Abstract: 17,363. Bauer, C. G., and Bauer Co. Aug. 28. Gas and like engines, rotary. The engine is described as a steam engine. The casing A, Figs. 1, 2, and 3, is divided by a partition A', each part having a piston chamber and an abutment chamber. Pistons C, each having a vane c', are secured to the driving-shaft B, which is also provided with a fly-wheel B<3> and pulley B<4>. The rotatable abutments D<1> are carried on separate shafts D, which also carry ratchet-wheels H, shown separately in Fig. 5. A step-by-step motion is imparted to the abutments by means of crank-arms G, loosely mounted on the shafts D and reciprocated by an eccentric B<1>. One arm carries a spring-pressed' pawl H<1> to engage the ratchet-wheel H. To prevent the abutments from overrunning, a cap H',. Fig. 5, is held frictionally against the crank-arms by means of the bolt shown, so that the crank-' arms, shaft D, and abutments follow the return stroke of the eccentric-rod until the tooth of the abutment contacts with the circular part of the piston. The admission valves E<1> are actuated from the eccentric by means of arms E<2> and links E<3>. Each inlet pipe J is preferably provided with a stop valve. The exhaust passages are marked F. In operation, one steam passage J is open and the other closed. The live steam acts on the vanes C<1>, and the ratchet-gearing rotates the abutments one tooth for each revolution of the piston. To reverse the engine, the other steam passage is opened and the first one closed, and the pawl H<1> is also reversed on the ratchet-wheel.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Elastic Fluid Generating Systems and in Apparatus for Controlling the Supply of Fuel and Vaporisable Liquid thereto.
Filed: 1906-06-27
Granted: 1907-06-27
Abstract: 14,695. British Thomson-Houston Co., [General Electric Co.]. June 27. Instantaneous generators.-Relates to elastic-fluid generating- systems and more particularly to apparatus for controlling the fuel and water pumps of flash boilers employed on self-propelled vehicles. Motion is transmitted from the rod 16 of the eccentric 12 to the water and fuel pumps 1, 2 by the liquid contained in a cylinder 18. This cylinder is fitted with' a by-pass 22 controlled by two valves 24, 25, which are operated - automatically by the pressures in the fuel and steam pipes 8, 27 on the diaphragm regulators 26. With normal load conditions, one or both of the valves 24, 25 are partially opened, thus allowing a certain amount of liquid to escape through the bypass the stroke of the pumps is then less than the maximum. Should the load on the vehicle increase, the valves close to a greater extent and less liquid is displaced, thus increasing the stroke of the pumps. The liquid which escapes through the by-pass is led to the feed-tank 3 and returned to the cylinder 18 through a pipe 5, branch pipe 29, and check valve 30. Springs 19 perform the return strokes of the pumps.

Title: Improvements in Automatic Return Valves for Steam Heating Apparatus.
Inventor: KINEALY JOHN HENRY
Filed: 1906-07-09
Granted: 1907-07-04
Abstract: 15,502. Kinealy, J. H. July 9. Piston valves; tubular valves.- Relates to a return valve for steam heating-systems, operated by the impact of the water of condensation. The casing a encloses a cylinder f, perforated with two series of holes o, p, and within which moves a piston h carrying a tube i provided with ports m and controlling the outlet apertures k. A small air vent n is formed in the outlet tube j. When the end of the cylinder is sealed by the accumulation of water, the extraction of air and vapour through the hole n reduces the pressure within it, so that the water is forced against the underside of the piston, which is lifted by the impact, allowing the water to escape. The uncovering of the holes o restores the balance and closes the valve. A pin q is provided to prevent excessive lift. In a modification, the cylinder f and piston hare replaced by an inverted bucket-shaped piece.

Abstract: 18,530. Watson, R. B., and Billetop, T. C. Aug. 18. Centrifugal pumps.-The component parts of centrifugal pumps are so designed as to permit of alteration of the "hand" of the pump and of the angular positions of the inlet and outlet pipes relatively to one another and to the vertical central plane of the shaft. The outlet pipe 1 and volute body 2 form one structure and may be cast in one piece. The circular openings in the body are large enough for the impeller 5 to be withdrawn. The two disks 7, forming the end walls, contain passages 10 leading from the common inlet 11 to the eye. They carry bearings 12, 16, and the disk nearest the engine is fitted with a flange 13 for bolting it to the bedplate. This disk preferably carries the whole of the inlet 11, the other disk being bolted on at 15, so that the angular position of the inlet may be varied by swinging round the flange 13. The circular flanges 6 allow the volute 2 with the.outlet 1 to be swung round into any position, or to be placed. in reversed position, and take the bolts securing the volute in that position to the disks. The neck 17 is sufficiently removed from the axis to clear the volute in any position. The facing 14 is in the same plane as the facing 6 which facilitates machining and fitting up. The plates 18 bounding the passage at the outlet are screwed to the disks 7.

Title: Method of Recovering Sulphur from Sulphuretted Hydrogen and Gases Containing Sulphuretted Hydrogen.
Inventor: HELLSING GUSTAF HENRIK
Filed: 1907-04-08
Granted: 1908-01-30
Abstract: 8164. Hellsing, G. H. April 8. Sulphur is recovered completely from hydrogen sulphide and gases containing hydrogen sulphide by using continually, in connexion with the reaction between sulphur dioxide and hydrogen sulphide, the same body of solvent containing a surplus of free sulphuric acid to coagulate any colloidal sulphur formed. Other coagulating-substances are stated to be acids, salts, or any body that is easily dissociated electrolytically and is indifferent to the chemical reactions taking place, mention being made of those referred to in Specifications No. 955, A.D. 1878, No. 5230, A.D. 1882, and No. 15,007. A.D. 1886. The gases containing .the sulphuretted hydrogen are freed therefrom by passage through a scrubber or the like, where they are acted on by the solution of sulphur dioxide containing the sulphuric acid. This solution runs into a receptacle for the precipitated sulphur to settle ; it is next pumped into an absorbing-apparatus for saturation with sulphur dioxide, and then returns to the scrubber as before. The cycle is continually repeated with the same solution, except for compensation for evaporation and renewal when the amount of ammonium salts, due to the use of nitrogenous raw materials, becomes too great.
