Title: Improvements in or relating to Explosion Chambers for Gas Engines or the like.
Inventor: PARZELLER HEINRICH
Filed: 1908-11-03
Granted: 1909-05-06
Abstract: 23,493. Parzeller, H. Nov. 4, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Furnace-gas engines; turbines. - Relates to an explosion chamber for supplying a continuous current of gases to a turbine or other engine. Compressed air from a pipe 1 together with gas from a cock 4 depresses a piston valve 6 and passes into a chamber 10. When a certain pressure is attained in this chamber, a weight 13 closes the inlet valve 6, and ignition is effected. A portion of the exploded gases passes through a check valve 11 into a storage tank 12, and valves 33, 36, positively connected to the valve 6, control the outlets from the chambers 10, 12, which alternately supply the nozzle 31 of the engine. Stops 34, 35 on the spindle 32 of the valve 33 allow this valve a certain lost motion so that it is not closed until the valve 6 has been opened completely. This enables the gas current from the tank 12 and valve 36 to carry with it into the injector-like part 31 the combustion-residue still remaining in the explosion chamber. A flap valve 39 prevents any return of gas to the chamber 10. The Specification in the original form, as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a), comprises also the provision of baffling- devices and five perforations in the admission pipe 23 for reducing shock to the engine, and an ignition device in which the circuit is completed by the closure of the valve 6. This subject-matter does not appear in the Complete Specification as accepted.

Granted: 1911-04-13
Abstract: 28,471. Urban, A., and Hamburger, F. Dec. 7. Lighting burners by frictional. devices. - In pyrophoric devices for lighting gas-burners, the movements of the cock-operating lever 6 are transmitted to a disk 1, journaled upon the burner and provided with an abrading-surface, by means of chains, cords, links, tcothed or frictional gear, or springs. The abrading-surface of the disk contacts with a block 3 of pyrophoric material, and thus produces sparks which ignite the gas at a pilot tube 4. In the form shown in Fig. 1, a cord 7 connected to the lever 6 passes over a pulley 8 on the shaft of the disk 1. According to a modification, two links are pivoted to the disk and the lever on opposite sides of their centres. In the form shown in .Fig. 3, a spring 11 turns the disk 1 until a pin 17 on the disk contacts with a stop-spring 16, and then stretches until a slotted link 13 releases the disk from the spring 16. The disk then rotates rapidly to produce sparks. The link 13 may be dispensed with if the spring 11 is adjusted to release the disk before the cock is turned full on. According to a further modification, the.abrading-teeth are fcrmed on only a part of the disk, and, when the first tooth contacts with the block 3, it holds the disk against the tension of the spring 11 until the link 13 releases it. When there is no yielding connexion between the lever 6 and the disk 1, the initial movement of the cock may be resisted, and the final movement accelerated by means of a stop spring or a tilting weight, in order to ensure a sufficient supply of gas to the tube 4 before sparks are produced.
