Title: Improvements in Pumps.
Inventor: FRESHMAN AUBREY EDWARD
Filed: 1907-12-27
Granted: 1908-06-25
Abstract: 14,730. Freshman, A. E. Dec. 27. Oscillating - vane type. - The quadrantal working and delivery chambers of an oscillating- vane pump are formed by inserting hollow, open-ended, quadrant parts x, y within a cylinder a. A shaft T,carrying the diametral piston n, n<1>, is provided, outside the cylinder, with cranks which are rocked by connecting - rods h<1> the other ends of which are rotated by cranks i on a shaft g. The shaft g is driven from a shaft f supported on the same standard. The cylinder end-covers contain flanged suction ports p, p<1> and delivery ports r, r' arranged so as not to interfere with the motion of the connecting-rod. The ports leading from the working chambers to the delivery chambers within the inserted parts x, y are fitted with valves q, which are easily accessible when the end - covers are removed. When the cylinder is submerged in the water to be pumped, the suction ports p, p<1> may take the form of radial slots. Leakage is prevented by forming baffle grooves on the piston, and segmental liners o are fitted on the shaft t. In finishing the quadrant parts x, y, the flat radial faces are planed, and four parts are secured together. The peripheries are then machined, and a central hole is bored to take the shaft at one operation.

Granted: 1908-10-22
Abstract: 7482. Bland, J. P. April 4. Lifting-dogs.-Reels of paper and like heavy bodies are raised and lowered by an apparatus comprising a beam furnished at each end with depending pivotallymounted jaws; which by means of levers and links are connected to a cranked shaft, the rotation of which causes the jaws to pass beneath the load. An horizontal beam 1 is provided at each end with a segmental frame 3, to which are pivoted a pair of jaws 5 with flanges 7. The jaws carry levers 11 connected by links 12 to crank-disks 13, which are rotated by a hand pitch chain. The pin on which the crankdisks are mounted carries feather keys 19, Fig. 5, which are adapted to fit recesses in the lifting- hook 17 when the latter is drawn upwards by the pull of the hoisting-cable, so as to lock the crankdisks in position. Instead of providing the pin with feather keys, it may be formed square or of other non-cylindrical section. For the purpose of removing empty reel spindles from printing- machines, the jaws 5 are furnished with hooks 8 mounted on pivot pins 9 and normally retained out of the working position by catches 10.

Abstract: 27,001. Bennett, G. A., and Burman, A. Dec. 12. Amusements for fairs &c.-A lift for amusement at fairs and the like comprises one or more cages, each within a shaft, in combination with a resilient device which, when the cage descends under the influence of gravity, prevents undue concussion at the end of its descent and causes it to rebound several times before coming to rest. The lifting apparatus may be of any suitable kind provided with means, under the charge of an attendant, for controlling the height of the ascent. The shaft 1 may be formed of four standards which also act as guides and are braced together and stayed in the usual manner. The resilient device in this example consists of a pair of air cushions 8, 9 on the underside of the car and a pair of mats 10, 11 of rubber and spring steel stretched across the well 12 at the bottom of the shaft 1, so that concussion is normally taken up by cushion 8 and mat 10, the others being in reserve in case of. injury to either of these. The bottom of the well contains soft sand. The cage is provided with air-cushioned seats 15 and a gate 16, preferably of lazy-tongs type.

Title: Improvements in Warp Stop Motions.

Granted: 1910-03-03
Abstract: 5482. Carver, T. A. B., and Textile Appliances, Ltd. March 6. Yarns, warping; lease-rods. - In mechanism for detecting the breakage of warps in a loom &c., and if necessary, for automatically stopping the machine, drop detectors are guided by rods, which are supported solely from the lease-rods. The detector guides b, b<1>, B, B<1> are carried by brackets e, E, adjustably secured by means of bolts f, F to extensions of the legs c<1>, C<1> of clamps c, c<1>, C, C<1>, which grip the lease-rods but do not touch the metal facings h, H. If a detector drops, it connects electrically the metal strip h or H and the guides b, b<1> or B, B<1> and thus closes an electric circuit which controls an indicator or a knock-off motion such as that described in Specification 15,226/02. The leaserods may be tied with string to the back rail of the loom to preserve their distance apart and to prevent their advance with the warp, or they may be held apart by clamps k, k<1>, K, K<1> mounted on a screw l and may be held back by a bent rod n, which is secured to the loom framework and engages a recess o in one of the clamps. The electric current is led to the metal strips h, H and to the guides b, b<1>, B, B<1> by flexible connexions to allow a free vertical movement of lease-rods.

Title: Apparatus for Separating Particles of Liquid Gases and Vapours.
Inventor: STEGER MORITZ
IPC: B01D45/14
Filed: 1909-06-21
Granted: 1910-01-27
Abstract: 14,544. Steger, M. June 21. Separators.-Relates to apparatus for separating particles of liquid, such as tar or oil, from gases or vapours, of the kind in which the gases flow through a chamber containing rotary perforated baffle-plates alternating with stationary perforated plates, and consists essentially in forming the perforations in the rotary plates by bending lips out of them so as to produce impact vanes which may be adapted to assist rotation. A casing having a gas inlet band outlet c contains superposed conical perforated plates d, the assemblage of which is facilitated by building-up the casing of separate rings a', a<2>, a<3>, &c. Alternating with the plates dare rotary plates e fixed to a vertical axle having bearings provided with hydraulic seals g. The apex angle of the plates is approximately 120 degrees, which permits the separated liquid to flow freely down the surfaces of the plates into the annular troughs formed by the plates d and casing walls. The troughs communicate with a vessel l through pipes i and liquid-sealed partitions. Rectangular apertures measuring some 8 mm. by 2 mm. are formed in the plates by cutting three sides of the apertures and bending the partly-severed material so as to form inclined vanes n. The pressure of the gas on the vanes is normally sufficient to cause the plates e to act as turbine rotors, to which the plates d act as guides. To enable an auxiliary blower with a nozzle x to assist in imparting rotation, the undermost plate c is provided with vanes on a cylindrical flange y. The vanes are staggered so that vertical adjustment of the axle, which is necessary for the adjustment of the distance between the plates, does not interfere with the drive of the blower. The axle is supported on ball bearings at the top, and held against vertical movement, due to the pressure of the gas, by a yoke t<1>. The vertical adjustment of the axle is effected by means of a screwed sleeve working in a hand-wheel nut u. To enable the apparatus to be used as an ammonia-washer in addition to acting as a tarseparator, liquid under pressure is supplied through pipes o to the chambers between the plates. If the tar is rich in naphthalene, the pipes may be used for blowing through the apparatus and removing the deposit.
