Title: Improvements in Thrust Bearings.
Inventor: EGBERT CHARLES COGGILL
IPC: F16C21/00
Filed: 1912-06-05
Granted: 1913-04-10
Abstract: 13,279. Egbert, C. C. June 5. Fluid thrust bearings.-A fluid-pressure bear. ing for vertical or inclined shafts is combined with a ball or roller bearing which takes the load when the fluid pressure fails. Oil or other fluid is pumped through a pipe 32 into the space between two ball races 13, 14, and is confined by inner and outer rings 21, 23. The ring 23 is pressed upwards by adjustable springs 28 against a ring 24 secured to the thrust collar 5, or against the thrust collar itself. The ring 23 slides over a spherically seated ring 11, which supports the race 13, and the escape of fluid at the joint is prevented by a packing-ring 31. The inner diameter of the ring 23 at its upper edge is less than the diameter adjacent to the packing-ring 31, and this balances the ring by counteracting the downward pressure of the oil that escapes between the rings 23, 24. The surfaces of the rings 23, 24 are lubricated by the escaping oil, and one or both surfaces may be grooved. The inner ring 21 is secured to a ring 19. The oil escapes mainly between the ring 21 and the race 14 into the bearing casing 10, and is returned through an outlet 36 to the reservoir, from which the pump draws its supply. The pump may also supply fluid to a governor consisting of a cylinder with a piston connected to the gate valves controlling the water supply to a water-wheel, the fluid supply to the governor being controlled by a valve operated by centrifugal balls. When the governor requires a maximum amount of oil for its operation, the pressure in the oil-supply pipe falls and a valve in the pipe 32 closes the thrust collar then descends until the whole load is taken by the halls. Under other conditions, the whole or part of the load is taken by the oil. The bearing acts therefore as a relief valve on the oil supply.

Abstract: 26,188. Rees, E. S. G. Nov. 14. Rotary-chamber fans and pumps.-In centrifugal pumps of the type having a rotary pressure chamber formed in the impeller as described in Specifications 4810/06, 14,253/06, and 16,529/11, the trough-shaped outlets from the pressure chamber are flanked by fluid-pressure spaces i. The outlets are bounded by parallel or mutually-inclined side walls g and flat or slightly curved inclined plates h. The side walls may be continued beyond the periphery d in the form of parallel or mutually inclined rings or flanges g<0>. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the impeller contacts with the outer surface of the fixed bush or joint ring k so that, with one size of impeller, the flange on the inner surface can be turned down to a greater or less extent to vary the effective size of the impeller eye. In the form shown in Fig. 3, the impeller contacts with the conical walls k of the casing and the impeller-eye is formed by the inner edges of these walls which may be turned down as desired. The outlet nozzles may be directed backwardly, as shown in Fig. 2, and may project forwardly beyond the pump blades. The nozzles may also be directed forwardly as shown in Fig. 6<a>. The peripheral part of the impeller including the nozzle trough and the pressure chamber may be made separately from the blades b and boss a.

Granted: 1914-03-19
Abstract: 9449. Friedrich, C. A. April 22. Vacuum tubes.-During the exhaustion of X-ray and other tubes, the electrodes are heated, electrically or otherwise, without discharge through the vacuum, so as to prevent the formation on the glass of metallic deposits which may produce shortcircuits with a high vacuum. Regulation of the vacuum during working may be effected by the same heating devices. In one arrangement, an aluminium cathode 14, Fig. 1, and a copper anode 3, forming also an anti-cathode and supported by a split steel tube 4, are surrounded by sleeves of mica, asbestos, or the like, on which are wound heating-coils 20, 8. Each coil is connected at one end to the electrode within it, the other end of the anode coil 8 being connected to an external cap 35, and that of the cathode coil 20 to a terminal near but insulated from the cathode terminal. The coils may be connected in series across an ordinary supply circuit during exhaustion. For subsequent regulation of the vacuum, current may be passed through one of the coils, preferably the anode coil 8, to cause liberation of gas from the asbestos or mica sleeve. The working current, or current from a separate source, may be used for this purpose; in the former case the negative conductor is attached to a spring-urged arm 25 pivoted at 29 to the container and operated by a cord 34 so as to engage either the cathode terminal or the cap 35 connected to the anode coil. A copper rod enclosed in a glass tube supports the cathode. In a modification, each coil is short-circuited and current is induced in it by means of an external coil temporarily fitted over the side tube containing the electrode support. In another arrangement, a hollow electrode contains a coil wound on an asbestos tube flanged at its ends, the connexions and electrode support being similar to those of Fig. 1. In a further modification, a hollow electrode 50, Fig. 4, is open to the air, being attached to a platinum ring 52 sealed to the bulbed end of a side-tube. The electrode may consist of an inner tube of thin copper and an outer one of steel with an air space between. Heating is effected by a blow-pipe jet, or by inserting white-hot rods, or a resistance coil wound on the lower end of a mica or other insulating tube 55, Fig. 5, and attached to conductors respectively inside and outside the insulating tube, which is flanged at two points 59. During working, the hollow electrode may be cooled with water by means of rubber connectors, or may be filled by a metal rod.

Granted: 1914-01-29
Abstract: 14,399. Crittenden, P. L. Oct. 9, 1912, [Convention date]. Starting and stopping pumps automatically. -A device for stopping and starting compressors in accordance with the reservoir pressure, of the kind comprising a switch for opening and closing the circuit of the driving-motor, is provided with means for returning the switch to the cut-out position upon failure of current. The invention is illustrated in connexion with a device of known construction comprising a spring-pressed piston 2, which is raised or lowered respectively to open or close the switch 3, 4 according as a valve 5 connected to pistons 6, 7 is moved to the left or returned to the position shown by the operation of valves 11, 14 controlled by spring - pressed diaphragms 9, 12 subjected to reservoir pressure. Various devices for unloading the compressor at starting, for example one adapted to hold open a relief valve, or for gradually cutting resistance out of the motor circuit as the motor speeds up, or for reducing the starting torque of alternating - current motors, may be combined with the above stopping and starting device. The device 23 shown consists of a spring-pressed piston 25 which is depressed by reservoir pressure, admitted by way of a restricted port 31 in the valve 5, to rotate a contact drum 29 and thus gradually cut out resistance. The means according to the invention for opening the switch and cutting-in the starting resistance upon a failure of the current may take various forms. That shown comprises a valve 32 normally held closed by an electro-magnet 33. On failure of the current, however, the valve opens the space to the left of the piston 6 to atmosphere and the consequent movement of the valve 5 opens the switch, and permits the starting resistance to be rapidly put in by opening the space above the piston 25 to atmosphere.
