Title: Improvements in or relating to Turbines.
Inventor: GRAEMIGER BENJAMIN
Filed: 1913-01-17
Granted: 1913-07-24
Abstract: 1390. Graemiger, B. Jan. 30, 1912, [Convention date]. Working-fluid supply.-An explosion turbine works in conjunction with a piston compressor in such a manner that the combustion products first perform work on the compressor and afterwards pass to the turbine, the arrangement being such that a more even flow of motive fluid through the turbine nozzles is obtained. Compressed air passes from a reservoir h through a pipe i to the combustion chamber k. Fuel is admitted by a pipe l. In open communication with the combustion chamber is a cylinder c containing a piston a connected to the piston b of an aircompressor f. The space at the right-hand side of the piston a communicates by way of a pipe d with a large reservoir e. The explosive mixture in the chamber k is ignited when the piston a reaches its extreme left-hand position. The explosion forces the piston a to the right. The consequential movement of the piston b forces atmospheric air through a check valve m and pipe g to the reservoir h. The piston a is then forced back by the pressure in the reservoir e and that portion of the combustion products remaining in the cylinder c is consequently forced into the turbine through the nozzle u. At the same time a fresh charge of air is drawn into the compressor through a check valve n. The above cycle of operations is then repeated. Any leakage of air in the reservoir e is replaced by admitting fresh compressed air through a valve r from the compressor f. Water or other liquid pressure may be substituted for air-pressure on the right-hand side of the piston a. In a modification, twin compressors acting in conjunction with a single explosion chamber are used, and the reservoirs e, h are combined in one single reservoir.

Abstract: 3579. Chapsal, F. J., and Saillot, A. L. E. March 7, 1914, [Convention date]. Fluid-pressure.-In compressed-air brakes for railway trains, a regulator is fitted in the pipe from the distributor to the brake cylinder, whereby the flow of air to the cylinder is restricted when the train-pipe pressure falls below a predetermined minimum value. The regulator is connected at A, Fig. 2, to the auxiliary reservoir through the distributor, at C to the brake cylinder, and at B to the train-pipe, and comprises a piston P provided with an annular cavity 5, 6 which is adapted to.register either with the large passages 3, 4 or with the small passages 7, 8, 9, 10, according to whether the trainpipe pressure is greater or less than the predetermined minimum. The pipe B, in the form shown in Fig. 2, is connected to the discharge port of the accelerator described in Specification 17,662/14, and when the pressure in the chamber 1 is sufficient to depress the piston P, the exhaust passage 2 of the accelerator is opened. In another arrangement, the pipe B, Fig. 3, is connected directly to the train-pipe, the passage of the air to and from the brake cylinder is through the piston chamber D, and the piston is raised to maintain the large passages 1, 2 open until the pressure in the chamber D overcomes the pressure on the lower side of the piston. The piston may be arranged to cut out successively the passages 3, 4, 5, Fig. 5, leaving only the passage 6 operative when the piston P is fully depressed. The regulator may be rendered inoperative by a cock S, which may be turned to connect the pipe 2 to the annular space surrounding the valve. In a further form described in the Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a), the casing of the regulator is connected at E, F to the brake cylinder and the triple valve respectively, and at D to the train-pipe. When the piston is raised by the train-pipe pressure, air passes to the brake cylinder both through the port w and the passages h, d, c. When the piston is depressed, the passage h is closed and the flow is restricted. This subjectmatter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.
