Title: Improvements in and relating to Elastic Fluid Turbines.
Inventor: FERRANTI SEBASTIAN ZIANI DE
IPC: F01D1/02
Filed: 1911-06-15
Granted: 1911-12-14
Abstract: 14,268. Ferranti, S. Z. de. June 15. Axial-flow type; casings.-A turbine which may be used as a compressor is arranged so that the blade-carrying stator is relieved of all influences tending to cause irregular expansion. The stator o is symmetrical in construction, and is enclosed in an outer casing 11 to which the unsymmetrical steam-pipes are connected. The steam-inlets 6, 45, t<2>, and the outlets are formed by rings of holes in the part o. The regions between the casings o, 11 act as steamchests, and the separating-diaphragms 17 bear upon piston-rings 18 so that strains are not communicated to the stator o. The stator o may be made of thin sheet material strengthened by girder-like rings z, Fig. 9. The exhaust end of the stator o may be supported by a spider 8, the arms of which are angled to agree with the direction of the issuing steam, or by radial or tangential spokes. Both ends may be supported by spiders or spokes. The end members 3, 4, to which the casings o, 11 are secured, are attached to rings 23 by ribs 36 so as to lessen the transfer of heat to the bearings. These rings have bearing-lugs 24, which rest on projections 26 on the bearing housings h, m, and radial grooves 30 which engage radial lugs on the housings. In this manner, the stator is caused to expand radially, symmetrically, and maintain alinement of the parts. The' bearing housing m is fixed to its pedestal n, but the housing h is free. to move axially on its pedestal i in order to take care of longitudinal expansion. Ribs 31 on the ring 23 at this end bear on the housing and transmit thrusts, the parts being tied by suitable bolts to keep them together on cooling down. End-thrust on the rotor is lessened by a piston-like extension 21<a> of the head 3 arranged within the rotor. The packing 20, 21 is preferably of the type described in Specification 5169/10, [Class 122 (v), Stuffing-boxes &c.], and has an adjusting- sleeve 22. The turbine blades are preferably welded in place as described in Specification 11,921/03, and may be fitted with carbon packings as described in Specification 7089/10, [Class 122 (v), Stuffing-boxes &c.]. The turbine shown in Fig 1 is adapted for use with superheated steam with interstage reheating. Superheated steam is admitted at 12 for normal loads, and an auxiliary inlet 13 is provided for overloads. The steam is withdrawn from an intermediate stage at 14, is reheated, and admitted again at 15.

Granted: 1913-06-12
Abstract: 20,253. Ensor, C. A. Sept. 5. Bottles, washing. - In a bottle-washing machine, the bottles while being moved intermittently in a circular path and also raised and lowered on a cam track in a tank, are brought into line with, and treated successively with brushing-mechanism and rinsing-nozzles. The washing-tank is mounted on a central pillar which forms the main support for all the operating-mechanism. The bottles are fixed in an inclined position to arms 8 by means of rests 10 and longitudinally-adjustable spring clips 11 which engage the usual recesses in ballstoppered bottles. The arms 8 are pivoted to a central intermittently-rotated sleeve and also carry rollers 16 running on a cam track, by which means the bottles are submerged during part of each revolution. At one point, a rotary brush 33 and a U-shaped brush 32 are advanced into engagement with the bottles to clean them both internally and externally. After the retraction of the brushes and prior to reaching the delivery point, the bottles are rinsed by jets of clean water from automatically-operated nozzles 55. The sleeve carrying the arms 8 is rotated intermittently from the continuouslyrotated gear-wheel 19, as follows. A cam 25 rotating with the gear-wheel 20 depresses a spring pin 24 mounted on the gear-wheel 19 once during each revolution, so that its lower end engages a toothed plate 29 on the sleeve, thus connecting the sleeve to the wheel 19 for a limited period. The brush 33 is slidably mounted in a bracket 34 and is rotated continuously by a friction wheel 38 engaging a friction disk on the gear-wheel 19. The brush 32 is carried by a bracket slidably mounted on the rod 43 and is connected to the brush 33 by an arm 39. Both brushes are moved into engagement with the bottles simultaneously against the action of the spring 54 by mechanism actuated by the roller 47 which engages a cam 46 on the gear-wheel 19. The cam is shaped so that the brushes are moved rapidly to and fro over the bottles during the time they are in engagement therewith. When the bottles are opposite the nozzles 55, the slidably-mounted front portion of each nozzle is moved outwards to open the water valve by the cam 63 on the gear-wheel 19.
