Title: Improvements in Thermo Dynamic Motors.
Inventor: HAINES LEWIS AUGUSTUS
Filed: 1909-01-27
Granted: 1909-09-23
Abstract: 1997. Haines, L. A. Jan. 27. Working-fluid supply; cooling parts.-Thermo-dynamic engines. are constructed with a number of driving-elements to which motive fluid is supplied successively, to render them alternately active and inactive, whereby the inactive element or elements may cool while the active element or elements generate power. The invention is described in connexion with internal - combustion turbines. Two sets of turbine blades 4, Fig. 3, are mounted upon dished plates 3, secured to a shaft 1. Each of the elements 4 is provided with a separate arrangement for the supply of working fluid. As these arrangements are identical, one only will be described and shown. The shaft 1 drives a shaft 5 through reduction gearing 7, 8, 11, 12. On the shaft 5 is an eccentric 18, which operates the pistons of a series of gas-compressing pumps 13, and an eccentric 19. which reciprocates plungers 22 situated in a series of combustion chambers 23. The method of working is as follows: Gas passes from a chamber 24 to the pumps 13 by way of mechanically-operated valves 26; after compression, it passes through check valves 76 to combustion chambers 23, where it is further compressed by the plungers 22. The gas is then fired electrically, and the combustion products pass through openings in the plungers to ports 99, whence it is led to the nozzles of the turbines; any residual gas is afterwards exhausted through passages 102 and dissipated. The pumps and plungers are reciprocated constantly, but are periodically rendered inoperative by stopping the action of the valves 26 and simultaneously breaking the electric circuit. The valves 26 are reciprocated by link-work, comprising levers 33 and rods 35, which rods are actuated by pins 48, Fig. 6, reciprocated by a cam 45 secured to the shaft 5. The pins 48 are mounted in a frame 36 rotatably mounted within a casing 37. By the partial rotation of the inner frame 36, the ends of the pins 48 and the ends of the rods 35 are turned out of engagement, so that, although the cam continues to revolve, the rods 35, and consequently the valves 26, are not actuated. This periodical stoppage of the valve action is effected by a cam 60, Fig. 6, operated from the shaft 5 through gear-wheels 66, 67. The cam 60 oscillates a lever 54 secured to the frame 36. The end of the lever 54 is hinged to a reciprocating rod 64, Fig. 7, which actuates a yoke switch 57, so that,when the valves are rendered inoperative, the electric circuit is broken When the speed of the engine is excessive, the rod 64 is permanently depressed by a spring- segment 71 attached to an oscillating lever 74 actuated by a rod 75 controlled by a governor. The pump cylinders, combustion chambers, and fluid passages are water-jacketed, and an annular water-cooled screen 110 is placed in the common exhaust chamber situated between the two turbine elements 4. As each turbine element is successively cut out, it acts as a fan and draws in air through holes in the outer casing, whereby it is rapidly cooled.

Abstract: 10,556. May, T. H. D. May 4. Sampling granular materials. - Granular. powdered, and like substances are discharged from shaking hoppers by adjustable delivery screws to intercepting-devices, which collect a certain amount of material and then discharge it to a mixing-apparatus or elsewhere as desired. The hoppers are of compound type, consisting of a conical hopper A, within which is arranged a second hopper A<2> carrying a third A'. The hopper A<2> is carried on a rod a, which is shaken by means of a notched wheel. A baffle cone A<3> is arranged in the hopper A<2>. At the outlet of the hopper A is a cylindrical casing C in which rotates the delivery screw B. The screw B is constructed either by forming it round a cone or by forming it with a different pitch in different parts so that the amount delivered by it can be varied by moving the screw longitudinally on its shaft B'. This is effected by the arrangement shown in Fig. 3. The screw B is connected to the shaft B' by a groove and feather. The end of the shaft B<1> is screwthreaded and carries a nut c, made in two parts and engaging with the screw B by a groove and collar. The parts of the nut c are held together by a ring c<1>. The screw B delivers to an intercepter g formed as a hollow-sided polygon with disks at the ends and lips g<2> to prevent the material from falling offin the wrong direction. The intercepter g and the shaft B<1> are connected by gearing so that each side of the intercepter receives a definite amount of material. The shaft of the intercepter g is struck by a hammer actuated bv a tappet to prevent the material from sticking. The intercepter g delivers to a shoot d, in which is arranged a tilting plate i so that the material may be delivered to the shoot c and mixer f as shown, or to some other receptacle f<X>. The machine may be provided with small auxiliary screws arranged like the large ones for taking samples.
