Granted: 1913-11-18
Abstract: 26,418. Kermode, J. J. Nov. 18. [Cognate Application, 10,843/13.] Spray burners.-In liquid-fuel burners of the kind described in Specification 4093/12, the size of the oil-passages 14 in the end of the barrel 2 is varied to suit the particular nozzle plate 33 employed by forming the end of the barrel 2 with interchangeable grooved spools 2<a>, Fig. 7, and the nozzle plates 33 are adapted to give different shapes of spray as well as various rates of feed of oil. The spools 2<a> are formed with grooves 14, 15, and with a conical rear surface a to engage a corresponding surface on the barrel 2. The jointing surfaces a may be plane surfaces, or one part may be provided with a spigot and the other part with a socket. The nozzle plates 33 corresponding to a particular spool 2<a> are all of the same bore d, Fig. 6, which is preferably the sum of the areas of the oil-passages' in the face of the spool, but the depths r of the cylindrical recesses are varied, thus giving various lengths s of bore and consequently different degrees of dispersion of the jet. If the nozzle plate is recessed, it may be formed in one with the end cap 8. The zero pointer, which is used with the graduated wheel 20 on the spindle 3, is made adjustable in order that it may correspond with the closed position of the spindle for any of the plates 33. Specification 12,040/07 is also referred to.

Abstract: 14,597. Innerd, G., and Young, W. June 24. Catch gear of mine-cage type.-Comprises a combination of parts forming a safety suspending-apparatus for lift cages, of the type in which a pair of shafts carrying cam - shaped guideengaging grips are arranged transversely across the top of the lift cage and are turned into the non-engaging position against the action of springs by cords connected at one end to the shafts and at some other point to the suspension apparatus of the cage. The apparatus comprises a central bracket l through which passes transverse shafts c, c<1> mounted in bearings d and carrying cam grips e. Springs are connected to arms k on the shafts and to the central bracket. Cords h, connected at their ends to the corners of the cage and to pulleys i on the shafts, are passed through the suspension ring of the cage, and normally rotate the shafts against the action of the springs so that the cams are disengaged from the guides. An alternative arrangement of the parts is shown for cages having four guide ropes. The transverse shafts are arranged at opposite sides of the cage, and the guides are gripped between the cams and brackets on the corners of the cage.

Temperature errors, compensating for; commutator motor meters.-In a meter for measuring a load subjected to varying voltage, means are provided for compensating for temperature errors in the pressure winding due to the variation in current. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 2, the armature 6 is connected with a resistance 8 in parallel with the load 3, the current through which is controlled by a rheostat 4. The field winding 7 is connected in series with the load. Compensation is effected by means of an auxiliary field winding 9, which may be the usual friction-compensating winding, connected between points on the rheostat 4 and a resistance 12, 13 in parallel with it. The voltage across the compensating-coil 9 may be varied by means of a resistance 15, or two resistances in parallel connected to different points on the rheostat 4. In the modification shown in Fig. 4, a specially-graduated resistance 22 is connected in series with the coil 9, and the contact-arm 25 is coupled with that of the main rheostat 21. In another modification, the compensating-coil is omitted, and a resistance in series with the armature is variable by a slider having another contact moving over the resistance 4.
