Title: Improvements in Motors for Operating Reciprocating Conveyors.
Inventor: EICKHOFF ALFRED
Filed: 1912-08-28
Granted: 1913-02-20
Abstract: 19,696. Eickhoff, A. Aug. 28. Cam gears.-A motor for actuating reciprocating-trough conveyers in which the return stroke of the trough is effected by gravity comprises a cylinder 5 having a piston 12, upon the rod 2 of which cams 1, 1<1> are mounted. The cams actuate a frame 4 connected by a rocking lever 6 to the rod 8 of the slide valve 9. The cams are arranged so that pressure supply is cut off during the out-stroke, the remaining portion of the stroke being effected by expansion. During the return stroke, the cylinder is open to exhaust until the valve is closed, the residual fluid acting as a cushion until the pressure supply is admitted just before the end of the return stroke. The piston-rod is slotted at 19 to receive a lever 13 pivoted to a fixed point and to the reciprocating trough. In a modification, one of the cams 21 can be adjusted longitudinally by a screw 22 in order to vary the length of the stroke. The piston-rod is connected to a cross-head 26, which is connected to a second cross-head 29 on the other side of the cylinder by rods 27. Projections 32 on the rods 27 engaging springs fixed to the framework of the cylinder cushion the cross-head 29. The actuating-lever 13 is pivoted to the cross-head 29 and to the conveying-trough, the other end sliding in a fixed pivot.

Title: A Method and Means for Transmitting the Fluctuations of a Liquid Level to Measuring, Controlling or like Apparatus.
Inventor: GAGG ANTON
IPC: F03B15/14
Filed: 1913-04-14
Granted: 1913-10-30
Abstract: 8798. Gagg, A. April 27, 1912, [Convention date]. Levels, regulating; indicating variations of level by head in an auxiliary vessel. - The fluctuations of liquid level in a tank are transmitted to a measuring-apparatus by causing the liquid to flow freely and without pressure from the tank through an opening ar ranged close to the liquid level into an auxiliary vessel provided with an outlet, the head in the auxiliary vessel being a measure on an enlarged or reduced scale, or on the same scale as the head in the tank. The pressure of the head in the auxiliary vessel may be utilized to drive motors which control devices for maintaining the level in the tank constant or which actuate devices for starting and stopping engines, pumps, turbines, accumulator installations, &c. Fig. 1 shows a device for indicating the fluctuations of level in the tank 1 on an enlarged scale. A stand-pipe 2 with a perforation 5 is arranged in the tank and is fitted at the lower end with a glass tube 3, which has an adjustable outlet valve 4. The liquid flows from the tank into the tube 3 through the perforation 5, the quantity passing in unit time depending on the level above the perforation 5. As the level falls from h<1> towards h<0>, the head in the tube 3 falls from H' towards H‹. By providing a number of perforations above the perforation 5, the ratio between the heads in the tank and the tube may be made approximately linear. Fig. 4 shows an arrangement in which the fluctuations are indicated on a reduced scale, the auxiliary vessel 16 being flared in the horizontal direction as shown. Fig. 2 shows an arrangement in which the fluctuations in the tank 1 are transmitted to a motor 6, which operates a shaft 9 for controlling the admission members of a water turbine or the engine of a pump. The stand-pipe 2, which is provided with an inclined slot instead of perforations, is connected at the lower end directly to one end of the cylinder of the motor and also indirectly to the opposite end of the cylinder through a Venturi tube 11. The piston 7 is thus acted on on one side by the head pressure H<Î> and on the opposite side by the partial vacuum caused by the Venturi tube and also by a spring 13. Any variation in the level in the tank 1 creates a corresponding variation in the head H<Î>, and the piston 7 is thus moved to the left or right to operate the shaft 9. In a modification suitable for regulating pumps, the apparatus is constructed for a higher working pressure than corresponds to the static water column. The tank 1 is then closed and supplied with compressed air, the Venturi tube being arranged to discharge into a vessel in which there is an air pressure corresponding to the pressure in the tank 1.
