Patent GB-189902460-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Gas or Oil Heaters or Stoves.
Inventor: STEINHOFF HENRY CHARLES
Filed: 1899-02-03
Granted: 1899-03-25
Abstract: 2460. Steinhoff, H. C. Feb. 3. Gas stoves; oil stoves.-Relates to gas and oil stoves in which the burner is supplied with hot air which is afterwards impregnated with moisture. Figs. 1 and 2 show the application of the invention to a gas stove. An annular flue c is formed between the casing a and the combustion chamber d, to which cold air is admitted at the openings a<1>. The casing a is fixed to the base f, and the chamber d rests upon a bridge g' spanning the top plate g of the base. The openwork top h of the stove is connected to the bridge g<1> by bolts i. The bridge g<1> is perforated to allow the passage of the gas pipe j, which may be provided with an auxiliary burner j<1> which, when ignited, ignites the main burner e through perforations in the casings. A water pan k, provided with a filling-opening g<2>, is hung within the base f so that moisture may freely rise into the combustion chamber. When the burner e is lighted, it will induce a flow of air down the flue c around the chamber d, and thus affect a heating of the air supply. The heated air in the chamber d will be moistened with vapour from the pan k. The invention is also described as applied to an oil stove, in which case the oil reservoir is secured below the water pan k, and the latter is provided with a central tube to accommodate the wick-tube. The stove body may be hinged to the base, and a door provided for access to the burner.

Granted: 1901-08-31
Abstract: 15,680. Sayer, R. C. Sept. 4. Electric locomotives and motor vehicles. - Relates to wheels combined with electric motors for vehicles running on rails. The invention is applicable for closed wheels or drums of the kind described in Specifications No. 4963, A.D. 1899, and No. 12,980, A.D. 1899, [Abridgment Class Mechanism &c.], and No. 1680, A.D. 1900, and is illustrated as applied to such wheels. Fig. 2 shows a transverse section. The drum 1 rotates on a fixed axle 5 bearing a fixed plate 7 carrying the electric picking-up mechanism. On the fixed axle 5 are also plates 9 carrying field magnets 11, around which are disposed the armatures 12 carried by the side plates 3, 4 of the wheel drum. The peripheral part of the wheel is kept in position and is rotated by the armature 12 by means of pneumatic or other springs 15, ribs being provided to prevent slip. The wheel has a commutator 17, and an adjustable lever 18 carried by the axle 5 supports the brushes. In some cases the armature may be situated centrally, and the field magnets may be carried by the plate 7. In another form of the invention, shown in elevation in Fig. 3, an intermediate set of armatures and field magnets 12, 24, running on rollers 27 carried by the fixed field magnets, may be interposed between the fixed field magnets and the armature 25 carried by the wheel drum. By the summational or differential action of these, fast and slow speeds may be attained. An inter-' mediate speed may be had by locking the outer armature 25 to the intermediate field magnets 24 by the lever 28.
