Title: Improvements in or connected with Gas Turbines.
Inventor: BLAKE LIONEL JAMES BAKER
Filed: 1912-07-01
Granted: 1913-02-13
Abstract: 15,379. Blake, L. J. B. July 1. [Addition to 11,289/11.] Working-fluid supply. -Relates to improvements in combustionproduct turbines of the kind described in the parent Specification, and consists in mixing the combustible and the air after compression and causing spontaneous combustion and substituting air for hydraulic pressure behind the pistons in the explosion chambers. Explosion chambers 5, 6, 7 and air - compressing cylinders 2, 3, 4 contain pistons connected in pairs by rods 22, 23, 24. Each of the air - compressing cylinders communicates with the adjacent explosion chamber of the next pair by way of a check-valve 14. Oil is supplied under pressure from a reservoir 38 by way of pipes 41, 42, 43 through valves 17, 18, 19 to the explosion chambers. A constant pressure is maintained at the back of the pistons in the explosion chambers by compressed air conveyed from a reservoir 34 by way of pipes 31, 32, 33. Atmospheric air is admitted to the cylinders 2, 3, 4 by check-valves 8, 9, 10. The flow of combustion products from the explosion chambers to the turbine is controlled by valves, which, together with the oil-admission valves, are operated by the reciprocating rods 22, 23, 24 through suitable tappet gearing. A pipe 51 enables an initial charge of compressed air to be admitted to the cylinder 6 for starting the turbine. The pairs of compression and explosion cylinders with the attendant details are operated in succession in the same manner as described in the parent Specification.

Patent GB-191216520-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Duplicating Machines.
Inventor: HAINSON NATHANIEL WALDO
IPC: B41L21/06
Filed: 1912-07-15
Granted: 1913-07-10
Abstract: 16,520. Hainson, N. W. July 15. Delivery apparatus; sheet-registering devices. -A duplicating-machine of the kind in which a travelling cylinder moves over a type bed covered by an inking ribbon is constructed with a swing- ing delivery mechanism which is actuated by the movement of the carriage in which the impression cylinder is mounted, and acts to deliver the sheets printed side uppermost to the side of the machine at the end of each movement of the carriage. As shown, the carriage 4 in which the impression roll 7 is mounted moves on rollers 5 arranged above and below a track 3. Mounted at the side of the printing-surface is a pair of pivoted arms 10 mounted on a shaft 9, the arms being formed with a registering bar 29 against which the sheets are laid when upper spring-controlled gripping-members 21 are opened in a manner to be described at the extreme ends of the movements of the carriage in either direction. After these grippers close on the sheets, the cylinder 7 is moved over the sheet to effect the printing and then the arms 10 are swung about their shaft 9 against the action of coiled springs 18 by the engagement of a pivoted dog 13 on the carriage with a helical cam-groove 17 on the shaft 9. The shaft is thus rotated to swing the arms 10 and the sheets are delivered printed side up, being released from their grippers when the upper members engage adjustable pins 30 attached to spring- pressed plugs 33. After the dog 13 passes the groove 17, the springs 18 return the arms 10 to normal position, and the upper grippers are then opened to receive a sheet by the action of an arm 25 on a shaft 26, which is rotated to a slight extent by the engagement of a dog 28 on the carriage with an arm 27 on the shaft 26. On the return of the carriage the dog 13 engages a groove 19 also formed in this member, this groove being so shaped that the dog can move freely on its pivot without rotating the shaft 9. Thus the dog 13 does not rotate the shaft 9 until another sheet has been printed, whereupon it engages a second cam-groove 17 provided in a member at the other end of the shaft 9 and the delivery action is repeated. As an alternative, the gripper shaft may carry dogs and the operative cam-surface be mounted on the frame.

Title: Improvements relating to Means for Launching Ships' Boats and to Gangways.
Inventor: WALKER ALEXANDER
IPC: B63B23/04
Filed: 1912-10-05
Granted: 1913-10-02
Abstract: 22,674. Walker, A, Oct. 5. Boat-launching apparatus. - A launching-beam 1, universally jointed to the ship's side at 3, is automatically maintained at a regular height above the water irrespective of the rolling of the vessel. The beam is controlled by means of a cable passed around pulleys 5,18 on the launching- beam and a derrick 1<a> and then around the pulleys 15, 16 of an hydraulic cylinder 12 and ram 11. A bellcrank lever 6 on the end of the beam 1 has one arm supporting a weight 8 while the other arm is connected up to the valve 13, 14 controlling the hydraulic ram, so that, should the roll of the vessel tend to carry the beam away from the water, the weight 8 causes the valve to open. The return roll causes a slackening of the cord 9 and allows a weight 19 on the valve to open the same to admit pressure-fluid, thus keeping the beam at a constant height above the water. The boats are supported from trollies 21 running on the beam and on an inboard extension of the same. Automatic disengaging-gear comprises hooks 24 connected by a bar 25 weighted at 26. This weight falls over to release the boat when waterborne. The rope 27 controlling the carrier is wound around a drum controlled by a weight, so that the carrier is automatically returned when the boat is released. The invention may be applied to the construction of landing-gangways.
