Granted: 1909-07-15
Abstract: 20,865. Hamilton, J. Oct. 3. Locomotives.- Steam locomotives are driven by slowrunning rotary engines, which are coupled to the larger wheels and the exhaust from which is delivered to turbines coupled to the smaller wheels. The driving-axles A, B, C of the locomotive are driven by slow-running rotary engines preferably of the type described in Specification No. 20,864, A.D. 1908 [Abridgment Class Rotary engines &c.]. Three engines are arranged on each axle, the centre one being of double the capacity of the side engines, and having its piston eccentricity diametrically opposite thereto. Each group of three engines is set at 120 degrees to the remaining sets. The supply and exhaust pipes are coupled to boxes H, J which are fitted with sliding valves so that one or more groups may be cut out. A distributing-valve K is supplied with steam through a port K<2>, from which the steam passes through the box H or J according to the direction in which the engines are driven. The exhaust returns through the other box to the pipe K<3>, from which it may pass through a pipe L<2> to a condenser, or through a loaded valve L<5> to turbines on the axles F, G, according to the adjustment of a valve in the casing L. The exhaust from the turbines passes to the condenser through a pipe G<3>.

Abstract: 28,215. Goold, W. T. Dec. 28. Lift valves; actuating valves; casings; spindles. - A steam-trap of the Geipel type has a cup-shaped main valve J opening downwards against the pressure of the fluid, and provided with a relief port closed by a relief valve K, also opening against the pressure of the fluid, and against the action of a spring K<3>; in a modification, the relief valve is dispensed with, an equilibrium valve being used. An inlet pipe A admits fluid through ports G<1> to a space below the main valve, and when the tube A contracts, a spindle K<1>. carrying the relief valve is forced against an adjustable screw M' on a pivoted lever M<3>. The pressure of the fluid on the upper side of the valve together with the weight of the valve causes the valve to open, the liquid being discharged through the tube B. The valve casing is formed by three parts D<1>, D<2>, D<3> screwed together. The valve spindle passes through a stuffing-box L which is out of contact with the steam. In the form shown in Fig. 2, the equilibrium valve has two faces J', J<2>, the tube A opening to the space between the faces. The valve spindle is provided at the top with a steel ball S to reduce friction, and the part D<3> may be omitted, the spring being placed above the stuffing-box. According to the Provisional Specification, the valve spindle may be formed in two parts with a loose joint between the parts, and a light spring may he used to open the main valve. Specifications No. 7860, A.D. 1893, No. 21,571, A.D. 1894, and No. 12,131, A.D. 1896, [Abridgment Class Heating], are referred to.

Inventor: JAUBERT GEORGE FRANCOIS
IPC: F02B3/00
Filed: 1909-03-27
Granted: 1909-09-02
Abstract: 7428. Jaubert, G. F. April 13, 1908, [Convention date]. Cycles and systems of working.-To prevent backfiring in the fuel-injection passages of closed-circuit engines which inject liquid fuel with inert gases charged with oxygen, the proportion of oxygen in the fuel-injection gases is either reduced below that contained in the main charge supplied to the cylinders or is dispensed with entirely. The combustion gases are first exhausted into a receiver and divided, being afterwards purified and cooled before the subsequent addition of oxygen. A modified method of working is described in which the combustion products for the formation of the charge are retained in the cylinder, oxygen being subsequently injected before the admission of the fuel. The invention is suitable for use on suhmarine motors and is applicable to engines working on the Diesel and other cycles.
