Granted: 1913-05-08
Abstract: 11,321. Maranville, H. F. May 13. Channels and reservoirs in engine crank casings.-To prevent the oil in the crank chamber of an internal-combustion engine for motorvehicles from becoming overheated, the hot gases that leak around the pistons are allowed to escape through an opening 69 to a ventilator 9, the head of which is capped by a pivoted hood 16 open at one side. The hood is so directed that the current of air from the cooling-fan of the engine has an aspirating effect to prevent the entrance of air and dust into the ventilator. Any particles of oil that are carried through the opening 69 by the escaping gases are caught by a plate 70 and a trough 72, and descend through a pipe 73 to an oil-reservoir 46. A wire-gauze strainer. 23 is placed in the ventilator 9 to prevent the entrance of dust. A rotary pump 54, 55 forces oil from the reservoir through a pipe 57 to a filtering and cooling tank, from which it enters the compartments of the crank casing by inlets 60. Overflow openings 38 maintain the oil at a constant level in the paths of the cranks 35, which are fitted with scoops 35<a> to sweep sediment into a chamber 33. The upturned edge 37 of a plate 36 deflects the sediment into the chamber 33. The level of the oil in the reservoir is indicated by a float 50, connected to an indicator 53 moving in a glass tube 14. The pump is actuated by gearing 63 from the shaft 64 that operates the magnets. The gearing 63 is enclosed in a separate chamber, and is lubricated by splash through an opening 68<a> in the crank casing. The ventilator 9 serves as an opening for inserting oil in the reservoir.

Granted: 1913-05-22
Abstract: 1121. Crossley, Sir K. I., and Fielden, F. Nov. 14, 1912. Water-tube boilers.- A vaporizer for a gasproducer comprises externally gilled tubes i around which the hot 'gases leaving the producer circulate. Water supplied to a funnel u flows away by a pipe v when the gas is not being drawn off, but when the pressure in the producer is lowered due to suction, a partial vacuum is created in a pipe w, with the result that water is drawn over the top bend of a tube y and drops into a lower tube z, and thence to a funnel l. This water passes by a pipe m to the bottom of one of the gilled tubes i, overflows from the top of the gilled tube, and passes by another pipe to the bottom of the next gilled tube, thus being circulated throughout the series. The last gilled tube has no internal pipe and is used as a steam heating tube. A hot-water overflow feeds funnels f with water for a stepped-grate vaporizer e, but this grate may be supplied with water from any source. The bottom of each gilled tube is provided with a detachable flange to facilitate cleaning, and the set of tubes are supported from a plate k in such a manner as to allow for free expansion. Between the scrubber h and the vaporizer is a cascade pipe r so placed as to ensure the hot gas passing through cascades of water overflowing from the scrubber. Specification 26,127/12, [Class 55 (i), Coking &c.], is referred to.
