Title: Improvements in or relating to Turbines.
Inventor: WEISS CARL WILLIAM
Filed: 1910-10-31
Granted: 1911-05-04
Abstract: 25,314. Weiss, C. W. Oct. 31. Working-fluid supply.-A turbine comprises a disk e<1>, Fig. 3, upon which a number of blades e<4> are mounted, forming a number of chambers e<5>, Fig. 1. Impulse blades e<3> are mounted near the outer periphery of each chamber. The rotor turns clockwise. Air is drawn into the chambers e<5> at h by centrifugal action. As each chamber passes a nozzle h<4>, steam generated in the water jacket is admitted. Hot air then acts upon the blades e<3> from a nozzle k<2> leading from a U-shaped chamber k, k<1> in which a burner g is situated. As each chamber e<5> passes a port l<2> the compressed air escapes, adding another impulse to the rotor. The air in the chamber e<5> is then at atmospheric pressure but at a high temperature. On reaching a chamber m, the air has cooled and therefore has become rarefied. The equalisation of pressures is stated to cause another flow of air, thereby adding an additional impulse. Atmospheric air then flows in by way of a nozzle n<2>, and the above cycle of operations is repeated. Condensation water, collecting.-Water of condensation is drawn off through a pipe o by means of a pump operated from the turbine shaft.

Granted: 1912-06-20
Abstract: 16,665. Arkinstall, J., and Dean, W. July 20. Mules.-In a device designed to replace the usual quadrant, weights A, Fig. 4, at the end of a chain A', which passes over guide-pulleys and is wound upon a drum M, are used to rotate the tin rollers during the winding-on of the yarn &c. At the end of the outward run, the chain is wound up on the drum M through gearing C, B by a rack D, which is moved relatively to the carriage P by contacting with a stop J. As the carriage runs in, the weights fall and rotate the drum M, and through it the tin rollers L and the spindles. The speed of the tin rollers is controlled by a spring brake G, Fig. 7, acting on a wheel F on the tin roller shaft, such brake being acted on by an arm T carried by the counterfaller shaft and depressed when the tension on the yarn is too great. If the yarn is too slack, a bowl W on the end of an arm I on the counterfaller shaft engages the underside of a slide H on the frame and helps to support the usual weights connected with the counterfaller.

Abstract: 6558. Barth, C. March 16. Gear - cutting. - The mechanism for generating the tooth curve of a bevel-gear shaping- machine is compounded o f t w oscillatory motions, one of which is derived from the other by sun-and-planet mechanism. The machine described is of the type in which the table 3, Fig. 1, carrying the blank 9 is oscillated about the vertical axis 4, and the blank is correspondingly oscillated about its axis 10; the cutter reciprocating and adjusting mechanism and the indexing-gear are also described. A shaft 59, capable of fast and slow speeds, is connected by a crank and a connecting-rod 66 with a slide 67; this slide carries a rack 72, Fig. 4, which drives a pinion keyed to the shaft 70 of the table 3. The slide 67 carries a pin 73, which engages a yoke lever 74, which carries on the opposite side a radially adjustable block 75 engaging a slide 77; this slide carries a rack which oscillates a sun-wheel 79, which engage$a a planet sector 80 carried by a shaft 81 carried by the table and connected bv bevelgearing with the blank. The two cutter rams 36, Fig. 1, are mounted upon a slide 39, which is movable in arcuate guides in a bed 40 which in turn is movable in arcuate guides 13', the apex 6 of the pitch cone being the centre of each arc. The rams are reciprocated bv cranks 34 driven by bevel-gearing from a flexible shaft which is driven through clutches and change gearing from the main shaft of the machine. The work is indexed by a worm 88, driven through change gearing from a shaft 90, Fig. 13, which is driven through a one-revolution clutch controlled by a pin 94. This pin is tripped by a catch 128, which is actuated by a pawl 126 in the movement in one direction of a rod 122 operated by a controlling-cam 123. The cutting-tools are put out of action during the return movement of the generating - mechanism ; this is done by controlling the clutch for the cutter mechanism from the rod 122.

Abstract: 13,703. Parr, T. D. June 11. Vaporizers external. -Liquid fuel is vaporized in an elongated chamber a of circular, semicircular, or other cross - section by hot gases passing through an outer casing g in an opposite direction to that of the fuel, practically straight or unobstructed passages being provided for the fuel and the heating- medium, and means being furnished for graduating the heating effect along the chamber. In the construction shown, the heat is graded by a non-conducting lining d of varying thickness, either tapered or in parallel stepped sections, but in a modification, the temperature of the heating-medium is reduced by its expansion in the casing g, which is then tapered, being formed of alternate parallel and conical sections. The heating-medium is introduced at n, and leaves the casing g, which may be covered by a non-conductor, by the passage o; its temperature may be thermostatically controlled. The floor of the chamber a may be flat, corrugated, formed with inclined ridges, or arranged as shown with divisions b of decreasing height, which may be hollow and packed with non- conducting material. Fuel fed through the inlet h is fractionally vaporized under pressure or in vacuo by exhaust gases from the engine, or by heat produced by burning a portion of the vapour generated or by a separate lamp or heater, the more volatile constituents being vaporized in the first compartments a', a<2>, &c., where the temperatures are lowest, and remaining viscous material being drawn off at p. Projections b<1> prevent backward movement of the vapour. A blow-lamp may be passed through valve openings m, and spirit may be introduced through openings in the upper part of the casing g and burnt therein, air being supplied through the passage o, for initially heating the apparatus. The pipe k may be fitted with a safety-valve. Air and volatile spirit are introduced through inlets j, l for starting.
