Patent GB-190121692-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Vapor Generators for incandescent Lighting.
Inventor: FITZPATRICK HUGH DONALD
IPC: F23D11/44
Filed: 1901-10-29
Granted: 1902-02-13
Abstract: 21,692. Fitzpatrick, H. D., [Macpherson, F. H.]. Oct. 29. Lighting buildings &c., systems of. - Incandescent vapour burners are supplied through fixed pipes and fittings P with hydrocarbon vapour or oil gas, which is generated at one point only, and mixed in the contracted pipe P' with air supplied through the pipes Q. After the reservoir A has been filled with oil E through the cap C to the level shown in Fig. 1, and air has been pumped through the nozzle F into the space D, the vaporizer G is heated up by a starting burner K, Fig. 2, which is supplied through the pipe L, and under the control of the valve M, with carburetted air from the spaceD. As soon as the oil supplied through the pipe I and the absorbent wick or material g has been vaporized and ignited, the supply of combustible to the starting burner K is cut off, the valve q of the nozzle o is opened, and the vapour passes to the mixing tube P'. The flame of the vaporizer G is maintained by air and vapour conveyed from the pipe P by the pipe S, the supply being automatically controlled by a disc valve U, which is actuated by means of a hollow spring V communicating with the air space D. Fluctuations in the pressure are prevented by connecting the vaporizer by a pipe H with the space D, which space also serves as a condenser for the vapour if the pressure becomes too high. The vapour is practically converted into a fixed gas in the chamber d', and any over-supply of vapour escapes through the air-supply pipes Q to the exterior of the building.

The ram carries a spindle B, which can be rotated by bevel gearing from the pulley D, or may be locked against rotation and carry a slotting or shaping head, which may be reciprocated in a vertical, horizontal, or inclined direction. During reciprocation, the spindle may be turned by a worm feed R, S, T, to produce 'curved work, the worm being disengaged when the spindle is rotated. When rotated, the spindle may carry a drill, a milling-cutter, a boring and facing head, or, when in the horizontal position, a lathe faceplate or chuck. The spindle may be fed by rack-andpinion gearing M operated by worm gearing N from a hand-wheel J, the worm gearing being mounted in a pivoted frame so that it may be disconnected when the ram reciprocates. The work is mounted on a compound slide w<1> on a knee bracket w, vertically adjustable on the standard Y<1>. The slides may be automatically traversed by screws driven by chain gearing from the pulley shaft. A lathe poppet may be fixed on the knee bracket, and a pillar slide-rest secured to the slide w<1>. Fig. 3 shows a modification for use on board ship where head-room is limited. The ram is reciprocated only in a horizontal position by a slotted link d, pivoted to a bracket P, and engaged by a crank c, driven by gearing e from the belt pulley D. The spindle is rotated by bevel-wheels f<2> as before, and in addition by bevel-wheels f and a shaft with a pinion p engaging an internallytoothed ring on the faceplate t, to allow heavy work to be accomplished. A leading-screw is driven by gearing f<1>, h, h<1>, k, and a traversing feed is obtained by gearing o, o<1>, l<1>, l<2>, l<3>, h<2>. The bracket w and leading-screw may be provided with extensions to accommodate longer work between the centres.

Title: Apparatus for Dividing Wheels and for Milling or Cutting the Teeth.
Inventor: NUBE CURD
Filed: 1903-06-09
Granted: 1904-07-09
Abstract: 12,977. Nube, C. June 9. Dividing-apparatus.-A dividing-apparatus for attachment to a milling-machine for cutting spurwheels is arranged to space the work automatically and to stop when the wheel is finished. The blank 3 is carried by a spindle 1, mounted in a reciprocating headstock 2, and connected by worm gearing 7 and change-gearing 8 with a shaft 12, which makes one revolution for each spacing of the blank. The free member of a ratchet clutch on the shaft 12 is formed as a pinion engaging a segment 15, which is held up against a spring 16 by a lever 18 engaging a projection on the clatch member 14 feathered on the shaft 12. After a tooth has been cut, the feed-mechanism of the headstock is disengaged, and the headstock returned, a lever 19 on it engaging a pin on the bed of the machine and tripping the lever 18. The segment is thus released and the shaft 12 makes one revolution to space the blank, a cam 20 on the shaft operating a lever 22 to re-engage the feed-mechanism of the headstock. During the cutting stroke, the segment is reset by an arm 24 on the spindle of the segment connected to the machine bed. When the last tooth but one has been cut, a projecting arm 27 on a pawl 28 enters a recess in a ring 25 on the work spindle and allows the pawl to drop to hold the lever 19 during the next stroke, thus ceasing to trip the lever 18, and stopping the spacing of the blank.
