Title: Automatic Mechanism for Regulating and Controlling Combustion in Furnaces.
Inventor: BROWN FRANCIS HARVEY
Filed: 1908-12-01
Granted: 1909-07-22
Abstract: 25,902. Brown, F. H. Dec. 1. Air supply, regulating.- In a furnace in which air is supplied under r forced draught for primary and secondary combustion, the volume of the supply for primary combustion, and the volume and temperature of that t for secondary combustion, are regulated according to the pressure of steam in the boiler or the varying conditions of temperature and pressure within the furnace chamber and conduits communicating therewith. In the arrangement shown in Figs. 1 and 2, a fan 6, the speed of which is controlled according to the pressure of steam in the boiler, supplies air for primary and secondary combustion through the conduits 7 and 14 respectively. The latter conduit passes through the combustion chamber 3, and delivers into a conduit 19 arranged concentrically within a flue 17, through which a portion of the furnace gases passes to the stack 11. The draught through the flue is induced by a fan 45 and is regulated by dampers 21, 44, and both fan and dampers are controlled by a thermostat 28 in the air conduit 19. Superheated steam may be supplied along with the air for second ary combustion through a pipe 40, and the supply is regulated according to the pressure of steam in the boiler. The main flue damper 10 is controlled by a device 13 which is operated according to the pressure of the gases in the combustion chamber. Additional heat may be imparted to the gases passing through the flue 17 and. to the air for secondary combustion, for example by a Bunsen burner 37 and an electric heater 38. In a modified arrangement, the air is delivered into the furnace chamber through perforated pipes near the furnace front and over the fire-bridge. In the arrangement shown in in Fig. 4, air is supplied through the conduit 70 to the ash-pit, and through pipes 73 in the combustion chamber to channels 76, which deliver through apertures 78 into the furnace chamber. The flow of air through the channels 76 is induced by steam jets, the supply to which is regulated at the valve 85 according to the pressure of the furnace gases, and at the valve 86 by thermostats 88 in the air channels. The supply of air to the pipes 73 and the exit of the furnace gases are regulated by dampers controlled by pressure-operated devices 83, preferably of the kind described in Specification No. 7076, A.D. 1908, and connected with the channels 76.

Title: Improvements relating to the Raising of Liquids from Bore-holes by Means of Air-lift Apparatus.
Filed: 1908-12-14
Granted: 1909-08-05
Abstract: 27,159. Isler &. Co., C., and Broadhurst, H. F. Dec. 14. Raising liquids by aerating ascending column.- Comprises means for starting air-lift apparatus for raising liquids from bore-holes in which the surface level is normally much higher than that assumed during the operation of raising, without initially using air at a higher pressure than that ultimately required. For this purpose the top end of the bore-hole is closed by a cover a having a pipe d for admitting and exhausting air. When starting the apparatus, compressed air is admitted above the liquid so as to force it back into the strata from which it came. As soon as the level has fallen sufficiently, the exhaust valve e is opened, and compressed air is simultaneously admitted to the pipe b, in which a smaller air-pressure will now suffice to depress the liquid to the level of the air ports leading into the rising main c.

Title: Improvements in Self-recording Rain Gauges.
Inventor: HALLIWELL FRANK LEES
Filed: 1908-12-15
Granted: 1909-07-29
Abstract: 27,174. Halliwell, F. L. Dec. 15. Rain ganges.-In a self-recording rain gauge, the recording-pen f is shifted automatically to its initial position when the depth of the water in the measuring-vessel c increases by a predetermined amount, for instance every halfinch; this result is obtained by having on the rod k connected to the float j. a number of laterally-projecting pins l. As the float rises, each pin engages a short laterally extending plate i and lifts the lever g a certain distance; it then slips past the end of the plate and allows the lever to fall and be caught by the next pin. In order to empty the vessel c when required, a siphon n is used, and is started by depressing the float j by pushing the rod k downwards. In the Provisional Specification it is stated that the siphon may be started by having a piston working in that side of the siphon which dips into the water.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Starting Devices for Alternating Current Induction-motors.
Inventor: KALLMANN MARTIN
IPC: H02P1/26
Filed: 1909-03-23
Granted: 1909-09-16
Abstract: 6957. Kallmann, M. March 27, 1908, [Convention date]. Alternating - current induction machines. - In induction motors, the rotor circuit is closed on itself through resistances V, Fig. 6, having a high positive temperature-coefficient, for instance, iron wire or bands, as described in Specification 16,292/05, [Class 38, Electricity, Regulating &c.], and, if necessary, also through ordinary resistances w, Fig. 4, having a small temperature - coefficient, for instance, nickeline, and the motor is started or stopped only by closing or opening the stator circuit, while the variation resistances are disconnected towards the end of the starting period automatically or by hand. The star or triangle connexions of the resistances may be used, aud the resistances w may be cut out by a switch e, Fig. 4, separate from the switch b, which cuts out the resistances V. In braking the motor by reversing, the stator connexions resistances are connected in the stator leads I, II, III, or the resistances V in the rotor circuit may be changed from the triangle to the star connexion, or protecting-resistances w of nickeline or other material having a small temperature-cofficient may be connected in series with the resistances V when the braking takes place. The resistances x may be of the same material as the resistances w or the resistances V. In place of the resistances w, resistances similar to the resistances V may be used, or several resistances V may be connected in parallel. The resistances V and also the additional resistances w may be shortcircuited in one or more steps by a centrifugal device or by electromagnetic devices preferably connected to the stator circuit as shown in Fig. 8. The electromagnetic relay Z is connected to an air, fluid, or other damping-device G or to a clockwork regulator. The relay Z completes the circuit of the relay E, which operates the switch Q to short-circuit the resistances V. When the switch Q is operated, the switch B closes and completes the circuit of the relay E across the stator, thereby cutting out the relay Z.

Title: An Improved Safety Attachment for Stirrups.
Inventor: MATUSZEWSKI BOLESLAS
IPC: B68C3/02
Filed: 1909-04-01
Granted: 1909-06-24
Abstract: 7832. Matuszewski, B. April 1. Stirrups.-Safety stirrups have the loop that receives the stirrup - leather made detachable from the bow of the stirrup. The bow a is formed with a connecting-piece b having two lugs c, d, between which is received a lug g on the loop f. The two parts are retained together by two balls &c. e, which are kept in place by side plates i, shaped as shown in Fig. 3, and pivotable to a limited extent about a pin k. The loop f is normally retained in shallow slots s in the lugs c, d, and it also fits in slots n in the plates i which are held in position by projections t on the loop f. When the rider is thrown and angular movement of the loop with respect to the bow takes place, the plates i are displaced, and the balls e are no longer held in contact with the cavities in the middle lug because the recesses in the plates i take up the position shown in Fig. 3, so that the stirrup is disengaged from the loop. The recesses may be at different distances from the centre line of the plate i, so that the stirrup can give to an extent on one side without detachment taking place. One ball and side plate may be dispensed with, and, in place of balls, other bodies may be used, such as cylinders or parallelsided bodies with one or both ends hemispherical, conical, semicircular, chamfered, or bevelled.
