C. Auxiliary passages X, Z are formed in the valve to connect the auxiliary cylinders with the annular recesses in the valve, and ports D, D' are provided at the ends of the valve chamber and communicate constantly with the inlet. The fluid pressure acting on the heads H, H' reduces the locking force on the valve and assists in its reversal. In the position of the valve shown, the valve is locked by fluid-pressure supplied through port D acting upon the annular surface of the head 0', which exceeds and acts against the pressure on the head H<1>. When the piston passes the port M, the cylinder fluid acts upon the annular surface of the head O<2> and reverses the valve. Port B is then put into communication with the exhaust port N, and the port B<1> is put into communication with the supply port C. Special auxiliary exhaust ports L, L<1> are provided to prevent an accumulation of leakage fluid in the chambers E, E' and so prevent chattering. These ports are open only during part of the valve travel and prevent any compression of air in the chambers E, E<1>. The valve cylinders Y are renewable and may be made reversible.
