Delivery of liquids.-A coin controlled mechanism for liquid delivery pumps as described in the parent Specification comprises a clutch wheel B mounted on the rotary rack-operating spindle A and engaged by a doubleended pawl B<1> which is moved by a spring rocking arm D to prevent robtion of the spindle A alternately in one direction and the reverse. After the insertion of a coin and operation of a hand lever e<1>, the arm D is rocked to allow the pump handle A<3> to be rotated, in the forward direction. The spindle A through a gear train N moves a rack M carrying a stop m which is adjustable for the amount of liquid to be delivered and which returns the arm D thereby permitting the handle A<3> to be rotated in the reverse direction to return the pump rack. At the end of the return movement a stop m<2> on the rack M actuates a lever O which, by engaging a pin o on the wheel B. prevents further movement of the wheel in the return direction. In a modification, Fig. 7, instead of a sliding rack M, the spindle A actuates a wheel N having a pin n which actuates the arm D by engaging a projection d<1> thereon. The stop lever O is provided with a pin o<2> engaged by a lift n<2> on the periphery of the wheel N. The pin n may be placed in any of a series of holes n<3> to determine the amount of liquid to be delivered. Coin action, mechanical-connection; testing edge of coin for milling.-A milled edged coin inserted through a slot g passes down a shoot G to a position between two knife edged members E, E'. The member E adjustable by a screw e<2> to accommodate coins of different sizes is actuated by the hand lever c<1>, and through the coin actuates the member E' to rock the arm D against the action of a spring d<1>.

Abstract: 822,318. Water-tube steam boilers. VOR. KAUF, H. March 14, 1957 [March 15, 1956], No. 8493/57. Class 123(2) A water-tube boiler has a heating surface consisting of two groups 1, 2 of steam generating tubes disposed obliquely across a gas flue extending upwardly from a furnace, the tubes respectively connecting lower vertical distributing headers 3, 4 to upper vertical collecting headers 5, 6 which lead separately into a transverse header 10. The header 10 is connected by pipes 14 to a steam and water drum 15 from the ends of which extend downcomers 9. The headers 3, 4 are respectively connected to transverse manifolds 7, 8 which extend between the downcomers to the lower ends of which are connected longitudinal distribution manifolds 12 for tubes 13 lining the side walls of the furnace and gas flue. The ends of the header 10 are connected by side wall tube collector headers 16 to the drum 15 and by downpipes 18 to the manifolds 12 so that water entering and separating out in the header 10 immediately discharges into the drum and the downpipes and back-flow in the less heated tube group 2 is prevented. This effect is also avoided by connecting the headers 6 into the header 10 at a higher level than the headers 5 and by forming the group 2 with a larger number of tubes than that of group 1. A superheater 17 is disposed between the tube groups. In a modification, Fig. 3, the tube groups 1, 2 are accommodated in a gas down pass 19 leading from a. tube-lined furnace 13, the groups forming the convection section of the boiler.

Title: Improved process for the production of combustible gas
IPC: C10K3/00
Filed: 1929-03-18
Abstract: 335,228. Bertelsmann, W., and Becker, A. C. March 18,1929. Gaseous mixtures.-Combustible gas free from carbon monoxide is obtained from coal gas by first removing the carbon monoxide and then restoring the gas to its original condition as regards specific gravity, heating value and speed of ignition. The carbon monoxide may be removed in part by liquefaction under compression or by passage with steam over iron oxide, chromium oxide, porous carbon or other catalyst, the remaining monoxide then being converted into methane by passage of the gas preferably at increased pressure over nickel. An addition of hydrogen is necessary to restore the content of hydrogen to that of the original gas; this may be obtained from the steam treatment above or from water gas and a quantity of smoke gas comprising a mixture of carbon dioxide, and nitrogen is also required to adjust the specific gravity, any excess carbon dioxide being removed by washing. In an example, a gas of specified composition is mixed with 0.047 cubic metres of water gas per cubic metre and the mixture is treated with 0.121 cubic metres of steam and then passed over nickel. 0.08 cubic metres of smoke gas are then added and 0.104 cubic metres of carbon dioxide washed out, leaving a gas consisting of hydrogen 50 per cent, methane 24.8 per cent, hydrocarbons 2 per cent, carbon dioxide 6.7 per cent, nitrogen 16.5 per cent. A smelling substance such as mercaptan may be added. The gas works may work in conjunction with electricity works, excess current from which is used to decompose water, the hydrogen and oxygen being supplied at the gas works for mixing with the gas and generating water gas respectively.

Filed: 1947-04-01
Abstract: 636,208. Radio-navigation. HAZELTINE CORPORATION. April 1, 1947, No. 8831. Convention date, May 4, 1946. [Class 40 (vii)] In an equi-signal beacon a pulse-modulated carrier frequency is coupled to two aerials having, overlapping radiation patterns by transmission lines of different electrical length so that the modulation components of the two beams are time displaced. The invention is described as applied to an aircraft landing system in which the aircraft carries a pulse interrogator -responsor, Fig. 1c (not shown), a radiated pulse from which is received at the beacon, Fig. 1b (not shown), and the demodulated pulse signal is applied through a delay means to modulate a transmitter, the output from which is applied in parallel through two transmission lines or wave-guides of unequal electrical length to two directional aerials having radiation patterns overlapping in azimuth so that the pulses radiated respectively by the two aerials are separated in time. In order to compensate for the increased attenuation of the longer line, an attenuator is inserted in the shorter line or alternatively the two lines may have differing attenuations so that the outputs from the two aerials are of equal amplitude. The pulses G radiated by the beacon are received by the aircraft responsor and displayed together with the interrogating pulse F on a type A cathode-ray tube display synchronized by the interrogator so that the lateral deviation of the aircraft from the approach path and its distance from the beacon are indicated respectively by the relative amplitude and position on the trace of the pulses G. In a modification, the time separation of the pulses radiated by the beacon is less than the pulse duration so that a resultant stepped pulse is produced at the responsor, the deviation from the approach line being indicated by the relative amplitude of the leading and trailing steps C and D, Fig. 4b.
