Abstract: 26,001. Sch³ttler, P., Deutrich, J., and Deutrich, M. Nov. 28, 1911, [Convention date]. Void. [Published under Section 91 of the Act.] Spray carburettors.-The nozzle C is supplied from a float-chamber A through a restricted orifice B, and the fuel passage is extended at D' to a chamber D communicating with the atmosphere through an orifice E. Thus, upon a reduction of pressure in the mixing-chamber, the fuel is not compelled to overflow the nozzle but may flow, without change of direction, to the chamber D. The apparatus ensures a constant composition of mixture at all speeds. Effects of inertia of the fuel are obviated by the air entering at E spraying the fuel issuing at B, the combined air and fuel escaping from the nozzle C.

Abstract: 7822. Bromet, J., Thorman, F., and Wood, H. C. April 3. Rotary furnaces.-Sewage sludge is dried in passing through one or more rotary cylinders, heated externally by furnace gases, and internally by repeated circulation of hot air. The apparatus shown comprises two inclined communicating cylinders B, E, to the upper of which the sludge is fed through a tube C by a worm D. The material is agitated and broken up in the upper cylinder, first by fixed blades K, then by fixed teeth M co-operating with teeth L on the cylinder, and finally by ribs or vanes. The lower cylinder is also provided with ribs O, and a shoot H guides the material in its passage from one cylinder to the other. The heating-apparatus comprises a furnace S preferably for consuming refuse, from which the gases pass through a flue 5 to the space P surrounding the cylinders, and thence to the stack through the flues R of an air-heater Q. Air is drawn through the heater by a fan T and passes from the duct U and airbox J through the cylinders back to the fan. Fresh air may be supplied to the circuit through the opening I in the box J, while foul air is withdrawn by a smaller fan Z and delivered through dampered connexions either to the ashpit of the furnace or to the flue 5.

Title: Improvements in Hydraulic Weighing Machines.
Inventor: HELE-SHAW HENRY SELBY
IPC: G01G19/16
Filed: 1913-06-07
Granted: 1914-04-09
Abstract: 13,238. Shaw, H. S. Hele-. June 7. Hydrostatic apparatus.-Relates to weighing - apparatus wherein the load is ascertained by hydraulic pressure by the use of accuratelyfitting pistons without the use of packing or diaphragms and comprises means whereby leakage of the liquid under pressure is automatically made up. The invention is shown in connexion with a cranehook, but may be used in other forms of weighing - apparatus, as for example the platform weighing - machine described in Specification 28,306/12. The piston 9 fitting within a cylinder 7 is provided with a sliding cap 10 enclosing a chamber 14, within which is situated a spring 17. The chamber 14 communicates with the underside of the piston 9 and with a liquid-supply reservoir 8 by means of passages 11, 15 provided with non- return valves 12, 16. The weight of the load is indicated by a pressure gauge connected to the chamber beneath the piston 9. In operation, when leakage occurs past the piston 9 due to the load supported by the cap 10, the piston 9 sinks until the channel 11 opens communication between the underside of the piston and the chamber 14, whereupon liquid is forced from the chamber 14 to the underside of the piston to compensate for the leakage. On removal of the load, the spring 17 raises the cap 10 and the chamber .14 is replenished from the reservoir 8.

Flat extended surfaces, surfacing.-A machine for grinding slabs of stone comprises a grinder 12 mounted to rotate in one end of a crank 5 carried by a rotating shaft 3, and a turntable 22 in which are apertures 25 surrounded by adjustable guard rails 29. Slabs to be surfaced are placed over the apertures and within the guard-rails, and the table is swung round to bring a slab under the grinder. A verticallymovable shaft 30 under the grinder carries at its top a plate 26 with pins 27, and, on depression of a lever 32, the pins raise the slab and hold it in contact with the grinder. When the lever 32 is raised again, the pins 27 are clear of the turntable which may be rotated to present another slab to the grinder. The turntable is locked in position during grinding. Adjustment for wear of the tool is made by means of hand-wheel 18, and water is supplied to a ring aperture in the grinder from a pipe 15<1>, the waste water being collected in a trough 41.

Abstract: 22,109. Brill, C. I. Oct. 1. Fire-bridges. - To consume smoke in steamboiler and like furnaces, air for combustion is heated, before entering the furnace, in tubular passages of particular form arranged behind and in connexion with the fire-bridge. In the furnace shown in Fig: 1, air from the ash-pit passes through openings in the back-plate of the bridge controlled by a damper d to a number of airheating elements b of flattened curved tubular form which are inclined, as shown in Fig. 4, have sharp edges b<1>, and are of the cross-section shown in Fig. 5. The air passes from these elements to a chamber a in the bridge and escapes to the furnace between the tapered ribs r of a grating arranged at the top of the chamber a. Instead of admitting air to the elements b direct from the ash-pit, it may be supplied to them by separate passages arranged within or outside of the ash-pit.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Automatic Feed Water Regulators for Steam Generators.
Inventor: THOMPSON EDWIN GLADSTONE
IPC: F22D5/10
Filed: 1913-11-01
Granted: 1914-10-22
Abstract: 24,908. Thompson, E. G. Nov. 1. Feed - water, controlling. - In a feed - water regulator of the type in which a small proportion of the feed is allowed to leak past the balancing-element of the feed check valve, a differential valve o controls the port n between the inlet h of this water and the outlet l. When the float s falls, the valve r is opened, and the steam pressure on the lower face of the valve o overcomes the pressure of the leakage water and closes the port n. The feed is then forced into the boiler by the pressure of the pump. Any leakage of steam from the valve r passes to the outlet through the bore in the valve o, which is purposely made slightly larger than the diameter of the adjusting- spindle t.

Abstract: 27,224. Lorenzetti, A. Nov. 26. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Buoyancy motors.-A float is caused to fall and rise in a tank, supplied with water from a constantly running stream, by automatic admission of water to the float when it is at the surface and emptying of the water therefrom when it is submerged. Two sets of valves p, q, t, u operated by a tappet rod 7 alternately open ports k, l in the sides of the float d for the admission of water thereto and ports g, f in the bottom of the float for allowing the water to escape. The outflowing water passes through pipes h, which are attached to the float and either slide in stuffing-boxes in the bottom of the tank a or are made telescopic and attached to the bottom of the tank. Air escapes from the float through pipes 8, 9 when it is filling with water, and enters the float through pipes 13, 14 sliding inside the pipes 8, 9 when the float is emptying of water. Power is taken offfrom a lever 38 operated by a rod e attached to the float. The valves p, q, t, u may be replaced by multiple-ported rotary disk valves, and the pipes h may pass out at the sides of the tank instead of the bottom, being flexibly hinged in this case.
