Title: Improved separating- or distributing-device for liquids and element for building up such a separating- or distributing-device
IPC: B05B1/26
Filed: 1948-04-23
Abstract: A separating or distributing device which may be used, for example, for separating water <PICT:0652656/III/1> <PICT:0652656/III/2> drops from steam, consists of two elements provided with a central passage and, at the edges, with projections or teeth in such a way that when one element is placed upside down on the other in order to build up the device, the projections or teeth on one element interengage with those on the other, means being provided to keep the opposing projections or teeth at a certain distance from each other or to regulate the distance between the projections or teeth.  In the form according to Fig. 3 two such elements 1, 1a are correctly positioned and spaced apart by the engagement of four symmetrically-disposed stops on one element with four on the other; two stops are shown on each element.  The slits formed between the teeth preferably widen from outside to inside of the device.  When the elements are circular or regularly polygonal in plan, they may in each case all be made identical, provided that the ratio of the number of teeth to the number of stops of each element is a whole number, that the stops are arranged symmetrically to one another, and that a certain relation holds between the position of the stops and the position of the teeth. Such an element, having three dissimilar stops, is shown in Fig. 4.  The elements may be made of glass, porcelain, artificial resin, ebonite, iron, steel, copper or aluminium.  For the present use a metal structure is most suitable, and a half-moon-shaped cross-section of the teeth may be advantageous for the separation and discharge of the collected drops.  The elements may be elliptical. Instead of stops an upright uninterrupted collar or rib with apertures may be used in the interior of the device, projections and cups being preferably arranged at a few points on the collar for centering the elements.  This collar may be a separate member.

Abstract: 1350522 Bearings W & T AVERY Ltd 15 March 1972 [12 May 1971] 11934/72 Heading F2A [Also in Division Gl] In a dynamic balancing machine including an angular position indicator for determining the angular position of the unbalance, the test body 1, 10, or 39 is supported by at least one hydrostatic bearing, and displacement of the test body within its bearing due to the unbalance is measured. The machine may be for single or multi-plane balancing and holds the test body during correction of the unbalance as well as during measurement. In Fig. 6, a balance spindle 39 having a mounting 48 for a test body (not shown) is supported during unbalance measurement by hydrostatic bearings 40, 42, a thrust bearing 41 reacting the axial thrust of the conical bearing 40. To hold the test body stationary during correction of the unbalance, the fluid supply to bearings 40, 42 is cut off and a line 47 pressurized to move a piston 43 and the shaft 39 axially, bringing the conical surfaces of bearing 40 into frictional engagement. In a modification (Fig. 7, not shown), the thrust bearing 41 is replaced by a second conical hydrostatic bearing (50) tapering in the opposite sense to the first conical bearing (51). The various hydrostatic bearings may have any of the following forms:- In Fig. 1, pressure fluid is supplied through lines 3 to cavities 4 of a hydrostatic bearing 2, and passes across bearing gaps 6 to drain channels 7. Pressure transducers 9, 10 provide signals representative of the cyclically varying fluid pressure in the bearing 2 as a test body 1 rotates. In Fig. 2, a test body 10 is supported on rollers 12, at least one of which incorporates a hydrostatic bearing having a stationary core 13 carrying a bearing ring 19. In Fig. 4, the supply of pressure fluid through bores 30 is controlled by balls 27 which contact the test body 1 so that if the body moves towards one bore 30, the supply of fluid is increased to counter the deflection. A push-rod 28 of a transducer (not shown) contacts the ball 27. In Fig. 5, a spring-centred piston 33 in the fluid supply 32 is axially movable within a coil 36 to produce an oscillating electrical signal as the test body rotates. A needle valve 38 and a channel 37 through the piston control the sensitivity of the transducer.
