Title: Improvements in Coke Trucks, Barrows or Conveyors.
IPC: B60P1/04
Filed: 1909-11-03
Granted: 1910-08-18
Abstract: 25,302. Dempster &. Sons, R., and Toogood, H. J. Nov. 3. Tip-wagons.-Coke trucks, barrows, or conveyers, especially adapted for carrying away coke discharged from horizontal or inclined retorts, comprise flatbottomed or other trays or plates which are pivoted at their centres of gravity and connected to togglejointed operating-levers, whereby the inner ends of the trays may be raised for discharging the load at the sides of the truck. The truck frame comprises channel-irons a connected to transverse angle-irons c and end frames d. The trays k are connected to cranked cross-bars j, the ends of which are hung from the frames d by links i. The operating-gear comprises toggle-levers q connected at their lower ends to bars l, which are secured to the inner ends of the trays k and guided in slots f in the end frames of the truck, and at their upper ends to operating-levers n pivoted at m. Fig. 1 shows the position of the parts for loading, and Fig. 2 shows the inner ends of the trays raised for discharging. When the operating-gear is in the extreme position shown in these Figures, the three centres p, m, rare in a vertical line, so that there is no tendency for the levers n, q to move; but further security may be obtained by arranging the parts so that the lever q is moved slightly beyond these dead-centre positions. A modification is described in which the truck is provided with a single tray arranged to discharge at one side only. The truck may be provided with four curved bars h, placed one in front and one behind each pair of wheels and adapted to scrape or pass close to the rails so as to remove pieces of coke which may lodge thereon. By arranging such trucks to travel to their discharging point with the trays at the same elevations as those at which the coke is received from the retorts, the charges from the upper retorts may be piled on top of those from the lowest retorts, so that the coke is stored in heaps of greater depth than hitherto, thus economizing the labour necessary for shovelling the. coke into high stacks.

Granted: 1911-05-18
Abstract: 27,180. Junggren, O. Nov. 23, 1909, [Convention date]. Regulating.-Relates to turbines adapted to utilize low-pressure steam such as the exhaust from a high-pressure turbine, and also high-pressure steam directly when the load conditions are such that the low-pressure supply is insufficient. The low-pressure turbine 8 is normally supplied with low-pressure steam through a pipe 9, and, when required, by high-pressure steam through a pipe 10. The supply of high-pressure steam is controlled by a number of valves 34, while the supply of low-pressure steam is controlled by a single butterfly valve in the pipe 9. A speedregulating governor operates a rod 18 controlling a servo-motor 12, which rotates a shaft 29 through a rack-and-pinion gear. The valves 34 are actuated by cams on the shaft 29. On the further end of the shaft 29 is a cam 38, which operates. a rod 41 connected to the spindle of the low-pressure steam valve by rack-and-pinion gear. The various cam-grooves are so arranged that the high-pressure valves 34 remain closed until the low-pressure valve is fully opened. Upon a further demand for steam, the highpressure valves are opened in succession. The valve in the pipe 9 also acts as an emergency valve. A rod 54 is connected to an emergency governor and is adapted to release a latch 53, whereupon a weighted lever 50, loosely mounted upon the valve spindle, falls. Its first action is to disengage the segmental gear 43 (part of the normal operating-mechanism) from the valve spindle. Its second action is to engage a lever 55 secured to the valve spindle, whereupon the valve is closed. A resetting-handle is fitted to the lever 55. A special emergency valve 10<a>, similarly operated, is fitted in the high-pressure steam conduit 10.

Rotary interrupters; regulating switches.- The end contacts of a rotary interrupter are connected to the negative lead of the supply system when the speed of the interrupter reaches a predetermined value by means of a governor-actuated switch; sparking at the contacts is reduced by breaking the circuit simultaneously at a number of points arranged in series. To vary the periods of make and break, the drum upon which the contacts are mounted is divided into two parts capable of being turned relatively to one another. In the arrangement shown in Figs. 2 and 3, a drum b, carrying a series of conducting-segments c, is mounted on a spindle a driven by a motor h. 'The end contacts c are connected to a conducting-sleeve i, which is engaged by a conducting- sleeve j when the spindle a reaches a predetermined speed by means of a governor consisting of springs m and weights n. The brushes d are mounted on a frame, and are held in engagement with the drum b by means of springs g. In a modification, the interrupter is in the form of an electro - magnetic switch having two armatures one at each end of the core.
