Title: Improved System for Incadescent Gas Lighting and Heating.
Inventor: CUSS CECIL TAYLOR
IPC: B61D29/00
Filed: 1910-06-01
Granted: 1911-08-01
Abstract: 13,284. Cuss, C. T. June 1. [Cognate Application, 16,677/10.] Atmospheric gas burners.- A system for incandescent gas lighting or heating, in which high-pressure gas or air draws air or gas through a regulator and injector, and thus supplies a gaseous mixture to a series of distributed burners, is so arranged that, before ignition or extinction, a rich mixture or neat gas is admitted in proximity to the injector, to secure ignition or extinction without shock. The system is shown as adapted to train - lighting. Gas passes from a reservoir through a regulator to a nozzle or injector q, Fig. 6, where it draws air through a casing d which has air inlets, and the mixture is distributed to the burners by a pipe n. The air is regulated by adjusting a screwed sleeve u surrounding the nozzle q. The gas supply is controlled by a cock k, Fig. 7, actuated by a sliding bar e by means of a rack f and pinion h. A slow-motion device may be used to operate the rack f, or to operate the cock k by means of levers. Gas is admitted by a passage m to the hollow centre of the cock k. The pilotsupply pipe o is supplied with gas through a permanently-open passage 1 regulated by a screw 2, and by an additional passage 3 controlled by the cock k. The cock also controls a passage 5 leading to a second nozzle r. When the cock is turned on, the passage 5 is opened, and the gas supplied to the nozzle r flushes the pipe n. Gas is at the same time turned on to the nozzle q Further movement of the cock admits gas to the passage 3 and flashes the pilots while a rich mixture is passing to the burners. Further movement cuts off gas from the nozzle r and the passage 3, and the normal gas supply from the nozzle q draws air into the mixture service. On turning the cock to extinguish the burners, gas is again supplied to the nozzler. Instead of using a nozzle r, lighting without shock may be effected by cutting off the air supply to the casing d, or gas at a higher pressure may be admitted by the nozzle q. The burners are preferably of the form shown in Fig. 5. The burner tube 28 has a number of small apertures at its lower end, preferably 1/32 inch apertures arranged round a quarter-inch circle, and no air is admitted at the burner. The tube 28 may be inverted, and the mantle is carried by a connecting-piece 22 screwed on the tube 28. In a modification, Fig. 15, the injecting-fluid is compressed air from a cylinder 41, and draws in carburetted air from a chamber 45 supplied by a pipe 47 and injects it into the main mixture service 42. Additional air may be admitted to the pipe 47 by a cock 46. The device may be arranged to supply a rich mixture to the service pipe, additional air being admitted at the burners. The first Provisional Specification states that the mixture pipe may be provided with a governor of known type, so that any number of burners may be turned on or off without altering the pressure in the mixture service. Specification 6250/10 is referred to.

Abstract: 13,499. Degener, H., and General Composing Co. March 10. Metal pots and pumps for typebar making machines. (1) The premature expulsion of metal due to the oscillation of the metal-pot is prevented by raising the pumplever to the same extent that the metal-pot is raised. The pot 66, Fig. 1, turns about a pivot 67, so that, as it moves forwards to the mould, the cylinder is raised with respect to the piston 68. This is obviated by a modification of the cam 70 that operates the pump-lever 69, so that, during the oscillation of the metal-pot, the piston is raised to the same extent as the cylinder. (2) The opening 72, Fig. 2, through which the metal enters the cylinder, is made smaller than usual and is tapered. The cylinder may be a little lower than usual, and may have a cover 74 to prevent the entrance of dirt and sediment.
