Title: Improvements in or relating to boilers with superheaters
IPC: F22G7/06
Filed: 1923-01-10
Abstract: 210,263. Clark, G. M., (Superheater Co.). Jan. 10, 1923. Overheating of superheating tubes, preventing. -For the purpose of maintaining a flow of steam through the superheater at all times, the steam space of the boiler is divided into two parts of unequal steaming capacity and connected with each other and the superheater, suitable controlling means being included. The steam space is divided by a partition 18 into two parts 19, 20 which are connected by a pipe 21. When steam is used by the engine, wet steam passes from both spaces 19, 20 to the dome 6 thence by pipe 7 to the inlet chamber of the superheater header 8 flows through the looped tubes 13 back to the delivery chamber of the header 8, and thence past the open throttle 14 to the engine; the valve 22 is thereby closed, and cuts out a branch pipe 23. When the throttle 14 is closed, the valve 22 is moved to open up the pipe 23 to the steam space 19 and shut off communication through the pipe 21 between the steam spaces 19, 20. Steam is generated in the space above the furnace 1 faster and at a higher pressure than in the other space 20, consequently the flow is now from the space 19 through the pipe 23 to the normal delivery chamber, passes in reverse direction through the tubes 13 and out through the normal inlet chamber and pipe 7 back to the space 20. A safety valve 24 is fitted to the boiler at the steam drum. In place of the external connecting pipe 21 an opening may be provided in the partition 18 which can be closed by a plate when the throttle is closed and the valve on the pipe 23 is open. Such closing means may be linked for joint actuation with the throttle control. In water-tube boilers with top transverse steam drum, the drum is divided by a partition parallel to its axis, and the two steam spaces so formed are coupled to each other and to the superheater as described above.

Abstract: 509,150. Sewing-machines. KESSLER, P. P. Jan. 11, 1938, No. 916. [Class 112] In a sewing-machine having feed rollers operated step by step, the rollers may be actuated alternatively by a ratchet clutch, providing a number of predetermined rates of feed, and a friction clutch, permitting adjustment of the feed to any value. The sewing machine shown in Fig. 5, is of the blind-stitch type having a curved needle 56, looper 55 and feed-plate 49 carried by the upper part 12 of the frame and feed rollers 25 carried by the base 11 to hold the work against the plate 49 ; a centre guide 26, against which the edges of two pieces of work to be connected are bent up, projects between the two feed rollers 25, and a work-supporting table 64, to which an auxiliary work-support may be attached, is provided. The upper part 12 of the frame, carrying the operating shaft 52, is hinged at 13 to the lower part 11 to allow limited lifting of the machine head by a pedal-operated crank 19 engaging an arm 20 adjustably secured to the part 12. feed rollers 25, Fig. 2, are driven by a shaft 42 carrying a ratchet clutch element 35 and a roller clutch element 23, and are connected by universal joints 28 and supported by resilient mountings 82, as shown, so that they can accommodate different thicknesses of material. The ratchet clutch element 35 is actuated by a pitman 34, lever 33 and eccentric rod 67 from the shaft 52, the stroke of the pitman 34 being adjustable by means of a bolt and slot connection between the members 67, 33 ; the ratchet clutch is put out of action by a cam lever 90, which moves the pitman 34 clear of the ratchet against a spring 91<1>. The roller clutch element 23 is actuated by an arm adjustably pivoted to a link 88 which has a bolt and slot connection with an arm 87 on a shaft 91 oscillated from the shaft 52 by an eccentric rod 48 and arm 41; the stroke of the link 88 is varied by shifting its connection with the arm 87, and may be reduced to zero by this means so that the clutch is ineffective.

Abstract: 940,229. Drying webs. SPOONER DRYER & ENGINEERING CO. Ltd. Feb. 12, 1962 [Jan. 10, 1961], No. 950/61. Heading F4G. [Also in Division D1] Sheet material 10 (e.g. paper, plastic films or textiles) in continuous lengths is dried by streams of hot gas impinging on both sides of the material. As shown in Figs. 1 and 2 the material 10 is fed between apertures 15 in opposed pressure chambers 11, 12, hot air emitted from the apertures forming jets to dry and support the material. Facings 35 (Fig. 2) are provided between the rows of apertures 15, the profile of the facings being such that the cross-section A between the material 10 and facing 35 is given by A=const. x<SP>3</SP>/<SP>2</SP>, where x is distance measured from the centre of the material. Such a facing results in the static pressure of air flowing from the centre of the material remaining constant across the width of the material so reducing fluttering thereof. As shown, the air is pumped into the chambers 11 and 12 from supply chambers 16, 17 by rotary fans 18, 19, the air being subsequently caught in an outer cover 22 and returned to the chambers 16, 17 through heaters 23, 24, a closed circuit for the air thus being formed. Some of the gas is exhausted at 13 and fresh gas injected at 30 and 31 so that the gas in the apparatus does not become saturated. In an alternative form the apertures 15 are in raised portions level with the uppermost surfaces of the facings 35 (Fig. 5, not shown). In a further form in which the facings 35 are V-shaped to give a cross-section A which varies in direct proportion to x, the nozzles 15 are arranged or shaped so that the volumetric rate of flow Q through a cross-section A satisfies the equation Q= const. x<SP>z</SP>/<SP>3</SP>, this arrangement giving the same result as the curved facings and even gas application described above.
