Title: Improvements in Furnace Doors.
Inventor: SCOTT JOHN
IPC: F23M7/00
Filed: 1911-07-25
Granted: 1912-06-27
Abstract: 17,022. Scott, J. July 25. Doors. - Relates to hollow furnace doors of the kind through which air flows and becomes heated before passing into the furnace at a low level above the grate, and consists in providing such doors with a hollow axle communicating with the hollow door and having means for regulating and distributing the flow of air through the door. The form of door shown in Figs. 1 and 2 comprises an outer plate a and an inner baffle-plate b connected bv bolts c to form a chamber d communicating with the hollow axle l, the supply of air to which is controlled by adjustable disks p mounted in the balance weights n. The flow of air through the door is evenly distributed by a baffle-plate m, which is of increasing width towards its ends, and in addition, deflectors or baffles may be arranged transversely within the hollow axle. The door may be held in any desired position by a pin r which engages with holes in one of the balance weights. The air escapes from the chamber d through holes k. To prevent air from entering the furnace above or at the sides of the door, a covering-plate s, which forms a joint with a projecting lip t on the door axle, is mounted on the top of the door frame, and a bead or projecting strip against which the door closes is formed on the inner part of each side of the frame. In the modification shown in Fig. 6, the air supply through the axle is regulated by a rotary valve w, the forward edge of which is curved, as shown in Fig. 8, so that the communicating passage between the axle and door chamber is contracted at the ends. The air enters the furnace through apertures formed by slotting the lower wall of the door chamber and the lower edge of the plate b, the two sets of slots being out of register. ' Instead of admitting air direct from the stokehold into the hollow axle, air may be led to the axle from a space inside or outside the furnace front by conduits 2, as shown in Fig. 9, the conduits being formed with hollow bosses 2* which fit into openings in the balance weights n in line with the axle of the door. In applying the invention to a door mounted on a vertical axle, air is led to the axle by a conduit 2, Fig. 12, provided with a valve 5, and enters the chamber in the door, which is divided by a baffle 7 of increasing height towards the axle end of the door into two compartments. The air enters the outer compartments, passes over the baffle, and escapes from the inner compartment through perforations k. The door plate a is formed around the inner plate b with a recess containing asbestos tape or other packing which makes a tight joint with a flange on the door frame.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Apparatus for Extinguishing Fires.
Inventor: ADAMS DANIEL WEISINGER
IPC: A62C13/00
Filed: 1911-11-14
Granted: 1912-02-01
Abstract: 25,370. Adams, D. W. Nov. 23, 1910, [Convention date]. Extincteurs; fire-extinguishing by solutions.- Alkali is supplied to a mixing-tank 1 from one or more reservoirs through a hose 38 and a cut-off valve 24, and acid is supplied to the tank from a vessel 2 through a measuring-tube 12, the alkali and acid being automatically fed to the tank when the pressure therein falls below a certain point. The alkali is forced into the tank by means of compressed air from a container connected to the supply reservoir. By opening a cock 11, acid is allowed to flow into the measuring-tube 12, and, when the alkaline solution has filled the tank 1 and is subjected to air pressure, a double ball valve 14<a> is lifted, thus allowing the acid to enter the tank 1. The increased pressure thus caused lifts the double ball valve against its upper seating 13, thus cutting off the supply of acid, and the alkali is cut off by a check valve 22. When the pressure in the tank 1 is exhausted, these valves open, and the operation of recharging takes place automatically. When required more particularly for extinguishing forest fires, the apparatus is mounted on the pack-saddle of a horse, and a series of alkali - supply reservoirs, similarly mounted on horses, are connected to the mixing- tank by a common hose. In the modification shown in Fig. 11, the double ball valve controlling the supply of acid is replaced by two valves 55, 56, which are connected by segmental gearing 58, 59 and are operated through rack and pinion gear 61 from a piston 51, which is controlled by a spring 70 and by the pressure in the mixing-tank 1. The piston-rod is extended below the piston 51 to operate the alkalisupply valve.

Abstract: 5166. Sleat, J. F. March 1. Automatic - feed weighers. - Relates to a liquid-meter for weighing petrol and light oils, of the type wherein a rotating wheel carries a set of buckets the contents of which are weighed in succession by a weigh-beam engaging projections on the buckets. The invention comprises means for balancing the buckets about the axis of rotation and a device for giving a quick release of the buckets when the correct weight of liquid has entered. A tank a, Fig. 3, contains the rotating buckets e adjustable on supporting-arms by means of screws j. When the buckets are not adjustable, adjustment is made by means of hollow disks mounted on screws within the buckets. Each bucket, as it assumes the right-hand position shown in Fig. 3, rests with a projection h on a roller r which is suspended from a weigh-beam i so as to have movement only towards the fulcrum of the beam. The liquid runs into the tank from a stationary pipe v until the weight of liquid pushes back the roller r, whereupon the projection h suddenly escapes and the buckets rotate, the filled bucket discharging into the tank a and the next bucket assuming the vacated position on the weigh-beam.

Abstract: 18,888. Brantingham, G., and Brantingham, W. S. Aug. 17. Inertia governors; fluid relays.-A marineengine governor of the type controlled by the pitching of the ship, comprises in combination a pendulum d or like inertia device and an auxiliary engine a which has a ported piston with an internal slide valve, the travel of the slide valve under the action of the inertia governor d determining the stroke of the ported piston, which directly actuates the throttle valve of the main engine or, as shown in Fig. 1, may operate the slide valve of a second similar relay engine b, the piston of which works the throttle valve. The relay engines comprise a hollow piston m<3> with ports m<1>, m<2> opening on opposite sides of the piston and adapted to be covered by a slide valve with collars l<1>, l<2>. In operation, the pendulum, in swinging due to rising of the stern of the ship, operates the slide valve and opens the ports in the piston so that compressed air entering through the pipe a<4>, Fig. 1, which has a sliding connexion with the pipe m<4> upon the piston, passes through the channels m<5>, m<6> in the piston to the space l<3> between the collars l<1>, l<2> and so through the open port to one side of the piston which is in consequence moved, the other side of the piston being open to exhaust through the hole l<4> in the slide-valve rod which communicates as shown with the hollow piston-rod m and so with the atmosphere. Instead of a pendulum, a mercury tube, a rocking lever, or a tiltable bucket supplied with liquid, shot, or the like may be employed. The pendulum is prevented from tilting in the opposite direction by a stop. According to the Provisional Specification a slot connexion between the pendulum and the slide valve of the auxiliary engine allows an inoperative tilting of the pendulum in one direction.
