Granted: 1912-09-26
Abstract: 21,490. Parsons, Sir C. A., and Carnegie, A. Q. Sept. 29. Movable - abutment type; back pressure, reducing; discharge and suction pipes; packing drums &c.-To prevent fluid friction 'in the spaces between the inter-engaging wheels of a pump running in a sealing and lubricating liquid, the teeth are formed to allow of the escape of the liquid from the contracting spaces. Three pairs of toothed wheels g, h revolve in the three chambers b, c, d of the casing a, on parallel shafts m, n. Inner walls p, q, w contact with a certain number of teeth, and extend above the wheels to form vessels for the immersing liquid. Glands s, supplied with liquid under pressure through pipes t, prevent leakage. To prevent the imrnersing liquid from being trapped in the contracting space between the engaging teeth, they are formed with considerable back-lash, as, for instance, by cutting them away as shown in Fig. 6, or by forming notches or grooves in the teeth backs, the height of the teeth being unchanged. Adjustable external gear - wheels r may be provided. The gas or vapour passes from an inlet v, is entrained between the teeth and the walls to pass up through the liquid from which it passes down to an inlet u of the second stage, and subsequently through the inlet x to the third stage, and thence to the outlet y. As the gas or vapour is constantly being compressed, the stages decrease in size.

Abstract: 9515. Bircher, E. A., Nobles, H. C., Cogswell, G. A., and Thurston, W. B. April 22. Vertical-cutter type for cutting sheet material in direction of feed. - Relates to cutting- machines particularly adapted for opening envelopes by cutting a narrow strip from their edges. Fig. 3 shows a perspective view of the machine, and Fig. 1 shows a plan view with the casing removed. The envelopes are placed on the table 39, and are fed by the rollers 31, 43 to the rotary cutters 12, 18, which cut off the strip from the edge. The table, which is secured to the casing 38 by the screw 45, has a vertical flange 39<a> serving as a lateral guide for the envelopes. To regulate the width of the strip cut, the guide 39<a> is adjusted relatively to the cutters, by placing washers on the screw 45 or on the spindles of the cutters. The axis 28, Fig. 1, of the lower feed roller 31 is arranged at a slight inclination to the axis of the cutter 12, and the upper feed roller 43 is arranged still more out of parallel alinement, so that the rollers move the envelopes up against the guide 39<a> while advancing them to the cutters. The roller 43 is carried by the pivoted, spring-controlled arm 41, which serves also as a housing for the cutter 18. The cutters 12, 18 are both undercut, as shown in Fig. 5, and grind against each other so that they are self-sharpening, the cutter 18 being pressed against the other by a spring 21, which is mounted in the hollow end of the spindle 15 and bears through the pressure pin 20 against the end plate 22. The cutter 18 is clamped against the disc 17 on the spindle 15 by a nut 19. The cutter 12 is driven through the worm gear 6 by the electric motor 9, and the cutter 18 is driven at a slightly greater speed through the spur gear 11. The feed roller 31 is driven from the spindle of the cutter 12 by the belt 32, this roller being mounted on a bell-crank lever 24, which is acted on by a spring to keep the belt taut. A trough 13 is provided for the discharge of the cut strips from the machine.

Hand actuation ; force-transmitting mechanism.-Brakes of the railway-wagon type are constructed so that the blocks are moved into contact with the wheels by auxiliary levers, the braking pressure being afterwards applied through main levers having fixed fulcra. The hand-levers 1 are secured upon a shaft 2 provided with an arm 3, which is connected by a link 4 to an arm 5 provided on the brake shaft 6 carrying the usual tumbler lever 9, 10. The lever 9, 10 is connected at its ends to boxes 12, which slide on the ends of the brake rods 11 and carry springs 13, as shown in Fig. 4. The shaft 2 is provided with an additional arm 16 which is connected by a link 17 to a main pressure lever 18, which is pivoted on the brake shaft 6 and carries pawls 19 adapted to engage ratchet teeth 20 on the brake-rods 11. The hand-lever 1 is locked by a rack 25 and a spring catch 24 actuated by a lever 22. During the first part of the application of the brakes, the blocks are moved against the wheels by the arms 3, 5, link 4, and tumbler lever 9, 10 acting through the springs 13, the ratchets 20 slipping under the pawls 19; but when the blocks contact with the wheels, the pressure is applied through the lever 18 and pawls 19. The springs 13 act to release the brakes. Compensating for wear is effected automatically by the pawls 19 and ratchets 20 described above.
