Patent GB-190930145-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Automatic Regulating Devices for the Furnaces of Steam Generators.
Inventor: GEHRE MAX
Filed: 1909-12-24
Granted: 1910-09-01
Abstract: 30,145. Gehre, M. Dec. 24. Mechanical stoking; air supply and draught, regulating. - In furnaces for steam-boilers, steam-superheaters, &c., means are provided for regulating the fuel supply, air supply, and draught, together or separately, in accordance with the quantity of steam passing through a conduit connected to the steam chamber of the boiler or superheater. The regulating- devices are specially applicable where use is made of a single motor for operating the feeding-devices of a series of steam-generators. One form of regulating-device, shown in Fig. 1, in connexion with a steam-superheater, consists of a piston 2 arranged in a steam-conduit 1 leading to the superheater, so as not entirely to fill up the cross-sectional area of the conduit. Flow of steam through the conduit 1 causes the piston to move against the influence of a spring 3 connected to the piston-rod 4. The piston-rod 4 is connected through a lever 8, a rod 9, and an arm 10 to the sector shield or mask 13 of a ratchet-wheel 12. The position of the piston 2 thus determines the number of teeth through which the ratchet-wheel 12 is turned by the oscillation of the pawl 17. Fuel is thrown from the plate 20 into the furnace by a striker 18 which is operated by the combined action of a spring and lugs 26 on the ratchet-wheel engaging with an arm 25 on the striker shaft. A rotary perforated flap or register connected by a system of links to the piston 2, as shown, varies the supply of air beneath the grate. The piston-rod 4 is provided with an abutment 5 which, in the event of the flow of steam decreasing considerably, opens a valve 6 and admits steam through a pipe 7 to a cylinder 29 containing a piston which operates a damper 34 in the flue. An alternative device for controlling the fuel-feed is shown in Fig. 3. The controlling-device is located within a branch conduit 35, the ends of which terminate one on each side of a throttled passage 36 in the steampipe 37, and consists of a closed vessel 38 containing liquid and a bell float 39. One section of the branch 35 terminates below the bell, and the other above. Movement of the bell due to difference of pressure on the sides of the passage 36 is communicated through a rod 40, lever 41, and rod 42 to the sector 44 controlling the feed-mechanism.

Title: Improvements in Printing Machines.
Inventor: MACKENZIE JOHN WILLIAM
IPC: B65H29/56
Filed: 1910-02-22
Granted: 1911-02-22
Abstract: 4447. Mackenzie, J. W., [Sorg, W. A.]. Feb. 22. Delivery apparatus.- In a printing-machine of the type comprising a travelling cylinder passing over a fixed type bed covered with an ink ribbon, and stripping-fingers carried by the cylinder - carrier for delivering the sheets, means are provided for lifting the rear edge of the printed sheets into position to be caught by strippers, the lifting- devices being actuated by the movement of the cylinder. The cylinder may be raised or lowered by hand and preferably actuates the lifting-devices only when in its lowered position. The cylinder C is carried by endless chains 12, Figs. 1, 4, and 5, driven by hand or power, and is pressed upon the type bed A by bars 36, which are supported by transverse bars 42, 55 and pressed down by spring bars 48, the downward movement being limited by adjustable inclines 58 on the bars 55. The bars 36 are raised by means of inclines 41 on the bars 42, which are shifted longitudinally by a hand-lever 47 actuating cranks 44 engaging notches in the bars 42. When the bars 36 are raised, the cylinder C is also raised by spring-pressed bars 65. When in working position, the cylinder rests upon bars 70 which can be wedged up to adjust the cylinder with its periphery in alinement with the type. The sheet-lifting devices each consist of a pair of jaws 104, Figs. 1 and 6, adjustable longitudinally of each other and upon an arm 133 carried by a rock-shaft 110. The lower jaws are provided with stops 135. The sheet to be printed is placed with its rear edge within the jaws 104 and engaging the stops 135 and with its side against an adjustable guide F. As the cylinder C leaves the bed A, it depresses the curved arm E of a bell-crank lever connected by links 109, 108 with the rock-shaft 110 and causes the bar 133 to turn so as to lift the printed sheet into position to be engaged by strippers 137, which are carried by the chains 12 and drag the sheet on to a plate 143, from which it is delivered by wheels 144 and a brush. The position of the arm E of the bell-crank lever is such that it is only depressed when the cylinder C is in its lowered position. The cylinder C is provided with a wear ring 31 for engaging the arm E.

Abstract: 5444. Barry, E. L. March 4. Movable-abutment type. - The casings of a compound Roots'-blower engine are grooved round their inner peripheries to form passages for the steam, which, in passing therethrough from the intermeshing of the teeth, acts on the peripheries of the wheels; and the steam passages leading from one stage to another are formed in the division walls. The inner peripheries of the casing B are provided with a series of parallel grooves E connecting upper and lower pockets G, G<1>, and F, F'. The steam passing from the working chamber H<1> at the intermeshing of the teeth is carried round between the teeth into the pockets F, F', from which it passes round the grooves E, in which it acts upon the periphery of the toothed wheels A. From the pockets G, G', the steam passes through passages into common passages R, N formed in the wall dividing the two stages, and is led into the second stage. Any steam carried beyond the pockets G, G<1> is led through a pipe D into the inlet passage of the next stage but one.

Abstract: 24,808. Thompson, W. P., [Wirth, Beck, & Knauss]. Oct. 25. Systems for controlling travel for a fixed distance or number of revolutions; controllers, electric-motor driven; controllers, actuating- mechanism for.-A rudder, crank, or the like 14, Fig. 1, is driven in one direction or the other by a motor 13 connected to it through a train of gearing 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. At the limit of its travel, a pin 25 or 26 on the wheel 6 raises a strip 22 off contacts 23, 24, and a resistance 21 is thereby cut into the motor circuit. The movement of the motor torque about the rudder spindle is thus reduced till it is equal to that due to the mechanical resistance encountered. The rudder is returned to its central position when the motor circuit is broken, by a rope 17, which is made fast at one end to a drum 15 on the wheel 3 and at the other to a spring drum 19. Rotation of the train of gear-wheels in either direction strains the spring 18 of the drum 19, and coils up the rope on the drum 15. Instead of cutting-in the choking-resistance in one step, the arm 14 may progressively cut resistance into the motor circuit as it sweeps through its arc of movement. The arm may also be latched in any position by means of a pivoted latch 39, Fig. 3, which is pulled by a spring or by rods 41, 42 on to teeth on one of the gear-wheels, and is lifted off at the will of the operator. A solenoid may be used to operate the latch. When the latch is depressed on to its wheel, the motor circuit is automatically broken at the contacts 43, 44.
