Abstract: 6367. Rushton, T. H., and Store, J. C. March 16. Cabs ; carriages ; ventilating.-In an arrangement for ventilating closed vehicles, the roofs or sides are made double so as to form an air passage D, Fig. 1, into which foul air is drawn by the use of bent tubes F, which have their open ends pointing away from the direction of the draught through the passage caused by the motion of the vehicle. The tubes F are turned by handles F<2> to suit the direction of motion. In modifications, each outlet tube has its own enclosing- tube and forms with it a complete ventilator. In one arrangement, shown in Fig. 3, the exit tube consists of a straight tube F, surmounted by a box-shaped arrangement F<1>, which has its open end turned in the direction of a bellmouthed enclosing-tube B. A vane B<2> is provided for keeping the mouth B<1> towards the wind. Similar arrangements are shown in Figs. 9 and 10, the former being specially adapted for cabs and like vehicles, and the latter being provided with an adjustable hinged mouth B<3> which is held in place by a thumb-screw B<7>. In another modification, shown in Fig. 5, the exit tube F is T-shaped and has hinged lids G of slightly greater area than the tube, one or other of which is automatically opened by the draught. Air passages may be formed by tubes fixed along the structure instead of by a double roof.

Abstract: 18,731. Christ, I. Aug. 30. Conveyers. - Relates to endlesschain conveyers having " flight" links to which the push-plates, scrapers, buckets, &c. are attached and consists of means for connecting the links of the chain so that screwing or riveting is dispensed with and no special tools are required. The chain consists of links connected by double-headed pins, and formed with slots of a width equal to the diameter of the pins and having enlargements b big enough to allow the passage of the heads d of the pins. The chain is made up by placing the links to be connected so that their enlargements b coincide to allow of the passage of a pin, which is then drawn to the ends of the slots by sliding the links past each cther. The links are preferably arranged in pairs as shown. The " flight" links e, formed with brackets g for the attachment of the push-plates &c., are slotted in a similar manner to the other links and are held against them by the heads of the common connecting-pins. In a modification, the brackets g are replaced by brackets running along one edge of each link e. In another modification, Fig. 5, buckets are secured to the side of the chain by means of links e formed with recesses o, p to take the heads of the connecting- bolts and a bent-up part m on which the bottom of the bucket is secured.

Granted: 1904-10-13
Abstract: 19,416. Alberger, L. R. Sept. 8. Condensers, regulating water supply to.-In condensers in which an elevated or barometric jet is employed, two centrifugal or like pumps are used for raising the water or other liquid for condensing the steam or other vapour, and such connections are provided that the pumps may be used in series or in parallel. The condenser 2, Fig. 1, provided with a tail-pipe 3 leading to the hot-well 6, receives steam through the pipe 4 and condensing-water through the pipe 5. At the commencement of the operation, the gate valves 15, 16, 17 are opened so that the water drawn from the tank 8 by the pump 10 is supplied to the pump 11. When the suction due to the vacuum in the condenser is sufficiently great, the gate valve 15 is closed and the pumps 10, 11 may be run in parallel, or the gate valve 30 may be closed and the gate valve 32 opened so that the pump 10 supplies water through the pipe 31 to a cooling-tower &c. while the pump 11 alone is used to supply the condenser. Fig. 2 shows apparatus in which the water is pumped through a pipe 26 into a tank 25, fro m the bottom of which a pipe 27 leads to the condenser, so that the water is discharged under a constant head and stards in the tank 25 at a height determined by the amount of suction due to the vacuum in the condenser 2.

Abstract: 23,814. Phalempin, A. M. Nov. 10, A.D. 1903, [date applied for under Patents Act, A.D. 1901]. Tripod and like stands.-Each telescopic leg is made without the use of springs, so that it can be closed up by release o f a simple locking-device on the most extended part of the leg, and, on this part being pushed in, the release of the locking-devices of the other parts takes place automatically as they successively enter one inside another. Fig. 1 shows a longitudinal section of the leg. The three tubes a, b, c slide i n o n e another The tubes a, b have at their lower ends sleeves d, in which there are circular grooves e. The tops of the tubes b, c carry plugs f, each of which is provided with the collar g, a cylindrical projection i, and a cylindrical recess j. These plugs have two curved passages, in which slide two bolts h, each having a notch. To close the extended leg, the pin m which passes through the rod k is first rotated, by means of the handle q, till it can slide up the slot n. On the rod k being then pushed against the notches on the curved bolts h, the lower ends of these bolts are withdrawn from the groove e, into which they had been forced by the pressure of the sleeve d on the upper end of the bolts when the leg was being extended This movement of the bolts permits the tube c to slide up into the tube b, when the same action takes place again, the projection i entering the recess j. If the cross section of the leg is triangular, the groove e may be replaced by a simple notch. as the tubes cannot in that case rotate. A modification is shown in Fig. 5, in which the pawl r and laterally-sliding piece s replace the upper and lower extremities of the curved bolts.

Title: Improvements in Automatically Equalizing the Load in ALternating Electric Current Circuits
Inventor: BRAUN RUDOLF
Filed: 1905-06-06
Granted: 1906-05-31
Abstract: 11,821. Braun, R. June 6. Distributing ; regulating ; switches.-Relates to apparatus for equalizing the load on alternating- current generators supplying current to motors for operating rolling-mills, shears, hoists, and the like, and comprises two asynchronous machines, the rotors of which are mechanically coupled together and provided with a fly-wheel, the secondary winding of the first machine being connected to the primary of the second machine and automatic means provided whereby one or other of the secondary windings is short-circuited through resistance and the equalizer thereby compelled to act as a motor or generator according as the demand on the main generator is below or above a predetermined value. The secondary windings 8, 10 of the asynchronous machines 3, 4 are connected to the tanks 13, 12 of a liquid rheostat 14. By rotating the shaft 20, Fig. 2, one or other of the secondary windings 8, 10 is short-circuited through the liquid resistance by the vanes 19, 18. The automatic rotation of the shaft 20 is effected by means of two induction motors 21, 22, which normally tend to rotate the shaft in opposite directions, the primary windings of the motors being connected respectively is series and in shunt with the mains 1 by means of series and shunt transformers 23, 24. The synchronous speed of the machines 3, 4 when the secondary winding 8 is short-circuited is above that of the machines when the short-circuit of the secondary 8 is open and the secondary 10 short-circuited, so that the equalizer 3 acts as a motor when the secondary 8 is connected through the rheostat 14 and as a generator when the secondary 10 is short-circuited. By rotating the shaft 20 by means of coils arranged as in a wattmeter, the equalizer 3 will regulate the current in the mains 1 according to a fixed real power output, instead of according to an apparent power output as is the case when the shaft 20 is rotated by the induction motors 21, 22. Other electro-magnetic devices may take the place of the motors 21, 22, or the voltage motor 22 may be replaced by a spring or weight. The Provisional Specification states that, in place of the regulating-rheostat 14, transformers having variable ratios of transformation may be connected to the machines 3, 4 by means of commutation.
