Granted: 1911-09-07
Abstract: 7771. Haddan, R., [Todd, H. S.]. March 28. Circular-flow type; reversing. -The motive fluid is delivered to successive concentric rings of rotor buckets by inter-connected guide passages arranged for expansive working. A rotor 12 is provided with concentric rings of buckets on the inner faces of the flanges 17 and on the outer faces of the ring 18. These buckets, which are of the symmetrical form 26 shown in Fig. 6, co-operate with return passages 35 located on both faces of the stator parts 15 and spaced further apart than the buckets. The return passages are arranged in groups, Fig. 3, which shows part of the stator. One group 29 is used for forward driving, and the other group 30, for reverse driving, similar groups being symmetrically disposed round the stator. The operation is the same on both sides of the rotor, the motive fluid acting first on the part 18 and finally on the part 17. Valves 47 admit the motive fluid for forward driving to the outermost sections of the group 29, whence it is repeatedly conducted to the ring 19 of rotor buckets. Passages 37 convey the motive fluid inwards to successive sections, and the rings 20, 21, 22 of rotor buckets are successively brought into operation. From the innermost sections of the stator group 29, the fluid is conducted through valves39 to the innermost sections of the stator group 40, Fig. 4, on the other side of the part 15, and the rings of buckets on the rotor part 17 are successively brought into operation as the fluid expands into the outer sections of this group, the fluid finally exhausting through passages 46. For reversing, the valves 47, 39 are operated so that the motive fluid is conveyed first to the innermost sections of the stator groups 30, Fig. 3, and finally to the innermost sections of the stator groups 45, Fig. 4.

Abstract: 13,669. Schulz, A. June 8. Penholders. - Relates to penholders which arc provided with a nib magazine and a conveying arrangement whereby the used nib can be dropped out of the holder and a new nib brought into position for use. The nibs have their points bent downwards, and are each provided with a tongue 2 against which the point of the following nib abuts. The tongue 2 on the front nib is engaged by a jaw 9 on a lever 4, which jaw is pressed against the nib by a spring 7 at the rear end of the lever 4. To release the front nib, a lever button 6 is depressed, this operation disengaging the jaw 9 from the tongue on the front nib and bringing a projection 8 at the rear of the lever in front of the tongue 2 on the following nib, thus preventing this nib and those behind it from dropping out. On release of the button 6, the next nib slides into writing position.

