Granted: 1899-03-25
Abstract: 12,209. Weir, J. May 31. Feed-pumps ; air traps.-Relates to means for the removal of air and corrosive gases from feedwater in order to prevent corrosion in steam boilers and economizers. The apparatus also ensures the satisfactory working of the feedpumps by preventing fluctuations of pressure in the tank or vessel from which they draw. An airseparating vessel A, in communication with the condenser by the pipe F, and either separate from the feed-heater M as shown in Fig. 1, or combined with it as shown in Fig. 2, is located above the feed-tank B at a height which depends, in an inverse manner, on the temperature of the feedwater.

Patent GB-189822020-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in to the Manufacture of Gas and to Apparatus therefor.
Inventor: SLOCUM FRANK LEROY
Filed: 1898-10-19
Granted: 1899-09-30
Abstract: 22,020. Lake, H. H., [Slocum, F. L.]. Oct. 19. Water and producer gas.-Producer gas, such as prepared by the Mond process, has the tar and ammonia separated out as bye-products, and is then re-heated, and passed through a second generator for the purpose of splitting up the carbonic acid and water vapour contained therein, after passing through the purifiers. Fig. 5 shows a sectional plan of the re-heating apparatus. The gas is received through a pipe g, and passes up and down through the pipes g<1>-g<6>, before passing to either of the generators E or F by means of the pipe h. The pipe h is connected by valves to the generators E and F in their lower portion, and on the same level the valves are arranged for the blasting-up pipe k. Corresponding connections e<1>, f<1> are made in the upper portions of the generators for leading away the finished and waste blast gases. These gases are led respectively to the jackets n, n<1> surrounding the pipes g<3>, g<4> and the jackets r<1>-r<4> surrounding the pipes g<1>, g<2>, g<5>, g<6>, so as to superheat the incoming gas. The pipe n<3> leads the finished gas to the storage, and the pipe s the blast gases to a steam generator. The generators E, F operate alternately.

Granted: 1900-01-27
Abstract: 4415. Lake, H. H., [Boissier, H. R.]. Feb. 28. Small articles, plating.-The work is carried from hangers I, which are caused to reciprocate vertically by any suitable means, for example, by a crank. The hanger is supported by, but insulated from, a brass holder D, to which is fixed a vertical tube or rod C, moving within a fixed tube B and a socket C', and guided by pins c working in tubes c<1> on a cross-bar. One hanger I is shown with a depending frame I<1> having hooks n upon which to place larger articles to be plated. An anode plate is suspended on each side of such frame from rods F<1> connected to the positive conductor F. The other hanger supports the axle of a hollow drum H, having metal-gauze sides, and a rim connected to the hub by insulated brass bars. The rim is provided with hard rubber teeth engaged by two pawls, one of which R rotates the drum slightly each time the hanger rises, while the other R' prevents backward motion. One side of the drum is removable, hard rubber nuts Q, O being used. The whole of the cage except the screens is insulated. The drum is for small work, and the current is preferably carried to the axle by a conducting-wire S from a post T connected to the negative terminal W by flexible conductors P. Two anode plates may be suspended on each side of the drum. A strong current may be used with this apparatus for quick plating without risk of " burning."

Title: A Process for the Protecting of Tubes, Pipes, and Reservoirs of Steam Generators by the Application of Silver.
Inventor: COMBE EUGENE JULES MARIE LA
Filed: 1899-04-29
Granted: 1900-04-28
Abstract: 9057. La Combe, E. J. M. April 29. Coating pipes and tubes.-Consists in applying a coating of silver to steel boiler tubes, to prevent corrosion and promote evaporation.

The application of the invention to the tubes of marine and other boilers is mentioned, and the coating may be applied to the inside or outside of the tubes as desired.
Patent GB-189909225-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Pneumatic Carrier Systems.
Inventor: FORDYCE EDMOND ARMITAGE
Filed: 1899-05-02
Granted: 1899-07-08
Abstract: 9225. Fordyce, E. A. May 2. Pneumatic despatch apparatus.-Fig. 1 shows diagrammatically one end of the main double track and a side station with the pump, which circulates the air in the direction of the arrow. A pair of sluice valves operated by pistons is provided in each end section of the tubes, and in each branch tube, including the co-joint part, while a single valve of the same sort is put in the main tube between each pair of branches. The pump pipe 33, and the corresponding pipe at the other end of the track, have each a branch opening into the corresponding tube, and a sluice valve in the tube is coupled to one in the branch by the piston-rod of a cylinder between them. Pressure is distributed to the three cylinders thus used in despatching a carrier from a main end by means of the handvalve, shown in Fig. 2, which consists of a dished sector 52 upon a port plate 57 communicating with pipes from the ends of the cylinders. When a carrier arrives at a main end the two valves operate automatically. Fig. 5 shows in detail the arrangement for the purpose. The cylinders 139, 140 of the pistons for operating the sluices 137, 138 have distributing piston valves 148 and 160 connected to the despatch tube by a pipe 152, which terminates in a small cylinder 169 for operating the valve of the inner cylinder. This pipe contains a venting- valve 166 for admitting atmospheric pressure to the small cylinder when the outer sluice is open. Other small cylinders 142 and 154 for operating the distributing-valves are connected to the main tube between the sluices by pipes 141 and 153 respectively. The pressure of the air buffer between the arriving carrier and the closed outer sluice shifts the distributing-valve of the inner sluice so as to effect its closure, and the partial vacuum resulting between it and the carrier allows the distributing-valve of the outer sluices to be shifted by a spring so as to effect the opening of the sluice which cuts off pressure beyond the venting- valve. As the carrier is emerging, the vacuum affects the distributing-valve of the inner sluice so that it resumes its original position and the sluice opens. After emergence, atmospheric pressure overcomes the spring and the outer sluice closes while the inner one opens. The despatch and discharge arrangements at the side stations comprise the automatic and the manual mechanisms. The carrier bears a wheel to run along a groove in the tube, and there is at each siding a switch which is operated by a piston in a cylinder 78 after the carrier has acted on its distributing-valve 70, for which purpose it bears an arm which can be set at any angle from the wheel according to the switch to be operated.

Abstract: 3451. Goss, S. G. Feb. 21. Stereotype.-Casting-boxes for use in stereotyping are provided with mears for locking the core in the case and for unlocking and raising the core from the case when a cast has been made. Fig. 1 shows a form of casting-box 6 mounted on trunnions 7 and supported in a horizontal position by standards 10, capable of being moved out of the way by a lever 12 so as to permit of the case being turned into a vertical position for casting. The core is pivoted to the case at 15, and can be moved into a vertical position independently of the case. Near its forward end the core is provided with a pair of parallel shafts, one of which carries at each end a cam 16 resting on the case, and the other at each end a segmental lug 25 adapted to engage with a spring latch 22, when moved into the position shown. In order to release the core and lift it out of the case, the shaft carrying the cams 16 is rotated by a lever 19 ; the motion is transmitted to the second shaft by a pair of segmental wheels, and the lugs 25 are disengaged from the latches 22; the cams 16 then come into action and lift the core out of the case, after which the core can be raised into the vertical position and the stereotype removed from the case.
