Title: Improvements relating to the Gathering or Extraction of Definite Quantities of Molten Glass from Tanks or Pot Furnaces and Delivering the same to Moulds or other Receptacles.
Filed: 1902-06-25
Granted: 1902-08-28
Abstract: 14,441. Miller, L., and Trades Progress Co. June 25. Measured quantities, delivering.-Relates to apparatus for collecting a measured quantity of glass from a furnace and delivering it to a mould or other receptacle. Rails A adjustable in height by screws A' are arranged close to the furnace. A travelling carriage B running on the rails carries a tube F<2> on the ends of which the gathering heads G are mounted. The tube is mounted on a head F which can be rocked on a pivot F' and is also capable of rotation. The carriage is driven by a compressed-air engine by means of a rack which actuates spur-wheels mounted on the carriage, one of which gears with a fixed rack D<5>. Compressed air is supplied through a pipe P to the various parts of the apparatus, and the pipe O<2> is connected to an exhaust. The action of the apparatus is as follows :-The movement of the lever M<5> operates valves and admits air to the engine cylinder, causing the carriage to move to the left so as to introduce the gathering head G into the furnace. An arm R<3> strikes an adjustable stop (not shown) and thus move levers K<2>, K, causing the head to be lowered into the glass, the rocking movement of the tube F' at the same time causing it to be put into communication with the exhaust so that the glass is drawn into the head. When the head is filled, a valve is operated and allows a rod &c. enclosed in the tube F<2> to move longitudinally, thus reversing the supply of air to the cylinder so that the carriage begins to move backwards. The spring G<4> , acting through rods G<6>, G<5>, closes the cover G<8> of the head G, and, when the arm K<3> is free from the stop, the springs O<7> return the tube F<2> &c. to a horizontal position. The head F and its connected parts are next turned through an angle of 180‹, bringing the filled head G over the mould &c. Y. The traverse of the carriage causes the tail-piece G<9> of the cover G<8> to strike a stop H<1> so as to open the head, and compressed air is automatically supplied through the tube F<2> so as to expel the glass. The sequence of operations is then repeated to fill the opposite head G.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Regulating Apparatus for Maintaining Constant Pressure and Water Level in Steam Generators.
Inventor: DEPREZ MARCEL
Filed: 1904-07-01
Granted: 1905-01-12
Abstract: 14,831. Deprez, M., and Verney, J. July 1. Dampers.-In a a draught-regulating apparatus specially applicable to steam generators working with a small quantity of water and using the furnace described in Specification No. 26,700, A.D. 1902, a rise of pressure causes a valve a loaded by a weighted lever g to. open, thus admitting steam to a cylinder j, the resulting motion of a piston k which moves within it being communicated to the damper n. The rod actuating the damper also moves a double piston sliding in the chamber p, into which the feed is pumped through the tube 1, other tubes 2, 3 communicating respectively with the boiler and feed-tank. When the damper n is closed, evaporation ceases, and the feed is accordingly shut off from the boiler by the upper piston and passes back through the tube 3 to the feed-tank. When the pressure falls, the valve a closes, the steam in the cylinder j condenses or may be allowed slowly to escape through a small hole controlled by a screw tap, and the piston k is returned to its original position by a spring l, the former conditions being thus restored. In a modification, shown in Fig. 2, the valve-rod a is atttached to an iron core q, which will be attracted by an iron screw s carrying the iron casing t whenever an electric current is passed through a solenoid r. The circuit is made as soon as the liquid in a manometer column reaches a predetermined level. The feed supply must in each case be first adjusted for continuous working.
