Abstract: 2098. Schmidt, W. Feb. 18, 1909, [Convention date]. Dampers for controlling superheaters.-A superheater placed between the banks of tubes in a water-tube boiler is controlled by a damper which restricts the passage of furnace gases through the boiler tubes when the superheater is in action. In the boiler shown in Fig. 1, when the superheater f is in action, the downward passage of the furnace gases through the front bank of water-tubes d is restricted by the damper k, and part of the gases pass downwards through the superheater. In the modification shown in Fig. 2, the gases pass through the superheater f in an upward course. The damper k, in this case, restricts the passage of the gases passing upwards through the outer bank of boiler tubes d. An additional damper i, Fig. 1, may be provided at the top of the superheater, which may thus be entirely cut off from the furnace gases.

Granted: 1910-10-06
Abstract: 2983. Westinghouse Metallfaden-Gl³hlampenfabrik Ges. Feb. 19, 1909, [Convention date]. Modifying chemical characters of metals.- Metal filaments are decarbonized and sintered in large numbers at a time by a protracted heating in a vacuum by external means, which may be non-electric. A previous heating in the absence of air to carbonize the binding-material may be omitted. A high vacuum is employed; the pressure should not exceed from 0À2-0À5 mm. of mercury, and at the commencement may be much lower, any residue of oxidizing-gas being too small to have any effect. Tungsten filaments may be heated up to 1200‹ C., and osmium and molybdenum filaments to a lower temperature for a longer time. Higher temperatures are required for coarser materials. The apparatus shown consists of a long porcelain tube 2, receiving porcelain boats 1 containing the filaments, and heated in the middle by a platinum resisting furnace 3; the ends are closed by rubber stoppers, one having a window for a Wanner pyrometer 5, and the other a tube leading to a Leybold, Gaede, or other pump through a vessel 8 containing phosphorus pentoxide. The carbon expelled from the filaments is deposited mainly towards the end of the porcelain tube 2, and water and other substances in the pentoxide vessel 8 and connecting-tube.

Abstract: 12,657. Bassett, F. W., and Hunter, W. A. Oct. 7, 1909, [Convention date]. Lift valves; actuating valves.-In flushing- apparatus with a tank such as 1, a valve 11 adapted to float on the water and normally close the outlet 10, with means for lifting the valve to allow water to be discharged and for guiding the movements of the valve within the tank, the valve-operating device comprises an annular sleeve 14 working within a casing 12 and provided with ports 15 for the inlet of air and outlet of water, the ports being opened and closed by the movements of the sleeve within the casing. The member 14, operated through a segmental pinion 21 and rack 19, is arranged to lift the ball off its seating, and a spring 28 on the stem 27 then jerks the ball upwardly so that it readily floats into the upper end of the guide 6. As soon as the handle 23 is released, the sleeve 14 drops until the ports 15 are opened, and the water escapes from the tank and finally replaces the valve 11 on its seating. The water enters at 3. An air-inlet valve 24 is provided. The guide 6 is formed with a vent 8. The Specification in the original form, as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a), states also that the operating-rack is formed on a hollow stem 13 terminating in an openended piston 21, as shown in Fig. 1A (cancelled). After the valve 9 has been jerked off its seat, the water first flows through the hollow stem to the underside of the piston and out through a space 22 between the outer edge of the piston and the enclosing-cylinder. When the piston check has fallen sufficiently for the screw 23 to project into the lower end of the stem 13, the discharge takes place more rapidly. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.
