Title: Improvements in Tip Waggon Mechanism.
Inventor: HAYLING HENRY SMITH
Filed: 1903-08-04
Granted: 1903-12-31
Abstract: 15,215. Hayling. H. S. Aug. 4. Tip-wagons. - Tip-wagon mechanism comprises suitable frames and wheel gearing, placed at each end of the body. An adjustable frame h, having a slide block e with an elongated aperture or bearing d for the trunnion c of the wagon, rests on either of the sides o of a fixed frame x. Within the frame h is a revoluble screw i, which has a bevel-wheel j gearing with a wheel k on the spindle of the spurwheel l. This wheel gears with the pinion m, which is rotated, if desired, by a lever handle n. The wheels k, l, m are mounted on the frame h. The stops s prevent the frame from being lifted out, while its end may be locked by passing a pin t through the slot u. On turning the handle n, the body begins to rise. At the same time, it begins to tip, by reason of one of its lower edges being detained by the abutment q. If it is desired to tip the wagon on the other side, the frame h may be reversed so that it lies on the opposite side of the fixed frame by first turning the handle n in a direction opposite to that for lifting. When this is done, the body of the wagon remaining stationary, the trunnion will pass to the top of the slot d, and further rotation will raise the frame h clear of the frame x. The pin t, allowing only a slight movement, is then removed and the frame may be swung over on its pivot c.

Granted: 1905-02-02
Abstract: 18,444. Wheatley, W. H., [Gr÷nbladh, 0.]. Aug. 25. Lamp stoves; oil burners.-Relates to a portable petroleum stove for cooking and heating purposes. The burner is constructed so as to effect complete combustion of the fuel and thus prevent the formation of smoke or smell. The petroleum is contained within an annular vessel 2, Fig. 1, in the central opening of which are arranged the wicktubes 4, 5, supported by a tube 7. This tube communicates at each end with the vessel 2, and, by means of perforations, with the wick chamber, so that petroleum flows through the perforations and saturates the wick. The upper part of the outer wick-tube 4x is detachable, and encloses a shorter tube 8, provided internally with teeth which grip the wick, and externally with a rack 9, guided in a slot within the outer wick-tube, and engaging with a pinion 10 by means of which the tube 8 and the wick are raised. The spindle of the pinion 10 is mounted in the shell or mantle 12. A conical cap 13, Figs. 1 and 3, is supported on top of the wick and rises and falls with it. The cap is flanged at the top and is pierced near the top edge, tongues 13<x> being bent inwards to rest upon the top of the wick. The portions of the cap between the holes are curved inwards to retain the cap in a central position. A small space is thus left within the cap all around the top of the wick, and also above the top of it, to allow air to enter and mingle with the vapours of hydrocarbon, which burn with a large blue flame and ascend through the central opening of the cap 13 and burner plate 14, arranged above the cap and detachably or otherwise fixed to the shell 12, or chimney 16. A vertical tube 17 supports a deflector 15, which is placed on a level with, or slightly below, the burner plate 14. Air is supplied to the burner through the space around the wick-tubes, and through openings 12x in the shell 12. A ring 20 within the chimney serves to protect or calm the flame. A detachable support 18, with a grate 19, is fitted to the top of the chimney to receive boilers, pans, and the like, and a window 21 is provided to observe the flame. A support for a boiler may be arranged within the chimney, and an oven may be sunk down in the chimney which may be provided with a door. When the stove is used for warming rooms, the support 18 is removed and replaced by a flat cover or lid, between which and the ring 20 is suspended a flat plate, which spreads the ascending gases and brings them in contact with the sides of the chimney before they escape through side holes beneath the cover. The bottom of the chimney may be perforated to provide additional air supply, and air may also be provided through the tube 17 and a central opening 15x in the deflector. A float 28 in the vessel 2 indicates the amount of petroleum in the vessel.
