Granted: 1906-10-11
Abstract: 20,581. Simone, M. G. de, Longbottom, H., and Smith, G. R. Oct. 11. Gas and like en gines. - A rotary engine comprises a wheel a, which is provided with a cylinder c co-operating with impulse caps or cylinder heads i<1>, i<2>, i<3> to form explosion chambers. The portion of the surface of the wheel about the cylinder c is spherical and corresponds to packing-rings j, sliding in the impulse caps and pressed forward into contact by springs k. An explosive mixture is compressed by a pump into a receiver connected with each impulse cap. When the cylinder is in position, the mixture is admitted by a cam-actuated valve into the cap and passes into the cylinder through a valve m. It is then fired by a spark-plug at r. The force of the explosion rotates the wheel, and a fixed cam g causes the lever to open the exhaust valve d, when the gases escape through curved passages e and so exert further pressure upon the wheel. The valve d is normally closed by a spring f<1>. The impulse caps are water-jacketed at t, and cooling means may also be provided in the wheel. The wheel and caps or the wheel alone may be enclosed to provide an exhaust chamber, and a fan or exhauster may be used to remove the exhaust gases. The pumps described are of the multicylinder type.

Granted: 1907-09-05
Abstract: 4022. Hodge, R. O. Feb. 18. Cleaning tubes. - Relates to boiler-tube cleaners which deliver a jet of steam from the combustion chamber into the ends of the tubes. The cleaner is adapted to rotate and move radially so as to deliver a compact jet into all the flues successively. The nozzle I is normally retracted within a tube E, extending across the water space by a spring u but in use is extended into the combustion chamber, as shown in dotted lines, by the pressure of the steam which enters the cleaner through the pipe G. The body of the cleaner consists of a tubular section F capable of sliding and rotary motion within a tubular section F<1>, which is rigidly attached to the boiler shell. The nozzle I has its outlet arranged at an angle to its inlet, and is pivotally mounted so as to rotate on an axis inclined to the axis of the tubular section F. A hollow shaft J has an outer cylindrical portion j, passing through a stuffing-box l and carrying a gear-wheel M, and an inner perforated portion j<1> of square or flat-sided section. The tube F carries bars p<2> supporting a head p adapted to embrace and slide along the portion j<1>. A shaft R, which does not fill the bore of the shaft J, passes through a stuffing-box r<1> and gear-wheel T, and carries the spring u and nut u<1> at its outer end. The inner end carries bars s supporting a toothed rim which gears with the teeth q<1> on the nozzle I. The shaft R can slide through the wheel T, but the two rotate together. Wheels N, t on a shaft o gear with the wheels M, T, the wheels M, N, T, t forming a differential gear by which the member F can be rotated in the member F<1> and the nozzle I at the same time rotated relatively to the member F, so that the jet of steam is moved along a spiral path over the ends of the tubes to be cleaned. The driving-wheels may be rotated by a crank-handle Y engaging the wheel t by a tooth v<1>, formed with an inclined and an abrupt face so that the wheels can only be rotated in one direction to prevent unscrewing of the parts. When the steam is turned off, the spring u moves the central shaft into the path of the handle Y thus preventing rotation of the latter.

Purifying gas.-In process of purifying air or other gases, the air is dried by first subjecting it to a dehydration at the normal temperature, and then effecting one or more subsequent dehydrations at successively lower temperatures. In the apparatus shown, the gas, after passing through a vessel B containing caustic soda or lime, to remove carbonic acid gas, passes through vessels D containing fused calcium chloride or other dehydrating- agent. The gas is then cooled in the apparatus E until it is nearly saturated, when it is again dehydrated in a vessel G. Subsequent cooling and dehydration at a lower temperature may be effected by the apparatus H, I. The gas, after its final cooling, may be utilized to cool air passing through the apparatus E. In a modification, the chloride of calcium may be placed in the cooling - apparatus E. The Specification in the original form as published under the Act of 1901 comprises also the purifier B shown in Fig. 2. The gas passing up the the pipe T causes a liquid, such as milk of lime or saccharate of lime, to rise in the pipe S and to be atomized. The gas is afterwards separated from the liquid as it passes up the space between the inner casing R and the vessel P on its way to the outlet X. This subject-matter does not appear in the Complete Specification as accepted.
