Filed: 1900-12-15
Granted: 1901-12-14
Abstract: 22,960. Shackleton, J., and Ross, A. Dec. 15. Acetylene. - Relates to apparatus in which the supply of water to the carbide is automatically regulated, and consists of the following improvements :-(1) The water which is supplied to the generator is caused to flow over the top of the generator bell B and down its sides into the tank A, in order to keep the bell cool. For this purpose, the top of the bell may be provided with a tank b, the sides of which may be perforated. (2) The gas is taken off from the generator by a pipe D, which rises as high as possible in the bell, and may be further fitted with a flexible pipe which is fixed at its upper end to the top of the bell B, and is perforated at a, Fig. 3, near its upper end for admitting the gas to it. (3) The carbide holder consists of a number of superimposed scoops or trays F, each being a half, third, quarter, or other portion of a circle, and arranged to break joint with the neighbouring ones, so that each scoop is exhausted in succession before another is attacked. These scoops may be mounted on a central tube E surrounding the gas outlet pipe D, and the tube E is fitted with a handle R for lifting the whole set of scoops out. The supply of water is regulated in the usual manner by a cock I connected by levers K, L, M and a cord N with the gas holder. Alternatively, the cock I may be controlled by the bell B of the generator, but usually the bell B is suitably weighted for giving the required pressure in the generator and does not move much. A dangerous excess of pressure is relieved by the gas blowing out beneath the bell.

Granted: 1903-04-01
Abstract: 7668. Evans, W. E., [Cox-Duplex Co.]. April 1. Cylinder machines with plane printing-surfaces.- Relates to cylinder machines, more particularly web printing-machines in which the cylinders reciprocate over stationary beds. If the cylinder is so packed that its diameter is greater or less than the pitch line of the toothed wheel by which it is rotated, it will tend to slip or grind on the bed as it rolls over it, and to injure the types or break the web. The invention consists in so mounting one of the driving-members that it may move and prevent such grinding. Fig. 1 shows a machine having a cylinder A reciprocating over the bed K, and rotated by the cylinder wheel F and rack E. The rack is mounted, by means of screws and slots I, so as to be capable of a limited longitudinal movement, and is held in normal position by stiff springs J. If the periphery of the cylinder is moving too fast or too slowly, one of the springs J will yield and the rack E will be moved. When the cylinder is off impression, as at A<1> or A, the rack is returned by the springs to normal position. The wheel F may be movable instead of the rack E.
