Title: Improvements in Steam Boilers.
Inventor: MILLS CLAUDE KENNEDY
Filed: 1904-01-12
Granted: 1904-12-08
Abstract: 836. Mills, C. K., [Curtis, C. G.]. Jan. 12. Water-tube boilers.-The boiler shown in Fig. 3 is built up in sections, each of which is composed of horizontal headers 13, 14, with inclined generating-tubes 15 connecting them. These tubes are of small diameter and are arranged comparatively close together, thereby obviating the necessity of baffles for the furnace gases. The several sections are placed one above the other, and are connected at the front and rear with an upper drum 20 by pipes 23, 24 respectively ; the pipe 23 is common to all the sections and is preferably of diminishing diameter towards the lower end. Access is had to the outsides of the tubes for cleaning through doors 33 between the front ends of the sections, and to the insides through doors 16 in the headers. These latter doors extend the entire width of the headers, and are secured in position by bridges and bolts. Each header may, however, have two oblong openings provided with covers, leaving a space at the centre for forming or fitting the connection 31, Fig. 9, with the pipe leading to the drum 20 ; the space between the two groups of tubes thus formed in each section is filled in with firebrick 32, Fig. 7. The sides of the boiler are composed of rectangular water tubes 25, inclined upwardly from front to back and connected at the ends to stand pipes, which terminate in the drum 20 ; or the pipes on one side may terminate in the drum of the adjacent boiler. The end walls below the headers are also built up of water tubes 27, leaving openings for firing. The grate 26, in the arrangement shown, extends the whole length of the boiler and may be fired at either end. To confine the furnace gases to the small spaces between the generating-tubes, the larger spaces between the sections and the side walls 25 are closed by firebricks 29 and sheet iron 30, as shown in Fig. 2. The headers, which are of wrought steel, may be formed of tubes crushed into rectangular shape. Instead of being in one piece, each header can be built up of two or more separate headers placed end to end and having separate water connections with the circulation.

Patent GB-190408655-A (GB)
Title: Steam Steering or like Engines.
Inventor: KELLY ALEXANDER
Filed: 1904-04-15
Granted: 1904-07-14
Abstract: 8655. Kelly, A., and Hansen, C. D. B. April 15. Steering-gear.-Comprises means for preventing waste of steam, when running or at rest, in steering-engines fitted, preferably, with D-slide valves having considerable lap. The application to a double-cylinder vertical engine having the ordinary link-motion is described. The small slide valve 8, operated from the crank shaft E by the worm, screw, and other gearing shown, controls pistons 10, 11, which are always under steam pressure at their lower ends and are titted with large rods 13, 14 linked to the bar 15, which in turn is connected to the link-motion H and to the spindle of the valve 22. When the parts are in the position shown in Fig. 4, the steering-engine can run until the lever 6 places the valve 8 central, when the piston 10, which is then open to exhaust, rises and the link-motion is central and the valve 22 closed. If the valve 8 is depressed by the controlling-gear, steam is admitted to the top of the piston 11 while still exhausting from the top of the piston 10, and the link-motion and valve 22 are operated to reverse the steering- engine, which is again stopped in the manner described. When applied to reverse the usual controlling-valve of steering-engines, the rod 15 is connected to the valve-spindle. High-pressure cylinders may be fitted above the cylinders A. Reference is made to Specification No. 15,558, A D. 1903.

