Title: Improvements in Vapour Burning Lamps.
IPC: F23D11/44

Granted: 1912-08-06
Abstract: 17,684. Still & Sons, W. M., Adamson, A. G., and Kitson, A. J. D. Aug. 3. Vaporizing-apparatus.-In a vapour lamp, the oil is vaporized between walls, which may be constituted by concentric tubes a, b, extended sufficiently to ensure that vapour, as distinguished from oil, comes in contact with both walls, and one of which is heated by the burner flame or the combustion products, while the other is maintained at a lower temperature by the exposure of its surface to the atmosphere, so that the less volatile constituents of the oil will deposit thereon and thus prevent clogging of the nipple. The tube b is open at its outer, and closed at its inner, end, and by means of the joint c is separable from the tube a for cleaning purposes. The vapour is superheated in passing through the downwardly-projecting tube e of small bore and the upwardly-projecting tube f of smaller bore which leads to the nipple. A separable gauze filter g is provided to cause the condensation of any of the less volatile constituents of the vapour not deposited on the tube b. According to the Provisional Specification, a filtering-device may be employed composed of layers of gauze, the mesh of the layers decreasing towards the outlet to the nipple, and the vaporizer may be provided with laterally-extending baffles of heat-conducting metal, which may be semi-annular and perforated, and a baffle is arranged above the nipple and its feed-tube to maintain these at a high temperature.

Abstract: 25,869. Francis, G. G. Nov. 20. Gauge glasses; levels, regulating. - In apparatus for controlling the supply of liquid to triple-effect and other evaporators consisting of a double-beat valve actuated by a float in a chamber connected to the top and bottom of the evaporator, the float-chamber is separate from the valvechamber. The valve A regulating the supply of liquid to the evaporators, or its passage from one evaporator to another, is connected to the float J in the chamber H by a rod K passing through a closefitting bush L. The chamber H is connected to the top and bottom of the evaporator by the pipes U, T. The upper end of the rod K passes into a transparent chamber Q on the top of the chamber H, so that the level of the liquid can be observed. Tappets R acting on the ends of the rod K allow of the valve being tested for sticking. Only one tappet may be used, and it is then caused to engage the rod K by means of a hook when desired.

Abstract: 28,142. Senkoff, A. Dec. 14. Cam - actuated pumps. - In a lubricator in which there is a very slow feed by means of a positively-actuated piston, the piston is returned on the suction stroke by a spring. The part 1 is operated from some moving part of the machine and, by means of the ratchet-wheel 3 and worm gear 6, Fig. 1, operates the piston. This piston is formed in two parts 5, 7, which are in contact along helical surfaces, so that when the part 5 is slowly rotated, the part 7 moves downwards, being prevented from rotating by the screw 8. When the vertical portions of the helical projections coincide, the piston is retracted by the spring 10 which is mounted on the rod 9 projecting from the part 7. The suction and delivery passages are shown at 12 and 16 respectively.

Title: Improvements relating to Electric Switches.
IPC: H01H21/20
Filed: 1912-01-20
Granted: 1913-01-20
Abstract: 1680. British Thomson-Houston Co., and Garton, E. Jan. 20. Systems depending on the use of static transformers. - An arrangement for connecting the secondary s of a transformer to a work circuit, for example to the compounding coil r of an automatic regulator, consists of main and auxiliary switches a, f, Fig. 3, the latter normally short-circuiting the secondary s. When the main switch is closed, but before it is fully home, it operates the spring switch f to open the short-circuit. Upon disconnecting the work circuit, the short-circuiting switch f again closes before the main switch is fully opened, thereby avoiding open - circuiting the transformer secondary s. When a single regulator is used to control generators working in parallel, a throw-over switch with duplicated auxiliary switches acting as above may be used for connecting the compounding transformer for either generator to the regulator and short-circuiting the other.

Granted: 1913-11-20
Abstract: 27,463. Shaw, F., and Dutton, J. Nov. 29. Pile, raising.-Consists in a cross brushing machine for velvets &c. in which the fabric is traversed around a revolving drum and is subjected to a reciprocating brushing action by relative movement of the fabric and a series of brushes surrounding the drum. Fig. 1 shows two drums A arranged one above the other, whereby two separate lengths of fabric may be treated, or the fabric runs from one to the other. The drums are connected by a belt on pulleys a<2>, and are driven from a shaft a<4> by step pulleys a<5>, a<6>. They are reciprocated by connexions a<11> to a lever a<7> driven from a cranked shaft a<16> which is in turn driven from the shaft a<4>. The drums are slidably mounted on square shafts and have roughened surfaces, resembling card clothing, to cause the fabric to follow their movements. The surrounding brushes are detachably mounted in pockets of end frames b, the brush backs being rabbeted to enable the brushes to be adjusted for wear, but to prevent the brush backs from contacting with the fabric. The brushes are adjustably pressed on to the fabric by levers b<5>, one arm of which is attached to a torsion spring connected to an adjustable collar. The bristles B are inserted in spaced rows, the bristles of adjacent brushes being staggered, and apertures b<11> are provided between the bristles for the escape of lint and flock. When the fabric is led to the upper drum from the lower one, the upper one is rotated slightly faster to maintain a tension on the fabric, and the opposite reciprocations of the drums opens the pile.
