Abstract: 1567. Lipman, J. F., and Jacobs, R. Jan. 20. Levers, locking.-Relates to change-gear controlling mechanism in which a hand-lever is provided with means for disengaging a pawl from one notch of a quadrant and ensuring its engagement with the next notch. The lever is locked by a two-armed pivoted pawl 15, 18, Figs. 1 and 3, which engages notches 19 in the side of the quadrant 1, being pressed into engagement by a spring 20. The pawl is disengaged by the depression of a rod 10, the lower end of which carries a claw 30 adapted to engage the arm 15 of the pawl and recesses 31 in the quadrant.

Abstract: 6679. Johnson, J. Y., [Shipley, T.]. March 18. Refrigerating, compression machines and condensers for.-In a condenser for use with ammonia refrigerating and ice-making plants, the compressed ammonia gas is injected into a return or shunt pipe directly connecting the ends of the body of the condenser. In Fig. 1, the ends of the coil condenser A<1> ... A<10>, arranged beneath a water-distributing trough X, are connected by a return pipe C into which the ammonia gas from the compressor is discharged through a nozzle c, thus inducing a flow of the liquid ammonia from the lower to the upper part of the coil. The accumulation of liquid due to the condensation of the gas is taken off through a valve-controlled outlet D, preferably arranged at a point where the liquid is coldest. The compressed gas may be subjected to a preliminary cooling in a coil B, and a purge valve E may be fitted to the condenser coil. The gasinjecting nozzle may be placed at other points of the condenser, such as in the bottom stretch A' opposite to the return pipe C. Fig. 3 shows the invention applied to a shell condenser F fitted with tubes g for the passage of cooling water. The compressed ammonia gas is discharged through a nozzle c<1> into a pipe C<1> connecting the top and bottom of the shell so as to circulate the liquid. The excess ammonia passes off through a pipe D<1> leading from a pipe h connecting the top and bottom of the shell. The nozzle may also be arranged, as shown in dotted lines, so as to induce a flow of the liquid in the opposite direction.
