Granted: 1904-11-03
Abstract: 18,325. MÚlotte, J. May 17, [date applied for under Patents Act, A.D. 1901]. Gas or explosive-vapour engines, carburetting in. Carburetters of the type described in Specification No. 14,677, A.D. 1904, which are especially adapted for motor road vehicles, have two floats geared together. The additional air supply is admitted through the sprayer b placed above the liquid nozzle c from the interior of a casing a closed at the top by a c o v e r h. The air enters at the open top of a sleeve e extending down into mercury or other liquid contained in a cylinder d suspended in the casing a, and passes through orifices o in the sleeve e into the outer space in the casing a. The orifices o are guarded by a piston r on the spindle s of a float f in the sleeve e. The spindle s is notched, a n d gears with pinions p gearing also with racks t attached to a float f<1> in the space between the sleeve e and the cylinder d. The floats may be connected by other gearing. The floats are formed with flanges touching the walls of the chambers in which they move.

Title: Improvements in Folding Cards
Inventor: SCHAUPP ADOLF
Filed: 1904-12-29
Granted: 1905-12-29
Abstract: 28,711. Schaupp, A. Dec. 29. Cards, greeting and like.-In order to increase the available space in pictorial cards, for views or advertising purposes, and yet retain a book form of opening, use is made of a special method of folding and joining the separate pieces forming the resultant card. The method is illustrated in Fig. 1, where three pieces a, b, c of card are joined in series along the dotted lines, the centre piece b being only half the length of the end pieces a, c. The piece b is folded on to the piece a and the piece c folded so as to lie on the piece b. Another piece of card d of size and shape exactly similar to the difference between the pieces b, a is then fitted in and joined across with its right-hand edge joined to the edge f and the left-hand edge to the edge g, so that the card can be opened in book fashion from both sides with one of the vertical dotted lines as a common edge. The method can be extended to five pieces. In a modification, the centre piece b may be formed from a piece similar to the piece a by cutting one-third out of the centre instead of one-half off the lower end as in Fig. 1, and using the cut-out piece to join across.

Title: Improvements in Turbine Motors.
Filed: 1905-08-28
Granted: 1906-08-23
Abstract: 17,372. Bellis &. Morcom, and Jude, A. Aug. 28. Stuffing - boxes, substitutes for. - Relates to methods of and means for reducing and utilizing the leakage in steam &c. turbines. One arrangement is shown in Figs. 1 and 2, Fig. 2 being a section on the lines 2-2, 2<1>-2<1>, Fig. 1. The guide-blades a have a shrouding-ring a<2> which is notched at each edge to receive portions a, a<3> of the blades. The portions a<3> are riveted, and the portions a' are sharpened and bent to form secondary guide-blades which serve to direct any leakage steam to the blades b of the rotor. A ring b<0>, preferably sharp-edged, acts as a weir to the leakage steam. The blades b on the rotor have a shrouding ring b<2> which is grooved to receive secondary blades b<1> in greater numbers than the blades b. A similar ring a‹ acts as a weir to the leakage steam. In a modified form, shown in Fig. 3, a ring c formed in segments is inserted in a groove in the rotor, and is cut obliquely to form vanes c<1>. A projecting rim d<0> is formed on the stator to direct leakage steam to the blades c'. A ring c<o>, Fig. 1, may be formed on the rotor to cause the leakage steam to be delivered near the centre of the secondary vanes c<1>. Fig. 5 shows the invention applied to the balancing-arrangements of turbines. A disk g, Fig 6, is secured to the shaft and faces a similar fixed disk h. Highpressure fluid passes between the disks, and is directed upon secondary vanes g<1>. . . g<5> by narrow passages j<1> ... j<5>. In modifications, guide-blades may be secured to the disk h, and one or more sets of vanes are then provided on the rotary disk, or the leakage steam may be directed through passages 1, 2, 3, Fig. 9, to blades on 'the rotary disk, or alternate fixed and moving blades q, r, Fig. 10, may be used. A safety adjusting-edge w is formed on the rotor. A pipe t , Fig. 5, may connect the zone u. between the disks g, h with any part v of the turbine at which the same pressure is desired.

Abstract: 23,236. Lord, H. E. Nov. 11. Axle-boxes; lubricating.-The axle-box described in Specification No. 24,212, A.D. 1904, [Abridgment Class Railway &c. vehicles], is modified to prevent the escape of oil. The lower part b of the axle-box has an internal flange. The lower edge u of the oil inlet q is lower than the lower edge v of the opening w in the back of the box. The cap r turns on the screw t, and is kept in place by the spring s. The recess b* containing the dust shield is connected by passages 2 with the oil reservoir p, so that oil is prevented from attaining a higher level in the recess than in the reservoir. A number of vertical webs e* are formed on the inside of the box walls. Internal recesses 3 are formed in the upper corners of the box opposite the flanges of the journal k, having narrow mouths and inclined side walls, so that oil thrown from the flanges is returned to the reservoir. The groove x is formed between the inner flange of the sleeve k and the shoulder y of the axle m, and the part y' of the axle is coned, to prevent oil from working along the axle. The curved flange 1 in the upper part of the box prevents oil from running down the back of the box on to the axle. There may be two recesses b*, the rear one containing the dust shield.

Abstract: 3894. Fiedler, L. Feb. 16.' Speed indicators.-A centrifugal-type instrument indicates the speed by means of a pointer and dial, records it with respect to time or distance upon a sheet, and gives an audible signal upon the attainment of definite speeds. To the sliding collar is attached a bar e adapted to move horizontally under the control of adjustable springs f, one end of the bar carrying the recording-point e<2> and the other a brush for making contact with the four terminals o<1>, o<2>, o<3>, o<4>, for which purpose current passes to the bar by way of the mercury container p and wire e<4>. These circuit-closing arrangements sound bell signals, which are preferably electric, current being supplied by a dynamo q driven from the speed-indicator shaft whereby a louder signal is given at higher speeds ; but, alternatively, a battery may be used, or a clock-work bell may be allowed to sound by the tripping of a detent. For the record-sheet, intergeared issuing and receiving rollers are provided, the sheet is marked with scales of time, or distance, and speed, and if clockdriven the moving drum j preferably contains the ordinary works of a clock the minute spindle of which is held fast.

Inventor: MORRIS ROBERT
Filed: 1906-05-28
Granted: 1907-05-28
Abstract: 12,409. Morris, R. May 28. Brakes.-In a vacuum brake system for locomotives and vehicles, one side of the diaphragm or piston M, Fig. 1, in the brake cylinder is connected through a pipe 0, valve A, and pipe G to the trainpipe H, and the other side is connected to the train-pipe direct. The train-pipe is provided with a large ejector J and a controlling-handle P, and the pipe 0 communicates with a small ejector or pump L and with a vacuum chamber N. The valve A, Fig. 2, and valve seat I are mounted in a casing and the valve is provided with a triangular spindle A<1> adapted to slide in the bridge B. Normally, air is exhausted from the system by the ejectors J, L and the valve A drops from its seat. If air is allowed to enter the train-pipe, the valve A rises and cuts off communication between the train-pipe and the upper side of the diaphragm M, while air enters the lower side of the brake cylinder and applies the brakes. The vacuum on the upper side of the brake cylinder is maintained by the vacuum chamber N in the case of vehicles and by the action of the ejector or pump L and the chamber N in the case of the locomotive. The valve A is placed near the footplate of the engine or the heating-apparatus of the vehicle to prevent it from being affected by frost.
