Title: Improvements in or relating to Apparatus for Manufacturing Ceramic Tiles.
Inventor: WEILL ANDRE
IPC: B28B3/02
Filed: 1910-05-06
Granted: 1910-11-03
Abstract: 11,237. Weill, A. May 6, 1909, [Convention date]. Moulding-machines with fixed mould tables or moulds.-Relates to means for inverting the mould as it is moved towards or from the mould-table in apparatus for moulding vitreous ceramic facing- tiles in which the upper surface of the fluid mass forms the face of the tile. This is effected by means of a rack 18 on the machine frame and a toothed section 19 on the hinged mould 9. The fluid mass is placed on a die 21 surrounded by a frame 22 carried by a spring-supported moulding- table 10, and on operating a lever 8 the hinged mould 9 carrying a plate 24 for forming the face of the tile is turned over by the engagement of the section 19 and rack 18 and is forced down into contact with the frame 22. The frame 22 is thereby depressed, and, the die 21 remaining stationary, the fluid mass is forced into the mould 9 when the moulding is effected. The mould 9 is raised and on reaching the end of its stroke is again inverted by the engagement of the section 19 and rack 18.

Abstract: 21,188. Pittler, W. von. Sept. 10, 1909, [Convention date]. Fixed-abutment type; movable-abutment type. -The curves e, f, g, h of the cams guiding the axially-sliding vanes or abutments b of a rotary engine, pump, or the like are each made up of two symmetrical parts-a curve of uniform acceleration and a curve of uniform retardation determined by the equation s=pt<2>/2, where s is the rise of the curve from zero in the time t and p the acceleration of motion of the vane. The pressure due to the shifting of the vane is thus constant. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91(3)(a) comprises also a construction of guide-curve for vanes pressed outwards from one side only of the rotor. Inthis construction, the portions of the curve that do not take up any acceleration pressure are made comparatively steep, and the portions of the curve which are under acceleration pressure are made correspondingly flatter. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

IPC: F01B25/00
Filed: 1911-10-06
Granted: 1912-08-29
Abstract: 22,005. Eastwood, W. Oct. 6. Jet condensers; condenser systems. - A condensing-plant for a steam-engine cylinder 1, Fig. 1, having a central exhaust belt 3, comprises an inclined passage 12 to which injection water is admitted and which communicates with the exhaust belt 3 at its upper end and with a wet - air pump 4 at its lower end. The condensing-water may be admitted by a perforated or slotted pipe 13, by a conduit 15, Fig. 4, perforated or slotted at its upper end so as to direct jets of water on to shelves or trays 17 arranged in the passage 12, or by a conduit perforated and fitted with tubes so as to fill the upper portion of the passage 12 with spray. A valve 21, Fig. 4, may be arranged to admit an additional supply of water when starting the engine. Air is extracted from the injection water before it enters the condenser by leading it through a chamber in direct connexion with the air-pump. A spring-backed piston is arranged in the wall of the passage 15 to operate an alarm or a mechanism for stopping the engine if the vacuum falls too low. When the level of the water supply is too low for the water to be lifted by the vacuum alone, a centrifugal pump is arranged to lift the water either throughout the working of the engine or at the starting of the engine only. The plant is applicable to either a vertical engine or an horizontal engine, as shown in Fig. 1; in the latter case, an elbow 11 is arranged to connect the exhaust belt 3 with the passage 12. The air-pumps described in Specifications 12,843/95, 25,635/97, [both in Class 122, Steam engines], or 9986/07 may be employed.

Abstract: 27,476. Williams, C. D. Dec. 7. Spring wheels with sectional outer guided members.-The hollow wheel body D containing compressed air, is formed by disks and a spacing-ring E, Figs. 1 and 2, outside of which are cylinders B fitted with hollow pistons A. The inner part of the piston is reduced and guided through the ring E. An air-tight joint is made at the shoulder a<5> by a cup-ring a<6>, and the piston is held in place by a nut a<2> on the inner end. Access to the interior is obtained through apertures closed by plates F secured centrally by a bolt f. One plate is fitted with a valve G. In the form shown in Fig. 5, the cylinders B are fixed to the inside of a rim C connected to the hub by spokes or disks G. A stout flexible bag D is fitted inside the wheel and connected separately to each of the cylinders. Each piston is guided by a separate plate E<1>. To lubricate the piston, there may be a partition a<8> forming a chamber from which lubricant passes through an aperture a<7>. According to the Provisional Specification, the lubricant may be conveyed slowly by means of perforated tubes, which cross the chamber and contain wicks leading to the outside of the piston near the ring a<6>.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Hydraulic Lifts, Cranes and the like.
IPC: B66B9/04
Filed: 1911-12-29
Granted: 1912-12-19
Abstract: 29,275. Waygood & Co., R., and Carey, R. Dec. 29. Regulating delivery.-Relates to hydraulic machines in which a variable-delivery pump determines the flow of fluid from a reservoir to the power cylinder, and comprises an automatic control of the pump by mechanical means operated by the relatively varying pressures at different points of the system. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, a double-ended ram 1, 2 works in cylinders 3, 4 and is connected to the long arm of a weighted bell - crank lever 6 operating the sliding spindle 10 of the pump. The upper cylinder 3 is connected to the power cylinder, and the lower cylinder 4 to the pump delivery. When the pump pressure is sufficient to force the ram upwards against the pressure in the power cylinder, the delivery or flow from the pump is modified or stopped automatically as required. Where several machines are operated by a single pump, a corresponding number of the double-control cylinders are provided. The top cylinders are connected one to each machine, and the bottom cylinders to the delivery of the pump. In the centre of each ram a sheave or roller is arranged, and a pitch chain attached to a fixed point at one end, and to the end of the lever 6 at its other end, passes over these rollers and under fixed rollers between the rams. The length of the chain is such that only when all the plungers are fully raised is the pump delivery stopped. In the forms shown in Figs. 3 and 4, the lever 6 is operated by a cut-off cylinder 18 communicating with the valve apparatus shown in Fig. 6. A weighted plunger 21 has three pipe connexions to its cylinder at different levels. The lowest connexion 23 leads to the pump delivery, the second 24 to the cut-off cylinder 18, and the third 25 to the exhaust. A groove 26 is formed in the plunger so that, in the lowest position of the plunger, the cylinder 18 is connected to the exhaust as shown. In this position, the arm 6 of the bell-crank lever falls and causes the pump to work. When the pressure produced by the pump reaches the desired intensity, the plunger 21 is raised until fluid is allowed to pass by the connexions 24 into the cut-off cylinder. If the pressure rises still further from any cause, the plunger passes the connexion 25, and the device acts as a relief valve. If the pressure falls, the plunger falls and the cylinder 18 is again put to exhaust.
