Title: Improvements in Hand Paint-spraying Devices.
Inventor: GRAAFF WILLIAM
Filed: 1904-12-12
Granted: 1905-02-02
Abstract: 27,078. Graaff, W. Dec. 12. Painting.-Relates to a hand paint-spraying apparatus in which the paint reservoir is constructed so that the whole of the paint will flow away ; in the case of viscous paints, compressed air may be used for expelling the liquid. The paint is sprayed by means of compressed air, and means are provided whereby the air to the nozzle is supplied at the same time as that to the reservoir. Fig. 1 shows one form of the apparatus, the paint reservoir a being provided with a sloping bottom a' and the paint being led to a nozzle b by the pipe c. The compressed air passes through the pipe d to the reservoir u, from which it flows to the chamber w through chennels v. A stream of air is also led to the nozzle by a branch pipe g which is placed inside the pipe c. The valve q inside the cylinder t regulates the supply of compressed air to the nozzle, and the valve p connected to the valve q by the rod f permits of the communication of the paint reservoir with the atmosphere through the pipe l and orifice z. Both valves are operated by a push-button e. The spring at the base tends to keep the pipe d always closed. A valve n in the tube m controls the flow of compressed air from the air reservoir u to the paint reservoir a, and, when this valve is open, the orifice z is closed by the operator's finger. The handle is placed about the cylinder t. In the modification shown in Fig. 2, for spraying floors, the reservoir a is arranged horizontally, and the passage of air through the pipe d' to the air reservoir u<1> is controlled by a clip pinching the flexible tube o and operated by a push-button e<1>.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Evaporators, Feed Heaters and Condensers.
Inventor: MATHIESON DONALD
Filed: 1904-12-27
Granted: 1905-11-02
Abstract: 28,396. Mathieson, D. Dec. 27. Feedwater, heating.-Various forms of evaporators, feedwater - heaters, and condensers are described in which exchange of heat takes place while both liquids traverse a helical path. In the evaporator shown in Fig. 1 the liquid enters at C and flows around the hollow helix G, through the interior of which the steam passes from the inlet J to the outlet H. The helix is supported inside the cylinder E, which by being hinged to the casing A at E<1> can be swung outside for cleaning or repairs. Fig. 3 illustrates a modification, applicable to the heating of feedwater, in which the steam flows through the helical coils M, the water passing around them in the reverse direction. Fig. 5 represents a horizontal form of condenser, the steam entering at N' and taking a helical course to the outlet N', whilst the water passes through the lower half of the tubes R from the inlet S to the chamber P, returning to the outlet S<1> through the remaining tubes. In a vertical form of condenser the arrangement is similar, the fluid in the tubes, however, traversing the apparatus only once.
