Title: A New or Improved Acetylene Gas Generator.
Inventor: PENZER WALTER GEORGE
Filed: 1904-07-28
Granted: 1905-06-08
Abstract: 16,655. Penzer, W. G. July 28. Acetylene. - An acetylene generator, in which water is automatically supplied to carbide, comprises a tank a, preferably cylindrical, provided at one side with a vertical receptacle b having a funnel b<1>, and communicating with a water chamber d, partially surrounding the tank a, and also with the tank a through a siphon c. The gauge glass of the tank is situated between the extremities of the chamber d. A water tank f is arranged above the tank a and has projecting from its bottom a gas chamber g, extending down into the tank a and enclosing an open-topped carbide chamber h, which rests on the bottom of the tank. A water tube i, cup-shaped at the top and perforated below as at i<2>, is situated within the carbide chamber and encloses a pointed rod h<1>, having projections h<2>, which serves to distribute the water supplied through the funnel i<1>. Water drops into the funnel i<1> from a cock j, and the supply is regulated by a float l connected to the cock by a stem l<1>, the upper extremity of which may project into a guiding-sleeve y, and a weighted lever k. The float l rises and falls with the water in the tank according to the pressure of the gas. The gas passes from the carbide chamber, where it is purified, to the gas chamber, and thence through a pipe m and nozzle m<1>, regulated by a cock m<2>. A tube m<3>, having a cock m<5>, projects into the gas chamber and allows the escape of air on starting the apparatus. The tube m<3> passes through a chamber n which communicates with the gas chamber g by tubes o, q. If the pressure in the gas chamber rises unduly, the gas passes up the tube o into the chamber n and out through the nozzle m<4>, any water carried over returning to the gas chamber through the tube q. The cock j may be constructed so that the quantity of water passing to the carbide at each rise of the float can be regulated, and an indicator may be fitted to the regulating-handle p. Taps v, w are provided for running water into the vessel b and drawing it off from the tank a. On starting the apparatus, water is run into the tank a from the tap v until the level is high enough to raise the float l and actuate the cock j. The tap v is then turned off and the subsequent action is automatic. The parts of the apparatus are connected by bayonet joints s, t.

Dec. 28, 1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901.] Latches; cupboard-turns. - The mechanism for operating a lavatory or telephone-box door bolt is so arranged in connexion with a locking-device for the bolt in the staple that the bolt when shot from inside cannot be operated from outside, but when shot from outside leaves the door free to be opened, the ordinary snib bolt for the inside of the door being thereby dispensed with. The bolt 8 is mounted on a plate 2, secured to the casing by means of pins 10 thereon, which engage curved slots 3 in the plate, the bolt normally being kept by springs 18, 19 in the mid position. The staple is not arranged for automatic locking, so that the bolt must be withdrawn by the handle and reshot by the spring to look the door. The inside and outside handles 15, 17 operate to withdraw the bolt into the dotted and chain-dotted positions respectively, so that when the door is shut from the inside, the bolt rises and engages an arm of the weighted lever 20 mounted in the staple, which prevents the bolt from being raised and hence the door from being opened from the outside. If, however, the door is shut from the outside, the bolt must, to lock the door, fall from the chaindotted position ; in so doing, it pushes aside the lever 20, as shown dotted, so that the bolt is quite free to be raised to open the door.
