Granted: 1909-09-16
Abstract: 5289. Carpenter, C. C. March 4. Incandescent gasburners.-The mixing-tube of an inverted incandescent gas lamp is removably attached to the gas fitting by means of a bayonet joint, and is retained in position by a spring or springs. The nozzle d screws on to the pipe c, making a gas-tight joint at p with the cap b, and the mixing- tube a, which is provided with air-holes, fits loosely within the cap band is retained in position by pins which engage slots therein. A washer r, provided with springy projecting- tongues, presses the mixing-tube downwards, thereby retaining it in position. In modifications, either a single helical spring arranged concentrically with the tube c, or a number of helical springs arranged near the periphery of the cap b are substituted for the washer r.

Granted: 1910-05-19
Abstract: 12,336. Baulino, C., and Zini, U. May 25. Four-stroke-cycle engines ; cylinders, cooling.-A radial-cylinder engine is provided with an even number of oppositely - disposed cylinders. The piston-rods carry rollers in engagement with a cam on the main shaft. The cam may be provided with two or more swells, and is constructed so that the distance between either adjacent or alternate rollers remains constant, and so that the polygonal line joining the centres of all the rollers remains practically constant in length. An eight-cylinder engine with a two-swell cam is shown in Figs. 2 and 3. The rollers of alternate cylinders are connected by rods 17. The cross-heads are provided with rollers 5 which run in radial slots in the casing. In the arrangements shown in Figs. 9 and 10, the rollers are connected by rigid links or by an endless chain or wire rope. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 7, three cylinders are connected to a cross-head 35. When explosions take place in the lateral cylinders, suction takes place in the middle cylinder and vice versa. The rollers are thus kept in contact with the cam without the aid of external mechanism. The cylinders are cooled by a fan 16 on the main shaft.

Title: Improvements in Station Indicators.
Inventor: ANDERSON ANDREW GADE
Filed: 1909-06-07
Granted: 1910-05-19
Abstract: 13,306. Anderson, A. G. June 7. Reel and web apparatus.-A station indicator has the rolls 24, 25 on which the indicating-band 38 is wound arranged so that one or other of them is an frictional engagement with a driving- roller 3 whereby the band may be wound in either direction. The band may also bear advertisements. The rolls 24, 25 are carried in slots 31 in a shifting frame 29, and are connected by springs 28, which draw the operative roll into frictional engagement with the driving-roller. A handle 33 serves for moving the frame into its extreme positions, and it is then locked by a latch 36 engaging notches 34. The driving-roller is operated by pulling a cord 19 or in any other way, and the band is wound independently of the cord by a handle 43. The actuating-cord 19 is connected to a chain 15 carried by a sprocket-wheel 14, which drives the roller 3 through a ratchet clutch, the fixed member 10 of which is secured to the end of the roller, while the other member 11 is loosely mounted on a sleeve 9, and is pressed against the fixed member by a spring 8. Teeth 22 formed on the end of the sleeve coact with a spring-pawl 23, forming a non-return device. The cord 19 runs between pulleys 20, and its movement is limited by stops 21, while it is held in a retracted position by a spring connected to the chain by a cord 16, Fig. 5, passing over a pulley 18. Pins 5 on the end-face of the driving-roller trip a lever sounding an alarm or bell. The casing is provided with a hinged front 2, behind which the band is guided by rolls 42.

Title: Improvements in Steam Traps.
Inventor: BARTON JOHN WOODMAN
IPC: F16T1/06
Filed: 1909-11-09
Granted: 1910-08-18
Abstract: 25,890. Barton, J. W. Nov. 9. Steam-traps.-A steam - trap has an outer expansion tube B carrying a valve D co-operating with a seat on an inner tube A, the coefficient of expansion of the inner tube being greater than that of the outer tube, and the length and coefficient of expansion of the outer tube being in proportion to the area of the valve opening, so that the trap will discharge to a vacuum or to a partial vacuum. The trap works normally under a vacuum, the steam and air between the tubes being withdrawn by a pump, so that no heat is conducted from the inner to the outer tube ; if the vacuum is cut off, steam passes through ports K to the space between the tubes and expands the outer tube, so that the valve opening is increased to compensate for the loss of head due to the rise in pressure on the discharge side. A tube W may be placed in the dead-air space.

