Title: Improvements in Steam Turbines.
Inventor: BAUMANN KARL
IPC: F01D25/30
Filed: 1914-02-03
Granted: 1914-12-24
Abstract: 2848. Baumann, K. Feb. 3. Casings; exhaust, disposing of.-Turbines, in which the direction of flow of the steam changes in passing from the last row of blades to the exhaust pipe, have partitions or baffles arranged in the casing to form separate passages for the steam issuing from different parts of the blading. Eddying is thus reduced, and a more uniform passage of the steam in this part of the casing ensured. The strengthening of the casing obtained by the partitions enables the bearing to be carried thereby. Figs. 1, 2, and 5, show the exhaust part of the casing of a horizontal turbine divided into four passages, there being two upper and two lower openings adjacent the blading. The upper part 1 of the casing, secured by the flange 3 to the flange 4 of the lower part 2, is divided into two cheeks 5, between which the upper part of the bearing casing 13 is disposed. The cheeks 5 meet in a vertical edge 6 extending downwards to the semicircular lower inner edge 7 of the cheeks. The lower part 2 of the casing comprises inclined surfaces 9, 10, between which the lower part of the bearing casing is supported by the web 12. The surfaces 9, 10 converge downwardly from the flange 4 to meet the web 11, which completes the division of the casing at this part. Towards the blading, these surfaces 9, 10 merge into the curved surface 8 at their upper part, and below they terminate at the diaphragm 14, which extends completely across the casing. The surface 8 terminates in a semicircular edge continuous with the edge 7 of the upper cheeks. The diaphragm 14 at its central part unites with the surface 8, and at the sides is continued upwardly and bent inwardly so as to terminate in straight edges 17, 18. Division of the lower part of the casing in the longitudinal median plane is completed by the web 21 continuous with the web 11. In a modification, the surface 8 is continued in a cylindrical form to the end wall of the casing, there being no inclined surfaces 9, 10, and the cheeks 5 are united by a curve in the usual manner instead of meeting in an edge 6 as shown. The diaphragm 14 is retained and divides the casing into two passages.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Electrical Switches for Automobiles and other purposes.
Inventor: DEAN WILLIAM WARREN
IPC: H01H13/14
Filed: 1914-02-12
Granted: 1915-02-11
Abstract: 3706. Dean, W. W. Feb. 18, 1913, [Convention date]. Press-button switches.-An electric switch of the presser type has one contact-member arranged in such a way that, when pressure is applied, it will rock in any direction or move axially inwards, according to the point at which the pressure is applied, and thereby move into engagement with the other contact-member to close the circuit. In a construction adapted for use upon the steering-wheel of an automobile to control an electric horn, the fixed contact of the switch is in the form of a flanged ring 13, Fig. 3, mounted upon insulation within a casing 10, a clasp 29, Fig. 2, serving to secure the casing to one of the spiders of the steering- wheel. The movable contact is in the form of a disk 19 loosely mounted upon a contact post 17 and normally pressed upwards against a head 18 on the post by a coiled spring 20. The post 17 is secured to a conducting-disk 15 within the casing, and the terminals of the switch are located upon the ring 13 and upon an extension of the disk 15. A presser member or cap 21 is secured to the contact-disk 19, and the edges of the cap overlie the casing to prevent the entry of water &c. The disk 19 rocks upon the post or moves downwards bodily, according to the direction of the pressure applied to the cap, and engages the ring 13 at any or all points to complete the circuit.

Abstract: 8472. Soc. Gen. Franþaise des Caisses Payeuses et de Contr¶le SystÞme Janik. April 3, 1913, [Convention date]. Cash registers with money-manipulating apparatus and operating-means; interlocking.-Relates to interlocking-mechanism between two keyboards of a cash register and the main operating-mechanism, whereby hoth banks must be manipulated in a prescrihed order before the machine can be operated. In the example given, the mechanism is applied to a cash register combined with change-giving mechanism in order that depression first of a purchaseprice key and next of an amount-tendered key should precede the operation. Depression of a purchase-price key raises the corresponding locking-sector 3, a projection a of which rocks a spring-held arm b, yoke e, and locking-arm c co-operating with the locking-sector 4 of the amount-tendered keyboard, these parts being mounted for free rotation upon a spindle 9. As a result of this movement, a pin f upon the locking-arm c comes into contact with a pin g upon the spindle, and when an amount-tendered key is depressed, the locking-arm is forced downwards so as to rock the spindle and raise a main-operator locking-arm 15 from a notch on the locking-disk 16, whereby the operating- handle is freed for rotation. Spring catches h hold the locking-sectors in displaced position, and are released at the proper point in the cycle of operation through the agency of parts i, k moved by the main operator, which also effects a positive restoration of the locking-pawl 15 by means of a cam-groove 19, and therewith a disengagement of arms 12, 13 that assist in holding the key locking-sectors in raised position. The unlocking &c, actions are effected equally by a key in any bank of the keyboards in question, and mechanical equivalents for the yoke c may be employed. Specifications 8021/05 and 16,938/11 are referred to.

Abstract: 7997. Claude. G. July 11, 1914, [Convention date]. Void. [Published under Section 91 of the Act.] Vacuum tubes.-A tube for use as a lightning- arrester, a detector for wireless telegraphy, or an indicator for motor ignition circuits contains neon at a pressure of more than 15 mm. of mercury, and electrodes B at a small distance apart, say 2 mm. Such a tube can carry large currents without alteration of its characteristics, and its terminal pressure only increases to a negligible extent with increase of current. With copper electrodes in the form of pointed cylinders, 5 mm. in diameter and 2 mm. apart, and with a gas pressure of 50 mm. mercury, the tube will start at 200-250 volts alternating. By providing the tube with a conducting-coating, for instance, of tin-foil or silver-plating, and charging at 100 mm. mercury, the starting- pressure can be reduced to 150-200 volts. This arrangement is particularly suitable for use as a lightning-arrester. For detecting electric oscillations, an uncoated tube is placed in the circuit of the aÙrial in series with a source of electric pressure nearly sufficient to start it.
