Title: Improvements relating to Refrigerating Apparatus.
IPC: F25D31/00
Filed: 1911-06-07
Granted: 1911-12-14
Abstract: 13,640. Soc. Anon. pour l'Exploitation des ProcÚdÚs Westinghouse-Leblanc Nov. 28, 1910, [Convention date]. Lift valves; actuating.-In a safety device for vacuum apparatus, such as that described in S p e c i f i c a t i o n 20,588/09, [Class 29, Cooling &c.], a steam-supply valve 14 is normally held open against the pressure of a spring 15 by one arm 19 of a threearmed lever 12, which is retained by a second arm 16 engaged with a catch on a rod 3 secured to a diaphragm 2 exposed on the underside to the vacuum. When the vacuum falls below the limit, the rod 3 rises and releases the arm 16. The valve 14 is then forced to its seat by the spring 15. In another apparatus, Fig. 4, the steam-supply valve 14 forms the core of a solenoid 22. When the arm 16 of the lever 12 is held by the rod 3, a switch 21 is closed, and the solenoid is energized. When the rod 3 rises to release the arm 16 of the lever 12, a spring 20 moves the lever 12 to open the electric circuit, allowing the valve 14 to he forced to its seat by the spring 15.

Granted: 1912-03-14
Abstract: 17,592. Leistritz, P. Aug. 2. Cam mechanism.-In means for transmitting power at an increased or a diminished speed ratio pins 2 movable in slots 5 in a driving- part 1, which moves from left to right, are constrained in their motion by a fixed guide 3 and engage and drive teeth 4 on the driven member. As a pin 2 moves forwards and upwards to a position 2<1>, the corresponding tooth 4, instead of moving to a position 4<11>, moves only to a position 4<1>, being allowed to slip back by the upward sliding of the pin. Such an arrangement may be adapted as a reducing- gear. In Fig. 8, a guide 3<1> slopes the other way, the effect being that the tooth 4 in moving to position 4', instead of to the position 4", has an additional motion imparted to it by the downward motion of the pin 2. A speedmultiplying gear is thus produced. In Fig. 16 is shown a simple adaptation of the principle for transmitting rotary motion. The pins 2, instead of moving in the slots 5, may be carried upon links pivoted to the rotary member 1.

Abstract: 25,700. McKardy, H. H. May 17, 1912. Spring power-storing mechanism.-In a spring turning-gear the spring is fixed at its outer end and connected at its inner end to a sleeve 4, Fig. 2, loose on the shaft 8, which is connected to the engine crank-shaft. The spring may be wound up by hand through the shaft 21, pinion 23, and spur-wheel 5 fast on the sleeve 4, a spring-pressed ratchet 24, acting through the wheels 19, 20 preventing unwinding. To start the engine a yoke 31 fast on a shaft 27 is swung over to disengage the clutch 18 from the ratchetwheel 14. The yoke 31 carries springs 36, Fig. 3, which are compressed by this movement, and which cause the throwing-over of a second yoke 32 free on the shaft 27 and engaging a clutch sleeve 11 on a square part of the shaft 8; this movement of the clutch sleeve connects the sleeve 4 with the shaft 8 and allows the spring to turn the engine. To rewind the spring, the shaft 27 is swung in the reverse direction, which puts the clutch 18 into engagement with the ratchetwheel 14 and the clutch sleeve 11 with a second sleeve 9 free on the shaft 8 and carrying a spurwheel 12. The spring is then wound up through the wheels 18, 19 on the shaft 17, the wheel 20, the pinion 23, and wheel 5. To prevent overwinding the spherical end 38 of a bell-crank lever engages in a spiral groove 37, in the spurwheel 5 and disengages the clutch sleeve 11 from the sleeve 9. The shaft 8 may be turned directly by a handle engaging teeth 41 on the end of the sleeve 9.

