Title: Improvements in the Automatic Regulation of Furnace Draught.
Inventor: WITHERS JOSEPH SUTTON
Filed: 1911-03-29
Granted: 1911-09-07
Abstract: 7903. Withers, J. S., [American Culm Furnace Co.]. March 29. Air supply and draught, regulating; forced and induced draught systems.-In connexion with a steam boiler special means are provided for regulating the forced draught in accordance with the boiler pressure and for regulating the chimney draught in accordance with the pressure in the combustion chamber, these means, further, being designed to operate in conjunction to provide an automatic balanced draught. Both the damper 87 and the valve 16 supplying steam to the motor of the forced - draught blower are normally maintained fully open by the pressure of air in diaphragm chambers 77, 48 respectively, such air being supplied from a reservoir 19 maintained at uniform pressure by a compressor 18 and reducing-valve 20. In the pipe between the reservoir and each of the diaphragm chambers is inserted a leakagevalve casing. Fig. 4 shows that in connexion with the damper. The small leakagevalve 64 which is normally closed is controlled by a float 71, situated in a water seal 69, one surface of which is exposed to the combustion chamber pressure by means of a pipe 67, and the arrangement is such that, on a pre-' determined increase of the combustion-chamber pressure, the leakage-valve is opened, and the pressure in the diaphragm chamber being consequently reduced, the damper closes more or less. The leakage-valve casing 24 for the valve 16 is similar, but in this case the leakage-valve is opened at a predetermined steam pressure. A diaphragm may be used instead of the liquidseal device shown in Fig. 4.

Abstract: 26,538. McBrair, H. C. Nov. 27. Variable-speed and reversing gearing of the kind having bevel-wheels movable positively upon a driven shaft to the engaged and disengaged positions is operated by a single operating-lever. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 4, a driving-shaft 3 carries fixed pinions 9, 10, 11 adapted to be engaged alternatively by wheels 12, 13, 14, 15, which are slidably secured to a driven member, which may be a sleeve 16 extending from the differential casing 7 of a motor-vehicle. These wheels are operated respectively by rotary members 51, 50, 49, 48, which are provided, as shown in Fig. 7, with cam-grooves 31, 32 adapted to engage lugs projecting from non rotary sleeves on the wheel bosses. The grooves 31, 32 have flat parts 39, 40, for locking the gears, and inclined parts 38, for shifting them. The members 48, 50 are connected by links to a rod 47 in such a way that turning that rod advances one gear while it withdraws the other. The members 49, 51 are in like manner operated simultaneously from a rod 46. Links 43, 42 extending from these rods are operated selectively by a lever working in a "gate" with an H-slot. A casing 4 encloses the gearing. An alternative arrangement is shown in Fig. 10. In this, wheels 108 are moved together transversely, and pinions 106 are movable together endways into mesh. These two operations are effected by a rod with a sliding movement and a turning movement acting through a pair of toggles, which are adapted to hold the gears 108 in proper positions.

Granted: 1913-04-17
Abstract: 17,732. Kopper, H. July 31. [Addition to 30,294/09 and 19,372/11.] Liquid-seal valves.-Comprises two main improvements in the reversing-valves, operating by change of water-level, described in the parent Specifications. According to the first, the tubular arms 114, Fig. 1, of the device controlling the water-levels are made at an acute angle to each other, preferably 60 degrees, with the result that in changing over, the container that is being lowered, for example 112 will first pass through its highest position and thus the water-level does not fall in the full chambers of the valve until the previously empty chambers are full. As a consequence, the overlap of the downwardly and upwardly extending partitions, such as 104, 105, can be considerably reduced and a more compact construction is thus possible. According to the second main improvement, Fig. 6, the air-valve 131<1> and the gas-valve 131 are controlled by a single water-level changing-device, the two valves being placed so that they have a common waste-gas outlet 151. The overflow pipes 121, 122, Fig. 1, by which the water-levels in the containers 112, 113 are determined, are arranged within the annular pipe 114 and discharge through its axis. Or they may be arranged outside the pipe 114 and connect with a common head in alinement with the axis. Air-vent openings 128 are provided.

Granted: 1913-07-17
Abstract: 26,891. Bellens, C. Nov. 23, 1911, [Convention date]. Regulating delivery by by-passes.-In hydraulic transmission gears of the type in which groups of coupled pumps are employed and the variation of speed effected by cutting out one or more of them so as to vary the volume of liquid pumped, (1) reverse running is effected in racing cars by means of one pump only of the series, the other pumps being fitted with by-pass valves only, which are pressed upon their seats by the fluid pressure, so that leakage is only likely to occur in the pump fitted with the reversing-valve when the car is running at high speeds, (2) in the case of touring cars, a similar arrangement is adopted, but the by-pass valves are fitted in such a manner that these valves are pressed upon their seats by the fluid pressure when the pumps are out of action, leakage being thus minimized when the car is going at slow speed as in mounting hills. Figs. 1 and 2 show the first arrangement. The pump shown in Fig. 1 is fitted with a reversing-valve b as well as a by-pass valve a, but the other pumps of the series are fitted with a by-pass valve e only as shown in Fig. 2. During high-speed running the valve b is the only valve at which leakage is liable to occur. In the case of a touring car, the by-pass valves are fitted in the manner shown in Fig. 5 in all the pumps except one, in which the arrangement shown in Fig. 1 is adopted, so that the valves are pressed upon their seats when the by-passes are open during slow running. In the one case, the efficiency is greatest at high speeds, and in the other, at low speeds

IPC: C01C1/08
Filed: 1913-01-09
Granted: 1913-08-14
Abstract: 722. Maule, C. F. Jan. 9. Producers.-In the production of combustible gas and nitrogenous or ammoniacal compounds from nitrogenous fuel in a gas-producer, the temperature in the producer is lowered by introducing together with the air a portion of the cooled combustible gas produced. This gaseous mixture is supplied in a highly moistened state as well as in relatively large quantity, in order to keep the temperature in the producer at 600‹ to 650‹ C. This may be effected by moistening and cooling the gas mixture by adding to it such a quantity of water that its temperature becomes reduced to about 150‹ C. According to a modification, the gas mixture is obtained in a moistened and cooled state by using in the producer a very wet fuel, for instance peat containing 60 per cent of water.
