Title: Improvements in Reversible Regenerative Gas Furnaces.
Inventor: REYNOLDS ALLEYNE
IPC: F28D17/00
Filed: 1911-07-11
Granted: 1912-10-11
Abstract: 16,041. Reynolds, A. July 11. [Cognate Application, 20,144/11.] Regenerators. -- In a gas-fired reversible regenerative furnace, in addition to the usual pairs of air and gas regenerator chambers, auxiliary air regenerators of large capacity are provided, adapted to be traversed by the waste gases from the ordinary regenerator chambers, which a r e drawn through these chambers by means of a suction fan or the like. The ordinary gas regenerators 1, 1<a> are connected through flues 5, 5<a> with a reversing- valve 3, Fig. 3, the seating of which is indicated at 3<a> in Fig. 2, and the ordinary air regenerators 2, 2<a> are connected through flues 4, 4<a> with a reversing - valve 6 indicated at 6<a> in Fig. 2. The bottom outlets of these valves are connected through a short flue 7. Flues 9, 9<a> lead to the auxiliary flues and regenerators 10, 11, 12, 13 and 10<a>, 11<a>, 12<a>, 13a. A reversing- valve 14 is arranged between the tops of the chambers 13, and a fan 15 forces air through the auxiliary regenerators 13, 12, 10 and a valve 6 and flue 4 to the ordinary regenerator 2, while a fan 16 draws waste gases from the regenerators 1<a>, 2<a> through the flues 5<a>, 4<a> respectively, and auxiliary regenerators 10<a>, 12<a>, 13<a>. Gas passes to the regenerator 1 by way of flues 18, 19, the valve 3, and the flue 5a. The flues 9, 9<a> are connected by a flue 21, in which gas supplied by a pipe 22 is burnt, the flame being drawn by the suction of the fan into the flue 9 or 9<a> for the purpose of igniting any gas that may leak through the valves 3, 6. As an alternative, gas jets may be provided in the flues connecting the valves 3, 6. Branch flues 24, 24<a>, which may communicate through a valve 25, are provided to admit air from one of the flues 9, 9<a> to the other when it is desired to work the furnace with an insufficient supply of air. The air thus admitted to the auxiliary regenerators serves to effect complete combustion of any combustible constituents in the waste gases. The regenerators 10, 10<a>, 12, 12<a> may be formed by building a few courses of narrow fire-brick walls 26, Fig. 4, above each of which a course of fire-brick 27 is placed. A similar regenerator may be formed of iron plates 28 which, as shown in Fig. 4, are supported on cross girders 29, 30.

Abstract: 19,763. G³ell y Bacigulupi, E. Sept. 5. Pile fabrics.-In weaving velvets, velveteens, &c. in double cloth, a pile warp 9, Figs. 1 and 2, is used to produce ribs or squares of pile on the top and bottom cloths and, in addition, a loop warp 10, Fig. 2, or two loop warps 8, Fig. 1, are used to produce loops of varying lengths which give different designs on some or all of the exposed portions of the foundation cloths. When one loop warp 10 is used, it produces loops first on the top cloth and then on the bottom cloth, and, after the ordinary pile has been cut, tufts of the loop warp are produced at 11. Where two loop warps are used, they may form long loops which give a braid effect on each cloth as shown in Fig. 1, or they may interchange from one cloth to the other, so that tufts of loop warp may be obtained. The loop warp is restricted to the longitudinal widths between the ribs or squares of ordinary pile.
