Title: Improvements in or relating to Convertible Close and Open Fire-places.
IPC: F24B1/181
Filed: 1910-09-19
Granted: 1911-09-14
Abstract: 21,724. Burger Eisenwerke Ges. Nov. 23, 1909, [Convention date]. Convertible close and open fire-places; airheating fire - places; doors; blowers; draught, inducing and regulating. - A self-setting convertible close and open fire-place with air-heating passages is provided with a counterweighted shutter or sliding door which regulates the combustion, and a damper which causes the combustion products to take a direct path to the chimney or a tortuous path in the casing of the stove before entering the chimney. Fig. 5 shows the stove with the door p raised; air enters freely at the front of the stove and enters flues m, Fig. 4, at the sides of the fire. The air in these flues is heated, and passes into the room through tubes i in the upper part of the stove. The door p may be held in any desired position by counterweights o. In its lowest position it cuts off the air from the fire and opens a flue q, which admits air to the combustion chamber d, thus checking the draught in the chimney, and which also serves as a harmless outlet for downdraught. When the damper b is raised to its horizontal position the combustion gases pass direct to the chimney c. When it is vertical, the gases rise into the combustion chamber d and descend through side flues e to a chamber f leading to the uptake flue h. This flue is heated by ribs x on the rear plate k of the fire so as to maintain the buoyancy of the combustion products. If the door p is dropped to its extreme limit and the damper b is raised, cold air flows through the flues q, e, f, h to the chimney, thus rapidly cooling the casing.

Title: Improvements in Gas Producers.
Inventor: ERNST EMIL ULRIK GUSTAV
IPC: C10J3/00
Filed: 1910-10-19
Granted: 1911-04-06
Abstract: 24,283. Ernst, E. U. G. Nov. 2, 1909, [Convention date]. Producers. - A gas-producing plant comprises two or more generators in which the individual generators are from time to time put into or out of action automatically, subject to the variation in pressure of the gas in the gassupply pipe. The means shown, as an example, for regulating air admission, consists of a water seal, the level of which varies with the pressure of the gas. In one casing 5 are arranged four generators having a common gas space 6 and water seal 7. The lid 10 and hollow ring 11 serve for heating and moistening the air supply. Plates 14-17 divide up the grate box into four spaces, each under its own generator, and the plates are of unequal length, dipping into the water seal 7 to different depths. A pump 28, driven by a motor 29, withdraws the gas through a pipe 26 and drives it to the consumers 33. The gas, when not used, is passed back through the pipe 30, increasing the pressure in the fixed bell 35, and driving the water into the seal 7, causing it to close the air admission to one or more of the generators. When the gas is being used, the pressure in the bell becomes less and water flows into it from the seal, opening the air inlet to each producer in turn. Downdraught or horizontal-draught generators may be used, and they may be arranged in a row, or one below another in zones in a common generator, with several grates at different heights, the admission of air being regulated by throttle valves actuated by the variation in gas pressure in the supply-pipe.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Watchmen's Tell-tales.
Inventor: SANDYS PETER MARTIN
Filed: 1912-05-21
Granted: 1913-05-21
Abstract: 11,985. Sandys, P. M. May 21. Watchmen's clocks; disk recording-apparatus. -In watchmen's tell-tale apparatus, one man at a distance effects by electric or pneumatic means the release of a handle at the tell-tale, whereupon a second man operates the handle and raises an arm which otherwise would cause an alarm or record to be made. The arm is controlled by the clock-work through a spring pawl and ratchet-wheel. Referring to Figs. 2 and 3, the arm 17 is loosely pivoted on a spindle 14 driven from the clock through a pinion 10, and carries a spring 18 engaging the teeth of a ratchet-wheel 13 fixed to the spindle. An external handle on a shaft 32 serves to raise and so reset the arm 17 by means of a lifting-arm 29. The shaft 32 is normally locked, however, by engagement of a catch 45 with a rocking lever 27. The distant watchman, by pressing a pneumatic ball, causes a rush of air from a nozzle 26, which rocks the lever 27 and so releases the catch 45. If the arm 17 is not reset, it makes electric contact with a needle 39. If the handle should not be returned after the resetting-operation, the lifting-arm 29 does not bear on a lever 34, which therefore remains in such a position that the pinion 10 rotates a spur-wheel 37 on the lever so that a contact 41 is eventually brought into engagement with a needle 42 to give the alarm. In the construction shown in Fig. 5, in place of the electric alarm devices, the arm 17 at the end of its descent may force a pencil upon a clock-rotated dial 49. The pencil is adjustably mounted on an arm secured to a spindle 53 fitted with radial weights at its ends to cause the pencil to tend to bear upon the dial. The lifting-arm 29 when in its proper position, however, keeps the pencil off the dial by engagement with the end of a spring 57 on the spindle. According to the Provisional Specification, electro-magnetic releasing-means for the lever 27 may be employed, the contact device 41 may be replaced by a recording-apparatus, and tampering-preventing devices for the casing and the pneumatic ball are mentioned.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Control Gear for Naval Ordnance.
Inventor: SAQUI EMANUEL
IPC: F41G5/16
Filed: 1912-07-01
Granted: 1913-07-01
Abstract: 15,279. Saqui, E., and Farrell, S. A. July 1. Naval mountings.-Relates to automatic control gear for maintaining the laying of a gun upon a target notwithstanding the movements of the ship, other than its travel. According to the invention, the elevating and training motors each drive two shafts in opposite directions, which shafts are connected to the opposite sides of a differential gear, which drives the gun or gun mounting, through a reversible variable-speed hydraulic transmission of known form. One of the transmissions is controlled by a gyroscope or pendulum, and the other by hand to correct for improper working of the automatic control device. A training-gear with gyroscope control is shown diagrammatically in Fig. 1. The shaft 46 of the training motor 49 drives two shafts 31<1>, 42. The shaft 31<1> is connected to the wheel 25 of a differential gear 16 through a variablespeed hydraulic transmission 31 of the "tilting-box" type, the direction and speed of the transmission being regulated by a hand-control gear 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 32. The second shaft 42 is connected to the wheel 26 of the differential gear through a similar transmission 43, which is controlled, however, by a gyroscope 66 mounted in gimbal rings 63, 64 upon a freely revoluble base 67. The gyroscope-control gear comprises two solenoids 55, 57, which have a common core 53 in the form of a rack-bar gearing with a pinion 52 on a shaft 51 which adjusts the tilting-box of the transmission 43 through gearing 50, 43<1>. Equal currents normally pass through the solenoid winding, but when an undesirable movement of the ship takes place, a plate 69 moves with the ship, and relatively to the gyroscope base 67, and an arm 86 on the base acts upon springs 89, 90, which bear upon the movable ends of two carbon resistances 75, 76 in the solenoid circuits supported by the plate 69. The current through one solenoid is thereby increased, the current through the other is decreased, and the rack-bar core 53 is moved. The differential-gear 16 rotates the turret 2 through gearing 15, 14, 13, 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, carried by the turret, and the fixed training-arc 5. Normally, both the transmission shafts are stationary, but an undesirable movement of the ship acts through the automatic control device, and causes rotation of the shaft 41. Should further correction of the training be required, the hand-control device is actuated, and the shaft 30 is also driven, this further correcting-motion being also transmitted to the plate 69 by the gearing shown. A similar elevation control-gear is described, the automatic control being effected by means of a weighted pendulum.