Granted: 1912-10-17
Abstract: 27,196. Spencer, Ltd., J., Spencer, T. H., Smallman, H. S., and Horton, S. Dec. 5. Sprinklers, automatic.-Relates to a valve arrangement of the type whereby the installation can be worked alternatively on the dry-pipe or wet-pipe system, the main valve being controlled by a separate automatic air-control valve when the installation is on the dry-pipe system. The main valve is formed with three chambers A, B, C separated by valves a<2>, b<2>, and is provided with a water-supply inlet b<1> to the chamber B and with an outlet a' from the chamber A to the sprinkler system. Compressed air is supplied to the chamber A and the sprinkler pipes through pipes a<11>, a<10>, and to the upper chamber of the air-control valve D through a pipe d<4>, a valve d' being thus held on its seat. When the air pressure is reduced by the operation of a sprinkler, the pressure of water from the chamber B, acting through a pipe d<8> and a three-way valve d' lifts a valve d<11>, which is on the same stem as the valve d<3>, thus causing water to pass through an outlet d<6> and a pipe d<9> to the lower chamber C of the main valve, the valves a<2>, b<2> being thus lifted. The control valve is held in the raised position by a spring catch d<15>. When the installation is to be placed on the wet system, the three-way valve d' is turned to cut out the control valve D and connect the pipe d<8> directly to the. pipe d<9>, thus forming an open by-pass from the chamber B to the chamber C. A bypass a<7> from the inlet b<1> to the chamber A is also opened by means of a cock a<8>. On the lower end of the main valve stem is a valve b<4> controlling the supply of water to a pipe c<1> leading to an alarm.

Granted: 1913-05-08
Abstract: 26,949. Hollingsworth, E., and Lowe, W. V. Aug. 7. Pile-fabric looms.-In tufted-fabric looms, the devices for drawing off lengths of yarn from the spools comprise fixed grippers formed by a toothed plate or comb 4, Figs. 1 and 2, carried by lugs 2<1> on bosses fixed to a shaft 1, and movable grippers formed by plates 6 carried by arms 5 mounted on a spindle 3 carried by the lugs 2'. The arms 5 are yieldingly connected by pins 7 and springs 8 to a rod 9 movable in a slot 10<1> in a bracket 10 fast to the gripper-shaft 1, the rod 9 being connected by an arm 12 to a bracket 13 provided with notches or shoulders 13<2>, 13<1>, with one of which a pawl 15, carried by an arm 14 actuated by cam-controlled lever-mechanism and loosely mounted on the shaft 1, engages when the arm 14 moves to the left, thus opening the grippers against the action of a spring 17. The grippershaft 1 is suspended by a link 18 from a lever 19 actuated by cam-and-lever mechanism, whereby the grippers are raised and lowered. The grippers first rise and close to seize the ends of the tuft yarns, and are next lowered to draw off the required lengths of threads, which are then severed. The grippers are then lowered further towards the warps, and the gripper-shaft is given a partial rotation by means of a cam-controlled toothed rack or racks engaging a pinion or pinions thereon, the grippers being thus turned downwards. The gripper-shaft is then further lowered to place the tufts between the warp threads and is then raised clear of the warp threads. A binding-weft is next introduced and combed up, after which the grippers are again lowered to insert the second part of the tuft. The gripper-shaft then begins to rise, leaving the tufts in the warp, and the grippers are closed and then opened, and, finally, after the gripper-shaft has been turned and moved to its highest position, the grippers close again. When the pawl 15 moves away from the shoulders 13<2>, 13<1>. it is engaged by a projection 40 on a lug 18<1> on the link 18 to raise the engaging end of the pawl clear of the shoulders 13<2>, 13<3>, so as not to engage therewith when the shaft 1 is turned. The pawl 15 may be moved into engagement with the shoulders 13<2>, 13<3> by gravity or by a spring 42. The shaft 1 may have an arm to contact with a fixed stop when the grippers rise, so as to position them. In a modification, the grippers are made separate from one another, the shaft 1, Figs. 8 and 9, being notched at 1<a> to receive the fixed grippers 43, which are secured by bolts 44<1>. while the movable gripper 43<1> is pivoted at 43<2> to the grippers 43 and are forked at 43<3> so as to straddle the rod 9.
