Title: Improvements in the regulation of gas turbines and the like
Filed: 1933-03-03
Abstract: 415,788. Gas turbine plant. BRITISH THOMSON - HOUSTON CO., Ltd., Crown House, Aldwych, London, and FORSLING, B. E. G., Highcroft, Ashlawn Road, Rugby. March 3, 1933, No. 6535. [Class 110 (iii).] In a gas turbine plant, the quantity of air supplied by the compressor and the heat supply to the air are regulated in accordance with the turbine load, and the temperature of the gases fed to the turbine. Fig. 2 shows the application to a plant of the type described in Specification 413,697 in which a compressor 1 supplies air to a combustion chamber 2 from which the products of combustion pass to a turbine 4 driving a generator 5. The exhaust of the turbine 4 is used in a turbine 6 which drives the compressor 1, it being aided in this work by an electric motor 7. According to the invention, the aid given by the motor 7, which determines the output of the compressor 1, is regulated in accordance with the load on the turbine 4 by a speed governor 8, and the fuel supply valve 9 is regulated by a thermo-relay 10 at the inlet to the turbine. The arrangement may be reversed, that is, the governor 8 may regulate the fuel valve 9, and the thermo-relay 10 regulate the motor 7. In the modification shown in Fig. 4, a steam generator 11 with economizer 12 is arranged in the exhaust pipe of the turbine 6, and the steam is used partly in a turbine 13, which aids the turbine 6 in driving the compressor 1, and partly in a turbine 14 on the shaft of the power turbine 4. A speed governor 8 controls the admission valve 18 of the turbine 13 to regulate the output of the compressor, and a thermo-relay 10 controls the fuel valve 9. This arrangement may be reversed. A pressure-responsive valve 19 admits steam not required by the turbine 13 to the turbine 14, but the governor 8 may actuate this valve instead of the valve 18. In a modification, Fig. 5, fuel is burnt on a grate 26, and the thermo-relay 10, or the governor 8, regulates the temperature by operating dampers 24, 25. The exhaust from the turbine 6 passes through a heat-exchanger 21 in which the air is pre-heated. In a further modification, Fig. 6, in which only one turbine 4 is used, the compressor 1 being mounted on its shaft, the governor 8, or the thermo-relay 10 actuate a throttle valve 30 in the suction pipe of the compressor and also an admission valve 29 for the turbine. The air is preheated in a heatexchanger 21. The method of regulating may be applied to a plant working on a sub-atmospheric cycle wherein an exhauster takes the place of the compressor. Heat storage capacity may be provided in the gas stream in front of the turbine.

Abstract: 395,808. Determining photographic exposures ; linkwork. RISZDORFER, O., 13, Avar-Utca, Budapest. March 5, 1932, No. 6725. [Class 98 (i).] Means for determining the correct exposure in photographic cameras comprises a shutter and diaphragm, each adjustable by hand, associated with a photo-electric cell and a pair of indicating members, such as pointers, one of which is actuated through the photo-electric cell and one or both members being movable by adjustment of the diaphragm and shutter ; the whole arrangement being such that when the members are brought into coincidence, the diaphragm and shutter are set for correct exposure. Fig. 1 shows one arrangement in which a photo-electric cell 20 is connected through a switch 31, battery 32, and circuit 24 to a coil 25 within which is mounted a soft iron core 26 carrying a pointer 30 coaxial with a second pointer 18 on a spindle 16 carrying a worm 13 engaging a worm-wheel 12 on the mount of the camera diaphragm 11. The cell 20 is furnished with an iris diaphragm 21 geared to the shutter disc 23. In use, the switch 31 is closed, the disc 23 is set to the desired shutter speed, and the spindle 16 is turned by a knob 17 to bring the pointer 18 into coincidence with the pointer 30, whereby the diaphragm 11 is correctly adjusted. The cell diaphragm 21 may be additionally adjusted by hand to take account of variations in plate sensitivity. The pointers 18, 30 are disposed in front of the focusing-screen 19 or view finder. In a modification, the shutter and diaphragm are interchanged. Fig. 2 shows a modification in which a movable pointer 34 coacts with a fixed indicating member in the form of a line 0 ; and the diaphragm-adjusting spindle 40 actuates a sliding contact 39 moving over contacts 37 of a variable resistance 36 arranged in the cell circuit 35. To preserve a linear relation between the effective diaphragm opening and the cell current, the successive resistance stages are arranged in quadratic ratio. Fig. 3 shows a mechanism for the same purpose, applicable to the apparatus shown in Fig. 1. The diaphragm 59 is geared to a sector 58 actuated from the knob 52, carrying the pointer 50, through a lever 60 furnished with a cam slot 61 engaging a block 55 constrained by a fixed slot 54 and connected to the sector by rods 56, 57.

Filed: 1923-03-09
Abstract: 220,017. British United Shoe Machinery Co., Ltd., (United Shoe Machinery Corporation). March 9, 1923. Setting lacing-hooks.-Consists in a machine for setting lacing-hooks, lacing-studs, and similar fasteners, of the kind having automatic hooksupply and work-feeding means and adapted to set the fasteners in the work with the hook uppermost. As regards the operations of presenting, punching, and feeding the work and setting the tubular barrel of the fastener, the machine is similar to the eyelet-setting machine described in Specifications 161,660 and 164,786, and may be provided with a hopper similar to that described in Specification 22048/03. Hooks descending the raceway 61, 66, the lower end of which is seen in plan in Fig. 9, are stopped with the leading hook 68 in alignment with a transfer passage 74 by a fixed stop 70, the hook 68 being supported in this position by a pivoted, spring-actuated member 71. The hook is pushed forwards on to the hook carrier 46 bv an horizontally-movable plunger 69, Fig. 8, which is so coupled by a pin- and-slot lever mechanism 84, 85 to a parallel rod 78, connected by a flanged coupling 80, 81 with the hook carrier 46, that the hook carrier and plunger 69 advance towards each other from the position shown in Fig. 9, the support lever 71 being simultaneously rocked aside. The hook carrier 46 is slidably mounted in the lower end of a vertically-movable member 48, adapted, after reception of the hook, to be lowered by a camactuated and adjustable lever-device to insert the barrel of the hook into the hole previously punched in the work 10 by a punch 21, Fig. 5. Cam and toggle mechanism acts in known manner to raise the punch aganst the anvil 22, to punch the work. The punch is next moved laterally, as shown in Fig. 6, to carry the work-piece under the plunger 48, which descends, as described above, and inserts the hook in the work, and the punch is then raised by the reversing of the toggle-mechanism to clench the hook-barrel in the work, Fig. 7. The hook is retained throughout in the carrier by the vertical edge 77 of the transfer plunger 69. The members 46, 69 then separate by the return movement of the camactuated lever 18, and the plunger 48 rises again to the hook-receiving position. An auxiliary spring-pressed presser-foot may be mounted on the lower end of the plunger 48 to hold down the work more securely in case the hook carrier 46 tends to drag the hook as it separates therefrom. A hook separator may be spring mounted on the coupling member 81 to separate the leading hook from the following hooks in the raceway as the carrier 46 recedes from the clenching position preparatory to rising to the receiving position.
