Abstract: 16,809. Soc. Anon. pour l'Exploitation des Precedes Westinghouse-Leblanc. Dec. 13, 1911, [Convention date]. Addition to 8527/12.] Balancing moving parts.-Rotary masses intended to be mounted finally in fixed bearings are initially balanced in the manner described in the parent Specification by mounting them in temporary bearings which allow the shaft to choose at any instant its own axis of rotation, and using, instead of mercury, tin or a fusible alloy or mercury with the addition of resin, which, solid at normal temperatures, may be rendered mobile by heating when the shaft is revolving at full speed under working conditions to enable the balance to be effected automatically as described in the parent Specification, being then allowed to cool while the conditions are maintained whereby a permanent balance is effected. The circular channels instead of being enclosed as when adapted to contain mercury, may be in the form of grooves a open towards the interior and secured to the drum &c., as shown in Fig. 1. Where the rotor comprises several wheels, such wheels may be first balanced separately in the manner described above, and then, when assembled, finally balanced by heating again the two end grooves. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) refers also to the use of vaseline to damp the movements of the mercury in the arrangement described in the parent Specification; this subject - matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Granted: 1914-02-26
Abstract: 21,891. Miller, T. S. Sept. 29. Actuating; combinations of interdependent valves.-In the transhipment of goods &c. at sea by a fixed cableway with traversing ropes, the ropes are maintained under constant tension by operating valves from the spring connexions of the winding drums to their shafts. Fig. 8 shows one of the valves. Each drum is mounted on its shaft 31 loosely at one end between collars 34, and is connected to the shaft by a spring 39. The drums are driven by pairs of cylinders, the motive fluid passing through pipes 58, 67 connected to a casing 54. In the casing 54 is a double - headed piston reversing - valve 72 operated by a hand-wheel 77 to connect either of the pipes 58, 67 to the supply 66 or exhaust 71<a>. The pipes 58 open into a chamber 57 having a hollow spring plunger 81 whereby the annular space 64, which, in the position shown, is open to the admission 66, is connected with the chamber 57. In this case, the hollow plunger is closed at the bottom by a plug 84. The plug can be lowered by a vertically displaceable rod 88 to open the port 58 through the plunger 81 to the port 70 communicating with the exhaust 71<a>. The rod 88 is displaced either by hand or automatically in accordance with variations in the tension on the ropes. The hand actuation is effected through a toothed sector 124 gearing with a toothed nut 122 screwed on the rod. The sectors 124 of each winch are connected bv arms 125 and link 126 to link 127 operated from the hand-lever 128, so that when one engine hauls in one traversing rope, the other engine pays out the other. The automatic actuation is effected by a collar 120 embracing the nut and pivotally connected to an arm 118 on a rock-shaft 117 having an arm 100 carrying a second collar 101 engaging a screwed sleeve 102 adapted to screw into or out of the drum 32 when this is displaced relatively to the shaft under the action of the tension of the rope and the tension of the spring 39. The arrangement of the winch is similar to that of the traversing winches but the drum is driven through gearing from the crank-shaft, a modified link-work connects the collar on the rod 88 to the collar on the drum shaft, and the hand actuation of the rod 88 is effected through bevel-gearing.
