Abstract: 3266. Mitchell, A. Feb. 10. [Addition to 11,769/09.] Presses. - Comprises an improvement in or modification of the hydraulic press described in the parent Specification whereby the resultant pressure can be varied as desired. For varying the leverage of the levers G, sliding racks g<1> are simultaneously actuated by a pinion j. Connecting- rods m connect the slotted end of the rack with a block l carrying the lower pivots f<3> of the links f<2>, so that motion of the racks causes the block l to move to or from the fulcrum g<2> of the lever G, thereby altering the lever. A locking-pin l<1> or spring catch may be used for retaining the block l in any particular position. The spindle of the operating - handle is provided with a transverse shaft for simultaneously moving all four links f<2>. The upper sliding platen A is adjusted by means of tapped worm-wheels b which are concurrently actuated through chains d. Two arms s, s<1> carry the pulleys, chain t<2>, and handle t' for operating the worm b<1> irrespective of the position of the platen.

Title: Improvements in Rotary Fluid Pressure Machines.
Inventor: PITTLER WILHELM VON
IPC: F01C1/356
Filed: 1910-03-09
Granted: 1910-05-19
Abstract: 5909. Pittler, W. von. March 11, 1909, [Convention date]. Movable - abutment type, with outwardlys l i d i n g abutments. Pistons 3 project from either side of a central wheel and run in concentric annular chambers. Abutments 8 have perforations 9 which are moved outwards into register with the annular chambers by a pair of cams 11. After the pistons have passed, the abutments are returned quickly by a fluidpressed piston 14. The cam may have a continuous outer wall 11<11> and will then assist in the return of the abutments. Or, the outer wall may be removed in the neighbourhood of the eccentric portion 11<1>, Fig. 4, of the cam. Then the fluid pressure alone is used. If this fails, the cam-bowls on the abutments do not return to the cam-grooves but run upon the outer surface of the wall 11<11> and thereby the engine is rendered inoperative. If the engine is to run in alternative directions, either the abutment cams must have gradual slopes at both eccentric portions, as shown in Fig. 1, or separate cams of the shape shown in Fig. 4 may be arranged for alternative use. In the latter case the cams are carried by a sleeve splined to the stator and arranged to be moved axially by the reversing-gear. The abutments may be coupled to the crosshead of one piston or they may be fitted with separate pistons. These latter may be on the end covers and engage lugs projecting from the abutments through slots in the end covers.

Granted: 1912-03-23
Abstract: 7778. Wakefield, C. J. March 28. Adding-apparatus for recording each break in billiards on a segmental scale and for mechanically adding it to the previous score and simultaneously displaying the total score on a circular dial. A pointer g<1> working in a graduated slot and carried by a lever c indicates the separate breaks, while the lever c actuates, through a pawl d and ratchet-wheel b, a pointer a moving round a graduated dial, a non-reverse pawl e being provided. To release the pawl d from the wheel, it is moved one tooth in the reverse direction, thereby causing a pin d<2> to ride into engagement with the enlarged end i of a flat spring h. On being returned to zero the end i engages a stop j which releases the pin d<2> from the spring, the pawl being re-engaged with the ratchet-wheel by spring d<1>. The hub of the ratchet-wheel is grooved and surrounded by a spring n which acts against the forward rotation and so causes the teeth to bear against the pawl e in order to hold the wheel in such a position as to be alwavs engaged by the actuating-pawl d. In a modification, the pointer is operated from the ratchet-wheel by gearing, the increment scale being eccentric to the circular dial, and the arm h, instead of having an enlarged end, is itself bent to form a knuckle, above or below which the pin d<2> rests.

Abstract: 8476. Aves, H. April 5. Draught - excluders. - Relates to draughtexcluders of the kind in which a bar 13, fitted with a rubber tube 13<a>, is connected by bellcrank levers 24 to a sliding bar 26 which projects on the hinged side of the door or casement and is pressed back against the action of springs 25 when the door is closed so that the excluder 13 is forced on to the floor. According to the present invention, the projecting part of the sliding bar 26 consists of a push-piece 27, slotted at 30 to engage screws 28 on the bar 26, its inner end abutting against one end of a spring 29 the other end of which abuts against a member 33 on the bar 26. This construction allows independent motion of the push-piece if the movement of the bar 13 is obstructed. The mechanism is arranged in a casing 12 mounted on the face of, or in a recess in, the bottom of the door, and comprises a back plate 17, a cover-plate, and side-plates 18, which are secured by screws 19 to lugs 16 on the back-plate 17. To adapt the excluder to a narrower door, part of the back- and cover-plates, the upper lug 16, and lower screw 19, on the left-hand side are cut away, and the side-plate 18 is secured again by the lower screw 19 alone. The excluder may also be applied to folding doors and casements, grooved sill plates being used to receive the lower edge of the bar 13.

Abstract: 18,156. Warwick Machinery Co., [Vereinigte Dampfturbinen Ges.]. Aug. 10. Plant.-Steam after acting on the stage a of a turbine is led by a conduit e to a heating or cooking system. In the event of the exhaust steam being more than sufficient for the requirements of the heating system, the excess is by-passed through a valve d to a further turbine stage b. The valve d is operated by a servo-motor c, the pilot valve i of which is actuated by a piston h, subjected below to atmospheric presure and the pressure of an adjustable spring g, and above to a fluid pressure proportional to, but lower than, the pressure in the conduit e. This fluid pressure is transmitted through a pipe f containing a reducing- valve k.
