Granted: 1906-05-03
Abstract: 9492. Plnckney, P. May 5. Cleaning tubes; plates, securing tubes to.-Relates to.means for cleaning the tubes, without stopping the working of watertube boilers, and more particularly those of the type described in Specification No. 7846, A.D. 1904. The inner tubes 18, Fig. 1, of boilers constructed according to that Specification are provided with scrapers, blades, or bristles, and are rotated from time to time, in order to remove scale, b y means of spindles 8, which pass outwards through stuffing-boxes 4. The inner tubes, formed conical at the upper end, bear against conical bushes 13 and are connected with the spindles by means of bridge-pieces 10. The spindle is prevented from longitudinal movement by means of a collar 7 and an adjusting-nut 2. The outer ends of the spindle are tapered and square to take a spanner or box key. In a modified form, the tube-plate is dispensed with, the tubes being suspended by the spindles. Fig. 5 shows a modification for use with water-tube boilers having ordinary tubes. In this case, the rod 19 carries the scrapers or bristles and is provided with a centring-device 23, shown in detail in Fig. 6, which consists of a series of rollers carried by a wheel. The outside of the spindle may be provided with a non- conducting covering. To indicate which tubes have been cleaned, caps are placed over each spindle as the tube is cleaned. To assist in the blow out from mud drums and mud pockets of water-tube boilers, the drum is fitted, with a scraper carrying helical blades or bristles arranged helically, which scrape the mud from the drum into a pocket from which it is ejected. Specifications No. 2782, A.D 1870, [Abridgment Class Heating], and No. 9707, A.D. 1904, are referred to.

Granted: 1906-03-29
Abstract: 13,173. Burridge, L. S. June 17, 1904, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Typewriters.-In a tabulating-mechanism for typewriters, the carriage is arrested at the desired column by means of a column stop. This is then withdrawn and the carriage is given an additional motion, the amount of which is determined by denominational stops, according to the denomination required. Keys 1, operating through levers 2 and sub-levers 3, cause type-bars 4 to strike a platen 5 mounted on a carriage 6 which is propelled by a strap and spring-barrel. Letter-spacing is effected by a universal bar 9, carried by a frame 10 which is connected to arms 11 carrying the feed-dogs. The escapementwheel 14 is connected with a pinion 15, gearing with a rack 16 pivoted to the carriage. One or more column stops 24 are pivoted on a rod 22 which is carried by arms on a square rock-shaft 18. The stops are adjustably held in position on the rod 22 by means of a rackbar 23 carried by the shaft 18. Arms 57 on the shaft 18 are connected by links 56 with a fingerbar 62 whereby the stops 24 may be caused to engage with a fixed stop 27 on the carriage. The carriage is simultaneously released from the escapement by an arm 28 on the shaft 18 and a lever 29 which lifts the rack 16 away from the pinion 15. The further movement of the carriage, according to the denomination required, is controlled by a pawl 32, Fig. 4, pivoted to a frame 35 which is supported by two pins 37, 38 which engage slots 36. The pawl 32 is provided with a lug 31 projecting over the lever 29, Fig. 1, and with a hook 33 adapted to engage the rack 16. A spring 39 tends to pull the frame 35 to the right, but it is normally retained in the position shown in Fig. 4 by a notch on the underside of the pawl 32 which is caused by a spring 54 to engage the pin 38. A lug.47 on the frame 35 is adapted to be engaged by one of a number of stop levers 42 which are actuated by rods 45 projecting through the finger-bar 62. When the finger-bar and the required denominational stop lever 45 are actuated, the lever 29 lifts the pawl 32 clear of the pin 38 and the frame 35 is drawn to the right by the spring 39 until the lug 47 meets the selected stop lever 42. During the release of the fingar-bar, the column stop 24 is first disengaged from the stop 27, the rack 16 still remaining out of gear with the pinion 15, but engaging the hook 33 of the pawl 32. The carriage and with it the frame 35 are then drawn along by the spring- barrel until the pins 37, 38 reach the ends of the sluts 36. The recess in the pawl 32 is then caused by the spring 54 to engage the pin 38. The rack 16 then descends into engagement with its pinion and the stop lever 42 returns to its inoperative position.

Title: Improvements in or connected with Water Heaters.
Inventor: STOTT JAMES
Filed: 1907-01-25
Granted: 1907-12-05
Abstract: 1950. Stott, J. Jan. 25. Heating water.-A valve, operated automatically by the displacement power of the water, is used for controlling the temperature of the issuing water in a geyser of the type described in Specification No. 7610, A.D. 1906. The water, having been heated to practically the boiling point in the steam chamber 10, rises through the pipe 14 until it overflows into the bell 15 and thence passes under the bottom of the bell into the expansion chamber 16 ; it then flows away down the pipe 18. If the water becomes too highly heated in its passage through the tubes in the chamber 10, the extra pressure due to the boiling of the water causes it to lift the bell 15 and so, by means of a lever connected to the regulating tap 21, to admit more water until the temperature of the water is reduced to just below boiling point again. A relief valve 22 allows any steam which may collect in the bell to escape into the expansion chamber 16 and thence to the open air. The bell may ba connected to either the steam or the water cock, and gas may be used instead of steam. In a modification, the beli is pivoted and actuates the supply valve directly.
