Title: Improvements in and relating to Pumps.
Inventor: DREWETT WILLIAM ALFRED
IPC: F01B25/00
Filed: 1912-07-16
Granted: 1913-04-03
Abstract: 16,608. Drewett, W. A. July 16. Steam-engine air-pumps.-Relates to steamengine air-pumps of the type in which a separate "dry" air-pump discharges into the cylinder of a " wet " air-pump, and consists in providing a cooling-chamber through which the air and vapour are drawn on their way to the dry pump, and in arranging that the dry pump shall discharge into the cylinder of the wet pump through an open passage without valves so that the resistance is reduced to a minimum. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, the suction chamber 10 and cylinder 1 of the dry air-pump are surrounded by cooling-jackets through which cold water or brine from an ice plant may be circulated. The delivery valves 15 of the dry pump are sealed by a shallow layer of water in the delivery chamber 13, which communicates by an open passage 23 with the upper end of the wet air - pump cylinder 2. The pump buckets are caused to reciprocate in opposite directions so that, during the upstroke of the dry air-pump bucket 3, vapour is discharged into the space above the downwardly moving wet air-pump bucket 4, and, during the upstroke of the bucket 4, the mixture of vapour and liquid is discharged through the delivery valves 19.

Filed: 1912-08-14
Granted: 1913-07-10
Abstract: 18,653. Johnson, J. Y., [Badische Anilin & Soda Fabrik]. Aug. 14. Isopentenes and their homologues; isoamyl chloride; methylpropylcarbinol; 2-chlor-2-ethylbutane.-Isopentenes and their homologues are produced by heating pentenes or their homologues, or compounds which give rise thereto, such as pentyl halides, alcohols, &c., with or without suitable catalysts, and at normal or reduced pressure. In one example, monochlorpentane is passed over heated lime and the pentene produced then passed over heated alumina. The resulting isopentene is purified by conversion into isoamylchloride by means of aqueous hydrochloric acid, and again removing hydrochloric acid by means of heated lime. In a second example, methylpropylcarbinol prepared by reduction of methylpropylketone, is passed over heated alumina. In a third example, n-hexylene is passed over heated alumina, giving a product which combines with hydrochloric acid to 2-chlor-2-ethyl-butane. Methylpropylketone is prepared by boiling ethylacetoacetic ester with caustic potash.

Title: Improved Appliances for Humidifying Warps for Weaving.
Inventor: TAYLOR JAMES
IPC: D03J1/00
Filed: 1913-07-23
Granted: 1914-08-24
Abstract: 16,873. Taylor, J., and Haworth, C. V. July 23, [Cognate Applications, 23,785/13, 24,767/13 and 801/14.] Coating webs.-Relates to apparatus for humidifying warps in looms, or other yarns, rovings, slivers, &c. in textile machinery. As applied to a loom, a tubular member F, Figs. 3 and 4, of perforated zinc &c. is employed, covered with a wick of absorbent flannel or felt G, the tube and felt being clamped in a carrier H borne by arms J hinged in brackets K on the back-rest D, and the felt resting on the warps C. In the tube is an absorbent lining or filling, or partial lining or filling, which may consist of loosely-spun unsized cotton cords L extending through a rubber pipe M into a fixed and closed water tank N. Water is fed by capillary action through the strands L to the wick or covering G, and thus to the warps. The wick may act directly on the warps or through the intermediary of a roller; it may also be applied to the warps on the beam or near the lease-rod, or it may act as the back lease-rod. The device may be put in and out of action by connexion of an arm S with the starting-handle, brake, &c. of the loom. The water may, in some cases, be supplied from a tank P, Fig. 5, closed except for a pipe Q, through which the water runs into a small tray R until the pipe-end is covered: any strands L that are not to be used may be laid on a tray R<1>. The tube F may, in a modification, be adapted to rotate against the warps ; it may also be adapted to act with an intermittent contact, or it may be spring-mounted, as, for example, when applied to a mule; it may be situated just in front of the drawing-rollers of mules or spinning-machinery. A weak solution of soft soap may be used in place of water; or, according to one of the Provisional Specifications, size &c. may be applied by the arrangements described. According to another Provisional Specification, a pipe supplied with water which is fed to the warps through a felt strip or flap may be used, the passage of water being regulated by plates clamping the strip or by a rotatable eccentric rod bearing on the strip; water may be supplied to the tube from a tank with a float valve &c.

Abstract: 20,980. Albion Motor Car Co., and Murray, T. B. Sept. 17. Spray carburettors; vaporizers, external.-Air and fuel are supplied in measured quantities, for instance by an ordinary choke tube and nozzle, or by controlling the fuel-valve by the air pressure, the nozzle D being shielded so that the fuel is not sprayed but drains into a sump F, into which air, drawn by a pump M from the measured air, is delivered from a nozzle H for spraying, the mixture passing to an exhaust-heated chamber P having one part R of large heat-storage capacity, and another part S of large heat-conducting capacity. In the modification shown in Fig. 2, the float chamber communicates through passages E<8>, E<11> with the air-chamber G, the fuel gravitating into the sump F and being sprayed by air from the nozzle H. Additional air may be added to the mixture after it leaves the heater.
