IPC: F04D3/02
Filed: 1909-04-01
Granted: 1909-12-31
Abstract: 214. Calvert, J. C. Jan. 4. Helico - centrifugal pumps; worm pumps.- In that type of centrifugal pump or fan in which the pumping is effected by centrifugal force and screw action combined, the impeller rotates in free air without any surrounding casing. Fig. 1 shows the impeller and the suction and delivery passages i, j j respectively. The impeller comprises a core c, blades b, and an outer cover a, preferably of the general shape shown. The whole is rotated in free air in bearings e, f. The receiving- chamber 3 rotates with the impeller, and is preferably shaped and fitted with a core 4, as shown. Leakage at the running joints is prevented by labyrinth or other stuffing-boxes k, l. The joint k may be supplied with fluid under pressure from the delivery side of the pump. In order to balance end-thrust, a spindle r, the end s of which runs in a piston q, may be attached to the impeller, and the piston subjected to the pressure of fluid led from the delivery side by a pipe t. In a modification, Fig. 4, the impeller core c is secured to a shaft d, and the receiving-chamber x is stationary. The running joint at 2 may be packed, or the slight injector action may be relied on to prevent leakage outwards. The core c may be dispensed with, the central space being closed by a disk u, Fig. 1. The area of the passages through the pump is kept constant, or decreases slightly towards the outlet.
Patent GB-190909467-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Variable Speed Gears.
Inventor: PARKES BENJAMIN
IPC: F16H29/14
Filed: 1909-04-21
Granted: 1909-10-21
Abstract: 9467. Parkes, B. April 21. Variable - s p e e d epicyclic gearing.- Relates to gearing of the class in which one element of an epicyclic train is variably controlled, the controlling- means comprising relatively oscillating members which rotate at equal mean speeds. Fig. 1 shows a form applied to a cycle hub. A driving-sleeve 3 carries a disk 6, upon which are journaled planet-pinions 35. The pinions 35 mesh with the driven element, a sun-gear 37 secured to the hub 38, and with the controlled element, an internally-toothed ring 26. A crank 7, mounted on an extension 4 of the sleeve 3, is connected by a link 14 to a ring 16 supported on a ball bearing 17 upon a movable eccentric 18. The ring 16 is connected by a link 21 to a ring 9, supported on a ball bearing 10 concentrically upon the sleeve 4. When power is applied to the sleeve 3, the tendency is for the ring 26 to yield and 'run away.' Ratchet clutches 30, 31 connecting the ring 26 to the ring 9 and to the disk 6, respectively, prevent this from happening. When the eccentric 18 is turned about a fixed eccentric 19 until the ring 16 is concentric with the spindle 11, the gearing rotates solid, yielding the lowest speed. On turning the part 18 so as progressively to displace the axis of the ring 16, an oscillatory motion of increasing amplitude is imparted to the ring 16. This action is compounded in the case of the ring 9, which rotates turn for turn with the disk 6 always, but oscillates relatively thereto with increasing amplitude. The ring 26 is thus driven backwards by ratchet action, so that the resultant speed imported to the gear 37 and the hub 38 is increased. The part 18 is operated by turning a part 24 concentric with the spindle 11, there being a pin-and-slot connexion. The arrangement permits of 'free-wheeling.' An adaptation of this gear to a cycle crank-bracket is also described.
