Title: Improvements in and relating to a Forced Draught Apparatus and Blower therefor
Inventor: CLARIDGE JAMES WILLIAM
Filed: 1902-11-27
Granted: 1903-05-21
Abstract: 26,125. Claridge, J. W. Nov. 27. Blast apparatus and draught - inducers ; air supply, heating. - Relates to a forced - draught system, comprising a steam-jet blower, by which heated air may be delivered over the fire, under the grate, or at the bridge. The air openings into the casings consist, of the side openings l, l<1>, and a central opening in the door, and air may be drawn through the lower casings, past the partition plate m', into the tubes e by using the bottom blowers d<1>, or through the top casings direct by using the upper blowers d, or the air may pass through the openings n in the dead-plate. The valve f permits air to be delivered into the ashpit at p<1> or to be directed into the bridge chamber e and over the partition plate m<2> into the furnace. The valve f is controlled by hand, or by a slot- and-pin arrangement from the furnace door. The steam-jet blower, Fig. 4, has the seating r slotted concentrically to correspond with the base of the spindle s so that, by turning the spindles, the steam-delivery opening may be varied. The firebars are formed with projections on their sides to form nozzles when the bars abut. In a forceddraught system for a water-tube boiler, the air tubes into which the blower nozzles discharge are outside the boiler, and apertures in the form of nozzles are arranged along the tubes for the air to enter over the fire. In locomotive or vertical type boilers, air is forced into tubes resting on bar bearers, and is spread over the fire by openings in the tubes, or is let into the ashpit by an opening in the bottom of the tube.

Abstract: 3120. White, J. Feb. 10. Drying. - F o r completely removing the water of condensation from steam-heated drying cylinders of paper-making machines without appreciably lowering the temperature of the same, one of the trunuions C on which the cylinder A rotates is hollow and has an inner extension C<1> connected by a radial pipe or pipes D to one or more water-collecting pipes E extending the length of the cylinder close to the inner surface. The steam pipe B passes through the same or the opposite trunnion. Each pipe E has a longitudinal slot, in which fits a strip e<1> of brass, rubber, or other material fastened to the pipe E by bolts and projecting from the pipe radially and bearing against the inner surface of the cylinder. Holes are bored in the pipe immediately above the strip to permit the water of condensation, which, as the cylinder rotates, collects against the strips e<1>, to escape. The pipe E may otherwise be formed with a projecting fin bearing against the cylinder. When several pipes E are employed, the part C is recessed to form a valve box containing one or more ball or other non-return valves fitting over or in the radial pipes D.

Title: Improved Apparatus for Making and Delivering Artificially Carbonated Water and the like.
Inventor: WEBER CARL
Filed: 1903-05-19
Granted: 1903-07-09
Abstract: 11,437. Weber, C., and Meyer, J. May 19. Measured quantities, delivering.-Fig. 1 shows a vertical section of apparatus for aerating liquids, Fig. 3 an elevation of the bead, and Fig. 4 a section of the head in a plane parallel to that of Fig. 1. Water, admitted through the pipe g, flows in a devious course first through the outer series of superposed annular chambers of the mixer a, and then through the inner series, the air or gas present escaping through the pipes i, k, past the float m, and through the pipe n and valve 3 to the exit o. The back pressure in the chamber b prevents the water from raising the valve q. The water finally lifts the float m and closes the exit pipe n. On depressing the spring-held lever f, the valves 1, 2 are opened and the valves 3, 4 closed. Carbonic acid gas is admitted through the pipe h, passes down the pipe n, depresses the float m, and flows through the channel k, pipes i, r, and mixer a, and opens the valve q, forcing the aÙrated water into the chamber b, whence it passes through the pipe u to a pipe discharging at the top of the measuring-vessel c. On releasing the lever f, the valves 3, 4 are opened and the valves 1, 2 closed, and the projection x opens the connecting-valve y, allowing the aÙrated water in the vessel c to pass through the tube z to the discharge tap, while the open valve 4 puts the pipe leading to the top of the vessel c in communication with a channel leading to the outside.

Granted: 1904-12-01
Abstract: 2595. Rice, J. H. Feb. 2. Gas and l i k e e n g i n e s.-Engines working on a two-stroke c y c l e are made without mechanically - ope- rated valves. The piston c a r r i e s a head b working in the cylinder c to compress the charge and force it past the valves f, k into the cylinder i. The charge is drawn through the valve d. When the piston uncovers the ex- haust ports l, most of the gases escape and the charge enters and drives them completely out. It then fills the cylinder itself at atmospheric pressure so that no escape takes place. With multi-cylinder engines, a check valve may be fitted in the exhaust passage, and the com- pressor of one cylinder used to feed an adjacent cylinder. In Fig. 3 an engine with opposing pistons is shown, in which only one piston is used for compressing the charge into a receiver h which communicates with the cylinder i by the valve k the exhaust taking place through separate valves l which are uncovered simultaneously. The two main shafts are preferably geared by a side shaft and bevel-wheels.
