Title: Improvements in Motive Fluid Generators.
Inventor: SMITH ROBERT HENRY
Filed: 1913-05-22
Granted: 1914-03-05
Abstract: 11,995. Smith, R. H. May 22. Direct gas and steam pressure apparatus.-Relates to generators for motive fluid consisting of a mixture of steam and combustion products as described in Specification 6394/98, [Class 8, Air and gases, Compressing &c.], and comprises among other matters means for regulating the water level in the generator, and for forcing the water into the generator. Water enters the generator from a chamber 40 containing a float 44 which operates a valve 50 controlling a pipe 51 supplying air under pressure whereby water is forced from a tank 36 to the chamber 40. The tank 36 is arranged under the chamber o so that the heat from the chamber c is utilized to heat the feedwater, and the supply of water to the tank 36 is controlled by the device shown in Figs. 8 and 10. The tank 36 is connected with a chamber 53 containing a lever 63 carrying a float 64 and a counterpoise 65. The compressed air which forces the water from the tank 36 to the chamber 40 passes through the chamber 53. The lever 63 also carries valves 58, 59 controlling the supply of compressed air to the chamber 53 and an outlet to the atmosphere respectively. The tendency of the pressure of the air on these valves is to raise the float 64, but the valve 58 is nearer to the fulcrum of the lever 63 than the valve 59. The weight 65 is so aijusted that the valve 58 will remain open, and consequently'water is driven into the boiler until the tank 36 is nearly empty. The float 64 then falls, closing the valve 58 and opening the valve 59. Water than passes by a gravity feed-device to the tank 36, but owing to the relative positions of the valves 58, 59 the float 64 will not rise till the tank 36 is nearly full, whereupon the chamber 53 and tank 36 are again cut off from the atmosphere and opened to the co npressed-air supply.

Granted: 1915-06-24
Abstract: 16,591. Titania Schreibmaschinen Ges. Jan. 20, [Convention date]. Relay actions.-A device for preventing repeated impressions from being made when the keys are held depressed consists of a pawl for each key-lever, adapted on depression of the key-lever to be moved into position for locking the actuating-mechanism; means may also be provided for restraining the pawls so as to permit such repeated impressions to be made when required for purposes such as underscoring. As applied to a machine in which the key-levers d release levers m which are operated by springs q and are returned by the engagement of cams n with a driving-shaft k, the key-levers are connected by slots r and pins s to pawls h which are pivoted at p below the pivots f of the keylevers and are normally clear of the levers m. On depressing a key-lever, the associated lever m is released and the pawl is moved forwards by a spring t into position to catch the lever m on its return and thereby preventing a second operation from occurring. On release of the key-lever, the pawl is moved backwards by the slot r and the lever m is caught by the key-lever. Owing to the relative arrangement of the pivots p, f and the pins s, the key-levers move through a greater arc than the pawls and are thus brought into locking position before the pawls are completely released. The pawls can be prevented from acting, by means of a stop such as a shaft u formed with a flat which normally faces the tails h<1> of the pawls. On rocking the shaft by means of a key v, the shaft engages the tails of the pawls and locks the pawls.
