Title: Improvements in or relating to Apparatus for Regulating the Temperature of Fluids.
IPC: G05D23/20
Filed: 1911-05-18
Granted: 1911-12-14
Abstract: 12,047. Darwin, H., Mason, C. C., and Cambridge Scientific Instrument Co. May 18. Blast, controlling condition of.-In apparatus for controlling the temperature of a hot blast, by controlling the rate of supply of one fluid or the heat given to one fluid or to the mixture by means of a thermostat with a motor-operated valve or switch, means are provided for cutting out the thermostat and an intermittent regulator by hand to allow the valve to be opened or the switch operated more rapidly for a predetermined time, after which the thermostat is again put into action. As shown for controlling a valve, a thermostat A, Fig. 1, such as a resistance thermometer, a thermopile, or a compound strip, is connected in circuit with a battery and a galvanometer coil C, having a contact arm C' which is pressed down intermittently on to a bar D by means of an arm E which is rocked by an electro-magnet E<5>, the circuit of which is made and broken by a contact-device K<3> driven by clockwork. A screw K is provided to vary the period of contact at K<3>. The bar has an insulating-piece D<2> separating two conducting-pieces D, D', and these are connected up with the magnets F, F' of a reversing clutch which puts a constantly running motor L in gear with mechanism to open or close a cold-air valve F<4>. In order to deal with a large temperature change, such as that produced when the stove supplying the hot blast is changed, a hand regulator is provided. This consists of a push - button M which closes the circuit of the clutch F to open the cold-air valve, and also closes the circuit of an electro-magnet N which opens a spring contact J<1>, thereby cutting out the intermittent regulator and thermostat, and at the same time a contact N<4> is closed, so that the circuit of the magnet remains closed when the push-button is released. After the valve has been opened a predetermined time, an arm O, Fig. 2, carried by a sleeve driven from the shaft F<8> by worm gears, engages with a spring contact P so as to break circuit with a contact P<2> to open the circuit of the clutch. Two such contacts P<2> are mounted on arms G, G<1> which are adjustably secured on a pin carrying the rocking arm O. When the clutch circuit is opened, the magnet N is de-energized and the thermostat brought into circuit again. When the apparatus is used to control electric heaters for heating one of the fluids, the valve is replaced by a multiple-contact switch. Any means for obtaining two speeds of operation may be used instead of the intermittent and continuous actions described. A reversing electric motor may be used, or the electric motor replaced by a piston worked by pneumatic or hydraulic pressure.

Title: Improvements in Means for Converting Reciprocating into Rotary Motion and vice versa applicable to Engines Pumps and the like.
Inventor: WILLIAMS HARRY
IPC: F16H21/32
Filed: 1911-07-18
Granted: 1912-03-21
Abstract: 16,544. Williams, H. July 18. Lever-actuated pumps. -Relates to a crank linkage for converting reciprocating into rotary motion and vice versa, applicable to pumps &c., and of the kind in which an oscillatory lever or its equivalent is carried by the reciprocating member and at opposite ends is pivoted to separate connecting-rods respectively connected to a pair of cranks maintained in fixed angular relation on the rotary member. In such an arrangement, the connecting-rods open and cross during each rotation of the crank and shorten the piston stroke. The invention comprises an arrangement in which the length of the arms of the oscillatory lever is less than, and preferably about one half of, the crank radius while the cranks are maintained at an angle apart of about 90 degrees or less, the distance between the crank-pins being preferably slightly less than the length of the oscillatory lever as indicated in Fig. 4, the characteristic of this arrangement being that the figure-of-eight paths of the ends of the oscillatory lever are traced in close proximity to the path of the reciprocating member, whereby the power is rendered effective at an earlier stage of the stroke. The oscillatory member C may be formed of a pair of levers or disks c, Fig. 1, joined by pins g, hand formed with studs b, by means of which they are rotatably mounted in the reciprocating sliders a. The crank members may comprise a pair of disks formed with crank-pins k, l maintained the required angular distance apart by a link o. Connecting - rods i, j connect the cranks to the pins g, h on the oscillatory member. The connecting-rods are preferably arranged to cross at the inner end of the stroke, being open at the outer end of the stroke, but the opposite arrangement may be employed. The lengths of the arms of the oscillatory lever need not be exactly equal. Means may be provided for altering the length of the link o to adjust the distance between the crank-pins.
