Title: Improved Construction of Mechanism for Opening and Closing Doors and the like.
Inventor: CAREY ROBERT FALKLAND
IPC: E05F13/04
Filed: 1909-09-03
Granted: 1910-09-01
Abstract: 20,238. Carey, R. F. Sept. 3. Operating swinging doors.-In apparatus of the kind in which the opening of the door is effected by the depression of a treadle placed in front of the door, the parts are so constructed and arranged that the leverage acting to open the door, and consequently the speed of the door, is great at first, but gradually decreases as the door is fully opened. The treadle 1, Figs. 1 and 3, extends for about half its length beneath the floor 3, and is hinged to side supports 5. A chain 8, secured at one end to the hinge post 7, passes round pulleys 9 on the treadle, and a pulley 11 on the top of the door frame, and is connected at its other end to a bracket 12 on the door. A second chain 14, connected to a bracket 13, Fig. 4, on either side of the door passes over a pulley 15, and is connected to a counterweight 16 which forms the piston of an aircheck cylinder 17 provided with an air-regulating valve. The weight of a person stepping upon the treadle acts at about the centre of the treadle so that a large initial leverage is obtained. The leverage of the chain and also the speed of the door decreases as the door is fully opened. The speed is also checked by the rising of the counterweight 16 compressing the air in the check cylinder 17. The closing movement of the door is slow owing to the partial vacuum in the check cylinder 17, and owing to the weight of the treadle acting through a gradually increasing leverage as the door closes. In the modification shown in Fig. 6, the treadle is formed in two parts 1, 4, hinged together and connected by lazy-tongs 22. Instead of facing the door as shown, the treadle may be sideways or at an angle to the door. According to the Provisional Specification, the chain 8 is connected to a rod, which is arranged along the top of the door frame, and connected by a chain to the counterweight. The bracket on the door is connected by a pivoted branch rod to a sleeve adjustable upon the rod on the chain. The latter rod may be omitted, and the sleeve secured to the chain.

Title: Improvements relating to Uni-directional Flow Steam Engines.
Inventor: STUMPF JOHANN
IPC: F01K7/02
Filed: 1910-01-26
Granted: 1910-08-18
Abstract: 2021. Stumpf, J. Jan. 27, 1909, [Convention date]. Plant.-The exhaust steam from the piston-controlled exhaust ports of a unidirectional flow steam engine is to drive a lowpressure turbine. The conduits or pipes leading from the exhaust ports to the turbine may be shaped at their ends to form the turbine nozzles; or the steam may be led from the engine into a receiver, and from there into the turbine. Several parallel rows of such exhaust ports may be formed in the cylinder wall of the engine, the outer row or rows being connected to the turbine, and the inner row or rows to a condenser. Steam is admitted to the cylinder a of the engine through the usual valves at each end, and is exhausted through ports c in the cylinder wall located about the centre of the cylinder. The steam then passes through pipes e to the turbine d, the ends of the pipes forming nozzles. When the steam from the engine is exhausted into a receiver and then passes into the turbine, the receiver may be conveniently arranged as a belt around the cylinder. The exhaust steam from the engine may be mixed with steam at the pressure of the condenser, and the mixture then. passes into the turbine. When an intermediate receiver is employed, only one nozzle is used. In a modification, in which several parallel rows of ports are used in the cylinder wall, other ports or rows of ports may also be provided for driving turbines, or for cylinder-heating purposes, or for any other purposes, such as auxiliary feed-heating. In such cases, non- return valves are employed in the passages leading from these ports, to prevent steam below a certain pressure from passing through.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Marine Propulsion.
Inventor: PARSONS CHARLES ALGERNON
IPC: F16D3/00
Filed: 1910-07-18
Granted: 1911-07-18
Abstract: 17.068. Parsons, C. A., and Cook, S. S. July 18. Plant.-In marine turbine installations in which main and cruising turbines are employed, the additional thrust produced by the cruising- turbines is so absorbed as not to influence the main turbines. For this purpose, between the main turbines u, Fig. 5, and the cruising turbine t is placed a flexible coupling v producing an end thrust on the shafts a, b balancing the additional end thrust due to the propeller when the turbine t is brought into use. Several forms of coupling are described. As shown in Figs. 4 and 5, the coupling parts carry inclined teeth, one face of which may be parallel to the shaft axis, as shown in Fig. 3, so that the main turbines, when used alone, cause no end thrust on the cruising-turbine. The engaging teeth may be formed radially on the coupling-parts. The coupling may comprise inclined links in tension or compression connecting the two parts, relative motion being limited by bolts on one part engaging slots on the other part. The cruising-turbine can be adjusted axially without disturbing the main turbine. The thrust in the turbine t may be absorbed by a separate thrust bearing or in the body of the turbine itself; or the turbine t may be geared, Fig. 7, to the shaft s, on which is a thrust-absorbing device z.
