Abstract: 14,254. Dymond, G. C., [Shepler, C. H., and Shearer, J. W.]. June 19. [Cognate Application, 28,212/13.] Cleaning, fluid-pressure processes for. - A boiler-tube cleaner, of the type having a rotary nozzle tube extending through a boiler tube directing a jet of steam backwards against the ends of the boiler tubes, and automatically traversed as it rotates, to vary the range of the jet, has the nozzle tube journaled in, and receiving steam from, a tubular member removably clamped to the smoke-box. Steam is supplied to this tubular member by a steam pipe external to the smoke-box. An internally threaded tubular member 1, supplied with steam through a pipe connexion 15, is clamped to the smoke-box by bolts passing through a flange 26. Within the member 1 is a considerably smaller nozzle tube 3 passing through stuffing-boxes 9 and rotatable by means of a handle 17. The handle end of the tube 3 is closed. A nut 2 secured to the tube 3 and working in the threaded tube 1 secures longitudinal travel of the nozzle during rotation. Steam enters the tube 3 through a port 7, and grooves 6 may be provided in the nut 2 to equalize the pressures on opposite sides. An additional port 8 may be provided, and blanking of the ports at the ends of the travel is prevented by stops. The tube 3 may be in two or more parts with overlapping ends 22 secured by a screwed sleeve 23. The nozzle-tube is centrally supported within the boiler tube by collars 12 with limited movement between stops 14, and its forward end carries one or more nozzles 19 which may have internal grooves to give a whirling motion to the steam. In a modification, the member 1 is internally plain, the nut 2 is omitted, the bush 10 is internally threaded, and a threaded rod working in the bush takes the place of that portion of the tube 3 which lies between the port 7 and handle 17. In a further modification, Fig. 7, in which the handle 17 does not travel with the member 3, a smaller tubular member 38 to which the handle is attached is mounted within the tube 3 and is held against longitudinal movement by a collar 40. The tube 38 has a slot engaged by a key 39 on the nut 36, which is secured to the member 3 and works along the internally threaded member 1. The tube 3 thus rotates with the tube 38 but travels longitudinally independently of it.
