Granted: 1902-02-13
Abstract: 8956. Rees, E. S. G. May 1. Dynamos ; motors. -Relates to the construction of two-pole and multipolar dynamos and motors of the ironclad and enclosed types, having radial magnet limbs, and more particularly to means for facilitating the removal of the field magnets and armature without interfering with the alignment of the bearings, and, in the case of enclosed machines, for facilitating inspection of the working parts. Figs. 1 and 2 show the invention as applied to a four-pole machine, but a two-pole machine of similar construction is also described. Frames ; field magnets.-The armature shaft is mounted in bearings, the lower halves or housings of which are cast in one with, or rigidly fixed to, a frame A, which extends underneath and round the sides of the magnet yoke, and encloses the working parts up to the level of the armature shaft. The magnet yoke B is supported by lugs b on faces or projections c, formed in opposite sides of the frame, and the parts are secured together by bolts d. In the case of large machines, the magnets are divided transversely into halves as shown, but in small machines this is unnecessary. Brush-holders.-For supporting the brushes, an adjustable ring C, carrying studs or arms e, is secured to the interior of the frame or to one of the bearings ; this ring may be constructed in two parts, bolted together. Casings.-The machine may be completely enclosed by applying a cover D, which rests upon or is hinged to the frame A. This cover may be provided with a hinged door E to give access to the commutator and brushes. Armatures, dismounting.-After removing the upper half of the field magnets B, the armature can be readily dismounted. If the magnet yoke is undivided, the magnet and armature are removed together, and the armature is then drawn out endways.

Title: Improvements in and connected with Bearings for Shafts, Axles, Spindles, Pulleys and the like.
Inventor: HILDERSLEY DANIEL
Filed: 1902-06-24
Granted: 1902-10-23
Abstract: 14,290. Hildersley, D. June 24. Brasses; adjusting bearings.-A brass or bearing for shafting, spindles, axles, pulleys, &c. is made in sections so arranged that they may be efficiently closed together to take up wear. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, four brasses, two angular side brasses C, D, and top and bottom brasses A, B are fitted together. When the brasses A, B are moved towards each other, the brasses C, D are caused to approach each other, so that the four brasses are adjusted simultaneously. Curved springs P secured to the brasses C, D may be arranged to press against the brasses A, B. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 3, the brass is made in four sections E, F, G, H and tongues J engage slots in the adjoining edge of the sections. The ends of the tongues may be bent over to retain the lubricant, and to act as flanges if the brass is formed without flanges. The tongues may be dispensed with. By pressing down the upper part of the plummer block, the sections are all pressed inwardly to take up wear. The joints between the sections may be arranged vertically and horizontally, and the seating in the plummer block made so as to force the sections in uniformly towards the centre. In another arrangement, shown in Fig. 6, the bottom brass is made in three sections B', B', B<3>, the centre one B<2> of which can be raised up by packing with tin, cardboard, &c. The cover S of the plummer-block R is held down by a pressure plate T, secured to it by means of a stud U<1>, which may be bored for lubricating purposes. Nuts X on the adjusting-screws serve to fix the position of the plate. The brasses or sections may be cylindrical or angular to fit the seatings in the blocks, and the backs of the brasses C, D may be curved to fit corresponding faces on the brasses A, B. In another arrangement, the brass may be made in three sections, the bottom brass fitting the plummer block and the other two brasses made of angular shape to engage seatings in the cover, or the angular brasses may be fitted in the block and the single brass in the cover. According to the Provisional Specification, sections formed as segments of a circle may fit the plummerblock, the flat faces taking against the brasses. The bearing may be applied to a lathe mandrel, the adjusting-bolts being arranged vertically or horizontally.

Abstract: 17,498. Newton, H. E., [Worthington, H. R.]. Aug. 8. Steam turbines.-An elevated injector or jet condenser for the exhaust of steam engines, tur- bines, &c. is shown in Figs. 1 and 2. The steam enters at c, travels up the tube B, down through the valve 11, and meets the condensing water, which passes from the pipe D, through the pipe 16 into the annular chamber 10 in the cone A, and then through the spaces between the spraying teeth on the bottom of the valve 11 and down the tail pipe H into the hot well I. The pipe H is supported at its upper end as shown, and passes through a stuffing-box or an expanding metal joint 17, into the hot well. Any water collecting above the joint 17, is drawn off by the pump K, and any air or uncondensed vapour is drawn off by the pump G through the pipe 12, the end of which is provided with a hood 13. This air and vapour may be passed through a cooler F, consisting of a series of pipes placed in the condensing-water pipe D, and connected by a drain pipe L with the hot well.

Abstract: 23,911. Jensen, B. J. Nov. 1. Pap e r bags. - Relates to machines for the manufacture of paper bags, in which the edges of the movable creasers are parallel with the direction of motion of the belts carrying the bags. Figs. 1 and 4 show the blank and finished bag. Fig. 6 is a section of the machine on the vertical dotted line shown in Fig. 5. The blanks are placed from the table q on to the endless band m consisting of a number of parallel strips, driven from the shaft h by gear wheels o and rollers p. The band carries the blank below a roller which glues the flap d, and over the rollers s, rotated by gear wheels u from the shaft t. The creaser plate x, carried by arms w pivoted at v and connected by the rod z to the arm 1, is moved down by the cam 2 on the shaft t, and carries the blank between the rollers s, which crease it along the line b, Figs. 1 and 4. In order that the glued flap d shall not touch the rollers s, one of the rollers is pulled aside when the flap passes by the pivoted lever 3, operated by the cam 7 on the shaft t. The folded blank is caught in a slit 8, and is struck on the line c by a creaser plate 10 mounted on the pivoted arm 9, connected by the rod 13 to the arm 1. The glued flap d is folded by one of the rollers s and the roller 14, pressed against it by the spring 15 and roller 16. The bag passes a roller which glues the flap f, through the slit 17, and is caught by the rollers 19, 20 and carried on to the endless band 18, consisting of several parallel strips, below which are rollers 21, 22. The creaser plate 24, carried by the pivoted arms 23 and operated by the cam 27, creases the bag on the line e, and presses it between the rollers 21, 22, which fold the flap f. The bag is caught between the rollers 30, 33, and is delivered from the machine by means of the endless bands 28, 29. Guide-rails, adjustable for bags of different sizes and operated by cams or other mechanism, feed the blanks to the creaser plates x, 10, 24.
