Filed: 1910-10-26
Granted: 1911-10-26
Abstract: 7228. Venter, O. Oct. 26, 1910. Damping with low-pressure steam-In connexion with apparatus for moistening textile goods in a partial vacuum, a measuring-vessel is provided to determine the amount of water used for moistening the goods. The goods, in a truck &c., are placed in a container 1, a transverse wall 4 preventing water from flowing out of the bottom when the end cover 5 is opened. The container is then filled with water to the level of a supply conduit 6. The water also fills a connected conduit system, comprising a discharge conduit 7. a heater 8 provided with steam-pipes and a pipe 9 connecting the heater with a pump 10, and a pipe 11 communicating through a three-way cock 12 with the supply conduit 6. The container having been evacuated, the cock 3 on the vacuum pipe 2 is closed, steam is admitted to the pipes in the heater 8, and the pump 10 starts circulating the water. To ascertain how much moisture has been absorbed by the goods, the three-way cock 12 is set to direct the water from the supply conduit 6 to another 14 leading into an open measuring-vessel 13. Since the quantity of water between the supply-conduit 6 and a stand-pipe 20 in the container 1, connected to the discharge conduit 7, is known, a subtraction gives the quantity absorbed. The steam used for evaporation can also be ascertained by measuring the condensation water passing through the conduit 17 connecting the heater 8 to the condensing-vessel 18. In a modification of the apparatus the measuring vessel 22, Fig. 2, is closed, and provided with cocks 27, 29 permitting communication with vacuum and the atmosphere, in addition to the three-way cock 12. A graduated water-gauge 36 is provided at the side of the vessel 22. The steam-heating pipe 32 is contained in the lower part 3 of the closed measuring-vessel itself, the heater 8 and stand-pipe 20 being dispensed with. In this form of apparatus, since all the water is drawn into the measuring vessel the goods may be left to cool off in the container 1.

Title: Improvements in Submarine Signalling Apparatus.
IPC: G10K1/072
Filed: 1911-07-15
Granted: 1912-07-15
Abstract: 16,372. Submarine Signal Co., and Evans, G. C. July 15. Marine bell signalling. - A submerged bell buoy, actuated by tidal currents, is provided with means for storing energy to continue the signalling during periods of slack tide. For this purpose, the buoy, which is normally moored sufficiently deep to avoid fouling ships on the surface, is arranged to draw itself downwards against its natural buoyancy. The buoy A sets itself by means of vanes A<2> in the direction of the current, which rotates a propeller B and a shaft c<1> carrying a ratchet-wheel C. The wheel C carried on studs d<1>, Fig. 3, pinions D which engage between an internal gear E and a central pinion F on a shaft F<1>. External teeth e en the gear E serve to rotate a shaft h<6>, oscillating an arm J, which carries a pawl engaging a ratchetwheel j<2>, which, by means of a crank-pin j<3>, moves over the bell-clapper K<1> against a spring k. When the pin j<3> passes a dead-centre position, the spring k throws the clapper over against the opposite side of the bell, the pawl slipping over the ratchet-wheel j<2>. The rate at which the gear E turns and the frequency with which the bell is sounded is regulated by a governor operated by the pinion e' and comprising vanes rotating in oil, with which the casing containing the operative mechanism may be filled. The superfluous energy transmitted by the propeller B is transferred through the pinions D, F to a pinion G, which winds up a rack G<1> and lowers the buoy on its chain G<6>. During slack tide, the buoy rises again and, by its flotative power, turns the pinions G, F, D and the gear E, the ratchet-wheel C &c. being held against reverse rotation by a pawl C'. In this way, the signals are continued till the tide turns.

Granted: 1912-02-08
Abstract: 16,908. Siemens - Schuckertwerke. July 27, 1910, [Convention date]. Percussive hand tools.-In percussive tools such as are described in Specification 19,540 / 10, in which the blows are imparted by means of a spring and a pair of axially - alined sleeve - like cams, the rotary action of the main cam is utilized to obtain intermittent rotation of the chisel or other tool. In the form shown in Fig. 1, a hollow sleeve b, driven through a pin b<1> from a motor, rotates a cam d, which acts through a cam e<1> on the hammer c to raise this against a spring f, which then gives the blow. If no rotation of the tool is required, the tool shown in Fig. 4 is used. If rotation is required, the tool shown in Fig. 3 is used, the square end n thereof fitting a square opening in a sleeve g, which has a similar connexion with the forward end of the hammer e. Pressure on the tool causes the sleeve g to move and uncouple a toothed clutch between the sleeves g, h, which normally prevents rotation of the sleeve g, and the tangential component between the cams d, e<1> then rotates the tool w. In both cases, pressure on the tool causes increased compression of the spring f and consequently heavier blows. In a modified form, the tool may always rotate, the rotation being checked by a friction clutch. To vary the speed of rotation, two adjustable brake jaws may also be provided.