Title: Improvements in Candy Coating Machines.
Inventor: MARKS GEORGE CROYDON
Filed: 1905-02-07
Granted: 1906-02-01
Abstract: 2479. Marks, G. C., [Confectioners Improved Machinery Co.]. Feb. 7. Confectionery.-A machine for coating candies comprises feeding, coating, and delivery devices. The mechanism for feeding the cores consists of a tray 11, which tilts intermittently on the shaft 13, an intermittent conveyer 19 with longitadinal, stationary partitions 37 arranged above it, and an intermittentlyrotating drum 39, having a number of rows of pockets 40. The coating- device consists of a steam-jacketed tank 41 with a number of vertical partitions 42 forming channels corresponding to the pockets 40. Each core as it falls into a channel is seized by fingers 48, mounted on the rotating arms 45, and is drawn through the liquid. It is then transferred by means of heated oscillating holders 49, 57 on to a card supported on an intermittent conveyer 70. A cam-actuated pusher 58 ensures the transference of the core from the fork 49 to the ring 57. The transferring-devices are heated by means of steam-pipes 90, 91, 92.
Patent GB-190507169-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Yarn-beaming Machines.
Inventor: SEELEY ALFRED
Filed: 1905-04-05
Granted: 1906-02-01
Abstract: 7169. Seeley, A. April 5. Brakes.-In a yarn-beaming machine, the lever v, Fig. 4, bearing the treadle w, used for stopping the machine, carries a pin 15 entering a slot 14 of a pivoted pawl or catch 12, which is adapted to be moved into or out of engagement with ratchet teeth 11 on a brake ring 6. The latter is formed in segments bolted together and separated by indiarubber springs, and the nuts used may be provided with holes, corresponding slots being formed in the segments of the rings, so that the bolts 8 may be prevented from turning. The brake drum 5 is flanged to receive the brake ring 6, which is faced on the inner surface with leather or the like 10. When the revolution of the ring 6 is stopped by the pawl 12, there is a powerful brake effect on the drum sufficient to stop it almost immediately. Another part of the invention relates to means for releasing the band brake 2, Fig. 2, of a beaming- machine by moving the same treadle w as is employed to put the machine in action. The rod a, Figs. 1 and 2, connected to the lever q, which operates the driving-clutch as usual, is provided with two notches c, b, and an inclined cam part d is used or the recess c is suitably shaped. When the rod a is knocked off the catch e by the movement of the lever P, it falls suddenly, and the notch c misses the projection or catch e, so that the rod falls sufficiently low to put the driving-clutch out of gear and also to actuate the band brake 2. By a gentle depression of the treadle w, the rod may be raised until the notch c comes on to the catch e, in which position the brake is released, but the driving-clutch is still out of gear and the beam may be turned back to piece broken ends. In a modification, the rod a, Fig. 2, has one recess b only, but carries two pins k, l, between which projects the arm j of a weighted lever f, pivoted on a stud on the side framing i. When the rod a is cautiously raised by the treadle w, a notch o on the rod a is brought into engagement with the angle or catch n on the lever f, the rod a being held in such a position that the driving-clutch is out of gear and the brake released. When the rod a is raised higher, the pin l, acting on the arm pushes over the weighted lever f, until the arm j, comes into contact with the pin k. The rod a is then held by the catch e, the driving-clutch being in gear. When the rod a is suddenly released from the catch e, the notch o is carried out of reach of the angle or catch n before the pin k acts on the arm and turns over the lever f. The lever P may be actuated by hand or automatically on breakage of a warp.

Title: Improvements in Valves for Pneumatic Tyres, Pumps, and the like.
Inventor: NIELSEN CARL
Filed: 1905-06-06
Granted: 1906-02-22
Abstract: 11,820. Nielsen, C. June 6. Check valves for pneumatic tyres, pumps, and, the like consist of a spring-controlled polygonal caoutchouc block working in a cylindrical chamber on a raised annular seat. One form of the valve is shown in Fig. 1. d is a rectangular block, forming the valve proper, c the raised seat, f the controlling-spring, and p a pin attached to the block for deflating the valve when required. In a modification, the chamber is provided with a seat at each end so that by changing the positions of the spring and block the action of the valve may be reversed. The edges of the block normally touch the walls of the chamber, but when the block is subjected to longitudinal pressure it has a tendency to expand laterally and thus grip the walls of the chamber. The dimensions of the various parts are preferably arranged so that the area of the passages round the block is equal to the area of the entrance channel

Title: Improvements in Match Making Machines
Inventor: CZERWENY FRANZ
Filed: 1905-10-23
Granted: 1906-09-06
Abstract: 21,555. Czerweny, F. Oct. 23. Matches, making. An apparatus in which finished matches are assembled in collectors before being packed into boxes, as described in Specification No. 10,150, A.D. 1902, is provided with means for enabling a full collector to be removed and replaced by an empty one without stopping the machine. In one arrangement, Fig. 1, a slide 3 is adapted to be moved forward by hand or automatically when a collector 1 is full. The bottom 5 of the collector is attached to a bar 4 lowered after the ejection of each batch of matches, and carries a hooked rod 6 which releases a detent 7 and allows the slide 3 to be drawn forward by springs when the collector is full. The slide then forms the bottom of an upper collector 2, and is withdrawn by a handle 8 or automatically by an inclined piece 3<x> when a fresh collector is in place. The collectors may be filled from a belt with vertical projections 14, Fig. 4, to divide the matches into groups, and co-operating with a pusher device. A guide-plate 21 may be provided at one end of the belt for retaining the matches in place until they are above a collector ; in this case the slide 3 has a vertical wall opposite the guide-plate. In another arrangement, Fig. 5, empty collectors are set up in a magazine 23 and are pressed forward as by a weight 24 to slip on top of the one which is being filled when this one is lowered sufficiently. The lowering may be effected by a slow-threaded screw 27 working in a slot 28 which reaches a quick-threaded part of the screw when the collector is full. This causes the collector to drop quickly on to a carrier, and an empty one to take its place. In another arrangement, collectors in several sets are filled alternately, giving time for the removal of filled ones.
