Title: Explosion Turbine
Inventor: STINNER PAUL
Filed: 1905-04-27
Granted: 1906-01-25
Abstract: 8881. Stinner, P. April 27. Gas turbines.-Relates to an explosion turbine having a movable combustion chamber comprising a cylinder and two pistons, with means for cooling the same, and also to the guide blades and vanes. Gas or explosive mixture enters through ports b, Fig. 1, into the chamber c, acts on the differential pistons and moves them to the left, closing the ports b. Ignition now takes place, and, when the gases have attained their maximum pressure, the cooled exhaust ports g, which are formed as guideblades, are opened, and the gases act on the blades. When the pressure falls, and on the further movement of the pistons, the ports i are opened, and compressed air enters and scavenges the chamber. By means of the crank p and fly-wheel q, the chamber c is brought back to charging position, and the operation renewed. The parts are kept cool by circulating water. The pistons are also cooled. and one piston is provided with orifices o to throw water on to the blades. To utilize the gases better, the turbine may be formed first as a radial, and then as an axial, turbine. To prevent axial thrust, two or more such combinations may be on the same shaft, and explosions produced simultaneously. The compression of the gas and air is effected by the compressor v, Fig. 4. The combustion chamber is formed as a hollow cylinder to support the shaft. Modifications of the combustion chamber are shown.

Abstract: 3709. Kay, W. E., and McGregor, G. Feb. 15. Dyeing.-Cotton, linen, and other textile fabrics are printed by a process comprising: (1) preparation with an alkaline naphthol solution by padding or otherwise, as usual ; (2) printing in the same operation and machine, with, first, an azo colour or colours, and then an acid or resist or resists more or less overlapping this azo colour ; and (3) printing, padding, or impregnating the fabric with a colour or mordant appropriate to the resist, followed, in the latter case, by a further operation of dyeing. After preparation the fabric is dried, when required, and printed by means of one or more rollers, with a design in, for example, diazotized p-nitraniline. Preferably after passing one or more empty nips, the fabric is printed with the acid or resist or resists so that the print or prints fall wholly or partially upon the azo colour or colours. The resist may be either for white or combined with colour. The next applied dye may be either a basic or acid colour with its appropriate mordant, or a sulphur colour, or a colour developable by the naphthol preparation. The colour is finally fixed or developed, when necessary. When, alternatively, a mordant has been applied, the colour is subsequently dyed on after ageing and dunging. Specification No. 27,539, A.D. 19u3, is referred to.
