Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Generating Gas.
Inventor: GUILBAUD FERNAND EMILE
Filed: 1904-05-25
Granted: 1904-08-18
Abstract: 11,948. Guilbaud, F. E. May 25. Gas-producers.- Relates to apparatusforgenerating gas for explosion engines, means being provided for continuously charging fuel into the lower part of the apparatus. The generator comprises a cylindrical iron jacket 7, Fig. 1, lined with firebrick, and enclosing a shaft 9, from the lower part of which a suitably - curved conduit 10 leads to a fuel receptacle 11, provided with a gas-tight cover. An archimedean screw, arranged at the entrance to the conduit 10, and rotated continuously by suitable gearing. feeds fuel from the receptacle 11 to the shaft 9. Air is supplied to the chamber 17, below the firebars 18, by means of a conduit 21, which passes through the brickwork wall of the shaft, so that the air may become heated. The air is driven into the chamber 17 by a fan, and is charged with water from a receptacle 22, which is connected by means of a capillary tube with a pipe 24 in connection with the conduit 21. A cap 25 upon a branch of the pipe 24 is connected by means of a cord 26 with the gas holder so that air may escape when the gas holder is full. A conduit 20 at the lower part of the shaft allows ashes to escape into a water-sealed trough 19. The generator is started by charging wood shavings and the like and coal through the hopper 27, and, when the stack of fuel is sufficiently ignited, the continuous feed is started. The gas is led to a scouring-apparatus by means of a tube 28. To prevent obstructions in the curved part of the conduit 10, and to distribute the fuel more evenly, the lower part of the generator is constructed, as shown in Fig. 5, with two straight inclined conduits 35, arranged almost tangentially to the inner circumference of the shaft 36, to give the fuel a rotary movement. The cinders fall through a conduit 39. The shaft 36 may be provided with two additional conduits for cleaning purposes.

Title: Improvements in Hydraulic Presses.
Inventor: JENSEN CHRISTIAN ALBERT
Filed: 1904-10-06
Granted: 1905-07-06
Abstract: 21,495. Jensen, C. A., [Elektrograv³re Ges.]. Oct. 6. Hydraulic presses.- Relates to a press in which the press cylinder, tank, and seat for the filling - valve are arranged in the presshead. To a base 1 is fixed a crosshead 2 cast with, or rigidly connected to, a ram 4 bored so that another ram 12 may pass down it. The fixed ram 4 fits into a cylinder 5 integral with the press - head 17 and tank 6, while a valvecontrolled passage connects the cylinder 5 with the tank. The valve-rod 9 is guided by a piece 11 fixed to the ram 12, and carries on the upper end a collar 10. The ram 12 cannot come in contact with this collar, and in this instance is fitted with a screw and wheel, though it may be moved otherwise. The press-head is normally suspended by the ram 12 from the crosshead 19, and, when the ram descends, the press-head follows its motion until the die 20 comes in contact with the article to be pressed. During this time, the valve 8 is suspended from the ram and water flows into the cylinder. When, however, the die bears on the work, the press-head can no longer move down, and, as the ram 12 descends, the valve 8 falls on to its seat. The water in the cylinder is then used to transmit pressure from the ram 12 to the ram 4.

Title: A Thermostatic Device for Indicating when Motor-car or other Lamps are Extinguished
Inventor: LIST WILLIAM
Filed: 1904-12-30
Granted: 1905-02-02
Abstract: 28,920. List, W., and Ritchie, F. Dec. 30. Signals, automatic-alarm.-Consists of a thermostatic device in which the unequal expansion of two metals causes an electric circuit to be made or broken when a lamp goes out, and is especially applicable to motor car lamps. The signal may be a lamp, bell, or indicator, and in the case of the motor car the ignition circuit may be broken so that the car comes to a stop, on the extinction of the lamp. Fig. 4 is a front view of the apparatus as attached to a lamp. The frame alpha has at one end a contact-chamber b shown in section in Fig. 1, and at the other two nuts c. Attached to it at d is a compound bar e, composed of two metals, the lower of which expands more than the upper, so that, when the bar is heated from below by the flame, the contact f is raised. When the lamp is extinguished, the contact f falls and makes contact with the contact-screw g. This screw g can be adjusted so as to regulate the period of time in which the contacts open or close.

Title: Improvements in Combined Traction Wheels and Water Tanks.
Inventor: SPEARMAN GEORGE
Filed: 1905-06-02
Granted: 1905-11-09
Abstract: 11,607. Spearman, G. June 2. Traction engines. -Consists of a combined hollow traclion wheel and water or other liquid tank. Figs. 1 and 2 show perspective and sectional views, respectively. The e wheel is in the form of a hollow cylinder with a rim 20 and side - plates d, e secured to a hub i which rotates on the fixed axle h. Water is introduced through apertures which are normally closed by plugs f, and is removed by pumps operated by the rotation of the wheel, and is discharged into the tank 5, means being provided for automatically regulating the supply from the pumps so as to keep the level of the liquid in the tank constant. The : discharge pumps comprise pump chambers p, having inlet passages closed by flap valves, and connected by radial tubes s to tubes t provided with discharge orifices U. The pump chambers are filled when in their lowest position, the air being allowed to escape through non-return ball valves, and are emptied when in their highest position, the valve v, which is normally kept closed by a, spring, being then opened by the rod w, to which it is fixed, striking a cam on the upper part of the receptacle y for the discharged water. The receptacle is mounted at one end of a pivoted lever z having attached to its other end a float 4 which floatsin a vertical partition in the tank 5, so that the receptacle is lowered as the water level in the tank rises, until the spindle w misses the cam-surface and no water is discharged. To stop the pumping action altogether, an arm 7 is arranged to engage the edge of the tank so as to keep the float from falling. To allow for the withdrawal of water from the wheel when not in motion, and to permit the entrance of air to replace the water pumped out, a number of tubes 9 are provided, having spring-seated valves 13 at their inner ends, which are opened to admit air when in their highest position by rods 14, to which they are fixed, striking a cam 19 mounted on the fixed axle. A suitable coupling 18 is fixed to the outer end of one of the tubes when in its lowest position for the purpose of opening the valve and withdrawing water. The wheel is driven by means of the annular toothed wheel k.

The tool-holder, which may be adjusted by nuts v, has two diametricallyopposed radial knives, one for roughing and the other for finishing. To necessite the use of only a small motor, the knives are caused to come into operation alternately by mounting one of the. roller axles eccentrically in boxes e; Fig. 9. fixed in different positions by screws, so as to incline the motor shaft. The machine is moved along the surface to be planed by hand-operated gearing connected with one of the roller shafts. The roller shafts may be mounted in levers p pivoted to the frame and adjusted, by a screw and nut, to raise or lower the tool, both in the machine shown in Fig. 2, and in that. shown in Fig. 5, which is used on thinner planks or beams. In this case, the frame moves on rails s, and for planing a series of adjacent boards or boards wider than the cutterbead the rails s also move on rails t.
