Title: Improvements in Radiators for Motor Cars
Inventor: EWART GEORGE HERBERT
Filed: 1907-05-25
Granted: 1908-05-21
Abstract: 12,102. Ewart, G. H. May 25. Gas and like engines.- A motor car radiator consists of one or more tubes coiled into a flat-spiral or like shape, connected to chambers for the heated and cooled water respectively. Groups of two or more spirals may be used, each spiral being formed in two or more parts with the same inlet and outlet. In the construction shown in Fig. 2, groups e of two spirals each are mounted between water chambers a, c with a fan l between them, but the fan may be placed in front of or behind the coils. Fig. 3 shows one of the spirals, having two concentric coils g, h, with an inlet i and an outlet j; the spirals are separated by supporting strips k or wires, acting as baffles, and are arranged so that the tubes of one spiral lie between those of the next. The inlets and outlets are screwed to the water chambers, those of adjacent spirals being on opposite sides to facilitate removal. The water chambers are preferably connected by a fine tube, which quickens filling, especially when a pump is used to circulate the water. The coils may project or recede beyond the front of the radiator frame and may be of oval, square, or other shape. The radiator possesses few joints, and the coils yield under stresses due to vibration.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Means for Weighing or Measuring Predetermined Quantities of Liquid.
Inventor: GILLILAND WILLIAM JOHN
IPC: G01G13/00
Filed: 1908-03-27
Granted: 1909-06-28
Abstract: 83. Gilliland, W. J., and Plant, J. E. March 27, 1908. Automatic-feed weighers.-In apparatus for obtaining predetermined quantities of liquids or the like by weight, a valve in the supply pipe is opened by hand and held by a detent, and is released by the action of an electro-magnet, the circuit of which is made when the required weight has passed. A tank s, Fig. 1, mounted on the platform of a weighing-machine, receives liquid from the pipe j, a valve k in which is held by the detent t<2>. When the arm t<1> of tho machine rises, the circuit of an electro-magnet r<3> is closed. through contacts s<5>, s<8> and the detent t<2> is drawn back, and releases the valve k. Modifications are described for filling sacks with grain, and barrels. In the latter case, a supplementary lever arm is provided, on which slides a weight for balancing the barrel, and the supply pipe may also be counterbalanced. When large quantities are required, the arrangement shown in Fig. 3, in which two tanks are mounted on weighing-machines, is employed. The valved pipe j discharges into a bifurcated shoot v<2>, in which a deflecting-plate v<1> is arranged to be thrown over when either of the electro-magnets r<4> is energized. When unit weight has been fed into one tank, the corresponding arm t' rises and closes a circuit to energize one of the magnets r<4>. The plate v<1> is thus thrown over, and the armature v<3> closes the circuit of one of the magnets v to open the outlet valve s<10> of the filled tank, and' breaks the circuit of the other magnet v to allow the valve s<10> of the other tank to close. The armature v<3> carries a lever v<5> actuating a counter v<6>, and when the pointer s<3> indicates the required amount, it makes contact with. an arm s', previously set, and energizes the magnet r<3>, which draws back the detent t<2> and allows the valve k to close. A spring balance may be used, in which the dial and pointer are modified to make circuit to release the supply valve,at the required weight.

Abstract: 3593. Ross, A. Feb. 13. Feed-water, heating.-Relates to apparatus of the kind in which conduits extending to different depths within a boiler are connected at their upper ends to a chamber through which the water circulates by convection, and consists mainly in introducing the feed-water into either of the conduits or into a casing which is connected to the chamber as a jet to assist the circulation. In the form of apparatus shown in Fig. 1, the chamber A communicates with the water space of the boiler by the conduits B, C, and with a casing or drum E by a neck F which contains a float valve. A hot or cold jet of feed-water is admitted by a pump or injector G to the casing E provided with baffles. A second injector G', instead of or in addition to the injector G, may deliver the feed to either of the conduits. The valve in the neck F is normally open, but should the chamber A empty itself, the valve will close and the chamber become filled again by syphonic action. In a modification, the chamber A is omitted, and the conduits are connected directly with the casing E. In a further modification, the chamber A is in the form of a coil into which the upper ends of the conduits B, C are formed. The casing E may be omitted, or may be connected to the highest point of the coil.

Granted: 1909-07-29
Abstract: 8456. Allgemeine Elektricitõts-Ges. April 8, 1908, [Convention date]. [Addition to 17,622/08.] Electric equipment.-Relates to motor-controlling mechanism of the kind described in the parent Specification, for electrically-operated cranes and lifts, in which two switches are provided in parallel in the motor-control circuit, one of which is opened when the crane or lift reaches a section of travel on which the speed is to be limited, while the other is automatically opened so as to open the main switch when the speed is excessive on the aforesaid section. The invention consists in placing the first of these switches 14 in circuit with the tractive coil of the other switch 12, and keeping it normally open. To start the motor 3, the switch 10 is momentarily closed to short-circuit the resistance 13, the current then being strong enough to energize the coil 7 and close the main switch 4. When the crane or lift approaches the limit section, the switch 14 is mechanically closed and the coil 16 suddenly energized, so that the switch 12 is opened or not according to the speed at entering the section. The switch 12 may be arranged to break the control circuit as shown, or may be arranged to complete the motor circuit direct, or to insert a resistance in parallel with the main switch so as to reduce the speed. At the end of the wind the switch 11 is mechanically opened to prevent overwinding.
