Title: Improvements in Acetylene Generators.
Inventor: SIM ALEXANDER
Filed: 1905-07-26
Granted: 1906-07-12
Abstract: 15,331. Sim, A. July 26. Acetylene. - Acetylene gas apparatus in w h i c h the carbide holders a r e successively immersed in the rising water in the generator is arranged so that each holder, when the water has risen sufficiently, shall be suddenly and completely immersed, thus avoiding the heating of the carbide and decomposition of the gas caused by g r a d u a l immersion. The water-tight carbide holders 8 may be provided with opentopped floats o r buoyancy spaces 9, or they may not be completely filled with carbide, so that they will float on water. In one arrangement, a central pillar 10 supported on a cross-bar 11 in the generator is provided with helical grooves 12 which receive pins 15 projecting from the inner faces of tubes 14 through the holders. Ledges 13 are provided in the grooves to support the pins and keep the holders in position when they are placed in the generator. When water is admitted from the inlet 6, the generator gradually fills, and as the water rises it floats the lowest holder 8 upwards, clear of the ledge 13, until its movement is arrested by a stop or by the holder next above it. The lowest holder is thus held stationary until the rising water overflows into the buoyancy space or into the holder, when the latter quickly sinks, the pins 15 being clear of the ledges 13. The upward movement of the top holder is limited by a cap 16, placed on the pillar after the holders have been placed in position. The gas passes off through the outlet 5. As the water rises farther in the container, the same action takes place with the other holders in succession. In another arrangement, the pillars are exterior to the holders and have rings or ledges upon which rest lugs or pins projecting from the sides of the holders. Recesses or slots in the rings allow the lugs to pass in insertion or withdrawal of the holders. The pillars may be replaced by brackets attached to the sides of the generator. When the holders are placed side by side in horizontal containers, they are allowed various heights of lift by stops so that they sink successively. The water may be supplied in a continuous stream from the inlet 6, or it may be intermittent and regulated by the rising and falling of a gas-holder which receives the generated gas.

Title: Steam Boiler.
Inventor: WERA EUGENE LAMBERT JOSEPH
Filed: 1906-10-18
Granted: 1907-04-18
Abstract: 23,099. Wera, E. L. J. Oct. 18. Water-tube boilers; tubes, w a t e r; blow - off apparatus; partit i o n s, internal.- The elements of which steam generators are composed consist of U-tubes or their equivalents, having unequal limbs which are unequally heated by the furnace gases flowing parallel thereto. In the generator shown in Figs. 3 and 5, the U-tubes 3, 4 connect the drums 9, 10 and are heated by the furnaces gases, which come in contact first with the longer limbs 4, and are then deflected downwards by a baffle 7 to ascend around the shorter limbs. In another arrangement, the gases ascend along limbs 4 and then descend around limbs 3. Means are described for blowing out deposts in the drum 10 ; these consist of transverse incomplete partitions 15<1> dividing the drum into three compartments 12, 13, 14. A shaft 16 carries sector valves 15, and also valves 19, which, when in the position shown in Fig. 7, allow water from the drum 9 to flow through pipes 11, under baffles 25, and into the central chamber 13. To blow out the sediment, the shaft 16 is rotated through 90 degrees, thus simultaneously closing the valves 19 to prevent communication between the drums, and also removing sectors 15 to their upper positions covering openings 18. Free communication then exists between the three compartments, and the deposits are blown out through pipes 24. As applied to sectional boilers for heating purposes, Fig. 9, the passages 3, 4 represent the limbs of the U-tubes, and the gases pass around and outside the limbs 4 through external flues 3, being thus partly cooled before coming in contact with the exteriors of passages 3. In the boiler shown in Fig. 12, the gases pass upwards between the longer arms 4 and downwards around the shorter passages to the flues 44, as shown by the arrows on the right-hand portion of the Figure.
