Patent GB-190515965-A (GB)
Title: Improved Automatic Unloading Device for Fluid Compressors.
Inventor: BROOM HARRY SKEET
Filed: 1905-08-04
Granted: 1905-12-14
Abstract: 15,965. Broom, H. S., and Wade, J. T. Aug. 4. Compressing.-In that class of automatic unloading-mechanism for fluid-compressors in which, when the compression exceeds a predetermined amount, a piston slide valve operated by reservoir pressure closes or chokes the suction passage of the compressor, a spring-and-lever controlling-mechanism is provided for the dual purpose of preventing the unloader from "hunting," and adjusting the actuating reservoir pressure within fine limits. In the form shown, the suction passage D to a compressor is closed by a spring-controlled piston C when compressed air from the reservoir is admitted, by way of an auxiliary cylinder G fitted with a plunger G<1>, behind a second piston C<1> on the common pistonrod C<2>. The spring-controlled lever M, which is pivoted at M<1> to a quadrant plate K, carries an arm N which presses upon and maintains the plunger G' in a normal position, whereby the piston C' is in communication with the atmosphere by way of the duct F and a grooved port F<1> in the plunger. A predetermined reservoir pressure, however, raises the plunger, within a limit defined by a stop 0, and admits compressed air to actuate the piston C<1>. The spring J offers a decreasing resistance as the plunger rises, its effective leverage being arranged to decrease in a greater ratio than its increase in tension, consequently the plunger is not depressed again until the reservoir pressure has fallen considerably, the unloader thus being prevented from "hunting." To adjust the actuating reservoir pressure within fine limits, the controlling-spring J is made movable at the lower end between positions L, L<1>, in addition to being provided with a main adjusting-nut J<1>.

Title: Improvements in Variable Speed and Reversing Gearing.
Inventor: BROWN JOHN WILLIAM
Filed: 1905-08-10
Granted: 1906-08-10
Abstract: 16,260. Brown, J. W. Aug. 10. Cranes.-Relates to friction gearing for cranes &c., characterized by the use of a stepped friction cone to vary the velocity ratio. This stepped cone c is mounted on the driving-shaft b, and is adapted to be engaged by an internally gearing drum d secured to a shaft h, which has a squared portion i<2> sliding inside a shaft i, universally jointed to the driven shaft a. Axial motion is given to the drum d through a bearing j, which is hinged at r to a rod q, actuated by a link p, bevel-gearing, and a rotatable handle n. The rod q slides inside a tube k pivoted at o<1>, and is rigid with a hollow lever l. In changing speed, transverse motion is given to the drum d by turning the lever l and tube k about the pivot o<1>. The gearing surface of the drum d is an elastic layer backed by a pneumatic tube f. Frictional engagement is maintained by a spring v acting through a quadrant m. An auxiliary wheel y may be rotated in the position shown in dotted lines at y', to produce the reverse. A modification is described, in which the shaft a is not in line with the shaft b, and the shaft h is mounted in a frame so that it rotates around the shaft a, keeping parallel to it. This frame slides longitudinally on the shaft a, and the drum d is geared to the shaft a. In the Provisional Specification, means are described for producing the reverse, comprising toothed gearing, a countershaft, and an idler pinion put into mesh by sliding axially or by turning on an eccentric bearing.

Abstract: 22,673. Knight, A. E. Nov. 16, 1904, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Secondary batteries.-The buckling and warping of positive plates is prevented, and the expansion caused to take a substantially straight path, by means of guides applied loosely and transversely to the lower free end of the plates. Various forms of grooved, slotted, and parallel-strip guides o are described and illustrated, as in Figs. 1 and 2, 5 and 6, and 10, 12, and 31, the guides being retained by two or more pins 40 passing through the plate or plate-fingers n, Figs. 1 and 5, or through both guide and plate, or by means of bent-over tangs 68 on the end of the plate. As shown in Fig. 21, the plate is forked, the loose guide a resting upon pins 40 across the fork, while in Fig. 29 two guide strips are placed in grooves 67. The end of the plate may be adapted for loosely folding round one or more guides o, as shown in Figs. 23, 25, 27, and 33. In all cases, the plates may be slotted, as at k, Figs. 1 and 5, if desired, for further taking up local expansion, which may be guided laterally by means of intermediate projections 37, Fig. 1, these loosely engaging slots in the glass plates c employed for supporting the electrode-lugs f. The positives extend below the negatives, in order to afford a clearance for the guides. A lead-lined wooden cell, and the usual glass-rod separators, may be employed.

When the subscribers hang up their receivers, the clearing-out relays f, g are de-energized as usual, and release their armatures, two of which complete the circuit of the clearing- out lamps k, l in the cord circuit, while the other two armatures close the contacts n, m in a circuit from the battery e, through contacts n, m, wire o, tip of plug, spring p, (all-lamp r, and back to the battery. The lamp r thus gives the clearing-out signal to the distributing operator.

Granted: 1907-11-28
Abstract: 27,615. Rees, E. S. G. Dec. 4. Centrifugal Sprengel pumps.- The centrifugal apparatus described in Specifications Nos. 4810 and 14,253, A.D. 1906, and modified as described in Specifications Nos. 22,490 and 26,609, A.D. 1906, [Abridgment Class Pumps &c.], is applied to the exhaustion and compression of gases and to the extraction of energy from gases. For exhausting and compressing purposes, the narrowest parts of the restricted peripheral outlets of the rotor, which are constructed similarly to those described in the abovementioned Specifications, are connected by ducts to the gas suction pipe. Owing to the reduced pressure at the restriction caused by the passage of water outwards from the rotor, suction is produced. Fig. XI shows the application to a compressor, Water is circulated by the pump Z and entrains air drawn in at c. The mixed stream is discharged into the reservoir p, and the water is separated by baffles q. Fig. IX shows a modification in which an impeller a delivers water into a chamber provided with ribs o' to give the fluid a rotary motion. Air is drawn in at c and entrapped by the water. The mixed stream passes to a second impeller a<1>, at the eye of which more air is entrapped. Only one impeller may be used. Turbines.-When the apparatus is applied to the extraction of energy from newly exploded gases and the like, the gas is led into the constriction through a rearwardly-directed divergent nozzle as at E', Figs. 5<a> and 6. A part of the energy is given up to the water and the energy is imparted to the wheel by the reactive effect of the mixed water and gas leaving the nozzle. In the modification should in Fig. 6, the water nozzles F and gas nozzles E<1> are circular in section and may be drilled out, and the outer nozzles F are contained in two ring sections G<2> bolted together. The gas and liquid streams may be brought together outside the impeller, in which case the energy is extracted in a second rotor.

Fig. 1 shows a fitting like that described in Specification No. 9259, A.D. 1906, with the addition of a blower D which moves on the outer face of the canopy A'. The guide-bars D<1>, attached to a cross-bar at the lower end of the blower D, slide in guides on the canopy, and are attached by chains D<3> to the damper C, which, when the blower is upraised and the canopy drawn out, is raised by the inclines B<2>. Fig. 4 shows a modification wherein the blower D is inside the canopy A. The damper C is hung on bent bars E pivoted to the canopy. The inner ends of the bars E ride up the inclines B<2> as the canopy is drawn out, thus lifting the damper C. As the blower D is drawn down, the rib E depresses the outer end of the damper C, and thus opens the chimney throat.
