Inventor: HALPIN DRUITT
Filed: 1904-06-17
Granted: 1905-05-04
Abstract: 13,752. Halpin, D. June 17. Water and other liquid levels, indicating.-The apparatus is described as applied to steam generators, and illustrated for Lancashire and vertical boilers, but may be modified to serve for open vessels. In the former application, tubes C, V, which communicate respectively with the steam space at B and with the water space at or about the lowest permissible water level, are connected in one modification to the two limbs of a U-tube containing mercury or other dense liquid, and arranged in a vertical or inclined position. This U-tube is shown separately in Fig. 2. A settling-chamber may be fitted to the connecting-pipes, if desired. The tube C will always be full of water condensed from the boiler steam, and will maintain a constant pressure in the arm C' of the U-tube ; the pressure in the arm V<1> will vary with the height of the water surface above the point D. Such variations will affect the level of liquid in the U-tube, of which one arm C' is partly constituted by a glass tube to permit observation. In a modification, the tubes C, V communicate with separate' pressure gauges of the Bourdon or other type, the moving parts of which are coupled together in opposition, so that any motion of the index will indicate a variation of pressure-difference due to alteration of water level. As applied to open vessels under atmospheric pressure, the pipe with constant head is open at the top, and has a small quantity of oil floating on the water to prevent evaporation of the column.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Operating Mechanism from a Distance by Means of Luminous or Electrical Waves
Inventor: GABET GUSTAVE
Filed: 1905-08-31
Granted: 1906-02-15
Abstract: 17,645. Gabet, C. Oct. 26, 1904, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Signals, electric.-Relates to apparatus for controlling an engine or signal or other mechanism by means of luminous or electric waves. A palletwheel, driven by. clock-work, is advanced by one pallet by each received train of waves. Some of the pallets carry a sinuous path of insulating- material, in which circulates a drop of mercury which closes the circuit of the selected control. Fig. 1 shows the pallet-wheel mounted on the spindle '7, each pallet corresponding to a control having a sinuous glass tube 11, Fig. 2, containing a drop of mercury 12, adapted to connect electrically the two wires 15, 19 at the points 13, 14. The wire 15 is connected to a ring 16 and a brush 17 supplying the necessary current. The wire 19 is connected to a ring segment 20, Figs. 2 and 5, partially embedded in an insulating washer 21. When the projection 22 is opposite the brush 23, current passes from the brush 17 through the wire 15, mercury 12, wire 19, ring 20, and the brush 23, assuming that the mercury has reached the end of the tube 11. The desired control is thus effected. In order to show the operator the position of the pallet-wheel at any moment, the latter has a ring of copper 24, Fig. 1, provided at intervals with insulating strips 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31. Two spring brushes in the circuit of an incandescent lamp bear on this ring 24, so that the lamp goes out when the insulating strips pass between the brushes. The two strips 29, 30 corresponding to a pallet are placed close together, so that, by counting the successive eclipses since the double eclipse due to the pallet, the operator can tell the exact position of the wheel. The drop of mercury takes an appreciable time, say four seconds, to fall the whole length of the tube, so that the operator is notified, by counting the eclipses, that an operation is about to take place some few seconds before its execution, and he still has time to rectify operative errors or to nullify unauthorized operations before they have time to act. This he effects by sending another train of waves so as to move the pallet-wheel another step forward.
