Granted: 1913-02-24
Abstract: 1750. Still, W. J. Jan. 22. Motor power plant.-A thin cylinder is strengthened by a pressure-resisting sleeve which forms the outer wall of the cooling-jacket, the invention being particularly applicable to engines in which the waste heat is used to generate steam from the cooling-jacket water for use expansively behind the piston. The cylinder 1 is formed with ribs 10, Figs. 1 and 2, encircled by the sleeve 12, and the jacket spaces between the ribs are supplied with water circulating from a boiler. The exhaust gases are supplied to the boiler and pass through tubes to a feedwater-heater. Steam is supplied to the rear of the piston from a valve chest 9 connected with the boiler. The sleeve 12 may be removably mounted on the cylinder by a flanged joint at its lower end and by a stuffing-box joint at its upper end as shown in Fig. 1, the sleeve being preferably turned taper and forced over the ribs 10; or a non-removable sleeve may be shrunk over the ribs and over a flange 25, Fig. 3, forming the bottom of the jacket. In the latter case the cylinder head carrying the valves is removable, being formed with grooves 27 fitting over the tops of the walls of the cylinder and of the sleeve, and being secured by bolts 28 taking into some of the ribs on the cylinder. In an engine of the type described in Specification 25,356/10, having oppositelymoving pistons, the central portion of the cylinder is ribbed, and a sleeve is placed over the ribs in the assembling of the parts. The end portions forming the steam expansion chambers bear against rings 39, Fig. 7, closing the water jacket, and are drawn together by bolts embedded in the lagging of the sleeve 35. To relieve the structure of strains due to excessive expansion of the sleeve 35, the rings 39 are formed with rounded outer surfaces 43, and with grooves 44 in their inner surfaces.

Filed: 1912-02-13
Granted: 1913-02-13
Abstract: 3628. Guasco, A. Feb. 13. Explosive and combustible gases, detecting.-An apparatus for indicating the presence of toxic or inflammable gases in the air comprises, in one form, two bulbs h, i connected by a tube j partly filled with liquid. The bulb i is covered with a catalytic metal m, and the two bulbs are enclosed in an insulating-envelope x having a porous wall which maintains the bulbs, in the absence of combustible gases, at an even temperature, and permits endosmose. The contact of combustible gas with the bulbs is facilitated by endosmose, and has the effect, due to the catalytic metal, of raising the temperature of the bulb i and displacing the liquid in the tube j, the amount of displacement being an indication of the amount of combustib'e gas present. In a modification, the liquid in the tube j, when displaced, closes an electric circuit, thereby actuating an annunciator bell. In another form, two chambers o, p, Fig. 3, are separated by a metallic diaphragm u, one chamber being covered with the catalytic metal t. The whole is enclosed in a vessel (not shown) having a porous partition. The presence of a combustible gas causes the gas in the chamber p to expand and press the disk u against a copper sheet s, thus closing a circuit and actuating an electric bell.

Granted: 1913-02-27
Abstract: 5338. Bacon, R. H. S., and Shepherd, F. W. H. March 2. Loading-appliances.-Relates to loading-cages of the type described in Specification 10,271/10, and consists in means for controlling the movement of the inner cage in the main cage; these means comprise (1) a cylinder filled with liquid in which works a piston, the rod of which carries a pulley over which passes a rope for moving the inner cage relatively to the main cage; (2) a device for arresting the movement of the piston-rod when it reaches any predetermined position; (3) and means for forcing in the piston-rod to raise the inner cage. In the form shown in Fig. 2, the main cage a carries a cylinder b full of water, in which works a piston c on a rod d carrying a pulley e round which passes the rope f secured at one end to the main cage and at the other to the inner cage g. A valve-key h operated by the lever k through suitable linkages passes through an orifice in the piston c, and is so formed that, in certain predetermined positions of the piston, it closes this orifice and arrests the motion of the piston and inner cage. When the cage a is at the bottom of the hoist, the cage g is at the bottom of the cage a. As the latter is raised, a detent on an arm p pivoted at q to the hoist retains a projection n on the piston-rod, thereby drawing down the piston and raising the cage g to its highest position inside the main cage. The guide r then rises clear of the roller s, and the arm p swings clear of the projection n, the piston c being thereafter held stationary in its cylinder by the key h. When the cage a reaches its highest position, the key h is operated by the lever k to allow the piston to ascend, and the cage c to fall under its weight, until the motion is again arrested by the key h. Any number of such stopping positions of the cage g may be arranged for by suitably shaping the key h. The lever k may be worked by hand, or by the piston of an hydraulic cylinder w on the gun slide, the motions of the piston being governed by the rammer-control gear, and after each movement, the lever k may be returned to its initial position by a spring plunger u on the main cage engaging a cam v on the cage g. In a modification, the pulley e turns on the lower end of the rod d, which is driven up to raise the cage g when the cage a is at the bottom of the hoist by means of an hydraulic ram. Specifications 21,598/07 and 5335/12 are referred to.
