Abstract: 19,585. Dawson, Sir A. T., and Buckham, G. T. Aug. 27. [Cognate Application, 5537/13.] Ratchet gearing.-A step-by-step receiver for an electric signalling system has an armature which can be moved in either direction from its normal position, to which it is spring-returned, through an angle limited by a stop moving in a slot in the enclosing casing, and which carries two pawls E, F for moving the toothed wheel H one step for each oscillation. The idle pawl is removed from the wheel by the roller E<2> or F<2> to allow it to move back over the wheel H without turning it, and at the same time its tail serves to lift the detent pawl L or M off the wheel. The idle pawl is only removed after the armature has moved a short distance, to lock the wheel against jerky movement. In another form, the detent pawls L, M are dispensed with and a separate spring return for the armature is provided.

Granted: 1913-10-15
Abstract: 23,553. McHardy, R. H. Oct. 15. Turning-gear.-A spring 2 used to turn the engine drives the crank-shaft 3 through the hollow shaft 1 to which the spring is attached and through a one-way clutch 5. The spring - pressed pawls of the clutch are connected to a chain which expands under centrifugal action, when the engine is running, and assists in withdrawing the pawls from the ratchet-wheel. As the spring 2 unwinds, it moves a spring-pulled lever 22, which in turn moves a lever 20 to shift a conepiece 18 along a sleeve 12 loose on the crank-shaft. The cone-piece acts through a resilient rod 19 on a cam 17 to contract a band 15 on to a pulley 16 fast on the crank-shaft. When the spring is completely unwound, the band grips the pulley and winding of the spring 2 is effected through the pulley and band, sleeve 12, wheels 11, 8, spindle 7, and wheels 6, 4, the wheel 4 being fast on the shaft 1. The wheel 8 is loose on the spindle 7 and is connected thereto by a spring-pressed claw clutch 27. The spring 2 is held in its wound condition by a pawl engaging a ratchet-wheel 9 fixed to the wheel 8. The pawl is held up to its work by a torsion spring 26; to release the spring 2 the pawl is drawn axially until it lies against the side of the ratchet-wheel 9. Towards the end of the wind-up of the spring, a projection on the side of the wheel 9 lifts the pawl and allows the spring 26 to return it into engaging position with the teeth of the ratchetwheel. Posts 34, 33 are provided for winding-up the spring or starting the engine by hand.

Abstract: 8758. Steinschneider, L. April 14. Hydrocarbon oils, distilling. - Apparatus for distilling petroleum, tar, &c. under high vacuum, is provided with means for regulating the vacuum, for working the plant at atmospheric pressure, and for prev e n t i n g condensates from flowing back to the still. The plant comprises a still 1, condenser 2, pipes 13, 16 leading uncondensed vapours to a barometric condenser 17 in communication with an airpump 21, and a cooler 3, through which the condensates are led to a collector 4, whence they are withdrawn by a pump 7. In order to adjust the vacuum, the vapours are led through a liquid seal 15, and the depth to which the inlet pipe 14 is immersed in the sealing-liquid is adjusted in a suitable manner. This feature may be adapted to plant comprising a series of stills maintained under successively reduced pressures. A pressure lower than that existing in the condenser 2 is maintained in the collector 4 by means of a pipe 22 leading to the vacuum main 13; a certain amount of the condensate is in consequence re-evaporated. The pump 7 discharges condensate into a vessel 9 by an inlet a at a high level; a by-pass 11 and an outlet e leading to the reservoirs 10 communicate with the vessel 9 at low levels. By this arrangement, when the plant is not working under vacuum, condensate flows directly through the pipe 11 and vessel 9 to the reservoirs, without entering the discharge pipe 8 of the pump 7.
