Title: An Improved Brake.
IPC: F01B25/00
Filed: 1910-01-25
Granted: 1911-04-25
Abstract: 1860. Gyrostatic Turbines, Ltd., and Holroyd, T. H. Jan. 25. Regulating.-A brake for use in connexion with highspeed engines, such as fluidpressure turbines, comprises a number of blocks which are constructed so as to produce a light rolling friction in the first stages of the application of the brakes and afterwards to bring a rigid braking-surface into action. The blocks may be connected to a band, which is contracted to apply the brake. Figs. 2 and 3 show the application to a turbine, the blade-wheel a of which is formed with a brake rim a<1>, while the casing b is provided with a number of radial openings which are covered by brake boxes c. The brake blocks d are contained within the boxes c, and are formed on their inner sides with recesses d<1> in which are arranged to slide blocks d' fitted with rollers d<3> and pressed outwards by a spring, not shown. The blocks d are further provided with extensions which project through the boxes c and may be attached to a twisted band f, which is secured at one end g and provided at the other end with an operating-lever h. The rollers d<3> first bear upon the rim a<1>, and the blocks d come into action afterwards. The band may be actuated by the exhaust energy of the motor to which it is applied. The brake rim a<1> may be provided with openings for the circulation of cooling-water. The end of the brake band f that is connected to the operating-lever h may be formed with a series of holes f<1> to allow compensation for wear.

Granted: 1911-02-16
Abstract: 4910. Marconi's Wireless Telegraph Co., and Franklin, C. S. Feb. 26. Wireless telegraphy. -In a receiving-system for wireless telegraphy, atmospheric disturbances are prevented from influencing the receiver by the use of an oscillation system having two natural frequencies, one of which is the frequency of the signals to be received, connected to two receiving-circuits R<1>, R<2>, which are tuned to these frequencies and are arranged so as to have opposite effects upon the final indicator, for example as described in Specification 4125/09. A closed oscillation-circuit S C is coupled to the antenna circuit and tuned to its frequency so as to give the antenna circuit two natural frequencies of vibration. Aperiodic impulses produce equal effects in the two circuits R<1>, R<2>, whereas the slightly damped signal waves affect one circuit much more strongly than the other.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Machines for Cleaning Intestines.
Inventor: BILLMAN GUSTUS SWITHIN
IPC: A22C17/16
Filed: 1911-04-18
Granted: 1911-06-01
Abstract: 9423. Billman, G. S. April 18. Intestines, cleaning.-Comprises a machine for cleaning intestines, in which the intestine is wound by degrees on an intermittently rotating reel and is scraped by a reciprocating knife. Figs. 1 and 3 show the machine in elevation and plan respectively. The reel 19 is intermittently rotated by gearing from a shaft 85, which also reciprocates a carriage 31 on which the knife 58 is mounted. The knife, shown in Fig. 6, comprises a pair of blades pivoted on a plate 50 carried by a bell-crank lever 35 which is pivoted on the carriage at 36 and has a lower arm 38 working in a double groove (not shown). When the carriage 31 moves to the right, the arm 38 gives the lever 35 the position shown in Fig. 1, and the knife blades are open. On the backward stroke of the carriage, the arm 38 drops into a lower groove and the lever 35 becomes vertical, causing the knife to drop, and the blades are then closed as shown in Fig. 3 by means of rods 60 and a bell-crank lever 62, the lower end of which is guided at 66 in an horizontal plane. Thus the knife passes over the intestine on its forward stroke and scrapes it on the return. The intestine is held flat for the knife to operate upon, and is prevented from backward movement by spring - pressed hinged semicircular plates 86 through which it passes on its way to the reel. The plates are carried by a slit ring 74, which is rotated through 180 degrees on each forward stroke of the knife when the blades are open by means of a cam shaft 80 and rods 79. Water is supplied to the knife by a pipe 92. Lugs 93 are formed on the knife blades to prevent the intestine from slipping out during the scraping.
