Granted: 1908-06-11
Abstract: 20,824. Irwin, J. T. Sept. 19. Electrometers. -An oscillograph applicable for current, pressure, or power measurements comprises two stretched diaphragms and means for indicating the difference of the electrostatic forces exerted between these and two fixed disks. In a modification, the fixed disks are arranged one on each side of a single diaphragm. The diaphragms consist of plain or finely perforated sheet metal, fine wire-gauze, or other conducting-material, and are held in rigid metal rings. The indicating means illustrated in Fig. 7 comprises two pairs of looped wires or filaments, each wire being connected to a fixed point such as H and a point such as I on one or other of the diaphragms ; a mirror M mounted across the loops is turned by any relative movement of the diaphragms. In a modification, the diaphragms are connected by a wire passing round a thin axle S, Fig. 10, which carries a mirror, and this system may be applied to the single-diaphragm instrument as indicated, the wire being attached to springs. Sheets of insulating material may be inserted between the diaphragms and disks, or the whole may be immersed in oil, or enclosed in a high-pressure air-chamber. In the absence of oil, the instrument may be damped by connecting it through high resistances. For determining the current or pressure between two points A, B, Fig. 1, these may be connected to the disks D, E and to the ends of two equal, non - inductive resistances R', R', or two condensers or reactance coils, and a source N of constant pressure is connected between the resistances and the diaphragms F, G ; the difference of pull is then proportional to the current or pressure. A transformer may be used to multiply the pressure across the ends of a non-inductive resistance, provided that the primary current is small compared with the current in the main circuit. For determining power supplied to a circuit A, B, the instrument may be connected directly as indicated in Fig. 4 ; or a transformer may be inserted between the resistance R and the disks D, E, and a condenser between the diaphragms and the point B.

The oil enters the sight tube Q from the hollow base A, and is withdrawn from the top of the tube through the ports g, o into the pump barrel I, which is mounted horizontally within the cistern C. It is delivered through the valve-box R to the delivery pipe. The pump pistons D are actuated by an oscillating lever E connected to a cam L carrying pins J, working in slots formed in the pump pistons. 21,644A. Boys, C. V. Sept. 30. Cylinders.-An air-pump for vacuum cleaning- apparatus is provided with a piston packing in the form of a rolling elastic ring of india-rubber, elastic glue such as is used for printers' rollers, or tyre-filling material, and with abutment flanges for the ring, whereby the length of both the piston and cylinder may be made less than that of the stroke. The elastic rolling ring H is located between the parallel cylindrical surfaces C, E of the piston and cylinder, which are of diameters such that the ring is slightly squeezed ; it is preferred, however, to make the surfaces C, E slightly conical, so that the ring rolls in a convenient passage and expands and contracts during alternate strokes. Flanges D form abutments for the ring at the ends of the strokes and correct any tendency of the ring to creep; by forming them integral with the cylinder, the length of both piston and cylinder may be made not to exceed a little more than half the pump stroke. The parts C, E may be made of metal, wood, or papier-mÔchÚ, or of reinforced cement, in which case the part C may be cast with one or both flanges. These parts are fixed in a casing A by means of distance-pieces M which carry valve-guards N for the inlet valves K, one of the ends B of the casing being made removable. Melted pitch &c. is employed to make an air-tight joint between the cylinder C and the casing. The face F of the piston may be of wood and may be cemented to the part E or, if the part E is made of cement, the part F may consist of a dished metal plate having its edges buried in the cement.
