Title: Improvements in Boiler Feed Purifiers.
Inventor: BESSONOFF SERGIUS
IPC: F22D11/00
Filed: 1912-11-22
Granted: 1913-11-20
Abstract: 26,889. Bessonoff, S. Nov. 22. Feed-water, heating.-A device for purifying feed-water for steam-generators by passing steam bubbles through it consists of an arrangement of troughs so placed in the water-space of the generator that the steam generated below it accumulates in spaces under the troughs and forces its way through slots in the troughs and through the water therein, thus preventing the escape of water through the slots. In the form shown, there are two troughs arranged between angleirons attached to the boiler flues, the slots a, c being formed by the spaces between the troughs and the angle-irons and the slot b by the space between the troughs. Over the slots a, c are horizontal baffles d, f and over the slot b a trough g into which the feed-water is first led, overflowing from the trough g into the purifying-troughs. The troughs may be formed of sections, the end of each section fitting into the next. Perforated blow-off pipes k, l are arranged in the purifying- troughs.

Patent GB-191307573-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Measuring Taps or Valves.
Inventor: ODET HENRY JOSEPH
IPC: G01F11/00
Filed: 1913-03-31
Granted: 1914-03-31
Abstract: 7573. Odet, H. J. March 31. Valves closing after predetermined interval or flow. - Relates to measuring t a p s o r valves of the type comprising a spring - controlled timing or dashpot piston such as 9 and an outlet tube such as 1, 1<a> co-operating therewith and forming the screw operating-means. The spring 13 rests in a cup 38 adjustable by its screwed shank 14. The valve facing 5 is carried in a head 6 rotatably m o u n t e d on balls 7 in a cup 6<a> supported by an adjustable shank 8 on the piston 9. The valve head 6 is mounted alternatively by means of a grooved shank engaged by transverse pins. Fitted on the outlet and operating tube 1, 1<a> is a hollow cylindrical valve 3 formed with a spiral graduated slot 4. In operation, the outlet tube is first partially rotated whereby the quick screw-thread 2 causes the tube 1<a> and piston to move downwards together; the outlet tube is then rotated backwards through any desired angle to obtain the flow. If the return angle is small, the closure end 44 of the tube is separated only a short distance from the valve facing 5, and a deep portion of the slot 4 is left opposite the inlet F; although the time taken, therefore, by the valve 5 in returning to close the end of the tube 44 is short, a rapid flow takes place through the deep portion of the slot 4. If, however, the angle through which the spout 1 is returned is large, the closure surfaces 5, 44 are separated widely and the duration of flow is longer; the total flow, however, will be the same by reason of the smaller depth of the slot 4 left opposite the fluid inlets F. Fig. 9 shows a form of the apparatus in which the outlet and operating tube 1<a>, 47 is arranged below the piston 9 and valve facing 5; the cylindrical valve 3, Fig. 1, with the slot 4, is herein replaced by downwardly tapering slots 44<a> in the tube. In a further modification, Fig. 8, the tube 44 has an external annular groove 44<c>. Passages c<1> and an apertured member 1 are also arranged in the valve head so that a continuous discharge can be obtained provided the closure shoulder b formed on the tube is not moved back against the casing 45. In the form shown in Fig. 9, the longitudinal and transverse channels 28 through which the timing fluid returns to the back of the timing-piston are controlled by thin perforated changeable plates 29; the apertures therein may be protected from clogging by dirt by metal cone devices secured thereon. A rolling packing - ring 31 is used to pack the piston, and air vent apertures may be formed in the side of the piston. The piston may operate in a fluid, such as oil, separate from the fluid controlled. An arrangement of valve is shown in which the piston is controlled by two springs.

Title: Improvements in the Extraction and Recovery of Vaporous Constituents from Coal Gas or the like.
Inventor: LESSING RUDOLF
IPC: B01D53/18
Filed: 1915-07-09
Abstract: 10,022. Lessing, R. July 9. Tar oils, extracting.-Vaporous constituents are recovered from coal-gas and like gas by passing the gas through or over an absorbent carried by inert material, the absorbed constituent being liberated from the absorbent in situ by heat, exhaustion, or a current of steam, air or gas. The absorbent may be tar, tar oils or other oils, bitumen, pitch, sulphur, &c., or substances which react chemically with the constituents to be recovered. In an example, coal-gas is passed through a vessel charged with broken brick or coke previously soaked in heavy tar oil. When the oil has taken up the required amount of constituents, the flow of the gas is stopped and steam is blown through, the distillation being assisted in some cases by steam coils or a steam jacket. The distillate is condensed and led preferably to a vessel having means for automatically separating the condensed water. After the distillation, the absorption vessel is cooled and the treatment of gas resumed. Three or four vessels may be worked in rotation.

Abstract: 12,870. Smith, E. J. Sept. 8. Disk apparatus; driving andfeed devices; rollers, treating; supplying fluids.-Relates to machines for surfacing intaglio printing-cylinders prior to etching, and of the kind in which a rotating grinding or rubbing surface is moved longitudinally of the cylinder and is also given an oscillating movement in a plane perpendicular to the axis of the cylinder. The cylinder c is carried in bearings e vertically adjustable by screw-and-nut mechanism f, g, and is partly immersed in water or other liquid in a trough i mounted on slides j carrying nuts k engaging the screws f and rotatable by worm gearing l and hand-wheel m. By turning the nuts k, the trough is adjustable relative to the cylinder ; but by turning the screws f, the troughs and cylinders are adjustable together. A saddle b is reciprocated by a screw o driven alternately in opposite directions by bevels 1, 2 constantly driven by a bevel 4 and alternately connected to the screw o by a reversible clutch 3 connected to a rod v moved in opposite directions alternately by a stop b<1> on the saddle engaging stops u on the rod. A turning or scraping tool may be secured to the saddle for trueing-up the cylinder prior to grinding. When trueing up the cylinder, the screw o is driven slowly from the driving-shaft r by skew gearing q<2>, q<1> and the q<2> q<1> bevel 4; but when grinding the cylinder this gearing q<1>, q<2> is disconnected, and the screw o is driven rapidly by a belt s directly from the shaft r to the bevel 2, the bevel 4 serving only to transmit motion to the bevel 1. The grinding or polishing disk y is carried by an arm 5, which receives a rocking motion from an eccentric sleeve 7 slidably keyed to a shaft 8 driven by a belt from the shaft r. The disk is also rotated on its axis by a belt 11 passing round a pulley 6, a pulley 13 fixed to the sleeve 7, and idle pulleys 14, 15. The cylinder c is rotated by a belt 16. A counterweight is provided on an extension of the arm 5 to adjust the pressure of the disk y on the cylinder.
