Title: Improvements in Liquid Fuel Sprayers for Furnaces.
IPC: F23D11/26
Filed: 1909-02-20
Granted: 1910-01-27
Abstract: 4247. White & Co., J. S., Carnt, E. C., and Forster, A. Feb. 20. Spray burners.-In a sprayer for liquid fuel, the fuel is regulated by varying the number of supply passages which communicate between the reservoir of oil under pressure and the n zzle. In the modification shown in Figs. 2 and 3, this regulation is effected by turning the conical k oss 7 on the surface of which the supply passages 1 are cut in spiral form, and thereby varying the number of the supply paseages in communication with the oil ports 14. The oil is discharged with a tangential velocity into the chamber 21, from whence it escapes through the spraying-nozzle 22. A pointer on the valve spindle indicates the number of open passages. Cold thick oils may be sprayed by being discharged between a shouldered portion 33, Fig. 13, of a spindle which passes through the nozzle, and the nozzle itself. This shouldered portion may be screwed back through the nozzle and may be thus put out of action when the oil is liquid enough to be sprayed by whirling in the chamber 21.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Electrical Current Limiting Devices.
IPC: H01H81/04
Filed: 1910-01-27
Granted: 1911-01-27
Abstract: 2097. British Continental Electricity Co., [Brodie, W. A.]. Jan. 27. Switches.-An electro-magnetic device which produces an arc of varying length and causes lamps to flicker if a given consumption of current is exceeded, also operates as an overload cut-out. A base a carries a solenoid h, a fixed carbon contact m and a frame k furnished with a movable carbon contact l; it is perforated at c for the introduction cf the leads and at e for a re-setting device. The solenoid h and the carbon contacts l, m are in series and carry the lamp current. When a predetermined current passes, the solenoid core lifts a member j attached to the frame k and separates the contacts l, m between which an are is formed. This reduces the current in the solenoid h and causes the arc to shorten; the resulting increase in the excitation of the solenoid causes a repetition of the cycle so long as the predetermined load is maintained. The lights consequently flicker. A flat spring n is arranged to pass beneath the member j should the predetermined current be greatly exceeded, in which case the arc is broken and the circuit positively ruptured. A cam member o carried by a rod f, which passes through the orifice e, is drawn down to re-set the device; it pushes back the spring n. A case p fits over the apparatus and is attached by screws to the base-plate. A modified form has an armature, situated above a solenoid, connected to the movable contact.

Title: An Improved Ship's Bell Clock.
Inventor: WITHERS JOSEPH SUTTON
IPC: G04C21/08
Filed: 1911-04-24
Granted: 1911-10-12
Abstract: 9932. Withers, J. S., [Pearson, C. H.]. April 24. Striking-mechanism.-Relates to a clock which audibly indicates the time by imitating the strokes of a ship's bell, and consists in providing means for transmitting the indications to one or more distant electric bells. The striking- mechanism, which is of a known type, gives a number of double blows on the bell at each hour and an odd number of blows at the half-hours, one blow of the hammer being intercepted during the half-hour indications by means of a rocker 66, when it is forced from a detent 101 and is raised by a pin 107 acting on a pivoted arm 105. The electric contact-device comprises an insulating-block 65 mounted on the hub of the rocker 66, the block carrying a contactscrew 85 connected to an insulated terminal 74, Fig. 5; a spring 86, coacting with the screw 85, is connected through the clock framework to a terminal 81, Fig. 5, and its end rests upon a cam 90 mounted to rotate with the gathering- pallet 35. At each revolution of this pallet, corresponding with a double blow on the bell, contact is twice made between the spring 86 and the screw 85 by the end of the spring falling on flat faces of the cam, and at each contact, one or more sounding-devices, such as a bell 51 arranged in proximity to a striker 52 connected to the armature 53 of a single-stroke electro-magnet, are actuated through a relay 59, Fig. 5. When a half-hour indication is being given and the rocker 66 is tilted to intercept the last blow of the hammer, the block 65 is swung round so that the closing of the circuit at the contacts 85, 86 is simultaneously prevented.
