Title: Improvements in or relating to space heaters
Inventor: SWENSON MARCUS OSCAR
IPC: F28D1/02
Filed: 1952-06-17
Abstract: 728,147. Centrifugal blowers; turbines. WANEK, O. N., KITCHEN, K. J., SWENSON, P. F., SWENSON, M. O., COOPERRIDER, M. T., STUPKA, W. G., WEEKS, J. A., and SCHNEIDER, E. P. June 17, 1952, No. 15245/52. Classes 110 (1) and 110 (3). [Also in Groups XIII, XXIX and XXXIV] A centrifugal blower for use in a space-heating unit (see Group XIII) comprises a series of elements mounted in separate compartments on a common shaft driven by a turbine disc 43. The elements are formed from metal stampings 56 secured in pairs in axially-compressed condition by sleeves 57, 58, washers 59, and snaprings 55 on a shaft 54. Each element is mounted in a compartment 26, the sheet-metal walls of which are formed with air openings 25 surrounding the shaft whereby air, after passing over the radiator R can enter the compartments and be discharged into the space to be heated. The shaft is mounted in carbon bearing-sleeves 62, 63 resiliently supported by spiral springs 64, 65 in the outer casing (see Group XXXIV), and is rotated by a vaned aluminium turbine disc 43 driven by steam to be supplied to the radiator. The supply of steam is regulated by a valve V controlled thermostatically by a bellows chamber 92 leading by a stainless steel tube 94 to a bulb 91 containing a vaporizable fluid such as methyl alcohol. The bellows diaphragm is connected to the valve V by a stem 80 and is subject' to the steam pressure in the casing 93 and to vapour pressure within. The bulb is situated in a copper air-convection tube 100, the wall of which is traversed by steam pipe S, so that it is sensitive to the temperature of the steam and of the air in the space to be heated passing upwardly through the tube 100. A damper 108 connected to a bimetallic coil 105 subject to the air temperature controls the flow of air into the tube 100, a cam member 113 being provided to adjust the coil to operate the damper at the desired space temperature. When the space temperature reaches the desired degree, the damper closes the tube 100 so that the bulb is subjected only to the heat from the incoming steam, thus causing the fluid to vaporize, expand the bellows 92, and close the valve V so as to cut off the supply of steam to the turbine and the radiator. The valve V comprises an inner needle valve 81 carried by the stem 80 adapted to close the aperture 82 in a sleeve needle 83 adapted, in turn, partly to close the opening in the casing 93 which is pressed into an opening 86 in the turbine case. The interior of the sleeve needle is open to the steam in the casing 93 through apertures 84, and the sleeve is connected to the needle 81 by means of a lost-motion connection.

Abstract: 1391567 Hydraulic couplings L PELLEGRINO and G MIGLIARINI 30 March 1973 [30 March 1972] 15413/73 Heading F2C A fluid coupling for transmitting drive between a casing 10 and a shaft 12 comprises a positive displacement pump mounted between these members and having a pump body 22, this pump drawing in liquid or gas from a chamber 11 and pumping it back to the chamber via an adjustable valve formed between an axially movable number 38 and a part 36 of an annular outlet manifold 35. The pump shown is a gear pump with a sun-wheel on shaft 12 meshing with planet gears 28 rotatably mounted on a cover 18 of the casing 10, but this pump can be a piston pump (Figs. 7 and 8, not shown), a vane pump or a lobe pump. The valve member 38 shown is mounted on an axially movable sleeve 40, spring urged to the open position by springs 56 and movable by rotation of a wheel 48 against this spring bias, the wheel 48 rotating a sleeve 45 which is screwed into a sleeve 49 affixed to a supporting hub 15 for the coupling, the sleeve 45 moving sleeve 40 via a thrust bearing 46. This movement controls the torque transmitted by the coupling. The member 38 in the illustrated embodiment is spring urged by springs 55 to the closed position to speed up the increase of pressure in the coupling and the take up of drive. The coupling is described incorporated in the drive to a winding apparatus wherein the increase in torque transmitted as material is wound on to a drum and the rate of rotation and diameter of the drum decrease and increase respectively serves to keep the tension of the material being wound substantially constant. A relief valve 54 is provided.
