Abstract: 886. Hamilton, W. L. Jan. 13. [Cognate Application, 10,635/10.] Elevated railways; tie-bars; rails, metallic builtup and non-metallic; rail sections.-An elevated track is composed of a series of longitudinal sections, each having some relative freedom and being wholly supported throughout its length by resting upon a cable in suspension. Each section comprises two ways E, Fig. 2, suspended from a yoke C resting on the cable A. The wheels G are retained by the flanges F or by guide-rollers. The wheels may be outside the sections, and only a single way E, Fig. 6, may be used. The wheels may run on a metal filling in the way E or on the crown E<1>, Fig. 15, and a metal tread N may be provided. The ways E may be separate and suspended from two cables A<1>, Fig. 20, and the joints of the sections, or the wheels, may be staggered. The sections may have wood or metal filling L with bolts &c. M. When the joints are square, the sections may be coupled together and across by U or T-shaped tiebars S loosely connected to lugs R<1> at each joint ; when the joints are staggered, the tie-bars are at one end connected to the centre of a section. An electric conductor W may be carried by these tiebars for traction purposes. The cables are provided at intervals with suspension supports X, Fig. 26, or depression stays. The first Provisional Specification states also that carrier vehicles may be substituted for hangers, and that an outer fence may extend upwards from the track and carry a guard at its head.

Granted: 1911-01-12
Abstract: 18,308. Lake, W. E., [Underfeed Stoker Co.]. Aug. 2. Mechanical stoking; grates; ashes &c., removing.-In an underfeed stoker, means are provided for positivelv moving the clinker &c. at the sides of the feed-trough towards the rear of the furnace, and for cutting-up the mass of clinker as it reaches the rear end. At the sides of the retorts or troughs 1 are slidably-mounted dead-plates 6 on to which the clinker &c. is pushed. Pivoted in apertures in the deadplates are dogs 7, those of each row being connected to a common operating-bar 8 reciprocated through linkage from the trough - charger. Shoulders 7<a>, 7<b> on the dogs 7 engage with the bar 8, but with some lost motion, so that as the dead-plates are reciprocated the dogs are oscillated, teeth 7<c> on the dogs being projected above the dead-plates on the rearward movement so as to stir the clinker &c. and carry it along. To prevent forward movement of the clinker &c., the tuyere blocks 5 at the edges of the troughs 1 are stepped, as shown in Fig. 1. The fixed dead-plate 19 at the rear has a cutting-edge with which a hook-shaped cutter 20 co-operates, both cutting-edges being preferably renewable. The cutter 20 is reciprocated in vertical T- guides through linkage operated from the charger. Its edge is slightly inclined, and in a modification where the cutter is formed in independent sections, their inclinations are opposed so that lateral pressures are balanced. The detached clinker is removed by a conveyer 27. The dead-plates 6 are supported on the edges of the troughs and on side plates 28, which latter project in part above the deadplates. The space beneath the dead-plates forms an air chamber from which the tuyeres 5 are supplied.

Abstract: 459. Gilbert, W. Jan. 7. Air and fuel supplies, regulating.-In connexion with a pulverulent - fuel burner for a rotary kiln, the air and fuel supplies are maintained in constant proportion by simultaneous regulation. In the arrangement shown, powdered fuel supplied by the screw conveyer d is blown through the burner tube e into the kiln by a blast from a high-pressure fan a, while an additional supply of air for combustion is delivered through the conduit h from a low-pressure fan g. The conveyer d is driven through belt-and-pulley gearing, and its speed, and consequently the fuel supply, is regulated by speed cones k, l and a belt-shifting fork mounted on a screwed shaft m operated from near the kiln by chains m, n<1>. The air supply is regulated by linked dampers i, and these are operated from a pulley on the shaft n through the chain o, worm and bevel gearing, and the cam q. The quantity of air supplied for a fixed amount of fuel may be varied by altering the point of connexion of the link v and lever w, a suitable slot being provided in the lever to allow adjustment. In a modification, where only a highpressure fan is used, the dampers i are mounted close to the conduit leading from the conveyer. An indicator y is provided for showing the amount of opening of the dampers. Instead of the speed cones shown, friction-disk variablespeed mechanism may be used.

Granted: 1911-12-07
Abstract: 3819. Harris, A. W. Feb. 15. Pneumatic carriage - returning mechanism.- In pneumatically-driven typewriters and calculating-machines of the kind described in Specification 25,015/08, a pneumatically operated piston is provided for returning the carriage. In the arrangement shown, the piston consists of telescopic members c, c<1>, c<2> mounted in a cylinder a communicating with a valve-casing e. The carriage-return key g, on depression, pushes inwards a plug f and thereby lifts a valve h to open the cylinder to a pressure-supply. When the key is released, the valve and the plug are returned by a spring i, and a valve j on the plug is opened by a spring k to permit air to escape from the cylinder. The key is held down by a catch t, which is released by the engagement of an abutment v on the carriage with a trip q, which is connected by links r to the catch. To reduce impact of the carriage stop, the abutment v may be set to release the catch before the carriage has been returned to initial position, the movement being completed by momentum; or impact may be reduced by constructing or arranging the returning-springs d so that the pressure of the piston on the carriage decreases. The piston may engage the carriage directly or multiplying-gearing may be interposed in which case a single instead of a telescopic piston may be provided. Line - spacing mechanism.-The line - spacing pawl p is connected by a link o to a lever n adapted to be engaged by the piston. The initial movement of the piston tilts the lever to effect line-spacing; at the end of the linespacing movement the lever is arrested by a stop, the further movement of the piston then returning the carriage.
