Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Loading and Discharging.
Inventor: LIVINGSTON THOMAS LINTON
IPC: B66C23/00
Filed: 1911-04-18
Granted: 1912-03-28
Abstract: 9391. Livington, T. L. April 18. [Cognate Application, 19,474/11.] Jib cranes.-(1) The loading and discharging apparatus described in Specifications 4063/04 and 27,760/04, is operated by differential drum mechanism adapted to wind in and pay out a rope by continual operation in the same direction. Fig. 1 shows the application to the apparatus described in Specification 27,760/04 of the differential drum mechanism combined with multiplying-tackle. A rope f is connected at its ends to the larger ends of a pair of conical drums a mounted on parallel horizontal shafts geared together so that as one drum winds in the rope, the other pays out. In the bight of the rope f is a pulley u carried by the movable block t of a multiplying-tackle. A rope w is fixed to the block s mounted on a vertical post h and passes round the pulleys on the blocks s, t, over a pulley x on the luffing-frame g, between pulleys m<2>, down to a pulley y, round a corresponding pulley on the other side of the frame, up between pulleys m<2> on the other post h, and over pulley x<1> on the frame g, the end being attached at the point z. The arrangement is such that, when the frame g is vertical, the rope f is wound half-way along each of the drums a; the rope f then pays out when the drums a are rotated in either direction. In order to ensure the frame g passing through the vertical position when luffed from side to side, ropes are attached to the sides of a counterweight segment l arranged beneath the pivotal support of the frame. These ropes pass round the segment in opposite directions and are wound round a drum o mounted on a countershaft driven from the drums a. (2) Derrick apparatus generally is operated by differential drum mechanism combined with multiplying-tackle. Fig. 6 shows in plan the application to a slueing-derrick 1 and a fixed derrick 4. The hoisting-rope of each derrick is passed round a multiplying-tackle, the movable block of which carries a swivelling pulley round which passes the bight of a rope operated by the differential drums 9. 9*. In the derrick 1, each slueing-rope 24, 25 passes round an independent tackle, each tackle carrying a pulley in the bight of a rope operated by the differential drum mechanism 20, 21. The slueing-drums 20, 21 are driven from the hoisting-drums 9, and parallel portions are provided on the former, the arrangement being such that hoisting and slueing can take place simultaneously, slueing being deferred until the cargo is hoisted clear of the hatch. Clutch mechanism is described for controlling the drums. The derrick 1 may be used as a non- slueing derrick, when both derricks may be operated conjointly from a single lever. The application of the differential drum mechanism is also shown applied for transporting a beam or cradle suspended by four derricks,

Patent GB-191118936-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to the Manufacture of Liquid Illuminating Gas.
IPC: F25J3/02
Filed: 1911-08-23
Granted: 1912-08-22
Abstract: 18,936. Blaugas Patent-Ges. Aug. 30, 1910, [Convention date]. Liquefying.-In the manufacture of liquid illuminating-gas, gases that are not liquefied by pressure at approximately normal temperatures are cooled, while under heavy pressure, to a temperature of 50‹ C or under, at which the maximum quantity of liquefiable constituents is separated from the permanent gases. Specifications 2292/09, and 23,675/04, and 12,390/92, [both in Class 55, Gas manufacture], are referred to. The vessel D, Fig. 1, receives by the pipe r the products of the crude gas after treatment for the separation of liquid hydrocarbons, such as benzine, and compression at approximately normal temperatures. The gaseous portion of the products is passed through a surface cooler G, the further liquefied portion flowing to the vessel D through a pipe r<3>, while the permanent gases pass off through a pipe r<2>. The liquid in the vessel D is thus cooled below normal temperatures, and if conducted directly through the pipe r' into transportation vessels, permanent gases held in solution would separate out when the temperature became normal. The liquid in the vessel D is therefore heated to maintain it at normal temperature, preferably by utilizing the liquid to absorb the heat of compression of the incoming gases, which pass through a coil immersed in the liquid. Fig. 4 represents a modification in which the vessel D is constructed in the form of a rectification column and the cooling is gradually effected in two or more stages, the liquid separated at the later cooling-stages being introduced into the column at higher levels. Fig. 4 also illustrates the use of a portion of the liquid from the column as the cooling-medium. The liquid passes through a pipe r" to an expansion valve, and then in succession through coolers G, G', after which it is drawn into a three-stage compressor K. The cooling effect may be increased by taking liquid from the middle or upper portion of the column, and in such cases, the gas may be drawn immediately into the second- or thirdstage compression cylinder.

Inventor: FYFE PETER
IPC: F24C3/04
Filed: 1911-11-03
Granted: 1912-08-15
Abstract: 24,397. Fyfe, P. Nov. 3. Atmospheric gas burners.-A gas heater adapted for use as a gas fire or for heating ranges, boilers, &c. consists of a pan or equivalent receptacle containing a layer of sand or other loose granular non-combustible material supported by a sheet of wire-gauze or the like, or linen or like fabric, which may be protected by a metal grating. A layer of finely divided non-combustible material, such as asbestos wool, may be laid upon the surface of the sand &c. Fig. 1 shows a gas fire consisting of a divided pan A with a wire or linen fabric E supporting a layer G of sand &c. and a facing H of asbestos wool. Bunsen gas nozzles J supply a gas and air mixture to either or both parts of the underside of the fabric E. Corrugations or transverse ribs F in the fabric E stiffen it and prevent the sand &c. from slipping down. In a modification, the pan D is pivoted on a gas-supply pipe and may be adjusted in inclination and set by means of a rack. In another modification, the front half of the heater is nearly vertical and another form specially for the fire-space of a kitchen range is shaped in section like an inverted V. The nearly vertical surfaces have wire-nettings to keep the sand &c. in place. In adapting the invention to ' Well ' and like fires, the usual well serves as a pan A from which the gas-and-air mixture passes through a slightly convex or other piece of fabric E with sand &c. above it. Air is admitted through a grating in the hearth. For heating a stove oven, two small pans are inserted through the soot door and connected by a T- piece with gas-supply nozzles. A similar pan may be fitted in a tripod-like stand to serve as a boiling-ring. Fig. 9 shows a coiled-tube water heater heated by a structure consisting of sand &c. held between wire-gauze &c. fabric E and wire netting T, and a layer of asbestos wool &c. secured by an outer wire netting P. Gas and air are supplied by a pipe J and distributed by a perforated pipe Y ; partitions Z may be fitted as shown.
