Abstract: 10,316. Jones, A. S., and Mehew, H. J. April 27. Giffard injectors; nozzles.-In an injector for feeding boilers, the steam jet first induces a current of air, and the mixed steam and air then induce water. Steam from a pipe a passes to an annular chamber b and issues from a series of nozzles c projecting into tubes d. By this means air is withdrawn from the chamber f through the openings e. Water is supplied to the chamber k through which the tubes d pass and project into tubes leading from the chamber. The combined blast from the tubes d draws water from the chamber k into the tubes j, whence it is driven against the opposing surface of the chamber g and atomized. The mixture of air and atomized water then passes through the converging tubes h into the chamber f, where the atomized water coalesces into one stream and passes through the delivery cone r. For higher pressures, steam is admitted to a supplementary chamber p through a bypass n and issues through jets q into the tubes h to increase the velocity of the mixture passing therethrough.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Starting Devices for Electric Motors, particularly adapted for use with Multiphase Motors.
IPC: H02P1/26
Filed: 1910-05-05
Granted: 1911-05-05
Abstract: 11,186. Adams Manufacturing Co., [Cutler Hammer Manufacturing Co.]. May 5. Controllers, actuating - mechanism for. - Polyphase motors are controlled by a rotary switch of the ratchetdriven type, the pawl being actuated by a solenoid 20 the circuit of which is broken periodically by a switch actuated by the core. The invention consists in providing in shunt to the coil 20, a relay switch 55, the contacts of which are arranged in circuits controlled by a segment 13 on an extension of the resistance drum 12. The . motor is started by closing a hand switch 41, current passing from the middle main 28 of the three-phase supply through the solenoid 55 and lead 42 to the main 27. The core thereupon pulls up, connecting the contacts 57, 58, and completing a circuit from the middle main through a lead 25, the actuating-solenoid 20, and wire 24 to a contact 15, the segment 13, and contacts 16, 57, 58 to the main 27. Simultaneously, current passes from the switch 41 through a solenoid 39 to a contact 17, the segment 13, and the contact 16 as before. The solenoid 39 thereupon also pulls up its core, connecting the stator windings across the mains. The ensuing step-by-step actuation of the controller in completing the rotor circuit with all resistance in series causes the segments 13 to leave the contact 17, the current through the solenoid 39 returning to the main 27 through a resistance 43. The current in the solenoid 39 is thus reduced to a hold-on value, and, should the actuating circuit be broken, the drum must be rotated to bridge the segments 16, 17 before the core can be again lifted. In the full on ' position of the drum. the segment 13 leaves the contact 16, de-energizing the solenoid 20 until the switch 41 is opened to break the circuit of the solenoids 55, 39. The core of the solenoid 55 then drops and connects the contacts 59, 60, and the core of the solenoid 39 breaks the stator circuit at the contacts 46, 50, By the fall of the core of the solenoid 55, a circuit is made from the main 28 to the main 27 through the solenoid 20 and the pairs of contacts 14, 15, and 59, 60. The solenoid 20 thereupon rotates the drum into the initial position for a repetition of the switch-actuating cycle, in which position the circuit of the solenoid 20 is finally broken by the segment 13 leaving the contact 14.
