Granted: 1914-01-01
Abstract: 10,035. Marks, E. C. R., [Diamond Power Specialty Co.]. April 29. Cleaning, fluid-pressure processes for.-In a steam blower for cleaning water-tube boilers, provision is made for the circulation of cooling- water when the blower is not in use. The steampipe 6, Figs. 2 and 3, mounted in a shell 5 so as to be revoluble by a hand-wheel 19, obtains steam from a chamber 10 through holes 13, and is fitted with outlets 7. The cooling-arrangements comprise an inlet tube 30 and a return water jacket 23 respectively communicating with supply and outlet pipes 32, 28 through chambers 31, 27. The tube 30, passing through a plug 34 in the pipe 6, is closed by a plug 35, which also blocks the jacket 23, holes 37 giving communication between the tube and the jacket. The whole is caused to rotate with the pipe 6 by one or more rings of clamping-screws 23<a>, the end of the jacket being preferably formed with serrations 24 to cat a bearing for itself in the wall of the boiler setting. Expansion of the pipe 6 may be allowed for by making it in two or more telescoped portions. In a modification, Fig. 8, the discharge of the cooling liquid is at the opposite end to its inlet, the blower being shown as replacing one of the inclined tubes and connected to the hand-wheel 56 by an universal joint 57. The steam supply to the pipe 39 is by the pipe connexion 50 and holes 49, and the inlet 43 admits water to the jacket 38.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the Cooling of Cylinder Covers of Internal Combustion Engines.
IPC: F02F1/40
Filed: 1914-01-13
Granted: 1914-05-14
Abstract: 965. Maschinenfabrik Augsburg- Nurnberg Akt.-Ges. Jan. 14, 1913. [Convention date]. Cylinders, construction of and cooling.- Cylinder heads of internal-combustion engines are formed with inner and outer jackets cooled by streams of different character. Fig. 1 shows the lower cylinder-end of a double-acting engine. A stream of water of low temperature, small area, and high velocity enters the inner jacket at d and, passing over the heated wall p, issues at e. The outer jacket is cooled by a stream of larger area, lower velocity, and, if desired, of higher temperature. The water may circulate in series through both jackets, passing through the partition o at a point remote from the entrance d. Baffles may be arranged in the inner jacket to keep the stream of approximately constant area, and the height of the inner jacket may be diminished at points of excessive heating, for instance around the. exhaust valve. The two portions of the head may be cast separately and bolted together.

Abstract: 16,799. Sharman, A. W. July 15. Locating conductors.-Electric impulses of an abrupt nature are communicated to a pipe or other conductor from one pole of a generating- instrument, the other pole of which is connected to earth, and the position of the pipe is determined by means of a search coil of large area as compared with its thickness mounted on a frame, and connected with a telephone. The generator may be a low-resistance iron-cored coil A with a make-and-break device F and tappings B, C. The position of the pipes is determined by the maximum effect produced when the frame is held vertically, and moved over the ground, and the depth is found by moving the frame to some distance from the first position, as shown in Fig. 3, and tilting the frame to obtain the maximum or minimum effect. The frame is provided with a plumbbob d. When locating electric-light cables, a condenser of large capacity is connected in circuit with the induction coil.
