Granted: 1909-11-18
Abstract: 8919. Soc. Anon. Chaudronneries P. Brouhon, and Oosterwyck, J. van. April 15. Sectional boilers.-In a boiler built up - of elements consisting of superposed horizontal drums connected by vertical junction-pieces, the drums of adjacent elements are so connected laterally that the water is caused to traverse the whole length of each upper drum before passing to the next drum. The junction-pieces c. between the upper and lower drums a, b, are surmounted by downtake pipes e extending to the normal water-level in the upper drums, and by steam-pipes d, which connect the steamspaces in the upper and lower drums. In a boiler built up of two elements, Figs. 1 and 2, only one downtake pipe e shown arranged at the back end of the right-hand element, is used. The feed enters at the back end of the drum of the left-hand element, which communicates with the right-hand element through front connexions p. The water thus traverses the whole length of both drums before overflowing the downtake pipe e and entering the lower drums. In a boiler built up of three elements, the feed enters at the back end of the top drum of the central element and flows through the front con. nexions to the side top drums, which are provided with downtake pipes arranged as described above. Hinged partitions h divide the waterspaces of the boiler into compartments containing volumes of water gradually increasing in temperature towards the compartments immediately over the furnace. The partitions preferably carry plates k extending above the water-level and separated from the partitions by distance-pieces in order to prevent, in conjunction with rings r around the downtake pipe e, scum from circulating with the water and flowing into the lower drums. The gases flow through the flues in the opposite direction to the flow of water in the drums.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Sights for Guns and the like.
IPC: F41G1/393
Filed: 1909-05-28
Granted: 1910-03-31
Abstract: 12,672. London Small Arms Co., and Bennett, F. W. May 28. Sights.-Relates to aperture back-sights of the folding type, in which an arm carrying a socket is pivoted and locked in position at the side of the gun, the socket containing a rotating sliding pillar, at the upper end of which is pivoted a lateral arm carrying an adjustable sight. The invention consists mainly in improvements in the adjusting-means, and in the construction, whereby the folding-down of the sight is facilitated. The pillar f slides in the socket c for coarse adjustment, and is held by a spring catch l capable of being released by a push-button. Rotation of the pillar is prevented by the engagement of a stud on the socket with a slot g in the pillar. The lateral arm o, which carries the aperture sight p, is pivoted to a spindle j sliding within the pillar f ; fine adjustment is obtained by raising or lowering this spindle by means of a nut k. Lateral adjustment for windage is obtained in a similar manner by means of a nut o<3> and a screwed spindle o<2>. The pivot of the arm o is provided with a spring catch for holding it in either the operative or folded position. To facilitate close folding of the sight, the slot g, which prevents rotation of the pillar, has a cross extension g<2>, which communicates with a second slot on the other side so that the pillar can, when desired, be turned through 180 degrees. When the sight is put out of use, the cross-arm o is first turned up parallel to the pillar; this pillar is then rotated through 180 degrees and the whole sight is turned down so as to lie at the side of the action. To facilitate reading the scale, the spindle j is provided with a vernier m<1>, Fig. 3, which slides in a graduated slot m in the pillar, and is seen through a slot in the socket. A vernier o<4>, Fig. 6, is also provided on the windgauge slide. In the construction shown, this vernier can be adjusted to its zero position by a differential screw q. Similar adjusting-means may also be provided for the other vernier.

Granted: 1910-03-10
Abstract: 24,990. Lake, W. E., [Goss Printing Press Co.]. Oct. 30. Printing-surfaces.-In mechanism for clamping stereotyped plates upon a printing-cylinder, means are provided for pneumatically operating the clamps simultaneously to engage the edge of the plate and lock it in position. Fig. 1 is a section through a portion of the cylinder, Fig. 3 is an end view of the cylinder, and Fig. 5 is a section through the line 5-5 of Fig. 1. The plates 9, one only of which is shown, are fixed in position by the clamps 25, 25<a>. A carriage 10, sliding in a longitudinal groove in the cylinder, has formed integral with it an air-cylinder 19 containing a piston 20, the pistonrod of which has rack-bars 22 mounted upon each side of it, as shown in Fig. 5. Toothed sectors 23, pivoted on opposite sides of the carriage 10, engage the rack-bars 22, and are connected by links 28 with the clamp 25, which may slide freely on a screw 13, threaded through the carriage 10 and having bearings in the cylinder end 14 and body of the cylinder. A spring 18 is interposed between the cylinder end and a collar 17 on the screw 13. The clamps 25, 25<a> slide in grooves in the cylinder, and are secured to, or formed integral with, a yoke 24 which embraces the cylinder. The clamps 25<a> are supported upon screws 27, which pass freely through the clamps, and have bearings similar to the screw 13. By turning the screw 13 by hand, the clamps 25, 25<a> are adjusted for different widths of plates. The clamps are operated simultaneously in the following manner. The shaft 29, Fig. 3, of the cylinder is provided with a central passage 30, to which compressed air from a suitable source is led. The passage 30 opens into passages 31 which extend radially of the hub of the cylinder, and are connected by pipes 32 with valve-casings 38. The valve-casing is provided with two diametrically opposed ports 39, 40, Fig. 4, connected by pipes 35, 34 with flexible pipes 37, 36, which are connected to the opposite ends of the air-cylinder 19. The valve 43 has three ports 45, 46, 47 at intervals of ninety degrees and also a recess 48 by which the pipes 35, 34 may be placed in communication with the atmosphere through ports 41, 42. To operate the clamps simultaneously, the valve is turned to the position shown in Fig. 4, thus admitting air through the pipes 34, 36 to the outer side of the piston 20 which moves to the right, thereby rocking the sectors 23 and forcing the clamp 25, 25<a> against the plate 9. To release the clamps, the valve is turned through 180 degrees to admit air to the inner end of the cylinder. The radius of the sectors 23 is such that, when the clamps abut against the edge of the plate 9, the lines 28 are in the position shown in dotted lines in Fig. 1, thereby locking the clamps in position.
