Title: Improvements in Centrifugal Machines.
Inventor: ROBERTSON ANDREW ROBERT
Filed: 1901-08-15
Granted: 1902-01-02
Abstract: 16,367. Robertson, A. R., [Freitag, A.]. Aug. 15. Fluid bearings for centrifugal machines. Referring to Fig. 1, the space F at the bottom of the spindle is charged with fluid at a pressure sufficient to support the spindle, drum, &c. If from any cause the pressure falls, the spindle will descend and bring the brake-surface D on the drum into contact with the fixed brake-surface C, thereby bringing the machine to rest. The same brake may be utilized for rapidly bringing the drum to rest when the machine is stopped. To prevent the spindle from being pushed too high in its bearings, a port H is formed which is uncovered by the spindle when a certain upward movement has taken place ; the fluid then escapes and passes up along the spindle, between the brake surfaces, and away by the pipe K. Fig. 8 shows a modified arrangement, in which the fluid is introduced at F to support the sleeve C upon which the cap B at the head of the spindle is mounted by means of a ball-and-socket joint. Fig, 9 shows another arrangement, in which the fluid is introduced into the space between the cap B on the spindle and the non-rotating cap H. In applying the invention in connection with the Weston suspension, the fluid under pressure is led through the central non-rotating spindle to an annular space formed between the facing ends of a sleeve on that spindle and another sleeve fixed in the hollow rotating spindle.

Abstract: 21,039. Kelly, A., and Hansen, C. D. B. Sept. 27. Windlasses ; capstans.-Relates to differentiallever brakes for windlasses and capstans of the kind described in Specifications No. 17,716, A.D. 1892, No. 3275, A.D. 1898, and No. 1269, A.D. 1900. The brake block G (to which is pivoted at F the usual differential lever E connected by links D, D' to the straps C) is connected to the framing through a spring or the like, thus allowing of a slight angular movement of the brake drum when the brake is on. In the example shown, a link H, pivoted to the pin F, bears, by means of a plate H<1>, on a helical spring I contained in a casing J secured to the framework. The spring may be arranged below the deck, instead of as shown, and the brake may be applied by worm or spur gearing instead of by a lever as shown. These modifications are illustrated in their application to vertical as well as to horizontal drums.

Granted: 1903-10-08
Abstract: 27,389. Sp³hl, H. Dec. 11. Water-heating gas stoves.-The water to be heated flows through a series of flat pipes C, arranged over a gas burner E and connected to hollow frames B. A combined gas and water cock controls the supplies of gas and water. The hollow frames B are connected by nipples N to each other and to the hollow cover F, through which water from the supply pipe H flows. The pipes C slope one above the other so that any water which may leak falls ultimately into the channel T. The combined cock is shown in plan section in Fig. 4, and comprises a gas valve f, a water valve a for controlling the supply of water to the heater, and a water outlet valve c for emptying the heater when not in use. The valve cone l is operated by a screw spindle m, which is turned by a tappet n secured to the plug p of the valve c, both valves c and a being thus operated by a handle o which carries a pointer o' moving over a plate s. The valve f is also operated by the handle o through the toothed segments q, q<1>. As the handle o moves the valve c is first closed, and the valves a, f gradually opened, the "lighting" pipe i being supplied before the burners E. By means of a cock p the heater may be connected either to the shower or the discharge pipe S.

Title: Improvements in Pressure Reducing Valves for Beer and other Liquids.
Inventor: HARRIS WILLIAM PLOMER
Filed: 1902-12-12
Granted: 1903-04-02
Abstract: 27,427. Harris, W. P. Dec. 12. Reducing-valves.-In a pressure-reducing valve for use in racking-off beer and other liquids into casks or for other purposes, a balanced valve D' is attached by a chain &c. H to a float G which moves in a vertical tube I communicating with the outlet side a<2> of the valve casing A. The flow of liquid past the valve is controlled by the height of the float, and consequently by the pressure at the outlet. The valve spindle moves in a guide F, and may be forced up, by means of a screwed spindle K underneath it, to close the valve. A set-screw 17 may be screwed down through the cover of the tube I to prevent the float G from acting on the valve. A pipe J allows the air to escape from the top of the tube I.

Title: Safety Apparatus for Air and Vacuum Brakes of Railway or other Vehicles.
Filed: 1903-01-27
Granted: 1903-06-04
Abstract: 1979. Siemens Bros. & Co., [Siemens & Halske Akt.-Ges.]. Jan. 27. Brakes.-Relates to valves which, when the pressure in the train-pipes varies beyond certain limits, automatically discharge the air in the trainpipes, and thus apply the brakes. The invention is described in connection with compressed-air brakes, but may also be fitted to vacuum brakes. If the air in the train-pipe 2, Fig. 1, or in the auxiliary reservoir, leaks away, the pressure in the valve casing 1 falls, and the piston 4 is lifted by the adjustable spring 5 until the shoulders 19, 20 on the spring carriers 8, 9 strike the end of the stem of the piston valve 13, which is lifted until the channels 18 are uncovered, so that the air in the train-pipe escapes rapidly through the hollow stem and the channels 16, and thence into the atmosphere, so that the brakes are applied. The further ascent of the piston 4 causes the upper ends of the carriers 8, 9 to bear against the conical underside of the cover 12, and to release the piston valve 13, which is then pressed down by the spring 17. In the modification shown in Fig. 2, the valve 13 is held open for a short period during the discharge of the air. The rise of the piston 4 causes the upper end of the spring carrier 9 to bear against the annular ridge 23 on the cover, and to engage with the upper side of the flange 27 of the valve 13, which is thus opened. The further fall of pressure causes the collar 28 to bear against the flange 27, so that the adjustable spring 31 prevents any further movement of the valve 13 until the lower limit of pressure is passed, when the nose of the carrier 9 slips from the flange 27, and the valve 13 is closed by the springs 5, 31. The valve 13 may be held closed by a special spring.

Granted: 1903-05-14
Abstract: 7693. Sexton, C. W. April 2. Ores, treating; zinc; gold; silver.-Complex ores of zinc, containing precious metals, are treated as follows for their recovery. The ore, roasted if it contains sulphur, is mixed with carbonaceous material and with such additions or proportions that it may contain iron, which must not, in general, exceed 13 per cent. of the weight of the calcined ore. The zinc is distilled off in retorts and the residue is treated in magnetic separators, preferably of the Wetherill type. The magnetic heads contain the precious metals, which can be recovered in any suitable manner, and the tailings may be washed to save the coal for further use.
