Title: Improvements in the Art of Condensing Steam or Cooling Fluids.
Inventor: COLWELL THOMAS M
Filed: 1901-05-16
Granted: 1901-07-27
Abstract: 10,212. Colwell, T. M. April 8, [date applied for under Sec. 103 of Patents &c. Act, A.D. 1883]. Condensers.-Comprises improvements in the art of condensing steam based upon the heat-absorbing power of air containing aqueous vapour, which is stated to be much greater than that of an admixture of air with fog, mist, spray, or steam. Fig. 1 shows, by way of example, suitable means for charging air with aqueous vapour as distinguished from fog, mist, spray, or steam, and for bringing it into effective propinquity to the steam to be condensed or fluid to be cooled, and afterwards expanding or rarefying it and finally rapidly drawing it off. The steam to be condensed enters at 3, and after expansion in the neck 4 and hood 5 passes over the straight tubes 6, through which the air containing aqueous vapour is being drawn. The water of condensation is withdrawn at 2. The tubes 6 are open to the atmosphere at one end, but are covered at the other end by a hood 7 connected to an exhauster 9. Opposite the open ends of the tubes, spray is discharged in just sufficient quantity to load the air entering the tubes with aqueous vapour without allowing any surplus water to enter.

Granted: 1905-09-14
Abstract: 11,581. Spears, H. H. Aug. 20, 1904, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Moulding bricks.-Concrete is placed in a multiple mould and pressed between the hinged lid of the mould and an upwardly - moving plunger, operated by a hand-wheel, cam, and lever. A mould 2, shown in front elevation in fig. 1, consists of four side-pieces, and is divided into compartments by metal plates 3, which slide through slots in the front of the mould and are connected at their front ends by rods 4. A wooden lid 7, shown open in Fig. 1, is connected by pin-and-slot joints to two pivoted bars 32, Fig. 3, and is provided on the lower surface with a number of plates, between which are left grooves g corresponding to the positions of the slides 3. Two coiled springs on a shaft 8 throw the lid back when the latter is released from two catches 27 on a bent rod 9, the backward movement of the lid being limited by a bar 31. The plunger (not shown) is mounted on a rod 16 and actuated by a hand-wheel 10 through a pinion 19, spur-wheel 11, cam 22, lever 17, and a link 23. The lever 17 is pivoted at 18, and consists of two bars, connected by a bolt 26 at the end touched by the cam. In charging the mould, a board is placed on the plunger and sufficient concrete introduced to reach several inches above the top of the slides 3, which slightly exceed in height the thickness of the pressed brick. As the plunger rises, it lifts the slides 3 until they enter the grooves g in the lid, thus completing the separation of the bricks. At this stage, a tappet on the wheel 11 strikes a spur 28, thus rotating a shaft 12, having a wedge-shaped projection 13, Fig. 3, which, by coming into contact with the bar 9, releases the catches 27 and allows the lid 7 to spring up. The slides 3 are drawn out on to a platform 15. A pinion 5, which gears with a rack 6, mounted on a rod 22, keeps the motion of the slides straight. The bricks are then forced out of the mould by the plunger and removed on the board.
