Granted: 1911-08-31
Abstract: 13,944. Maschinenfabrik Oerlikon. Aug. 18, 1910, [Convention date]. Regulating.-Relates to regulating-devices in which approximate regulation is attained by varying the arc of admission, and final regulation is attained by throttling, A series of valves V<1> ...V<4>, Fig. 1, controlling nozzle sections D<1> ...D' &c. are arranged so that the motive fluid has to pass through the valves V<1> ... V<4> in succession. The valve stems are connected to a lever H<2> pivoted at L and operated by a servo-motor K controlled by a governor R. In the position shown, there is a full supply of steam. As the lever H<2> descends, the valve V<4> gradually throttles the supply of steam to its nozzle section (not shown). When the valve V' is completely closed, a further movement of the lever causes the valve V<3> to commence throttling, and so on till all the valves are closed. In the modification shown in Fig. 2, the lever H<2> is pivoted at P<4> to the lever of an overload valve V<4> held down on its seat by a spring F. Assuming all the valves are closed, the clockwise rotation of the lever H<2> about the point P<4> opens the valves V<1>, V<2>, V<3> in succession. Further rotation causes the lever to fulcrum on the point P<3>, whereupon the overload valve V<4> is opened. Modified mechanisms are described for dealing with valves in different planes.

Granted: 1912-08-01
Abstract: 18,648. Western Electric Co., [Western Electric Co.]. Aug. 18. Order apparatus. - In telephone systems in which calls from an automatic or semi-automatic exchange are extended to a manual exchange, the number of the desired subscriber is indicated visually to the manual operator by means of a number indicator comprising a switching-device for each digit, each device controlling the circuit of ten indicating-lamps. Each switch consists of a clutch-driven spindle carrying a number of cams which press the contact-springs shown in the upper part of the Figure against their upper and lower contacts in succession, thereby closing a circuit through one of the ten lamps, according to the position in which the spindle is arrested. The clutch-magnet 401 of the ' thousands ' switch is first energized, and, as its spindle rotates, a cam 413 intermittently earths a lead 217, thereby operating impulsecounting relay apparatus at the semi-automatic exchange. When the number of impulses received by the relay apparatus corresponds to the value of the depressed key, the clutchmagnet 401 is de - energized, and the clutchmagnet 402 of the ' hundreds ' switch energized in its place. The ' hundreds,' ' tens,' and ' units ' switches are operated in a similar manner, the number of the subscriber wanted being finally indicated by the lighting of a lamp in each digit indicator. The numerical indicator may be connected to trunks handling incoming calls by means of a call-finder.

Granted: 1913-01-02
Abstract: 8789. Turnbull, A. P. April 28, 1911, [Convention date]. Regulating.-In a windmill in which, when the wind pressure becomes excessive, the windwheel turns out of the wind against the pull of a weight or spring, the weight or spring is attached to the wheel head and the tail vane by a rope or chain. In the construction shown in Fig. 12, the wind-wheel shaft 47 drives a central shaft in the bower 24 by gearing, the upper structure being supported on a rotary table 21. The tail vane 17 is pivoted to the upper structure by a pin 49 and has pulleys 58, 59 over which a weighted rope 27 passes from an arm 57 on the table 21 to the bottom of the bower. When, under excessive pressure, the wind-wheel rotates out of the wind, the vane 17 remaining in the wind causes the weight on the rope 27 to rise. On the pressure falling, the weight brings the wheel back into the wind. For stopping the machine, the weight is raised, thus allowing the wheel to turn out of the wind. In a modification, the tail vane 17 is pivoted between arms extending from the table 21, and the weight is mounted beneath the arms. An adjustable spring may be used. An electric generator may be mounted on the table 21 and driven by chain gearing, suitable conductors being provided.

Movable-abutment type; working-fluid supply. - Consists in an improved construction of internal-combustion engine having means for varying the mixture of the fuel. The motor consists of two sets of oppositely revoluble blades 13, 17 traversing segmental chambers 15, 16 interconnected by base chambers in the casing 1 formed with partitions 2 and longitudinallyreciprocating base-plates 4 which serve alternately as abutments in adjoining chambers. The plates are reciprocated by racks 5 and segmental gears 6 on shafts 7 operated by segment pinions 8 on cams 9 oscillated by cams on the shaft 12 of one of the sets of blades 13. Bevel-gears 21 of shafts 12, 19 drive a pump shaft having a number of cranks 23, corresponding to the pairs of chambers, the pins 24 of which travel in the slotted yokes 25 of the piston stems 26 of double-acting air-pumps; the barrels of the air-pumps are connected to an air chest 30 having ports 31 opening through check valves 32 into the compartments of the casing. The ports 31 are controlled by slide valves 33 operated through racks 37, segments 36, shafts 35, and arms 34 from cams on the shaft 12. Fuel from a pipe 38 is injected into the air supply by pumps 39, the stems 41 of which are reciprocated by rock-arms 42 actuated by cams 44 on the shaft 19. The arms 42 are slotted and engaged by pins 45 on levers 46. racked ends of which are fulcrumed against pinions 48. The levers 46 are slotted to engage pins 51 on the stems 41, and the pump strokes are varied by altering the position of pins 45 by a hand-wheel 53, the pinions being connected by a chain 52. The walls of the explosion chamber may be jacketed with fire-proof material.
