Patent GB-191023547-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Rotary Piston Pump or Motor Members, such as are Employed in Fluid Power Transmission Devices.
Inventor: PRATT CHARLES RICHARDSON
IPC: F01B3/00
Filed: 1910-10-11
Granted: 1911-10-05
Abstract: 23,547. Pratt, C. R. Oct. 11. Revolving-cylinder pumps.-The barrel of a revolving-cylinder pump or motor, such as is employed for the hydraulic transmission of power, is held against the valve ports at the end of the casing by resilient or other means, so that leakage will not occur even when the valve ports are made as large as the cylinders and end-thrust due to fluid pressure is therefore eliminated. In the form shown in Fig. 1, a peripheral shoulder or flange 72 on the barrel is engaged by a ring 71 screwed into the outer casing in such a manner as to press the barrel against the valve seat 57. The pressure exerted by the screwed ring is adjusted by means of the worm gear shown in Fig. 3, and roller bearings are inserted between the ring and the flange. In a modified form, the shoulder is arranged within a central bore in the barrel and engages with the enlarged head of a stud projecting from the end of the casing into the bore. The pressure exerted upon the valve seat may be adjusted by means of a nut screwed on to the end of the stud outside the casing, or a spring 119 may be employed as shown in Fig. 5. In cases where the speed or pressure at which the pump or motor works is variable, the pressure fluid may be admitted to the space 110 through the passages 124, 125 to augment the end thrust when the pressure is high. The barrel is mounted at the end remote from the valve seat upon a stud 132, pivoted by a ball and socket to the centre of the actuating-disk 97 and carrying a sleeve 135 which engages with the barrel and actuating-disk by means of the annular key 138 and bevel-wheel 134 respectively. At the end adjacent to the valve seat, the barrel may be centred by means of spherical abutting surfaces as shown at 118. Specification 14,135/10 is referred to.
Patent GB-191024516-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or connected with Apparatus for Cutting or Dividing Vegetable Fats, Fatty Materials, Semi-soft Substances, and the like.
Inventor: HENDERSON SIMON BEVERIDGE
IPC: C11D13/22

Granted: 1911-10-23
Abstract: 24,516. Henderson, S. B. Oct. 22. Cutting and slicing vegetables &c.-Machines, for dividing masses of semi-soft substances, such as vegetable fats, into strands of small crosssection or into small pieces approximating to cubes, of the type in which angularly-arranged cutters having vertical and horizontal blades operate beneath a hopper are constructed with special blades for producing the strands and with special means for bending the strands to break them up into small pieces. Figs. 3 and 4 show the invention applied to a double-acting machine in which a block of material is fed by gravity on to the reciprocating cutters A. The cutters are formed with a series of horizontal surface blades A<1> pointed at their leading ends and extending angularly backward therefrom, and with vertical dividing-blades A<2>, preferably having edges sloping downwards and backwards away from the.points of the surface blades. The leading edges of the surface blades are angularly directed upwards away from the bed of the machine. The cutters may be formed from two parallel sheets of metal by forming the surface blades in the upper sheet and bending up portions of the lower sheet to form the dividing-blades. For dividing the strands into short lengths, they are caused to strike against a curved surface E carried by the cutters and thus are bent sufficiently to break them off into predetermined lengths. The invention may be applied to machines in which the block of material is reciprocated against fixed cutters, or in which the cutters or the bed of the machine are caused to travel continuously in one direction by being mounted on a drum or the like.

Abstract: 5204. Pohlig, J. March 1, 1910, [Convention date]. By acrating ascending column. - In apparatus for lifting and simultaneously cooling or granulating hot material such as molten slag, a conveying orlifting pipe is joined by a " leading- in " pipe adapted to be fed with the hot material and water in such regulated quantities that some of the water is converted into steam so as to effect the lifting of the material. Fig. 1 shows a form of apparatus in which air is also admitted to the lifting-pipe b through an inlet c, the hot material and water being run into the " leading-in " pipe a from the pipes s, w respectively. The evaporation of water in the pipe b lightens the weight of the column and so facilitates the lifting of the material therein, while the quantity of air admitted is regulated automatically by the device shown according to the speed of delivery, so that the greater the speed the less the quantity of air admitted. In a modification, the pipe a is made longer and the water is admitted at a point above the inlet of the molten material, and in a further modification, the pipe a is arranged horizontally.
