Abstract: 2160. Lake, H. H., [Benelli, S.]. Jan. 27. Exhaust steam, returning to boiler; feedwater, heating and supplying.-Relates to means and apparatus for utilizing the waste steam from steam engines and other sources, and consists in injecting the waste steam into the boiler where it has been generated or into other high-pressure boilers. One arrangement of apparatus is shown in Fig. 1, the injecting or feeding apparatus b being shown in Fig. 3. Waste or exhaust steam passes to the chamber b by the pipe a while hot water or a mixture of water and steam is passed from the boiler c by the pipe d. The mixture of waste and live steam is injected by suitable nozzles into the boiler c through the pipe g, together with water, to make up losses, led from the tank e by the pipe f to the lower part of the chamber b. The pipe d may receive superheated steam or steam and water from a source independent of the boiler c, and, in such case, the injecting-apparatus shown in Fig. 4 is employed, to feed the waste and live steam with the feed to the boiler c by the pipe g. The chamber b has suitable ejector-like nozzles.

Title: Improvements in Transmitting Devices for Electric Telegraphic and like Apparatus
Inventor: JUSTICE PHILIP MIDDLETON
Filed: 1902-04-11
Granted: 1902-05-22
Abstract: 8487. Justice, P. M., [Rowland Telegraphic Co.]. April 11. Telegraphs. - Relates to arrangements at the printing-station for sending a number of messages simultaneously and also for recording the messages at the transmitting- stations. The invention is described in relation to the system of telegraphy described in Specification No. 10,970, A.D. 1900. Fig. 3 shows a section through the transmitting keyboard in which the keys 5 are pivoted on rods. The keys are weighted at their rear ends, and are arranged to contact with pairs of spring stops 6. The stops are arranged insid e a transverse case 8, and are connected to eleven strands of a cable, each key operating a different pair. The case 8 is adjustably fixed by means of brackets, and is provided with a lever 49, by which a contact controlling the counting-magnet is operated. The magnet 31 is arranged to operate a locking-device 28, by which the keys are held locked until the signal last sent is completed. Fig. 4 shows the counting-mechanism, consisting of a scale 36 and travelling pointer 38. The pointer is fed by the double spacing-racks 42, 43 and double spring pawls. The rack 43 is shifted by the magnet 48 and returned by the spring 45. A key 4, marked ' Back,' operates a double rack for rotating the racks 42, 43, to release the pawls when the pointer 38 is returned to zero by the coiled spring 63. When transmitting, each instrument is provided with a distributer, one-third of which is blank. These distributers are connected to a main distributer divided into sections corresponding to the number of transmitters, so as to put each transmitter to line in rotation. The local printing and looking devices are controlled by contacts on this mechanism.

The roll A<1> is mounted in a frame which is capable of sliding in a frame B<1> under the control of a spring E<1>. The tops are taken by the aprons from wheels T, H, respectively mounted near the comb ring E and the ring G. The ends of the slivers C' pass through the feed-boxes C, and are forced between the pins of the rings E, G by a dabbing-brush L<1>, and, during the rotation of the rings, are separated, as shown at a. The ends projecting from the ring G are directed by a guide X, over a series of wires N extending between a series of nuts P and fixed supports S, and lying within circumferential grooves in the wheels T, H. Springs R are fitted between the nuts N and fixed supports Q. As the ends pass over the wires N they are depressed by a pivoted beater L so as to be forced into a vertical plane and be caught between the wires N and wheel H, as shown in Fig. 5. Those ends which have passed the ring G and project from the ring E are directed by a guide S<1> to the wires N, beaten down over those wires by a pivoted beater W, and finally drawn off by the aprons.

Title: A New or Improved Method of Producing Dicalcium Phosphate
Inventor: BERGMANN EUGEN
Filed: 1903-09-07
Granted: 1904-07-07
Abstract: 19,267. Bergmann, E. Sept. 7. Calcium phosphates. - Consists in preparing dicalcium phosphate, Ca2H2(PO4)2 free from calcium sulphite, by dissolving tricalcium phosphate in cold aqueous sulphurous acid, and then adding monocalcium phosphate, or a mineral acid such as phosphoric, hydrochloric, or sulphuric acid, or else sodium bisulphate, which has an analogous reaction. If desired, the cold solution may be boiled before adding the mineral acid &c., but in any case the resulting mixture is boiled to expel all sulphurous acid. When sulphuric acid is used, the dicalcium phosphate contains calcium sulphate as an impurity. The phosphate may be used as an ingredient of animal foods.

Granted: 1904-10-27
Abstract: 14,385. Pichery, L. L. Feb. 13, [date applied for under Patents Act, A.D. 1901]. Turbines. - The heat of a fluid under pressure is transformed into work by using it in an injector or ejector or a series of them for compressing or exhausting air, the fluid pressure or the vacuum being utilized in a motor. Live steam or the exhaust of steam or explosion engines may be the source of power. Fig. 1 shows diagrammatically an ejector in which steam enters at 2 and draws air in at 3 ; the mixture draws air in successively through the openings 5, 7. Fig 4 shows the exhaust from a motor 9 working an ejector e which exhausts the chamber 21 connected with a vacuum engine 22 through a turbine 40 which drives a fan 38. An apparatus for both compressing air and creating a vacuum, which are used simultaneously on opposite sides or the same piston, is described.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Cooling, Heating and similar Apparatus.
Inventor: BURDH ARCHIBALD FRASER
Filed: 1904-07-06
Granted: 1905-07-06
Abstract: 15,129. Burdh, A. F. July 6. Condensers. - S u rface condensers, stated to be especially applicable for condensing exhaust steam, consist of vertical sheets of copper or other metal with corrugations or nodules formed on them, alternate chambers serving for the passage of the steam and cooling-fluid. In the form shown in Figs. 1 and 2, separate sheets A are placed vertically with distance-pieces B in a casing C. On the sides of every other chamber thus formed are stamped obliquely-placed corrugations a or isolated nodules, while on the other sides are arranged horizontal ridges a<1>, as shown. The steam enters one series of chambers at b and passes downwards, while water or other cooling-fluid ascends the other series, entering at b<1> and escaping at b<3>. Both fluids receive a churning motion due to the ridges and corrugations. The baffle c<3> prevents the escape of steam by trapping the condensation water. In one modification, the chambers may be formed of one sheet bent over on itself several times, or of several sheets, each bent once and placed side by side. Fig. 2 shows in plan a method of securing tight joints between the distance-pieces and sheets by means of a plate D and screws E.
