Title: Improvements in Gas Furnaces for Charcoal and like Kilns.
Inventor: BUCHANAN JAMES
Filed: 1905-03-09
Granted: 1906-02-22
Abstract: 4921. Buchanan, J. March 9. Drying-kilns. - In a gaseous-fuel furnace for kilns used in making or revivefying animal or other charcoal, calcining or distilling bones, or drying or charring filtering-media and the like, producer or other gas is admitted by a valve 3, Fig. 2, to a chamber 1, from which it passes by inlets 4 at the top to a mixing-chamber 5. Air to be mixed with the gas is first passed through a casing 11 surrounding the lower parts 12 of the kiln pipes 20, through which the heated material descends, and enters the mixing-chamber 5 through inlets 6 controlled by dampers operated by a handle 8 at the front. The mixture passes through openings 9, preferably arranged over the gas inlets 4, and burns in the combustion chamber 10. In a modification shown in Figs. 3 and 4, which are vertical sections at right-angles, the air is highly heated by being passed from the casing 11 through a passage 14 in the brickwork, and enters the mixing- chamber by openings 15. Cooler air from the casing 11 may also be admitted through the openings 6. The gas may also be heated by leading it from the supply pipe 2<a> through a passage 16 in the brickwork, the heating of the gas tending to prevent the formation of tarry products. To ensure a thorough mixture of gas and air, jets of air from a pipe 17, Fig. 4, may be projected into the inlets 4, and oil may also be sprayed with the air to supplement the gas as fuel. To distribute the heat more uniformly in the kiln, perforated or porous blocks 19, Fig. 4, of metal or refractory material, may be placed over the outlets 9 ; or the whole of the combustion chamber may be filled with perforated blocks or brickwork ; or, when kilns with stationary pipes are used, the interior of the kiln and the space between the pipes may also be filled with the blocks or brickwork. To prevent damage to the walls of the kilns in the event of an explosion of unburnt gases, outwardly - opening relief valves 21, Fig. 4, may be provided at suitable parts of the walls.

Title: Improvements in Electric Switches.
Inventor: JONES WALTER FREDERICK
Filed: 1906-07-07
Granted: 1907-06-27
Abstract: 15,428. Jones, W. F. July 7. Switches. - Barrel-type controllers are constructed with one or more fixed compound conducting magnetic rings, having projecting contact - teeth between which are fixed other insulated contacts. The ring is-connected to one conductor of the supply circuit, and the insulated contacts to the other conductor and to the elements of the circuit to be controlled. An insulated conducting-ring with spring contacts rotates and makes the necessary connexions, the object being to control a number of resistance sections from one ring, the current entering and leaving the same ring. A conducting- ring 1, Fig. 1, has projecting teeth 2, provided with copper contact-segments 8. Spaced between the teeth are similar teeth 3, bolted' to the ring but insulated therefrom by washers 7. An outer ring 9, carrying spring, brushes 11, 16, is rotated round the contactring 1 by supports 10, connected to a frame rotated by an external handle, and may be made of magnetic material and energized by a coil placed in one of the positions 18, 20. Besides carrying the brushes with their actuating- springs 14, the ring, when energized as a magnet, prevents arcing at the contacts, to which-end it is provided with pole extensions 15 and shields 17. Separate contacts and brushes are provided for energizing the ring, and are shown diagrammatically at 23, 24, 25, 26, Fig. 5, the upper part of the Figure showing the connected teeth on the ring spaced between the shaded insulated teeth. The latter are stated in the Provisional Specification to be made also of magnetic material. Position a represents the diametrically opposite brushes 11, 16 in the 'off' position. Movement of ring 9 into position b energizes ring 9. The ring itself then receives the current from contacts 24, 28 and passes it to tooth 27, from which it divides between fields 29 and the armature 31 and its resistances. As the ring moves its teeth through positions b-e, steps of resistance 30, 35, 36 are cut out of the armature circuit and placed in the field, which continues to be fed with current through the insulated tooth 27. Two or more compound rings 1 may be mounted on the barrel, each with its own brush-carrying ring 9, for regulating the current supply to a three-phase motor or to more than one motor. In this case, the rings of either type are connected so as to act together and are insulated from one another. For high voltages, a plurality of units may be arranged in parallel, and a number of intermediate breaks in the resistance regulation effected by putting the brushes in the respective rings 9 out of register with one another. The teeth 2, 3 on ring 1 may be made to face inwards instead of outwards.

Abstract: 252. White, T. Jan. 4. Loading and unloading; conveyers; elevators. -Twin pontoons of the type described in Specification No. 413, A.D. 1904, connected by a rigid superstructure, are employed for transferring coal or similar bulk cargo from barges placed between the pontoons to a wharf or ship. The cargo is raised by means of two chain-and-gravity bucketelevators each employed in unloading one barge, and provided with a weighted compensating loop to allow for relative vertical movement of the pontoons and barge, another loop of the elevator working in a shoe or pocket temporarily anchored in the hold of the barge and fed by a conveyer in the latter ; the cargo is finally discharged from bunker-loading shoots on the top of the superstructure, either direct or by means of conveyers. The apparatus may be arranged for use without the secondary balancing-pontoon. Fig. 1 is a side elevation of the pontoons and superstructure ; Fig. 3 an end elevation of the same ; and Fig. 6 shows details of the pocket in which a loop of the elevator works. Only a half of the apparatus is shown in Fig. 1, the remainder being similar, so that two barges can be unloaded at once. A platform is supported by pillars on the pontoons A, B, and carries the shoot a and the elevator c. The elevator is driven by the wheels b<1>, and guided by, and carried on the lead wheels b, b<2> ... b<5>. The axle of the wheels b<6> slides in vertical guides, allowing a loop to be formed in the elevator chain for adjusting the tension. The chain is kept tight by a weight W and rope W<1> hauled by a winding-engine on the main pontoon A. A pocket or shoe i, Fig. 6, is anchored in the hold of the barge by a fastening i'. The elevator chain and buckets pass around a wheel in the pocket, rollers c<5> on the chain moving in guides in the pocket. The buckets are fed by a conveyer G in the barge through the shoot i<3> in the pocket. The rollers k on the buckets engage the sides of the pocket at i<5> and tip the buckets into a position suitable for receiving the cargo. Small material that escapes the buckets can fall out of the pocket through the small hole i<6>. The buckets discharge their contents into the shoot a, by rollers engaging a tripping plate, and causing the buckets to tip up. In a modified arrangement, the cargo is loaded into a ship by conveyers, some of which are loaded directly by the elevator and discharge into the hatches of the vessel.
