Title: Improvements in Recording Mechanism for Weighing Apparatus.
Inventor: INGREY CHARLES
IPC: G01G3/04
Filed: 1912-04-24
Granted: 1912-08-08
Abstract: 9663. Ingrey, C. April 24. Summing and differencing movements of varying extent.-Relates to registering-apparatus of the kind described in Specification 25,765/99, [Class 143, Weighing-apparatus], for indicating and totalizing the weights of material passed into a weighing - machine, and consists in an arrangement whereby errors due to vibration of the machine are obviated. The load draws down a cross-beam e against the resistance of springs e<Î>, leaving behind a vertically-guided rackcarrier i<1> until this is allowed to descend by the opening of a pair of pincers u<1> operated from a moving part of the weighing-machine. The rackcarrier then descends, retarded by a dash-pot n, until arrested by the contact of a knife-edge l<2> on the rack-carrier with a pin c<4> on the cross-beam e. During this descent, a pinion s is rotated, and the movement is transferred to a pointer indicating cwts. on a dial. On the rise of the rack-carrier, the return of the pointer is avoided by means of a free-wheel device r. A series of tons counting-drums records each revolution of the indicating- pointer. In a modification, an additional hand indicates the amount of each weighing and then returns to zero.

Patent GB-191214442-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Expression Controlling Means of Pneumatic Musical Instruments.
Inventor: BROWN THEODORE PARKER
Filed: 1912-06-20
Granted: 1913-04-03
Abstract: 14,442. Brown, T. P. June 20. Expression, controlling; blowing and exhausting air.-Relates to an expression-controlling device of the class in which the action may be connected to exhaust either through a governed passage or through an ungoverned passage for accentuating purposes. According to the present invention, means are provided whereby the normal connexion may be either through both the governed and ungoverned passages, or through the governed passage only, as the performer desires. In the first case, the ungoverned connexion may be closed, and in the second case, the ungoverned connexion may be opened by the performer. The wind-chest may be divided into several independently-controlled sections. A governor 12 is shown in Fig. 5, and comprises a bellows having a port 13<a> controlled by the moving-board 15. The collapse of a pneumatic (not shown) rotates a cranked wire 13<b> to open the valve 13 and so provide an ungoverned connexion between the action and exhaust. This pneumatic is controlled by a device shown in top and bottom plan views in Figs. 2 and 3, and in cross-section in Fig. 4. The two sets of ports 18, 19 in the board 17 connect with two channels in communication respectively with valves controlling the pneumatics for operating the treble and bass valves 13. A member 24<a>, pivoted at 22, extends above and below the board 17, which has sheets of sheep-skin 20, 21 on its upper and lower surfaces. The upper and lower parts of the member 24<a> are Y- shaped, as shown in Figs. 2 and 3, ports 25, 25<1> being provided in the arms of the upper part which, as shown in Fig. 2, register with the ports 18 in one position of the member 24<a>. Pushes 30, 30<1> are adapted to operate spring- members 28 carrying pads 29 for closing the ports 25, 25<1>. The arms 26, 26<1> of the lower part of the member 24<a> normally close the ports 19 in both positions of the member 24<a>. With the adjustment of the member 24<a> shown in Fig. 2, the notes are played loudly, as air passes through the ports 25, 25<1> to open valves for exhausting pneumatics which open the valves 13. By depressing the push 30 the pad 29 closes the port 18, causing the valve 13 to close, and subduing the bass notes. By depressing the push 30<1>, the treble notes are subdued. If the handle 35 is operated to rotate the member 24<a> through a small angle, the ports 25, 25<1> are closed and air is cut off from the controlling-devices of the valves 13, which are therefore normally closed. The extensions of the members 26, 26<1> engage the buttons 32<1>, so that if the push 30 is operated, the corresponding button 32<1> depresses the member 26 to open the port 19, causing the valve 13 to be opened for accentuating the bass notes. By operating the push 30<1>, the treble notes may be accentuated. A stop 36 is provided to limit the movement of the member 24<a>. A pneumatically-operated sectional rest-rail, controlled by push-buttons, is mentioned.

Title: Improvements in Turbines.
Inventor: REEDE ADRIANUS ANTHONIE WILTON
IPC: F01D1/30
Filed: 1912-11-22
Granted: 1913-11-20
Abstract: 26,922. Reede, A. A. W. van. Nov. 22. Oppositely - running rotor type; reversing.- Oppositely - running rotors c, e, Figs. 1 and 4, mounted upon shafts b, f, are provided with rings c<1>, e<1>, Figs. 1, 4, and 5, in each of which two sets of fluid-passages are formed. These sets are used alternatively according to the direction of rotation required. Valve rings o, o<1> are free to move longitudinally on spindles fixed to the rotor e. Light springs p, p<1> tend to press the valves against the rotor. In the valves are ports q, q<1> leading respectively to the forward and reverse running fluidpassages. For forward running, steam is admitted at m and m<1>, and after traversing the blades is exhausted centrally at i. The steam in its passage assists the spring p in holding the valves o against the face of the outer rings e<1>, thus closing all the reverse running fluid passages. The steam forces the valve o<1> away from the rotor, thus giving a wide opening for the exhaust. For reverse-running the inlet and exhaust ports are interchanged and the steam flows in the opposite direction. The valves o<1> are thereby closed and the valves o opened. The invention is applicable to turbines other than those of the oppositely-running rotor type.

Granted: 1914-03-12
Abstract: 8726. Shaw, H. S. Hele-, Beacham, T. E., and Rickwood, H. J. April 14. Intensifiers.-Relates to valve mechanism for hydraulic intensifiers of the differential-ram type. The automatic valve V, Fig. 1, controls the admission of pressure water to the two ends of the differential-ram 2, the passage 23 leading to the press or press tool. The incompressible fluid is forced into the cylinder 4 by way of the passages 26, 27, forcing up the disk valve 7 against the light spriug 17. The valve is not allowed to seat on the rim 29, so that fluid is admitted behind the valve, and it is also admitted by way of the flat 31 on the spindle to the upper end of this spindle. The downward force due to the pressure fluid is resisted by the spring 14. As the pressure in the cylinder 4 reaches its limit and the flow ceases, the valve 7 closes on the seating 33, and the pressure fluid above the spindle 30 forces this spindle down, and opens the port 35 to the pressure fluid, which passes through a pipe 19 to the underside of the piston 2, thus intensifying the pressure in the cylinder 4.
