Granted: 1900-02-17
Abstract: 24,148. L³hne, J. Dec. 4. Electric furnaces.-An arc furnace for making glass or the like is constructed as shown. The materials are fed by an elevator into an elongated hopper A, having undulating sides of a refractory substance surrounded by a non-conductor in a casing, and containing a regulating-cover d. The materials pass through two horizontal rows of arcs, formed between edges of a single square negative electrode 1 and two rows of positive rods 2, 3, situated.in ridged conical openings, from which ashes fall externally. The electrodes are perforated to admit air or hydrogen. The fused product collects in a channel below the arcs, and flows through a lower channel B into a tank C, over a wall 7, and through openings 8 into an outer compartment F, where it is accessible through an opening i. The channel B consists partly of refractory material kept incandescent by passage of electric current. The tanks and channel B are built with surrounding flues 22 and heating-resistances M in a casing, which may be placed on wheels as shown, so that two may be placed alternately below the arc furnace ; or two fixed tanks may be supplied alternately by a valve pivoted below the furnace to direct the glass into either of two channels. Protoxide of nitrogen, or gases for combustion, may be introduced through a central opening 10, and pass through openings with valves 19, and to the flues 22, 23.

Title: Improvements in or connected with Indexes of Meters for Gaseous Fluids.
Inventor: THORP THOMAS
Filed: 1903-01-22
Granted: 1903-11-26
Abstract: 1541. Thorp, T. Jan. 22. Meters.-In gas meters, particularly those constructed on the turbine or rotary principle, variable-speed mechanism is interposed between the shaft driving the registering-mechanism and the shaft operated by the measuring-wheel or mechanism. The object of this mechanism is to compensate for the varying pressure of the gas, and indicate the volume as it would be if the pressure of the gas were that of the atmosphere. One method of effecting this is shown in Fig. 1, where the spindle 3, driven by the measuring- mechanism, drives a friction disc 4 through bevelwheels on a worm and worm-wheel. The disc 4 is pressed against another disc 10 by a spring 20. The disc 10 is mounted on a sliding shaft 14, and its position is controlled by the position of the flexible boxes 11. The interior of these boxes is connected with the measuring-chamber, so that, if the pressure of the gas increases, they expand, forcing the disc 10 further from the centre of the disc 4, thus making it register faster, and compensating for the diminution in volume of the gas owing to the increased pressure. The registering- mechanism is driven from the disc 10, through the shaft 2, and pinions 1, 15. The mechanism may be varied in several ways ; the disc 4 may be fixed directly on the spindle 3, the disc 10 then moving on a horizontal axis; the pressure of the gas may act on the outside of the flexible boxes 11, their insides being in communication with the atmosphere.
