Title: Improvements in and relating to Burners for Petroleum Stoves and the like
Inventor: LINDQVIST FRANS WILHELM
Filed: 1905-01-03
Granted: 1905-06-15
Abstract: 156. Lindqvist, F. W. Jan. 3. Vapour burners. - In order to prevent the transmission of heat to the hand-wheel of a valve for regulating the supply of vapour to a petroleum stove burner or the like, the spindle is made in two parts detachably connected by a screw union or by other means. Fig. 1 shows a section of the valve. The smaller part c, resting in the stuffing-box d, may be made of material having the same or nearly the same coefficient of expansion as that of the stuffing- box, in order to keep it tight when hot, and the outer part g may be of some bad conductor of heat. A vice-like piece l, fixed to the stuffing- box at one end, supports the screwed portion of the outer part g, and renders the " nut " k accessible. In order to catch any oil leaking past the packing before the burner becomes hot, the support l is made trough-shaped in section in its lower part, or in both parts as at m, Fig. 2. The drops of oil become vaporized and the vapour is drawn towards the burner and consumed, thus preventing a bad smell.

The coil 2, Figs. 1 and 2, of an electric meter is in circuit with the thermo-electric pyrometer, while a contact-arm 5, carried by but insulated from the coil, and two adjustable stops 9, 10 are arranged in a relay circuit. This circuit controls the passage of a current through electromagnets 7,8, which operate maximum and minimum markers 24, 25 and switches 26, 27 con trolling the circuits through the alarm. The markers 24, 25 are adjusted to the positions on the recording - d rum 17 corresponding to the required maximum and minimum temperatures, and are clamped in adjusted position by screws 29. The contacts 9, 10 are similarly adjusted along a slot 18 and clamped in position by nuts 19. Rotating contacts, such as are described in Specification No. 1867, A.D. 1866, [Abridgment Class Electricity, Measuring &c.], are used, motion being imparted to them from the recording-drum through the gearing shown. As shown in Fig. 4, the contact-arm 5 moves over a number of metal disks 30 separated by mica sheets and connected to a rheostat 34. The cylinder made up of the disks 30 is inwardly or outwardly curved according to the position of the end of the contact-arm 5. This arm and the rheostat are in circuit with a motor 32, the speed of which varies with the position of the arm. The marker 39 is operated so as to make a continuous record on the drum 17, by a governor 35 of the form shown operated by the motor. A ring 37 on the governor sleeve operates the marker 39, and a contact-disk 38 may act in conjunction with maximum and minimum contacts 41, 42 to control the circuit of an alarm.

Abstract: 4604. Schroeder, A., and Hentschel, W. Feb. 24. Mechanical toys. - Relates to speed-regulating mechanism for watches &c., also applicable tomechanical toys. The hair-spring is dispensed with, and the regulation effected by moving the pallets towards or away from the scape wheel. A swinging frame 40, pivoted at 13 to the upper watch plate 50, carries the verge 18 and balance spindle 19b in the overhanging portions 41. A lever 18a on the verge is formed at one end with a fork 28 embracing the spindle of the scape wheel 11, while a rack 29 at the other end engages a pinion 19a on the arbor of the balance wheel 19. A coarse adjustment may be obtained by turning the frame 40 by a key applied to the square. 13c, thereby carrying the pallets 26 on the verge towards or away from the scape wheel, and increasing or diminishing the duration of their engagement, and thence that of each beat. To compensate automatically for the diminishing force as the mainspring unwinds, a nut 38 gradually descends the screwed arbor 39 of the mainspring, and, by bearing on the parallel upwardly-extending arms 30<c> of the lever 30, which is pivoted to the upper plate at 30<e>, turns that lever, the other upwardlyextending arm 30<b> of which rotates the crank 21e, by bearing on the pins 21d, and thence turns the cam-piece, 21, which in turn rocks the frame 40 by means of the L-shaped piece 20 pivoted to it at 20d. Thus, the pallets 26 are moved farther from the scape wheel as the mainspring unwinds. A fine adjustment may be obtained. by turning the frame 20 by means of the lever 17<a> and campiece 17<b>. Pins 25 attached to a frame on the barrel pass through the nut 38, preventing its rotation. In an extreme position, the arms of the fork 28 are adapted to strike the spindle of the scape wheel as it rocks, and the scape wheel may be locked by or entirely freed from the pallets. In an alternative arrangement, a pointer, which can be moved over a graduated sector, carries a pinion gearing with a rack on the swinging frame 40, the mainspring adjustment being dispensed with.
