Title: Improvements in and relating to the Supply and Control of Air for Boiler and other Furnaces.
Inventor: HUBBARD WILLIAM SAMMONS
Filed: 1908-04-30
Granted: 1908-10-08
Abstract: 9401. Hubbard, W. S. April 30. Smoke-consuming; fire-bridges; air supply, regulating; blast apparatus.-Relates to means for imparting a whirling motion to the gases passing through a furnace flue by supplying air at the back of the fire-bridge from a chamber 15, Figs. 1 and 3, formed with a curved side 14 and divided by curved plates 16. The outlet for the air, which occupies half the width of the flue, is inclined and covered by the bridge so that the ironwork is protected and dust &c. is prevented from being carried into the chamber. The fire-bars are preferably arranged transversely, and may be supported by a plate 2 so that a chamber 3 is formed beneath the fire-bars. Air is supplied to this chamber and also to the chamber 15 from tubes 4, contracted, as shown, and tapered at their inner ends. These tubes are mounted at the front plate of the chamber 3 and are supported at the rear by a plate 8. Circular slide valves are provided in the tubes and may be connected together by a bar 11 free to move in a slot 13, so that by means of a rod attached to the bar 11 and extending to the furnace front, a lateral movement may be simultaneously imparted to all the valves. When the valve is in the position shown, air passes only to the ash-pit through rectangular openings 5 but when the valve is pulled forward, a part of the air passes into the chamber 15.

Granted: 1909-02-11
Abstract: 9488. Adams, A. H. May 1. Motor road vehicles. - Relates to pedal and like controlling-mechanism suitable for motor - car and other change-speed gearing of the kind in which clutches or like elements are moved to and held in their operative positions by springs. A spring-actuated device is set free when all the pedals are released, and thereupon acts against the springs of the said elements and holds the elements inoperative. Clutches n, n', Fig. 2, which are thrust by springs towards each other to come into action, are disengaged when pivoted levers j, k, respectively, are thrust outwards. Pedals a, b, c, d and a lever fare pivoted on a spindle e between the levers j, k. When the pedals a, b, c, d are released, the lever f is actuated by a strong spring i, Fig. 1, and by means of cams g, h thrusts or holds the levers j, k outwards so as to maintain the clutches n, n<1> inoperative. The lever f is connected by a link y, Fig. 1, to a frame z, which rocks upon a spindle 2 when struck by a "hook" 4 upon one of the pedals a, b, c, d. When the pedal a is actuated, its hook 4 strikes the frame z, which pulls the link y and tilts the cams g, h out of action, so that the clutches n, n' are free to come into operation. Any one of the pedals a, b, c becomes locked in its displaced position by its hook 4 catching under a dog 5 pivoted on the spindle 2. When any of the pedals a, b, c, d is actuated, any other that may have been locked in active position is automatically released and returned by a spring. The pedal b, when actuated, rocks the frame z and lever y, as before, or holds these parts in their displaced position. A cam q, Fig. 4, on the pedal b strikes the lever j and disengages the clutch n. The pedal c rocks the frame z, and, by means of a cam r, strikes the lever k and disengages the clutch n'. The pedals b, c also carry hooks u, fig. 1, adapted to actuate a brake x. The hook 4 ot the lever d rocks the frame z but is not looked by any dog 5. A cam s, Fig. 1, acts through a lever t to thrust the lever k outwards beyond the position required to disengage the clutch n<1>, until a second brake (not shown) is actuated.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Automatically Raising Liquids by Direct Air Pressure.
Inventor: LEIGH ARTHUR GRAHAM
IPC: E03F1/00
Filed: 1909-11-30
Granted: 1910-04-14
Abstract: 27,885. Leigh, A. G. Nov. 30. Direct air-pressure apparatus, automatic.- Compressed-air apparatus for raising sewage and other liquids is provided with special valve mechanism, and the valve and float members have a particular arrangement. Sewage from the main 20, Fig. 1, is supplied by a tipping bucket 29 to the supply pipe 5 of the ejector 4. The ejector has a central tube 1, connected with the pipe 5, and in the upper part of it is situated the valve-controlling float 3. The compressed-air main 19 is connected with the upper part of the valve chamber 7, the lower part being connected with the ejector by the pipe 18. The compound valve comprises a cylindrical part 12, Fig. 2, closed at the base, and having perforations 13, which operate in conjunction with a packed gland 25, and provide a means for opening the ejector to the atmosphere. A disk valve 2, which controls the air supply from the pipe 19 to the pipe 18, has a tubular extension in which moves an enlarged part 22 of a stem attached to the part 13, whereby the upper valve is suitably operated by the lower valve, which is itself moved by the float through the connexion 17. The upward movement of the float is limited by a stop 28. In the modification shown in Fig. 3, the pipe 18 is a flexible one and is connected with the exhaust valve, and there is no lost motion between the exhaust and inlet valves. The tipping buckets 29 are pivoted at 31 to a dividing wall 32 and have buoyancy chambers 30, so that, when the supply to any one ejector is more than it can cope with, the buoyant vessel is raised with the consequent increase in the level of sewage in the corresponding supply pipe, and the vessel tips over and diverts the supply to another ejector.
