Title: An Improved Superheater for Water Tube Boilers.
Inventor: SCHNEIDER EUGENE
Filed: 1908-09-04
Granted: 1909-09-02
Abstract: 18,605. Schneider, E. Sept. 4. Water-tube boilers; superheaters, steam.-A superheater for a water-tube boiler consists of a rectangular nest of continuous looped tubes a opening into admission and discharge chambers 1, 4, which are arranged parallel with the axis of the boiler and at the lower edges of the nest of tubes. Each tube is bent so as to form alternately a series of U-bends b, and loops d. The bends of adjacent tubes intertwine, the loops of one tube passing inside and pressing against the outer faces of the U-bends of the adjacent tube. The admission chamber 1 is provided with a drain-pipe 6 having a cock controlled by the draining-devices on the engine cylinders. A damper formed in the manner of a louvre blind regulates the passage of the furnace gases through the superheater.

Inventor: CLELAND JAMES
Filed: 1908-11-04
Granted: 1909-06-10
Abstract: 23,565. Cleland, J., and Stewart, J. C. Nov. 4. Liquid-receiving devices for house doors and the like are provided with sliding or hinged shutters which prevent the insertion of a funnel tube, through the door unless a receiving-vessel is in position. The shutter f, Fig. 1, is normally held to cover the hole b by a spring or springs f<1>, and is depressed by the weight of the can k when it is suspended from the hook j. Instead of a shutter, part of the wire frame forming the hook may be arranged normally to obstruct the hole b, in which case the tube d may have one or more cross-cut grooves o, Fig. 6, at its end to embrace the obstructing bar, and prevent it from being pushed downwards. The shutter may have a shelf r to support a jug q. In the modification shown in Fig. 7, the shutter is connected by a cord to a spring-controlled lever u, provided with a hooked arm w for receiving the can. Specification No. 13,313, A.D. 1907, is referred to.

Abstract: 26,430. Krupp Akt.-Ges., F. April 26, [Convention date]. Ordnance breech mechanism. - R e - lates to trigger mechanism of the kind in which a bar connected with the percussion lock is moved by rotating a bar pivoted parallel to the gun's axis, and consists in adapting this mechanism to guns which are fired during run-out. Fig. 1 shows a sectional plan of the parts just before the end of the run-out, the bar D being then automatically moved to operate the slip-lock F by means of the bar Q which has a pivot R, Fig. 3, on a bracket P attached to the cradle and is locked thereto by a pivoted catch E. If the gun misses fire, a lever T is moved against the action of a spring to operate by means of a projection t<3> on an inclined face e' on the catch E to release the bar Q and allow it to move under the action of the bar D to the position shown in Fig. 3. The lever T may be held in this position by a bolt U, but on being released a pin t<4> operates on the bar Q and thereby moves the bar D to fire the gun, the catch E returning to its locking position under the action of the spring e<2>.

Abstract: 1884. French, A. W. Jan. 26, 1909, [Convention date]. Fatty oils, extracting by pressure. The box for feeding the seed &c. to the mouldbox is provided with a levelling-device to prevent irregularities in the surface of the cake. The seed is fed from a kettle A into a feed-box E, which then moves over a mould-box D formed on top of the platen B<1> of the press. The lower edge of the front side f of the box E is at a higher level than the lower edges of the other sides; and during the receding-movement this edge spreads the seed at a higher level than is required. A small box F attached to the box E has a front wall f<3>, the lower edge of which is below the level of the edge of the wall f, so that in following the plate f the wall f<3> removes the superfluous seed, which accumulates in the box F and fills up pits &c. left in the surface of the meal by adherence of seed in the mould to the seed in the box E. While the box E is in the forward position, the outlet of the kettle A is closed by a plate g carried by the feed-box.

The dibblers 26 are connected with the hopper 47 by flexible tubes 43, and move between guide - rollers 27, 28. Their lower ends are moved along curved paths 46 by the movement of the machine and of rods 19, 20, which are'reciprocated vertically by cranks 13, 14 on a rock-shaft 12 and horizontally by cranks 23, 24 on a rockshaft 25. The shafts 12, 25 are actuated by crank mechanism from a shaft 7<a>, which is driven from the travelling wheel 3 by the spur and chain gearing shown. The means for reciprocating the rods 19, 20 horizontally may be dispensed with. Each dibbler comprises two annular casings 48, 49, into the inner one of which the seeds are delivered. It is provided with two leather-covered valves 29, 30, Fig. 2, which are raised and lowered alternately so as to press into the ground the seeds that collect under them. The valves 29, 30 are connected to a beam pivoted on the dibbler and adapted to be rocked by engagement with a frame which is reciprocated by a crank. The amount of seed distributed is regulated by altering the stroke of the valves by varying the angle of oscillation of the rocking beam, and the depth of planting is regulated by adjusting the height of the frame 1.
