Title: A Feed Regulator for Steam Boilers.
Inventor: ISELER ALBERT CARL
Filed: 1906-08-01
Granted: 1907-07-18
Abstract: 17,348. Iseler, A. C. Aug. 1. Feed-water, controlling.-Relates to regulators fitted with a piston or diaphragm. According to the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, the cylinder containing the piston 3 or diaphragm is connected with the boiler by two pipes R, r, of which one terminates low down in the water space and the other at the desired level. A weight g presses the piston in the direction of the pipe r. When the level falls below the end of this pipe, steam enters the cylinder and moves the piston to the left, overcoming the weight g. This movement causes the piston valve 2 to open communication between the feed-pipe q and the non-return valve s leading into the boiler. In a modification, the valve s is controlled directly from the lever of the weight g. In the further modification shown in Fig. 3, the piston k moves vertically. The feedvalve s may be fitted inside the casing of the regulator, or it may be separate, as shown in dotted lines, where the weight g is connected indirectly with the piston k. The apparatus may also be used to control the suction side of the pump or the steam valve of the injector.

Abstract: 2037. Bentley, H. Jan. 26. Conveyers of the vibrating or swinging trough type are operated by connecting-rods always in tension, and are provided with an improved bracket for supporting the spring legs. The connecting- rod B, Fig. 1, is always maintained under tension by a spring A, and is of such length that, when the driving-crank is in the central position, the spring legs C occupy the normal position given them by the brackets E. Under these circumstances, the connecting-rod may be formed of a flexible band of iron or steel, and a one-half bearing-bush only is necessary on the crank-shaft. In a modification, the connecting-rod is in the opposite direction so that the weight of the load acting through the spring legs tends to tension the connecting-rod. Dash-pots, alone or combined with springs, may be used for tensioning the connecting-rod. Fig. 4 shows an improved clamping-bracket for the laths C of the kind in which the clamping plate M and bracket N are extended beyond the part that actually grips the leg and curved to the form taken by the leg in its extreme positions.

Granted: 1908-03-04
Abstract: 5187. Carbonnelle, H. March 4. Engraving.-In facsimile telegraphs, currents resulting from the varying conductivity of the original are led through an electro-magnet which operates a diaphragm carrying an engraving-point, which records upon a surface moving synchronously with the original. In the case of silver or platinum photographs, the varying quantities of reduced metal present, and in the case of carbon prints the varying thickness of the pigment layer, produce variations in the current. Drawings and the like may be executed in insulating-ink on a metal surface, or in lithographic ink transferred on to a tinfoil surface. Intaglio and relief originals, threecolour blocks, or grained or striped pictures may be copied in the same way, the last-named yielding currents of uniform intensity, but varying duration. By using a lithographic transfer for the original, or by reversing the direction of motion of the cylinder of the receiver, an engraved surface may be obtained for printing purposes. Apparatus suitable for the purposes mentioned comprises a rotary cylinder 9 on a threaded spindle 7, with which engages a nut 16 for traversing across the cylinder a carriage 22, which is adapted to receive either a disk 25, Fig. 5, carrying a stylus 26 for transmission, or the parts shown in Fig. 6 for receiving.

Granted: 1908-03-12
Abstract: 11,594. Allgemeine Elektricitõts-Ges. May 21, 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Motors, controlling ; field magnets. - Electric motors with series or compound characteristics for driving rolling-mills are supplied with current from a generator which may be differentially compound-wound so as to limit the current supplied to the motor to a predetermined value, the main field windings of the generator being connected across the armature of an auxiliary exciter, and the field winding of the motor connected across the brushes of an auxiliary exciter itself excited by a current proportional to the current in the motor. To reverse the motor, both the generator and motor fields are reversed. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, a motor m with a compound characteristic is employed, the series winding k being connected across the terminals of the exciter h, which is itself excited by the winding i carrying the main motor current or a current proportional thereto. In order to reverse the motor, the switch g is reversed so as to reverse the current from another exciter e through the main field b of the generator a, and the current through the motor main field winding k is reversed by means of the switch l. In a modification, Fig. 2, the arrangement described is applied to a system in which the generator is provided with a main current demagnetizing-winding c designed to limit the current supplied to the motor and itself supplied with current from the auxiliary exciter h. With such arrangements, automatic circuit-breakers are not usually necessary, but a circuit-breaker may be introduced into the circuit of the shunt exciting winding of the main generator, the tripping or resistance-introducing mechanism being operated by the current generated by the exciter h. The Specification in the original form as published under the Act of 1901 comprises also arrangements of circuits for controlling and reversing a motor with a series characteristic by supplying the field from an auxiliary generator which also supplied one of the differential field windings of the main generator. This subjectmatter does not appear in the Complete Specification as accepted.
