Abstract: 26,548. Pettigrew, J. Nov. 16. Fluid - friction vibration-dampers. - Consists in braking railwayvehicle axles &c. by connecting them to a fluid - friction device from which the fluid can be exhausted to vary the retardation. The fluid may be elastic, such as air, or may be water, oil, or other liquid. The friction device may comprise a valved plate reciprocated in a chamber. Tn the example shown, the axle f is surrounded by a sleeve b, which carries blades a and is rotated in a fixed casing i by means of lugs c, d. The casing is provided with blades h and stuffing-boxes j, and may contain liquid, as shown in Fig. 3. A reservoir m surrounds the casing and communicates therewith by pipes o, p and an orifice r, and with an exhausting-pump at n. The casing is further provided with a vent v communicating with a double check valve t, which governs an atmospheric port u and is controlled by a spring w. When the braking is to be removed or reduced, the exhausting-pump is operated so as to withdraw more or less of the liquid into the reservoir m, whereupon the valve t moves down to shut off the air-port u. The blades a, may be arranged after the manner of a turbine, and in some cases may rotate in opposite directions. Instead of mounting the blades on a rotating member, they may be arranged on an endless carrier. The blades may be arranged like screwpropeller blades, and oppositely-acting sets of such blades may be arranged so as to compress air at the ends or centre of the chamber.

Patent GB-191212610-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Devices for Regulating or Controlling Fluid Compressors.
Inventor: NEWTON PHILIP ARTHUR
IPC: F04B49/02
Filed: 1912-05-28
Granted: 1913-05-28
Abstract: 12,610. Newton, P. A., [Ingersoll-Rand Co.]. May 28. Regulating compression. - Relates to unloading-mechanism for compressors of the kind in which the clearance spaces of the cylinders are put into communication with auxiliary receivers when predetermined pressures are attained in a main receiver. In such mechanism, the compressed fluid operates controlling-devices which release the main receiver pressure from the backs of valves between the cylinders and auxiliary receivers, and thus permit the valves to open. According to the invention, a single controlling- device is adapted to do the work of a number of controlling-devices as employed hitherto, and thereby unload the compressor step by step. The invention is described in connexion with a compressor having two double-acting cylinders each provided with four auxiliary receivers and adapted to be unloaded in four steps by the successive opening of the valves of the following pairs of auxiliary receivers 9-14, 11-12, 8-15, and 10-13 respectively. The controlling-device comprises four slide valves 37 ... 40, Fig. 5, which are adapted to put ports 58 leading to the backs of the respective auxiliary receivers in communication with the atmosphere by way of ports 52, or with the main receiver, according to the direction of motion of the valves. Compressed fluid from the main receiver is distributed to the valve-actuating pistons 44 by a single auxiliary slide valve 83, Fig. 4, attached to a weighted arm 69 subjected to main receiver pressure through the medium of a flexible diaphragm 68. To cause the valve 83 to be operated after definite increments of the main receiver pressure, and thereby effect the step-by-step unloading, the arm 69 is provided with a graduated resistance which may consist, as shown, of weights 78 adapted to be applied successively, or may consist of a dash-pot or spring.
