Abstract: 24,292. Tanner, E. G. Gosset-, and Deane, R. T. Oct. 31. Impact-wheels - Motor-vehicles are driven by means of turbines mounted on the wheels and geared thereto through reducing-gear, and supplied with pressure liquid by a centrifugal or other pump driven by a suitable engine. The Figure shows the invention applied to the steering-wheel of a motor-omnibus or other heavy vehicle. The turbine casing is made in two parts A<1>, A<2>, bolted together and secured to the swivelling axle D. The buckets H are carried by a disk which has a sleeve I running on ball bearings, and provided externally with teeth. Between the toothed sleeve I and an internally-toothed ring L on the wheel hub are mounted on fixed spindles B a series of pinions K, which rotate the wheel at a reduced speed compared with that of the turbine. A separate nozzle or series of nozzles may be provided for reversing, the liquid in this case acting on the back of the buckets H The speed is controlled by a throttle valve, and the pressure liquid, which may be water or oil, is conveyed to and from the wheel by flexible tubing. 24,462. Farnsworth, F. S. Nov. 2. Elastic-fluid turbines.-Turbine blades are first secured in foundation strips, which are afterwards fastened in grooves in the rotor and casing. The strips g, Figs. 1, 2, and 3, are provided with holes i, each of which accommodates two blades k, k<1> and one spacing block l, the latter being caulked to hold the blades in position. The strip g is then placed in a groove e, Fig. 3, preferably undercut, and is secured by a caulking-strip h. The side of the groove is provided with recesses f<1>. The stationary blades and their foundation strips need not be caulked in by a strip such as h, but may be slid in the groove and secured by pinning &c. The holes i, Fig. 1, may be made large enough to accommodate more than two blades, or one blade only and one filling-block may be fastened in each hole. In a modification, the strip h is dispensed with, and the strip g itself is caulked into a recessed groove, the blades being simultaneously secured. The ends of the blades may be shrouded or wired in any known manner.

Title: Improvements in Valve Floats.
Inventor: MOWER EUGENE BILLINGS
Filed: 1906-12-24
Granted: 1907-04-25
Abstract: 29,418. Mower, E. B., and Johnson, E. Dec. 24. Floats.-In order to prevent the collapse of a valve or other float when it is subjected to high pressure, the float is constructed, as shown in Fig. 4, so that the interior is open to the fluid pressure outside it through a valve 15, which is closed by a supplemental float when the main float is nearly submerged. The supplemental float preferably consists of a bell 19 which is connected to a tubular valve stem 16 having holes at the top and bottom, as shown, to give the communication referred to. In the event of the liquid rising over the float, the bell 19 or supplemental float is raised by means of the imprisoned air, and thus closes the valve 15 to prevent any possible access of the liquid to the interior of the float. In the modification shown in Fig. 5, the bell 21 is rigidly connected by a tube 22 to the main float. In this case, the imprisoned air in the bell prevents the liquid from entering the main float through the apertures 23.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Numbering or Marking Machines
Inventor: LANG GEORGE HAMILTON
Filed: 1907-08-19
Granted: 1908-03-19
Abstract: 18,667. Lang, G. H. Aug. 19. Typewriters and like machines; platen presses ; numbering - apparatus; stopping and starting arrangements; inking- apparatus. - In printing cr marking machines, such as for laundry work, the numbers and letters are arranged on numbering-wheels 4 set by segments 17 gearing with wheels 16 attached to the wheels 4. The whole marking-head 3 is removable and replaceable laterally at 31 from the lever 5, without disturbing the inking-mechanism 33 &c. or the aliner 40 &c. The lever 5 is reciprocated by a rod 8 and a crankdisk 9, which receives its motion through gearing and a clutch from the pulley 39 loose on the shaft 33. This clutch is normally disengaged, but is coupled by pressing a treadle which operates a rod 77 and clutch-fork 74, thereby starting the movement of the marking- head 3. The clutch is kept iu engagement by an adjustable lever 78, which bears on the high part 60 of a cam on the crank-disk, until the head 3 is nearly in its highest position again, when the tumbler at the end of the lever 78 drops into the recessed part 61 of the cam 60, and disengages the clutch. A band brake 65 stops the crank-disk 9 sharply, in the position shown, so that on the next operation of the disk the head 3 is given a slight upward movement first, which causes the inking-mechanism 33 to ink the set types. The sectors 17 are positioned by handles 21 so that the required letters are shown on bent strips 25, just at the top of the slot in the casing 3. As the head is lowered, the aliner 40 is brought ioto engagement with V-notches 43 on the numbering- disk 4, by a spring 44. To prevent accidental damage to the type in case the machine is started with the wheels 4 out of position, the guiding-lever 45 for the aliner is slotted at 46, and moves backwards if the aliner engages with any other part of the wheels 4 than the notches 43.

Abstract: 23,140. Morison, D. B. Oct. 19. Air-pumps, steam-engine.- A condenser system comprises a receiver r wherein is maintained a vacuum approximating closely to or in excess of that in the condenser c, a pump g withdrawing water of condensation from the condenser and discharging the same into the receiver, and means such as pumps k, k<1> for withdrawing water with or without air and vapour from the receiver. According to one arrangement, the receiver r is placed in an elevated position, thus providing a head of water adapted to ensure the satisfactory working of the pump k discharging water. The air and vapour may be withdrawn from the condenser by a separate air pump, the requisite pressure in the receiver being obtained by connecting it with the condenser. The air and vapours may also be withdrawn from the condenser by a steam jet s and discharged through a pipe a' to the receiver. In this case the steam is condensed in the receiver by means of the water from the pump g. When the receiver is used in this way solely as a supplementary condenser, the receiver need not be in an elevated position, the water, air, and vapours being withdrawn together by a wet air - pump k<1>. A cooler may be provided, for instance, in the base of the condenser, to cool the condensed water which is to be discharged into the receiver r. The pump k may discharge into an ejector serving as an air pump, as described in Specification No. 16,358, A.D. 1908, part of the water being returned by way of an open tank to the cooler for further use in the system. The head of pressure to which the water thus returned is subjected may be utilized in a water-jet pump which may serve as auxiliary to or in place of the pump g. Specification No. 840, A.D. 1902, [Abridgment Class Steam engines], is referred to.
