Title: Improvements in or relating to Rotary Pumps.
Inventor: RAWORTH JOHN SMITH
IPC: F04C2/344
Filed: 1910-07-27
Granted: 1911-04-27
Abstract: 17,875. Raworth, J. S., and Browett, T. July 27. Fixed-abutment type; packing drums &c.- The piston vanes 15 of a rotary pump are displaced axially to effect the pumping action by a cam 16 which acts upon a part of the vane that does not come into contact with the pump casing. The ends of the vanes which contact with the end walls of the casing are cut off square, and the end walls are made up of parallel segments. In high-speed pumps, the curve of the cam is parabolic and the sum of the axial velocities of the blades is a constant. A method of obtaining the curve is described in the Specification. The cam may be formed on the casing, the casing being divided longitudinally, or it may be formed separately and secured by screws. Saw cuts 17 .are made in the blades 15 to make them slightly elastic. This tends to prevent leakage of fluid along the grooves. Leakage is further prevented by fitting a ring or ring segments 18 in the rotor. These segments have bevelled edges which tend to keep the vanes against the casing in spite of wear. Grooves may be formed in the casing on each side of the cam, and ridges 19 on the rotor project into recesses in the abutment on each end wall. Further packing-devices comprise graphite or other blocks inserted in recesses in the abutments and rotor, and pressed against the rotor and casing respectively by springs. The use of graphite prevents seizing at high speeds.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Electric Switchboards.
Inventor: ECKSTEIN AUGUST
IPC: H02B11/18
Filed: 1910-10-15
Granted: 1911-10-12
Abstract: 23,894. Eckstein, A., and Heap, A. C. Oct. 15. Switchboards; oil switches. - Relates to switchboards for hightension currents and consists in forming a vertically built-up switchboard out of separate iron-clad chambers which contain respectively the bus-bars, the isolating- switches, the oil-switch contacts, and the oil enclosure, mechanical interlocks being provided to prevent the disconnexion of the separate chambers except under safe conditions. In a three-phase alternating- current switchboard constructed according to the invention, the ironclad chamber H for the bus-bars H' is made so that successive lengths can be added on as required. Below the chamber H is bolted an iron-clad chamber G enclosing three sets of isolating-switches. One set G' connects the busbars to the oil-switch contacts a<2>, and a second set G<2> connects the oil-switch contacts a<3> to the feeders, these two sets being constructed with clip and blade contacts. A third set of isolating- switches G<3> connects measuring and indicating instruments (not shown) to transformers on the feeder side of the switches, and is composed of abutting spring contacts. Below the chamber G, and attached by screws and wing-nuts, is an iron-clad chamber A enclosing switches of the loose-handle overload and no-volt release type as described in Specification 23,525/10, and below this chamber is a similarly-attached ironclad oil-bath B in which are immersed current and potential transformers b<3>, b<4> for feeding the measuring and indicating instruments. In taking the structure apart, the chamber A is first unfastened from the chamber G and the two chambers A, B lowered together, thus opening all three sets of isolating-switches. This operation can only be performed after the oilswitch handle a<6> has been turned to the ' off ' position so as to unlock a quadrant a<7> from a lug a<8>. To take the oil-chamber B away from the switch chamber A, both must be lowered together until a locking-lever K clears a pin g<3> and is unlocked by a spring k<1>, thus ensuring that the isolating-contacts are completely disconnected. Lugs a<9> and a rod a<10> are provided to guide the downward movement. According to a modification, the isolating-contacts are of the reinforced spring clip type described in Specification 23,526/10, and are loosely mounted so as to allow some lateral play between the adjacent chambers. In a further modification, the chambers A, B, Fig. 4, are carried by lugs 0 on nuts P, which travel down along screws Q when these are turned by ratchets R. Both parts A, B necessarily move together until far enough down for lugs a<9> attached to the chamber A to rest against stops a<11>. The interlocking-lever between A and D may be replaced by an interlocking-lever or other interlocking- device between G and B. The measuring and indicating instruments are either mounted on a separate panel or on a bracket T, Fig. 4, attached to the chamber A.
