Title: Improvements in Centrifugal Pumps.
Inventor: DAY WILLIAM
IPC: F04D29/42
Filed: 1910-03-21
Granted: 1910-11-03
Abstract: 7035. Day, W. March 21. Multi-stage centrifugal pumps; impeller blades; casings.-The impeller of a single or multi-stage pump has passages with constricted inlet and outlet openings, the outlet being smaller than the inlet. The casing has bridges 32 forming ports which are shut off from the impeller passages by the circumferential arcs 46 of the impeller as the latter rotates. The liquid is thereby compressed, and, as the impeller passage opens to the casing, the liquid rushes out. The pressure in the casing ports is reduced by the time the next impeller passage opens. The impellers are formed of two disks united by bridge-pieces 43 forming impeller passages between each pair. The impellers are attached to one end of an overhung shaft 3 by suitable arrangement of sleeves and nuts on the shaped shaft. The casing is made up in sections to facilitate assembling or dismantling the pump for inspection. The pump is supported in a trunnion bearing 5, the trunnion being grooved to receive a set-screw 18 which clamps the pump casing in any position required to give the discharge in any direction. In multi-stage pumps the impellers may be of different diameters.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Electric Switches.
Inventor: DRUSEIDT PAUL
IPC: H01H13/12
Filed: 1910-04-18
Granted: 1911-02-02
Abstract: 9399. Druseidt, P. April 18. Switches.-Loose bodies such as balls, disks, or rollers, some of which are of conducting and some of insulating material, are actuated by a press-button or other member and deflected by a fixed guide-surface so as to pass successively between fixed contacts and back again into the path of the actuating-member. The press-button switch'shown has one conducting- ball c and one non-conducting ball d enclosed in a chamber with cylindrical or helical walls,.and a pair of spring, preferably bronze, contacts e, e<1> hollowed so as to clip the ball securely. The press button forces one ball along the deflecting-surface, at the same time pushing the other ball out, the latter then rolling down in front of the press button, which is returned by a spring (not shown). Successive pushes open and close the circuit. To control a number of circuits, such as those of groups of lamps, a proportionate number of contact members and conducting and non - conducting bodies is arranged in any required order. Switches for two-point control of lamps have an equal number of conducting and non - conducting bodies arranged alternately, and separate connecting- wires attached to corresponding contact members. Multi-pole switches are constructed by arranging a number of the contact-bodies side by side. Springs, partitions, and other means may be provided for returning the bodies after they have passed through or over the contacts. A pulling, rotating, or sliding action may be used to effect the operation.

Title: Automatic Brake for the Warp beams of Looms.
Inventor: BAJER FRANZ
IPC: D03D49/08
Filed: 1910-04-23
Granted: 1910-11-17
Abstract: 9956. Bajer, F. April 23. Letting-off warps.-An automatic band brake comprises a brake-band c, Fig. 1, surrounding a brake-pulley on the warp beam, one end of the band being connected to a wooden brake lever or arm d provided with a brake block c, and the other end being connected to a shorter lever f pivoted on the lever d. A weight q is hung by draw-bars from the levers d, f. When the beam rotates, it tends to raise the lever d, the effect of the weight then increasing on the lever d and diminishing on the lever f, thus slackening the brake-band and allowing the lever d to fall, whereupon the opposite effect occurs. Thus the lever d tends to resume or return to a normal fixed position, which may be raised by tightening a screw g and thus increasing the effect of the weight on the brake-band. In a modification wherein iron and steel only are used, the longer arm or brake lever a, Fig. 2, carries a hook h from which the weight is suspended, the hook being connected by a rod c to the shorter lever c, pivoted at d to the lever a. The brakeband may be tightened by a screw-nut b.

Granted: 1910-09-08
Abstract: 11,916. Henrichsen, J., and Hemming- sen, C. J. May 13. [Addition to 25,185/08.] Cow - milkerr.s.-In a milking-machine of the type described in the parent Specification, a large outlet opening c is provided so that the atmospheric pressure acting through the opening on the diaphragm h is sufficient to depress the diaphragm when the vacuum on both sides is equalized by the aperture k. The milking thus starts automatically when the cup is applied, and, while the milk obstructs the aperture k, the diaphragm is held from the orifice c by the unbalanced vacuum below. When the milk ceases to flow, the pressure becomes the same on both sides and, as the cup is now exhausted, the diaphragm closes the orifice until the pressure in the cup rises, by leakage or admission of air by the aperture s, sufficiently to reopen the passage c. Any milk then escapes and the cup is exhausted. A pulsating action is thus set up. The diaphragm is held between grooves in the plate b and the cup m, which are connected by clamps g or bayonet-joints. An adjustable screw n forms a stop for the diaphragm.

Title: Apparatus for the Continuous Examination of Liquids.
IPC: G01N7/14
Filed: 1911-02-27
Granted: 1912-02-27
Abstract: 4910. Marks, E. C. R., ["Hydro"-Apparate-Bauanstalt, (J. von Geldern & Co.)]. Feb. 27. Testing and estimating. - In apparatus for the continuous examination of a liquid, one or more common actuating - mechanisms serve (1) 'for measuring the liquid to be tested and a reagent, (2) for mixing these liquids whereby, a gas is generated, (3) for measuring this gas, and (4) for the discharge of the consumed liquid and the gas. The volume of the gas may be measured directly, or may be measured by its heat of reaction or combustion. In one form of apparatus, supplies of the liquid to be tested and a reagent are maintained at a level m-n, Fig. 1, in vessels 4, 8, and pass from these through the cock I into pipettes 6, 10. Below these pipettes are arranged mixing-vessels and a second cock, which is first positioned to allow liquid from a previous test to escape, and put the mixing-vessels 13 and the recording-bell 20 in communication with the atmosphere through a pipe 18. The cocks I, II are operated, and the liquids pass together into the vessel 12, from which they are siphoned into the vessel 13, gas passing into the pipettes to allow this through the passage 16. Gas generated as the result of the mixing causes the bell 20 to rise, making a record. Excess rise of the bell closes contacts 23 and rings an alarm. To operate the cocks, cooling-liquid from the jacket of the vessel 4 runs into a suspended vessel 17, and is intermittently siphoned therefrom, producing a rise and fall of the weighted rod 29, which carries racks meshing with pinions on the cocks I, II. In the form shown in Fig. 2, the pipettes 6, 10 are filled with the liquids to the level m-n, and the liquids are forced into the mixing-vessel 13 by the compression of the air in a vessel 17 produced when the level of the liquid in this vessel reaches the pipe 30. Liquid escapes from the mixing-vessel 13 through the seal 20. The filling of the vessel 17 also operates a seal 23, first cutting-off the escape 18, and then connexion between the mixing-vessel and the recording-mechanism by the pipe 19. Continued flow of liquid into the vessel 17 starts a siphon 21, and the vessel 17 is emptied. As a consequence, the seal 23 falls, first putting the mixing-vessel in communication with the recording-device and obtaining a result of the analysis, and afterwards opening the tube 18 for gas to escape. The pipettes 6, 10 are again filled. In another form, the pipettes 6, 10, Fig. 3, are emptied by the rise of the vessel I, and at the same time an equal quantity of gas is withdrawn from the system into the vessel 40 by the fall of the vessel III. The recording- mechanism is connected to the pipe 19, and the gas and liquid are allowed to escape at the end of a test by the fall of liquid in the vessel 39 unsealing pipes 38, 15.
