Granted: 1909-05-26
Abstract: 11,437. Roehr, C. G. May 26. Turbines. - The rise and fall of a body due to waves, tides, and currents is utilized for rotating a shaft, and for propelling boats. A raft 1, Fig. 1, with floats 2 carries a shaft 5, at the end of which, and preferably below the influence of the waves, is mounted a wheel 8. On the spokes 9 of this wheel are pivoted vanes 12, the extent of the oscillations being limited by springs 13, clamped to the spokes at their middle points 15, and embracing the vanes at their ends. When the raft rises or falls, the vanes moving through still water are forced down or up against the springs, and the reaction revolves the shaft 5 in the same direction in both cases. For propelling a boat, a horizontal frame carrying pivoted vanes is suspended by rods from the bottom of the boat, the vanes falling and rising as the boat rises and falls. In a modification, vertical frames 25, Fig. 6, carry similar vanes 20. For steering and reversing, the frames are rotated about a vertical axis, a pinion 28 and rack 30 moved by the lever 31<0> being provided for the purpose. In another modification, the vertical frame carrying the vanes may be rotated into a horizontal position, the vanes being then inoperative, or, the vanes themselves may be rotated so as to hang vertically.

Title: Improvements in Moulds used for Producing Metallic Castings.
Inventor: GASCHE HEINRICH
Filed: 1908-10-19
Granted: 1909-02-11
Abstract: 22,121. Gasche, H., and Wensky, K. Oct. 19. Casting.-The in-gate of a mould is provided with a guided float having a specific gravity between those of iron and slag, to prevent the access of slag to the mould. One form of device is shown in Figs. 2 and 3 in which a hollow float b of sand, loam, fire-clay, or graphite, with or without a metal core, is guided at one end in a reduced portion of the pouring-chamber, and is limited in its upward movement by bars e. The molten metal is introduced into the pouring space a' and passes into the git chamber through narrow channels d between the float and the wall of the mould. The bulk of the slag is prevented from passing along the channels with the metal to the git chamber, owing to its viscosity. The float rests on the surface of the molten metal and thus automatically closes the git when the supply of metal runs short, and prevents the slag from entering the mould. Modified forms of the apparatus are shown in which the float comprises a hinged flap valve or a vertically guided valve fitted between the git and the pouring space and arranged to cut off the git from the latter when the supply of molten metal runs short. In each case the float may be perforated to permit gases to escape from the molten metal. Fig. 7 shows a float b guided by a rod k and connected by levers.f, g to an adjustable counterweight by means of which its effective weight can be varied. By means of pins l fitted into holes in the framework of the guide, the motion of the lever f is limited and the maximum lift of the valve thereby controlled. By suitably adjusting the counterweight, the float can be arranged to close the ingate while a small amount of fluid metal remains in the git chamber.
