Granted: 1910-09-29
Abstract: 6085. Leask, H. N. Sept. 29, 1909. [Cognate Application, 7549/10.] Refuse-consuming furnaces; grates; doors; air supply, heating. - The door extends the whole width of the furnace, and the grate is fitted with a bar or bars extending the length of the furnace and turned up at the inner end, so that when drawn or pushed forward in any suitable manner they remove the clinker from the grate through the door. The heat of the clinker may be utilized for heating the air supply, which may be passed through a chamber containing a truck carrying discharged clinker; or the truck itself may be so constructed that air can be blown through it and the clinker. Fig. 1 shows the clinker - removing bars D applied to a refuse-destructor of ordinary construction. The bars D are arranged in troughs or boxes a<3> and mounted on rollers m<2> to facilitate their movement. Air may be supplied through the boxes, from which it escapes around the bars D to the fire. The boxes a<3> may be omitted if desired. The bars D are specially applicable to trough grates as shown in Fig. 5. The head d of the bar D, when in its innermost position, lies within a recess a<4> formed in the back of the furnace so that it is removed from the fierceness of the fire. The head d, however, may be made removable and attached from the back of the furnace through a door only when it is desired to draw the clinker. Figs. 11 and 12 show modified forms of bar heads which may be employed. The bar D may be notched at the edges or perforated to allow for the passage of air around or through it for cooling purposes. The operation of the bar D, which is mounted on rollers or balls, is facilitated by " jigging " apparatus comprising a lift bar or bars j<2>, Fig. 5, adapted to engage the bar at the front, back, or middle, or at two or all of these positions, and pivoted to the end of the crank arm j<1>, which is mounted on a rotatable shaft or rod j. Any suitable means for drawing or pushing out the bar or bars D may be employed. such as a winch or hydraulic or other ram. Where a number of grates are arranged side by side, a travelling winch may be adapted to operate all the bars D. An opening or recess at the back of the furnace closed by a door K, Fig. 5, receives any ash or clinker that may remain in the furnace when the bar D is reinserted after withdrawing the clinker.

Abstract: 12,265. British Thomson-Houston Co., [General Electric Co.]. May 18. Systems for maintaining a constant speed ratio between an induction motor and a continuous current motor. - An induction motor and a continuous-current motor are controlled so that a fixed ratio is maintained between their speeds by means responsive to variations in the speed of the induction motor varying the field strength of the continuous-current motor. The system is shown applied to rolling mills, where the rollers K are driven by the induction motor A and the finishing-rollers L by the continuouscurrent motor E. A small resistance D is connected permanently in the circuit of the rotor B of the induction motor. The field coil F<1> of the motor E is supplied from the dynamo H, driven by an auxiliary induction motor G, the stator of which is connected to the rotor brushes of the main induction motor. The field coil h of the dynamo H is connected to the continuous - current mains e. As the load on the induction motor A increases, the speed of the auxiliary motor G increases, since the frequency of the current supplied to its stator increases. The current in the field winding F' is strengthened and the speed of the motor E is diminished. A circuit-breaker J breaks the circuit of the motor G when the slip in the main motor A is abnormal.

Title: A Safety Catch Device for Sporting Guns.
Inventor: FUEKERT GUSTAV
IPC: F41A17/62
Filed: 1911-04-20
Granted: 1912-01-25
Abstract: 9663. F³kert, G. April 20. Breech-actions, drop-down barrel.-Relates to safety-mechanism for sporting guns of the type in which a safety-bolt is provided with catches adapted to be moved over inwardly-projecting ends of the sears, which catches are moved towards the locking position against the ends of the sears so that, when the sears are lowered by cocking the hammers, the catches pass over and lock the sears. According to the invention, the catches are mounted to swing in a vertical plane. A slide b, Figs. 1 and 3, has catches d pivoted upon a pin c and acted upon by springs e. An arm f at the rear end of the slide b carries a pin g which is engaged by a spring h, the spring tending to move the slide to the rear in any position but that shown in Fig. 1. A hand-setting device i is connected by a pin k and arm i<1> to the slide b. Each tumbler n has notches q, q<1> to engage the short arm of the sear p, the notch q<1> being deeper than the notch q in order to retain the rear end of the sear p in a slightly lower position when the hammer is cocked than when it is not. A slide u operated from the top-lever s engages the slide b to move it rearwards when the gun is opened, thus causing the pin g to engage the curved part of the spring h. As the catches d engage the sear bars r, the slide b is prevented from moving backwards, under the action of the spring h. Cocking either hammer allows the rear end of the corresponding sear to drop, and the corresponding spring e moves one of the catches d over the sear bar. When both hammers are cocked, the slide b and both catches move backwards due to the action of the spring h.

Title: Improvements in Steam Traps.
Inventor: REID THOMAS
IPC: F16T1/06
Filed: 1911-06-19
Granted: 1912-01-11
Abstract: 14,442. Reid, T. June 19. Steam - traps. - The outlet valve is controlled by the lateral movement produced by the expansion of two members made of the same metal or of metals having nearly equal coefficients of expansion so as to discharge water at all pressures. In the trap shown in Fig. 1, the controlling-members consist of two U- tubes 30, 31 secured at their free ends to a head-piece with an adjustable stop 37 for a pivoted arm 33 which acts upon the valve lever. Condensation water passes through the upper U-tube 30 to a chamber 40, from which it passes through the lower U-tubes 31 to a reservoir 42. When sufficient water has collected in the lower U-tube, the latter contracts and depresses the arm 33, thus opening the valve 7. The arm 33 also carries a set-screw 38, which engages the valve-lever and operates the valve when the temperature falls say to 212‹ F. The valve may also be opened by means of a handle 20 or a foot-lever ; it is mounted freely on its stem, and is rotated by inclined vanes 24 when steam or water passes through it. The upper tube 30 may have an insulating-covering 18 and the lower tube 31 radiating-fins 17. In the trap shown in Fig. 4, the controlling-members consist of tubes 3, 5, and water enters and leaves by inner concentric tubes 2, 6, the valve being placed between the inner and outer of the lower tubes 5, 6. The valve chamber is secured to the tubes 3, 5 and the valve 7 is connected by a valve-rod 14 to a curved link 50 connected to a lever 49 which is urged by a spring 61 against an adjustable stop 37. The valve is opened at low pressures by the abutment of a set-screw 47 against an arm 48 on the lever 49. In a modification, the valve opens against the steam pressure. In the trap shown in Fig. 7, the outer of each pair of concentric tubes is secured to a tie-rod 58 of metal having a low coefficient of expansion, the valve-chamber being attached to the lower member and the valve connected to a curved link 60 controlled by the upper member. At low pressures, the tube 3 engages a set-screw 47, which prevents further depression of the valve. In a modification, the valve opens in the same direction as the steampressure. Specification 22,593/11 is referred to.
