Title: Improvements relating to Distributing Valves for Percussive Rock Drilling Machines and other Reciprocating Engines.
Inventor: BANT ANTHONY JOHN
Filed: 1907-03-04
Granted: 1908-01-16
Abstract: 5182. Bant, A. J., and Gullett, H. March 4. Rock drills.-Relates to a percussive rock drill-or o a reciprocating engine of the type in which a valve, oscillated rotationally in the cylinder by a member, attached to a double-headed rotatable piston is used. According to the present invention, the member, which is moved longitudinally by the piston and is rotationally dissociated therefrom, is itself prevented from rotating. The annular valve f has a separate upper portion f<1>, sunk into a recess in the valve body and carrying flanges f<2> to embrace the body; a resilient packing i and fluid pressure keep the valve against the cylinder walls and form a tight joint between the two parts of the valve. The valve has a semi-annular internal recess k to receive the operating-member j, which is rotatably mounted in the piston heads. The valve is operated by helical faces j<1>, j<2>, which alternately engage shoulders k<1> of the recess, one extremity k<3> of each of which is bevelled off. Fluid enters by a single port c and communicates alternately with the ends of the cylinder by ports e, e<1> through a recess g in the valve, and the exhaust from the ports e, e<1> is alternately connected with the ports d, d<1> by recesses h, h<1> in the valve. To prevent axial displacement of the valve, and also to prevent rotation of the member j, screws l pass through the framing and engage the opposite edges of the member j, passing through recesses m at each end of the valve. By adjustment of the screws, the setting of the valve may be altered according to the amount of fluid desired.

Granted: 1908-09-17
Abstract: 21,101. Schinkel, A. F. B. von. Sept. 23. Logs and leeway indicators.-The pointer of a speed indicator of the centrifugal-governor type for vehicles, ships, &c. is adapted to move so that its changes in position are proportional to the increments of speed, and the apparatus can be combined with an odometer and provided with recording means. A hollow shaft 4, Fig. 1, mounted in ball bearings as shown and provided with slotted cam-arms 7, Fig. 6, is rotated by a wheel, log, or other device moving with a speed proportional to that of the vehicle by which it is carried. The governor arms 10 hinged 'to a cross-piece 9 and carrying weights 11 pass through slots in cam-arms 7, and together with the governor spindle 8 are carried round by the cam-arms when the shaft 4 is rotated. The spindle 8 passes within the hollow shaft 4 and is supported by a helical spring 5, the tension of which can be adjusted by a screw 6. To the top of the spindle is pivotally connected a rack 13 suitably guided in the frame 12 and operating a pinion 14 mounted on the pointer spindle. When the governor arms are rotated by the cam-arms 7, their consequent outward movement causes the weights 11 to roll or slide along the inner surface of the cam-arms which are so shaped as to cause the spindle 8 to be depressed against the tension of its spring, and thus the rack to operate the pointer, to an extent proportional to the change in speed. A pointer for indicating the maximum speed can be fitted to the dial, and a marking-style provided with a receptacle for ink &c. can be attached to the top of the rack 13 for use, in conjunction with reels carrying a strip of paper, in making permanent records of the speed. A suitable odometer may be operated from the shaft 4.

Title: Combined Hot-air and Steam Turbine
Inventor: DAVEY HENRY
Filed: 1907-10-31
Granted: 1908-05-28
Abstract: 24,085. Davey, H., and Davey, H. N. Oct. 31. Elastic-fluid turbines.-Turbines are driven by a mixture of hot air and steam, or a mixture of combustion products and steam. In one modification, the two fluids do not mix until exhausted from the turbine. Combustion products pass from a combustion chamber a, Fig. 1, upwards through a heater b, thereby heating air drawn in by a fan d. The combustion products then raise steam in a generator c, which passes along a pipe g to a turbine-wheel f, after which it mixes with the hot air passing through the heater b. The mixture drives a turbine-wheel e and exhausts into the combustion chamber a, thereby furnishing the required oxygen. In a modification the combustion chamber a, Fig. 2, is surrounded by a generator c. The lower part of a turbine-wheel e is driven by the combustion products, and the upper part by steam from the generator. The flow of steam is controlled by a valve m. The mixture exhausts into a condenser h, the condensed steam being removed by a suitable pump, and the residual gas being withdrawn by a fan d. In a further modification the combustion products, on leaving the combustion chamber a, Fig. 3, raise steam in a generator c. The steam acts upon a turbinewheel f and then, mixed with the combustion products, acts upon a turbine e. The mixture next passes through a condenser h, whence the residual gas is withdrawn by a fan d. In a further modification, the combustion products are used to supply heat to a heater b, Fig. 4, and the generator c. Steam from the generator acts upon a turbine-wheel f. It exhausts into the heater b where it is mixed with air supplied by a fan d, and the mixture then acts upon a turbine e and exhausts into the combustion chamber a.

Title: An Improved Process for Obtaining Variegated Colour Effects upon Fabrics.
Inventor: HINDLEY JOHN
Filed: 1908-05-20
Granted: 1908-12-10
Abstract: 10,922. Hindley. J. May 20. Dyeing.-Fabrics are dyed to produce variegatedcolour or " rain - " bow " effects by a modification of an old hand - dyeing process. The fabric is treated with yarn or otherwise, or is knotted, and tied, in two or more places in conjunction with two or more dyeings. Thus the fabric a, Fig. 1, is drawn up into conical form where a variegated-colour effect is desired, tied with cotton or other yarn b in, say, two places, and dyed with, say, light crimson. The colour cannot penetrate the tied parts and only partly penetrates the part c between the tieings b owing to its crumpled condition. The tieings are then removed and the fabric is tied again in virtually the same position but since the crumpling will not be quite the same the second dyeing with another colour, say yellow will effect this part of the fabric differently to the first dyeing. Subsequent tieings, dyeings, and untieings may be carried out with further colours, but before the final dyeing with, say, dark myrtle, the portions between the outer edges of the yarn b are overlapped with another tieing of yarn. Modifications are described in which knotting, or knotting and tying, is employed. When the final colour is to be applied, the fabric may be treated with suitable reagents to correct the effect of the colours already applied. Substitutes mentioned for the yarn in tying are tape, wire, and clips of various kinds and materials.

Filed: 1907-07-01
Granted: 1908-08-04
Abstract: 13,758. Mauss, W. July 1, 1907. Fluid - pressure hammers. - Improved means for cushioning the piston and stopping its reciprocation after an unduly long forward stroke are shown applied to the tool engine described in Specification No. 15,120, A.D. 1907, [Abridgment Class Hand-tools &c.]. In this engine, motive fluid acts continuously on a small rear area 4, the rearward stroke being effected expansively by pressure-fluid passing from the rear cylinder space through ports 21, 12, 22, 23, 24. The ports 24 open in an annular recess 26 formed by a shoulder 25 on the front piston face 2. After an unduly long forward stroke, the shoulder 25 enters a recess 27 in the front cylinder end, and cushions the piston. The supply of air from the holes 24 is thus cut off from the larger part of the front pressure area, namely, that part in front of the shoulder 25, and retraction of the piston is prevented. Specifications No. 5022, A.D. 1906, [Abridgment Class Hand-tools &c.], and No. 27,496, A.D. 1906, [Abridgment Class Steam engines], are also referred to.