Abstract: 3109. Baschkin, J., and Siabloff, A. Feb. 8. Giffard injectors; nozzles; overflow arrangements; mounting and supporting. - Injectors of the type in which both the suction and the overflow are connected to a water-tank are combined for use on locomotives so that only two or three hose connexions are necessary between the locomotive and the tender. As shown in Fig. 5, the suction pipe b of the first injector is connected to the overflow pipe c of the second injector, and the suction pipe b of the latter is connected to the overflow pipe c of the first injector, only two connexions thus being necessary to the water-tank f. In a modification, the two suction pipes b and connected separately to the tank, and a third connexion receives the overflow from both pipes c. To assist the starting of the injectors, one or both may be fitted with an upwardlyextending pipe g with a non-return valve h at the top. Steam and air can pass away freely at starting; and when the injector is in operation, the valve h prevents air from being drawn in. With the construction shown in Fig. 4, the injector can be removed while the boiler is under steam by closing the steam and delivery valves k, 1, which are formed in a fitting i secured to the boiler.

Abstract: 12,467. Macmeikan, J. May 23. Preserving food.-Relating to apparatus for circulating air through chambers, such as those use d for preserving food &c. by means of cooled, moistened, or heated air. The air is admitted to the chamber near the ceiling through rows of trough-shaped inlets 6, which are fitted with similarly shaped sliding dampers 8. The dampers have openings 9 at the bottom and are provided with lugs 10 extending through slots in the inlets 6. To prevent the accumulation of moisture near the ceiling, openings 12 are provided in the inlets. The air is withdrawn from the chamber through rows of vents 13 in the floor, each row being connected to a separate passage 15. The passages 15 communicate with a common passage leading to the suction of a fan 1. The passages 15 are fitted with rotary valves, the shafts of which may be operated bv worm gearing. The valves may be operated alternately, or any one valve may be put out of operation. The valves consist of segmental wings on shafts 18 having wormwheels engaged by worms mounted to slide on a transverse shaft. The air from the chamber may pass through an apparatus 26 for heating, cooling, or moistening the air, or it may be discharged into the atmosphere. The apparatus 26 contains a compartment 27, with which may communicate a cooling-apparatus 30 or a heating-apparatus 34. The cooler consists of a water-spray in a casing. The heater consists of passages fitted with electric lamps.

Abstract: 12,827. Leechman, G. D. May 26. Variable-speed gearing.-Two of the rotating parts of an engine are employed as parts of a variable-speed gear, the driving-pulley being mounted upon one of such parts, and being adapted to be driven thereby directly or through the other rotating part at a different speed. Fig. 1 shows the driving-pulley 6 mounted on the crank-shaft 2 of a four-stroke-cycle engine and connected by chain gearing 7, 8 to the halfspeed cam-shaft 1. The movement of a lever 11 about the pivot 12 works friction clutches 9, 10, which lock one or the other of the wheels 7, 8, to its shaft, or leave both free. Spur gearing may be substituted for the chain gearing and in this case the clutch 9 may be dispensed with, and the spur-wheel 8 on the shaft 1 slid axially into and out of gear with the wheel 7. By duplicating the spur gearing, a three-speed gear is obtained. The pulley 6 may be separate from the wheel 7 and locked to it or to the crankshaft by suitably modifying the clutch 10, the wheels 7, 8 in this case remaining permanently in gear.

The air enters through openings i from a box h above the desiccant, and passes out on the other side of the chamber through like openings below it. When the desiccant is exhausted, the air is passed through another chamber, and hot gases are passed through the pipes e in the first chamber which is opened to the atmosphere. Finally, the hot gases are cut off and the chloride allowed to cool, assisted where necessary by the passage of cold water through the pipes d.
