Abstract: 10,609. Lake, H. W., [Empire Duplex Gin Co.]. May 4. Gins ; openers.-Cotton in its raw state is opened and screened to prepare it for the ginning operation. The cotton is fed into the hopper 11 and delivered by feeding-rolls 13 to the upper end of an inclined screen, which is reciprocated longitudinally by an eccentric on the shaft 27. As it passes down the screen it is thrown back by rollers 46, 45 and is eventually carried to the bladed roller 50, which in conjunction with the sieve 51 extracts any dirt, sand, &c. remaining in the cotton which passes down the hopper 12 to the gin or to a collector and distributer. The screen is preferably divided into sections having the transverse bars progressively wider apart, so that the refuse passing through it is separated into grades and is removed by screw conveyers 47, 48, 49. The screen may also be made up of two sets of bars which can be adjusted relatively to each other to increase or decrease the effective distance between them.

Abstract: 764. Robinson, W. Jan. 11. Axial-flow type; balancing moving parts; blades, vanes, nozzles, etc.; condensation water, collecting etc.; regulating; reversing.-An axialflow turbine comprises a rotor with internal and external blades co - operating with a central and an outer stator. A rotor comprising a shell 14, Fig. 1, co-operates with a central stator 1 and an outer stator 8, to form two concentric working chambers A, B. Steam is admitted through a valve 28 to both sections simultaneously, but valves 61, 62 are provided so that either section may be wholly or partly cut out. To increase the area of the exhaust from the section B, additional longitudinal passages may be cut in the sleeve surrounding the fixed shaft containing the main exhaust passage 36. The radial surfaces of the rotor are such that all end pressures are balanced. In a modification the sections A and B work in series, the steam first passing along B and through an opening in the rotor to the section A. Instead of the sections A and B being used simultaneously, they may be used alternatively, the blades being arranged so that the two sections cause the rotor to be driven in opposite directions. Section A, Fig. 8, is for forward driving, while section B is for reversing. A central multi-ported valve 42 and a valve 55 are operated simultaneously by a lever 57. The valve 42 is so ported that in successive positions steam is admitted to the three elements of section B either in series or in parallel. Water of condensation is drained off through a pipe 65 when the valve is in a neutral position. The blades are fitted with interlocking tips, forming a continuous shroud. They are mounted upon plates which are afterwards secured in dovetailed grooves. The stator stages may be arranged for partial admission. A modification is described in which the turbine is normally forward-running but is fitted with a reversing section which may be used either as a brake or for reversing.

Abstract: 14,135. Marks, E. C. R., [Universal Speed Control Co.]. June 10. Revolving-cylinder pumps; stroke, varying. - In revolving - cylinder pumps having means for preserving synchronism between the two re- - volving parts, whatever be the inclination of the axes of the parts, the two parts are independently mounted, and are driven through epicyclic gear, distinct supplementary gear being employed for preserving synchronism. Fig. 2 is an horizontal section. A driving- shaft 5 projects into a spherical casing 7, and carries a head 23, on which is mounted piston - rods 22. On either side of the casing are bearings for hollow trunnions 9, 10, on which swings a member 8 carrying a stud 15, on which is rotatably mounted a barrel 16, in which is a series of axial cylinders 17, registering successively with suction and delivery ports 18, 19, connected through the hollow trunnions with inlet and outlet pipes 3, 4. Outside the casing, and attached to the member 8, is a lever for swinging the member about the trunnions and varying the stroke. For driving the cylinder member 16, a bevelwheel 26 on the head 23 meshes with a gear 27 on a sleeve 28 mounted on a stud 29 projecting from the trunnion 10. The sleeve 28 carries a gear 30 in mesh with planet-wheels 31 mounted on a gear 33 loose on the sleeve 28. The planet-wheels 31 also engage a normally stationary internal gear 32. The large gear 33 engages a gear 34, to which is made fast a bevel-wheel 36 meshing with a bevel-wheel 37 on the cylinder member. To preserve synchronism when the inclination of the cylinders is varied, a toothed segment 38 is mounted fast on the trunnion 10 and engages a segment 39 on a stud 40, projecting from the casing 7. To the segment 39 is made fast another segment 41 on the stud 40, which engages a segment 42 fast on the normally stationary internal gear 32. On swinging the member 8, the segments 38, 39, 41, 42 are rotated, the internal gear 32 is carried round, and with it the planet-wheels 31 and gear 33, to counteract the displacement which would otherwise occur on an alteration of inclination.

Abstract: 22,708. Case, F. E. Sept. 30, 1909, [Convention date]. Systems for continuous-current motors only; controllers with emergency reversers.-In a motor-control system wherein the reversing- switch may be operated electrically or pneumatically, the valve mechanism is operated by the reversing-handle of the controller. A depressible stem controls a valve, which admits the pressure to the reversing-valve. The electrically-operated switch 4 is controlled by the handle 3, and is provided with two pistons and cylinders for pneumatic actuation, as described in Specification 15,223/06. The cylinders are connected to valve casings 7 by pipes 5, 6, and the valve casings are connected to a source of pressure, preferably an auxiliary reservoir 8<1>, by a pipe 8. The upper part 11, Fig. 2, of the valve casing is secured to a bracket 9 on the top plate of the controller. The bottom part 12 is bolted to the part 11, and has a flat circular seat for the rotary valve 17 supported on a pin 18. The valve 17 is rotated by means of a stem 20, which is provided with lugs to engage a notch in the valve, and a spring 19 keeps the valve on its seat. Each of two chambers 22 in the valve has two ports 23 co-operating with four ports in the valve seat; one of the latter four leads to the atmosphere, two others to the pipes 5, 6, and the fourth to the supply-pipe 8 by passages 28, 29, which are controlled by a valve 30 held on to its seat by a spring 31. The stem 33 of the valve 30 extends to a transverse passage 34 opening into the atmosphere, and the valve is opened by the depression of the knob 36 to admit air to the rotary valve. A link 40 connects cranks 38, 39 on the reversing- spindle and the rotary valve spindle respectively. As long as current is available, the reverser is operated in the ordinary way to connect the motors as braking - generators. When the reversing-handle is moved, the rotary valve follows it, so that, if the current fails, the reversing-switch is operated pneumatically when the knob 36 is depressed. If the knob 36 is depressed before the reversing-handle 3 is thrown, the bevelled lip 41 on the crank 39 passes under the collar 42 and raises the knob. In the " off " position, the lip remains under the collar 42, so that the valve 30 cannot be opened.
