Title: An Improved Apparatus for Prevention of Smoke and for Economizing the Consumption of Fuel in Furnaces and other Combustion Chambers.
Filed: 1911-02-21
Granted: 1912-02-15
Abstract: 4415. Storey Smoke Consumer & Fuel Economizer Co. Aug. 27,1910, [Convention date]. Smoke - consuming.- In steam-generator furnaces means are provided in the flues for maintaining the separation of the light and heavy combustion products and for returning the light products to the furnace and discharging the heavy products to the atmosphere. The invention is described and shown applied to various types of steam boilers. In the marine type of boiler and furnace shown in Figs. 2 and 3, the smoke-box is divided by partitions 11, 12 into upper and lower compartments 9, 10 communicating by openings 13 which may be regulated by slides 14, as shown in Fig. 4. The lighter combustion products enter the upper compartments 9 and are drawn off through pipes 22 by a steam injector, as shown, or by a fan or pump and delivered to the ash-pit. The heavier products are drawn from the lower compartment 10 and through the passage 18 to the chimney 19 in which is arranged a fan, steam-jet, pump or other suction device, and discharged into the atmosphere. The partition 11 is provided with hinged doors or covers 29 which may be opened to permit the gases to escape freely to the chimney when the furnace is lighting up. In the application of the invention to a Stirling boiler, the ordinary baffle walls 31, Fig. 5, are provided with holes 34 through which some or all of the dense gases pass on their way to the flue 32, which is provided with a fan 33. The lighter gases ascend, and are drawn off through flues 22 and delivered to the ash-pit. A partition 37, having openings 38 in or at the ends of it, serves to maintain the separation of the light and heavy gases at the rear of the furnace. Fig. 7 shows the application of the invention to a Lancashire boiler. The lighter gases are drawn off by pipes 22 from the upper parts of the rear ends of the flues and delivered to the ash-pit, and the heavier gases are drawn off from the lower parts of the flues through outlet passages 40. Partitions 42, which may be perforated in or near their forward and rear ends, serve to maintain the separation of the gases

Abstract: 8257. Harvey, W. R. April 3. Plates and the like, travelling.-Advertising- tablets t, in operative connexion with a cashregister, till, &c. are advanced and returned by means of sliding bodies 15, 16, connected together so as to move in opposite directions simultaneously. Lamps are switched on during the period of display only. When a cashdrawer p is withdrawn, a carrier 16 is moved from its lowest position and carries up a tablet t on its upper end 29 until the tablet slides off on to an incline 19 with or without the aid of a spring 30, and descends to the displayposition, while a holder 15 on the other end of the connecting-band 14, descending with the previously-displayed tablet, makes a contact 36 in the lamp circuit 35 and deposits the tablet it carries into an inclined groove 7, where it takes up the rear position. On the return of the drawer p, a spring drum 28 reverses the travel of the holders 15, 16, causing the holder 16 to take up the tablet next to be displayed, and the holder 15 the tablet already in display. According to the Provisional Specification, a spring in the guideway 7 may press the tablets towards the carrier 16.

Title: Improvements in Automatic Train Stops and Recorders.
Inventor: MCCOLLUM JAMES HARRY KEIGHLY
IPC: B61L3/02
Filed: 1911-05-23
Granted: 1912-05-23
Abstract: 12,422. McCollum, J. H. K. May 23. Track apparatus for stopping trains; recording signals. - In apparatus of the type in which a valve is opened at each track ramp to apply the brakes unless a second valve is closed by an electro - magnet receiving current from the track ramp, means are provided to keep the first valve open if danger exists, but to replace this valve if the line is clear. The state of the signals passed is recorded on a paper strip by a s t y l u s actuated from a rotor driven by the air escaping from the brake pipe. The valve 17 is similar to t h a t described in Specification 16,541/09. As the train passes a ramp 62, the shoe 26 is rocked, opening a valve casing 17 to atmosphere and pushing the piston 43 into its cylinder. If the section ahead is occupied, the circuit of the electromagnets 59, 9, 47 is open at the switch 65<a> and the valves 55, 4 remain in the position shown, and air from the train pipe 1 escapes through the valve 4, passage 12, pipe 19, and valve 17. Air passing out from the passage 12 drives the rotor 15 and actuates the stylus 72 to cause it to draw a line on the paper on the clock-driven drum 84 at approximately rightangles to the helical line normally drawn. The stylus is stopped by the head 77 of the pin 74 and is returned by springs 75. The valve 17 is held open by the pin 48 until the magnet 47 is energized by current collected from a linewire in connexion with the ramp by the hooked handle 70 when the signal is set to clear. When the circuit through the magnets is completed, the magnet 47 withdraws the stop 48, the magnets 9 placed within the valve casing close the valve 4, thereby shutting off the traiupipe, and the magnet 59 lifts the valve 55 to pass air from the pipe 54 to the cylinder 42 to reset the valve 17. If the signal is at clear when the train reaches the ramp 62, the magnets on the train are energized, the trainpipe is closed by the valve 4, and the shoe 26 is at once reset. A slight movement is given to the stylus by the movement of the rotor caused by the air which enters to refill the valve chamber 17. The shoe 26 is constructed with air passages connected through the spindle with the interior of the valve 17, so that breakage of the shoe causes application of the brakes.
