Title: Improvements in Furnace Doors.
Inventor: IMRAY OLIVER
IPC: F23M7/00
Filed: 1912-04-15
Granted: 1912-08-08
Abstract: 8882. Imray, O., [Knox Pressed and Welded Steel Co.]. April 15. Doors.-Water-cooled doors are made of sheet metal in the form of a water chamber enclosing a refractory lining 8 on the front, top, bottom, and sides. The water chamber is formed of two sheets 2, 3, the corners of each being suitably cut so that the sheets may be folded and meet along their outer edges 4 to form an undercut recess for the lining 8. The meeting edges are welded together, and a peep-hole is formed by piercing the sheets and welding in a tubular piece 11, or by turning outwards the edge of the hole in the inner sheet and welding it to the outer sheet. A pivoted cover 10 is provided for the peep-hole. The cooling-water supply pipe may enter the chamber at one end of the top, and a vertical or other baffle may direct the water beneath the peep-hole to an outlet at the other end of the top. Alternatively, the supply pipe may pass down one side and along the bottom, the horizontal part having perforations through which the water is discharged. A plug 16 permitting cleaning is provided at the bottom of the door, and the end of the supply pipe may extend through the chamber wall and be plugged.

Abstract: 25,034. Walker, W. F. Nov. 3. Locking.-In a locking-device for preventing unauthorized use of motor-vehicles. a reciprocatory bolt is connected to the fuelvalve. Figs. 2 and 3 are part sectional views of the device, Fig. 4 a perspective view of the reciprocating bolt, and Fig. 5 is a section through a suitable permutation lock. The reciprocatory bolt 8 is movable up and down in a casing 1 having a front cover 2, a pin 9 projecting through the cover. 2 serving to lower the bolt, while springs 14 tend to raise it. The bolt may be connected by a rod 29 to the fuel-closing valve 30. When the bolt 8 is lowered, the fuelvalve is closed. The bolt 8 can only move upwards under the influence of the springs 14 when the rotatable notched circular plates 15 of the permutation lock are in a suitable position. Each plate is formed with a deep notch and a number of shallow notches, and the bolt 8 can only move upwards when the several deep notches are in line with its upper end. The plates 15 are operated from a handle 23 moving over a graduated dial and held in any one of a number of positions by a spring-held ball 24. A lug 6 on the lower end of the bolt 8 is adapted to engage a recess on the cover 2 so as to prevent its removal when the bolt is in its lowest position. In a modification, the bolt 8 can be moved up and down by an eccentric, mounted on a pin projecting through the casing 2 and turned from the outside by a handle.

Granted: 1915-03-18
Abstract: 1185. Davis, C. F. Lan-. July 11. Lenses.- Relates to large-aperture lenses for photographic or other purposes, corrected for spherical, chromatic, and astigmatic aberrations and of either fixed or variable focal length, in which the focal lengths of the front and back combinations are of opposite sign, the focal length of the negative being approximately equal to or greater than that of the positive. Three constructions are described. In the construction shown in Fig. 1, the front combination A is a thick achromatie positive composed of two cemented lenses of high refractive index (larger than 1À54), the indices for the D line being practically identical, but the dispersions being different, and the back combination B is an achromatic negative composed of three cemented lenses, each of the exterior lenses being of high refract ve index (larger than 1À54), and the interior lens being of low refractive index (less than 1 54). In the second construction, the front combination remains the same, while the back combination is an achromatic negative composed of two cemented lenses ,the flint having a refractive index between 1À63 and 1À60, and the crown a refractive index between 1:51 and 1À545. In the third construction, the front combination is a negative achromatic combination, and the back a positive achromatic combination ; the crowns are of high refractive index (larger than 1À54), the focal length of the positive is approximately equal to that of the negative, and the back focus of the system is greater than the focal length. In all the constructions, the separations between the front and back components may be varied in order to give variable focal length. Constructional data are given in the Specification.

Abstract: 9045. Sloper, T. April 9. Hydroplane vessels; floats for aerial machines. -Hydroplanes and hydro-aeroplane floats of flexible material are provided with internal tie members for preventing undue distortion under load. The flexible chamber A, Fig. 3, made as described in Specification 21,863/13, has beam members B, B<1>, C, C<1> coupled by ties D, D<1> which prevent the lower members from moving toward or transversely relative to the upper members.

Granted: 1915-01-07
Abstract: 16,709. Shore, W. E. July 13. Air supply, heating and regulating.-An airheating device for use in furnaces and the like for increasing combustion consists of an approximately rectangular casing, suitable for attachment to a fire-door or other part so that one side projects over the fire, and containing numerous chambers through which a supply of air regulated manually or automatically, or both, passes from an inlet chamber to a distributing-chamber. The apparatus shown in Figs. 3 and 5 is secured to the inner face of a fire-door 29, in which are apertures 30' for allowing air to enter the preheating-chamber 30. Dampers 31, 32, operated by a thermostat 43 and by hand respectively, regulate the passage of the air to chambers 10 of gradually increasing capacity, formed by horizontal partitions 6, 7, 8, 9 and vertical partitions 11. The air passes to a distributor 19, which has vertical partitions 21 recessed at their upper ends 23 and forming vertical passages leading to discharge apertures such as those indicated at 20. One of the passages or chambers 10 at one side of the heater discharges directly into the fire-box, instead of into the distributor 19. Part of the air in the distributor also passes out by an opening 25<1> and protects the lower edge of the apparatus from the heat. The damper 32 is operated by cam-and-slot mechanism 35, 36. In a modification, Fig. 7, the baffles 45, 51, 53 are transversely arranged, and conduct the air from inlets 49 to outlets 61, which lead to a distributor similar to that shown in Fig. 3.

The switch is closed as follows: An arm g on the spindle g' raises a lever i by engaging a pawl h pivoted to it, thereby stretching springs m, n, which are connected at one end to the lever and at the other to the support d and switch-arm r respectively; the arm g escapes past the pawl h which drops to a stop o, the lever i being retained in the raised position by a catch l; as the rotation continues, the arm g lifts a catch p from engagement with the nose q of the switch-arm, whereupon the spring n closes the switch. The working of the meter returns the planet-wheel and cam s, the cam finally tripping the catch l permitting the spring m to pull down the lever i, the lever in its movement striking an extension t of the switch-arm and opening the switch.
