Title: Improved Means for Conveying Condensed Steam, Vapour and the like from Pipes, Receivers, Separators and other Receptacles to the Generators or Boilers.
Inventor: WILKINSON GEORGE

Granted: 1909-12-02
Abstract: 16,287. Wilkinson, G. July 13. Feed-water, supplying.-Relates to apparatus for returning water or liquid of condensation from steam or other plant to the boiler or generator, and consists of upper and lower chambers b, a, respectively, connected together by one or more rising pipes c, which reach from near the bottom of the chamber a to near the top of the chamber b. The chamber b is connected to the boiler by a pipe e. The water of condensation passes into the chamber a through inlets d, and is forced up the rising pipe c to the chamber b by the pressure of the steam which follows the water of condensation. When the lower end of the pipe c is unsealed, the steam passes into the chamber b, equalizing the pressure therein to that in the boiler, in consequence of which the water in the chamber b flows into the boiler by gravity. The lower end of the pipe c becoming sealed by a further entry of water, the steam enclosed in the chamber b condenses, and the operations are repeated. An automatic relief valve or steam-trap is provided to allow excess water to escape should the apparatus become flooded.

Title: Improvements in Telephone Exchanges.
Filed: 1909-10-28
Granted: 1910-02-10
Abstract: 24,812. Siemens Bros. & Co., [Siemens & Halske Akt.-Ges.]. Oct. 28. Automatic and semi-automatic exchange systems. -In systems in which each subscriber's line is connected to a preliminary selector, at which contact arms are operated step by step until a disengaged line is found, a circuit is closed through a third wire of the selected line, which renders this line unavailable for other preliminary selectors, and also energizes a magnet which locks the selector in position during talking. The exchange may operate by band or automatically, and the subscribers can be called by automatic line selectors. When the subscriber Z takes down his receiver, a circuit is completed by the lines a, band contacts 8, 9 through the calling-relay R at the preliminary selector VW. This relay closes contacts 3, 7, and the circuit of the battery F is closed through the magnet D, which, by means of the interrupter U, drives the contact arms a<0>, b<0>, c<0>. The contact arms pass over engaged lines, the wires c of which are earthed over the contact 14 at the exchange V, but in the case of a disengaged line, the relay AR is de-energized, and the line c is connected by the contact 15 to the battery G. When a disengage line is reached, the circuit of the batterv G at the exchange V is closed through the relay P, which then closes the contact 5. The circuit of the relay T at the preliminary selector is now closed, thus opening contacts 8, 9 and closing contacts 1, 2, 4. The relay R is de-energized and, contacts 3, 7 being broken, the magnet D ceases working. A circuit is now closed through lines a, b, wires a<4>, b<4>, relay AR, and battery G. This lights the call lamp l<4> and closes the contact 14 at the exchange. The operator now connects his instrument, and subsequently plugs in. During talking, the circuit of the battery F indicated by arrows is closed, thus holding the contacts 1, 2, 4 closed, and also, by the contact 14, short-circuiting the relay P of other preliminary selectors connected with this line. When the receiver is hung up at Z, the relay AR is de-energized, the contact 14 is broken, the relay T withdraws the pawl 23 by the arm 22, and the contact arms a<0>, b<0>, c<0> are returned by a spring. The contact 6 now permits the subscriber Z to be called by the automatic line selectors LW from the exchange V<1> The exchange V may operate automatically. In the preliminary selector VW<1>, the relays P and T are combined.

Abstract: 28,542. Cook, E. Dec. 7. Jacks. - Comprises the general arrangement of the parts of a ratchet lifting-jack having special means provided for reversing the action of the pawls for lowering. Fig. 2 shows a single-acting jack, according to the invention, with the mechanism arranged for lifting. The operating-pawl 9, pivoted on the hand-lever 6, and the retaining-pawl 8, pivoted on the casing, are both maintained in engagement with the rack-bar by the spring 14. For lowering, the foot-lever is depressed so that the toe-piece 24 releases the pivoted reversing-member 17. The arms at the upper end of the reversing-member then engage pins on the pawls, and release them alternately from the rack. When the load is supported on the pawl 9 during the lowering- .operation, the pin 26 rides over the shoulder on the arm 19, and rotates the reversing- member against the action of the spring 21, thereby releasing the pawl 8 to re-engage the rack. The unloaded pawl 9 is then disengaged by the reversing-member until it abuts against a stop formed on the other pawl opposite to its pivot. At the end of the following stroke, the pawl 9 is re-engaged, and the pawl 8 disengaged when the pin 26 is raised above the shoulder on the arm 19. A double-acting jack is shown, in which both pawls are mounted on the hand-lever.

Granted: 1912-08-22
Abstract: 19,163. Lamplough, F. Aug. 26. Revolving-cylinder pumps. - In a hydraulic transmission apparatus, the primary and secondary pumps are of such construction that, when their respective shafts, which are in alinement, are coupled together, a direct drive can be obtained without the rotation of either pump. The primary pump A is of the type in which radial cylinders d have their pistons l operated by drums to which they are connected. These drums f are at the centre of a lever (not shown), one end of which is pivoted and the other adjustable by means of a screw &c., so that the eccentricity of the drum can be varied. The sleeve b containing the admission and discharge passages b<4>, b<5> is fixed to the stationary casing k, and around it the sleeve d' carrying the cylinders can be made to rotate by connecting the shaft a of the primary pump to the sleeve d<1> by means of a clutch c. The secondary pump B is of the type in which segmental pistons m<2>, travelling between two floating rings m, m<1>, are made to approach and recede by means of engaging pins m<3> attached to eccentric disks n, the whole being also mounted upon a sleeve b<1> rotatable in the secondary shaft a<1>. The motors are in liquid communication by pipes (not shown) which connect passages b<4>, b<5> with two ports o of the secondary pump. On the end of shaft a' adjacent to the primary pump shaft a is arranged a slidable double-clutch c3, which can either clutch together both shafts a, a<1>, or clutch the secondary pump to its shaft. A modification of the primary pump for independent use is described, in which the sleeve is dispensed with, the passages being then arranged in the shaft itself.
