Title: Piston Draining Device.
Inventor: SCHMIDT WILHELM
IPC: F01B25/00
Filed: 1912-03-06
Granted: 1912-05-16
Abstract: 5645. Schmidt, W. March 14, 1911, [Convention date]. Pistons, heating. -In a terminalexhaust engine, a heating-space c is formed in the end of the piston by a diaphragm p. Steam is admitted to the space c from the cylinder clearance space by a valve h, which is loaded by a weak spring. When expansion occurs in the cylinder, the valve h is closed by the pressure of the steam in the space c. The draining- valve i, which may be arranged vertically, or horizontally, as shown, is kept closed during the return or compression stroke of the piston until the piston overruns a groove k, which admits live steam beneath the valve i, and enables the spring d<1> to open the valve. The valve remains open until the valve overruns the terminal exhaust ports.

Granted: 1913-07-10
Abstract: 2674. Almfelt, K.. J., and Hart, A. Feb. 1. Disk and wheel apparatus. - In a grinding- machine, particularly adapted for grinding ball and roller bearing sleeves or rings, the work head 13, fitted with a rotatable work spindle 14 and adapted to swivel on the frame, is formed with a depending hollow boss 16 carrying a stud shaft 18 with a pulley or wheel 20 and a gear-wheel 19, the pulley being connected by a belt or chain 21 to a pulley or wheel 22 upon the work spindle and the gear-wheel arranged to be driven by a circular toothed rack or wheel 11 which surrounds the boss and is enclosed, and mounted to rotate horizontally, within the frame of the machine. The wheel 11 is driven by a bevel-wheel 7 upon a countershaft 3 provided with change-speed gear 8, this countershaft being driven by a belt 4 from the main powerdriven shaft 2. For effecting the automatic reciprocation of the main slide 38, Fig. 3, the shaft is connected by a belt 24 to a shaft 23 provided with a change-speed gear 28 and with loose bevel-wheels 31, 32 in mesh with a wheel 35 upon the spindle of a pinion 36, Fig. 3, in gear with a rack 37 upon the lower face of the slide, one or the other wheel 31, 32 being clutched to the shaft 23 by the actuation of a lever 34 and clutch 33 by adjustable stops 39 upon the main slide. When the machine is at rest and it is desired to set the slide in relation to the work and to adjust the stops, the clutch is placed in its middle position ; the slide may then be advanced or retarded by turning a handwheel connected by belt gearing to the shaft of the pinion 36. The spindle of the grinding- wheel or tool is mounted in a groove 72 upon a cross-slide 47 which is fed across the main slide by the engagement of a pinion 49 with a rack 48, the pinion being driven by bevelwheels 50, 51, a worm and worm-wheel 53, 52, two-speed gearing 55, 57, 56, 58, and ratchet gearing 68, 69. The main slide carries an adjustably - controlled trigger which is lifted by an adjustable stop or cam 62 upon the frame of the machine, and the rear end of the trigger thus actuates a lever 67 carrying the spring- pressed pawl 6S, so that at each reciprocation of the main slide a part turn is given to the ratchet-wheel 69. In order to adjust the crossslide when the machine is at rest, the clutch 60 is placed in its middle position and the shaft 54 can then be turned in either direction by a hand-wheel 70 and a wheel 71 in mesh with one of the wheels on the shaft. A cover is arranged over the mechanism on the top of the main slide.

Abstract: 2841. Williams, P. E. Feb. 3. Ammonia ; ammonium sulphate. - Ammonia is obtained from sulphocyanides, for instance from a solution of calcium sulphocyanide obtained from ammonium sulphocyanide prepared from gas as described in Specification 23,624/09, by heating with an alkali or alkaline earth in the presence of water, and removing the carbon oxysulphide which is also produced. The calcium sulphocyanide solution is evaporated nearly to dryness and mixed with slaked lime, and the mixture, covered with a laver of slaked lime (to absorb the carbon oxysulphide), is heated to 500-600‹ C. in an iron vessel placed in an externally heated chamber. A vessel of water may be placed in the chamber, or a jet of steam may be injected to maintain a moist atmosphere so as to provide water for the reaction and assist in the removal of the ammonia. The ammonia may be directed into sulphuric acid in a closed vessel, the upper part of which is connected with an air-pump or gas-exhauster.

Abstract: 15,187. Dawson, Sir A. T., and Horne, J. June 24. Loading-appliances.-Relates to ammunition hoists in which the gun-loading cage is provided with a movable support for the powder charges, which is controlled by the rammer so as to move step by step to enable the charges to move through an opening in the cage on to the projectile tray. According to the invention, the powder charges are retained in place in the cage partly by the movable support and partly by the body of the cage. Fig. 1 shows a rear view of the gun-loading cage A carrying quarter powder-charges in pairs on trays c, c<1> on the swinging powder-charge support C, and a projectile on a tray A<1>. Attached to the support C and moving therewith on a pivot C' is a plate E having a groove E<1> with stepped shoulders e, c<1>, e<2>, against which a movable stop D successively engages during the swinging of the support. The stop D is automatically rotated step by step bv means of a member D' mounted on a spindle d<2>, connected with the stop by a link d<1>, and rotated through a projection F and shoulder D<2> by the contact of the head of the rammer with a two-armed pawl F', F<2>, as shown in Fig. 2. The rammer, at the end of its return movement after ramming the projectile, moves the arm F<1> and with it the stop D to free the powder-charge support C, so that two quarter-charges fall from the tray c on to the tray A<1>, the stop D then arresting the support by engaging with the shoulder e<1>. The rammer, after ramming these two quartercharges and on its return, then moves the arm F<2>, and the stop D is again actuated to free the support C and allow the other two quartercharges to fall from the tray c<1> oil to the tray A', the stop D arresting the support by engaging with the shoulder e<2>. The movements of the support are cushioned by a buffer E<2> engaging with cams A<2>, A<3>. The support C is returned to the position shown in Fig. 1 when the loading-cage is lowered, by the engagement of a stop E<x> with a cam on the loading-arm, a spring returning the stop D. The stop D may be displaced manually a step at a time by moving a hand-lever G, which moves an arm d carrying the stop through a spring catch G<1> and notches on the arm.
