Title: Improved Combined Antipulsator and Pressure Regulator for Gas Mains.
Inventor: THORP THOMAS
IPC: G05D16/06
Filed: 1909-05-27
Granted: 1910-05-12
Abstract: 12,508. Thorp, T. May 27. Gas meters. - Relates to a combined antipulsator of the kind described in Specification 15,697/05, and gas-pressure regulator as described in Specification 22,134/06. The apparatus is for use in gas mains, the objects being to maintain a constant pressure in the outlet pipe of the regulator, to prevent pulsations in the inlet pipe, and to prevent the pressure in the main from falling below a predetermined amount in the event of an abnormal quantity of gas being required by the gas-consuming plant. Fig. 1 shows the regulator and antipulsator E combined with a gas-meter A. Fig. 2 is a section through the regulator. The casing 1 is closed at its ends by flexible diaphragms 4, 5, which are connected through lostmotion devices to valves 15, 21 in the inlet and outlet pipes 10, 11 respectively. The diaphragms can thus move for a certain distance inwards and outwards without affecting the valves, and a gas-engine, for example, drawing gas from the outlet pipe 11 does not cause pulsations in the inlet pipe 10. If, however, an abnormal quantity of gas is withdrawn through the exit 11, the diaphragms move inwards until they contact with links 20, 22 pivoted to the valves. Further movement of the diaphragms then closes the valve 21 and opens the valve 15, thus cutting off communication between the exit 11 and inlet pipe 10 and preventing any reduction of pressure in the latter. Gas now entering the apparatus through the valve 15 distends the diaphragms until the heads of the pins 6, 7, secured to the diaphragms abut against the links 20, 22, after which further movement of the diaphragm closes the inlet valve 15 and opens the exit valve 21.

Abstract: 16,292. Messenie, P. A., and Slaughter, W. E. July 13. Arc lamps. - Two or more pairs of carbons are m o u n t e d in a carrier which is released electromagnetically when a pair is consumed and rotates so as to bring a new pair i n t o u s e. The carrier consists of disks 14, 15, Fig. 2, mounted on a stationary central tube 20 which is attached to the top plate 13 and carries a small frame 31 for the mechanism. The tube 20 also serves as a chimney. A plate 16 surrounding the disk 15 is connected to the top plate by rods 18. The inclined carbons are held in slotted tubes 53, 54, the outer tube of each pair being rigidly secured to both disks and the inner tube pivoted to the upper disk. Each inner tube 54 is provided with a socket 68 which receives a roller on a lever 70 when the tube is in position for use. The lever 70 is pivoted to the central tube 20 and linked to a lever 29 which is actuated by a series solenoid 34 under control of a dash pot 30. Rotation of the disks is arrested by a latch 35 and one of a series of wedge-shaped stops on the disk 14. The latch is raised, when carbons are consumed, by a shunt solenoid 33, the circuit through this solenoid being closed by a spring contact 105 which is depressed against a contact 102 by a projection 78 on one carbon-holder. Current is conveyed to the burning carbons by means of the latch and stop and of a spring 36 engaging contacts on the disk 14. Each carbon socket, shown separately in Fig. 5, is made heavy and is attached to a coiled conductor within the corresponding tube. The carbons are held in the tubes by platinum claws 82<c> attached to square rods, which slide into pieces 82<b> and are notched to receive the ends of catch springs. The pieces 82<b> carry guides 84 for the carbons. A series resistance 27 is mounted on the tube 20. A casing 24 is in two semicylindrical parts hinged together and provided with fastenings.

Granted: 1911-08-17
Abstract: 20,994. Lewthwaite, J. Sept. 8. [Cognate Application, 29,086/10.] Jet-wheels; combined-flow type; working-fluid supply; reversing.-The rotor of a reversible internal - combustion turbine is provided with pairs of oppositely-curved impact pockets, the gases exhausting from one pocket into the other pocket of each pair. Valves 14 in combustion chambers 3 are controlled by a reversing-lever 13 to direct the gases into the pockets 4 or 4<a> of the rotor 1. Each pocket may be fitted with vanes 7, and the gases are led therefrom, by a port 5 and passage 6, to impact on the preceding pocket, whence they exhaust into chambers 7<a>. The passages 6 may be formed in the casing, or in a fixed disk, or in the rotor. Between the pockets in the rotor, chambers 9 are provided which deliver compressed air into the exhaust chambers 7<a> and into pipes 10<a>, where it mixes with fuel from pipes 10<b> for supplying the combustion chambers 3. The gas mixture may be compressed and delivered by the device shown in Fig. 2. An explosion in the chamber 3 drives a piston 17 downwards, compressing a charge of air and gas from a cylinder 16 through a valve 25 into a retaining- chamber 26, whence it is released when the ascending piston 17 opens communication between the chambers 26, 3 by a passage 15. The return upward motion of the piston 17 is produced by a cushioning-piston 23. Oil or gas is admitted to the cylinder 16 by a needle valve 19, and air is admitted by suitable ports in the cylinder. The Provisional Specification describes a different valve-gear, operated by cams on the turbine shaff, for admitting the charge from the chamber 26 to the combustion chamber 3.
