Title: Improvements in and relating to Steam and other Fluid Pressure Engines.
Inventor: MARKS GEORGE CROYDON
Filed: 1905-08-22
Granted: 1906-03-08
Abstract: 17,012. Marks, G. C., [Stratton Rotating Engine Co.]. Aug. 22. Revolving - cylinder type.-An engine of the revolving-cylinder type, actuated by steam, compressed air, gas, or vapour, has two cylinders 8, 9, Fig. 4, at right - angles t o e a c other, but one cylinder, or more than two cylinders, may be used. The pistonrod 11 of each cylinder extends through both ends, and carries a frame 23, Figs. 3 and 4, guided by rollers 31, 32, to which is rigidly secured a cam ring 24 made up of two elliptical sections connected by circular sections, and moving between two fixed guide-rollers 25, 26. Each cylinder is carried within a fly-wheel 20, and is capable of rotation upon roller bearings 50, 51, extensions of the cylinders forming the driving-shaft 33. The main steam-pipe 2 has branches 3, 4, communicating with the cylinders by passages 3<a>, 4<a>, and exhaust passages 7<a>, 7<b> lead to the exhaust pipe 7. In operation, a reciprocating motion is imparted to each piston 12, frame 23, and cam ring 24, but, as the cam ring is constrained to pass between the guide-rollers 25, 26, a rotary motion is thereby imparted to the cylinders, fly-wheels, &c., and to the shaft 33. The circular parts of the cam rings may be dispensed with. Each cylinder has an annular steam chamber divided into two parts (Fig. 5), by walls 40, 41, the part 5<a> receiving live steam from the inlet 3b, and the other part receiving the exhaust and passing it to the outlet 7<a>. Two admission valves 44, 45, Fig. 5, and two exhaust valves 46, 47 are fitted to each cylinder, and are actuated respectively by cams 54, 55, Fig. 17, carried loosely by the shaft 33, and acting upon rollers carried by arms attached to the valve spindles. The admission valves are open while the rollers pass over the flat parts 54<b> of the cam 54, and the exhaust valves are open while the rollers pass over the circular part 55<a> of the cam 55. Each valve is actuated by a rod 62 having a flattened portion 62<a>, Fig. 14, and a semicircular portion 62<b>, which rotates within a shell 63, Fig. 8, having ports 64, 72. The valve 65, Fig. 12, has lugs 65<a> which engage openings at each end of the port 64 of the shell 63, Fig. 9. In operation, the valve is held down upon the port 64 when the part 62b of the rod is in contact with it, but, when the flat part 62<a> is over the valve, as shown in Fig. 8, it is free to move inwards under the pressure of the steam below it, thus opening communication between the steam chamber and the cylinder. To reverse the engine, the cams 54, 55, Fig. 17, are rotated through a quarter of a revolution by means of segmental toothed wheels 73, 76, Fig. 4, and a lever 77 which is locked in position by a catch. The wheel 76 is rigidly attached to the cams 54, 55.

Title: Improvements in Automatic Weighing Machines for Pulverulent Materials.
Inventor: SIMON RICHARD
Filed: 1905-11-13
Granted: 1906-09-20
Abstract: 23,301. Simon, R., and Simon, W. G. Nov. 13. Automatic-feed weighers.-Relates to a modified form of the automatic weighing-apparatus for pulverulent materials described in Specification No. 22,463, A.D. 1903. The beam a, Fig. 2, carries the weight scale b and sack ring c. The material to be weighed is fed through the rectangular trunk d which tapers downwards, the feed being controlled by shutters e, f, Figs. 1 and 2, pivoted at g and entering the trunk through narrow slits which may be furnished with brushes to prevent escape of dust. By depressing the handle h, both shutters are opened and retained in position by a projection i engaging a hookj, the material is fed to the sack 4 until its weight, added to weights k carried by the frame, causes the beam to descend, and a pin m in the weight k then engages a pin n on the hook j and trips it, releasing the catch i and closing the main shutter e. The full weight is then made up by a dribble, the beam descends further, and the hook p presses upon the end of a toggle-lever rand releases the shutter f to cut off the feed completely. The sack ring c is surrounded by an extension s and a ring t, the extension being sufficiently large to hold all the material which will not pass into the sack. The ring t slides on the sack ring c, and is secured thereto by handles u, Fig. 3, having projections v supporting stops w on the ring t, the handles being pressed inwards against springs x to release the ring t and extension s. The sack then falls to the floor, or until arrested by chains y attached to a posser of usual construction, which shakes down the flour prior to detachment of the sack. The plate z, cast round, or attached to, the trunk d, forms a dust-proof lid to the ring c, and may have a projection 2 to cover the face of the ring. The trunk d may be surrounded by a ledge 5 to which the plate z is secured, or the plate may travel with the sack ring, forming then a dust-tight joint with the ledge 5. The parts s, t are counterweighted and are pushed upwards to be re-attached to the upper part after an empty sack has been supplied.
