Granted: 1906-08-23
Abstract: 8644. Haddan, H. J., [Mathes, J. A.]. April 10. Vapour burners.-A kerosene vapour burner, applicable for cooking, heating, and lighting, comprises a slotted main burner head 6 resting upon or secured to the mixing-chamber and provided with a vertical side extension 11 for heating an inclined vaporizing-tube 13. The wall of the cylindrical mixing-chamber 3 is cut away to allow for the side burner 11, which is preferably curved and which may be integral with the main burner 6 or form a separate piece. Oil is fed, preferably by gravitation, to the lower end of the vaporizer through a tube 15, which is contracted at 16 to lessen conduction of heat from the vaporizer. The vapour issues from an orifice 14 controlled by a needle valve, the stem 19 of which is prolonged so as to prevent the stuffing-box from being heated, and enters a mixing-tube 8 extending from a vertical air-induction tube 9 into the mixing-chamber. The burner head 6 is preferably depressed below the level of a flange 5<1> formed around its circumference, so that when the flame is ignited or extinguished the surrounding air is prevented from mixing with the issuing vapour, and the flange 5<1> is extended so as to form a hood 27 over the vaporizer. The usual twisted wire or wire-gauze may be placed in the vaporizing-tube to assist vaporization and to prevent deposition of carbon and pulsation of the vapour, and a cleaning-plug 30 is also provided. A rib 25 formed on the bottom of the mixing-chamber so as to reach above the bottom of the mixing-tube 8 prevents the mixing-chamber from being flooded by oil which escapes through the mixing-tube. In a modification used for heating an incandescent mantle, a portion of the top of the mixing-chamber is closed, and a vertical flange 35, Fig. 4, surrounds the main burner and supports a mantle stem 33, the side extension of the burner being arranged as before.

Granted: 1907-05-16
Abstract: 22,950. Dunsmore, M. C. Oct. 17. Gas and like engines; valves; ignition, back, preventing.-The inlet and exhaust valves A, Bare concentric and both close upon the removable seating C, The exhaust valve, on opening, seats itself upon the inlet valve before the cylindrical part K has moved sufficiently to open communication to the exhaust port J, thus preventing loss of charge and back ignition. Further movement of the exhaust valve raises the inlet valve. The shoulder K on the exhaust valve deflects the exhaust gases and so protects the angular faces of the valves. The exhaust valve may come gently to its seat after the exhaust passage is closed by the port K, and the inlet valve alone may then be actuated by the usual lever depressing the cotter D, before it has actually come back to its seat. The valves may be closed by volute springs, and the exhaust valve stem may be of steel and secured to the casting B, Fig. II. The body of the exhaust valve is fitted with a spring ring G. The exhaust valve has a slightly greater lift than the inlet valve. Cylinders; vaporizing heavy oils ; starting.-For using heavy oils, the inlet passage H, formed in one with the main cylinder core, may be adjacent to the exhaust pocket, as shown in Fig. II. As the charge is deflected upwards, any particles of oil present impinge against the heated wall M and are vaporized, while the temperature of the charge is but slightly affected. The engine may be started on petrol, and run on petroleum or paraffin with an ordinary carburettor.

Mortising.-In a mortising-machine of the kind described in Specification No. 8324, A.D. 1905, the pinion o for adjusting the range of motion of the tool, is carried on a shaft o' by a swinging bracket k pivoted at an angle in brackets l so that it normally tends to fall outwards against one side of the head c in which it is mounted. The bracket has an adjustable block m fitting in toothed notches on the bracket and held by a winged nut n. This block normally serves as a stop for the quadrant e so that the hand-lever may be kept well within reach, but when it is desired to vary the height of the tool-holder, the pinion is swung into gear with the rack and the stop thus moved round so that the quadrant may be disengaged from the rack. A projecting rim e<1> on the quadrant then engages the stop m to keep the pinion in engagement, and the bracket has a projection h<2> catching on a projection h<1> from the rack so that the rack is prevented from falling if the handle p for rotating the pinion islet go. The chisel is reversed in the holder i, Figs. 3 and 5, by a weighted forked lever, pivoted on a pin i<2> passing through a collar i<3> and spindle i<5> and held in one of two diametrically disposed notches in the holder. To remove the chisel, the spindle i<5> is given a slight blow. The folding brackets z which are used with long work, are adjusted for wear by a stud z<4> arranged on the lower half of the bracket contactiog with a stop z<5> on the upper portion. To adjust the longitudinal slide for wear, a cast-iron strip v is moved against the slide by an eccentrically headed bolt w, working in slots and depressions in the strip and having the end squared or nicked for the adjusting-tool. For the transverse slide, the strip x has parallel projections x<1>, Fig. 8, to receive the eccentric head of the bolt. Instead of using a nut and bolt, the eccentric head may be separate and kept in position by a stud-bolt screwing into the main framing of the machine.
