Title: Improvements in or relating to Tanks and Receptacles for Storage of Inflammable Liquids.
Inventor: LUNN GUSTAV
IPC: A62C3/06
Filed: 1912-03-01
Granted: 1912-11-21
Abstract: 5213. Lunn, G. March 4, 1911, [Convention date]. Fires, preventing in receptacles for inflammable liquids; fire-extinguishing in oil tanks. -In tanks &c. in which inflammable liquid is protected by a float, a narrow air space or a non-airtight joint is provided between the edge of the float and the wall of the tank. In order to prevent sparking between the surface of the liquid and the wall of the tank, the surface of the float is in electric connexion with the wall. In the form of packing shown in Fig. 4, the joint is made by means of a tube f formed of a thin sheet-metal strip helically wound, with the edges of the convolutions overlapping one another. The packing may consist of a tube pierced with holes or slots, through which a fire-extinguishing substance, such as water, carbon dioxide, sulphur dioxide, &c. may be discharged. The float may be counterbalanced, and may be provided with rollers running along guide-rails. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) also describes the following features. The float is provided with a rim along the edge, whereby a receptacle is formed to contain water or other cooling-medium. The floor of the premises may be sloped and provided with drainage pipes &c. to conduct overflowing liquid to the tank. The supply-aperture may be arranged in such a way that the liquid, when being filled in, distributes itself in a thin layer over the float, so that any electric charge in the liquid is conducted to the float and from there to the tank and ground. This subjectmatter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Abstract: 10,088. Scott, I. April 29. Leaf-turners.-In a leaf-turner having spring- actuated arms 7, each arm is maintained in the operative position at the right-hand side of the device by a loop 8 on the arm engaging over the end 19 of a lever 18, Figs. 1 and 2. To release the arm 7, the lever 18 is tilted by a cam-like 'projection 37 extending from a socket 35 carried on a rotatable square spindle 22. Means are provided for lifting the spindle 22 as it rotates, so that the socket 35 and projection 37 are also raised while rotating so as to tilt the lever 18. The levers 18 are actuated by separate cams 37 which are brought successively under the ends of the levers 18 by the rotation of the spindle 22. The spindle 22 is rotated step by step by a finger-piece 34, Fig. 1, connected to a link 31 carrying a pawl 29 pivoted to a lever 28, which is pivoted on the lower end of the spindle 22. A spring 30 keeps the pawl 29 in engagement with a toothed wheel 23 fixed to the spindle 22. Fixed to the base 1 of the leaf-turner and below the wheel 23 is a wedge 26, Fig. 5, which lifts the wheel 23 and cams 37 when the spindle 22 is rotated The tension of the springs that rotate the arms 7 can be adjusted by a rotatable disk 41 held in position by an arm 13 having a projection at its end engaging in holes in the disk 41. The arms 7 can all be turned simultaneously to the right by a lever 48, which is formed with a rack at its inner end engaging a toothed wheel to which a vertical arm is attached. Movement of the lever 48 rotates the toothed wheel and swings the vertical arm to the right, carrying the leaf-turning arms 7 with it.

The outer casing 1, Fig. 1, is divided into suction and delivery chambers 3, 4, by bridges 2 and the revolving cylinder body 5. The upper bridge is given a larger overlap 21 than the lower bridge so that the shock due to liquid pressure precedes the shock due to suction on the opposite side. Adjustable liners 20 are also provided. The opposite pistons 7 are rigidly connected in pairs, each piston structure being in engagement with a separate ring 13, mounted upon a common eccentric pin 11. A lubrication passage 16 is provided. A modification is described in which there are two rotors such as 5, Fig. 1, arranged side by side. Fig. 5 shows one method of varying the eccentricity of the fixed pin and consequently the stroke of the pistons. Two sleeves 56, 57 are eccentric relatively to the axis of the machine, and are rotatable relatively to one another, by means of the internally toothed flange 59 and pinions 60, 61. The eccentricity may thus be varied between zero and the sum of the eccentricities of the sleeves 56, 57. In Fig. 7, the pin 68 is shown attached to sliding plates 69, and is moved by turning the screw 70 which operates in a tapped hole in the pin.
