Title: Improvements in Mechanical Stokers for Boiler and like Furnaces.
Inventor: MARCOTTY FRANZ
IPC: F23K3/10
Filed: 1913-11-24
Granted: 1914-01-22
Abstract: 27,057. Marcotty, F. Oct. 10, [Convention date]. Mechanical stoking.-In an underfeed stoker of the kind in which the fuel is fed on to the grate by a rotary drum, the drum is driven through friction gearing by a reciprocating rod during its stroke in one direction only, such stroke being effected through yielding means, such as a spring or weight, arranged in the length of the rod or as an extension thereof to prevent danger or breakage when the drum is obstructed by hard or large pieces of fuel. Fuel is fed bv the shoot 4, Fig. 1, to the rotary drum 5, which is provided with pushers 34, Fig. 3, moving between walls 9, 10 forming pockets from which the fuel is fed on to the grate as the drum rotates. The pushers are mounted on axes 33 carrying arms which are provided with rollers engaging with slotted cams which cause oscillation of the pushers. The drum is provided on one side with a ring having a surface with which friction blocks 21, Fig. 6, engage, the blocks being mounted on links 20 carried by diametrically opposite arms 19 of the lever 18 which is actuated by the reciprocating rod 27. The blocks 21 engage with the drum ring during motion in one direction only of the rod 27 so that the drum is given an intermittent motion. The rod 27 is operated from the axle 29 of the locomotive through gearing 23, 24, 25, Fig. 1, and shaft 26 carried by a forked lever mounted on the spindle 45. The shaft 26 carries an eccentric 28, embraced by a ring mounted on ball bearings, and serving to actuate a lever 13, which is pivoted at 42 and connected to the rod 27. The rod 27 is moved by the eccentric 28 in one direction so as to extend the spring 41, while motion is not communicated to the drum, but as soon as the eccentric moves so as to allow the lever 13 to oscillate in the opposite direction the spring 41 returns the rod 27 and rotates the drum. To regulate the stroke of the rod 27, 'the lever carrying the eccentric 29 may be raised or lowered, to vary the angle of oscillation of the lever 13, by a rod 14 through a bell-crank lever 16 and rod 17 connected to a nut 56 adapted to traverse a guide by means of a screw 57 operated by a crank handle 58. In the modification shown in Fig. 11, the eccentric 28 is arranged on the opposite side of the lever 13, and the spring 41 is interposed in the rod 27. The non-driving stroke of the rod 27 is effected by a spring 62. The spring shown in Fig. 1 may be replaced by a weight connected by a rope to the lower end of the lever 13.

The coupler arm is bifurcated, and when the knuckle a is to be used, it is mounted between the upper and lower portions e<1>, e<2> of the arm upon a pivot pin d. When the knuckle is not required, the pin d is removed and is passed through lugs f formed on the coupler arm and through a second pivot hole b in the knuckle. Fig. 7 shows in sectioned plan the coupler head with the knuckle in use in its locked position, and Fig. 6 shows in elevation the coupler head carrying the knuckle in the out-of-use position. The locking-block g is formed with a groove g<3> which engages a rib e<9> on the wall of the recess in the coupler head, and the block is further guided by a pin g<1> on the block engaging a groove in the wall of the recess. When the knuckle is in use and in the closed position, the downward movement of the block is limited by the pin g<1> resting on the tail of the knuckle. When the knuckle is out of use, the pin g<1> normally rests upon the lower portion e<2> of the coupler arm.

Title: Control Apparatus for use with Anti-aircraft Guns.

Abstract: 16,316. Eliot, E. G. Nov. 19. Teaching gunnery.-Relates to means for controlling a number of anti-aircraft stations, and consists in reproducing at the central control station a miniature representation to scale of the area of control, the positions of gun and searchlight and other observation stations being indicated thereon, and an object or device being suspended thereover and adjusted from time to time to indicate the position or movements of the enemy aircraft. In Fig. 1, a table a represents the area of control and may be marked out in squares or otherwise to facilitate determination of positions. The various stations are indicated at points I, II ... VI which may be raised above the table in proportion to their actual heights above sea level. From an indicator or device k representing in height and position the enemy aircraft, cords, wires or other flexible members extend to the respective stations where they are passed through holes in the table as shown and are wound round the drums of a series of counting or registering devices e which are thereby actuated to indicate the respective distances or ranges between the several stations and the target. The cords are tautened by weights i. At each station a vertical quadrant c is rotatable, preferably on ball bearings as shown in Fig. 2, over a horizontal graduated circle b, concentric with the hole f<1> through which the cord is passed. These quadrants may be set by hand or by electrical control from the stations they represent. The target indicator k is adjusted in height and position by hand according to the first reports received, and thus enables the range, angle of sight and bearing to be read off for any station, and communicated thereto. By means of a plumb line q the position or course of the target over the area can be marked, and by noting time intervals between successive charted positions the speed thereof can be ascertained. The target indicator k, as shown comprises a receptacle m for liquid, counterpoised by a weight l and connected by a flexible tube n to a vertical tube o arranged in conjunction with a scale p, so that the height of the target is indicated by the level of the liquid in relation to the scale. The Provisional Specification also states that the device may be used for instructional purposes.
