Abstract: 25,344. Galloway, W. Nov. 22. Buffer and like stops; delivering or passing vehicles on inclines.-A powercontrolled sliding frame with automatic catches is used in conjunction with weighing-machines and on mine or other railways to receive and entrap wagons and t o deliver them when required, after bringing them to rest without shock. Figs. 1 and 3 show one arrangement, in which the sliding frame 2 works in guides 4 between the rails 1. Pivoted catches 7, 8, weighted at their outer ends, engage the axles of the wagon and lock it in position. As the wagon moves on to the frame in the direction a, the catch 7 is depressed on to the stop 7<a>, but the catch 8 engages the axle, and the catch 7 afterwards resumes its normal position. After the weighing or other operation, the frame is moved in the direction a, and the catches 7 first force the wagon forward and then deliver it after it has been released from the catches 8 by the action of the knob 13 on the rod 10, which compresses the spring 12 against the fixed bracket 11 and depresses the catch 8 against the stop 8<a> by means of the lever 9. The sliding frame 2 is operated in this case by a piston 15, which has a thick piston-rod 14 and works in the fixed fluid-pressure cylinder 16. Under normal conditions, the working fluid supplied by the pipe 17 is admitted by the regulating- valve 19 to both sides of the piston, which results in the frame being pushed to its extreme left-hand position. Shock is prevented by a buffer or by a cushioning action on the piston at the left-hand end of the cylinder. The momentum given to the frame, when the truck is run on, is gradually reduced by the elastic resistance to the motion of the piston 15, and the frame is finally returned to its original position without shock. To deliver the wagon, the weighted valve 22 is opened by depressing the pedal 25, thereby relieving the pressure on the right-hand side of the piston. During the latter operation, the smaller valve 19 may be allowed to leak, or may be closed automatically by linkwork connected to the foot-pedal. If steam is used, a steam trap in the pipe 20 is added to the apparatus. Various means for traversing the sliding frame are mentioned, including a cylinder with slide valves, rack-andpinion mechanism positively driven in each direction, or with the return motion effected by a counterweight and chain, and an electric solenoid in which the current is reversed. In a modified arrangement, the catches themselves slide in vertical guides, and are counterweighted or spring- controlled as before.

Inventor: KNAUFF LUDWIK
Filed: 1906-04-05
Granted: 1907-03-14
Abstract: 8273. Knauff, L. April 5. Elastic-fluid turbines.-Relates to machines of the type described in Specification No. 2818, A.D. 1906, in which the working fluid after being compressed over one half of the vanes of the wheel, is heated and does work by driving the wheel in expanding over the other half. The inner periphery of the crown of vanes of the compression side Q and the outer periphery of the vanes on the side P, where work is being done by the hot gases, are connected by passages 1, 2 ... 13, 14 so that the pressure of the fluid decreases gradually from the high pressure end 14 to the exhaust or 'equalizing' chamber A, Z. The air or other gas carried round by the vanes M from the chamber A, Z undergoes compression and, leaving the vanes by centrifugal force, passes by S' over the furnace T and thence to the vanes on the side P. Part of it passes to the exhaust Z and part to the compression side Q by way of the compensating passages 14,13 ... 2, 1. Power may be taken from the shaft, or the apparatus may be used as a compressor with or without the addition of mechanical power to the shaft. In the latter case, high-pressure gas is drawn from the part S' either before or after it has been heated by the furnace T, by means of a side passage. This may communicate with a turbine of known construction. By keeping the chamber S' at atmospheric pressure, the machine may be used as an air-pump for a condenser, suction being created in the chamber A, Z. Two or more compressors may be worked compound on the same shaft. In a modification, two oppositely rotatmg vane wheels are arranged with common furnace and exhaust chambers, and a series of short passages parallel to the common axis and joining adjacent parts of the two wheels so that the compensating passages 1, 2 ... 14, shown in Fig. 4, may be dispensed with. Special constructions of vanes, designed to prevent, to some extent, the mixing of the air passing along the passages with the fresh air between the vanes on the compression side are described. In Fig. 6, they are shown corrugated, and in Fig. 8 corrugated plates p are shown held rigidly together by annular rings N.
