Granted: 1901-01-19
Abstract: 16,722. Andersen, A. C., and Andersen, L. S. March 19, [date applied for under Sec 103 of Patents &c. Act, A.D. 1883]. Wheels with air-compressing appliances.-Relates to means for inflating pneumatic tyres to a predetermined pressure by the motion of the vehicle. A partial sectional elevation through the hub u and tyre d of a wheel is shown in Fig. 1. The tyre is connected, by a tube n having a non-return valve o, to one end of a cylinder f, secured to the hub a, a hole k for the entrance of air being provided near the other end. The spring i presses the piston h outwards, so that the roller m on the end of the piston-rod g bears against a bent plate l fixed on the inner side of one fork b. Air is pumped into the tyre by the continued oscillation of the piston, and, as the air pressure increases, it forces outwards the piston-rod 12 of a spring-controlled piston, sliding in a cylinder q connected to the tyre by a tube p. The end of the piston-rod bears against a bracket 1 on a pivoted lever w, v, of one arm v has a projection y adapted to engage in a hole z in the piston-rod g and so to stop the motion of the piston h. The other arm w is held by a spring 5 either against the stop 6 or with the projection y in engagement with the hole z. When the air pressure in the tyre decreases, the piston-rod 12 moves backwards, and the end 8 engages the projections 10, whereby the pistonrod g is disengaged from the projection y. The standard air pressure in the tyre may be varied by means of an adjustable scale on the piston-rod 12.
Patent GB-190105757-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and connected with Gas and Vapor Burners.
Inventor: HAYES ALBERT
Filed: 1901-03-19
Granted: 1901-11-09
Abstract: 5757. Hayes, A. March 19. Gas and vapour burners, atmospheric. -Fig. 11 shows a combined or convertible gas and vapour burner. The burner may also be used for carburetting gas of inferior quality, or the gas supply fittings may be dispensed with, a starting cup being then provided for commencing the vaporization of the oil. The burner shown in Fig. 11 is started by admitting gas through the fitting 30 to the chamber 31, whence it passes to the mixing- tube 21, to which air is admitted through the inlets 16, 23. The greater portion of the mixture passes through the perforated metal disc 25 to the burner head to supply the main flame, while the remainder is deflected downwards by the disc 25 through the tubes or annulus 24, at the lower end of which it is ignited. The ring of flame thus obtained is forced by the draught in the form of a hollow cone into the lower end of the mixing-tube 21, and the flame not only heats both the gas and air supplies but also vaporizes the oil issuing under pressure from the nozzle 3. The needle valves 4, 6, respectively contro ling the outlet and the inlet orifices to the oil chamber 17, are preferably opeiated simultaneously by means of a common spindle 10. Thus, by cutting off or controlling the gas or oil supplies, the burner may be supplied with gas only, or with vapour only, or with both gas and vapour, and the oil nozzle is not liable to be choked by tarry deposits, since the vaporization of the oil is effected within the annular flame of the secondary burner, and not in the oil fitting itself.

Abstract: 24,598. Hammond, J. F. Nov. 10. Electric furnaces. -A wire resistance furnace, applicable especially for dentists' work, is provided with a movable floor 25, Fig. 4, which can be lowered and then turned aside by operating a weighted hand-lever 38, Fig. 1. The fireclay body, Fig. 4, is in three parts 25, 20, 27, contained in a metal casing made in four parts 24, 7, 6, 6<a>. The floor 25 and upper portion 27 of the body carry the heating-wires on their inner surfaces. Tongues 2 3, 28, and grooves packed with asbestos,prevent draughts in the furnace. The part 20 of the body is of open rectangular form to receive the movable floor 25, and is carried in the part 7 of the casing, on three fixed pillars 5. The curved part 6<a> of the casing fits into the ends and sides 6, and is secured by hooks 61. The floor 25 fits upon a perforated base 24 The parts of the body are thus immediately replaceable. A mica window 54 is provided. The upper and lower parts 6, 7 of the casing are connected by hinges 16, on which the upper part of the furnace may be turned up. The base 24 is carried by a parallel link 34 and counter-weighted lever 35, 38, Fig. 1, on a post 33, which can turn on a vertical axis. Two rods 36, 37 guide the base 24 vertically, one of them being short enough to allow lateral movement of the base, in its lowest position. The hand-lever 38 has a projection 52 which rests on a fixed horizontal plate 51 when the base is turned aside. Electric connections are made through a switch 4 and a rheostat 2 to the heating-wires, in series. The floor wires are connected through two links 34, springs, and insulated thimbles, on the post 33, and through contact segments 50 and stationary springs at the foot of the post. The upper heating-wires are connected through insulated pins in the hinges 16, Fig. 4. The parts are thus movable without interference with the electric connections. In a modified support for the base 24, this is connected by an arm to a sleeve which slides vertically or turns horizontally on a vertical guide-rod, and the arm is supported by an arm of a lever fulcrumed on another sleeve, which can turn horizontally on the lower end of the guide-rod.
