Inventor: WILDE PERCY ROBERTS
IPC: F24C1/00
Filed: 1910-06-27
Granted: 1911-06-08
Abstract: 15,411. Wilde, P. R. June 27. Gas-stoves; gas fires; casings; d r a u g h t, inducing. - The draught through a gas fire or other stove is produced by means of a closed condensing-chamber, in which the combustion products circulate continuously and are cooled and absorbed. In the gas fire shown in Fig. 2, the gases from the fire enter a vertical flue a connecting upper and lower closed chambers d, b connected also by vertical flues e. The gases rise into the chamber d and induce an upward flow of air &c. in the lower part of the flue a, thus withdrawing air from the chamber b and setting up a downward flow in the flues e. The circulation thus set up becomes continuous, and cools the combustion products completely. Carbonic acid &c. is absorbed by a saturated solution b<1> of lime, an excess of time being provided at b<2>.

Title: Automatic Device to Balance Axial Thrust in Steam Turbines.
Inventor: BARBEZAT ALFRED
IPC: F01D3/04
Filed: 1910-07-22
Granted: 1910-11-24
Abstract: 17,453. Barbezat, A. July 22. Balancing moving parts.-Relates to turbines in which the end-thrust is balanced by steam admitted behind the rear bottom of the drum, and consists in an automatic throttling-device made up of a collar with a screw-like or inclined face mounted on the shaft, rotating in front of a fixed circular part acting in combination with a constant throttling-device located between the automatic device and the drum end. The collar R, with a screw-like or inclined face, rotates in front of a fixed circular part S, the position of which may be regulated by a screwthread and nut M. The axial movements of the shaft thus vary the extent of the inclined opening m without the parts R, S touching in any case. The working of this device, together with a constant throttling effect given by a, device a, slackens the balancing-effect upon the end G of the drum, and eliminates axial oscillations of the shaft.

Title: Arrangements on Gramophone Discs Allowing the use of the Disc on Inserting a Coin.
Inventor: MUENZER DAVID
IPC: G07F17/30
Filed: 1910-08-23
Granted: 1911-05-25
Abstract: 19,667. M³nzer, D. Aug. 23. Phonographs. - Gramophone and similar records are provided with coin-controlled mechanism so that ordinary instruments may be used as coin-operated machines without any alteration. The record 5 has attached to it a rotatable casing 2 mounted on ball bearings and containing the prepayment mechanism, the casing being fixed by connecting a radial arm 4 to a fixed part of the instrument by means of a spring 27. After each prepayment, the record disk is permitted to rotate until the record has been completely played, whereupon the controlling-mechanism, which is operated by a projection 6 on the disk during each rotation, locks the disk against further movement. A spring- controlled lever 7, Fig. 1, carries bobbins 9 on which a ribbon 10 is wound. By the insertion of a coin and the operation of a slide 18, a cam 13 is rotated so as to rock the lever 7 and bring the toothed wheel 8 on the empty bobbin into the path of the projection 6. The record disk can now rotate until the ribbon has been completely wound on to the empty bobbin. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 4, one revolution of a wheel 30 is permitted after each prepayment, this wheel being driven through a worm 29 from a gear 28 rotated by the projection 6. Coin action, mechanical-connexion.-The coin inserted in the slide 18 rotates a wheel 15 attached to the cam 13, Fig. 1, when the slide is thrust in. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 4, the coin rocks a spring-controlled lever 32 so as to remove the tail 33 from a projection 31 on the wheel 30; a spring 35 on the lever co-operates with the projection 31 to prevent the immediate return of the lever into the locking position. When several coins are used, they rest one on top of another on the slide, and the uppermost coin serves to release the controlling-mechanism. Fraud, preventing. - When the slide 18 is withdrawn for the insertion of a coin, the cam 13 and wheel 15, Fig. 1, are locked by a spring- controlled lever 22, which co-operates with a projection 24 on the slide, and is formed with a projection 23 adapted to engage pins 21 on the cam. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 4, the projection 24 co-operates with a projection 36 on the lever 32. The coin slide may be provided with a hinged flap 37, Fig. 6, which, when raised for the insertion of a coin, blocks the further passage of the coin by means of a member 38.

Abstract: 27,243. Marks, E. C. R., [Heintz & Co., A.]. Nov. 23. Heating by circulation of fluids.-Relates to heating-systems in which the steam supply is automatically controlled, and consists in using a circuit which is closed indirectly by the steam introduced to make up losses in the circuit. The circuit comprises radiators 16, return pipe 23, steam-trap A, injector B, and flow-pipe 15. The upper part of the vessel A contains a thermostat 5 which governs the supply of compensation steam by controlling a valve in the steam pipe 24. The vessel A communicates with the injector B by a pipe 10, 22, a non-return valve 11 being provided. The injector B has a valve 14 which allows air to enter until the pressure rises to atmospheric, whereupon a complete steam flow only occurs. In a modification, the air-valve on the injector is discarded, and a non-return valve placed between the vessel A and the separator.

Abstract: 25,506. Ashcroft, E. A. Nov. 15. Distilling zinc. - A suitable quantity of a cyanamide such as calcium cyanamide is stirred into a solution of zinc chloride, and the mixture is treated with steam under pressure at 150- 300‹ C., ammonia being evolved. The zinc oxide, after removal of calcium chloride, is suitable for smelting in an electric furnace, and contains graphitic carbon and perhaps lime which are useful for the smelting. Or a very strong zinc chloride solution may be used so that the mixture with calcium cyanamide is a stiff paste which is heated in an oven or furnace to 200-500‹ C. and finally to 600‹ C. Steam, which may be superheated, may be admitted during the heating. Or the zinc chloride solution is treated with a cyanide such as sodium or barium cyanide, which may be very impure. The residues obtained on heating calcium cyanamide with water and steam under pressure in the usual way for the production of ammonia may also be added to the zincchloride solutions and need not therefore be first washed to recover their contained ammonia. In an example, calcium cyanamide is stirred with water, any calcium carbide being thereby decomposed, and the undissolved residue separated by decantation. All or a part of the solution or residue can be added to the zincchloride solution in suitable proportions so as to obtain more or less carbon in the zinc oxide as the smelting process may require.
