Title: Improvements in and relating to thrust bearings
IPC: F16C17/06
Filed: 1920-09-01
Abstract: 172,119. Parsons, Sir C. A., and Cook, S.S. Sept. 1, 1920. Thrust bearings.-A compensating thrust bearing comprises a member having an outwardly - divergent socket, and a plug member having correspondingly convergent surfaces fitting into the socket, such that differential expansion causes the plug member to enter to varying depths in the socket to prevent undue load. The invention is described as applied to a pivotedblock thrust bearing. Each pad consists of a body a, Fig. 2, with a white-metal facing d to form the rubbing surface, the opposite face being formed as a socket e into which fits a plug member h forming a holder for the pivot pin i. The socket may be circular or may run across the pad from side to side, in which case lugs o<1>, o<2> are fixed in the plug to fit in recesses in the member a to maintain the members in position. The socket member has the greater coefficient of expansion and may be of gun-metal, while the plug member is of steel. In a modification the parts a<2>, h<2>, Fig. 5, are both of steel formed as plug members and fit in sockets in the opposite faces of an intermediate gun-metal member r. Alternatively, gun-metal parts a<2>, h<2> may be formed on sockets to receive bevelled edges of an intermediate steel member. In a further modification, each bevelled surface is replaced by a series of bevelled surfaces arranged in step formation or in the same plane.

Abstract: 1396155 Removing oil from liquids SEACLEAN SA 2 June 1972 [4 June 1971] 25990/ 72 Heading B1D An oil layer 20 is removed from a water layer 19 by first increasing the depth of the oil layer 60 in relation to the water layer 59 by decreasing the surface area of the mixture. This may be achieved using a screw 47 of varying pitch arranged in a substantially horizontal position in the liquid mixture contained in the trough 51. Rotation of the screw forces the liquid from inlet 61 through a series of cells 52 of decreasing size and the oil layer which collects in recovery chamber 57 can be removed by means not shown, for example a pump. The shape of the bottom 53 of the trough and the positioning of the fixed walls 49 facilitates the flow of purified water into discharge channel 55. An alternative means of decreasing surface area is illustrated in relation to Fig. 11 (not shown) where a series of moveable walls are driven at variable speed in a closed loop. The treatment of oil on the sea by means of devices mounted on ships is described as well as fixed industrial and municipal installations.

[Class 100 (ii)] In an addressing or like series printing machine in which a series of printing devices is fed in sequence along a guideway through a number of dwell positions, the feeding means comprise reciprocating feed devices which make two feeding strokes in each machine cycle, in the first of which a printing device is fed from a first printing position to an idle position and in the second of which the device is fed from the idle position to a second printing position, several impressions being made in accordance with the device at the first printing position in a machine cycle while an impression is made from another device at the second printing position in the same cycle. The feed mechanism may be arranged to feed only a selection of the printing devices in the guideway in one of the feed strokes and all the devices in the other stroke. Before reaching the first printing position, the printing devices may dwell at a sensing position at which co-operating sensing devices set up similar type matter at the two printing positions, in accordance with particular characteristics of the printing device. When printing plates are to be skipped, the printing platen at the first printing position is rendered inoperative to print and acts through a timing device to render the printing platen at the second printing position also inoperative.

An oscillating-vane hydraulic actuator, particularly for operating a ship's rudder, comprises a hub 20, Fig. 3, having a bore formed with a keyway for connection to the rudder post and flanges 22, 23 between which is formed an annular chamber of semicircular cross-section sub-divided by a plurality of vanes secured to the hub and a plurality of abutments, secured to a cylindrical housing 27 into a number of pressure chambers into which hydraulic pressure fluid may be supplied and withdrawn through annular passages 49, 54 and bores in the housing, not shown. The vanes, 28, 29, 30, are freely mounted in grooves formed in the curved hub surface to eliminate fixing bolts and are each formed with a peripheral groove mounting an endless sealing ring. Similarly, abutments three in number, one 31 shown, are freely mounted in grooves in the housing 27 and again endless sealing rings are mounted in peripheral grooves in the abutments. The abutments are axially located in the housing by means of guide rings 43, 53 fitting in counter-bores in the ends of the housing. Gland rings with packing beneath are secured to the rings 43, 53. Comparing the semicircular, cross-section area pressure chamber with the usual rectangular cross-section chamber, the centre of area of the chamber is farther from the hub axis with consequential increase in torque on the rudder and decrease in bending stresses on the abutments.

Abstract: 1,145,533. Web coating apparatus. MARIUS MARTIN. 14 June, 1966 [17 June, 1965], No. 26358/66. Heading D1L. Apparatus for coating a travelling web, particularly for applying glue to the crests of corrugated cardboard prior to its lamination, comprises an applicator roll 1 partially submerged in a bath of coating material, a doctor roll 2 acting on the applicator roll, and means adjusting the distance between the axes of the rolls to control the transfer of coating material to the web, the adjustment being controlled by comparison of information received from the web speed and the distance between the axes. In operation, the distance between the axes of the rolls is initially set manually to give the preferred transfer of coating material to the web. A tachometric dynamo machine (10), Fig. 2 (not shown), coupled to the shaft of the applicator roll (1) emits a voltage controlled by the speed of the roll and feeds the voltage to an electronic system; a potentiometer (12) controlled by the distance between the axes of rolls (1) and (2) emits a voltage opposed to that of the dynamo machine (10) and feeds the voltage to the same electronic system. The electronic system compares the voltages received and attempts to reduce or eliminate any difference by acting upon a motor (8) which by means of planet gearing (27) and bell cranks (9) adjusts the distance between the axes of the rolls (1) and (2) in accordance with the desired transfer of coating material. The distance is adjusted so that the thickness of the film of coating material on the roll (1) decreases as the speed of the web increases.
