Patent GB-196614-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in apparatus for measuring a flowing medium
IPC: G01F5/00
Filed: 1923-04-19
Abstract: 196,614. Roucka, E. April 19, 1922, [Convention date]. Integrating.-A flow meter is provided with means for periodically varying the resistance to flow, the time taken for the differential pressure to read a predetermined value serving as a measure of the flow. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the area of the passage for flow is periodically varied by means of a member 3 carried by an arm 4: a synchronous motor 40 drives a cam 34 acting on a lever 18 carrying a catch 16 engaging an arm 10 on the shaft of the arm 4. The flow conduit is connected by pipes 50 to a differential pressure gauge, the diaphragm 54 of which is connected to a lever 64 normally held against a stop 65 by a spring 66. When the resistance to flow is increased in consequence of the reduction in area of the flow passage, the pressure acting to depress the diaphragm 54 is increased until, at a time depending on the flow, it becomes sufficient to depress the lever 64. A screw 70 carried by the lever then depresses a spring 74 so that a contact 72 engages with a spring 78 so that an electric current passes from a source 92 through 74, 78 and 76 to a line 46, and energizes electromagnets 44, 204 and 168. The magnet 44 through its armature causes the catch 16 to be disengaged from the arm 10, and a spring 12 moves the member 3 into the position of least resistance to flow. The magnet 204 removes a catch carried by its armature from engagement with a cam 192 driven by a synchronous motor 190, the cam then operating a counter through the arm 196, a friction grip or jaw 210 and a friction wheel 206. The magnet 168 moves a lever 164 to depress on to a travelling sheet 178, the recording point of a lever 160 which is oscillated by a cam 154 driven by a synchronous motor 150. in a modification, the resistance to flow is varied by a member 222, Fig. 2, acted on by a tension rod 226 connected to a cam-operated lever 234, and by a spring 230. The Specification, as open to inspection under Sect. 91 (3) (a), comprises also a statement that the indications may be given by a variation or impulse of an auxiliary energy or medium such as light, heat, sound, electric waves &c. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Filed: 1927-04-21
Abstract: 292,732. Siemens - Schuckertwerke Ges., Kuhl, L., and Ritz, C. April 21, 1927. Railways, permanent way of.-Two or more edges of a tie plate are simultaneously welded to an iron sleeper by two or more arc-welding heads. A separate welding head 3 - 6 may be used for each edge, each having an electrode, preferably automatically controlled, the heads being traversed on guides on a frame provided with a ram for pressing the plate on to the sleepers. The heads may be separately traversed by hand or may be traversed by hand through screw or rack and pinion gear, or by motor-operated screws 9, 13, 14, 15 and bevel gear. The heads 3, 5, which weld the narrow edges of the plate may be traversed at a slower speed than the heads 4, 6, by using of different pitch, or the current fur the heads 3, 5 may be switched in later than for the heads 4, 6. The heads may be angularly adjustable by hand through worm gear and the electrodes may be oscillated transversely of the joint during welding by an eccentric actuated by the main drive. Two welding beads may be used, the fixing of the sleeper being, changed after one pair of opposite edges is welded, so as to act on the other edges. In welding two edges of a plate by a single welding head, the head 17, Fig. 4, may be traversed in a guide, track 16 carried by an arm 26, which is pivoted at 22 to a bracket 25 secured to the ram 8. The head is traversed by a hand-wheel 18 through worm and rack and pinion gear until it contacts with a removable stop or spring latch, whereupon the arm is swung round the pivot until stops 23 engage the bracket 25, and the head is then traversed along the other edge of the plate. Spring latches 23<a> may engage the stops 23 to hold them in correct position. The angle between a line. drawn from the pivot to the corner of the plate and the sides of the plate may be 45‹. Two separate multiple welding devices, spaced apart the distance between the rails may be used to weld the separate tie plates to the sleeper.
