Title: Improvements in or relating to Means for Supplying Air to Boiler Furnaces.
Inventor: MCKEE JAMES TENNANT
IPC: F23L9/00
Filed: 1914-01-09
Granted: 1915-01-07
Abstract: 675. McKee, J. T., Powers, T. E., and Tait, J. S. Jan. 9. [Addition to 12,096/13.] Air, supllying; fire-bridges.-In a furnace having air-supplying means as described in the parent Specification, means such as steam or air jets or mechanical means such as pumps, fans, &c. are provided for forcing the air through the air conduits to the furnace. The invention is described and shown as applied to various types of steam-boilers, Figs. 1 and 2 showing a multitubular boiler in which air passes through pipes F, H in the side walls to passages 11, 10 and 13, 12 respectively in the fire-bridge C and returns through passages G, I in the side walls to downwardlydirected nozzles delivering over the fire. Steam is supplied from the boiler by the pipe O to jets T arranged in the nozzles. Air is also supplied through a passage J in one of the side walls to a chamber M in the fire-bridge and is delivered through forwardly-directed nozzles 25, the air being forced through the pipes by a steam jet 26. The invention is also described and shown as applied to an externally-fired boiler, Figs. 7 and 8. The air is forced through a pipe F to a heating-chamber M, provided with baffles 28, arranged in the bridge C. Part of the air passes through the conduit I to the nozzles 18, 23 delivering over the front of the fire, and the remainder passes through pipes 31, 32 to the chamber 33 and forwardlydirected nozzles 25. When applied to a Cornish boiler, the air supplied over the front of the fire is forced through heating - pipes arranged in the walls of the external flues, while the air delivered at the bridge passes through a conduit preferably embedded in the wall of the bottom flue and passes through the boiler flue to a baffled chamber in the bridge. In the application to a Lancashire boiler, the air delivered over the furnace passes through conduits in the external and boiler flues to a chamber in the bridge and returns by conduits in the boiler and external flues to the front of the furnace. The air delivered at the bridge passes through a pipe arranged in the external and boiler flues to a chamber in the bridge from which it is discharged over the fire.

Granted: 1915-07-21
Abstract: 17,322. Wade, H., [New Metals-Process Co.]. July 21. Ore and oxide processes.-In the direct reduc tion of iron ore, a charge of ore and fuel is fed from a preheating-chamber B to a relatively low reducing-chamber A, having an aperture at its lower end for the discharge of unconsumed fuel, metal, &c. in solid form. The preheater consists of an inclined rotary tube opening at its upper end into a chimney and at its lower end into an elbow 4 leading to the reducer A. Ore mixed with coke or charcoal is fed through the tube, and is discharged at intervals into the reducer and distributed evenly by the slide 3 and cone 18. Sufficient air for producing a high temperature in the upper part of the reducer is supplied, preferably under natural draft, through pipes 9, and the reducing-gases are withdrawn through apertures 7<a> and an annular conduit 7, for delivery through the flue 8 to the preheater, where they burn with air admitted by the pipe 11. The domed upper portion of the reducer A is formed with a feedopening 20 for coal or wood. Any unconsumed fuel is returned to the preheater. Specification 17,324/14 is referred to.

Granted: 1915-07-22
Abstract: 17,778. Tjader, R. July 27. Davits; chocks; boat raising and lowering gear.-Quadrant davits are mounted on an inclined track so that they tend to swing to an outboard position whether or not a boat is hang ing from them. The davit 1 has the flanged quadrant 2 rolling on the inclined track 5 having projections 46 which take into recesses on the quadrant to prevent slipping. The falls pass over a pulley 16 on a standard 53 and a pulley 10 on the davit head and round the lower block 11, the standing end being made fast to the davit head. The pin of the lower fall block takes into a slot 20 in an extension of the casing of the upper pulley, so that the davit is automatically brought inboard when the falls are recovered. If the ship lists, the davits on the high side can be hauled out by a topping-list 22 carried round a pulley 24. When the davit has passed the pulley 24, this rope acts as a brake. When the boat is inboard, the keel is engaged by a rotatable recessed member 32, and the gunwale by a hook 39 on the support 38. The member 32 can be operated by link-work from a lever 37 to release the boat by the forward movement of a claw 34. The fall drums and topping- lift drums are loosely mounted on a common shaft operated by a motor. Either of the drums can be clutched to the driving-shaft as required, and brake surfaces are provided having straps and operating- cords.

Abstract: 831. S i e m e n s - Schuckertwerke. Jan. 20, 1914, [Convention date]. [Addition to 17,532/13.] Protective arrangements. -Electric circuits are protected against ' stray waves' by using the circuit-closing arrangement which forms the subject-matter of the parent Specification and comprises a vacuum tube controlled by an oscillatory circuit, together with means for directing or reflecting the energy of the stray wave into the oscillatory circuit. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, the lead l to be protected has a choking-coil d, bv which energy from stray waves is deflected into an earthed resistance path containing a spark-gap f across the terminals of an oscillatory circuit p influencing a vacuum tube g. Ionization then occurs, and current passes through a relay r controlling the trip circuit of an automatic circuit-breaker. A modification having an insulated spark-gap, and a further modification having a condenser instead of a choking-coil for deflecting the straywave energy, are described.

Granted: 1915-10-14
Abstract: 1128. Burger, R. C. Jan: 23. Casting confectionery &c.-A mould particularly intended for the production of filled chocolates comprises a number of sections 1, 2 of rubber &c., coated with celluloid or other flexible glazing- material, clamped between metal end plates by means of bolts passing through holes 6 in the ends of each section. Registration of the sections is effected by holes 4 on one side of each section and pins 5 on the other. The holes 6 are lined with metal ferrules 8. somewhat shorter than the thickness of each section, so that the material of each section is compressed when the sections are clamped together, whereby the sweets are produced without fins and also the separation of the finished article is facilitated owing to the expansion of the moulds upon the release of the clamping-means.
