Title: A New or Improved Internal-combustion Turbine, applicable also as a Steam Turbine.
Inventor: FLOWER JOHN
IPC: F02C3/16
Filed: 1913-04-03
Granted: 1914-04-02
Abstract: 7821. Flower, J., Bradley, J. W., and Wichmann, G. April 3. Jet-wheels; working- fluid supply. -An explosion turbine comprises a rotor A, Figs. 1 and 3, formed with oblique pockets in which are plungers K, pressed outwards by springs or fluid pressure. The casing carries a number of oblique cylinders E, Figs. 1 and 2, in which are plungers F connected to cross - bars O connected to tappets P operated by cams S, T, U on the main shaft. By interconnected levers W, the cams may be slid along the shaft so as to operate various combinations of the plungers F per revolution. As each operation of a plunger gives one explosion, as hereinafter described, the shifting of the cams enables 2, 6, 16, 24, or 32 explosions per revolution to occur. When a plunger F moves outwards, a charge is drawn in through a port H. On the return movement, the charge is compressed and passes into a rotor pocket, depressing the plunger K therein. As the rotor rotates, the charge is ignited by a sparking-plug Y, giving an impulse to the rotor. On reaching an exhaust port I, the plunger K expels the dead charge. A compound steam - turbine similarly constructed is described.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Locking and Unlocking the Doors of Railway Carriages.
Inventor: WILSON JOHN
IPC: E05B65/36
Filed: 1913-06-14
Granted: 1914-04-16
Abstract: 13,787. Wilson, J. June 14. Pneumatically-operated fastenings. - In an apparatus for locking and unlocking the doors of railway carriages of the type described in Specifications 12,815/12, 23,332/12, and 2123/13, the locking and unlocking operations are expedited by arranging a valve device between the train-pipe and the lock so as to prevent the complete destruction of the operating-agentvacuum or pressure-when the doors are unlocked. In this way, the proportion of operating-agent maintained in the train-pipe contributes to the amount required for obtaining the next locking operation. In Fig. 1 is shown a valve device employed in a vacuum-operated apparatus. The casing x, connected to the train-pipe by pipe b<2> and to the locks on the doors by pipe b<1>, contains two spring or gravity valves a, c, the former being interposed between the pipes b<1>, b<2>, and the latter for opening pipe b<1> to the atmosphere. The stem of each valve a, c has upon it a diaphragm a<3>, c<3> placed in the position corresponding to the other valve. The arrangement of the valves and the strengths of their respective springs are such that when the degree of vacuum is increased in the trainpipe and in the pipe b<2>, the atmospheric valve c is first closed and then valve a is opened to transmit the vacuum through the pipe b<1> to the locking-devices. When the vacuum is established in the pipe b<1>, the atmospheric pressure keeps the valve c closed and the valve a fully open. On the vacuum in the train-pipe being diminished for unlocking purposes, the valve a is first closed, thus shutting off the vacuum to the locks, and then, on slight further diminution, the valve c is opened to the atmosphere. Instead of diaphragms, pistons may be employed. The spring influence is adjustable by means of the nuts x<2>, x<3>, and weights may replace the springs. When compressed air is employed, a slightly modified arrangement of valves becomes necessary. The maintenance of the vacuum in the train-pipe and pipe b<2> is ensured by the provision of a spring-urged valve g', Fig. 5, on the atmospheric outlet h<1>, which is controlled by the three-way cock h in the driver's cab. The remaining connexions of this cock are to the train-pipe t and to the ejector or other source of motive power by the pipe h<2>. A small passage h<4> is provided for leakage compensation. If, in an unlocking operation, the vacuum is diminished to a point below the degree necessary, provision is made for restoring it to this degree in readiness for the next locking operation. To this end, a stop-cock j, Fig. 7, is provided between the three-way cock h and the valve i' for putting the 'limiting-means out of action.

The lever arms are detachably connected to their operating and adjusting means. When a number of pairs of rolls are employed, each pair is driven from a common shaft by worm gearing connected to the driving- gears by an adjustable worm connexion which permits circumferential adjustment of the rollers, the worm connexion being fitted with bolts having heads working in grooves to lock the wheels in adjusted position. As shown, a pair of coacting rolls b, c are mounted in frames a, a<1> secured by bolts and nuts to a base a<2>, which is connected by a worm-wheel j<3> to a rack j<1> fixed to a table j in such a manner that the whole mechanism can be adjusted transversely. The frame a<1> is detachable to permit of insertion and removal of the rolls b, c. The shaft c<1> of the roll c is mounted in the centres of a pair of duplex levers e, the ends of which are each detachably connected to a hollow cylinder f<3> by means of a pair of caps f fitting in holes in the levers and formed with recesses f<1> fitting over bosses f<2> on the parts f<3>. Bolts f<4> secure the levers c to the parts f<3>. The cylinders f<3> are adjustably connected by nuts s<4> to screws g<3> secured to straps g<2> of an eccentric g<1> on a shaft g, the screws g<3> passing through plain holes f<5> in the parts f<3>. The nuts g<4> permit the working pressure between the rolls b, c to be adjusted, and by means of the eccentric shaft g the rolls may be tripped when desired. For renewing or replacing the cylinders, the levers c can be detached from the operating- means described above. Wearing blocks a<9> are arranged between the levers e and frames a, a<1>. The rolls b, c are geared together by means of four spur-wheels, and the rolls b are driven from a shaft h, which may drive a series of pairs of rolls such as b, c. The gear between the shaft h and the shaft b<1> of the roll b comprises a worm h<1>, and a worm-wheel i, which is revolubly mounted on the boss i<2> of a worm-wheel i<1> fixed to shaft b<1>. For adjusting the worm-wheel i relatively to the shaft b<1>, an adjusting-worm i<3> carried by the wheel i is operated, and after adjustment the wheels i, i<1> are locked frictionally by means of bolts i<1> and nuts i<5>, the heads of bolts i<4> being received in T-grooves or slots i<6> in the wheel i<1>.

Granted: 1915-06-17
Abstract: 23,190. Fischer, H., and Eichler, E. Oct. 14. Pumps for volatile liquids.-A safety pumping- plant for drawing-off combustible liquid from a tank is provided with an interconnected clutch for the pump and valve for supplying inert gas, so that when the pump is out of operation, the suction pipe is connected to the gas supply and the liquid in the suction pipe runs back into the tank, while when the pump is started, the inert gas supply is automatically turned on and the suction pipe of the pump connected to the pump inlet. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, when the controlling-handle 23 is moved into the upright position shown in dotted lines, a clutch 26 connects up the shaft of the pump 2 with the handle so that the pump can be operated by the rotation of the handle, and at the same time, a weighted lever 29 is moved so as to open the inert-gas valve 10. At this moment the suction pipe 17 is connected by a passage 15 in a slide valve 14 with the pipe 16 leading to the gassupply pipe 7, and the pump inlet 18 is shut ; but as soon as gas is admitted to the space 9 by the opening of the valve 10, the piston 12 rises, and the valve 14 is moved to a position in which the pipes 17, 18 are in communication and the pipe 16 shut. The pump is thus free to draw liquid from the tank 1, while inert gas passes through the passage 21 and pipe 7 to take the place of the liquid drawn off. The differential piston 12 automatically controls the passage 21 in such a manner as to prevent the pressure in the tank 1 from becoming too great.
