Title: Improvements in and relating to Governing Mechanism for Elastic Fluid Turbines.
IPC: F01D1/02
Filed: 1911-07-19
Granted: 1912-04-25
Abstract: 16,638. Warwick Machinery Co., [General Electric Co]. July 19. Regulating. - Governing- mechanism for turbines operated wholly or in part by low-pressure steam comprises a valve having two main parts, one part controlled by a speed-responsive device, the other part controlled by a pressure-responsive device, the latter being designed to close the supply main when the pressure falls below a predetermined limit and so to prevent air from entering the turbine casing and interfering with the action of the condenser. A balanced piston valve 5, Fig. 2, is actuated by an hydraulic relay motor 9 controlled by a speed governor through a pilot valve 13. This valve 5 is enclosed by a movable ported sleeve 7 actuated by a relay motor 24 controlled by the pressure in the supply main 2, which is connected by a pipe 32 to the upper side of a diaphragm 30 subject on the other side to the pressure of the atmosphere and a spring 33. The diaphragm operates the pilot valve 25 of the relay motor 24 through the medium of a stem 29 and lever 28. In a modification, the piston 24 is directly subjected below to the pressure in the main supply 2 and above to the pressure of the atmosphere. In a further modification, Figs. 4 and 5, the invention is applied to a mixedpressure turbine so that it may be employed to drive an alternating-current generator which is connected in parallel with one or more additional generators. An extension 40 of the stem of the valve 5 carries a rack 41, Fig. 5, which operates a series of high-pressure valves 45 by means of levers 46 and cams 44. The rod 19 of the lever 17 is connected as before to a speed governor. The pilot valve 13 is enclosed by a sleeve valve 54, which is connected by an adjustable lever 55 and a stem 29 to a diaphragm 30, which as before is controlled by the pressure in the supply main 2. By this device, the high-pressure valves are successively opened as the sleeve 7 of the low-pressure valve closes. Specification 20,326/11 is referred to.

Title: Improvements in connection with the Production of Ozone and its Utilization for the Preservation of Chilled Meat and for other purposes.
IPC: A23L3/3445
Filed: 1911-07-31
Granted: 1912-05-09
Abstract: 17,423. Willcox, F. A., and Hall, J. & E. July 31. Ozone, produced by the usual electric ozonizers, particularly for use in connexion with the preservation of chilled meat, and for sterilization, oxidation, reduction, bleaching, ventilation, &c., is purified from nitrogen oxides and acids by passing it over an agent which removes these bodies without injuriously acting on the ozone, for example, caustic soda or potash, or calcium hydrate, either solid or in solution. Thus, air from a refrigerated chamber 9 containing meat &c. to 'be preserved is passed through the dielectric spaces 2 of an ozonizer 1, and then through a vessel 3, containing the absorbent, back to the chamber 9.

Abstract: 27,210. Allison, C. A., [Never Fail Co.]. Dec. 5. Stropping - apparatucs.-In a machine for stropping razors, the blade-holder, comprising side spring-jaws 17 and a back portion 18, is pivoted in a main frame 1 and has, at each end, a rearwardly projecting piece 19 provided with projecting legs 20. An oscillatory frame is also pivoted in the main frame, and comprises end cross-bars 9 connected by parallel rods 10, 11, 12 on which are rotatable sleeves, an arm 22, projecting from each cross-bar, engaging loosely between lugs on the blade-holder. A strop 16 is passed over the sleeves of the oscillating frame as shown in Fig. 7, and is guided by the rollers 6, 4, 8 on the main frame; the bladeholder is maintained in its central position by a heart-shaped spring 24, the terminals of which project through openings 27 in the main frame and engage one on each side of the rearwardly projecting part of the blade-holder. When the strop is pulled, the oscillating frame rocks, and swings the blade-holder, against the tension of the heart-shaped spring, so that the blade is brought into contact with the strop ; an auxiliary holder, as shown in Fig. 6, is used for safety razors.

Abstract: 28,614. Adams, P. J., and Adams, C. H. Dec. 19. Cam-actuated pumps; stroke, varying.-The lubricating-pump of an internal-combustion engine is operated in such a way that the oil pumped varies with the load on the engine. The pump 1 is of ordinary form, with suction and delivery valves 3, 6, and plunger 8. The plunger is operated by a cam 11, Figs. 1 and 2, acting on the end of the projecting stem 10. The cam is rotated by suitable gearing 12 driven from the half-time shaft 13. The pump stroke is automatically varied by a device connected with the throttle of the engine. The position of the bell-crank lever 16, 18 is adjusted by the wire 17 connected to the throttle mechanism, so that the end 18 is placed in the path of the rod 10, thus shortening its stroke. The adjustable connexion 20 allows the amount of motion of the bell-crank lever to be varied.

Abstract: 1395. Handcock, H. W., Dykes, A. H., Duddell, W. Jan. 17. Electrical systems, automatic; visual outdoor signals; miniature signals or indicators and the like.-The movements of signals, or other apparatus, operated by means of electric circuits in resonance to given frequencies of alternating current are effected positively by means of two or more circuits in resonance to different frequencies. According to the modification shown in Fig. 1, a movable armature A B is attracted by one of two electro-magnets E', E<2> placed in circuits of different resonance according to the frequency of the current supplied. The opposite movements of the armature may be utilized to switch a lamp on and off. In another modification, the differently tuned circuits actuate in the first instance different local relays which send current to one or other of a pair of electromagnets adapted to act on the movable device in opposite directions. Fig. 3 shows a modification in which the electro-magnets are provided with compensating windings, that is additional windings in an auxiliary parallel self-inductive circuit for the purpose of nullifying the effects of a strong current of lower frequency than the frequency to which the circuit is tuned. Specifications 6716/12 and 5307/13, [both in Class 40 (i), Electric signalling systems &c.], are referred to in this connexion. As shown in the Figure, a single compensating circuit containing a choking-coil L<5>, a winding L<3> on one of the electro-magnets, and a winding L<4> on the other electro-magnet provides compensation for both the tuned circuits. Alternatively one or both of the circuits may be compensated, as described in the above-mentioned Specifications, without employing additional windings on the electrbmagnet.

Boots and shoes, cleaning and polishing. - A flexible band is reciprocated transversely over the front portion of the shoe and is also oscillated in a vertical plane, thus producing a combined rubbing and whipping action on the shoe. The band and its supports are carried by an arm 5 which is connected to an oscillating shaft 9 driven from the motor-shaft 16 through the medium of a bevel-gear 33 and a crank 32 actuating a sliding rack 26 geared to the pinion 28. The shaft 9 and the above-mentioned transmission gearing is mounted on an arm 4, which is oscillated about the pivot 6 by means of a crank and connecting-rod 12. The motor on the shaft 16 is in circuit with a generator 17 and an operating-switch 19. The arm 5 carries two bowed plate springs 20, 21 connected to each other at their lower ends by bars 22, Fig. 7. The spring 21 is made deeper than the spring 20, and the bars 22 are bent downwards at their rear ends so as to be in line with the ends of the spring. This arrangement causes the front of the polishing-band to curve over the toe of the boot. The polishing-band is stretched between the lower ends of the springs and is fixed in position preferably as follows. A bar, rolled to form a recess, is secured to the lower edge of each member 22, and to thickened portions which cannot pass through the space at the bottom of the recesses, formed in the band near each end, for example by sewing cords 40 into folds in the material. The bands are slid into position from one end of the recesses. In a modified construction, the ends of the cloth are laced to the bars 22:
