Title: Constant Combustion Stove for Liquid Fuel.
Inventor: KLEIN ADOLF
Filed: 1907-11-16
Granted: 1908-04-30
Abstract: 25,456. Klein, A. Nov. 16. Oil reservoirs; vapour burners.-The reservoir of an oil stove is arranged in the stove flues so as to be alternatively heated bv direct contact with the escaping combustion products, or by radiation when the products pass directly to the chimney. In the stove shown in Fig. 1, the combustion products pass over the reservoir 1 or directly to the chimney according as the slide 14 or the slide 15 is open. The slides are connected together and are simultaneously operated by a handle 16. The reservoir is furnished with a screwed plug 2 by which it is secured to the vesel 3. When the reservoir is in position, the screwed plug holds open the valve 6, Fig. 2, which is, however, closed by the spring 7 when the reservoir is removed. The valve casing 4 opens into the vessel 3 at a lower level than the upturned end of the pipe 8 which supplies the oil or vapour, through a valve 9, to the burner 10. The vessel 3 is provided with a strainer 5, a cock 18 for the withdrawal of sediment or residues, and a gauge glass 17 in which is a thermometer 19. When the oil-level in the gauge glass falls to a mark M, the reservoir is shown to be empty and is then replaced by a full one. The hole or holes 24, Fig. 2, in the plugs 2 of full reservoirs are sealed with stearin, paraffin, spermaceti, or the like solid but fusible and combustible material, adapted to melt between 55‹ and 70‹ C. Oil may be supplied in this manner to consumers. In starting the stove with a sealed reservoir, burning material is introduced through the door 22, or oil or spirit is ignited in the priming-cup 12 and the damper handle 16 is pushed in, thus opening the slide 14; the material in the plug 2 melts and oil passes from the reservoir to the burner. When a higher temperature is reached, oil vapour forms and assists the flow of oil &c. to the burner. By removing the cover 25 access may be had to the reservoir, and the latter may be cooled and the room ventilated by admitting air through the dampers on the door 21. The air supply through the opening 23 to the conical burner nozzle 11 is regulated by screwing the plate 13 up or down. An observation hole 20 is provided. The invention is also illustrated in the Specification as applied to a cooking-range and to a tiled stove. In each of these arrangements, access is had to the reservoir through a side door, and the plate for regulating the air supply to the burner is of the hit-and-miss type and is arranged at the side of the stove. Crude oil as obtained from the wells, the residues of petroleum manufacture, tar, and other heavy and waste oils may be used with the apparatus.

Granted: 1908-06-04
Abstract: 2200. Imbault, A., [Guieu, L. M.]. Jan. 31. Lubricating-pumps.-An oscillating lubricatiogpump, suitable for pumping viscous liquids, such as glycerine, and of the type that delivers the liquid along an axial passage in the engine shaft, has an eccentric E, Figs. 1 and 2, formed on the shaft with slots a, r for suction and delivery respectively, the latter slot communicating with an axial passage t in the shaft through a hole r<x>. A barrel C is hung on the eccentric, the rotation of which causes the barrel to reciprocate upon a pivoted plunger P. An inlet pipe c attached to the barrel is constantly immersed in the liquid, and inlet and outlet passages a', r' are formed in the barrel C. The Figures show the position at the beginning of the suction stroke. The pump may be arranged at one end of the shaft. For lubricating when running both forward and reversed, either two separate pumps may be used, or a duplex arrangement shown in Figs. 8 and 9. The eccentric has in this case two inlet slots a and two outlet slots r, as shown, and is surrounded by a sleeve l linked to the reversing-lever. Ports o, o<1> in this sleeve are arranged so as to vary the discharge of lubricant according to the speed.

Abstract: 2357. Lambert, J. Feb. 3. Brakes.-In a track brake, the pressure is applied to the blocks at not less than two points in such a manner that the greatest pressure is exerted on the rear ends of the shoes. The shoe 1, Fig. 3, is carried by a holder 2 sliding in guides 3. Transverse shafts 5, 6 are carried by the guides 3 at each side, and have horizontal fingers 7 and unequal levers 9, 10 fixed to then, similar levers being arranged diagonally opposite. The fingers 7 bear upon pins 8 in the holders 2. The blocks are applied by means of wire ropes 13 passing around pulleys 11, 12, the greater pressure being exerted at the rear ends of the shoes through the longer lever 9 according as the rope at one or the other side of the vehicle is pulled upon from one end of the vehicle or the other. The brakes are retracted by springs 14. In a modification, Fig. 5, the brakes are applied through toggle-levers 15, 16, 17, 18.

Title: An Improved Safety Feed and Finger Guard for Ironing and Wringing Machines and the like.
Inventor: WRIGHT WILLIAM HENRY

Granted: 1909-04-29
Abstract: 14,740. Wright, W. H. July 11. Guards.-In a safety feeding-arrangement for ironing and wringing machines and the like, the articles are laid upon the feed-table r and held by a flap pivoted at k and connected to the starting- lever n. When this lever is actuated to start the machine, the flap is raised to release the goods, and a shutter p sliding in arcuate grcoves h and connected with the lever n by a link l, is lowered into the position shown. Should the operator's hands approach too closely, they come in contact with the roller j carried by the shutter, which is thereupon forced up and stops the machine. The belt-fork rod f has a projecting pin w, which, when the machine is running, rests against the hasp t carried by the horizontally-sliding bar u attached to the lever n. When the bar u is pushed back to stop the machine, the pin w is released, thus enabling the spring v to shift the rod f. The parts are then locked automatically by the housing of the pin w within the hook x attached to the bar u.
