Inventor: BADGER GEORGE LEONE
Filed: 1902-02-03
Granted: 1902-04-17
Abstract: 2752. Badger, G. L. Feb. 3. Vapour burners.-Heavy non-volatile oils are vaporized at a heat below that at which carbonization occurs, the vapour is mixed with air, and the mixture ignited, for heating purposes. The oil is led from an upper tank by a tube C to a coil C<1>, C<2> wherein it is vaporized, at first by means of alcohol admitted from a tank W and tube W<1> to the fireplate B, B<1>, and afterwards by the heat of the burning vapour itself. The vapour formed passes down the tube C<3> to a horizontal tube C', having five small outlets E, E, E', E, E. Each of these jets delivers the vapour to two cone-shaped injector tubes F, F<1>, to which air is supplied at their mouths and through openings H, H<1>. The mixture passes through the constricted passages K' and the tubes K<1>, K<3> to the chambers L, M. From the chamber L it passes to the outer annular chamber S<1>, from which it escapes through radial slots D in the fireplate B, B', and is ignited in the combustion chamber S<3>. From the chamber M. the mixture passes to the inner annular chamber S<2>, and thence through the inner radial slots D<1> of the fire-plate, and is ignited. The boiler or vessel to be heated is placed immediately above the combustion chamber. The inner air space S<7> has a closed top, perforated sides A<8>, and a register bottom V, V<1>, the movable part of which is operated by a lever V<3>. The outer air space S<4> has a perforated inner wall A<9>, a closed top, and a register bottom S<5>, S<6>. The oil vapour inlets E, E' are opened and closed by needle valves R, R<1>, which pass through protecting-tubes N. The valves R are connected to a bar R<3>, which is operated by a lever R<9>, to which the moving part of the register S<6> may be connected so as to operate both register and valves by one movement. The centre valve R<1> is connected to a bar R', which is moved backwards and forwards by a hand-wheel R<6> on the rod R<4> ; this rod is provided with right and left handed screws t, t<1> at its opposite ends, and with a collar R' acting as a stop and working between the arms of the fixed bracket A<7>. By this arrangement, the centre valve may remain open after the others are closed. Air is admitted to the lower compartment S through orifices a.

Title: Improvements in Projectiles
Inventor: SEMPLE JOHN BONNER
Filed: 1902-02-25
Granted: 1902-05-01
Abstract: 4776. Semple, J. B. Feb. 25. Fuzes for projectiles.-The object is to cause the fuze composition to be ignited after the projectile has left the gun. In the form shown in Fig. 2, the base 1 of the projectile is provided with a plate 8, which forms a chamber 4 behind the plate 7 covering the fuze composition 2. A friction primer 6 is connected to the plate 8, but the connection is a loose one. When the powder gases act on the projectile to carry it down the gun, they pass around the primer 6 into the chamber 4, but as soon as the projectile leaves the gun, the withdrawal of the pressure from the outer face of the plate 8 causes the plate to be carried away, thus moving the friction primer 6 and igniting first the fulminate in the cap and then the fuze composition 2. In the modification shown in Fig. 4, the fuze composition is carried in a number of chambers 2<a>, each provided with its own percussion cap 14 and hammer 13, the hammers being normally protected by a sleeve 12 which is carried outwards to the stop 6<a> by the internal pressure, as soon as the projectile leaves the gun.

Abstract: 3517. Wilcocks, N. St. G. Feb. 14. Bottling.-In apparatus for aÙrating and bottling beer and other liquids, the liquid is caused to fall in a finely-divided shower through a chamber supplied with compressed gas, and is then admitted to the bottle, which has been previously charged with gas under pressure. Fig. 1 shows the general arrangement of the apparatus, and Figs. 3 and 4 sections through the valves. A pump 1, mounted on a hollow column 2, forces the liquid up a pipe 7 to the perforated top of a pipe 8, whence it falls through a perforated baffle-plate 10 and a series of perforated plates 12, 13, 14 secured across the aÙrating-vessel 6, to which gas under pressure is supplied from any convenient source. The filling- apparatus comprises inclined frames 15, sliding bottle rests 17, filling-tubes 16 connected to the valve casings by ball-and-socket joints, and three valves 19, 20, 21 actuated by means of a camplate 41, which turns on a pin 43 and is provided with a handle 42. Pipes 22, 23 are connected to the aÙrating-vessel 6 ; or, as an alternative, only the liquid-supply pipe 23 is connected to the vessel 6, and pipes 24, 25 are connected to the column 2, which is then kept supplied with gas at a lower pressure than that in the vessel 6. The bottle neck is held by a rubber washer 30 by means of a spring-pressed rest 17, which can be moved downwards by a lever 31. The handle 42 is first turned to admit gas to the bottle by opening the valve 21, and is then turned back so that the valve 21 closes and the liquid-supply valve 19 and the snifting- valve 20 are opened in succession. The valves 19, 20, 21 are similarly constructed, each comprising a spindle 36, disc 37, and pressure spring 38. A snift-regulating valve 27 is provided.

