Granted: 1904-08-25
Abstract: 22,032. Robson, J. M. Oct. 13. Stuffing-boxes. - An engine or pump stuffing-box has an extension containing additional packing. The packing consists of segmental rings which in the main part of the stuffing-box are pressed on to the rod by bevelled rings, and in the extension by split rings. The packing-rings E, Fig. 1, in the main chamber of the stuffing-box have bevelled faces, which engage with the bevelled faces of a middle ring G and the bevelled faces on the two halves of a casing F, F<1>. The segments of the rings E preferably have overlapping ends. The halves F, F<1> of the casing overlap. Each half may consist of segments secured together by studs. The packing is compressed by helical springs D<3> contained in recesses in two rings D, D', the inner edges of which preferably overlap. The relative motion of the rings is limited by studs passing through holes in one ring and screwing into the other. In a modified arrangement, only two packing-rings E are employed, and the ring G is dispensed with. The extension of the stuffing-box is bolted to the main stuffing-box, and may have an inwardlyprojecting flange C', or may be closed by a cover secured to it by bolts. The segmental packing- rings J are compressed by split rings M, M<1> and are held between washers K in a casing consisting of two parts H, H<1>. The ends of each of the rings M, M' are drawn together by a spiral spring contained in suitable recesses in the ring. In a stuffing-box for a rotating spindle, shown in Fig. 7, screws N' pass through the cover C<1> and one part H<1> of the casing for the packing and through slots in the washers K and compressing rings M, M<1>, and are screwed into the other part H of the casing.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Explosion Motors.
Inventor: JUNG ALFRED JAMES
Filed: 1905-02-03
Granted: 1905-12-07
Abstract: 2171. Jung, A. J. Feb. 3. Gas and explosive-vapour engines.-The products of combustion of two-stroke-cycle engines are withdrawn from the cylinder by an independent pump, the cylinder of which is reciprocated by eccentrics on the crank shaft. In the arrangement shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the combustion gases leave the working cylinder A through piston-controlled ports E, E<1> which communicate with others E<2> in a stationary displacer B. Working over the disp'acer is a reciprocating cylinder D, which draws in exhaust products during its out-stroke and expels them on the in-stroke through a port L, controlled by a valve K having closing-weights K<1> which return the valve to its seat after the contents of the cylinder D have been expelled. Cylinders, cooling; products, cooling.-The power-cylinder and displacer are cooled by water circulated by baffles (not shown) through the jackets H, H<1>, the exhaust products being cooled by passing through ports E', E<2> located in the water jackets. Reversing.-The engine may be reversed by retarding the ignition. Governing is effected by admitting air to the reciprocating cylinder D, through a valvecontrolled port such as M, and destroying the vacuum before the exhaust ports E are uncovered by the piston F. This prevents the complete exhaustion of the combustion products which remain in the cylinder and dilute the combustible charges.

