Title: Improvements in the Automatic Regulation and Control of Combustion in Furnaces.
Inventor: BROWN FRANCIS HARVEY
Filed: 1909-03-22
Granted: 1910-02-24
Abstract: 6772. Brown, F. H. March 22. Regulating combustion.-In a steam - generator furnace the supplies of air for primary and secondary combustion are controlled according to the pressure of steam in the boiler, and the furnace damner is regulated by changes of pressure in the combustion chamber. The feed of fuel and the supply of superheated steam for combustion may also be automatically regulated. In the arrangements shown in Fig. 1 for a water-tube boiler, air is supplied by a fan 34 to the ash-pit 36, and a portion is delivered into the furnace chamber through the conduit 38. The supply of steam to the fan engine is controlled according to the pressure of steam in the boiler by a regulator 41, preferably of the kind described in Specification 5246/09; or alternatively the fan may be driven at constant speed, and the supply of air may be regulated by a damper 49. The flue damper 61, and the valve 65 which controls the supply of superheated steam to the furnace, are operated according to the pressure in the combustion chamber by a regulator 51. preferably of the type described in Specification 7076/08. The speed of the mechanical stoker is controlled by the regulator 41. In a modified arrangement, the whole of the air supply is heated by the waste gases and the secondary air is additionally heated by a pipe passing through the combustion chamber. In this case, the fan is arranged at the rear of the boiler, and a valve is provided so that the waste gases can be passed either straight to the economizer or first through the air-heater. An exhaust-draught fan may be fitted either instead of or in addition to the forced-draught fan. The system is also shown in connexion with an internally fired boiler. Specification 25,902/08 is referred to.

Abstract: 21,909. Jerram, A. E., and British United Shoe Machinery Co. Sept. 25. Boot-sole stitching machines; governing needle thread.-In a boot-sole sewing machine, means, not dependent on the action of the thread, are provided for definitely determining the position of the auxiliary take-up when thread for a stitch is drawn from supply by the main takeup ; and the cam &c. by which the main take-up is actuated is provided with a " dwell " in it, so that the action of the main take-up is interrupted while the lock is being put upon the thread. When the take-up roll A on the arm A<1> rises to tighten the stitch, an arm B<3> on the arm B<1> of the auxiliary take-up B is brought against the action of the spring B<4> into contact with a temporarily fixed stop E by the tension of the thread and by the action of a lug B<6> 'on the main take-up actuating-means upon an extension B<5> of the lever B<3>. A definite quantity of thread is drawn off by the further motion of the take-up A, which then " dwells " while the thread-lock C<1> actuated by adjustable levers C<2>, C<3>, preferably connected with the cam-actuated lever that controls the feed-point, comes into action. Connected with the lever C<2> is an arm C<5> having a pin C<6>, which, on the actuation of the thread-lock mechanism, rides down the face D<1> of a spring- held detent D, which normally locks the stop E. The auxiliary take - up can now yield a little under the action of the spring E<2> when the main take-up rises further to tighten the stitch. The final tightening may be made positive by an adjustable screw stop E<1>. The adjusting-screw E<3> of the spring E<2> is locked by a screw E<4>. Specification 20,653/01 is referred to.

Abstract: 11,181. Boult, A. J., [Automatic Press Feeder Co.]. Aug. 20,1909. Stopping and starting arrangements. - A platen press is fitted with means for automatically stopping the machine in case of improper feeding or lack of feeding of the sheet. The mechanism may be built as an attachment particularly adapted for a Gordon press. The device for stopping the machine in case of imperfect feed acts in conjunction with the sheet feeding devices described in Specification 19,207/08, [Class 106, Registering &c.], and comprises an oscillating bell-crank 70, Figs. 2 and 4, in spring connexion with an oscillating shaft 67 driven by segmental gearing. A pivoted hook 74 on the bell-crank 70 is adapted, when the sheet is correctly fed, to engage on its downward stroke only with a spring- controlled plate 79, as shown in Fig. 4, and to move said plate so that it prevents an oscillating pawl 88 from engaging a notched plate 87 to which a link 92 is connected. When no sheet is fed, the hook 74, during its upward movement, engages a notch 80 in the plate 79, which is then prevented from moving into position to guard the notch 90 in the disk 87. This disk is now moved by the pawl 88 and the link 92 is thus actuated and operates a trigger 93, which normally holds a lever 94 on a shaft 96 mounted in bearings pivoted to a shaft 62. When a cam 103, Fig. 2, permits a cam roller 99, to move, an arm 97 on the shaft 96 is brought into the path of a pin 101, which acts on a roller 98 on said arm and rotates the shaft 96, thereby moving an arm 104, Fig. 10, which actuates a switch rod to cut off the current of the driving mechanism, and also actuates through a brake lever 111, link 112, and depending arm 113, a shoe 114, which is pressed towards the wheel 115 by a spring-controlled crank arm 116, normally rendered inoperative by the rod 104.
