Patent GB-191118821-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in the Hydraulic Production of Power by the Direct Operation of Combustible Gases.
Inventor: COSTER ARTHUR VENNELL
Filed: 1911-08-22
Granted: 1912-09-23
Abstract: 18,821. Coster, A. V. Aug. 22. Working-fluid supply.-A turbine is driven by water propelled by the explosion of a gaseous mixture acting directy on the water. By its own residual kinetic energy, the water re-enters the combustion chamber through a non-return valve, and is again propelled by a further explosion. Fig. 1 is a part sectional elevation of the apparatus. The combustion chamber A leads by means of a curved pipe to the turbine B and normally water is contained in the bend C as shown. Fig. 2 is a plan of the apparatus and shows the return pipe D leading from the turbine to the pipe C through the spring-loaded non-return valve E. The fresh mixture may be drawn in by the suction created in the chamber A, or it may be forced in. The products of combustion pass out through the turbine or they may be withdrawn by a fan G. The apparatus is designed for the valve E to admit the water at about the moment when the induced gases reach this valve. The incoming liquid compresses the charge, which is ignited, and the sequence of operations is continued. The ignition may be automatically effected by the movement of the valve E. Two or more separate combustion chambers may direct water to the turbine instead of one as shown. To make up for the water lost by evaporation or leakage, a valve J at the bottom of the bent pipe C is connected with the tank K. The power produced may be regulated by a governor driven from the turbine shaft.

Granted: 1912-02-07
Abstract: 26,091. Hailwood, E. A. Jan. 7. Lighting burners by spontaneously - igniting devices.-A miner's lamp is ignited by the spontaneous combustion of two gases such as acetylene and chlorine. Chlorine is stored or generated in a reservoir D<6> attached to the lamp, and acetylene is generated from calcium carbide and water in a chamber D. The two gases are admitted by fine passages D<3>, D' to an outlet near the burner. Calcium peroxide may be employed instead of carbide. Closed casings for igniting miners' lamps underground.-The spontaneous-combustion device may be used to light a lamp only when completely enclosed in a casing. The chlorine reservoir D<6> is contained in a lower chamber T, Fig. 2, and the lamp is inserted in a chamber T<1> revolving in a chamber T<2>. In the base of the chambers T', T<2> are holes X, X<1>, which only coincide when the chambers are closed. A nozzle D<5> on the lamp is placed over the hole X, and into the hole X' projects a fitting D<8> on the chlorine reservoir. By means of a worm pinion D" operated by an external handle, the fitting D<8> is screwed on to the nozzle D<5>, and a micrometer valve D<7> is opened to admit chlorine to the chamber D<13>, and thence by holes D" into the passage D' leading to the lamp burner. Specification 24,414/08. is referred to.

Abstract: 3949. Beyts, G. F. Feb. 16. [Cognate Application, 4616/12.] Tethering animals.-A tethering-device, particularly for use by cavalry, comprises an iron or steel tube a, Figs. 1 and 2, through which pegs b, c are divergently driven into the ground. The tethering-rope is secured to a ring on a sliding sleeve i, collars j limiting the movement of the sleeve. When the device is not in use, the pegs c are placed inside the hollow pegs b, which are inserted in the ends of the tube a and held by bayonet-fastenings; the tube may then be attached to the saddle. In a modification, four quadrant-shaped pegs are employed, which, when packed together inside the tube, are secured at one end by a spring ring. Thongs or the like secure the pegs to the tethering-ring to prevent loss. In another modification, four round pegs with semicircular heads are packed into the tube in pairs at its ends. In some cases only two pegs need be driven into the ground. If the pull is only in one direction, the central pegs are driven in in the direction of the pull. Locking-devices such as screws may be used to secure the pegs in the tube, either when the device is fastened to the ground or when packed for transport

The nozzle 4 has a perforated cap 5 and projects the fuel on to a roughened cone 17. The air enters through ports 11, 12, 13 formed respectively in a ring 10, the casing 9 and a rotatable valve 8 the upper end 15 of which is conical and works in conjunction with a similarly-shaped seating 19. The mixture ports are shown at 18, 20. The air is directed on to the cap 5 by a ring 21. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) mentions also that a heating- chamber is provided at 25, and describes another form of carburettor shown in Fig. 3 (Cancelled). In this, the nozzle 4 delivers into a chamber 29 formed on the cone 15 and perforated at 30. The annular space 33 between the valve 8 and casing 9 communicates with the mixing-chamber through orifices 37 and with the induction passage through a conduit 34 controlled by a screw plug 35. This provides a supply of mixture for starting and slow running. The casing 9 is secured by a stirrup 38 and screw 39. A heating-jacket is provided at 41. In a further modification, the nozzle projects into a chamber formed in a long extension of the cone 15 the chamber being perforated and the perforations controlled by other perforations in an extension of the conical seating 19. The nozzle is further surrounded by a tube which gives " an indirect admission of throttled air." This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Abstract: 16,402. Diplock, B. J. July 16. Portable-track wheels. - Relates to vehicles supported on chains of feet running on rails on the body of the vehicle as described in Specification 14,491/12. The foot-carriers b, Fig. 5, have on each side pins b<6>, B<1> which are engaged by two sprocket wheels of different size on the same shaft so that the chain of feet is controlled at two points at different distances from the centre when passing round the ends of the vehicle. Surfaces B<4> are formed on spring-controlled sleeves B, which are mounted on columns on the foot-carriers and which carry the slippers b<2>, b<3>, for the purpose of providing a bearing for the spring chain f connecting the foot-carriers together. Between the slippers b', Figs. 2 and 5, which are of trough section, and the main rail c<1>, which has two ribs c<4>, is placed a triple chain d<1> comprising vertical rollers bearing on the rail and bottoms of the slippers and horizontal rollers bearing on the ribs c<4> and the sides of the slippers. Double chains d<2>, d<3> are placed between the slippers b<2>, b<3> which have central ribs b<4> and the troughshaped rails c<2>, c<3>. The horizontal and vertical rollers are alternated in the outside rows. so that their projections on a plane perpendicular to the chain form a cross in which the arms divide the stem unequally, and in the case of a triple chain the central row comprises vertical rollers only. Thechain is built up of L-shaped blocks l, Fig. 12, through which pass the vertical spindles l<3> for the horizontal rollers l<4>, the spindles l<5> of the vertical rollers l<6> screwing into horizontal tapped holes in the blocks, and serving, in the case of a triple chain, to connect the two series of blocks. The members in each row are connected by forks l<13>, Fig. 8, the free ends of which form bearings for the spindles of the vertical rollers, and the bends work against springs l<12> in boxes l<10>, of rectangular or trapezoidal section, which embrace the blocks and are pierced from the passage of the spindles l<3>. The rollers may be mounted under spring control axially by means of bushes l<8>, Fig. 12, and springs l<9>. The mechanism is enclosed by plates m, Figs. 1 and 2, bolted to the rails c<2>, c<3>, and having at the bottom inwardly-directed flanges m4 and at the top flanges shaped as shown at m<2>, m<3>, dirt that is arrested by the top flanges escaping between the arms o<1>, which support extension plates o. The edge opening of the casing is covered by the feet and by canvas sheets n, with spring insertions n<2> in the centre part, attached to successive feet and also connected together by chains n<3> and springs n<4>.
