Title: Improvements relating to Explosion Turbines.
Inventor: RETZ EUDES ALFRED FRANCOIS DE
Filed: 1905-12-02
Granted: 1906-08-23
Abstract: 25,049. Retz, E. A. F. de. Dec. 16, 1904, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Explosive-gas actuated pumps. - A turbine is worked by a volume of water which is forced through a bucket wheel by the explosion of gases above it. Subsequently the water is sent back through a large opening in the wheel by the pressure of the exhaust. The rotor e, Fig. 1, attached to the main shaft a, has openings h, i, Fig. 3, the former being the larger. The openings i, of which there is an even number, have below them, fixed to the rotor e, curved vanes f. A fixed plate directly above the rotor e contains an uneven number of guide passages d, above each of which is a combustion chamber b. At the moment of explosion, water fills part of the chamber b with gas above. The explosion forces the water through one of the openings i and drives the rotor, and the water and gases then passing through the wheel go to the reservoir k. Immediately after the explosion, the rotation of the wheel e cuts off communication between the combustion chamber and the reservoir, and in that instant cold water from a radiator l is forced by the pressure in the reservoir k into and condenses the steam in the combustion chamber. This causes the entrance of a new charge, at a pressure below that in the reservoir. One of the large openings h then appears below the combustion chamber, and the pressure in the reservoir k forces water through this opening back into the combustion chamber, compressing the charge for the next explosion.

Patent GB-190617462-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Printing or Marking Cheques or other Articles
Inventor: WARE ALFRED JOHN
Filed: 1906-08-02
Granted: 1907-08-02
Abstract: 17,462. Ware, A. J. Aug. 2. Typewriters and like machines; platen presses; inking-apparatus; impression surfaces.-A chequeprinting device has means which, after the numberdisks 4 have been set to the required amounts by separate handles 12, cause the platen 13 to rise and press the cheque &c., which is nipped between spring-controlled holding-devices 46 and the platen, against the numbers. On the return movement of the operating-handle, the printing-disks are either returned to their normal position, or not, as desired. An inking-pad 27, carried by levers 30, inks the required numbers before the commencement of the platen movement. The handles 12 are set opposite the required numbers marked on the edges of the slots in the casing 1, and the type-wheels 4 are prevented from being returned by springs 5 through the action of small rollers 8 at the end of pivoted spring-controlled levers 50. A shaft 26 is then turned by the operating-handle, and this moves the pad 27 to ink the bottom row of numbers &c. through the action of levers 33, pivoted at 33', and levers 30, guided by the curved slot 30<1> engaging a pin 31. The compound levers 35, 37 are so adjusted by screws 38 that, as soon as the pad 27 has inked the numbers, the levers 37 slip past the pins 33<2> and allow the levers 33 to spring back under the action of springs 34, until stopped by rubber pads 35. At the same time, pins in the cranks 25 have moved to the ends of slots in the levers 24, and these levers begin to lift the platen 13 through the toggle mechanism 18, 19. The platen on its upward movement first clamps the cheque under the bars 46. Further upward movement compresses the springs 45, and lifts the bars 42 carrying a cross-bar 41 on which are mounted spring-pressed plungers 53, which are lifted above the tails 50<1> of the levers 50. Further upward movement of the platen simply compresses the springs 48 by the plungers 42 until the cheque &c. is pressed by a rubber impression strip 14 against the type. On the return movement, after the cheque has been removed from the wheels 4, the bar 41 is lowered and the plungers 53 depress the tails 501 and lift the rollers 8 away from the typewheels, allowing them to return to zero. Cams on the type - wheels engage with stops 56 on the plungers 53 and release the levers 50 in readiness for the next setting. If repeat numbering is required, a bar 59 with inclined slots engaging with screws is shifted to hold the plungers 53 out of engagement with the levers 50, and the wheels 4 thus remain set as long as desired.

The flues are of an inverted U-shape and are arranged in pairs so that two air flues, Fig. 1, alternate with two gas flues b. The air and gas from the main flues c, d, respectively, enter at the bottoms of the rising branches of the U -tubes and are discharged through outlets a<1>, b<1> at the sides of the lower ends of the other branches into combustion passages in communication with radial flues in the floor which communicate in turn with a central opening, whence the products pass through the kiln to the outlet f<3>. The supply of air, which may be under pressure, and the supply of gas are regulated by dampers, and each rising branch of a pair of air flues is, preferably, independently connected with the main conduit while the adjoining rising branches of the gas flues may be connected together and supplied from the gas-main. In preference to brickwork, the flues are formed of sections of fireclay, plumbago, or other refractory material. In the form of gas flue shown in Fig. 3, the common inlet piece g<1> and the outlet piece g<3> are connected together by pipes g' and a bend g<2>. Figs. 7 and 8 show the air flue elements, the inlet piece h<1> being independently connected to the air supply. The bends g<2>, h<2> and the outlet pieces g<4>, h<4> are preferably interchangeable, so that they may be used for gas or air flues, and, to economize space, the faucet ends of the sections on one side are set below those on the other. A modified form of inlet piece for air or gas flues is shown in Fig. 13.
