Title: Improvements in Appliances for Separating Oil from Steam.
Inventor: OSBOURN MILLARD PALAGANO
Filed: 1902-12-19
Granted: 1903-12-03
Abstract: 28,085. Osbourn, M. P. Dec. 19. Steam separators. -In an apparatus for separating oil and oily water from steam, the steam, after passing between watercooled tubes e at the entrance to the separator, expands in a chamber i, after which it passes through the baffle chamber j to the outlet c. When a pressure is maintained in the separator, the valve p<1>, in the discharge pipe p of the drip chamber n in which the drips collect, is controlled automatically by a float-and-lever arrangement, Fig. 5, so that the drips will be discharged only when a certain level has been reached. Where a partial vacuum is maintained, the float-and-lever arrangement is connected to the valve n<1>, Fig. 4, which controls the supply of steam to a pump e' employed to force the drips from the drip chamber to a chamber h<2>, which communicates by a pipe i<1> with the separator, and by a pipe j<1> with a seal pot k<1>. The water tubes e are fitted in headers f, f<1> having plugged apertures g in line with the tubes, to facilitate the cleaning or replacement of the tubes. The water which circulates may be part of the feedwater of the boiler. The baffles m, preferably of the hook-shaped " Webster " form, are placed between horizontal plates k. The automatic float and lever regulator consiits of a float s, Figs. 4 and 5, connected to a lever r, which has one arm inside the drip chamber, and the other connected by rods q, p<2> to the valves n' or p<1> outside. The pump e<1> is preferably below the level of the contents of the drip chamber.

Granted: 1904-02-11
Abstract: 3638. Chamberlain, A. N., and Hall, W. L. S. Feb. 16. Door holders. - Relates to door holders for ship and other use, operating by adjustable friction devices, and also by the engagement of toothed plates. The arm d', secured to the door, carries a sliding part d, as shown in Figs. 1 and 3, which slides within the carrier a, perforated for lightness. The part d is clamped to any extent by a clamp c. The base-plate of the carrier is recessed at a<2>, to allow the door to open fully, and forms a stop. In Figs, 4 and 6, the arms f, d' are shown pivoted to the door and frame respectively, and together at d, the arm a being gripped between the bifurcated end d by a clamp h. The clutch d may slide on the arm a as a guide, and the arm d<1> be discarded. The clutch d may be serrated or fitted with rubber, without the use of the clamp h. In Figs. 7 and 8, a quadrant arm a is shown, tapered at its outer edge a<2>, and formed with teeth on its underside. The arm a passes through a slot k<1> in the door, and is secured to a plate k fixed to the door frame. The teeth j are engaged by teeth on the bottom jaw of a plate m, the upper jaw riding smoothly on the arm a. The rods p, q connect the plate m to the door handle o, by turning which the door is released. A rose turning with the handle may take the place of the rod q. A spring s is provided to keep the teeth on the arm a and the plate m in engagement. A catch t pivoted to the plate m falls over the arm a, and prevents the plate m from being disengaged. In Fig. 11, a square-ended spindle u<1> is shown, secured in the plate u on the door frame. A plate v is secured to the door and bent round the cylindrical part of the spindle, and is made to grip the spindle by means of the clamp v<3>. Instead of the friction clutches, toothed devices fitted with springs may be used, released by pressure on the door. The release may, in some cases, be effected by parts other than the handles. In the form shown in Figs. 7 and 8, the plate m may be attached to the rod p by a vertical pivot, and the tooth on the bottom jaw of the plate be tapered, so that it slips over the teeth when manual pressure is applied to the door.

Title: Improvements in Power Looms.
Inventor: THOMPSON WILLIAM PHILLIPS
Filed: 1903-03-10
Granted: 1903-05-07
Abstract: 5582. Thompson, W. P., [Patterson, S. F.]. March 10. Loom shedding-motions; shuttles, changing bobbins and the like in, automatically; jacquards.- Consists in applying to a loom both jacquard mechanism and automatic means for supplying weft or filling to the shuttle. Any suitable jacquard mechanism may be employed, the cylinder of which is operated by a crank-pin a, rod d, and lever K from the crank shaft D, while the picker shaft H carries a double crank b, c connected by the rods e, f with the levers L, M which raise and lower the griffes. Any suitable automatic mechanism C may be employed for supplying a cop &c. of weft to the shuttle when the supply therein fails or becomes broken. The type of magazine shown in the drawings and described in the Specification is one in which the cops &c. are carried round the circumference of a notched discs, which is intermittently rotated and has a cop &c. ejected from it and into the shuttle, as required, by a hammer s operated by connections with the weft fork and the lay. Upon the shoot arm of the hammer lever o is pivoted a notched block t, which is held in the position shown against the action of a spring by a hook u connected to the lever T and operated by a spring w attached to the lever x, which also holds a detector lever U, by means of the connections shown, in the full-line position in Fig. 4. When the weft fails, and the shuttle has properly entered the box, the weft-fork hammer operates the weft-fork slide, and moves the lever f <1> into the dotted-line position, Fig. 4, thereby releasing the lever T, allowing the lever U and hook u to be moved into the dotted positions by a spring d<1>. The block t is thereby released, and is turned by its spring so that its notched end is brought opposite a projection k<1> on the lay, which thereby operates the hammer s and causes it to transfer a bobbin from the magazine to the shuttle and to eject from the latter the empty bobbin. The usual devices for stopping the loom when a warp thread breaks, or when the shuttle does not reach its proper position at the end of the box &c., may be used.

Granted: 1904-04-28
Abstract: 28,700. Rugh, H. O. Dec. 30. Telegraphs.-Combined duplex systems, in which direct-current stations are protected by choking- coils and the local circuits of alternating-current stations, contain the secondaries of transformers, of which the primaries are in the line-wire. Transmitting and receiving apparatus for direct currents are shown at 2, Fig. 1, and the like for alternating currents at 3. The former consists of a battery 8, sending-key 9, choking-coil 7<a>, and relay 7 operating a receiving-sounder 10 in a local circuit. The circuit for alternating-currents in the line-wire 1 is completed by condenser-protected earths 11, and currents flowing through the primary 12 induce currents in the secondary 13, and thus in the relay 14, which has a permanent magnet 15, and an armature of soft iron in the form of a disc 19, Fig. 2, pivoted at its upper end, and normally completing the local circuit through one coil 16 of the electromagnet of a receiver, the other coil 17 of which is in parallel and oppositely-wound, and is always energized. The disc contacts with a spring-held arm 21 possessing inertia, and the passage of an alternating current through the relay 14 separates these parts, thereby actuating the armature of the sounder 30. From the relay the alternating-current returns to the secondary 13 through the variable impedance 28 and the sending- key 26, which, when depressed, sends currents from the generator 25 in parallel through the secondary and through the variable impedance and relay 14, whereby the message is heard on the sounder of the transmitting-station.
