Filed: 1912-03-25
Granted: 1913-04-17
Abstract: 7283. Calvo, J. M. B. March 25, 1911, [Convention date]. Generators supplied with liquid successively; liquid supply controlled by motion of gasholder; purifying gases; solid in separate charges in generators.-An acetylene-generator consists of the combination of a common container d, Figs. 2 and 3, having a series of rows of carbide receptacles k arranged in stepped fashion with a correspondingly-positioned aperture n for each receptacle, with a water-supply system consisting of a siphon o carried by the gas-holder bell a and discharging water from a series of apertures t arranged to come into play at gradually increasing intervals. The water is discharged into a funnel g with discharge openings h, h<1> at different levels. These supply separate generators so that the second is brought into action if an excess of water is discharged. Rotation of the funnel puts the second generator permanently into action, and allows the exhausted one to be cleaned and recharged. The holes n in the carbide-receptacles are approximately one millimetre in diameter, which is sufficient to allow enough water to pass to moisten the carbide. Gas passes away through a water-sealed bell g', Fig. 2, counterbalanced so that decrease of pressure causes the bell to fall and seal the aperture l<1> through which gas passes. The bell may also be held in a depressed position by a rack and pawl. The gas is purified by passage through suitable material arranged between perforated plates carried by a water-sealed bell v<11>, Fig. 2.

The contents may be heated if required by means of a gas-ring 21. In modifications, the receptacle may be driven from a crankshaft placed below the container by means of a central rod, or the crank may be replaced by an oscillating lever, the receptacle and container being rectaugular in cross-section. The apparatus may also be used for starching linen, and a pressure gauge, blow-off cock, and liquid-level gauge may be provided.
