Title: Improvements in and relating to Steam Superheaters for Locomotive and like Tubular Boilers.
Inventor: STIRLING JAMES HAMILTON
IPC: F22G7/06
Filed: 1912-06-17
Granted: 1913-05-29
Abstract: 14,134. Stirling, J. H. June 17. Plates, securing tubes to.-The tubes of steam superheaters are secured to the header in such a way that they can be withdrawn without removing the securing-bolts, and any bolt can be removed without disconnecting or interfering with any tube. In addition, the nuts of the bolts are disposed on the top of the header out of the path of the hot gases. Figs. 3 and 4 show the arrangement. The tube-ends of each element d are expanded in a flange i, the flanges of adjacent elements being secured to the header by a bolt j, with or without a clamping-plate l. The bolts are formed with spherical heads and are passed through sleeves k expanded into the top and bottom walls of the header. Rings n of copper &c. make the joints tight. In assembling the parts, the bolts and clamping-plates are placed in position, with the plates forming guides along which the flanges i of the elements are slid into place. The nuts are then tightened, the bolts being prevented from turning by feathers m and by the plates l butting against each other. Instead of spherical heads, the bolts may have tee heads, the arms of the tee being circular; the bolts at the ends of the header have tee heads with lateral projections j'. If desired, spring washers may be fitted on the bolts between the plates l and the face of the header.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Money Paying and Listing Machines.
Inventor: BILYEU THOMAS
Filed: 1912-07-10
Granted: 1913-04-12
Abstract: 16,184. Bilyeu, T., and Overlin, W. S. July 10. Type-bar actions.-In a money-delivering machine, the amount issued is printed by typebars 80, 82 which are controlled by the depressed keys, the printing being performed by the actuating-handle 3. The lower ends of the keys rest normally above arms 88<1> on levers pivoted at the base of the machine, all the arms 88<1> for the keys of any series being attached to a lever 87. The arms 88<1> are arranged at different heights so as to receive different angular displacement from different keys. By this means the lever 87 is set in position to engage different teeth on a stepped plate 85, which is attached to the type-bars 80, 82. The type-bars 80, 82 are normally supported by a plate 59, which slides in a guide-plate 60 and is first lowered and then raised at each operation of the actuating-handle. Hammer-impression arrangements. - An arm 96, Fig. 10, on a shaft 94 operates the platen 98. Key interlocks.-Each group of keys 1 for farthings, pence, shillings, and pounds co-acts with a locking-piece 44, 44<a>, 44<b>, 44<c> engaging projections 49 on the keys to lock any key in its depressed position until another key of the group is depressed. A special release key 2 with a projection 2<a> serves to release all the keys if the operation of the machine is not to be completed and is not itself locked. The members 44, 44<a>, 44<b>, 44<c> are also released by the final movement of a disk 21, Fig. 7, during which the pin 42 lifts the lug 31<b> into engagement with the member 44, which engages lugs on the other locking-members and releases these also, leaving the keys free for displacement to their normal position. The main actuator has a full-stroke device comprising the toothed disk 21 and a pawl 22 and is normally locked by a tooth 31<a> on a pivoted locking-plate 31, which is released by the depression of any key 1, which depresses the release plate 36 and through the levers 38, 39, 40 withdraws the tooth 31<a> from the disk 21, and leaves the disk free to be rotated. Web-feeding arrangements; line-spacing mechanism.-The plate 59 supports a frame 63, which slides in vertical guides to display the record and carries a paper store-reel 67 and a ratchet-driven take-up reel 68 actuated by the lever 71 engaged by the lug 75 on the frame 63 when the frame is lowered. When the actuating-handle is rotated, the plate supporting the type-bars and frame 63 is lowered. The frame 63 is stopped by fixed lugs in a position to place the next space on the paper opposite the inkribbon 99. Ink-ribbon mechanism.-The ink-ribbon 99 is fed alternately by pawls 104, 105, Fig. 10, controlled for reversal by a finger-piece 103.

Granted: 1913-07-29
Abstract: 17,517. Elders & Fyffes, Prim, A. W., and Roper, F. W. July 29. Heating by electricity. - In apparatus for heating, cooling, and ventilating railway freight vans, the vans are provided with air-conduits having electric heaters supplied with current from a dynamo driven from an axle, the dynamo being controlled by one or more thermostats. As shown in Fig. 1, the van is heat-insulated. and the heaters C are arranged in a conduit B, air being admitted at the bottom and circulated by means of fans D. A partition b<3> divides the conduit. Air may also pass through adjustable openings b<4>. Louvers E admitting air to the conduit, or to the van directly, and doors f<2> are provided at each end, for controlling the supply of air during warm weather. The louvers E and fans D may be controlled thermostatically. The dynamo is connected with means for maintaining a constant potential, and is controlled by a thermostat of the type described in Specification 16,317/12, [Class 38(v), Electric switches &c.], in which the expansion of a rod causes strips h<1> to close the circuit of an clectro-magnet k<1> when the temperature is excessive, so as to insert a resistance g<3> in the field circuit, thereby reducing the current. Several thermostats may be used in series. The heaters, consisting of a resistance wound on mica. frames and covered with mica, are mounted in spring recesses c<3>, Fig. 4, on a, zigzag frame c<2> in an iron casing. In a modiiicd arrangement for use in Continental trains, the heaters are arranged at the sides, and the conduits extend laterally across the top of the van.

Granted: 1913-08-05
Abstract: 17,935. Sutcliffe, E. R. Aug. 2. Briquetting processes.-In the treatment of ores prior to briquetting, the ore is first preheated or calcined, next partly reduced to the metallic state, and then weathered by exposure to the atmosphere for the production of oxide which acts as a binding-agent during subsequent compression. The gas generated during the reduction may be utilized for the calcining or preheating.

Granted: 1913-08-05
Abstract: 18,022. Escott, A. E., and Escott, H. A. Aug. 3. [Cognate Application, 21,742/12.] F i x e d - abutment type; packing drums, vanes, etc.; working- fluid supply.-A rotor carries one or more pairs of outwardlysliding vanes with a pocket between each pair, the rear vane compressing the charge into the pocket which conveys it past the concentric part of the casing to the point where it is ignited to propel the forward vane. Pockets b, b<1> are formed in a rotor a between the outwardly-sliding vanes c, d, c<1>, d'. The casing f comprises an eccentric compression chamber h connected by concentric surfaces with an eccentric combustion chamber g of narrower width than the chamber h. The vanes d, d<1>, which are of the full width of the chamber h, compress the charge admitted by a port i into the pockets b, b<1>, which convey the charge to the sparking-plug l, and the impact of the explosion is received by the vanes c, c<1>, which are adapted to extend into the narrow chamber g, exhaust taking place through a port k. Air for cooling or scavenging may be supplied to the inlet port at intervals by a suitable valve. The casing may be fitted with spring-pressed roller packing m, and the vanes may have packing-strips p, Fig. 4, pressed apart by a spring r. In a modification, both eccentric chambers are of the same width, and the vanes, which are also of the same width, are controlled in their radial motion by cam grooves in the end covers of the casing. The first Provisional Specification describes also a construction in which the vane travelling in front of each pocket is dispensed with, the pocket itself providing the impact surface.
