Title: Improvement in Nut Locks.
Inventor: KENNEY WILLIAM FRANCIS
IPC: F16B39/16
Filed: 1909-06-05
Granted: 1909-12-09
Abstract: 13,232. Kenney, W. F. June 5. Locking nuts.-A nut C is locked to a bolt A by a locking-nut F inserted in a polygonal recess g in the nut C. A screw H, threaded reversely to the threads on the bolt, has two distinct threads i, j engaging a bore in the bolt and the locking-nut F. The space k between the threads is slightly wider than the thickness of the nut F. The threads j on the screw H displace the thread h on the nut F to carry the nut against the shoulder l if the threads e, h are not naturally continuous when the nut F is pushed home. In a moditication, the threads which engage the nut F are formed on the enlarged portion of the screw H.

Abstract: 16,034. Renshaw, C., Fairhurst, L., and Cranshaw, G. H. Jan. 7, 1910. Spindle apparatus. - In spindle apparatus in which the ring and traveller are carried upon an independentlydriven tube or cylinder, the ring 4 is carried by a cylinder 5 mounted upon a wharl 7, which rotates upon a sleeve 11 fixed on the lifter rail 6, and the base of which rests in the oil cup 12. A curved washer 9 prevents the oil from flying up the spindle 1, which is driven by the wharl 3 at a different speed from that of the cylinder 5. The cylinder 5 is checked, to facilitate threading the yarn through the traveller 8, by a pivoted catch acting on the serrated flange of the wharl 7.

Granted: 1910-05-26
Abstract: 17,660. Zilliox, J. July 29. Fixed-abutment type; packing vanes; valves, distributing and cut-off.-A fluid-pressure motor actuating a hammer M for removing scale in boiler tubes has a piston H oscillating transversely within the tube and operating a slide valve P. An outer cylindrical shell A is fitted with a plug B, to which is screwed the supply pipe b. The piston chamber is constituted by two bars C, Fig. 14, having curved outer faces which fit the interior of the shell, and flat parallel inner faces secured to head-pieces D, F. The edges h of the piston H slide against the parallel faces of the bars C, and the piston has a pivoting knuckle i seated in the head F. The shank L of the hammer M is screwed into the piston and passes through a slot l in the head D. The reciprocating slide valve P for directing the fluid to the top and bottom compartments of the piston chamber through ports o, o<1> in the head F is actuated by an extension Q of the piston. A washer R, Fig. 4, between the slide valve and the plug B confines the valve to its seat. The fluid is exhausted through a cavity p<2> in the slide valve communicating with a passage s extending through the extension Q, piston H, and shank L. The slot l in the head D may be made of such a length that its ends form auxiliary exhaust ports which are alternately uncovered by the front end of the piston. To prevent leakage between the upper and lower compartments of the piston chamber, the piston H is provided with grooves u, u<1>, Fig. 14, allowing leakage fluid to escape through the slot l. The washer R is held from turning by ribs r thereon bearing against the flat faces of the bars C and, in addition to the central aperture r<1>, there are provided a number of holes r<2>, into which enters a lock-screw or bolt r<3> in the plug B, so that the plug can be turned to take up any slackness due to expansion of the casing. The lock-screw is itself secured by forming its head r<4> with a notch to receive the pipe b.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Means for Preventing the Racing of Marine Engines.
Inventor: DAVIES PETER
Filed: 1910-08-04
Granted: 1911-08-03
Abstract: 18,408. Davies, P. Aug. 5. F l u i d governors ; transmitting-mechanism. -The supply of steam to a marine engine is controlled by a governor dependent on the immersion of the rudder. A throttle valve Z<1>, Fig. 3, is connected to a frame Y, which carries an eccentric-wheel y<2>, adapted to be moved into the path of two continuously reciprocated screws I. An eccentric Q, driven from the engine &c., oscillates two saddle members O carrying the screws I. The eccentric - wheel is moved into the path of one of these screws by gearing from a wheel w<2>, which is operated either by bellows r<2> or by two electric motors e<2>, f<2>. The bellows are open and attached to an air chamber o<2>, connected by a pipe n<6> and swivel pipe n<7> with a drain-chamber l<2>; a pipe A, Fig. 1, leading to the stern of the ship and open at its end B to the sea, is connected to this drain-chamber. The variation in the depth of immersion of the pipe A determines the opening and closing of the bellows, and the consequent position of the eccentric-wheel y<2>. Two spring-pressed valves p<6>, q<6> on the airchamber o<2> determine the maximum and minimum pressure in the pipe system, one valve opening outwards to atmosphere the other inwards. In a modification, two #-tubes containing mercury are connected to the drainchamber, the variation in pressure in the pipe A connecting one or other electric motor to a generator through the switches a<2>, d2 and the mercury in the #-tubes. A rod x<2> attached to the pipe h<6>, throws over the switch d<2> on a movement of the frame Y so as to put in circuit one motor, say, f<2> to operate the eccentric-wheel and turn on steam, after the other motor has moved the valve owing to a variation in the immersion of the pipe A. In a further modification, the pipe A and two #-tubes are replaced by two pivoted floats mounted one above the other on the rudder; the upper float, in the form of a mercury switch, operates with the switches a<2>, d<2> to put in circuit the motors e<2>, f<2>, while the lower float B<1>, Fig. 8, puts in circuit the motor f<2> for turning on steam earlier than the upper float would. The float B<1> comprises a hollow pivoted casing d<5> containing the mercury switch d<4>, the casing having a hole d<6>; normally the casing is full of water, but when the sea falls, it empties and becomes buoyant. The leads to the bulbs pass through the hollow pivot f<3>.
