Title: Improvements in Lubricating Oil Pumps.
Inventor: KLINGER RICHARD
IPC: F16N13/20
Filed: 1910-10-31
Granted: 1911-03-23
Abstract: 25,295. Klinger, R. Oct. 31. Force-feed lubricators.-In a force-feed lubricator provided with a sight-tube which can be temporarily interposed in the oil-delivery passage, the supply of oil to the delivery pipe d is regulated by means of an overflow h connecting the delivery side of the pump to the oil reservoir, and controlled by an adjustable valve j. A rotary pump c draws oil through a number of suction pipes b and forces it through delivery pipes d, past non-return valves f, g, to the parts to be lubricated. Parallel to each delivery pipe d is a by-pass k containing glycerine, and closed at the top by a screwed plug m. Oil enters the by-pass through a non-return valve and a drop nozzle n, and the ascending drops are viewed through a window l. The oil is directed either through the main pipe d or through the by-pass by a rotary valve o, operated by an external handle and provided with ports p between which are annular grooves s containing packing.

Abstract: 26,322. Kay, T. Nov. 12. Multiple - delivery piston pumps; valves, arrangement of; assembling parts. - A lubricator for steam-engine cylinders &c., of the kind in which a pump forces oil through a number of sight-tubes surrounding an oil reservoir, is so arranged that all the valves are mounted above the base - plate and are readily accessible. The base-plate b, Figs. 1 and 4, is hollow and forms an extension of the main reservoir a. The inlet valves of the pump are placed above two tubes c<1>, c<2> projecting from the pump-body c into the base-plate b. The pump has two pistons e<2>, e<3> with slotted heads operated by pins f<1>, f<2> on a lever f, which is rocked by a rod g. The delivery valves of the pump are placed in tubes h, h<1>, which communicate by tubes h<4>, h<5> with junction-pieces k, k<1> on which the sight-tubes m, m<1> are mounted. Each junction-piece has a horizontal passage k<5>, Fig. 4, and a vertical passage k<6> communicating with a nozzle n and a spring- pressed valve n<2> at the base of the sight-tube. The nozzle n terminates in a pin n<4> surrounded by a number of openings n<5>. A valve q controls the supply of oil to the sight-tube. Tubes p, Fig. 3, connect the horizontal passages k<5> to junction-pieces k<3> carrying the other sighttubes m<3>. The tubes p communicate with chambers r containing spring - pressed relief valves, which deliver surplus oil to the upper part of the vessel a, and with air-chambers s, which ensure a regular and not an intermittent feed. The pump valves are covered by removable plugs 3, 4, Fig. 1.

Patent GB-191112587-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Automatic Starting Devices for Electric Motors.
Inventor: HADDAN HERBERT JOHN
IPC: H02P1/16
Filed: 1911-05-24
Granted: 1912-02-15
Abstract: 12,587. Haddan, H. J., [Whittingham, G. H.]. May 24. Electro - magnetic switches; interlocked switches. - Relates to an interlocked arrangement of separate electro-magnetically controlled switches, consisting of a main switch and one or more resistance-controlling switches, for starting an electric motor. The main switch 1, 5, 3, 4 comprises a spring-pressed contact-member 5, with an attached bar 6<a>, which normally holds the resistance-controlling switches 14<a>, 15<a> open. In starting, the main switch arm 1 first closes circuit by engaging the spring-pressed contactmember 5 and then moves this member and its bar 6<a> from the normal position, shown in Fig. 2, to release the resistance - controlling switches, the closing action of which, however, is automatically controlled by electro-magnets 20, 21, which were energized by the closing of the main switch. When the strength of the current in the circuit 20, 21 is reduced, owing to the speeding-up of the motor, the magnet 20 that is wound with the smaller number of turns allows its switch to close first. The winding 20, the resistance section 25, and part of the magnet winding 21 are then short-circuited round the contact 16. After an interval, the latter magnet allows its switch to close, short-circuiting the remainder of its winding and the resistance section 28. Whenever the hand-switch 40 is opened, the main switch magnet is de-energized, and the outward movement of the spring-seated contact 5 and its attached bar 6<a> forces open both the resistance-controlling switches before the contact 1 is thrown off. The magnets 20, 21 are utilized as blow-out magnets for the main switch contacts 1, 5.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Regulating Means for Reproducing Machines.
Inventor: CROOKS JAMES WILLIAM
Filed: 1911-06-17
Granted: 1912-06-17
Abstract: 14,431. Crooks, J. W. June 17. Combined with phonographs; winding-mechanism.-A gramophone or like instrument is synchronized with an automatic piano at predetermined intervals only, by pneumatic means. The gramophone 10 and the automatic piano 16 have each separate motors, the latter motor being operated as usual by suction to a main exhaust chamber 17 by way of a pipe 20, chamber 21, valve 22, pipe 23, chamber 24, speedcontrolling valve 25, chamber 26, and pipe 27. At intervals on the gramophone record 11, or on a disk or the like moving with the record, are placed pins 59, 60 adapted to open valves 55, 61, whereby the piano is quickened or slowed in speed until once again synchronism is obtained. When a pin 59 engages with and opens the valve 55, atmospheric air is vented along a pipe 53 into a chamber 51, raising a valve 47, 49, which connects the chambers 36, 37, thereby exhausting the air from the chamber 37 and allowing atmospheric pressure to depress the bellows 41 and open a valve 44 controlled by a rocker 43. Immediately air is vented along a pipe 45, raising a valve 33 connecting the chambers 21, 31, and also raising a valve 30 connecting the chambers 31, 26, thus allowing additional air to be drawn through the motor 16, which therefore speeds up. When in synchronism, one hole 58 in the tune - sheet 19 passes over a hole 57 in the tracker board 18, thus venting air into a chamber 52, lifting a valve 48, 50, which permits the exhausting of a chamber 38, whereupon atmospheric pressure depresses a bellows 42 and closes the rocker 43 over the valve 44, permitting the motor to revolve at normal speed. The tune - sheet 19 normally lags behind the gramophone so that the accompaniment is behind the melody of the gramophone and is brought into synchronism therewith at the beginning of each phrase. If a retardation of accompaniment is required, due to a pause in the melody, then one of the pins 60 vents air through a pipe 62 into a chamber 63, lifting a valve which closes the main air supply valve 34. If the branch valve 30 is open at the same time, this will also be closed, thus momentarily stopping the piano motor 16. A series of pins 60 would produce a long stop. The valves 55, 61 are carried by the tone-arm 13 or an arm moving similarly with the tone-arm. In a modification using a phonograph, the pins 59, 60 are placed inside and outside of an extension of the record cylinder.

Abstract: 26,594. Hall, W. A. Nov. 19. Sulphur is extracted from gases containing it in a finely-divided condition by agitating them with an enveloping body of water; the treatment simultaneously causes the combination of any sulphuretted hydrogen and sulphur dioxide that may be present. Examples of suitable apparatus are: (1) a centrifugal pump drawing water and the discharge gases from a sulphur-producing furnace together into the body of the pump and agitating the water, or (2) an arrangement of vacuum pans containing water through which the fumes from the furnace are drawn. The use of slightly heated water to commence with is advantageous. Specifications 20,758/12, 20,760/12, and 26,370/12 are referred to.
