Patent GB-191119058-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Burning Liquid Fuel.
Inventor: KERMODE JOHN JONATHAN
IPC: F23C1/02
Filed: 1911-08-25
Granted: 1912-08-26
Abstract: 19,058. Kermode, J. J. Aug. 25. [Cognate Application, 4094/12.] Liquid-fuel furnaces.-In boiler furnaces burning liquid fuel only, or alternatively to coal, air-regulating jet casings having renewable parts which may be withdrawn and replaced by plugs while the boiler is under steam are provided round the burners and within an aircasing having non-return inlet valves. The aircasing forms one or more chambers on the furnace front with openings through them for the ordinary furnace doors, if any, and the burners B are carried by brackets b<2> on removable burner plates b<1> closing openings in the front wall c<1> of the air-casing. The jet casing comprises a fixed part d<2> bolted to the boiler front a<4> and part d<1> preferably stopping short of the front wall of the air-casing. Air passes through ports d<3>, d<4> and also through the end of the part d<1> which is axially and rotatably adjustable to regulate the supply. Axial adjustment is effected by a screwed stud F passing through a bracket f<1>, and to permit rotary adjustment of the part d<1> the bracket f<1> is secured by bolts passing through slots in the burner plate. By drawing the part d<1> right back to the burner plate, the air supply through the jet casing may be entirely cut off. The ports are preferably inclined to the radii and may incline to the axis. The opening in the wall c<1> is large enough for removal of the part d' and for the insertion of a refractory plug E, Fig. 10, which may be held in position by a bolt e<2> which carries two plates e<3>, e<4> engaging the burner plate. Alternatively, in the modification shown in Fig. 4, a shoulder on the plug may engage the edge of the lining a<7>, and the plate e<4> may be dispensed with. A modification of the jet casing may have the ports in the part d<1> formed as slots on its outer surface, the slots being parallel to the axis or helical, and delivering directly into the furnace. In addition. a series of inclined vanes may also be fitted in the mouth of the part d' to give a whirling motion to the air. In the modification shown in Fig. 10, the movable part of the jet casing is outside the fixed part. In the case of a cylindrical boiler with coal firing, as shown in Figs. 14 and 15, the jet casing is formed above the fire door by flanges p<1> on castings P<1> surrounding the fire-hole, and the burner B and air-casing may be cut off from the furnace when the burner is not in use by means of sliding shutters o<1> having racks o<2> by which they are operated by pinions o<3>. An air-casing with non- return inlet valves R is formed round the jet casing.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Valve Control Systems for Elastic Fluid Turbines.
Inventor: CARROLL MORRIS BURT
IPC: F01D1/02

Granted: 1911-12-14
Abstract: 20,326. Carroll, M. B. Sept. 13, 1910, [Convention date]. Regulating mixed-pressure turbines. Relates to valve-gear in which a servo-motor 6, controlled by a governor-actuated pilot valve 15, operates a spindle 5 to open the low-pressure steam valve to its full extent before admitting high-pressure steam to the turbine. The invention consists in the provision of a ported sleeve 16 surrounding the valve 15 arranged to be moved up or down through the medium of a piston 23, the upper and under sides of which are subjected respectively to atmospheric pressure and to the pressure of the low-pressure steam supply. Should the pressure of the lowpressure steam supply fall, the sleeve 16 is moved downwards and the servo-motor 6 is operated to open immediately the high-pressure valves without waiting for the speed-regulating governor to operate. The sleeve 16 and piston 23 are balanced by weights 25.

Abstract: 6708. Bollack, L. A. March 18. Anchoring; shock of landing, deadening.-A skid for use on aerial machines is pivoted about a transverse axis so as to be capable of serving as an anchor, a brake, or a skid. In the vertical position shown in Fig. 1, the skid C is in the braking position, the resistance of the ground causing the upper end of the skid to abut against a hook H<2> and to tension the spring D. The hook H<2> forms part of a member H pivoted about a vertical axis and acted on by a spring J. The hook-piece H is rotated by a hand-lever M and cord L. When the hook H<2> is withdrawn from the skid, the latter takes up the skid position shown in chain lines, the spring D being then stretched further. On starting, the rear of the machine is raised to allow the spring D to draw the skid into the anchoring position shown in dotted lines, a hook H<3> on the member H holding the skid in place. The skid is adapted to abut against a peg &c. fixed in the ground, from which it can be released to free the machine for starting.
