Granted: 1904-03-10
Abstract: 3220. Clark, W., [Underwood Typewriter Co.]. Feb. 9. Type-writers and like machines. -In a method of pivoting the type-bars so that they may be readily removed, the pivot ends of the bars are mounted in a series of slots A' in the segment A. Each bar has a hook B<1> which is fitted over the pivot C which extends across the slots, and the slots are deep enough to allow the hook B<1> to be lifted clear of the pivot so that the type-bar may be removed. The bars are normally held in place by a toothed sector D which slides on pins or screws A<3> secured to the segment A. A spring E normally holds the sector D so that its teeth D<4> register with the slots A' in the segment A and so prevent the hooks B<1> from leaving the pivot C. To release the bars, the sector D is moved until its notches D<1> register with the slots A<1>, when the bars may be lifted out. The sector D in its normal position serves as a dust shield for the pivots of the bars, the teeth on the sector covering the upper ends of the slots. A key or handle D<5> may be provided for moving the sector.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Gas Producer Plant.
Inventor: WHITFIELD CHARLES
Filed: 1904-04-27
Granted: 1905-05-27
Abstract: 9608. Whitfield, C. April 27. Gas-producers.-In a suction gas-producer plant in which the gas is drawn directly into the cylinder of a gas engine, the gas passes from the generator A through a cooler J, and into the scrubber K by the pipe L. The lower end of the scrubber dips into water in the tank M, and the gas is drawn through the pipe N by each charging-stroke of the engine. At each withdrawal of gas, the water rises, and subsequently falls owing to the producer being open to the atmosphere through the grate. The lower end of the pipe L may also be water-sealed, and other water seals may be introduced. The cooler J is fed automatically from the cistern T. The air for the combustion is taken through a saturator U fitted with a steam ejector, and may be drawn from the atmosphere direct through the valve V or from the superheater L<x> surrounding the pipe L. The saturator also communicates by the pipe G with the producer at a point above the gas outlet, for the purpose of drawing over the gases given off by the newly-fed fuel, and either or both communications may be provided with valves. The mixture thus obtained is delivered into the enclosed ashpit B by the pipe D, the contracted end of which is opposite the end of the pipe C open to the atmosphere. Any excess of gas thus passes away, and any additional air required is drawn in. The steam for the saturator and injectors is preferably obtained from the cooler, for which purpose a portion of the gas from the supplementary scrubber W may be burned below the cooler, of which the central part is, in such case, formed as a flue, the products of combustion passing away by the pipe Y. For starting the engine, the pipe L is provided with a steam injector P.
