Abstract: 3164. Hale, G. C. Feb. 9. Wave energy, utilizing.-Apparatus for utilizing the energy of waves comprises a swinging wing placed in position near an orifice in a bulkhead, so that the forward action of a wave causes the wing to close the orifice, and the receding action will place the wing in such a position as to receive the impact of the next wave. Air-compressors may be driven off the spindle of the rotating wing. Fig. 1 shows a plan of the apparatus, and Fig. 2 a sectional view on the line x-x. The wings 10 are slidably mounted on spindles 11 near orifices 9 in the chambered bulkhead 8, which is of V-shaped formation and open at the back. This part 8 is mounted on a vertical adjustable float or platform 4, which is inclined at the front end 7. The pockets 15 formed on the wings 10 work in the orifices 9, as shown in Fig. 5, and the water on receding, after being caused to enter the back of the chambered bulkhead 8, forces the wings 10 away from the orifices into the position for receiving the impact of the next wave. Pinions 17 on the shafts of the wings engage racks 18 on the piston-rods of the air-compressors 18<a>.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Railway Signal Apparatus.

IPC: B61L3/10
Filed: 1910-03-18
Granted: 1911-01-19
Abstract: 6859. Raven, V. L. March 18. Track apparatus actuating signals on engines; miniature signals. - The main electro-magnet operating the miniature signal in apparatus as described in Specifications 10,507/06 and 14,089/06 is arranged in a local circuit broken by the movement of the collector running on the track contacts, the magnet being re-energized to re-set the miniature signal to ' clear ' when a route-indicating magnet is energized from the track conductors. The route indicators are operated by moving coils mounted between the poles of electro-magnets. As the collectors 25 meet the insulated track ramp 31, the contacts 24 are broken, and the circuit from the battery 20, through the switch 21, currentindicator 19, wire 53, magnet 1, wire 58, contacts 23, wire 55, and contacts 24, is broken at the contacts 24. The magnet 1 drops its armature and the signal 2 moves to ' danger,' and remains so until the ramp 32 is reached. If the signal ' clear ' for a particular road is set by the levers 35, 35<a>, current flows from the battery 41 to the ramp 32, brushes 25, magnet 8, and earth E. The magnet 8 being energized, and the plate 14 carrying the permanentlyenergized coil 14<b> being released by the removal of the locking-lever 16 by the tail 7 of the armature of the magnet 1, the plate 14 swings to one side or the other according to the direction of the current in the magnet 8, and is locked bv the lever 16 as the armature of the magnet 1 rises owing to the closing of its circuit by the armature of the magnet 8. A bell 29 rings while the magnet 1 is de-energized and the contacts 24 are closed. A switch 21 serves to put the apparatus out of action when required. A switch 22 re-sets the apparatus in working order by energization of the magnet 1. The contacts on the levers 35, 35<a>, supply current in either direction to the ramps for either of the routes A, R. A tapper may be used to give a calling-on signal by intermittent currents instead of a continuous current as is given when the lever 35<a> is ' off.'

Abstract: 22,495. Smallwood, A. Sept. 28. [Cognate Application, 7733/11.] Steam-generator furnaces; liquid and gaseous fuel furnaces; linings. -In a rotary furnace or tire-box with an impertorate outer casing, channels open for the whole or a substantial portion of their length to the main interior of the furnace are formed in the wall for the supply of air, steam, or fuel. As shown in connexion with an internally-fired boiler, the furnace comprises a metallic outer casing 1 and a refractory lining built of fire-bricks arranged to form channels 5, through which air or steam may be supplied by injectors 8<a> to the solid fuel in the furnace. The injectors are stationary and preferably deliver into the lower part of the furnace only, the channels, when in their upper positions, being closed by a plate 7. The ends of the channels are flared except near the inner face of the lining, where the narrow width of the opening 5 is maintained to prevent the blocking of the inlet by ashes &c. The channels may be lined with metal plates 6, preferably formed integrally with the outer casing, and the lining-bricks may have channels constituting dead - air spaces 16 into which protuberances 15 on the casing may extend. The fire-box is driven through worm gearing and stepped or coned pulleys, or by a turbine arrangement, and the rotation may be automatically controlled, for instance by the pressure of steam in the boiler through speedchanging or clutch mechanism. When gaseous or liquid fuel is used, air may be supplied as before at the lower part of the furnace, while the fuel is delivered through injectors to the upper channels; or air and fuel may be supplied to alternate channels; or a mixture may be delivered at suitable points.
Patent GB-191025090-A (GB)
Title: Improvements relating to Sluice or like Operating Mechanism for Sewage or other Fluid Mains.
Inventor: DODD EDWARD
IPC: E02B13/02
Filed: 1910-10-28
Granted: 1911-08-10
Abstract: 25,090. Dodd, E., Dodd, R., and Wicks, J. T. Oct. 28. Actuating. - In sluice-operating mechanism for sewage or other mains that discharge into tidal water or reservoirs &c. in which the level rises and falls, the mechanism is so operated that the main discharges only during ebb or fall of level in the reservoir. The valve a, Figs. 1 and 2, which controls through pipes c the supply of hydraulic pressure to the operating - mechanism of the sluice t is operated by rack-and-pinion mechanism, which is actuated by a float n only during a portion of the rise and fall thereof. The float n is connected to a counterweight o by a cord m which passes over pulleys l, p. Two wheels f are each mounted through one-way clutches on the shaft g in such a manner that, on the wheel l rotating in one direction, one of the wheels f is rotated, and on the reverse movement the other wheel is rotated. These wheels f engage racks k which are connected to the valve-rod b. Each rack k is of such length that it disengages with the wheel as soon as the valve is completely moved, and at the same time brings the other rack into engagement with the other wheel, the result being that the valve is moved only during the first part of the movement of the float in each direction. To prevent the sluice from being opened when the height of water outside is above that in the sewer, the device shown in Figs. 1 and 9 is provided. A pair of cylinders w, each containing a bell-shaped piston x floating in mercury, are connected by a lever y which operates a valve 3 in the pipe c supplying pressure fluid through the valve a to the sluiceoperating mechanism. The chambers formed by the pistons and cylinders are connected one by the tubes 4 with the well r, and the other by the tube 5 to the sewer. When the tide rises above the level of the water in the sewer, the pressure due to the rise of water in the tube 4 raises the piston and closes the valve 3 until the level of water in the sewer is higher than that in the well r, whereupon the reverse action takes place. Consequently if, at the reversal of the tide, the level in the sewer is below that of the sea, the sluice valve does not open.

Granted: 1912-05-03
Abstract: 2803. Merrill, C. W. Feb. 3. Filter-presses.-To facilitate the removal of unfilterable material from the containers of filter-presses, the filtration is conducted intermittently so that cakes are deposited on the cloths in thin layers. The cakes are detached by the pressure of a liquid or gas introduced behind the cloths, and the slime may then be flushed from the containers. Fig. 1 shows a suitable container in cross - section. The material may be introduced through passages I<1>, O<1>. The passage A' serves for the discharge of the filtered liquid and for the admission of the pressure fluid behind the cloths. The slime is flushed out through the passage O<1> by fluid admitted through a pipe W<1> having nozzles N'. When treatment of the slime for metallurgical purposes is desired, a fluid for this purpose may be admitted through the passages I<1>, O<1>, or the pipe W', the pressure in the central space being maintained to prevent the cakes from falling away from the cloths. In one modification, the pipe W', which may be rotatable, is placed within the passage O<1>. As shown in Fig. 5, each container has a gate G, and the pipe W<3> is placed outside. The gate may extend across the width of the container so that the slime will fall out without flushing.
