Inventor: FERRANTI SEBASTIAN ZIANI DE
IPC: F16J15/30
Filed: 1910-03-01
Granted: 1911-02-23
Abstract: 5169. Ferranti, S. Z. de. March 1. Packing, non-metallic; connected to source of fluid pressure.-Packing for a turbine or other shaft, applicable also to pistons, consists of graphite, composition, or white - metal blocks mounted in steel rings, which expand when heated to adjust the clearance. The segmental blocks b, Fig. 1, are recessed to receive flanged steel rings d, which expand the packing when heated. The steel band e surrounding the packing is embraced by a ring r formed with projections which engage the casing ring f to prevent rotation. If the packing is carried round with the shaft the friction between the rings e, v causes the ring e to expand and force the packing with it. Steam is admitted to the packing by a passage q. The dummy piston has similar packing mounted in a casing m. Both the shaft and the dummy piston may have a steadying-ring v. Where the packing is subjected to a uniform temperature, the segmental rings may be replaced by solid carbon rings. The contacting surfaces of the shaft and packing may be coned to permit adjustment by axial movement. Specifications 11,558/04, [Class 80, Mechanism &c.], and 7089/10 are referred to.

Title: Improvements in the Manufacture of Oxygen and in Apparatus and Materials therefor.
Inventor: HARGER JOHN
IPC: C01B13/02
Filed: 1910-07-25
Granted: 1911-07-06
Abstract: 17,628. Harger, J. July 25. Oxygen.-In preparing oxygen, particularly from self-heating mixtures in rod or pencil form, apparatus is used in which a continuous or intermittent feed of the oxygen-producing material is supplied to an igniting device in an enclosed space; the liberated hot oxygen passes back through or around fresh material and through a purifying-device. The material, for example the pencils B described in Specification 16,693/10, or powder, fall from a magazine E having a sliding bottom K into a long tube A ; herein they are driven forward by a piston C actuated by any suitable mechanism. An electric resistance, for example, is provided in or around one point of the tube to ignite the pencils. When the magazine E is empty, it is replaced by another E<1> which is ready charged. In operation, the oxygen generated from the ignited pencil B streams back around and through the pencils behind it in the tube A and magazine E, heating these and being cooled itself; after being started, the whole system may go on as an exothermic device, especially if the apparatus be insulated. From the magazine E, the oxygen passes through a scrubber F, wherein chlorine, carbon dioxide, &c. are removed. The scrubber consists of a chamber fairly filled with stiff fibre, wire, &c. coiled or otherwise arranged; it is prepared by pouring in a hot saturated solution of, for example, caustic potash or soda, allowing the whole to cool, and then running the liquid out. The scrubber F has a perforated bottom and an opening at the top, preferably in the form of a short chimney G to increase the draught. If desirable, openings H from the room may be brought into the chamber F. Exhausted pencils fall into a chamber I at the end of the tube A, from which they may be removed from time to time by means of an automatic valve J.
