Abstract: 2513. Soc. Anon. d'Applications des Gaz LiquÚfiÚs. March 8, 1913, [Convention date]. Pressure-regulating valves.-A pressure regulator of the type provided with a relief valve has the relief valve so arranged that the continued movement of the actuating-means, after the main valve has closed on its seat, positively opens the relief valve, if the excess pressure has not already done so.

The lever has a pin-and-slot connexion with a member 16 rigidly secured to the actuating - diaphragm, which is adjustably loaded by a spring 5. The spring-loaded relief valve 12 is housed in a casing 21 arranged inside the main casing, and has a projecting pin adapted to be engaged by the lever 8, should the pressure rise excessively without the relief valve opening. In a modification, a spring pivot on the lever is substituted for the spring 17, and in a further modification, a helical spring is used instead of a blade spring. and the loading-spring 5 is arranged so that its adjustment cannot be altered after the apparatus has been assembled.

Abstract: 2526. Ferguson, T. B., and Brown, E. H. Jan. 30. Atmospheric vapour burners; asbestos pad and like burners; vaporizing-apparatus; flame spreaders and deflectors; flame protectors. - A jet of heated or vaporized oil is projected into a combustion chamber to which air is supplied, the resulting gaseous mixture being deflected backwards and outwards as a flame annulus which partly passes through an upper closure into a mixing- chamber, wherein additional air is mixed with the gases, which then pass through the upper closure and burn as an annulus of greater diameter than, and surrounding, the first annulus. In one form of burner, liquid fuel, such as kerosene, heated in a tube 3 is projected into the primary combustion chamber 13 from an orifice 11, which is regulated by a needle-valve 50 guided by a perforated disk 51. The chamber 13 comprises a shell 14 with air inlets 16 and a contracted shell 15, the flame from which is deflected downwards and outwards by deflectors 27, 19 supported on legs 20, and then passes in part between the perforated platforms 18, 25 and through openings 26, and in part through orifices and nozzles 23 around the flange 21 of the mixing-chamber 32, to which air is supplied through an opening 31, and out through openings 24; a flame annulus is thus formed above the platform 25 and surrounds, without impinging on, the tube 3. Another supply of air passes between the flange 28 and the deflectors 27, 19. Water may be dropped from a pipe 52 to intensify combustion. The tube 3 may be secured to the base by screwed bushes 6', 7', which press collars 55 on the tube against packing 56. One or more preheating-burners 33 may be used. As shown, they are secured by open-ended perforated airtubes 38 to the burner base, and each comprises two shells 33, 40, the former having air inlets 35 controlled by a hit-and-miss regulator 36, and being provided with asbestos &c. 37 surrounded by gauze 37<a> and supplied with oil from a pipe 44, coupling 45, and pipe 46, to which is preferably attached an automatic device for maintaining a constant oil-level, such as is used in a student lamp. A perforated flame guard 41 having within it a perforated deflector 42 rests on the preheating-burners. In a modified burner, the shell 14 is provided with an extension which screws into the duct 9 and holds the fuel nozzle in position against packing, an annular deflector is clamped between the base 5 and plate 30 by long connecting- screws, and the flame-deflector comprises only a single member.

Abstract: 7923. Armstrong, Whitworth, & Co., Sir W. G., and Lee, H. W. March 28. Recoil apparatus. - Relates to breech mechanism of the kind in which the breech is opened by means of a ram moved in a cylinder by liquid pressure generated bv the excess runout power. According to the invention, liquid is supplied to the breechopening cylinder, at the commencement of the run-out, through an axial passage in the run - out control ram and through ports controlled by a valve sliding on the ram. The invention also comprises a second valve between the end of this passage and the breech-opening cylinder, for controlling the movements of the opening - ram. The recoil apparatus is of the fixed - piston type, and the breech is closed, after loading, by a spring compressed during the opening of the breech. Fig. 1 is a rear view showing the breech end i of the gun and a section through the breech-opening cylinder a and controlling-valve s, which are arranged transversely of the gun. Fig. 2 is a plan of the breech - actuating apparatus external to the gun (not shown), and Fig. 3 is a longitudinal vertical section of the recoil buffer. During the recoil of the gun, the valve q, Fig. 3, on the control-ram m occupies the position shown, thus closing the ports r, but liquid can pass along grooves m<3> in the ram m into the run-out control chamber n in the fixed piston p. At the beginning of the run-out, the valve is moved to the rear and opens the ports r and liquid passes from the run-out control chamber n along the passage l and through the inlet x, Fig. 1, and valve s to the breech-opening cylinder a. The valve s is of piston form, and, near the end of the breech-opening movement, is moved by the ram d, acting through an intermediate slide v, to close the inlet x and open the outlet x<1>. The valve s is moved back to open the inlet x by liquid passing through the pipe y during the recoil of the gun. A cock l<1> is provided to cut the communication, when semi-automatic working is not required. The breech-opening ram d has a cross-head e, Fig. 2, which is engaged by a block f pivoted to the opening crank g of the breech mechanism. The crank has teeth which engage a rack-bar and compress the breech-closing spring k during the opening rotation of the crank.

[Published under Section 91 of the Act.] Caustic-soda and like boilers. - For use with submersible vessels where for surface propulsion the motive fluid, for instance steam, is taken from a furnace-heated generator, but when submerged is taken from a heat accumulator which contains, for instance, a mixture of equal parts of potash and lime. The accumulator a contains the coil-pipe b through which liquid is circulated from the coil within the steam-generator c by means of the pump d. A by-pass b<2> with valve e allows of different circulatory activities. A pipe f provided with nozzles in the accumulator allows of the injection of steam or water. Doors g<1>, g<2> are provided through which may be introduced, for instance, a mixture of aluminium and oxide of iron. The vessel containing the mixture may be provided internally with a layer of refractory material.

If desired, the steam of the boiler may be superheated during submerged working by means of the coil c<2>, which may be mounted as a shunt from the main line of piping and provided with regulating-valves. Instead of arranging the accumulator mainly outside the body of the generator, it may be arranged in or around the generator, and instead of causing a liquid to circulate between the boiler and accumulator, it may be injected from the boiler direct and the steam produced supplied to the motor.

Exposure meters.-A device for determining exposures consists of a casing a, fitted with a single slide b, and provided with two slits c, d at rightangles to one another, through which scales on the slide b can be seen. The slide b is first adjusted until an indication on one of these scales corresponding to the prevailing condition of the light appears through the slit d. From a column l on the casing a at the side of the slit d is obtained the degree of diaphragm opening (medium, small, &c.) suitable for the subject to be photographed, the different kinds of subjects being indicated by a table e marked on the casing a. The suitable diaphragm opening is then found in a table i, which is marked on the slide b and shows through the slit c, this scale being read in conjunction with a scale h on the casing a indicating various photographic systems (Kodak, Goerz, &c.). Finally the required exposure is found in the vertical column g beneath the determined diaphragm opening. Both sides of the casing a may be provided with slits and scales, and both sides of the slide may be correspondingly marked.
