Abstract: 503,072. Elastic - fluid turbines ; steam engines. SULZER FRERES SOC. ANON. Nov. 7, 1938, No. 32265. Convention date, Feb. 11. [Classes 110 (iii) and 122 (iii)] A plant comprising a steam generator 1, supplying high and low pressure stages of a turbine 4, with an intermediate superheater 6 between the stages, is provided with a byepass 11, which connects tube systems 1, 6 during the heating up of the generator. , Steam exhausted from the turbine passes to a condenser 8 leading to a tank or accumulator 10, and a feed pump 2 supplies' water to the generator. A valve 12 is actuated by a servomotor 13 which is influenced by the steam pressure in the main 3 through a pipe 14. A valve 16 in a byepass 15 from the pipe 7 to the tank 10 is controlled by a servomotor 25 influenced through a pipe 17 by the pressure in the pipe 7. Thermostats 21, 24 keep valves 18, 22 closed during the heating up of the generator, acting through servomotors 19, 23. The feed pump then causes high pressure to be set up in the tubes, and the valves 12, 16 are opened by the servomotors 13, 25 to allow circulation through the tubes and back to the tank 10. At the required temperature the valves 18, 22 are opened through the influence of the thermostats 21, 24. The consequent reduction in pressure causes servomotors 13, 25 to close valves 12, 16. The settings of the thermostats and servomotors may be varied. The pipe 15 may lead to the condenser, instead of to the tank. Salt eliminators may be used in the tube system.

Abstract: 1,016,843. Filter beds. R. P. MOORE. Aug. 28, 1962 [Aug. 29, 1961], No. 32940/62. Heading B1D. Water to be filtered enters through a channel 10, and passes through aperture 12, controlled by lift-valve 14, and horizontal slot 16, the lower wall of which forms a weir, on to the surface of the filter bed 18, thence to drainage system 20 and into conduit 22, terminating at a low level in container 24. Some of the filtered water passes through outlet 26 and valve 28, which is controlled by pilot float 44, and a small portion flows into compartment 24 so that the level of water therein slowly rises, air displaced by the rising level escaping through the non-return bleed valve 38. To backwash the filter, valve 28 is closed and valve 34 opened to admit air under pressure to the drainage system 20 and hence through the filter bed, loosening the particles thereby. Valve 34 is then closed and valve 36 opened, air under pressure entering compartment 24 and forcing water through conduit 22 into 20 or upwards through the filter-bed carrying the sludge with it. Lift-valve 14 closes and the sludge-carrying water overflows weir 46 and is carried away by channel 48. In a modification (not shown), the filter is annular, surrounding a sedimentation tank, and an annular wash water container may be located below the filter.

[Also in Division G1] Selected cigarettes travelling in a row in a direction transversely to their axes are removed from a row for testing and after testing are returned to the row. In Fig. 1 a device similar to that described in Specificaton 1,024,785 is shown consisting of a suction member 1 comprising a bearing sleeve 2 rotatable on a shaft 3 mounted in arms 4 pivoted to the machine frame 6 by bearings 7. A plate 8 screwed to the frame 6 supports a driving motor 9 and a control magnet 10. A belt pulley 12 and a disc 13 having a projecting pin 16 are mounted on the shaft 11 of the motor 9. An armature 14 of the magnet 10 is adapted to reciprocate in the axial direction of the shaft 11 and an operating disc 15 is; fastened to the armature 14. A spring 22 biases the armature away from the pins 16. The member 1 has a suction element for each cigarette to be picked up. In the suction element 31 there is a supporting surface 32 for the cigarette to be tested and a rotatable shaft 35 having serrated discs 40, 41 for rotating a cigarette. A test lamp 48 is provided which co-operates with a photo-electric device 50 to test the imprint 48 on the cigarette. Cigarettes are moved in a row in the feed direction of the belt 5 and lifted from the belt by suction to the member 1, the cigarette to be tested being introduced into the element 31. The discs 40 and 41 rotate the cigarette. The photoelectric device 50 is connected in a bridge circuit which becomes unbalanced when the imprint 49 is detected and magnet 10 is then energized to displace armature 14 and force pin 16 towards the motor 9. The pin 16 is thus moved out of the region of a spring 24 which controls the switch 30 in the circuit of an indicating device. If no imprint 49 is detected the magnet remains unenergized, the pin 16 is not displaced and hence operates spring 24 and switch 30 to give an indication of a defective cigarette. The pin of 16 is returned to its normal position on further rotation of disc 13 by a cam 21 connected to the disc 15 by a member 20. In a second embodiment a cigarette Z1 (Fig. 8) to be tested is picked up by a suction cigarette holder on a drum 203, rotation of which may be initiated automatically or manually. The cigarette is deposited between rollers 232 and 236 which rotate whilst a light source 249 and photo-electric device 248 scan the imprint (Fig. 9). During testing a previously tested cigarette Z2 is released by a catch 243 to fill the gap made in the row of cigarettes by the removal of cigarette Z1. The photoelectric device 248 is connected in a circuit so as to give an indication of whether or not the cigarette bears an imprint.
