Title: Improvements in and relating to Air Circulating Systems.
Inventor: KNIGHT CHARLES DONALDSON
IPC: F24F3/00

Granted: 1910-10-13
Abstract: 6541. Knight, C. D., and Lum, W. O. March 17,1909, [Convention date]. Refrigerating, cold-air machines and processes for; cooling buildings.-Relates to a system of heating or cooling by circulation of air, the heat being that of compression and the cooling effect being derived from the expansion of compressed air. The compressor 11 is shown as driven by a gas-engine 10. To start the system, the valve device 13 is set to the position shown in dotted lines, and, if the circulation of cold air is desired, the valve device 16 will be as shown in full lines. Compressed air from the reservoir 23 now passes through the cooler 17 and the pipes 29, 30, and operates the compressor as a motor until the engine 10 starts. The valve 13 is then moved to the position shown, and the compressed air is delivered through the valve 15, pipe 29, valve 16, and cooler 17, to the tank 23. A valve 25 is arranged so that surplus air passes into an expanding cylinder 12 on the compressor shaft, and is exhausted through the pipe 26 at a low temperature. The cool air is then circulated through the piping system comprising a radiator 31 and returns to the valve 16 and escapes at 22. If it is desired to raise the temperature of the room &c., the valve 13 is moved to the starting-position, but the valve 16 will be moved after starting to the position shown in the dotted lines. Hot compressed air is now delivered through the pipes 29 direct to the pipes 18 and radiator 31, returning through the pipe 19, valve device 16, and blow-off valve 21, which may be arranged to keep a definite pressure in the system. The valve devices 13, 16 are operated by electromagnets, the current being controlled by thermostats so that the whole system when once set will operate automatically. In a modification, the compressor is driven by an electric motor, the starting- valve 13 being replaced by a suitable switch.

Granted: 1910-08-11
Abstract: 9860. Rogers, J. R. May 18, 1909, [Convention date]. Distributing matrices. - A line containing two founts of matrices C is distributed by bars A, A', the matrices being lifted by a finger H, which has a long or a short travel according to the fount of the presented matrix. The matrices of one fount are formed as usual without notches in the base, and thus deflect laterally the finger H to carry a step h<1> thereon under a fixed projection h<2>, so that the finger has a short travel and the matrices are presented to the bar A. The matrices of the other fount are formed in the base with notches c adapted to be engaged by lugs h<5> formed on a step h at the top of the finger H. When the lugs h<5> enter the notches c the finger is deflected laterally and carries the stop h<1> clear of the stop h<2> so that the finger has a long travel and carries the matrix above the bar A. The matrix thus lifted is held temporarily by a spring shoe J, and is then pushed up to the bar A' by the following matrix of the same fount. The finger H is pivoted to a lever h<3>, which is connected to a spring h<6> and to a slide h<7>, which is acted on by a cam h<8> on one of the screws F', the arrangement being such that the finger is depressed positively, and is lifted by the spring. In a modification, the shoe J is replaced by a hooked lifting-finger, which is actuated in the same manner as the finger H. Specification 14,582/90 is referred to.

Abstract: 14,460. Rund, J. June 15. Compound fabrics.-The envelopes of balloons are constructed of fabric having strong threads spaced at intervals on the weft and warp, and fixed to the material by a warp or weft thread, or a binding of net or gauze may be placed between smooth fabrics. To render the material gas-tight, a layer of fibrous material such as paper, felt, &c. is united to the fabric by chrome glue. When a thin layer of indiarubber is used to obtain a high degree of gastightness, the fibrous material may be yellow, in order to prevent decomposition of the rubber by light rays. To prevent diffusion of heat through the material, the outer surface is kept bright, and a layer of paper, felted wool, thin flannel, &c. is provided on the inner surface.

Granted: 1911-11-23
Abstract: 13,106. Chrisman, H. Aug. 29, 1910, [Convention date]. Disk-engine type governing and regulating.-A meter for registering normal flows of fluid is adapted to be closed and moved out of the path of the fluid by an abnormal flow, the movement opening the outlet of an additional meter, which registers abnormal flows. The meters 1, 2 may be, as shown, of the wobblydisk type. Water, flowing normally from the pipe 6 to the pipe 4, passes to the meter 1 through a port 20 controlled by a valve 16. This port is formed in a cover 14 extending from a disk. 8, which is integral with the meter casing and supports the same, being hinged to the fixed pipe casing at its upper end. The disk 8 is normally seated against a fixed sleeve 9, which is provided with an annular recess 21 communicating with the atmosphere through a passage 22. When the pressure difference on the two sides of the meter 1 exceeds a fixed limit the abnormal flow of water swings the meter out of its path, and the movement releases a lever 17, allowing a spring 19 to close the inlet valve 16. The same movement of the disk 8 uncovers the outlet 34 of an additional meter 2, which thereupon registers the abnormal flow, and also permits a valve 24, Fig. 4, to close the air passage 22, the water passing through a passage 29 to the back 25 of the valve and forcing the valve shoulder against its seat, thereby preventing an escape of water through the air passage 22. When normal condiitons are resumed the disk 8, carrying the meter 1, swings back to its seat, opening the valves 16, 24, and closing the outlet 34. Specification 172/11 is referred to.
