Patent GB-190104792-A (GB)
Title: Improvements relating to Acetylene Gas Generators
Inventor: HARRIS ISAAC LEONARD
Filed: 1901-03-06
Granted: 1902-01-30
Abstract: 4792. Harris, I. L. March 6. Acetylene.-Relates to acetylene generators of the type in which the carbide is automatically supplied to the generating-chamber. The carbide holder 4 is situated within a central tubular passage 3 in the gas - holder bell 2 and, when charged, it is covered by a closely-fitting tubular cap 5. At its lower end it is formed with a contracted mouth 7 fitted with a valve 11, by opening which the carbide is fed into the generating- chamber 8. The opening of the carbide supply valve is effected automatically on the descent of the gas-holder bell. For this purpose the valverod 13 is connected by a swivel joint 14 with a lever 15, pivoted at 16 and jointed at 20 to a bent rod 19, passing out through a water seal 28 and formed at its upper end with a projection 22, with which engages a yoke 23 on the gas-holder bell. In order to loosen the carbide when the valve is being opened, the valve is provided on its upper side with two or more serrated pins, and it is given a slight movement of rotation by means of an oblique guide 17 in which works a pin 18 on the valve - rod 13. The gas passes from the generating - chamber into the holder through a vertical pipe, which pipe also serves for supplying the generating - chamber with water. The pipe can be closed to the flow of gas by a cap valve 30, with guiding-sleeve 40, but water can always flow into the generating-chamber owing to the upper end of the tube being formed with a series of projections. To permit of the escape of air when supplying the generating-chamber with water, a pipe 32, fitted with a cock, is provided. The valve 30 and the cock in the air-escape pipe are connected together by a bent rod 35, so that, when one is open, the other is closed. A further pipe 36, surrounded by a suitably-perforated tube 38 carried by the bell, provides for the relief of the pressure therein. When the gas valve 30 is closed, the carbide supplying mechanism is thrown out of action, the rod 19 being displaced by means of a pin attached to the cock in the air-escape pipe.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Apparatus for Manufacturing Measuring and Delivering Aerated Liquids.
Inventor: SHARMAN HENRY EDWARD
Filed: 1901-11-18
Granted: 1902-11-06
Abstract: 23,329. Sharman, H. E., and Sharman, F. W. Nov. 18. Measured quantities, delivering.-The car. bonating-cylinder of an aÙrating-machine has connected to it apparatus for delivering a measured quantity of the liquid. The measuring-vessel a has in connection with it a valve f through which the aerated liquid is admitted, a snifting valve m, and a delivery valve h. By turning the handle k so that the cylinder b is moved upwards, the valve or piston h is moved upwards with it so that liquid cannot pass into the outlet passage i. A rod attached to the piston h raises the valve or piston m so as to close the snifting passage, and a rod which passes through the piston m opens the valve or piston f whereby the vessel a is filled with liquid. On turning the handle k in the reverse direction, a spring q closes the valve f, the piston m is lowered so as to open the snifting passage, and ultimately the cylinder b leaves the piston h so that the liquid flows through the opening o into the discharge outlet i.

Incandescent vapour lamps; lighthouse lamps.- Relates to a lamp for burning vaporized petroleum to heat an incandescent mantle, specially adapted for lighthouse service, but also applicable to other purposes. The petroleum is fed into a tube f considerably larger in bore than the supply tube, which is said to prevent deposits in the vaporizer, and from this into a vaporizer consisting of two horizontal tubes a, one behind the other, through which the vaporized petroleum passes in series, returning to a nozzle g. Above this nozzle is the aperture of the supply connection h, through which a mixture of air and vapour is supplied to the heating-chamber d, passing from thence partly by a tube l to a vaporizing-burner c, and partly through a conical nozzle j and wire gauze k to the mantle flame. A heatretaining guard n of non-conducting material is placed above the vaporizer, and the gases are superheated in the passages h, d, l, as these are enclosed in a casing b, from which the burnt gases from the vaporizer pass away by the openings m. On starting, a removable spirit lamp or other means may be used to heat the vaporizer. A valve at the bottom of tube f prevents pulsation of the light.

The surfaces f<1>, f<2> are so formed that, when the cover is not tightly closed, the spring pressure of the packing s throws the levers outwards, thus indicating imperfect closure. In other arrangements, the levers are secured in the closed position by means of a ridge on the surface f entering a notch in the surface f<2>, the tongue z being dispensed with, or the surface f<2> may have a projecting curvature instead of a notch.

Abstract: 9003. Georg³, E. April 19. Cigarette-making machines. - Fig. 2 shows a sectional elevation of the machine, in which the tobacco is placed by hand in the pocket 5 of a table 1 which is oscillated about its centre 2 by means of the cam 31, lever 28, and link 27. The table 1 is covered by an apron 8 adjustably fixed at one end by a cam 9 and arm 12 and held at the other end by a cam 15, which is rocked during the working of the machine by the fixed cam 24 and the bell-crank lever 20. The diameter of the cigarette is varied by adjusting the cam 9. The apron is made to line the pocket 5 by a spring pusher 44 on the lever 43 worked by the cam 52. The apron 8 passes over a spring-pressed roller 33 as shown. When the table with its charge of tobacco is swung to the left, the tobacco is forced out of its pocket and rolled to form the filler f, Fig. 7, the cam 15 gradually tightening the apron. The apron is then slightly slacked by the cam 24 so that the filler can be pushed from the apron into the wrapper, which has been pushed over a tube by a spring pusher worked by a cam-actuated slide 73. This part of the mechanism is similar to that described in Specification No. 14,873, A.D. 1900. The wrappers w, Fig. 3, pass down a hopper 96, those not required being brushed back by the brush 97. The wrappers are fed into position by a grooved wheel 95<1> moved step by step by pawl- and-ratchet mechanism worked by the cam 104, and the wrappers are held in position while being filled by a spring which is afterwards released by a cam and lever. The pusher for the filler has a yielding spring head and is worked by the slide 73. The machine is started by liberating the pawl 57 connecting the constantly rotating loose ratchetwheel 59 with the disc 56 fixed to the main shaft 32. A bolt automatically disengages the pawl and stops the machine.
