Title: Improvements in Means for Obtaining Better Combustion of the Fuel in the Furnaces of Steam Generators and the like.
Inventor: SMITH THOMAS MILLAR
IPC: F23L9/00
Filed: 1909-05-22
Granted: 1910-03-03
Abstract: 12,110. Smith, T. M. May 22. Air, supplying.-Relates to means for heating the air supply for steam-generator or like furnaces and delivering it above the fire or into the flues, the essential feature in all the modifications being the employment of preheating-pipes or chambers arranged directly in the course of, and fully exposed to, the hot gases. As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, air from the atmosphere enters one of the passages 1, 2 having vertically sliding valves 3, 4 and passes through the preheating - pipes 5 to the other passage, whence it flows into the heating-chambers 7, 8 and escapes therefrom through perforations. Air is also delivered from a hollow arch 6 having a slide 13, and from a pipe 10 connected to a chamber 9 provided with a valved inlet 14. In the modification shown in Fig. 5, the preheating- chambers 8<b>, connected with the atmosphere, deliver air to a passage 8<d>, whence it passes to the perforated chambers 8<a> ; a similar arrangement may be employed in connexion with the chambers 7a, or, as shown, these chambers may be connected directly with the atmosphere. As applied to a multitubular, externally-fired boiler, the hollow arch is dispensed with, and the passages 1, 2 are connected by pipes arranged in the flue behind the bridge, the hot air being discharged through chambers arranged similarly to the chambers 7, Fig. 1, and through an opening in the top of a hollow bridge. In this type of boiler furnace, the air may be heated in the return side flues. In the furnace shown in Figs. 10 and 11, a centtal chamber 1<b>, having a dampered air inlet, is connected by preheating-pipes 5b with side chambers 2<b>, 3<b>, from tach of which the air passes to one of the hollow arches 6<b> and to the hollow bridge.

Abstract: 24,188. Smeets, E. Oct. 21. Springs, arrangement of and mounting bodies and undercarriages on.-In a shock-absorber or anti-vibration device particularly applicable to cycles and other road vehicles, each end of the road-wheel axle is mounted in the outer extremity h of an arm g, pivoted at its opposite end within a sector-shaped casing a fitted to the fork or frame of the vehicle, a cushioning- spring m being arranged between the arm and the upper wall of the casing. The casing is secured to the fork extremity on the outer side by means of a bolt c and a nut, rotation of the casing being prevented by means of a stop thereon engaging the fork member. The spring is retained in position by means of a pin n upon the casing and a recess p in the upper face of the arm.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Turn-tables and Bridges.
Inventor: ALBERTS ERNST
IPC: E01D15/04
Filed: 1909-11-05
Granted: 1910-02-24
Abstract: 25,532. Alberts, E. Nov. 5. Turntables.-In order to avoid shocks to centrallysupported bridges and turntables when vehicles pass on or off them, they are fitted with two or more fluid-pressure relieving-devices. The device comprises a piston secured under the ends of the framework and a cylinder adapted to reciprocate on the piston and, when in use, bed on a supporting-surface. Figs. 1 and 3 show the application of the device to a railway turntable adapted to rotate on a pivot m The pressure is supplied from any suitable source through pipes d to the ports e in the pistons c. The cylinders b are thus forced to descend until they rest on a rail or other bed and firmly support the ends of the turntable or bridge during the passage of the vehicles. When the pressure is discharged, the cylinders rise under the influence of weights or springs. To enable the turntable to support loads at one side only, the stroke of the cylinders are limited by bolts i. To prevent the passage of fluid into or from the cylinders through leakage &c., when the cylinders are inoperative, they are provided with a valve body g adapted to engage a seating h.

Abstract: 9099. Soc. Anon. des Etablissements P. Bonvillain & E. Ronceray, and Ronceray, E. April 17. Moulding- machines; clamping and guiding flasks. -Moulding-machines, of the type described in Specification 8817/11, are provided with special ramming and pattern-supporting arrangements and are arranged to permit the sand mould to be expelled from the flasks. The pattern plate 10 is carried by a threepoint suspension from a frame 9 rotatable and slidable on the column 3 as limited by a collar 12. The false bottom 31 and ramming-head are carried by a tubular ram 19 containing a ram 20 above an air - cushion and carrying the flask 30 by a cross - head. Ramming is effected by admitting water to the long-stroke small-diameter cylinder 17<1>. The piston 20 is raised by the air-cushion and the flask 30 contacts with and raises the pattern plate and flask 32 against the fixed head 5. Pressure water is then admitted below the short-stroke largediameter piston 19 to complete the ramming. Spring - controlled catches 34 oscillatable downwards and outwards are engaged under pins 33 of the upper flask and a vibrator is actuated. Water is discharged from the cylinder 17, and the pattern plate descends on to its support and the bottom flask continues its descent. The pattern plate is now swung aside and the bottom flask is again raised and is connected to the top flask by catches 44, Fig. 4. Correct registration is ensured by a pair of diagonally placed dowel pins 40. Sand is prevented from lodging above the pins by inclines 42 and the catches 44 are protected by rubber or leather shields 47. The catches 34 are released and the water is again discharged from the cylinder 17, and pressure water is admitted at 48. When the nut 26 carried by the piston 27 strikes the stop 28, the descent of the inner piston is arrested and through an adjustable screw 24 that of the outer one also. The water entering at 48 then serves to raise the false bottom and push the moulds out of the flasks.
