To ttl/Z wil/0711, t may concern:
Be it known that I, MATTHEW HENRY PHIN- nAs RIALL SANKEY, late captain Royal Engineers, a subject of the King of Great Britain, residing at Bawnmore, Bilton, near Rugby, England, have invented certain new and useful improvements in Turbines, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates especially to steamturbines of the class in which radial blades are held in rings or segments (hereinafter called rings) arranged in annular grooves in the casing or drum of the turbine.
The object of my invention is to provide a way by which the blades may be very quickly assembled and securely held in place.
According' to my invention the roots or those ends of the blades of each series which are connected with the casing or vdrum are constructed, as by being' tapered, to coact with properly-formed slots in a ring fitting a groove in the easing or drum, means, such as a calking-strip, being' provided for locking the roots of the blades in the ring.
In the preferred form of my invention the roots of the blades of each series are held between one wall of the groove and one side of the ring by the pressure caused by a eallingstrip or locking device. Preferably the root end of each blade is stamped or otherwise formed to a right-angled or approximately right-angled section or tang, one side of Which enters a slot in the ring, while the other lies flat against the side of the ring and between it and the adjacent side or wall of the g'roove. ln thisway not only can the blades and rings be quickly assembled; but the blades will be rigidly held in place against any movement by centrifugal or other force.
AIn the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 shows a part longitudinal section on the line 1 1 of Figs. 2 and 3 of a turbine constructed according to this invention, the bodies of the blades being shown in elevation. Figs. 2 and 3 are local sections on the lines 2 2 and 3 3 of Eig. 1, the views being developed from cylindrical cuts. Figs. 1l and 5 are elevations of parts of the slotted rings.
l have shown in the drawings the preferred specific way of carrying out my invention; but my invention comprehends many modifications, the subject-matter deemed novel being set forth in the claims.
The revolving drum e and the fixed outer casing 7; carry sets of blades c and d. rllhe foundation-rings e and f' are arranged in grooves formed in the drum and easing. Preferably, as shown in Fig. l, both the rings and grooves are dovetailed or tapered, the rings being formed with a number of parallel tapered slots arranged to make approximately a right angle to one of the faces of the ring, preferably to that toward the exhaust end of the turbine, and these slots extend from their inner to their outer circumferential faces, but not across the ring to the opposite side. As indicated, one end of each blade is stamped into an angle corresponding with the slot, one side of the angled root of the blade entering' a slot in the ring while the other side lies against the face thereof.
As shown in Eig. 1, the root ends or tangs of the blades are preferably dovetailed or tapered, and the slots are dovetailed or tapered to correspond-that 1s to say, the slots and root ends of the blades are constructed to coact with each other to securely hold the blades in place. Calking rings or strips .f7 are preferably employed to hold the rings and the blades in place in the grooves. ln the construction shown, since part of the end or tang of each blade is outside of its slot, the pressure caused by the calkingaing forces this projecting' portion of the blade against the adjacent wall of the groove in the drinn or in the casing, so that the blades are held much more securely than they would be if otherwise formed.
1. The combination of a grooved turbine casing or drum, a ringhaving a series of slots on one side, a series of blades whose ends enter the slots but project beyond them at the side of the ring, and means for holding' the ring and the blades in the groove.
2.

6. The combination of a turbine casing or drum having a groove in it, a ring in the groove having a series of slots on one side of it, such slots making approximately a right angle With-the face of the ring, a series of blades Whose ends are in the form of a corresponding angle, one side of each angle entering a slot and the other lying against the side ofy the ring, and a calking-strip in the groove between one side of itand the unslotted side ot' the ring.
7. The combination oi' a turbine casing or drum having a groove in it, a ring having a series of slots on one side ot' it, such slots making approximately a right angle with the face of the ring, a series of blades Whose ends are in the form of a corresponding angle, one side of each angle entering a slot and the other lying against the side of the ring, such slots and the sides of theangles in them being dovetailed,` and means for holding the ring and blades in the groove.
8. The combination of a turbine casing or drum having a groove in it, a ring in the groove havingaseries of slots on one side of 1t, such slots making approximately a right angle with the face of the ring, a series of blades Whose ends are in the form of a corresponding angle, one side of each angle entering a slot and the other lying against the side of the ring, such slots and the sides of the angles in them being dovetailed, and a calking: strip in the groove between one side of it and the unslotted side of the ring.

ends and including a calking-strip for holding the ring and blades in the groove.
13. The combination oi' a grooved turbine easing or drum, a ring, tapered slots in the ring, blades having tapered ends eoaeting with the slots and a calking-strip for locking the blades to the ring and for holding the ring in the groove.
