Patent GB-190820711-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Water Heating Apparatus for Steam Plant and suitable for use in connection with the Utilisation of Regular or Irregular Supplies of Exhaust Steam.
Inventor: MORISON DONALD BARNS
Filed: 1908-05-05
Granted: 1909-05-05
Abstract: 20,711. Morison, D. B. May 5. Heating water.-In apparatus applicable as a feedwater - heater, thermal storage apparatus, or as a steam regenerative accumulator, the water is circulated by being drawn up through a plurality of vertical pipes by the inductive action of steam issuing from suitable jets arranged at the top of the pipes. Steam entering at f passes to the distribution pipes 2, 3, 4 and is then led just below the surface of the water by the pipes 5, which have a star-like arrangement of nozzles as shown in Figs. 4 and 5. These nozzles 11 are opposite openings 12 in the pipes 9, and, when steam is discharged through them, an upward current of water is induced which serves to equalize the temperature in the containing vessel. The apparatus is more particularly designed for the utilization of regular or irregular supplies of exhaust steam.

Granted: 1909-05-27
Abstract: 27,223. Ransome, E. L. Dec. 17, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Paving-materials, laying down and spreading; kerbs; gutters.-Concrete pavements, kerbs, gutters, &c. are constructed by means of a travelling mould which lays the different strata, such as the foundation, the main body of cement, and the top surface of cement, simultaneously and progressively. In the form shown in Fig. 2, the mould comprises a framework having hoppers or openings by which the materials are introduced, and horizontal levelling - members by means of which the materials are laid. A foundation of cinders or the like is laid by the hopper 24, the main body of concrete is introduced through the opening 21 and levelled by the adjustable horizontal member 26, a top layer of cement is distributed from the hopper 30 and levelled by the member 22; and the surface may be finished off with a covering of dry cement &c. by the hopper 31 and trowelling-member 22<a>. A trailer may be attached to the back of the mould for producing a smoothed surface. The apparatus may be modified to form a combined pavement and gutter, or a kerb and gutter only. Fig. 11 shows a cross-section through the cement-supply hopper of a mould for the latter purpose in which the top and side of the curb are moulded by the members 54, 56 and the gutter by the member 55. Plates 64, 64a, with or without distance-pieces, may be provided, on which the mould may run, the plates being removed after the structure has set. In another modification, shown in section in Fig. 14, the horizontal moulding-members are arranged so that the gutter can be formed at various inclinations. The frame through which the concrete is charged, and to which is fixed the levelling-member 86, is hinged at 82 to the framework of the mould and connected to the cement hopper 77 by a bolt- and-slot arrangement 79, while the le-velling- member 71 is adjustably connected to horizontal bars 73 by screw-bolts 74. The moulds maybe provided with runners 51, 75, and in the front with vertical runner blades which bear against the earth and serve to support it until the kerb is laid on. The levelling-members are preferably inclined backwards to exert a downward pressure on the work.

Abstract: 25,480. Pressey, B. J. Nov. 19, 1908, [Convention date]. Steering and balancing (1) automatically (2) by non-automatic adjustment of an elevator and rudder. (1) In an aeroplane provided with lateral and longitudinal pairs of balancing-planes controlled by a hanging cradle or seat for the operator or by other weight universally mounted, a hand-controlled elevator and rudder are mounted to be controlled independently of the automatic balancing-devices, the lateral balancing-planes 5 are pivoted on shafts 12, each provided with a forwardly-extending arm 13 which is engaged by a bell-crank lever 14. The bell-crank levers 14 are connected by a rod 15 having a slotted portion 16 through which passes a curved arm 17 secured to the frame 7 of the cradle 6. The arm 17 is so shaped that longitudinal movement of the cradle about the axis 11 does not move the rod 15. When the cradle moves laterally about an axis 9, the planes 5 are moved in opposite directions. The longitudinal balancing-planes 19, 20 are turned oppositely by rods 26 connected to an upright 25 secured to a yoke 10, which is rocked about the axis 11 when the cradle swings longitudinally. The cradle can be secured against longitudinal movement by causing spring bolts 31 to enter a transverse slot 32 in the lower plane, or by the aeronaut placing his feet in stirrups 30. (2) The machine may be steered by a rudder 3 and an elevator 4 operated by rods 46, 42, respectively. The operating-levers 44, 40 are each provided with a thumb-lever 50 having a bolt for engaging any one of a series of slots in the frames 45, 41.

Abstract: 6877. Strõhle, C. A. March 18. Bottling. - A filling- head for bottling-machines has a valve 4 adapted to be displaced against the pressure of the liquid so that its passages 7 communicate with a liquid inlet 1, the liquid passing through a chamber 6 in the valve and passage 8 to an annular passage 13 in the filling-nozzle 9. The passage 8 is of less sectional area than the passage 13, so that the liquid flows quietly. Air escapes through a passage 14, which is closed by a ball 15 when the bottle is full. The lower end of the passage 13 is flared outwards to direct the liquid against the sides of the bottle. The valve is raised by the bottle engaging the filling- nozzle, leakage being prevented by packing 10. Return of the valve may be assisted by a spring 17.

Bobbins, removing from and inserting into carriages. - Relates to improvements applicable to the machine described in Specification 13,690/08 for removing empty and inserting full bobbins in lace machine carriages. To relieve the carriage - feeding slide B from undue pressure when the carriage-supply box A is full, gripping - jaws D, mounted a short distance above the slide B, are arranged to support the weight of the superincumbent carriages. These jaws are periodically opened to allow the descent of a fresh supply of carriages by means of a lever worked by the bobbin-receiving turntable H and carrying a stud F<2> which operates crossed slots E<2> in rearward extensions of the gripping-levers E. To stop the machine when the carriage-receiving boxes J on the turntable K fail to be emptied, a sliding rod L is provided to trip a lever N and set the ordinary stopmotion in action, when the end L' is operated by the upper carriages of a full box moving forward. The bobbin threads are cut to the same length by means of a knife 0 in front of the comb roller P, over which the threads are drawn. The knife is mounted with pins and inclined-slot connexion, in a sheath 0', and projects beyond the sheath, into working position, when drawn down against a spring by a cord R<1> attached to a pedal R.
