Abstract: 28,581. Hough, H. J. Feb. 12, [date applied for under Patents Act, A.D. 1901]. Grates; air supply.-The fire-pot and ashpit of a stove or furnace are constructed so as to admit air for the combustion of the fuel near the sides, and the grate is arranged so as to facilitate the removal of clinkers and ashes. In the vertical section, Fig. 1, the asbpit is shown provided with an annular groove in an enlargement at the top, into which is seated a ring or air chamber 2 with a partly-inturned top. The conical fire-pot 3 is supported on the ring 2 by means of a beading, and is provided with a number of slots 5, which are wholly enclosed by the ring 2. Air is admitted by an inlet 6 provided with a damper 7. The grate consists of a rotatable conical ring 11, which is carried on balls contained in a trough 9, and a fixed grate 15. Brackets 8 attached to the asbpit carry the trough 9 and also, by an extension 14, Fig. 2, the fixed grate 15. A hole in the central portion of the grate 15 is covered by a drawgrate 16 arranged to slide in pieces 17, which may be attached to, or form part of, the grate 15. The ring 11 is rotated by means of a handle connected to the upturned end of a lug 12. The air entering the slots 5 improves the combustion of the fuel near the sides of the fire-pot, leaving the central portion to burn more slowly. Small clinkers and ashes pass to the ashpit between the ring 11 and fire-pot, the larger clinkers being removed by sliding the draw-grate 16.

Granted: 1907-06-13
Abstract: 25,749. Kelly, T. D. Nov. 14. Gas and like engines.-A twostroke-cycle is divided into three equal periods, expansion, exhaust and scavenging, and compression. It is carried out in any engine having three cylinders 7, 8, 9, or multiples of three, driving a three-throw crank and having pumps 36, 37, 38 formed by the enlarged front ends of the cylinders, each pump supplying the cylinder next in arrear. Each cylinder has two exhaust ports 42, 45 ; the ports 42 lead to a silencer, but the terminal ports 45 open into the atmosphere and relieve the incoming charge of any resistance to scavenging. The ports 42 are covered as the corresponding pump finishes its compression stroke. The pumps draw in a combustible charge through valves 39, and moistened air through valves 20 with a spraying-nozzle 27 in their seating. The valves 20 are near the cylinder admission valves 14; the pipes 33 consequently contain moistened air which enters the cylinder before the combustible charge.

In order to cushion the blow and to cause the rotation by retarding the rod, the rod 18 has a slightly rounded or concaved part 17, which engages antifriction balls 24 carried in cup bearings 23 in the free ends of a single leaf-spring or a number of leaves 22. The inner ends of the springs may be bent, and are fixed to the piston by a sectional bevelled ring 26, which is tightened by an interiorly bevelled sleeve 25 screwed on the piston extension. In a modification, the sleeve 25 is elongated, and the springs are riveted to it at one end and rest free at the other end against the sleeve, and the bearing-rollers are journaled in clips which are carried on the springs. The piston is guided by blocks at each side, which slide in slots in the extension 7 and are connected by a pair of journals or return connecting-rods and crank-pins to the flywheel shaft 3. This shaft drives the cam shaft 29 by worm gearing, the cams operating the inlet and outlet valves 33, 32 for the explosive mixture.
