Granted: 1900-01-20
Abstract: 24,364. Rouma, A. Dec. 7. Acetylene.-Apparatus for automatically supplying regulated quantities of carbide. A drum a is provided with a ring of tubes c containing carbide, each tube having some known form of bottom door or flap, which opens to deliver the contents whenever any tube arrives over a shoot u leading to the generator. The drum is rotated by the bevel gear d, f, shaft g, pulley h, and weight i. Its rotation is regulated, so that only one tube is discharged for each fall of the bell of the gas holder, by means of a cord m from the bell passing around a pulley n and having a weight at its free end. The pulley has two pinsp, o, one of which, as the bell rises, lifts the freely-suspended hammer r till it abuts against the stop s, as shown in dotted lines. When the bell falls, the other pin slowly approaches the hammer, and eventually causes it to overbalance and deliver a blow to a cranked lever t, whereby a spring pawl l is momentarily removed from engagement with a ratchet-wheel k surrounding the drum, thereby enabling the drum to turn one division under the pull of the weight i. To mitigate the shock, a flywheel may be employed. The ratchet-wheel may be arranged below the drum. In addition to the regulating- device, a two-armed pivoted lever may be coupled as a safety mechanism. It is controlled by the pawl in such a manner that, when the latter disengages from the ratchet-wheel, a hooked end of the lever falls into a tooth of the ratchet-wheel.
