Title: Improvements in and relating to Carburettors or the like for Internal Combustion Engines.
Inventor: MUMFORD ARTHUR GEORGE
IPC: F02M17/36
Filed: 1913-02-26
Granted: 1914-02-05
Abstract: 4911. Mumford, A. G., and Boothroyd, A W. Feb. 26. Spray carburettors.-In a liquid-fuel regulating- device for carburettors or vaporizers, the needle valve b for controlling the orifice of the fuel nozzle a is carried by a nut-piece c mounted in the casing d of the chamber containing the fuel nozzle, the arrangement being such that the needle b can be adjusted independently by hand, or automatically in conjunction with the throttle valve v by means of a link p which is adjustably connected to a shaft m engaging the nut-piece c. The nut-piece c is carried by a piece e, which is loosely mounted in the casing d and held in its normal position by means of springs f. This arrangement permits the nut-piece to yield in case the needle valve has been over-adjusted by hand, and also allows the needle valve to be readily detached for purposes of inspection. The adjustable connexion between the linkp and shaft m provides for variation of the ratio of opening between the fuel nozzle and throttle valve. The Provisional Specification describes also a modification in which the nut-piece is screwed directly into the casing of the fuel valve.

Inventor: TRIST ARTHUR RONALD
IPC: F22D5/12
Filed: 1914-05-05
Granted: 1915-05-05
Abstract: 11,101. Trist, A.R. May 5. Actuating; alarms.- In a feed-water system for a battery of boilers, a relief valve o controlling the action of a feed check valve on one of the boilers, is itself controlled by the fluid pressure in the feed main acting on a piston h against the resistance of a spring i. The piston rod h<1> contacts with a plunger h<2> carrying auxiliary valves k, k<1> having seatings on the opposite faces of a member k<2>. When the piston is depressed, the valve k is open and steam from the inlet l passes through passages in the member k<2> to a passage m in communication with a cylinder n<1> containing a piston connected to the valve o. When the piston h is again pressed upwards by the spring i, the valve k<1> is opened and the pressure in the cylinder n<1> is released through the passages in the member k<2> and the outlet l'. The relief valve o is then closed by a spring on its spindle. An arm q on the valve spindle is connected by a link r<1> to an alarm bell.

Title: Improvements in Crushers.
Inventor: WARSEN AUGUST WARNER
IPC: B02C1/04
Filed: 1914-05-30
Granted: 1915-04-29
Abstract: 13,337. Warsen, A. W. May 30. Crushers with vibrating jaws. - Relates to crushers in which the crushing takes place between two jaws, one of which is carried by an oscillating lever, and consists in the provision of an arm resiliently mounted between the lever and the connecting-rod by which it is actuated, so that the lever may remain stationary when an object of high resistance enters between the jaws. The lever is reversibly and adjustably mounted, and the means for oscillating it are also adjustable. The lever 14, Fig. 2, carrying the jaw 7<1> is mounted on a shaft 13 carried by bearing-blocks 12 in apertures 9 in the side frames 5, and is provided at its outer end with a recess 16 to receive a projection 17 on an arm 18, which is secured to the 'lever by spring-pressed bolts 19. The crank-shaft 24 operates a connecting-rod 22 formed with a removable portion 23 engaging a recess 21 in the arm 18, the recesses 16, 21 being always out of line with the centre of the crank-shaft 24, so that the arm 18 can turn on its projection 17 in the recess 16 and the lever 14 remain stationary when a hard object falls between the jaws 7, 7<1>. A spring 27, carried by a bolt 25 passing through the end of the lever 14 and the transverse portion 26 of the frame, holds the lever 14 and arm 18 in engagement with the rod 22. The bearing-blocks 12, 34 of the shafts 13, 24 are adjustable by means of screws 28 and plates 29. Fig. 3 shows the lever 14 inverted, the bearing-blocks 12 of the shaft 13 being located in the upper apertures 8 of the side frames 5, the bolt 25 positioned in the lower transverse portion 35 of the frame, and the crank-shaft 24 moved up towards the upper portion of the frame. In a modification, the arm 18 is dispensed with, and the lever 14, Fig. 4, is directly engaged in its recess 16<1> by a spring-pressed member 30 adapted to oscillate on the connecting-rod 31 when a hard object falls between the jaws. The removable crushing plates or jaws 7, 7<1> have wavy surfaces, the central portions c being concave, and the end portions a, b convex.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the Collection of Dust and Products of Combustion from Boilers, Economisers, Flues or the like.
Inventor: MERRYLEES ANDREW UMPHRAY

Filed: 1914-08-01
Granted: 1915-06-03
Abstract: 18,216. Merrylees, A. U., and Lewis, W. H. Aug. 1. Flue dust and the like, collecting and removing. - In apparatus for collecting dust and products of combustion from boilers, economizers, flues, &c., in which a number of vanes are arranged in a part of the flue leading or adjacent to an uptake so as to divert the dust &c. to a collecting-pit that can be temporarily shut off from the flue, the vanes are superposed in one or more rows and mounted so as to be capable of being turned in sets or all together so as to vary their inclination. Means are preferably provided for vibrating the vanes so as to shake off the deposit, and jets of steam or compressed air may be used to deflect the dust &c. towards or out of the collecting-pit. The vanes d are arranged transversely to the flue b and pivoted in frames a near the foot of the uptake, and the dust collects in a pit h below the flue bottom a<1>. One of the pivot-pins d<1> of one or more of the vanes d in each series projects through the wall of the flue and carries a lever f, and all the vanes of each set, may be connected together by a member e for simultaneous adjustment. The levers f of the several sets of vanes may be connected together. For shaking the vanes, a spring g may be attached at one end to a lever f and at the other end to the wall of the flue, so that when the lever is turned in opposition to its spring, a shock is imparted to the set of vanes. A series of movable baffles i, preferably S-shaped and with an asbestos pad j in one curve, is arranged in the portion of the floor of the flue over the pit h. The baffles may extend entirely or partly across the top of the pit; in the latter case, the remaining portion is closed by one or more plates k. When it is desired to clean out the pit, the baffles are turned into an horizontal position by means of a handle o outside the flue. The handle o operates a member connecting cranks m on the pivots i<1> of the baffles. The vanes and baffles may be cleaned by jets of steam &c. from pipes p, and alternatively, or in addition, the vanes may be mounted on endless chains so that they can be passed through water or brought into contact with brushes. Jets of steam or compressed air may be employed to deflect the deposited soot &c. in any direction, and the pit h may then occupy a position other than that shown. The soot directed downwards by the steam-jets p may be blown towards the outlet h<1> of the pit h by means of steam blowers q communicating with a steam supply q<1>. To assist in causing the soot passing towards the chimney to be directed towards the pit h, a by-pass flue r may be provided, branching off from a point in the main flue b at a suitable distance away from the first set of vanes. The gases may be drawn or forced through the flue r by a fan &c.
