Title: Improvements in Turbines.
Inventor: KIENAST ARNOLD
Filed: 1908-04-30
Granted: 1909-04-30
Abstract: 9367. Kienast, A. May 6, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Elastic - fluid turbines. - The steam passages M, N, O between the blades of the rotor are sharply restricted at the entrance and afterwards expanded, so as to cause, as the steam passes from the restricted part, first a rapid expansion of the steam and afterwards a "compression shock," during which the pressure rises to its initial valve, and simultaneously the imparting to the rotor of the energy of the steam due to its initial velocity. The invention consists in providing a free passage of the steam around the outer edge of the rotor so that the pressure shall be the same behind as before. Fig. 4 shows, diagrammatically, the changes in steam pressure. When the steam is passing through the nozzle, the pressure falls from I to I<a> corresponding to the increase in kinetic energy. At the commencement of the expanding portion of the blade passage, the steam pressure falls to II as the result of " over expansion," and then, the "compression shock" following, the pressure rises to III, which, owing to the free passage for the steam round the rotor, is equal to I<a>. [Reference has been directed under Section 7 of Patents &c. Act, 1907, to Specifications No. 19,246, A.D. 1896, No. 6745, A.D. 1904, and No. 15,142, A.D. 1906.]

Filed: 1908-07-09
Granted: 1909-07-08
Abstract: 14,600. Vickery, F. W. July 9. Feeding sheets.-Relates to pneumatic apparatus for separating sheets of paper from a pile, of the kind in which the suction nozzle is caused to bend up the edge of the top sheet, the motion of the nozzle being obtained by the partial vacuum caused by the closing of the suction orifices by the adhering sheet, and consists in so mounting the nozzle that it can readily adapt itself to the surface of the pile, and in causing the sucker to roll so that it shall not rub or smear the adhering sheet. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, the tubular suction nozzle 1 is mounted in brackets 3 sliding on arms 4 secured to a rod 11 capable of turning in bearings 12 inside the cylinder 13, which is connected to the source of suction. To a bracket 36 on the arm 4 is pivoted a lever 34 connected by a link 19 t) the suction tube 1 and by a second link 33 to a crank 32 on the tube. The lever 34 is connected by a pin 20 to a cross-head 21 integral with the piston 22, so that, as the orifices are covered by a sheet and a partial vacuum produced in the cylinder 13, the tube 1 is caused to roll without rubbing the top sheet. The sheet is then lifted and carried forwards by a chain 27, wound on a rock-shaft 28, and a lever 25 which supports the cylinder 13. A spring 23 returns the piston 22 after the removal of the sheet. The suction tube 1 is formed with a number of orifices 2, over which collars 5 with coincident orifices are secured by set-screws. The orifices may also be formed in enlarged portions of the tube 1. In a modification the suction tube 1 is rotated by a chain wound thereon and connected to the lower end of a lever which bears against a rod passing through the cylinder 13 and resting in contact with the inside of the piston 22. In a further modification the socker is in the form of a divided semicircular casing, one part of which slides within the other and is connected by a chain with a piston in a cylinder in communication with the sucker. The movable part is returned by a spring.

Abstract: 18,586. Nerom, H. van. Sept. 4. Locks, key; latches.-The latch spindle can be disconnected from the outside knob, and in the case of a night-latch from the key. In the form shown in Fig. 2, the spindle 6 is secured to the inside handle 7 and carries the follower 4. The outside handle 16 has a spindle 15 with pins 14 which normally engage grooves 13 in the follower 4, so that the latch can be operated by turning either handle. The outside handle is disconnected by pulling out the inside handle and holding it out against the action of the spring 12 by means of a catch 10. This same movement of the inside handle brings a projection 18 on the follower behind or into a slot 25 in a lever 19, by means of which the auxiliary bolt 21 is operated by a key, and locks this bolt in either the shot or withdrawn position. In the case of the night latch shown in Fig. 7, the latch follower is recessed to receive the key from the outside and has a notch 32, Fig. 8, for the key-bit, by means of which the key operates the latch. The key pin 33 is mounted on a disk 30 carried by a rod passing through the spindle 6 of the inside handle. By pulling the handle outwards, the follower 5 is brought flush with the disk 30, and the key remains inoperative. The side plates 34 of the latch are secured in place by rivets 35 passing through the door.

Abstract: 21,133. Lister, F. Oct. 7. [Patent of Addition to No. 4458, A.D. 1907.] Thread-severing arrangements.-In connexion with the doffing-mechanism described in Specification No. 4458, A.D. 1907, means are provided to sever the threads after a few turns have been wound on the empty bobbins. These comprise two co-operating toothed cutter-bars, movable into and out of operative position, one of the bars being movable laterally to effect the cutting and being controlled or operated by a cam on the tin roller on re-starting the machine. A notched cutter-bar 9 is moved relatively to the other bar 6 by one of the cams described in the above-mentioned Specification, or otherwise, so as to separate the teeth of the bars and at the same time to remove the lever 29 from the end of a bar 23, thus allowing this bar to be moved longitudinally to place feet 22 beneath pillars-which support the cutter-bars. The bar 23 is connected with the spindle-rail and is thus elevated therewith when the spindle-rail is returned .to its normal position after doffing, the movable cutter-bar being then engaged by the end of a rod 18. As the cutter-bars move upwards a projection on one of the supports releases a lever system 36, 34, 33 and allows a spring to move a lever 14<1> into the path of a cam on the tin roller. When the frame is started, the cam engages the lever 14<1> and withdraws the rod 18 from the bar 9, which is moved longitudinally by a spring and severs the threads. This movement actuates the lever 29, thus removing the supports of the cutter-bars, which, as they drop, remove the lever 14<1> from the path of the cam. The rod 18 is returned by a spring. It is stated in the Provisional Specification that the cutter-bar may be moved by a fixed surface with which it engages.
