Abstract: 508,614. Railway locomotives and trains ; ventilating. BUDD MANUFACTURING CO., E. G. April 19, 1938, No. 11741. Convention date, April 19, 1937. [Classes 79 (i) and 79 (iii)] [Also in Group X] A locomotive or motor unit A is coupled to a car unit B, and its side walls 15 at the rear embrace and are spaced from the side walls of the front end of the car unit, so that the flow of air due to the forward travel of the motor unit produces an aspirating effect tending to draw air out of the interior of the motor unit through the spaces between the said walls. In the construction shown applied to a motor unit having a Diesel engine 1 coupled to an electric generator, air is drawn from the front of the unit through louvres 4, openings in a forward bulkhead 3 and openings 10 in the rear of the unit, this air passing through engine-cooling radiators 6. Fans 5, 7 driven by auxiliary motors 2, 8 may be provided to assist the air flow. The rear ends of the side walls of the motor unit may be provided with flexible portions 15a, Fig. 4, to permit of use on railway curves of short radius.

Patent GB-349236-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to producing and treating twisted artificial silk
IPC: D01D7/02
Filed: 1930-04-14
Abstract: <PICT:0349236/IV/1> <PICT:0349236/IV/2> Artificial silk is collected in a centrifugal spinning pot in the form of a uniform conical cake having a constant degree of conicity.  For the subsequent after treatment the cakes may be supported on rigid conical bobbins, or the wet treatments may be carried out while the cakes are in the spinning pots and other treatments such as drying and further twisting may be performed with the cakes supported on the conical bobbins.  The conical cakes are obtained by employing spinning pots of considerable conicity and a thread guide-tube which moves up and down with a speed adjusted so that the conicity of the interior and surface of the cake formed remains constant however thickly the cake is wound.  The speed of the thread guide is inversely proportional to the varying distance between the lower mouth of the tube and the spinning cake.  It is preferable to correlate the speed of the thread guide with the distance between the lower mouth of the tube and the inner diameter of the cake.  As shown in the Figures, a thread guide-tube d is reciprocated in a conical spinning pot a by means of a rod g connected with a bell-crank lever i carrying a roller l which is moved backwards and forwards by cam m in the form of an axially movable drum of different heart-shaped cross sections.  For the subsequent treatments such as washing, desulphurizing, bleaching, dyeing, finishing, and drying, the cake f may be placed on a conical bobbin o provided with slits p and with a muff q for forming a junction with a liquid, vacuum, or compressed air conduit r.  A further centring piece s may be provided for securing this conduit, and also ensuring the firm setting of the bobbin on a twisting spindle when desired.  The treatment liquids may be sucked through the cakes by connecting the bobbins with a suction conduit, or they may be forced outwardly under pressure.  For drying the cakes, hot air may be sucked through or forced outwardly as desired.  The bobbins may then be placed on rotating spindles, and the threads may be drawn off upwardly from the cakes, twisted, and wound on spools. The dried cakes on the conical bobbins may be used directly for wraps or for hosiery knitting.

Abstract: 591,524. Vapour engine power plant; elastic-fluid turbines. STANDARD TELEPHONES & CABLES, Ltd. May 11, 1945, No. 11867. Convention date, June 7, 1944. [Classes 110 (iii) and 122 (iii)] [Also in Group XXXV] A mercury-vapour turbo-generator comprises a mercury-vapour turbine, a generator operated thereby, a gas-tight housing enclosing both turbine and generator, and gas-tight supply means for supplying the vapour to the turbine. A single throat delivers the vapour directly and simultaneously against all the blades mounted on the periphery of the turbine wheel. Fuel from a tank 5, Fig. 1, flows to a burner 4 in a flue 8. A coil 3 surrounding the burner receives liquid mercury from an air-cooled condenser 10 and passes the vapour up a conduit 17 to a turbine 14 operating a generator 15. The conduit 17 leads to a throat 20, Fig. 2, where the vapour diverges along a conical passage 19 divided up by blades 21 to direct streams of the vapour simultaneously against all the blades 22 carried on the periphery of the turbine wheel 23. Second stage stationary and movable blades 21A, 22A are provided. The shaft 24 of the wheel 23 carries the permanent magnets 30 of the generator, which may be a 3-phase alternator. In modifications, the movable blades extend beyond the periphery of the wheel 23 and the jets are delivered parallel to the shaft 24 and the two sets of blades are spaced apart to accommodate the alternator between them.

Each portion 1 is formed with a curved wall 14 leading to the slot 11 and with a curved extension 13 beyond the slot, while at the other side of the slot is provided a deflector 10. The end sections of the elements are closed by plugs 3, so that the gases are forced to escape through the slots 11. Specification 430,134 is referred to.

Abstract: 593,818. Preventing incrustation. AUXILIAIRE DES CHEMINS DE FER ET DE L' INDUSTRIE. May 14, 1945, No. 12052. Convention date, Feb. 15, 1943. [Class 123 (i)] [Also in Group II] A liquid de-incrustant, &c. is supplied from a reservoir 2 to boiler feed-water, &c. in a locomotive tender, &c., 1 through a distribution reservoir 7 which communicates with the supply reservoir 2 through a ball-valve controlled opening 5 and with the tender 1 through a duct 14, sealed chamber 11 and discharge pipe 13. The tender is fitted with an air lock 9 which extends to the bottom thereof, where it is provided with a communicating opening 10, and has a pipe 8 leading from its upper end to the top of the distributor 7, the arrangement being such that the level of liquid in the distributor will normally be the same as that in the reservoir 2, but, upon the tender being filled, the resultant increased air pressure in the lock 9 acting upon the surface of the liquid in the distributor will first close the ball-valve in the opening 5 and then cause the liquid to be discharged through the pipe 13. The tender 1 and supply reservoir 2 are both open to atmospheric pressure, also the chamber 11 through a pipe 15 leading to the former, and as the water level in the tender falls so the pressure in the vessel 9 tends to return to atmospheric, whereupon the valve in the opening 5 lifts to permit the distributor 7 to be refilled and ready to function when the tender is to be filled again. In a modified construction the distributor 7 is mounted within the top of the tender and includes a float for controlling a valve in an opening between said distributor and supply reservoir.
