Abstract: 22,247. Thompson. W. P., [Badische Maschinenfabrik and Eisengiesserei vorm G. Sebold und Sebold & Neff]. Oct. 20. [Patent of Addition to No. 22,246, A.D. 1908.] Sand-blast.-A sand-blast nozzle of the type described in Specification No. 22,246, A.D. 1908, is arranged in a rotary drum for cleaning castings so as to be angularly adjustable, in order that the blast may be delivered perpendicularly to the position of repose of the castings. The slotted discharge nozzle c, Fig. 2, with the air and sand feed pipes a, l, is held between circular plates e, f, which revolve between curved angle-irons g, h, concentric with the axis of the drum. Air is delivered through a stationary supply pipe co-axial with the drum, and then through an inclined connecting- pipe k carried by the plate e to the pipe a. Sand is delivered from a hopper m carried by the plate f along a feed-pipe l by a conveyer-worm n. The spent sand falls through the perforations in the drum and through a sieve o into a chamber, from which it is conveyed by a worm p and an elevator to the hopper m.

Title: Improvements in Liquid Fuel Burners.
Inventor: MAVROGORDATO FRANCOIS EUSTRATI
IPC: F23D11/44
Filed: 1909-01-28
Granted: 1910-01-06
Abstract: 2083. Mavrogordato, F. E. Jan. 28. Atmospheric vapour burners; vaporizing-apparatus.-Relates to hydrocarbon heating-apparatus, especially for domestic purposes, of the kind in which the fuel-supply regulator and the gas outlet are regulatable simultaneously. The invention consists in the needle regulator being operated internally and axially of the fuel-supply pipe. The fuel passes from a reservoir a to an injector d' by way of the pipe c and a vaporizing-tube d, which is bent into a ring and is placed under the flange of a metallic basin y. The orifice e of the injector d<1> is controlled by a needle valve f, of which the stem g is fixed to a sleeve i by a screw n. The sleeve i is provided with a key h and can turn in a support k fixed to the frame of the apparatus. The support k is made with a helicoidal slot m, which engages the screw n. The sleeve i is also made with a cam x which bears on one end of a pivoted lever u. The other end of this lever supports a rod t upon which rests the cap q of the burner. The cap q is made with vertical openings r and moves freely in the upper end of the body o, being guided by the tube s. On turning the key h to open the injector orifice e, the cap q is raised so as to utilize more of the openings r and thus maintain a regular flame. The surface of the basin y prevents the tube d from becoming too hot when the openings r, e are fully open, and when used with reduced openings the tube d is maintained at the necessary temperature. The apparatus may be used for chafing-dishes, kitchen stoves, and calorific grates.

Granted: 1909-12-16
Abstract: 14,120. Siemens Bros. & Co., [Siemens & Halske Akt.-Ges.]. June 16. Mercury switches.-In mercury switches, for the control of railway points and signals, actuated by the deflexion of a rail on the passage of a train, the diaphragm which transmits the rail pressure to the mercury is constructed in the form of a strong metal plate or cover, so dimensioned that the counteracting force of the mercury does not affect its shape. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the mercury chamber consists of two stout plates 5, 7, fixed between the rail 1 and a girder 2, by means of clamps 3 and bolts. An enlargement 9 on the upper plate contains the contact chamber 11, which is connected to the pressure chamber 8 by a channel 10. On the deflexion of the rail, mercury flows up the tube 10, enters the cup 11, and makes contact with the contact 12. Modifications are shown in which (1) the upper plate is massive while the lower one is considerably thinner, an additional protecting-casing resting on the girder; and (2) the girder itself forms the lower plate. In the form shown in Fig. 6, the pressure plate 5 is not directly under the rail 1, but an intermediate dished pressure piece 17 is provided, the girder 2 being similarly shaped. Between the rail 1 and the stamp 17, a calotte-shaped piece 18 may be interposed to allow a rigid seating between the rail 1 and stamp 17. In an example, a pressure plate 25 mm. in thickness is employed with a reservoir 240 mm. in diameter.

Abstract: 23,537. Carlshausen, A. L. C. de. Oct. 14. [Addition to 13,102/08.] Metallic spring bodies and cores; tyre attachments to rims.-Relates to improvements in the spring coil tyre described in the parent Specification, in which the coils are of constant crosssectional area but flattened at the tread of the tyre. According to the present invention, the tyre is formed by making transverse, oblique, or zigzag incisions in steel or other flexible metal tubes which may be complete or circumferentially split, as in Fig. 15, or by attaching separate spring rings to a metal base. In some cases the tyre comprises two oppositely-disposed comb-like portions such as shown in Fig. 18, joined at the base. The use of the internal corrugated strengthening - bands described in Specification 13,182/08, is stated to be unnecessary with these constructions. In all forms, the coils or rings are of constant cross-sectional area and flattened at the tread like the coils described in the parent Specification. The sides of the tyre may be ribbed circumferentially and grooved to provide beads for attachment to the rim and to strengthen the tyre as shown in Fig. 20. When two-part rims are used to hold the tyres, the two parts are provided with interengaging ribs and grooves a, or projections and recesses. The tyre g may be strengthened laterally and radially by internal solid or hollow 'metal or other bands d<1>, Fig. 22, by internal spring-supported flat metal bands h, Fig. 24, or by external extensions p of the rim, Fig. 26. The tyre may also be provided with internal coils or bands s; Fig. 29, of any section, which may be secured to the rings or coils by. clips.

Abstract: 1786. Rouzet, J. M. A. Jan. 24. Cradles are rocked by means of a hand-wound spring adapted to oscillate through gearing a pulley arranged to rock the cradle by means of a belt. Fixed by screws 5 to a fixed cross-beam of the cradle, which if of iron is provided with blocks 7, is a frame 9, having side cheeks and a sheet-metal casing 45, provided with a door 46, and enclosing the mechanism. A spring, having its ends respectively attached to the frame and to a spindle 11, is adapted to be wound up by a handle 16 operating through bevel-wheels 18, 19 and a spur-wheel fixed on the spindle 11. Also fixed on this spindle is a ratchet-wheel 13 adapted, as the spring unwinds, to drive a gear-wheel mounted loose on the spindle 11, and provided with gravity pawls 15. Motion is thus transmitted, through a train of wheels, to a crank-disk' 30, from which a grooved pulley 32 is oscillated by a connecting-rod 31. Attached to the pulley is a belt 33, joined preferably by press-buttons 36, which is secured to two eye-bolts 35 fixed in the bottom of the cradle. The amount of oscillation is varied by altering the radial position of the block 39 in the slot 40 by means of the screw 41.

Abstract: 16,904. Lichtenfeld, S. July 15. Burglar alarms.-Relates to electric floor-contact apparatus of the kind wherein conductive strips of opposite polarity are provided with spring contacts adapted on pressure to bridge across adjacent strips and thus complete the circuit of a battery through an alarm. The invention consists in arranging the conductors so that those of one polarity intercalate with those of the opposite polarity without crossing.
