Title: Improvements in Systems of and Apparatus for Washing and Refilling Locomotive Boilers.
Inventor: WHITE ELA BERT
IPC: B61C8/00
Filed: 1909-09-15
Granted: 1910-09-15
Abstract: 21,127. White, E. B. Aug. 28. Feed-water, heating. -In apparatus of the kind described in Specification 14,840/08, [Class 123, Steam generators], for washing-out and refilling locomotive boilers, the chamber for receiving the blow-down products, the feed-heating chamber, and the chamber for the washing-out water are formed by partitioning a single tank. T h e blow-down products conveyed from the boiler by a pipe 1 enter the receiving-chamber 3 over a plate 5, which spreads the products and separate the steam from the water. The steam is led through a pipe 6 to a perforated pipe 9 in the feed-heating chamber 10. The water passes from the chamber 3 through a number of tubes 16 traversing the feed - heating chamber to the chamber 15, from which the water is withdrawn for washing-out the boilers. The cold water supplied through a pipe 8 to the chamber 10 is controlled by a valve 11 which is operated by a flap 12 in the pipe 1. The exhaust steam from the feed-pump 23 is led by a pipe 37 into the steam-pipe 6.

Title: Improvements in Appliances or Magazines for Containing and Delivering Ring Travellers for Spinning Frames.
IPC: D01H17/02
Filed: 1909-09-18
Granted: 1910-08-11
Abstract: 21,331. British Northrop Loom Co., and Hollins, D. M. Sept. 18. Ring travellers, holding and storing.-An appliance for attachment to a spinning-frame, and having means for holding a supply of ring travellers and for discharging them a few at a time, comprises a shallow pan 1, into which the travellers are delivered, having a lug 1<1> by which it is secured to the frame, and a projection 1<2> to which is secured a bracket 2 having a hood portion 2<1> and a depending bracket 2<2>, the holder or hopper 3 being journaled in the brackets 2, 2<2>. The travellers are introduced into the hopper by a longitudinal opening closed by a sliding, hinged, or removable door 3<1>, and a few travellers are discharged through an adjacent slot 3<2> when the hopper is turned by a milled head 5 to bring the slot 3<2> to the bottom. A counterbalance weight 3<3> within the hopper maintains it normally with the slot 3<2> at the top. The edges of the slot 3<2> are bevelled to allow the travellers to pass easily therethrough. The inside of the hopper may be divided into sections by ribs or cross-bars 6 to divide the travellers into sections and minimize bunching; and, instead of one discharge slot, there may be two or more, each capable of admitting one, two, or more travellers therethrough.

Abstract: 21,634. Redington, T. F. Sept. 22. Link-motions and linkage gears.- In a link-motion gear for locomotive and other engines, the link suspension arms m are oscillated by a lead eccentric l, and the link f is oscillated about its pivot o on the arms m by an eccentric c with a throw greater than the valve travel. In the arrangement shown, which is adapted for valves working between the cylinders, the throw of the eccentric l is less than the throw of the eccentric c, the pivot o is in the middle of the arm m, and the eccentric rod e is connected to the end of the link nearest to the suspensionarm pivot n. In a modification suitable for valves arranged above or below the cylinders, the eccentrics are of equal throw, and the eccentric c, which in this case follows the crank, is connected to the lower end of the link.

Abstract: 4235. I'Anson, W. Feb. 21. Table games.-In a coin-freed game apparatus in which a ball is projected from the foot of a vertical board up a channel 1, the ball, if successfully projected, strikes a stop 2 and falls on to a shelf 3. The player, by operating either the swinging lever 4 or an horizontally movable rod, endeavours to knock the ball off the shelf into a cup 5. If the ball enters the cup, it passes into a check till and releases a check. The stop 2 may be replaced by a flat piece of metal which can be moved vertically by the player. The shelf 3 may also be mounted on a lever so that it can be rocked to throw the ball into the cup.

Title: Improvements in Paper Feeding Mechanism.
Inventor: WARREN GILBERT LOCKYER
IPC: B65H3/08
Filed: 1910-07-29
Granted: 1911-06-21
Abstract: 18,067. Warren, G. L. July 29. Feeding sheets.-Relates to sheet-feeding apparatus of the kind wherein a suction-separator, rolling on an inclined rack, lifts the top sheet from a pile on a rising table. The pile of sheets is supported on a table 1 carried by brackets sliding in vertical guides Z in the framing. The table is elevated as the sheets are fed off by chains, fast at one end to the frame near the top of the guides Z, passing around rollers 2 on the brackets, over pulleys at the top of the frame and wound up slowly by sprocket-wheels on the shaft U'. A ratchet-wheel U on the shaft U<1> is rotated slowly to raise the table by a pawl S on a rod R reciprocated by a cam V on the shaft W. If the level of the pile has not decreased sufficiently, the pawl S is held out of action by a counterbalanced lever T held raised by a rod X', which is normally supported by a catch X. Should the pile decrease, a lever P, oscillated by the rod Q, falls and, by means of a rod X<2>, releases the rod X<1> and allows the pawl S to act. The rod X<1> is re-set by a finger S<1> fast on the rod R. The separator disks B are carried by a hollow shaft A fitted at each end with pinions E, whose pitch circles are of the same diameter as the suction disks, which are reciprocated on inclined racks F, by links J, levers L, and eccentrics W<2>. The centre disk is preferably secured to the hollow shaft, and in direct communication with the interior thereof, and the outer disks are arranged to slide on the shaft, and are connected with the interror thereof by telescopic or flexible tubes. The shaft A is connected by way of a flexible pipe and a cock K with a reservoir p<1> exhausted by a pump p having a variable throw determined by the position of the crank-disk w<3> on the main crank-disk w. As the separator reciprocates, it engages, near the limits of its travel, the upturned ends of a squared bar A' sliding in studs A<2> on the frame. The bar A' is connected to a lever which, in rocking, operates the cock K, opening the nozzles to the suction as they approach the pile, and cutting off the suction as the sheet is presented between rollers M, N to the tapes o<1>. To assist in detaching any adhering sheets, blasts of air from two series of nozzles on the tubes Y, Y' are projected on to the edge of the sheet as it is raised from the pile. The blast nozzles on the nearer tube Y consist of narrow vertical slits, while those Y<3> on the tube Y<1> are formed with horizontal slits beneath a down-turned lip. The tube Y can be turned to determine the direction of blast. In order to obviate running the tapes o' at too high a speed, fingers may be arranged to lift the leading edge of one sheet over the rear edge of the preceding one, so that the sheets are fed overlapped to the front stops. The smoothers adjacent to the front stops can form part of an electric circuit, which, in case of the failure of the feed, throws out the driving-gear and applies a brake to the press.

Title: Apparatus for the Manufacture of Metallic Hoops or Circles.
IPC: B21H1/00
Filed: 1910-09-26
Granted: 1911-03-16
Abstract: 22,329. BrÚhier et Cie. Oct. 2, 1909, [Convention date]. Rolling annular bodies.-A hoop to be rolled is stretched between two wheels, one of which is driven and one of which is freely mounted, and is thus pulled through a train of idle rolls. The freely - mounted wheel c is traversed by a screw c<4> operated by a hand-wheel c<8>. When the hoop is rolled down to the desired size, the wheel carriage c<2> meets a stop x and further rolling causes the hoop to slip on the wheel c and thus stops the operation. One roll of each pair of idle rolls e<1>, d<1> is mounted eccentrically for adjustment of the pass. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) states also that the movements of the screw c' and the adjustment of the pass may be performed automatically. This subjectmatter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.
