Granted: 1913-10-09
Abstract: 23,255. Brindley, H. S. B., and Boiler Scalers, Ltd. Oct. 11. [Cognate Application 23,436/12.] Percussive hand tools. -In order to increase the power without increasing the diameter of percussive hammers, tools for scaling boiler tubes &c., the pressure fluid is arranged to act simultaneously upon two surfaces. In the construction shown in Fig. 2, the pressure fluid is supplied through passage q and ports r to act upon the small internal annular head of the piston b and force it rearwards. When the ports s are uncovered by the ports t, the fluid acts upon the end of the piston and the larger annular surface, and forces the piston forwards until the ports t pass the shoulder on the central spindle, whereupon the fluid is exhausted through ports u, v. The cutters are secured by a spring n and nut o upon the spindle m as described in Specification 20,823/12. In the present case, a pad of rubber p is introduced to absorb the shocks, and the exhaust is arranged to clear the front of the cutters. In a modification, a cylinder is provided having an internal shoulder which engages a piston having two heads working in the cylinder on either side of the shoulder

Abstract: 10,305. Biddlecombe, F. G. L. May 1. Vaporizers, external. -In a process for the production of combustible gas from liquid fuel by partial combustion, the oil is sprayed into a chamber A from a nozzle B on the top of a fuel pipe E by means of air which is drawn in from a passage J by the suction of the engine. The mixture of oil and air is preferably given a whirling motion on admission to the chamber A so that the spray at some distance from the nozzle practically fills the area of the chamber, and a secondary air supply is admitted through holes D covered by a channelled ring M. The combustible mixture is ignited by a sparking-plug L or by other suitable means not involving the use of spirit or preliminary heating and is conveyed by an outlet pipe C to the engine. In a modification, two or more nozzles are employed, a small nozzle serving for starting purposes, also the chamber A may be provided with a jacket forming a space surrounding the chamber and through which the gas generated may pass so as to preserve a constant temperature in the apparatus and heat the oil before it is sprayed into the chamber A.

Abstract: 18,889. Hart, J. A. Aug. 20. Moistening.-A trough containing water to be evaporated is so arranged in connexion with a water-heated radiator that a portion of the hot water supplied to the radiator heats the trough to increase evaporation, and the supply of water heating the trough can be regulated to be independent of, and also proportional to, the supply to the radiator. In the form shown, the portion b of the trough a containing the heating-water is connected to the radiator in parallel by pipes f, g which also serve to support the trough. A valve d in the pipe g allows of the regulation of the supply to the trough independent of the supply to the radiator, while the supply to both is controlled by the ordinary control valve e of the radiator. Water is supplied to the evaporating portion of .the trough from the heating portion by a ball-cock h. The trough may be of V-shaped section, the ball-cock h then being made adjustable so that the evaporating area may be regulated. The trough is placed near the radiator, so that the convection currents from the radiator flow past it. These currents may be directed on to the surface of the water by baffles.

In one form of apparatus, shown in Specification 13,934/14, the subdivided coal is supplied to the retorts, which are preferably 3 to 6 inches in depth, from a shoot r common to all the retorts, by means of plungers s reciprocated from a hydraulic ram t. A sleeve u for preventing jamming of coal in the shoot is arranged between each plunger s and its casing, as described in Specification 13,936/14, [Class 51 (ii), Furnaces and kilns for applying &c.], and is connected with the plunger-rod by means of rods v and slotted links x, so that the sleeve u moves more slowly than the plunger. The material passes through the retorts in the opposite direction to the external heating-gases, and the openings in the retorts for the escape of the volatile products are so formed that the coal does not issue therefrom. The discharge from the retort may be hindered in such a way that the pressure is increased in the retort. Specification 17,502/14 is referred to.
