Filed: 1920-08-14
Abstract: 171,191. Stone & Co., Ltd., J., Walton, M., and Vidal, J. F. B. Aug. 14, 1920. Air, treating; forced ventilation.-A humidifier fan comprises an assemblage of spray distributing discs of the type described in Specification 112,987, [Class 55 (ii), Gas manufacture &c.], a shield device rotating with the fan and conveying excess liquid into an annular gutter secured around the shield and one or more rising pipes up which the liquid, which may be water, disinfectant &c., is forced by centrifugal pressure into a reservoir feeding the distributor. The motor a and fan casing are carried by a fitting e for attachment to a ceiling &c. and may be in. clined in any direction about the trunnions b, d. The fan may be suspended from the motor by a spindle f or supported as shown on bearings 19 in a casing 17, which is formed at the centre of spokes 16 extending to a detachable part 11 of the casing. The motor imparts movement to the fan h, discs g, shield o, channel 1 and gutter 2. The discs g are mounted on a cylindrical casting j which has longitudinal grooves p opening into a cup q into which liquid is fed from an annular chamber v. Each disc has an upstanding lip round its inner periphery serving as a spacer, and a notch therein registers with a groove in the casting j, there being as many grooves as there are discs. In this way liquid is fed uniformly to the discs. A small aperture may be provided in each disc for draining off liquid when the fan comes to rest into a channel 25 and thence through a pipe 27 into the channel 1. A spider l carrying the shield o is secured to the upper end of the casting j. A sleeve may be secured between the bottom disc and the nut m to allow of access on removal to the grooves p in order to dislodge dust. The channel 1 is supported by a peripheral ring y connected with the hub x of the fan, and liquid caught by the shield o enters through holes 3. The liquid is driven into the gutter 2 and into a lateral extension of a rising pipe 4 which conveys it to a reservoir. When the cock 33 is opened, liquid descends the pipe 4 charging the gutter and channel until sufficient upward pressure is developed, when the liquid is forced from the gutter 2 up the pipe 34 delivering to the distributor. The lower part of the fan casing may' be formed of two detachable parts 10, 11, which may be removed with the fan without disturbing the discs, the fan spindle 19 being keyed to the spindle f by a pin 23 which slides down a groove 22.

Title: Improvements in or relating to coin selecting devices
Filed: 1930-08-11
Abstract: 367,323. Coin-freed apparatus. SANITARY POSTAGE SERVICE CORPORATION, 245, 5th Avenue, New York, U.S.A. Aug. 11, 1930, No. 23998. Convention date, April 30. Void [Published under Sect. 91 of the Acts]. [Class 27.] Testing coins.-Relates to apparatus of the kind wherein coins falling down a shoot pass between the poles 22 of a permanent magnet 21, the magnetic field inducing eddy currents in the coins and retarding their passage in accordance with their electrical conductivities. A silver coin after passing through the magnetic field falls down a shoot 9 leading to coin-freed apparatus whereas a copper coin, having a shorter trajectory, is deflected laterally from the shoot 8 by a deflector 24 into a return shoot 25. A similar deflector 27, positioned beyond the path of silver coins, diverts coins having a longer trajectory. The coins are led to the shoot 8 by shoots 6, 7, a stop 31 ensuring that all coins roll down the shoot 8 with the same velocity. A magnet 15 diverts magnetic slugs from the shoot 6 to a shoot 12 and a spring 16 presses the coins against the wall of the shoot 6 so that coins having small momentum fall through a gap 10 to the shoot 12. Light coins are also diverted into the gap 10 by a lever 17. Coins when inserted in the slot 5 strike a stop 30 and fall to the bottom of the shoot 6, thus preventing them being given an initial velocity.

Abstract: 1,079,466. Transistor pulse gating circuits; circuits employing bi-stable magnetic elements. PHILIPS ELECTRONIC & ASSOCIATED INDUSTRIES Ltd. June 8, 1965 [June 11, 1964], No. 24197/65. Headings H3B and H3T. A circuit for passing pulses from 30 to a selected one of a number of outputs such as loads 23-25 comprises square loop cores 1-3 each in the emitter circuit of a transistor monostable blocking oscillator 4-6. As described, assuming only core 1 is in its P state, each negative pulse from 30, delayed at 13, will switch only core 1 to its N state. The induced voltage in winding 10 will trigger the blocking oscillator 4, 14 producing an output in load 23 and restoring the core to its P state. If a D.C. voltage is applied at 32 to AND gate 28 the next pulse from 30 will trigger the blocking oscillator 5, 15 producing an output in load 24 and switching core 2 to its P state. When the delayed pulse from 13 occurs, transistor 5 is conducting and the voltage across the common emitter resistor 26 will bias the remaining transistor or transistors further in the off direction so that the pulse from 13 will reset core 1 to the N state without triggering the blocking oscillator 4, 14. Succeeding pulses now appear in load 24.

Patent GB-158611-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in the control of steam generators, and the like using liquid fuel
IPC: F23D99/00
Filed: 1919-10-11
Abstract: 158,611. Scott, L. L. Oct. 11, 1919. Liquid-fuel furnaces.-Relates to the control of oil-fired steam-generators, more particularly for steam-propelled vehicles, and comprises means for starting up from cold by closing a single switch together with automatic control arrangements. As described in detail in Specification 156,889 the generator is of semi-flash type and is fired by heavy oil from a spray burner 23. Oil is supplied by a pump 15 and feed-water by a pump 5, these pumps together with the air supply fan being driven by an electric motor 34. Closure of the switch 48 starts the motor and in addition completes the primary circuit of the igniter 32, and within a very short space of time full steam pressure is available. The automatic controls are provided by pressure gauges A, B, C responsive respectively to the steam pressure, steam temperature, and fuel pressure. Taking the gauge C first, at starting the primary circuit of the igniter is closed by the gauge, but on the fuel pressure reaching a predetermined value, which occurs almost at once, the spark is cut out. The action of the gauge B is to shortcircuit the solenoid 45 on the temperature becoming excessive. This allows the by-pass 20 to open and thus stops or reduces the fuel supply. The by-pass has the further function of pressureregulation since it opens against the adjustable spring 42 when the fuel pressure becomes excessive. The steam pressure gauge A operates to break the motor circuit by means of the electromagnetic switch 50 when the pressure rises too high and retains the circuit broken until a considerable drop of pressure has resulted. This is effected as follows. The circuit of the coil of the switch 50 is normally completed through the lever 56 with a pivoted end 75, the contact 53, and the electromagnet 80. On closing the switch 48, the magnet 80 is energized, lifting the lever 56, but owing to a spring 82 without breaking contact at 53. Should, however, the steam pressure reach a predetermined maximum, the pin 74 on the end of the Bourdon tube lifts the member 75 off the contact 53, thus opening the switch 50 and stopping the motor. The pressure therefore falls, but since the lever 56 has now dropped on to its stop 78, a considerable descent of the pin 74 is necessary before the member 75 is again allowed to reach the contact 53 and reinstate the several circuits.
