Granted: 1913-03-27
Abstract: 7905. Shann, M. H. Churchill-. April 2. Blades, vanes, nozzles, and the like.-To provide a slow-speed elastic-fluid turbine having only one ring of moving blades, the relative proportions of P, the pitch of the nozzles, PW, the pitch width of the nozzles, WB, the width of the blades, and PB, the pitch of the blades, are so adjusted that, firstly, the motive fluid does not blow through the blades too freely while they are passing a nozzle, and secondly the blades have time to empty themselves of excess pressure before reaching the next nozzle, thus presenting a substantially inert cushion of fluid to the incoming fluid from the nozzle. Figs. 1 and 4 show suitable maximum and minimum limits for WB in relation to the other dimensions, that shown in Fig. 4 giving a higher speed than that shown in Fig. 1. A slow-speed turbine is defined as one in which the speed of the moving blades is very considerably below half the speed of the working-fluid in the nozzles.

Title: Improvements in Teat Cups for Milking Machines.
Inventor: SABROE AXEL
IPC: A01J5/16
Filed: 1912-04-09
Granted: 1913-04-03
Abstract: 8408. Sabroe, A. April 9. Cow - milkers. - A teat-cup for a suction milking - machine is made with a chamber a at its base containing a piston g carrying a smaller piston e, the lower end of which is exposed to the atmosphere, and which is equal in diameter to the aperture b between the cup and the chamber a. The milk and suction pipe d communicates with both the upper and lower parts of the chamber a. When the milk ceases to flow, the outlet b of the cup is closed by the piston g as described in Specification 11,177/09. An air inlet h in the piston g or cup wall v then allows the pressure in the cup to rise until the pressure on the upper end of the piston g balances the atmospheric pressure on the piston e, and the suction beneath the piston g opens the passage b and allows any milk to escape, again producing vacuum in the cup and thus closing the passage b. A pulsating action is thus set up in the cup. The piston g may be replaced by a ball or diaphragm, the piston e being if necessary elongated to coact with it. If the chamber a is slightly enlarged so as to fit the piston &c. loosely, the upper passage f can be dispensed with.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Fluid Flow Meters.
IPC: G01F1/38
Filed: 1913-01-23
Granted: 1914-01-22
Abstract: 1914. British Thomson-Houston Co., [General Electric Co.]. Jan. 23. Liquid-stream indicators.-Relates to apparatus for measuring fluid flow which gives accurate readings at low velocities. The conduit 1, Fig. 1, is divided into two branches 3, 4, of unequal size. A pressure-difference nozzle 5 is inserted in the smaller tube, and is connected by pipes 6 to a meter 7 of any suitable construction. As shown, it consists of a U-tube 7<a> containing mercury, and provided with a pointer 7<c>, which, when set at the top of the mercury column, shows by the position of the point on the drum 7<d> the amount of fluid passing. The meter is calibrated so as to give the combined flow in the two branches 3, 4. The branch 3 contains a valve 8, which automatically closes or opens the passage, but cannot occupy any intermediate position. The movements of the piston 10, carrying the valve 8, are determined by the regulator valve 12, controlling the ports 14, the valve being actuated by the tappet 15 on the pistonrod 11, which strikes the collar 16 on the valverod about midway of its stroke. The supply of fluid to the valve is controlled by means responsive to the rate of fluid flow. A pressure difference nozzle 27 conducts fluid to the two sides of a diaphragm 20, which is pressed upwards by the spring 26 so as to close valve 22. If the fluid flow is large, the pressure in chamber x will rise, and valve 22 will be opened, thus admitting pressure fluid to the upper side of piston 10, and opening the valve 8. If the flow decreases, the valve 23 is opened, which results in the c'osing of valve 8, so that all the fluid passes through one conduit of small cross-section, thus increasing the velocity and enabling accurate readings to be obtained. In a modification, a valve is inserted in the smaller conduit also, controlled by pressure fluid from the valve-chest 13, so that normally all the fluid flows through the main conduit, and when the flow is small, it passes through the smaller conduit. In this case, two nozzle plugs, one in each conduit, must be connected to the meter. A modification is also described in which the regulator valve 12 is mechanically operated by a rod attached to the diaphragm.