Title: Improvements in Automatic Electric Circuit Breakers.
Inventor: CUCULIC JOSEPH
IPC: H01H73/44
Filed: 1911-09-11
Granted: 1912-04-11
Abstract: 20,161. Cuculic, J. Sept. 11. Automatic circuit - breakers are provided with a compound-wound releasing-magnet 9, Fig. I, and a series relay magnet 2 which on overload connects the shunt winding 5 of the releasing-magnet across the lines. The series windings 1, 18 of the respective magnets are in different sides or phases of the circuit. The construction which, as shown in Figs. II and III, is of the loose-handle type, comprises a handle 39 of sleeve - like form mounted with limited free movement on the end of a rod 55, on which are pivoted a catch 42 to engage the boss of a double-pole brush-carrier 33 and a second catch 41 to hold the first in position. In the ' off ' position, the parts are as shown in Fig. II. To close the circuit, the handle is depressed, forcing down the rod 55 against a spring 15, and the brush-carrier 33 against a spring 14. When the brush is fully home, a tooth 43 of the catch 42 slips under a spring- detent 44, which retains the parts in the closed position. The series relay magnet 2 is adapted on overload to attract an armature 3, which throws in the shunt winding 5 of the releasing magnet 9, this then attracting its armature 10, striking up the catch 41 and setting free the catch 42, which allows the brush - carrier to disengage itself. In moving upwards, the brushcarrier also disengages the tooth 43 from the spring detent 44. The rod 55 is then returned by its spring. In case of a short - circuit accompanied by a large drop of potential, the series winding 18 is relied upon to trip the circuitbreaker. To release the circuit-breaker mechanically by hand, the handle is provided with a conical projection 40, which, on a slight upward movement, knocks away the catch 41. To close the circuit of the winding 5 at will, and thus to test if there is any voltage on the line, the handle is made free to turn on the rod 55, and is provided with a tooth 19<x> which actuates the armature 3 through springs and links. The opening of the circuit-breaker gives the required indication. The armature 3 may be provided with a damping-device consisting of a fly and train of wheels. The apparatus is enclosed in a watertight case composed of two parts screwed together, with a rubber packing- ring, and a stuffing-box for the handle.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Automatically Regulating the Temperature of the Cooling Water for Water-cooled Gas Turbines.
Inventor: WEDEKIND CARL
IPC: F02C7/16
Filed: 1912-02-21
Granted: 1912-07-11
Abstract: 4351. Wedekind, C. Feb. 22, 1911, [Convention date]. Cooling parts; working - fluid supply. - In water-cooled gas-turbines, the exhaust gases flow round a closed air-vessel, which communicates with a vessel containing liquid and a float, so that, as the temperature of the exhaust gases rises, the float opens a valve in the cooling- water supply, to inject cold water into a condenser. The exhaust gases are then led to a feed - heater for the cooling - water supply to facilitate the formation of steam. The exhaust gases pass from the turbine through a pipe a, and surround an air-vessel b, which communicates by a pipe c with vessels d, f containing a liquid such as mercury and a float g made of cast-iron for instance. The guide-rod h of the float operates a lever i to open a valve l admitting cold water through a pipe l<2> to the nozzles m of an injection condenser. The steam in the exhaust gases is condensed, and flows with the injection water back through a feedheater to the water jacket of the turbine. The exhaust gases pass through a pipe o to the feed-heater and thence back to the turbine cr for other purposes. The feed-heater may be omitted, and the injection water and condensation water returned directly to the turbine.

The motion of the valve 39 is suddenly completed by means of a weighted lever 29. On the completion of the downstroke of the bell 2, the valve 39 is again reversed by a tappet 22 and the weighted lever 29.

[Cognate Application, 17,308/12.] Cash registers; drum indicators; overthrowpreventing mechanism.-Relates to cash indicators of the key-set type, and consists in simplified key mechanism and improved indicator mechanism. There is one set of numerical kevs from two to nine and a set of denomination-selecting keys for pounds, shillings, and pence, and for tens of the same, and a pence fractions key. The depression of a denomination key indicates a unit of that denomination, thus dispensing with a unit key. The value keys 3 are pivoted on a shaft b and are limited in stroke by an inclined or stepped plate d and rock a yoke plate g so as to raise differentially a sliding block i<l>. In the block work rack-bars 4 .... 10 gearing with pinions 4<1>....10<1> attached to the indicators. Onlv those vertical racks are actuated beneath which spring-controlledplungers k have been thrust by the appropriate denomination key 1, j. These keys are suitably cranked to prevent interference with one another. Pawls i hold the racks up till a release key p is depressed, and overthrow of the racks is prevented by links r suspended from pins of which one s is attached between disks t which carry other pins x engaged by slotted links v pivoted to the keys. The indicators are arranged so as to give direct readings of the full width of the indicator on both sides. The numerals are carried on semi-cylinders 4<2> .... 10<2> formed on disks loose on a shaft 20 which are slotted to allow play to cross-pieces 4<3> .... 10<3> uniting corresponding disks and the pinions which engage the racks 4 .... 10. It is stated that energy may be stored in a spring or weight by depression of the keys for the purpose of causing the section of setting members to move relatively to the keys. The operation of the keys may be transmitted to a distance to actuate a register, for example in a cashier's office. The actuation of a central register with adding and recording means enables the keyboard apparatus above described to he arranged on slides or wheels on the shop &c. counters so as to reduce the number of apparatus necessary.
