Gas-producers.-Apparatus of large dimensions is constructed in such a way as to distribute the air and steam through every part of the fuel and to allow ready removal of the lower or fuel-containing part of the furnace. In the form shown in Fig.1, steam is generated in a ring-shaped boiler 14, and passes, mixed with air, down the pipe 16 into a hollow ring and, issuing through a number of holes in the inner circumference of the latter, comes into contact with the fuel. Four or any suitable number of outlets 2 for gas are provided, communicating with vertical conduits 3, which lead to a corresponding number of apertures 8 in the bottom of a chamber 4. This chamber is connected to the suction pipe of a gas motor, and contains a revolving slide valve 6, pierced with an aperture 7 of such a size that the openings 8 are uncovered in turn, leaving always a sufficient passage to prevent throttling of the stream of gas. The effect is to change continually the direction of the current of air and steam through the fuel. During the starting of the producer, the valve 6 can be lifted from its seat by drawing back one of the bevel-wheels 10 and screwing the nut 24, thus opening all the outlets. An additional air inlet 18 and a fan 20 are provided to aid in starting the combustion. The ashpit 21 is completely closed off from the outside air during working. The whole of the lower part of the producer is hung by screw bolts 27 from the bed-plate 1, resting on the standards 26. By unscrewing the bolts, it can be lowered on to a truck 28, the weight being temporarily taken by screw supports 30.

Title: Improvements in Paper Ruling Machines.
Inventor: BARBER ARTHUR LAMBERT
Filed: 1905-05-30
Granted: 1906-03-08
Abstract: 11,254. Barber, A. L. May 30. Ruling - machines &c. - Relates to means for mounting the ink-flannels on the pens of ruling-machines, to the mounting of the pen-holders, and to means for preventing the paper or the like from being uneven during the ruling operation, and forms improvements on the invention described in Specification No. 27,772, A.D. 1904. The flannels 15 are held upon the pins 13 by hook-devices 14 which grip but do not prevent the flow of ink. One flannel may supply several pens. A slideway 16 on the penholder traverses a slide 17, carried by a shank 18, when operated by a screw 19. Backlash of the latter is prevented by retaining the screw-bead 19<a> against a bearing 20. This is accomplished by a bowed spring 22, the end 22<a> of which rests spring- wise against a bearing 23. The slide 16 also has springs 24, Fig. 9, which grip the slide 17 at its sides, and a spring 25 the end 25<a> of which bears on the underside of the slide 17. These springs prevent play or irregular movement of the slide 16. A roller &c. 28, Fig. 10, with or without a weight 32 and placed before or behind the pens, prevents wrinkling of the paper. The roller or its equivalent may be carried from the pen-slide of the machine, but preferably from a rod 30. The Provisional Specification states that in some cases a roller device such as 28 may also form a ruling- disk, in which case it is inked in the usual way. It also describes means for preventing ink from flowing between pens very closely adjoining and thus becoming " blind." A sliding device is carried upon the two or more pens and has projections travelling between or against the sides of the pens. By sliding this device, the points of the pens are opened or closed. The device also maintains the true alinement of the pens.

Granted: 1905-11-09
Abstract: 11,337. Kingsbury, J. E., [Western Electric Co.]. May 30. Couplings; switches; cut-outs. -Relates to safety apparatus for use in connexion with electric tramways and railways, in which portable telephone or other instruments can be connected to the telephone or other line wires at certain points along the route. In order to prevent the users of such instruments from being subjected to severe shocks from hightension circuits, with which the telephone circuits may be accidentally crossed, the flexible cord of the telephone instrument is provided with an additional conductor connected at one end to the frame of the microtelephone and at the other to a sleeve contact on the connecting jack, so that when the portable instrument is connected to line, a connexion is first completed between the additional conductor and earth, before the other conductors are connected to line. Fig. 1 shows the general arrangement, the telephone line-wires A being connected to the plug connector h, with the tip and ring contacts h<1>, h<2> of which connexion can be made by the jack springs b<1>, b<2>, connected through the repeating-coil c with the circuit of the micro-telephone a. The additional conductor 4 is connected to the frame of the micro-telephone a and is preferably wound spirally around the circuit conductors 1, 2, and extends to a sleeve contact b' of the jack b so that when the jack is placed on the plug h, the sleeve b3 is connected to the earthed coutact-sleeve h<3> before the springs b<1>, b<2> engage the contacts h<1>, h<2>. The plates g<1>, g<2> of a lightning-arrester may be connected to the conductors 1, 2 and the third plate g<3> to the conductor 4. Thus the accidental charge on the line-wires, if strong enough to break down the insulation of the conductors 1, 2, will pass to earth through the conductor 4. Fig. 3 shows the flexible cord, the several conductors being formed of flat steel wire, and the additional conductor 4 being wound outside the ordinary conductors. Fig. 4 shows the practical construction of the connexion terminals at the various points of the line. The plug h is supported by the cross-piece i<2>, and the tip and ring terminals j, j<1> are enclosed in a chamber h<4> to which the line-wires are led through the passages k<4>, k<3> in the supporting-arm k. The groove k<2> allows any collected water to drain away. In the spring-jack connector, Fig. 9, the jack springs b<1>, b<2> are connected to the circuit conductors 1, 2 through fuses o, enclosed in channels formed by micanite strips. The conductor 4 is connected to the strip m<1> and the contact-sleeve b<3>,

Abstract: 24,066. Young, G. C. G., Young, J., and Waddell, M. M. Nov. 22. Processes; spindle apparatus; drawing - frames; roving-frames; slivenrubbing apparatus; spinning-machines with twisting arrangements at delivery. -The process of spinning flax and other yarn described in Specification No. 4394, A.D. 1905, is carried out by first drawing out the rove either in a wet or dry condition and winding it into a roll without twist, then transferring it to a revolving delivery spindle, whereby it is twisted as it is drawn off to be wound into a roll. In the Wet-spinning of flax, the rove is led through a trough C, Fig. 1, drawn by rollers B, dried by passing with a travelling absorbent blanket D round a drying - cylinder D', and finally wound into a roll A<1> by a drum E. Supporting-rollers b, d are provided for the blanket and a longitudinally reciprocated roller b<1> above the rollers b serves to condense the rove and prevent it from lapping on the roller B. Other arrangements are shown, in one the blanket being dispensed with, and in another, two drying-cylinders being employed. When it is not desired to wet the rove, it passes from the drawing - rollers between condensing-rubbers to the roll. The roll A' of untwisted rove is transferred to a spindle F, Fig. 6, which is rotated rapidly to twist the rove as it is drawn off by rollers G, and the fully twisted rove is wound on a roll A<2> by a drum El. A shield H, which may be stationary or driven at any desired speed, surrounds the spindle to prevent excessive ballooning and control the drag. In some cases, the spindle is inverted and the yarn drawn off, through a water trough.
