Title: Improved means for controlling the supply of air to hand fired furnaces
IPC: F23M11/02
Filed: 1943-06-22
Abstract: 566,534. Controlling furnace draught. FEGAN, T. G., and REEVES, H. C. June 22, 1943, Nos. 10025/43 and 2521 /44. [Class 51 (i)] [Also in Groups XXIX -and XXXII] In hand-fired furnaces wherein the opening of the firedoor operates a damper controlling the draught and also a time-lag device operating upon the closing of the door to return the damper in a controlled period of time towards a closed position, the time taken for the damper to return is governed by the time the fire door remains open so that the time is longer the longer the door remains open. In the form shown in Fig. 1, as the fire door 11 is opened, a rod 24 is actuated to rotate an arm 19 loosely mounted on the spindle 16 of a butterfly valve 15 in the air supply conduit 14. As the arm 19 rotates, a shoulder 39 thereon engages with a projection 40 on a counterweighted arm 18 fixed to the spindle 16 and turns the valve to the position indicated at 37. At the same time a piston 30 is raised in the cylinder 31 of a dashpot by a system of links and levers connected to the arm 18 and liquid flows from the upper part of the casing 32 through the inlet valve 33 to the underside of the piston, the inlet valve opening being provided with a needle valve 43 for throttling the opening. The dashpot also includes an outlet valve 34 having a needle valve 35 for throttling purposes. Should the door remain open for a short period, the vacuum produced below the piston will cause the piston to fall quickly when the door is closed and thus close the valve quickly; being retarded by the liquid for a short period. Should the door remain open for a long period, the liquid will fill up the space beneath the piston and after closing the door the piston will fall slowly and allow the damper 15 to close slowly. In the modification shown in Fig. 3, upon opening the fire door, a rod 24 operates a valve 50 to admit steam through a pipe 48 to a cylinder 44 and actuate a piston 45 connected to an arm 19A mounted on the damper spindle 16 to open the damper 15 in the air conduit. At the same time the piston 30 in the dashpot is raised and liquid flows to the space beneath the piston through the ordinary inlet valve 33. Steam from the valve 50 also passes through a pipe 52 to an expansible tube 46 fixed at one end in a support 47 and provided at its other end with a needle valve 35 which throttles the escape vent 34 of the dashpot. The valve 15 and dashpot piston may be actuated by a solenoid 56, Fig. 4, which is energized when the fire door is opened by closing a switch 59 in the mains 58, 62 connected to the fire door through an arm 60 and rod 24. The expansible tube 46 connected to the valve 35 is heated by a coil 57 supplied with current by a shunt 63.

Filed: 1945-04-20
Abstract: 591,022. Electric signalling systems. HARLE, T. F., and BARNES, J, W. April 20, 1945, Nos. 10047 and 10919. [Class 40 (i)] A pick-off device of the kind comprising parts which are relatively movable to vary the flux linked with one or more of its windings, is given a constant unidirectional excitation, e.g. by a permanent magnet to cause it to give an output in accordance with the rate of relative movement of its parts and may have an additional A.C. excitation whereby it gives an additional output depending on the extent of such movement. The movable member of the device of which four forms are described may be actuated by a free or restrained gyroscope. In one form (Figs. 1 and 2, not shown), the device consists of a soft iron armature mounted in a gyroscope assembly and symmetrically adjacent to an E-shaped iron core with input windings on its central pole and series-connected oppositely wound output windings on its outer poles. In another form (Figs. 4 and 5, not shown), the drive comprises an output coil movable in the field provided by a permanent or electromagnet having shaped polepieces and a soft iron cylinder supported within the coil. As shown in Figs. 6 and 7, the device consists of a permanent magnet, 42, with windings thereon for the additional A.C. excitation or alternatively an electromagnet whose windings may be used for A.C. and D.C. excitation, having an upper pair of polepieces 43 and a lower pair 44, poled as shown and carrying output windings 45, 46. These cooperate with a soft iron armature 47 carried by a gimbal ring 41. In a modification of the Figs. 6 and 7 arrangement, the device comprises two magnets associated respectively with polepieces 43, 43 and 44, 44 poled and arranged, Figs. 9 and 10 (not shown), so that the two flux paths are diagonal instead of side by side. In use, the output coil O, Fig. 3, is connected to resistance/condenser circuit RO, C in series with a transformer TO which passes on. the A.C. " extent " component to a rectifier R. The two signals are combined in apparatus M. Alternatively, the "rate" voltage across C may be used to modulate an A.C. which is combined with the unrectified signal.
