Granted: 1902-01-30
Abstract: 24,416. Christie, B. B. Nov. 30. Air-heating gas stoves.-Within the base 1 is an annular chamber 2, into which the products of combustion enter by means of a tube 3, and from which they escape by a flue 4, the gases being caused to travel completely round the chamber by means of a partition 20 between the inlet and outlet openings. An annular gas heating-burner 6 of any known construction is placed within the base, and surrounds a cold air pipe 5. Air also enters by the tubes 2<a>, which pass through the chamber 2, and also by the openings 16. The products of combustion pass upwards through a flue or passage 7, and thence round a plate 26 to the down pipe 3. To give an initial draught, a cross tube, having a damper, connects the casing and the flue 4. The passage 7 is formed by the outer casing 8 and an inner vertically - corrugated casing or drum 9. The latter is closed completely above, while the bottom receives the air tube 5. The cold air rising up this tube is caused to pass close to the inner surface of the drum 9 by means of a short similarly-corrugated drum 10, and then rises higher and escapes by outlets 25. Air also enters to an inner cylinder 11 by means of a tube 12, and escapes past a plate 14 to the outlet 13 ; this heated air may be led to a heating-device elsewhere. A similar construction may be used for furnaces.

Title: Improvements in Explosion Engines.
Inventor: KELLY THOMAS DANIEL
Filed: 1902-03-22
Granted: 1903-03-19
Abstract: 7000. Kelly, T. D. March 22. Gas and explosive-vapour engines.-(1) In a twostroke cycle engine air is compressed in the crank chamber and enters the cylinder, to cool and flush it and prevent premature ignition, as soon as the pressure therein falls below that in the crank chamber ultimately sweeping out the burnt gases through the exhaust port 4, which is uncovered by the piston. A charge of oil or combustible mixture is injected through a port 2 when the piston reaches the bottom of its stroke, and the whole charge is compressed on the in-stroke. The air may be admitted to the cylinder through a valve 7 in the cylinder cover or in the piston, or through a port uncovered by the piston. The combustible charge may be injected by an annular pump formed by the lower end of the cylinder, or by air from the crank chamber. (2) An interchangeable two-stroke and four-stroke cycle engine is shown in Fig. 5. As a two-stroke cycle engine it works as described above at starting and for heavy loads, the valve 16 being held open by a lever 29 and the valve 17 closed. Scavenging air first enters the cylinder by the pipe 8 and then the piston closes the entrance to this pipe and the air remaining in the crank chamber forces oil supplied by the pipe 15 into the cylinder. If the valve 16 is allowed to be worked by the cam 30 and to close every other revolution and the valve 17 to be opened, a scavenging charge of air only passes by way of the valve 17, chambers 22, 20, and valve 19 to the cylinder during the out-stroke, and is compressed during the in-stroke.
