Abstract: 5646. Beeson, L., and Thurgood, J. L. March 5. Geysers a n d instantaneous water - heaters.- Relates to apparatus for use with cooking stoves for rapidly heating water. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 3, water supplied by a pipe b passes over the interior of a corrugated or ribbed conical receptacle a<2> and reaches one or more deep narrow concentric channels a<3>, from which it is drawn off through the outlet pipe c. The pipe c is arranged in a spiral encircling the channel a<3>. The apparatus may be provided with a fixed or removable cover. In a modification, the water flows over the convex surface of the conical receptacle from the centre outwards. The heater may be simply placed on the stove, or may be clamped thereto. The supply pipe may be arranged in a coil underneath the heater. The lifting of the heater from the stove is usually arranged so as to cut off the water supply. Fig. 4 shows a construction in which the heater is automatically raised when empty. The heater is mounted on a counterbalanced arm h, carried by a bracket d. When the supply is opened the entrance of water into the heater causes it to descend. Water can be supplied from the ordinary service tap through flexible tubing.

Granted: 1915-02-11
Abstract: 6818. Andina, G., and Bottomley, J. W. March 18. Tunnel kilns; doors.- A kiln for the glazing and enamelling of tiles &c. comprises a number of spaced tiers of muffles 1 heated by zigzag flues 8, 9, 10 situated at about the middle of the length of the kiln. The portions of the muffles near the charging and discharging ends E, F form preheating and cooling sections respectively, and are situated in chambers, to which air can be admitted through apertures 13, 14, 16 for regulating the temperature. The heating- flues 8, 9, 10 are connected, preferably in pairs to exhaust flues 4 independently controlled by dampers 5. The discharge ends of the muffles are closed by perforated doors which are horizontally hinged at their lower edges and rest against the inclined end faces of the muffles. The furnace 7 projects laterally from the kiln near the flues 8, and has a regulable air supply to the ash-pit for controlling the temperature. The tiles are supported on trays and are moved through the muffles by pusher bars which engage and travel with the trays. The uppermost muffle of each tier is formed with an arched or ridge roof.

Title: Improvements in and connected with Locking Devices for Railway Carriage Doors.
Inventor: GALLEY JAMES GEORGE
IPC: E05B65/42
Filed: 1914-04-23
Granted: 1915-04-15
Abstract: 10,046. Galley, J. G., and Halson, E. C. April 23. Railway-carriage doors, fastening automatically.-One or other of a pair of bolts 2 connected by an equi-armed lever 6 is applied to a door according as a wind-vane 18, 19 acting through levers 7, 13 is set one way or the other by encountering the air. As shown in Figs. 2 and 3, the vane, instead of being fast on the shaft 12 of the lever 13, may be loose and have a tooth 23 engaging a sector 22, which is fast on the shaft 12 of the lever. The tooth is the end of a bolt sliding above a spring 24 in a socket 25. This construction allows the vane to yield to a strong current, the spring tooth snapping up over the teeth of the sector. When the vehicle stops, the vane 19 seeks the vertical by virtue of its weight. Should it be in any other notch than that in which it is shown, it will first withdraw one bolt and then shoot the other in one motion, afterwards riding over the notches to that in which it is shown, when it will free both bolts. The condition essential is that the angle between adjacent notches be in excess of that required to shoot the bolts.

Granted: 1915-04-22
Abstract: 10,312. Wood, L. A., and Minerals Separation, Ltd. April 25. Surface-tension separating processes and apparatus.-Ores, such as sulphide ores, are concentrated by subjecting a pulp free from oil or frothing-agent to the admission of a gas, the bubbles of which raise certain particles of the ore towards the surface and discharge them within the pulp, below the surface of which they are caught and removed. The pulp may be acidified. In the apparatus shown, the pulp is admitted through a pipe H to a vessel A provided with an agitator C, baffles D, an air-inlet pipe B, and a trough E. The bubbles which raise the concentrates deposit them before reaching the liquid surface F in the trough E, from which they may be discharged continuously or intermittently. The tailings may be discharged through a pipe J. In a modified apparatus, the whole of the aerated pulp passes from the agitation vessel into a vessel provided with an inclined baffle leading to a concentrates discharge, and with an inclined lower wall leading the tailings into the air-inlet pipe, by which they are again admitted to the agitation vessel; or a separate outlet for the continuous discharge of the tailings may be provided. Specifications 1146/02, 16,839/03, 7803/05, and 23,949/10 are referred to.

Filed: 2000-01-07
Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To shorten the coupling time lag of a clutch by providing a feed bypass valve feeding the discharge oil of a hydraulic pump directly to a clutch chamber by bypassing a pressure control valve at the time of clutch coupling. SOLUTION: When a speed change is started, a feed bypass valve 7 and a pressure control valve 4 are concurrently opened to feed a large flow to a clutch chamber 1a, the feed bypass valve 7 is closed after the prescribed time, and only the pressure control valve 4 is continuously opened to feed the prescribed flow to the clutch chamber 1a until the clutch chamber 1a is filled. After the clutch chamber 1a is filled, the hydraulic fluid of the clutch chamber 1a is controlled to be slightly increased. When a clutch 1 is coupled, the multi- disk clutch is smoothly pressed by a piston 1b without generating a shock, and a vehicle can be smoothly traveled.  When the speed change is started, a large flow of the hydraulic fluid is fed to the clutch chamber 1a with a large- capacity piston volume, the filling time is shortened, and the coupling time of the multi-disk clutch 1 can be set within the prescribed target time.
