Patent GB-191302685-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Superheaters.
Inventor: STENNING HARRY ALEXANDER
IPC: F22G7/06
Filed: 1913-02-01
Granted: 1914-02-02
Abstract: 2685. Stenning, H. A. Feb. 1. Cooling superheating-tubes.-The overheating of the superheater tubes of locomotives &c. is prevented, when the steam supply to the cylinders is shut off, by passing an auxiliary supply of steam, which is independent of the regulator or other valve controlling the main supply, through the superheater, and then utilizing the steam or allowing it to escape to the atmosphere; the arrangement is such that the auxiliary supply of steam may be passed through the superheater without necessarily involving the use of the blower, as is described in Specification 19,608/12. Fig. 1 shows the arrangement as applied to a superheater having a header a, which is divided into chambers for saturated and superheated steam arranged alternately, as described in Specification 17,990/11. The auxiliary supply of steam is led to the saturated steam-space of the header through a pipe h and control valve i. After passing through the superheater, the steam may escape through a valve j, which opens automatically when the main steam supply is shut off, or may be utilized for the blast, heating the water from the tender, or in any other useful manner. A reducing-valve may be fitted on the pipe h. Specifications 9727/12 and 13,953/12 arc referred to, in which the auxiliary supply of steam is dependent on the regulator or other valve controlling the main supply. Specification 24,561/12 is also referred to.

Title: An Improved Pump.
Inventor: CONSTANTINESCO GOGU
IPC: F04B43/00
Filed: 1913-02-10
Granted: 1913-10-09
Abstract: 3408. Constantinesco, G. Feb. 10. Diaphragm pumps; actuating by pulsating fluid pressure.-A diaphragm pump more particularly for pumping petrol &c., but applicable also for pumping gases, is provided with an elastic metal disk or diaphragm clamped between two lensshaped plates of such a form that, whatever pressure may be applied on the actuating - side of the diaphragm, the stress thereon shall at no point exceed the elastic limit of the metal. In the pump shown in Fig. 1, the actuating-side of the metal diaphragm e is placed in communication with the cylinder of an internal-combustion engine or steamengine by means of the passage i, the return strokes of the diaphragm being produced by the elasticity of the metal. The plates c, d, forming the diaphragm chamber, are shaped to conform to the natural curve of the metal disk when under a pressure below that at which it would take a permanent set, so that however much this pressure may be exceeded on the actuating side, no damage will be done to the diaphragm.

Abstract: 16,189. Mylchreest, T. G. July 14. Stop-motions; stop-apparatus, non-automatic.-In a stop-motion for doubling and twisting frames, of the kind in which the fall of the detector, by means of a wiper, throws out of action a driving- band by withdrawing the tension pulley and gripping the band, brakes the wharl and stops the feed of the thread by lifting off one of the feeding- rollers, the detector consists of a tumbler c pivoted on a counterweighted lever e which acts as a retaining-catch for the feeding-roller cradle f. When the lever e releases the cradle, this rocks and lifts the feeding-roller h off the roller i. A pendent rod n carried by the cradle also brings into action a brake m and releases a tension pulley p, causing a transverse bar s to grip and stop the band q. A push-rod r is provided for moving the detector by hand to stop the spindle.

Granted: 1914-03-05
Abstract: 19,788. Delahaye, R. G. F. Sept. 11, 1912, [Convention date]. Inking-apparatus; intaglio-plate printing.- Inking and wiping apparatus for a plate printing-machine comprises ink-applying rollers i<3> and fountain i, and wipers p mounted on radial arms a, a<1>, a<2>, a<3>, projecting from a vertically rotatable sleeve mounted slidably on a shaft c at the side of the bed f<3> for the engraved plate. By giving the shaft c one rotation bv a handwheel g, the plate is inked and wiped. A pawl t, fixed on the framework at s, operates the ink-fountain and wiping-cloths through ratchetwheels r as they pass it. The fountain i is mounted in slides pressed upwards by springs l and adjusted against the roller i<1> by screws m. The wiping-cloths each pass from a roll o<1> around a roller o<2> to a winding-roll o, all mounted in vertical slides adjusted by screws m<2>. The whole apparatus is also mounted yieldingly, and vertically adjustable, on the shaft c.

Patent GB-191321479-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Diving Apparatus.
IPC: B63C11/08
Filed: 1913-09-23
Granted: 1915-06-17
Abstract: 21,479. Drõger, A. B., and Drõgerwerk H. & B. Drõger. Sept. 23. Divers' dress; divers, air supply for.-The volume of air within a diving dress is maintained practically constant by means of a yielding part either of the diving dress itself or other part of the apparatus, which, moving under the difference of pressure between the air in the dress and of the water outside, operates valves either to admit compressed air from a cylinder or to open a vent to relieve the pressure. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the movement of part of the dress itself, against which the spring-pressed plate a bears, is used to actuate the valves. If the volume of air falls, the plate a moves inwards to actuate the valve c, admitting compressed air from the reservoir h; if the air expands, the valve d is operated, thus opening a vent. Fig. 3 shows a form in which a diaphragm a<1>, open to air in the dress on the one side, and to the water on the other, actuates the air valve e<2> or escape vent d<2>. Fig. 4 shows a form in which the expansion and contraction of a belt o actuates the air valve e<3> or escape valve d<3>. In the form shown in Fig. 5, the yielding part a<3> is formed like bellows, which, on an increase of pressure, collapse to open the air valve c<4> and, on a reduction of pressure, open further against the action of the spring l<2> to open the escape vent d<4>. In the form shown in Fig. 9, the movable surface is provided by the surface of liquid in a chamber b<1>, which may be open like a diving-bell or be provided with a depending tube i<1>, the air valve e<5> and escape vent d<5> being operated by floats s, s<3> respectively. In the form shown in Fig. 11, the yielding part comprises an expansible bag b<2> connected through a hollow lever e' to the interior of the dress. The expansion or contraction of the bag alters its buoyancy so that it rises or falls under differences of pressure, thus operating the valve e<6> and either connecting the air pipe f to the air supply f or the passage a<4> to the vent d<4>. A similar form may be employed, in which the bag is mounted in a chamber connected to the interior of the diving dress, the interior of the bag being in communication with the outside water, and the movement being effected by gravity against the action of a spring.

Abstract: 9486. Sharpe, F. H., and British & Colonial Lead Co. June 29. [Addition to 17,579/14.] Chambers with baffles and obstructions; jet apparatus.-For carbonating lead oxide in the production of white lead, the materials are placed in a container a with conical lower part a', the bottom k being, if desired, domed, or conical as shown. The gas is admitted by more or less tangential jets e near the bottom, passing from a main pipe n through a cock n<1>, pipe m, non-return valve m<1>, and cock l to the jet. Any one jet may be put out of action without affecting the others, the pipe m being disconnected for inspection or cleaning and the jet itself being cleared by a plunger o, which may be housed in an extension m<2>. To prevent the circulation of the liquid from being too regular, one or more circular and preferably downwardly inclined baffles r may be provided in the upper part of the vat, to trap some of the ascending gas and cause it to pass through a gap s and thence under plates t to the central part of the liquid. Only one jet may be used, in which case the bottom of the vat may be carried more nearly to a point, and the area of the jet may be greater than the area of the bottom of the vat.
