Filed: 1926-11-08
Abstract: 285,123. Henderson, A. F. Nov. 8, 1926. Actuating by hydraulic motors; measuring devices; pipes &c.-A supply of fluid, e.g. petrol, is delivered from a reservoir by a fluid-pressure pump, driven by pressure-water compressed air &c., and started and stopped by the opening and closing of the delivery conduit. Fig. 1 shows a reservoir 1 arranged in the basement of a building adjacent to a hydraulic pump 2 consisting of a double-acting power cylinder 7 supplied with pressure-water by a main 17. The distributing-valve 14 is thrown over by a lever 21 ; as shown, it supplies pressure-water by the pipe 12, the pipe 13 draining the exhaust into the sewer 16. The pump cylinder 2 draws liquid from the reservoir 1 through pipes 9 and valves 11, and discharges it to a measuring-vessel 4 by pipes 10 a delivery conduit 3, and a three-way cock 5 which alternately closes and opens the conduit 3 and opens and closes the outlet 6. The lever 21 is thrown over by an arm 23 on the piston rod 8; a lost-motion link 25 connects the levers 21, 24. Fig. 2 shows a coin-freed apparatus comprising two measuring-vessels 4, one of which is shown, supplied by a pipe 3 and branch pipes 35, 36 controlled by three-way valves 5, moved in unison by a link 37, and fitted with delivery conduits 47, 46, 48. A coin is dropped through the slot 43 into the slot 41 in the block 40, which is thus locked to the link 37. The block is moved to the left by a handle not shown, thus reversing the valves 5, and bringing the slot 41 over the left-hand slot 45, through which the coin falls into a coin receptacle 53. A slot 44 connects the two slots 45, and prevents the use of small coins. A lamp 56 fitted near each receiver 4 to indicate which is full may be controlled by switches 57 operated by the link 37. A counter may be operated by an arm 55. The apparatus may be used for delivering gas, the measuring-vessel being replaced by a gas reservoir.

Title: Improvements in or relating to anchors used in connection with mechanically operated farm implements working on the fixed cable system
IPC: A01B3/72
Filed: 1921-10-25
Abstract: 182,731. Robinson, J., and Robinson, P. Oct. 25, 1921. Power cultivation of land.-A headland anchor for use in connection with farm inplements working on the fixed cable system in which the anchor is moved ahead a short distance each time the pull of the implement comes on it, comprises a frame 1 carried on running wheels 2 having ground penetrating discs 2<x> and supporting a winding-drum 5 carrying the drag rope 6, which is firmly secured to the ground. A drum 9, round which a short length of the implement cable 10 is wound, is mounted on the frame 1 and is coupled to the winding-drum 5 through a one-way clutch 11 and spur-gearing 12, 13. The drum is also coupled through bevel-gearing 16 and pinion 18, 19, to a rocking-frame 14 pivoted at 15 on the main frame and carrying disc or tines 20 and a counterbalance weight 21 at its front and rear ends respectively. In operation, when the pull of the implement is exerted on the cable 10 the drum 9 rotates, driving the drum 5 and thus causing a forward movement of the anchor; simultaneously the frame 14 is rocked until the disc 20 engages, and is forced into, the ground thus preventing any further movement of the drum while the implement accomplishes its traverse of the field. When the cable 10 is slack, the frame 14 is swung back to the full-line position by the weight 21 assisted by a spring 23; the drum 9 is thus caused to rotate and wind up the slack cable.

Title: Improvements in and relating to air compressors
IPC: F04B3/00
Filed: 1920-10-06
Abstract: 171,858. Fell, L. F. R. Oct. 6, 1920. Compound or multi-stage piston pumps; pumpactuating mechanism; heat of compressing, absorbing.-A compressor comprises a plurality of pistons working in displaced phase relationship within a single cylinder; the pistons and cylinder coact so as to compress a fluid in three or more stages. The compressor shown consists of a water-jacketed cylinder 3, having a water-cooled head 4 containing cooling coils 39, a doubleacting trunk piston 11, and a single-acting piston 13 within the trunk piston. The trunk and single-acting pistons are actuated from a shaft 14 by an eccentric 15 and connecting-rod 18 respectively. The phase of the piston 13 is approximately 90‹ in advance of that of the trunk piston. In a four-stage compressor, air is drawn by the piston 13 through the port 22 into the trunk piston, the inside of which forms the first stage compression space, the air being compressed therein by the piston 13. The relative movement of the piston is such that as the ports 24, 25 in the trunk piston and cylinder respectively register with one another, the air is forced through the ports and the annulus 26 which is formed between two water-jacketed surfaces into the second stage compression space at the end of the cylinder. The air is further compressed by the trunk piston and forced through the annulus 26 and the valves 28, 30 into the third stage compression space 12. The air is compressed within the space 12 and forced through the valve 34 into the pipe 37 and thence through the cooling coils 39 and the valve 41 into the fourth stage compression space in the cylinder head, wherein it is compressed by the piston 43, which forms an extension of the trunk piston and which forces the air through the valve 45 and the cooling-coils into the outlet pipe 49. If three-stage compression only is required, the parts 37 to 49 may be omitted and the air from the third stage discharged through the pipe 50. To facilitate the fitting of the piston 13 within the trunk piston, the head of the latter is screwed into its sleeve after the piston 13 has been fitted. The valves 28, 30, 34 may be formed within a block 51 which is bolted to the cylinder and cylinder head. The cooling- water passes into and out of the cylinder head at the points 7, 8 respectively.