Title: Improvements in Pin Clips for Stentering and the like Machines.
Inventor: COOK SAMUEL
Filed: 1903-07-24
Granted: 1904-07-23
Abstract: 16,318. Cook, S. July 24. Stretching and tentering.-The clips of stentering &c. machines are constructed with a lower slotted jaw b, Fig. 2. forming part of the chain, and an upper jaw a' provided with pins a and hinged to a frame e', which is freely mounted on a shaft e carried by arms f<1> projecting from the jaw b. A swing frame d mounted on the shaft e and supported by the arms f<1> terminates in a guard d<3> for taking curl out of the selvage of the fabric, and a feeler c formed with a lug c<2> is hinged to projections d<2> on the frame d, and rests on the fabric as it is drawn out of the clip. During this time, the feeler engages a, lug a<3> on the jaw a' and holds the pins a out of action. When the fabric passes from below the feeler, it descends momentarily into the slot in the jaw b and releases the jaw a' so that the pins enter the selvage, a lever g mounted on the shaft e then acting on the lug c<2> to raise the feeler. The jaw a' is turned about its hinge until a lug a<4> comes against a projection g<1> on the lever g. After the clip has passed through the machine, the lever g is raised to release the jaw a', which then turns about its axis to withdraw the pins from the fabric, and, on further movement of the lever, the frame e<1> is turned about its axis and lifts the frame d ready for the application of fresh fabric. As the frame d is raised, a lug c<3> on the feeler comes against a pin c<4>, whereby the feeler is raised. The descent of the frame e<1> is limited by a lug e<3> coming against a pin on the frame d, and the jaw a' is returned to its original position, after the pins leave the fabric, by gravity or spring action. The jaw a may be provided with two or more rows of pins, and, according to the Provisional Specification, some of these may be radial and simply act to rotate the carrier, the remainder being set at an angle to facilitate the release of the fabric after passing through the machine.

Abstract: 22,529. Schofield, H., Macfarlane, O. P., and Ross, S. J. Oct. 19. Water - circulation, p r o m o t i n g. - Cylindrical boilers, such as those of the marine, Scotch, and similar types, are provided with circulation tubes, which are arranged in the path of the furnace gases, and are adapted to draw water from below the flues and force it longitudinally along the top of the flues or tubes. In one arrangement, Fig. 1, inclined water tubes c, leading from inclined drums d on opposite sides of the boiler, meet at their upper ends in common junction boxes which are connected by inclined nipples f with the water space of the boiler. To avoid sharp bends, the nipples f fit into the inclined face of a plate h attached to the boiler, and into an inclined side of the junction box. Holes in the junction boxes, shown on an enlarged scale in Fig 3, are formed opposite the ends of the tubes c, and are closed by internally-arranged caps m, which are held on their seats by the internal pressure, so as to avoid undue strain on the bridge-pieces n carrying the bolts fixed to the caps. Directing pipes lead from the nipples f and drums d to any part of the boiler. Fig. 4 shows another arrangement, in which curved tubes c, arranged crosswise so as to dispense with junction boxes, are connected to the boiler by nuts or unions. A cross water tube c<1>, which may be of the form shown in Fig. 6, to allow for expansion and contraction, may also be led directly from the top to the bottom of the combustion chamber. Directing hoods c', c<3> may be affixed to the tubes.

Filed: 1904-01-28
Granted: 1905-01-28
Abstract: 2189. Jacobs, I. N., and Garrard, C. R. Jan. 28. Gas and explosive-vapour engines are governed by expelling a part of the charge into an expansible vessel. In the engine shown in Fig. 1, the inlet valve is driven by a cam a, Fig. 3, which may be slid along the shaft e by the governor against a spring f. An end view of the cam is shown in Fig. 3 in which the arcs X, y represent the minimum and maximum openings respectively. The arcs also represent the periods during which the valve is kept open. If the speed gets excessive, the closing of the valve is delayed and some of the charge is expelled into a flexible gas bag or a cylinder with a yielding piston as in Fig. 6. A non-return valve is fitted to prevent this charge from returning to the carburetter or source, and pieces of gauze are fitted to prevent back-firing. In a multi-cylinder engine where one cylinder is charging and one compressing during each revolution, the mixture expelled from the latter may be transferred to the former by connecting all the cylinder inlets to a common supply pipe. All the cams may be on one shaft and operated exactly as before. The part of the charge expelled during one stroke enters the cylinder on the succeeding stroke before the main part of the charge.
