Title: Improvements in Steam Driven Pumps.
Inventor: KINTNER CHARLES JACOB
Filed: 1908-11-10
Granted: 1909-10-07
Abstract: 24,108. Kintner, C. J. Nov. 10. Steam-pumps; suction pipes; governing of controlling pumps; starting, facilitating.-Steam-driven pumps are provided in the suction pipe with a valve which seats itself when the suction of the pump discontinues, and beneath the valve is located an injector which is adapted to re-establish the suction. Means dependent on the pressure in the suction pipe below the valve are provided for stopping the engine in case the pipe breaks. The exhaust pipe 25 of an engine 20 is connected with the suction pipe 11, a check valve 47 being placed in the pipe 25 to prevent water from getting into the steam cylinder. A steam nozzle 30 is located at the end of the pipe 25 and immediately in front of a tube 31, which is supported by arms 32 from a rim 33. A valve 34, which slides loosely on the tube 31, remains open when the pump is working properly, but closes when accumulation of air in the suction pice causes a backward flow of water. When the valve is closed, the suction pipe is divided into two parts communicating by the tube 31. Water forced through the tube 31 by injector action then re-establishes the suction, and the valve 34 again opens. In the stearn-inlet pipe 23 is placed a throttle valve which is connected by a stem 27 with a piston 28 of larger diameter. The piston 28 moves in a cylinder 29 connected by pipes 51, 52 with the cylinder 42 of a pilot valve consisting of two pistons 43, which are connected by a stem with a piston 41, carrying a pivoted weighted lever 45. A pipe 50 connects the upper part of the cylinder 40 with the suction pipe of the pump ; by this arrangement the pressure of the atmosphere on the underside of the piston 41 keeps it in a raised position until through a break in the pipe 11, or other cause, an excessive amount of air enters the pipe, whereupon the throttle valve 24, actuated by the piston 41 and pilot valve, closes or partly closes the steam supply, to stop or slow down the engine.

Granted: 1909-07-22
Abstract: 453. Rotary Photographic Co., and Madaler, F. von. Jan. 7. Kinematograph apparatus for taking, viewing, or projecting pictures arranged in a helical series on a cylinder of flexible film, or in parallel rows on a flat plate of film, comprises a cylindrical casing a with a film carriage c which moves longitudinally along fixed rails a' in the casing. The film f, Fig. 6, is passed over the casing, and the pictures register with an aperture behind the lens e. The driving-shaft g, through the worm h<2> and the disk h which has an upturned portion h<1>, intermittently rotates the toothed wheel d'. Keyed on the same shaft d, but capable of sliding thereon, are two pinwheels d<2>, which engage with the film and so intermittently feed it. The continuous lateral traverse of the carriage c is obtained by engagement of a tooth j carried by a bell-crank lever on the carriage with the thread of a screw shaft i. The shaft i is rotated from the feedshaft d by means of gearing, as shown, carried by the shaft k. The feed for the form of film in which the pictures are arranged in parallel rows on a flat film is substantially the same, with the necessary modifications in the traversing movement to permit reversal of the direction of feed and intermittent lateral shift of the film. The driving-mechanism may positively drive a gramaphone n in combination with the kinematograph.
