Title: Improvements in Burners for Combustible Vapours and Gases.
Inventor: TOLLEMACHE HUGH ERNEST
IPC: F23D14/00
Filed: 1911-05-11
Granted: 1912-05-02
Abstract: 11,390. Tollemache, H. E. May 11. Atmospheric gas and vapour burners. - A burner, the area of the flame surface of which is a considerable multiple of the area of the gas or vapour supply passage, is provided with a passage terminating in an horizontal circular aperture for laterally diverting the combustible fluid and delivering it in a direction having an outward radial horizontal component into an enclosed annular surrounding space of small vertical dimensions having a perforated cover, the part of this cover lying within the periphery of the circular aperture being supplied with the combustible through passages leading from the diverting passage. The mixing-tube a is provided with an internal doublethreaded helix a' which gives a whirling motion to the combustible mixture. This then passes through the pipe d, and between graduallydiverging surfaces d<1>, d<2> and the narrow circular aperture at their outer peripheries, into the outer enclosed annular space e, which is covered bv the perforated burner plate f and traversed by the air-supplying tubes j. Spiral fins, to sustain the whirling motion of the mixture are provided on the surfaces d<1>, d<2>, and the space between these diminishes outwards, so that the rate of flow of the mixture is approximately constant. Inclined passages g deliver the mixture with a whirl to the central part of the burner plate. The surface d<2> may be adjusted vertically by a spindle h and nut i to vary the proportion between the quantities of combustible supplied to the central and the outer parts of the burner plate. When vapour is used, it may be supplied to a chamber n connected also at n<1> to a compressed-air supply, whence it passes through nipples b, q, respectively, to the main burner and an auxiliary igniting-burner. The igniting-burner is formed by a channel. p which isolates a small part of the space e and is provided with a mixing-tube r. According to the Provisional Specification. spiral fins may be provided in the space e, the tubes j may be secured to the burner plate so as to be removable therewith, and the internal air - supply may be regulated by an iris diaphragm.

Patent GB-191211929-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Methods and Apparatus for the Manufacture of Metal Bilged Barrel Shells.
Inventor: MITTINGER GEORGE E
IPC: B21D5/01
Filed: 1912-05-20
Granted: 1913-02-06
Abstract: 11,929. Mittinger, G. E. May 20. Stamping.-Sheet-metal bilged barrel shells are made in two operations, the first consisting in forming from a metal sheet a blank with two parallel bilged bends and an intermediate parallel reverse bend, and the second consisting in upsetting and shaping the reverse bend into a curve and bilge corresponding with the curve and bilge of the parallel bends. In the form shown in Fig. 1, for performing the first operation, a die 1 is formed with two bilged recesses 2 and an intermediate projection 4 with an enlarged centre portion 5, the plane of the top of the projection being below that of the top of the die. The companion die 6 is formed with bilged projections 7 and an intermediate groove 8. The blank, which may be formed in the process with flanges 11 so as afterwards to obtain a lock seam, or which may have a lap or other seam, is then bent into shape in a die such as 12, Fig. 4, being supported on a centering-bar 20 which is carried by spring - pressed rods 21 and completes the shape of the die when it fits in the recess 23. The bending is effected by a die 14 of a shape corresponding to the die 12. The die 14 is provided with a pressure beam 17 with a pivoted leg 18 to permit of the removal of the completed shell. When forming larger-sized barrels, the tendency to form folds at the ends of the sheet due to the drawing inward of the metal in the formation of the bilges is reduced by distributors such as 26, Figs. 8 and 9, which correspond in cross - section to the shape of the dies 6 and are normally projected by adjustable springs 27 in front of the dies so that their lower ends are in the same plane as the bilge forming ends 3 of the dies 6. The distributors may be carried by the lower dies. When the metal has been bent until the distributors force it into contact with the ends 25 of the recesses 2, the distributors prevent the metal from folding while allowing it to be drawn in during the formation of the bilge by the further motion of the dies 6 in the recesses 3. In order that uniform and equal bending from both edges may be effected, the central projection 29<1> may be projected by a spring into the plane of the upper end of the dies, being finally pressed on its seating when the shaping is completed. The die 14 of the finishing-apparatus may also be formed with spring- mounted fold distributors similar to 26.
