Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Utilising Heads of Water.
Inventor: BLAUEL CARL OTTO
IPC: F03B13/00
Filed: 1909-02-16
Granted: 1910-02-16
Abstract: 3844. Blauel, C. O. Feb. 16. [Addition to 14,533/08.] Tidal energy, utilizing. - The apparatus described in the parent Specification, is provided with means for controlling and reversing the doors of the receptacles and the shutting-off devices arranged in the pipes leading from the receptacles to the turbines. Fig. 1 shows a sectional view of the apparatus, in which four chambers 1, 2, 3, 4 are arranged side by side. Pipes c, which open into a chamber from which branch two pipes f, g leading to the turbines, and in which a valve d is fitted as shown in Fig. 4, are placed on the tops of the receptacles. Two turbines arranged on one shaft are provided, and each two adjacently-arranged receptacles, that is 1 and 2, and 3 and 4, work in conjunction on one turbine, so that since water is flowing into one chamber as it flows from the other, the pressure and suctional action are exercised on the turbines simultaneously. The operation of the doors a, b, is effected by means of compressed air and is controlled electrically by the float s. The float, in falling, makes contact between the parts 13 and 18, so that the electro-magnets 10, shown in Fig. 7, operate the slide 9, and so cause the movement of the piston 8 the rod of which is connected to chains gearing with sprockets on the spindles of the valves a, b. As the float rises, it causes the contacts 14 to meet the contacts 20 ... 23, which closes the circuit to reverse all the controlling-devices from the open to the closed position, or vice versa, for the purpose of reversing all the valves and doors. The regulation of the multiple-stage turbine is effected by furnishing the pipe supplying compressed air to the turbine with two outlet pipes 30, 31, of which the former is for the higher and the latter for the lower stage of pressure, as shown in Fig. 6. In each branch, a valve is fitted which is controlled by the movement of the piston 28 and the governor 38. The piston 28 works in a movably - suspended cylinder 39 which is connected to the main suction pipe by a pipe 40, and to the main pressure pipe by a pipe 41. When the pressure is high the movement of the piston causes the raising of the arm 35 and the closing of the low-pressure valve, and vice versa.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Gun Control.
Filed: 1910-04-27
Granted: 1911-04-27
Abstract: 10,356. Evershed & Vignoles, and Kilroy, W. D. April 27. Mountings.-Relates to the control of guns when the firing of one gun would endanger another gun or other object, and consists in the provision of automatic means operating in conjunction with a model or models of the kind described in Specification 15,487/09, for preventing dangerous firing by (1) removing either the endangering or the endangered gun from the danger position, or (2), preventing the endangering gun from taking up a danger position, or (3), breaking the firing-circuit when danger conditions exist. An arrangement acting according to (1) and (2) is shown in Fig. 2, in which u represents the elevation control lever of a gun A (not shown), which in certain positions of elevation and training endangers by its fire a second gun or object B. The guns A, B are represented in the elevating and training models e, t by pivoted arms a, b which carry contactstrips a<2>, b<2> and a<1>, b<1> at their extremities. The lever it can normally be moved between the limit stops w, x and carries with it, through a clutch, a gear-wheel 1 on which is a stop 20. When the elevation and training of the guns A, B is such that the gun A is in the endangering position, an electric circuit is completed through the contacts a<1>, b<1>, a<2>, b<2> and an electric motor 2. The motor then rotates the gear-wheel relatively to the lever u until the stop 20 reaches the lever and moves it on until the gun A has been elevated into a safe position. The stop 20 may be arranged so as to prevent the gun A entering the endangering or endangered position, or it may remove either or both the guns from such position. An arrangement according to (3) above, for breaking the firing-circuit is shown in Fig. 1. The firing-circuit y, z of the gun A passes through the firing-key k, and is divided into two branches, one of which includes the leads 40 and switch arms h, i, which arms represent respectively the positions of the guns A, B in elevating models f, g. The other branch l includes a switch m, the lever n of which is actuated by an electro-magnet p in a circuit which includes the contacts a<1>, b<1> of the training model t. If the gun A endangers the gun B in elevation and not in training, the firing circuit through the leads 40 is broken, but the lever n of the switch m under the action of a spring r completes the firing circuit l. If the danger is in regard to training only, the firing- circuit is completed through the leads 40, and the circuit l is broken; but if there is danger both as to elevation and training, neither circuit can be made. The signal devices described in Specifications 20,540/04 and 5970/07 may be combined with the present invention.
