Title: Improvements in Maintaining Close Contact and Tightness between Parts of Machines Exposed to Heat
Filed: 1907-06-12
Granted: 1908-06-12
Abstract: 13,590. Akt.-Ges. Brown, Boveri, et Cie. June 18, 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Elastic-fluid turbines.-In order to maintain the tightness or closeness of fit of machine parts secured together by shrinking when exposed to heat, the beating-medium is conducted through the outer member and brought into contact with the inner member so that both members or parts are practically uniformly heated. Fig. 1 shows the application of the invention to a steam turbine. The blade-carrying drum a is shrunk upon the spindle, and passages f in the drum communicate with a groove g in the spindle. Steam entering by the inlet d travels through the passages f to the groove g, thereby heating both the drum and spindle uniform]y. The Specification in the original form as published under the Act of 1901 comprises also arrangements in which through passages are formed in the parts, through which hot fluid is circulated from a high-pressure part of the anparatus to a part where the pressure is lower. In one case, a drum is shrunk on a spindle ; in another form a drum or flange on one part is bolted or otherwise firmly connected to a flange on the other part. This subject-matter does not appear in the Complete Specification as accepted.

Title: Improvements in Internal Combustion Parallel Flow Turbines.
Inventor: BROOKE JAMES
Filed: 1907-11-09
Granted: 1908-07-30
Abstract: 24,842. Brooke, J., and Brooke, W. Nov. 9. Elastic-fluid turbines.- Explosive gases are compressed by oppositelydisposed reciprocating pumps 3 and are delivered to chambers 2, whence they pass into the explosion chambers 9 when the valves 10 are opened by the cam 13 and levers 11, 12. From the chambers 9 the gases pass, when exploded, through nozzle passages 15, of which there are three to each chamber, and expand in the turbine. The gases are fired by sparks which pass between the plugs 18 and the ends of the valves 17 which control the outlet nozzles 15. When these passages are closed, the valves contact with the plugs, preventing the occurrence of sparks. As the valves are opened by the cam 22, the sparks pass and ignite the gases which then pass through the opened nozzles. The stages of the turbine are separated by diaphragms having nozzle passages in them, and the stages increase in diameter towards the exhaust. The fixed intermediates 34 extend completely round between the wheels 16. According to the Provisional Specification, a fan may be used instead of the pumps 3 as a compressor.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Secondary or Storage Batteries.
Inventor: MARINO PASCAL
IPC: H01M4/20
Filed: 1909-02-04
Granted: 1909-11-25
Abstract: 2683. Marino, P. Feb. 4. Electrodes for lead accumulators are pasted with an agglomerate composed, for example, of pure glycerine, potassium, or other alkali silicate solution, and soluble starch, mixed with lead powder to make it conductive and then incorporated with finely divided litharge, three times as much litharge as lead powder being added. When the paste is dry, the electrodes are immersed in a bath composed of equal volumes of sulphuric and phosphoric acids of specific gravities 1À025 and 1À12 respectively, and the silica thus precipitated is removed along with the starch and soluble alkali salts by washing in water, leaving the active material in a porous state. The active material is converted into porous lead by arranging the electrodes as cathodes in a dilute sulphuric acid bath containing dummy anodes of pure lead. The electrodes may be used with the wooden separators described in Specification 2641/09.

Granted: 1910-02-17
Abstract: 3945. Soda Stream Ltd., and Hucks, W. Feb. 17. Counters for articles, actuated by pneumatic means. -Counting-apparatus used in connexion with apparatus such as that described in Specification 18,435/03, [Class 14, Beverages], for aerating liquid contained in bottles &c., consists of two counters, both of which are directly actuated by the pressure of the gas, as described in Specification 23,718/04, when bottles of one size are being charged, whereas only one counter is actuated when bottles of a second size are being charged. The counters 8, 9 are actuated respectively by a crank-pin 7 and a pin 10 which engage recesses 5, 6 in the piston-rod 2. The piston-rod is reciprocated by the gas-pressure at each operation. The pin 10, which actuates the counter 9 through a link and crank, is however adapted to be disengaged from the recess 6 when a spring-controlled lever 13, pivoted at 15 and provided with a slot engaging the pin, is rocked by a flexible connexion 19. This flexible connexion is preferably controlled by the means for holding the bottles in position during charging. The table 25, Fig. 4, cannot be lowered to accommodate large bottles until a forked slideplate 23 is moved to the left, so as to allow a rod 26 projecting from the table to pass through an opening 27. The slide-plate can, however, only be thus moved when the slide 28, 29 and the flexible connexion 19 are depressed manually by means of the thumb-piece 20, so as to allow the forked end of the slide-plate, see Fig. 6, to engage the narrowed portion 29 of the slide. The arrangement described can be modified, and more than two counters can be employed.

Granted: 1910-07-14
Abstract: 20,586. Bailey, J. N. Sept. 8. Regulating.-In a marine turbine plant with electric transmission of power, an hydraulic, mechanical, or electric brake is applied automatically when the supply of motive fluid is cut off. Mounted upon the shaft of the turbine 1, Fig. 1, is a bladed disk 5, situated within a bladed casing 4, and acting, when fluid is admitted to the interior of the casing, as an hydraulic brake. The steam-chest 8 is fitted with valves 11, 12, the latter being operated by a solenoid 13 through link-work. This valve mechanism is similar to that described in Specification 12,075/08. The lever 14 also controls a piston 17, which places a pipe 25, and consequently the interior of the casing 4, in communication with the condenser or with a source of water supply. When the turbine is running normally, the valve 12 is open and the disk 5 is running in the condenser vacuum, a check valve 29 preventing ingress of air through the escape pipe 27 of the casing 4. When the valve 12 is closed, water is simultaneously admitted to the casing 4 and the turbine rapidly stopped. The water flows out past the check valve 29. A valve 28 regulates the pressure of the water. In the modification shown in Fig. 2, a band brake 33 is operated by a solenoid 38, which in turn is controlled by a switch 37 connected to the valve - actuating lever. The controlling-solenoid 13 also operates a valve 42, whereby water is sprayed through nozzles 44 to cool the brake. In a further modification, the braking-effect is obtained by means of a load consisting of a liquid rheostat connected in circuit between the generator and motor.
