Patent GB-191108788-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Governing Mechanism Elastic Fluid Turbines.
IPC: G05D13/00
Filed: 1911-04-08
Granted: 1911-08-03
Abstract: 8788. Vereinigte Dampfturbinen-Ges. April 8, 1910, [Convention date]. Regulating.-In a governing-device for mixed-pressure turbines, the high - pressure valve 5 and low - pressure valve 4 are operated by servomotors 9, 8. The valve stems 10, 11 are continued upwards and connected to a lever 12, pivoted to a stem 13 attached to a multiple-piston valve 28. The stem 13 is also pivoted to a lever 14, the other end of which is pivoted to a rod 15 actuated by a speed - regulating governor. To the lever 14 is also pivoted the stem 17 of a valve 18. In the position shown, the low-pressure valve is open and the highpressure valve closed. The operation of the device is as follows:-If the load increases, the rod 15 is pulled down by the governor, causing the lever 14 to rotate about its point of attachment to the stem 13. The valve 18 is consequently lowered, and oil or other motive fluid is admitted to a pipe 23, and passes thence through the valve 28 to pipes 25, 27 to the servo-motors 8, 9. In the former, it merely serves to hold the piston in its upper position. In the latter, it raises the piston, thereby opening the valve 5. This action causes the lever to rotate about its point of attachment to the stem 10, thereby lifting the valve 28, whereupon a secondary supply of motive fluid from the pipe 30 is put into communication with the pipe 25 thereby holding the piston of the servo-motor 8 in its upper position in spite of any leakage in the valve 28. At the same time the valve 18 is raised to its mid-position. As the speed increases, the reverse action takes place, and the parts resume their normal position as shown in the Figure. If the load now decreases, the governor raises the rod 15 and lever 14. The valve 18 is thereupon raised, and fluid is admitted to a pipe 22, and thence through the valve 28 to a pipe 24, whereupon the valve 4 is closed. The valve 28 is thereupon lowered, and fluid is admitted to the pipe 26 to hold down the valve 5 firmly. The downward movement of the lever 14 returns the valve 18 to its midposition.

Title: Cartridge Feeding Device for Automatic Fire Arms.
Inventor: BJOERGUM NILS
IPC: F41A9/33
Filed: 1911-07-05
Granted: 1912-02-08
Abstract: 15,661. Bj÷rgum, N. July 5. Machine guns. - Relates to cartridge - feed mechanism for recoiling-barrel automatic guns, and consists in a construction wherein the cartridge-carrier transfers a cartridge from the belt into the breech, and is then caused to slide up rearwardly-inclined guides upon the still advancing breech - bolt, so that the carrier becomes disengaged from the cartridge in the breech and is engaged with the next cartridge in the belt. The cartridge-carrier 91 is shown in two positions, in Figs. 2 and 3, on the inclined guides 94 on the breech-bolt 1. When the breech is closed, the carrier is held in the highest position on the guides by a spring catch 95 which engages with a notch 96 in the guides, and the jaws 92 of the carrier are engaged with a cartridge in the feed-belt 206. When, during the recoil and the opening of the breech, the parts reach the position shown in Fig. 2, a lug 102 on the pin 107 of the catch 95 strikes a stop 97 on the gun-casing and lifts the catch. The further recoil of the breech-bolt then causes the carrier to slide down the guides into the position shown in Fig. 3, so that, when the breech-bolt advances, the cartridge is carried into the breech. During this movement, a shoulder 105 on the carrier strikes the rear face of the breech-lugs 7 and stops the forward motion of the carrier, which is then moved radially outwards by the guides 94 on the still advancing breech-bolt and the jaws 92 are disengaged from the cartridge. Further forward movement of the barrel and breech-block together takes place when a barrel-retaining bolt 58 is depressed by the advancing breech-block. In this movement, the shoulder 105 hits a stop 100 on the feed-box and moves the carrier to the top of the guides 94, causing the jaws 92 to engage with the next cartridge in the belt.

Abstract: 16,310. Spinnerei & Weberei Steinen Akt.-Ges., and Koechlin, A. G. July 14. Shuttles, changing bobbins and the like in, automatically.-In automatic spoolchanging apparatus such as is described in Specification 9468/08, the spool or bobbin tube with the weft end disposed within the bore or within the hollow end thereof, as shown in Figs. 7 and 8 respectively, is subjectel to the action of compressed air to remove the weft end when the spool or bobbin assumes its lowest position r, Fig. 6, or its second lowest position q. The compressed air is introduced through a pipe f, Figs. 3 and 6, provided with a valve g operated, when the spool reaches the lowest position, by lever mechanism h, k from the shaft 1, as shown in Fig. 3, so that the valve g is opened when the shaft 1 is turned, and before the transferrer 20 is operated. The levers h, k need not be in rigid connexion with the valve, and the lever h may have a hook or heel at its end to open the valve to anv required extent. The valve may be mounted on the same axis as the spool-feeding shaft m, Fig. 6, and be actuated by a strap n passing round a pulley t on the valve, this strap being connected to a lever p on the shaft 1 and to a spring o. The strap n may be arranged to be normally slack, so that it has to be moved for some distance before the pulley t is actuated. If the weft thread is to be blown out when the spool reaches the position q, the mechanism described in the before-mentioned Specification is employed, whereby the air valve and transferrer 20 are simultaneously actuated.
