Abstract: 22,004. Weaver, W. G., and Williams, T. C. J. Oct. 28. Scrubbers and washers.-A rotary apparatus for washing air is of the type in which the dust is drawn into a suitable casing by a fan and then moistened by liquid introduced through a hollow axle to the centre of a drum and thrown off from the periphery as a fine spray when the drum is rotated. Figs. 2 and 3 show the apparatus, with the drum C mounted in a divided casing A, which has flaps or extensions A' of sheet metal, leather, vulcanite, or other suitable material embracing the wheel tyres of the motor-vehicle to which the apparatus may be attached. The hollow drum C has side flanges C', between which are mounted fan blades D enclosed by side plates D', and is rotated on the spindle E by means of the pulley F, which may be driven by a belt from the road wheels, or by frictional contact with the wheel tyres, or by a separate motor. When a belt-drive is employed, suitable radius rods are provided to allow the driving-band to be adjusted. The front portion A<3> of the casing A is made wedge-shaped, to facilitate the passage of the dust-laden air between the flaps A' to the fan chamber. A regulated supply of liquid is admitted to the hollow spindle E, and escapes through perforations E<3> to the interior of the hollow drum C. The periphery of the drum consists of several layers of wire gauze or other suitably perforated material, preferably separated by an absorbent material, the arrangement being such that, as the drum is rotated, a fine spray is thrown off from its periphery by centrifugal action to settle the dust, which, together with the dust-freed air, is delivered through the exit pipe B. The Provisional Specification states that the fan and drum may be made separately, and mounted on the same, or on separate spindles, and the blades of the fan may be constructed to carry and give off moisture when rotating.

Abstract: 14,071. Goldsmith, A., Francombe, G., and Scull, A. S. June 19. Sprinklers, automatic; alarms, fire.-Sprinklers of the expanding-capsule type are provided with means, which may consist of spring-pressed rods acting against the valve stem, for retarding the opening and closing of the valve. Fig. 1 shows the application of one form of the invention to the sprinkler described in Specification No. 5237, A.D. 1906, comprising a capsule A, a main valve B, and a supplementary valve E adapted to be opened in advance of the main valve. Fixed in the casing A<1> is a plate G, provided with a slot G<2> and a flat spring H, fastened to the plate by a screw H'. A member I, pivoted at I<1>, passes through the slot G<2> and carries a sliding rod J, acted upon a spring J<1> and formed with a notch J<2>, which engages the shoulder of the stem A<2> of the capsule A. When the capsule expands with sufficient force, the shoulder on the stem A<2> slips past the notch J<2> and the member I is tilted, its corner I' pressing against the spring H, which thus retards the movement of the stem A<2>. The rod J pres iog against the stem A<2> retards the closing of the valve when the temperature falls. The tension of the spring H can be varied by varying the position of bolts K, which are adapted to slide in slots cut through the plate G and spring H. A helical spring A<6> is fitted between the spring H and the capsule, which is provided with projecting-plates A', A<5>. The tilting of the member I brings together two electric contacts Q, P to sound an a'arm. In the modification shown in Fig. 4, two spring-pressed rods J are employed, and the spring H is replaced by springs L In the form showu in Fig. 5, the pivoted members I act upon a plate M, having a sliding cylindrical sleeve M', provided with an adjustable collar M<2>, between which and the fixed plate G is a spring N.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Self-propelling Torpedoes
Inventor: BUREAU AUGUSTE
Filed: 1906-08-02
Granted: 1907-01-03
Abstract: 17,439. Bureau, A. Aug. 3, 1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Torpedoes.-A torpedo is propelled by the reaction upon the water of jets of acetylene gas generated within the torpedo. Figs. 1 and 7 are longitudinal sections and Figs. 8 and 9 transverse sections of the torpedo. The calcium carbide is stored in perforated metal boxes 33 in the chamber 7, the boxes being supported by ribs 36 out of contact with the walls of the chamber and separated from one another by springs 35 on rods 34. The water is stored in the chamber 9, which also contains a carbide cartridge 39 having an opening in the top normally closed by a lightly soldered plate 50, Fig. 8. The plate 50 is connected by a pin 51 to a rod 28, on which is also mounted the valve 30 opening communication between the chambers 7, 9. The rod at its near end passes through the gasdelivery pipe 25 and its valve 26, and carries a piston 55 working in a cylinder 54. During the launching operation, the pressure fluid in the ejecting-tube enters the cylinder 54 through the valve 56 and, by driving the piston rearwards, simultaneously opens the valve 30 and strips the plate 50 from the opening in the carbide cartridge 39, thereby permitting the water to enter The gas generated in the chamber 9 forces the water through the orifice 53, chamber 8, and valve 30, and over the baffle-plate 71 into the chamber 7. When the pressure of the gas generated in the chamber 7 exceeds that of the spring 27, the valve 26 is opened and the gas passes into the chamber 4, and thence into the central conical nozzle 20 and also into nozzles 24 which lead into tubular water-ways 23 in the conical end wall of the torpedo. The jets draw water into the tubes 23 and expel it'rearwardly at 21, thus propelling the torpedo. Two immersion regulators are provided, one 18 being of the Whitehead type. The other consists of an hydrostatic plate 61 arranged in the front wall of the chamber 10. When the pressure on the plate of the water in the chamber 11 exceeds that of the spring 67, the plate and tube 63 on which it is mounted are moved to the right. Gas from the chamber 9 then passes through the tube into the chamber 11 and expels some of the water therefrom, thus causing the torpedo to take an upward course until the correct depth is again attained. In a modified method of discharging the torpedo, the rod 28 is operated by hand by means of the Landle 70, and the gas generated in the chamber 7 passes through the nozzles into the ejecting-tube where it mixes with air and is ignited by an electric-ignition plug. The gas generated as above described may also be used to operate a motor for the propulsion of the torpedo. A catch may be provided on the valve 26 to retain it in its open position, so that the torpedo sinks when the gas ceases to be generated.
