Title: Improvements relating to Boilers for Instantaneous Vaporisation.
Inventor: ROCHE HUGUES EMILE JOSEPH AUGU
Filed: 1904-10-14
Granted: 1905-10-14
Abstract: 22,168. Roche, H. J. E. A. Sept. 5, [date applied for under Patents Act, A.D. 1901]. Vapour engines. - A boiler for the instantaneous vaporization of water, hydrocarbons, and other liquids consists of two concentric cylinders A, B, between which the liquid passes, either directly or along helical or radial ribs C. The top and bottom of the cylinders are closed, the top by an annular cap D, which may be secured by bolting it to the base F or by screwing it on the cylinders. The boiler, when used as a steam generator, is heated by the direct contact of hot products of combustion with its surfaces ; otherwise, heat is communicated by a liquid of high boiling-point surrounding the boiler and taking up heat from a petroleum or other burner. The secondary liquid circulates through coils K surrounding the burner J, and, entering the casing G through a bent tube L, passes along the sides of the boiler, which may be provided with helical ribs, to the outlet M, whence it is returned by a pump to the coils. The products of combustion from the burner escape through a central chimney N, and, in some cases, they may be made to pass down again along the outside of the casing G. The chimney and the casing may be formed with helical surfaces, similar to those shown in the boiler, for increasing the travel of the gases. When a secondary liquid is not employed, the products of combustion may pass downwards along the boiler instead of upwards.

Abstract: 23,589. Pfingst, L. Nov. 1. Brakes, electric and hand-power. The chainwinding spindle P, Fig. 3, of a car brake is fitted with an electromotor by means of which the brakes may be applied, and with a disconnectible handlever A<10> by means of which the brakes may be applied when the electromotor is not thrown into circuit. The motor consists of two poles 0 on the casing B, and an armature N' on a hollow spindle N running in bearings C, T, and terminating in a clutch cone K, into which the cone J is forced by depressing the outer end of the foot-lever E. The ring F supporting and forming a bearing for the cone J is connected to the ring-like part of the lever E by pivots B<5>, and the lever E is supported by lugs B<11>, Fig. 10, and links D, which straighten like a toggle when the lever E is depressed, thus lifting the cone J and completing the electric circuit through the wires B<8>, contacts B', B<3>, B\ wires B<9>, pole windings O, brushes Y<1>, commutator O<1>, and the armature, and thence back again through a similar circuit to the wire B'‹. The motor is thus connected to the spindle P by means of the key I in the cone J, and thus winds up the chain Q connecting the spindle P to the brake rigging. The brakes may be held on by a pawl which the driver moves by means of his foot so as to engage it with or disengage it from the toothed wheel G on the cone J. The handle A<10> is pivoted at A<6> to a block A<5> on the pin A<9> at the upper end of the spindle P, so that, by moving the handle on its pivots A<6>, the bolt A' may be moved into or out of one of the recesses A<3> in the spindle P.

Granted: 1905-11-16
Abstract: 29,257. Taylor, P. Dec. 31. Winding - machines.-The object is to drive the spindles at a gradually decreasing speed as the diameter of the bobbins increases owing to the winding of the yarn thereon. Each spindle B is driven through a pair of cone drums C, H, - of which the drum H is driven from the tin roller F, and the strap M is traversed along the drums as the winding proceeds. For the purpose of traversing the strap M in the manner desired, the strap fork is mounted to slide on rods n and is operated by a lever N which carries a loosely sliding weight U and is connected with a slide Q carrying a feeler roller S which presses against the yarn being wound. At the commencement of the winding operation, the parts occupy the positions shown in the right-hand portion of Fig. 1, and, as the feeler roller S is moved owing to the increasing diameter of the bobbin, the slotted end of the lever N is gradually raised so as to move the strap M along the cone pulleys until, when the bobbin is full and the strap M has reached the upper end of the cone drum C, the strap is quickly transferred to the loose pulley owing to the sliding of the weight U on its arm of the lever N. For doffing purposes &c., the bobbin is raised from its driving-disc W by a lever X.

Granted: 1907-04-04
Abstract: 8616. Leibius, A. H., [Leibius, T. F. G.]. April 10. Switches.-An electro-magnetic switch for testing &c., which may be actuated from a distance, consists of a movable armature or electro-magnet and spring contacts connected to the mains. The electro-magnet b, Fig. 1, is pivoted at a beneath an armature n. Two spring contacts c, d are connected to the brushes l,.k of the generator, and a two-way switch e at the station is arranged to connect one end of the winding b to either of the leads at for g. If the switch e is moved from f to g, a current flows through the winding b, and the electro-magnet is attracted by the armature n, and is carried over to make contact with the spring d. The movement may be reversed by putting, the switch e on to the contact f. This form may be used with direct or alternating current, and may be modified so that the armature is movable and the electro-magnet stationary. Two fixed electromagnets b<1>, b<2> may be used, as shown in Fig. 3, the armature being controlled by a spring. For direct currents only, a permanent horseshoe magnet may be substituted for the armature n, Fig. 1, and, in addition, two windings b<1>, b<2> may be used, as shown in Fig. 5. The switch may be adapted for use in a three-phase system, by having three electromagnets b<1>, b<2>, b<3> connected to the mains from the brushes I, II, III. A lead connects the electromagnets and the axle a of the armature to the switch e. The armature has a spring d, which may make contact with springs c<1>, c<2>, c<3> connected to the mains through resistances m<1>, m<2>, m<3>. When the switch e is in contact with the lead g and brush II, a current flows through the switch e, armature n, and resistance m<1> to the brush I. Other currents also flow through the electro-magnets b<1>, b<3>, and cause the armature spring d to make contact with the spring c<2>. According to the Provisional specification, the switch may be used to operate other switches or cut-outs for lamps, meters, and transformers.