Patent GB-190507999-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Regulating the Delivery of Centrifugal Pumps when used as Boiler Feed Pumps.
Inventor: RATEAU AUGUST CAMILLE EDMOND
Filed: 1905-04-14
Granted: 1905-12-07
Abstract: 7999. Rateau, A. C. E. May 5,1904, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Governing &c. speed and power; starting and stopping; eng i n e stop - gear.- Consists in apparatus for governing the steam - engines actuating centrifugal pumps used for feeding boilers and in means for preventing the engine driving the pumps from racing when the latter suck owing to the entry of air. The valve 1 regulating the flow of steam to the engine is connected to the pivoted lever 3, one end of which is operated upon by the pistons 6, 7, the former of which is open to direct steam pressure and the latter to the pressure of water, delivered by the pump. The area of the piston 6 is slightly larger than that of the piston 7, so that the pressure of the water delivered is greater than the steam pressure. The lever 3 is also acted upon by means of the spring 13, the tension of. which may be adjusted by means of a nut 14. By this means the ratio of the pressure of the water to. that of the steam is maintained at any value. The pivot 4 of the lever 3 is carried by a piston 15, which is open to the pressure of the pump delivery, and the pivot is thus held normally in the working position, but, if the pump'sucks, the preasure falls and the pivot is forced down by the spring 17, so closing the valve 1 and stopping the engine whatever be the pressure on the pistons 6, 7. In order. again to set the engine working, the pivot is raised by means of the handle 18.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Handling Coal, Ores and like Material
Inventor: CAMPBELL JEREMIAH
Filed: 1905-06-02
Granted: 1906-01-25
Abstract: 11,588. Lake, H. H., [Campbell, J.]. June 2. Grabs.- Relates to hoppers for shoots for coal and like material combined with crushing-apparatus, in which a grab passes vertically through the hinged bottom of the hopper or shoot before and after discharging its load, and consists in the provision of connexions which cause the operation of both the hopper bottom and the crushing-apparatus through the movement of the bucket. The hopper 1 has its bottom composed of two plates or sections 4, 5, the latter having crusher jaws 34 to break up any coal which is too large to pass between the grids or bars 37. The hopper is open when the bucket is below it. On raising the bucket by the chain 10, the plate 15 on a spring buffer link 11 engages a crosshead 19 and raises the same along guide-ways. Links 29, pivotally connected to the crosshead and the plate 4, draw up the latter from a verticallydownward position into the position shown in Fig. 1, while the rack 28, also connected to the crosshead, causes the plate 5 to move to the right and close the hopper aperture through the pinion 32 and segmental rack 33. The bucket is then discharged in any suitable manner, and the coal falls through the shoot 3, the larger lumps being retained by the bars 37. Links 25, having elongated openings encircling the rod 11 at one end, are guided at the other extremity in cam-grooves, so that, in the highest position of the bucket, they are drawn apart under the lug 16 so as to engage therewith and the descending bucket is thus made to bring down the crosshead with it. The combined weight causes not only the opening of the hopper bottom, but also the crushing of large coal by the blades 34. The cam-grooves then cause movement of the links 25 to release the lug 16 and allow the bucket to pass below. In an alternative form, the plate 5 is moved through chain gearing.

Title: Improvements in Furnace Doors and Air Supply therefor.
Inventor: SCHILHAN JANOS
Filed: 1905-06-03
Granted: 1905-08-31
Abstract: 11,701. Schilhan, J. June 3. Smoke-consuming; doors; air supply, regulating; blast apparatus.-Figs. 1 and 3 show respectively in perspective and section a furnace door and air and steam-supply fittings for the same. The door is made with a number of openings d, e leading from the common mouth C, fitted with a hinged flap i. Steam is admitted by a pipe r, leading from the valve h mounted on the hinge pin of the door, to a chamber d with outlet perforations as shown. Mounted above the fire-door is a short vertical rod, the ends of which are fitted with projecting arms l, m to engage and operate the lever k and the lever n of the steam-supply valve h. As the fire-door is closed, therefore, the flap i is opened by the arm l forcing out the lever k, and the steam valve is opened by the engagement of the valve lever n with the inclined underface of the lever m. The air and steam are cut off simultaneously by turning the lever m in the direction of the arrow. Fig. 8 shows an arrangement for performing automatically the closing of the supplies. A bevel-wheel 1 on the axle B of the furnace door acts as the door is opened to raise a heavy quadrant 3. When the furnace door is closed, the quadrant begins to descend slowly under the control of a fly 12 driven from the quadrant through a lantern pinion 8. Finally, a projection 5 strikes the lever l<1> and turns the shaft to cut off the air and steam.

Granted: 1906-05-03
Abstract: 13,306. Dodgson, E. O., Hargreaves, T., and Dibbs, J. June 28. Feeding-apparatus for webs.-Relates to disengaging-gear for stopping milling &c. machines, in which an endless piece of cloth is being operated on, when the cloth is arrested or obstructed. The cloth passes over the usual guide-roller 6 to the spout &c., and normally rotates the roller at such a speed that rollers 13 are driven outwards by centrifugal force sufficiently to raise a lever 16 and hook 18 from the path of an eccentric-reciprocited hook 37. The rollers 13 are carried in radial slots in a wheel on the shaft 10 geared to the shaft 7 or on the shaft 7 of the roller 6. When the'cloth is obstructed and the speed of rotation of the roller 6 diminishes, the hook 18 is engaged by the hook 37, a rod 20 is moved and by means of a chain 22 levers 25 on a shaft 26 are rocked, a bell-crank 27 is also rocked and' the driving-clutch on the main shaft 'of the machine is released. Other forms of centrifugal governor for supporting the lever 16 may be used. By reversing a stop 39 on a pin 38, the lever 16 is engaged and turned about its pivot to keep the disengaging gear out of action, when it is required to run the machine while the guide roller 6 is stationary.
