Granted: 1912-05-30
Abstract: 25,745. Smal, P. Nov. 18. Multitubular boilers; partitions in water space; circulation tubes in boiler; conveying steam into water-space. -Relates to an horizontal boiler divided by an internal partition into two chambers, one chamber containing the furnace and the other the flue-tube or tubes. The chambers communicate with each other by one or more tubes opening at the water-level in the chamber receiving the feed-water and passing down into the water in the other chamber, from which the steam is taken. The lowering of pressure in the latter chamber, due to the withdrawal of steam, causes steam and water to pass through the tubes from one chamber to the other. A tube 10 extending horizontally from the partition 4 opens at the water-level in the chamber 5, to which the feed is supplied, and has depending branches 13 which conduct steam and water into the lower part of the chamber 6. The two chambers of the multitubular boiler shown are detachable, and are in communication through an additional tube 9.

Abstract: 253. Seely, F. G., and Wood, G. Jan. 3. Tappet-actuated pumps; stroke, varying.-In an internal-combustion engine of the kind described in Specification 22,308/05, [Class 7, Air and gas engines], or in any two - strokecycle engine in which the main air charge is supplied to the working cylinder from a pump or its equivalent, and liquid fuel is atomized and injected during or at the end of the compression stroke, all the valves and other controlling-devices of each cylinder, including the fuel pump plunger E<2>, are worked from a single eccentric linkage gear through the medium of a rocking lever C<1>. The gear comprises an eccentric X<1> on the crank-shaft, an eccentric rod X<10> connected to the rocking lever C<1> by an expansion link H, and drag-links Z<1> connected to the end of the link H and adjusted by a hand-control lever Z. By adjusting the lever Z towards its central position, the stroke of the rocking lever C<1> is altered, and the effect is to reduce the stroke of the plunger E<2> by increasing the amount of lost motion between the lever arm G<2> and the slotted pump-rod E', so that the supply of liquid fuel is reduced. The lever Z is thrown right over for reversing.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Coin-freed Prepayment Mechanism.
IPC: G07F15/02

Granted: 1913-11-17
Abstract: 26,358. Hamilton, W., and Ferranti, Ltd. Nov. 16. Switches, quick-action; springs, arrangement of.-A switch for prepayment meters of the type described in Specification 26,966/06, is closed by one spring, retained closed against the throw-off action of a second spring, and is tripped by a fly-wheel which is driven by a third spring wound up by the act of closing the switch. When the operator rotates a spindle s, Fig. 4, a cam t acts upon a member u and turns a lever b, against the resistance of a spring r, so as to bring a bell-crank lever o pivoted thereon into engagement with a pin p on a switch arm a controlled by a throw - off spring w. Simultaneously a sector c on the lever b rotates a spindle e, Fig. 1, carrying a disk f, and a projection g on the disk engages a pin h on a fly-wheel i, which is loose on the spindle e but connected by a spring m to the disk f. The fly-wheel is thus carried round by the disk, and at the end of its movement a spring detent k engages a cam j on the fly-wheel and locks the latter against return movement. By this time the lever u has escaped from the cam t, and the spring r returns the lever band with it the switch arm a, thereby closing the circuit through the switch block a<1>. During the return movement of the lever b, the sector c rotates the spindle c in the opposite direction and winds up the spring m which connects the locked fly-wheel i and the disk f. At the conclusion of the supply the detent k is tripped, whereupon the spring m rotates the fly-wheel. A projection n on the wheel trips the bell-crank o, thus permitting the throw-off spring w to open the switch.

Abstract: 29,161. Roberts, J. W., Brewster, A. P., and Bryson, B. Dec. 18. Sewing-machines; feeding long lengths of fabric; stopping - gear, automatic.-The fabric is drawn through the machine by frictional engagement w i t h a ratchet - operated feedroller 54, Fig. 3. Before passing to t h e machine, the fabric is led over rollers 24 and 23 and under a feelerrod 26, Fig. 4. In passing from the machine to the feed - roller, the fabric passes under a second feeler-rod 66. By means of the feeler-rod 26, the fabric normally holds a lever 28 in the position shown. When the tension of the fabric fails, the lever 28 falls and a leaf 48, which moves with it, in removing its support from a continuously reciprocating rod 47, permits this to engage with a shoulder 49<a> of a lever 52. The lever 52 normally holds a clutch-lever 15 in driving position, but when actuated by the rod 47 it moves to release the clutch-lever and the machine is stopped; at the same time, a lever 63 is raised and lifts with it the pawl-carrying pitman 59, whereby the operation of the feed-roller is stopped. If the tension of the fabric is unduly increased, the feeler-rod 66 is raised; arms 68 of a shaft 69 bearing upon the feeler-rod 66 rise with it and another arm 70 on the shaft 69, by means of a rod 71, lifts the pawl 58 from the ratchet-wheel. The fabric is pressed on to the feed-roller 54 by two rollers 73, Figs. 4 and 7, carried by arms 75 pivoted upon a shaft 77 and urged towards the roller by springs 84 secured upon the shaft. The shaft can be turned to remove the rollers by a hand-lever 81 and is normally held in place by means of a spring-bolt 83 which locks the hand-lever in position. To stop the machine when the needle thread breaks, a spring-pressed plunger 103, Fig. 9, is mounted within a case 99 which is pivoted to the machine head and is normally held to the right of its central position by the tension of the thread which passes through an eye 105 upon it. When the thread breaks, a spring 102 moves the case 99 to the left and brings the plunger into line with a projection 96 on the needle-bar which thereupon engages the plunger, moves it downward and causes it to engage a trip-lever 110 of the stop gear.
