Granted: 1914-06-18
Abstract: 14,085. Veulle, F. H. de. June 18. Spray carburettors. - To prevent waste of fuel due to blowing - back or surging of the mixture in the induction pipe, the air inlet is fitted with a baffle. The baffle C is curved and overhangs the flared end of the air-inlet pipe A, upon which it is secured by a spider D and a clip. The curved form of the baffle causes liquid particles to be deposited by centrifugal force, and this action may be assisted by roughening the interior of the baffle. Several baffles concentrically arranged may be employed. Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specifications 24,878/01, 20,899/04, 28,276/04, 17,540/07, and 16,082/09.
Patent GB-191316186-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Heat Radiators.
Inventor: MAX ARNDT
IPC: G05D23/01
Filed: 1913-07-14
Abstract: 16,186. Arndt, M. July 13, 1912, [Convention date]. Void, [Published under Section 91 of the Act.] Thermometers; calorimeters. - A radiator system is connected with automatic recording- means for recording the number of heat units transmitted by the radiators. The radiators A, B, C, &c., which may be supplied from the same or separate sources of heat, have arranged on them hollow bodies Va, Vb, &c. containing air and connected to an arm L of a U-shaped tube, the other arm 5 of which is open to the atmosphere and contains a recording float 10. At the bottom of the U-tube is a chamber 3, which opens into a tube 2, the month of which opens beneath the surface of mercury in a chamber 1 and is adapted to be closed by a valve 9 operated by a float 7 in the air chamber 6 of the U-tube. The chamber 1 is connected by a tube d, with a closed water cistern W<1>, which can be filled by a pipe W<2> and emptied by a siphon W<3>. The float 10 is suspended by a cord 11. which is wound round a pulley 11 of a recording - device 17, the cord being counterweighted, and the recording-mechanism recording only the upstrokes of the float 10. To give warning after a certain quantity of heat has been registered, the recording device drives through gearing 20 a cam-disk 23, which is adapted after one revolution to operate a tumbler lever 25 and complete the circuit of an electric bell 41 or an annunciator 43. This device is automatically put out of action when the liquid in the arm 5 drops below the contact 48 as the cistern W<1> is being siphoned. The action of the apparatus is stated to be as follows:-The U-tube and the chamber W<1> being open to the atmosphere, water is turned on or the cistern starts filling, trapping air at its top and over the mercury in the cup 1, which is thus forced up the tube 2 into the U-tube, until the valve 9 closes, and the float 10 is arranged for this position to be just on the point of lifting and thus gives the zero reading, the same amount of air in the chamber 6 and tubes L being always entrapped. When the radiators are turned on, the air in the chambers Va &c. expands and transmits the pressure to the mercury and thus to the water cistern and varies the height in the water-supply pipe and also lifts the float 10, thus actuating the counter 17, which may be graduated to give the price of the heat radiated. As soon as the water reaches the level of the top of the siphon pipe, the cistern W<1> is emptied and the operation starts again. Any number of recording-devices may be connected by pipe D to the water cistern, and water may be used instead of mercury or oil, glycerine, &c., in which case a mercury device, as shown in Fig. 3, is employed to dispense with a long stroke of the float. The float 10 then lifts to a height h<2> which is in the ratio of the specific gravities of the fluid and mercury.
