Granted: 1909-01-07
Abstract: 17,574. Springer, B. M. Aug 21. Sunken ships and objects, raising.-Caissons or buoyant chambers, for use in the salvage of vessels and cargo and for life-saving, consist of a fabric attached to the inside of a number of ribs 6 forming a collapsible crate-like frame. The fabric is attached to the ribs as shown in Fig. 3 and the ribs are hinged at their corners as shown in Fig. 4. The chamber when collapsed may be attached to the underside of decks, for example by means of rods 15 and beams 14, so that it may be filled by opening the cock 10 and allowing the lower end to drop, guides 13 ensuring a vertical movement. To raise a sunken vessel, the chambers are taken below by divers and are then filled with air, or they may be attached to the outside of the vessel.

Granted: 1909-02-04
Abstract: 20,623. Windschild, G. Sept. 30. Foul waters, treating straining.-Solid matters are removed from moving screens, particularly such as are applied in the treatment of refuse water, by means of air-discharging nozzles reciprocated at right-angles to the direction of motion of the screen. A cylindrical strainer c, Figs. 1 and 2, is rotated on rollers e by a motor n. The liquid is supplied by a trough a, and the separated solids are lifted by vanes f, from which they are discharged into a hopper g by air jets from the nozzles h. The nozzles have slit openings and are connected together by a rod k reciprocated by means of a crank and connecting-rod l driven by a shaft m from the motor n. The air is supplied through a flexible pipe i. Fig. 3 shows a strainer applicable in a conduit in which only a small head of water is available. The strainer is in the form of a truncated cone c<2> with a flat front c'. Airdischarging nozzles h<1>, h<2> are provided. In a modification of this form, the blades f have rubber bands on their inner edges and bear against a casing situated within and round the upper part of the strainer. Such a casing may be used with cylindrical strainers. Motion is given to the nozzles h<1>, h<2> by means of an arrangement shown in Fig. 8. A crank-shaft oscillates by means of a rod u<2> a lever u<3>, which is provided with slots to engage the ends of rods t, t<3>. The rod t<3> carries the nozzle h<1>, and the rod t has slots in which engage the ends of pivoted rods carrying nozzles h<2>.

Aspirating apparatus, ejector.-An apparatus for exhausting air and gases, especially adapted tor vacuum cleaning, comprises an ejector, preferably of the kind described in Specification 27/09, working in a closed circuit with a centrifugal pump having an horizontal impeller wheel. Water from the storage tank a passes through the opening j<1> into the impeller wheel f, the blades of which are arranged so that the space between them increases gradually in both the horizontal and vertical directions. After leaving the blades, the water passes into the vortex chamber h and into the pressure chamber i by way of the diverging nozzles h<1>.

Granted: 1910-04-14
Abstract: 26,595. La Brosse et FouchÚ, E. de. Nov. 16, 1908, [Convention date]. Blades, nozzles, and the like.-Turbine blades 1, Figs. 1 and 2, are formed with a bent heel 2. Interlocking blocks 3 are used to space the blades. Each block may be brazed or riveted to its adjacent vane. The rotor is formed with an undercut groove 6, Fig. 2, and a supplementary groove for the reception of the blade heels. The groove 6 is formed with upright sides at one point to allow the blades to be inserted and slid along into position. When all the blades are in place, the metal at this point is hammered in to take up a dovetail formation. The Specification in the original form, as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a), comprises also the following : -For fixing blades to a drum, a longitudinal groove is cut in the rotor across the blade grooves. When the blades are in position, this groove is filled in by keypieces 10, Fig. 6, held in position by screws 11. Alternatively, the longitudinal grooves may be of dovetail or other undercut formation, in which case special fixing-means are unnecessary. Stator blades are secured in position by blocks 16, Fig. 11, attached to the casing by screws 19. The ends of these blocks grip the inturned ends 21 of a shrouding-ring 20. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Abstract: 27,154. Steiger, J., and Besanþon, J. Nov. 22. Winding-apparatus, electric.-Relates to winding-apparatus for clocks of the kind in which the mainspring or driving-weight is wound up by means of an electro-motor, and in which an interrupter in the motor circuit is periodically actuated by a member rotated by the clocktrain and by a second member which is rotated by gearing with the motor. The interrupter consists of two movable blade-springs 8, 11, one of which has a hooked end 9 resting on the edge of a notched disk y which turns with one of the arbors of the going-train. The other spring 11 carries an arm 14, the end of which normally lies in a recess 4 in a disk 3 fixed on a spindle of the train of wheels which connect the motor r with the winding-wheel k of the clock. When the disk y has moved so as to allow the hook 9 to enter a notch z, the circuit is instantly completed, and the motor runs, winding up the clock, the disk 3 being rotated at the same time so that its edge raises the arm 14. Meanwhile the hook 9 is raised out of the notch z by the turning of the disk y, so that, when the disk 3 has made one revolution, the end of the arm 14 again drops into the notch 4, and the circuit is broken.
