Title: Improvements in the Method of and Apparatus for Governing Fluid Pressure Impulse Motors.
Inventor: MACFARLANE JAMES WRIGHT
Filed: 1902-10-07
Granted: 1903-01-08
Abstract: 21,774. Macfarlane, J. W. Oct. 7. Impact-wheels. - Relates to the governing of fluidpressure impulse motors, such for example as Pelton wheels, by regulating the orifice of the jet. (i) One form of the nozzle is shown in section in Fig. 3. The conical plunger A<6> by which the area of the nozzle is to be adjusted is carried by a plunger A<5> and is acted on by a spring and by a portion of the pressure fluid in a chamber A'. The main supply of fluid enters at A<2>, and a portion leaks through small openings B into the chamber A<4> whence it escapes past a valve B<5>, through the chamber B<3> and pipe B' into the motor casing. The escape of the fluid, and therefore the position of the regulating plunger A<6>, is controlled by the valve B', which is adjusted by the turning of the pulley C by a centrifugal governor when the speed tends to become excessive. (ii) The centrifugal governor may be of any suitable kind, or of the special construction shown in Fig. 5. In this, two discs are mounted side by side on the motor shaft, one disc being keyed thereto and the otber disc loose. The keyed disc carries the spring-supported and spring-controlled friction blocks D<5>, D<6> which, when a certain speed is reached, come into contact with an annular flange on the loose disc and carry it round frictionally. To this disc is connected a pulley C', and a chain C<2> passing over this transmits the movement of the pulley C by which the nozzle controlling valve is actuated. The pulley C is also acted on by a spring tending to rotate it so as to open the valve wide; this spring prevents too sudden an action of the friction blocks. A modification is shown in which the conical plunger A<6> is operated by an enlarged piston without a spring.

Title: Improvements in Closures for Receptacles.
Inventor: LANDSBERGER JULIUS ANTONIUS
Filed: 1904-12-23
Granted: 1905-03-02
Abstract: 28,288. Landsberger, J. A. Dec. 23. Stoppers; capsules, bottle &c.- Relates more particularly to closures in which a separate retaining-band is employed for securing the cap or cover to the receptacle. To enable the closure to be handled, transported, &c. without the parts becoming separated, the cover and band are connected together by a packing-ring, which is caused to adhere to both, either by glue or cement, or by making the ring of a suitable material or composition, for example, a composition made of crude rubber, talc, asbestos, and guttapercha, which can be softened by heat and then caused to adhere to the cover and band. In the latter case, the adhesion may be effected by heating the cover. In the form shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the packing-ring P is confined between the depending flange 4 of the band B and the depending part 2 of the cover C, the central part 1 of the cover being cupped, so that, when the closure is applied, as shown in Fig. 2, to a tin can or other vessel, the packing-ring is protected from free contact with the contents. In the form shown in Fig. 6, however, the cover consists of a flat disc. In the form shown in Fig. 5, the jar R has a rim 9 projecting above the washer seat 7, and the cover is shaped to correspond. The depending flange 4 of the band B may be bent under the rim or shoulder 8 of the vessel ; or, when applied to a tumbler, as shown in Fig. 7, it may merely be pressed on to the vessel so that the packing is forced downwards between the flanges of the cover and the sides cf the tumbler, thus wedging the cover in position. The band B may be of any of the known forms ; for example, its ends may be secured by a soldered opening-strip, or by a tongue and eye &c, The covers may also be applied by the vacuum process, the flange of the band B being turned under the shoulder 8 for additional security. The covers, with the exception of that shown in Fig. 6, are applicable for use as ordinary covers after the retaining-band has been removed.
