Patent GB-190919383-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Automatic Regulators for Acetylene Gas Generators.
Inventor: WAKEFIELD CHARLES CHEERS
IPC: C10H5/00
Filed: 1909-08-23
Granted: 1910-09-23
Abstract: 19,383. Wakefield, C. C. Aug. 23. Fluids, regulating volume of flow or pressure of. - Relates to a pressure-regulator for acetylene generators, of the diving-bell type, the regulator being of the type comprising a small bell receiving gas from the generator and delivering to a large bell, the bells being watersealed and connected so that as the large bell descends the small bell rises and permits an increased flow of gas from the small bell. The regulator comprises a tank A providing a waterseal for both a large annular bell G and a small bell F', the bells being connected by cords J so that as the large bell rises the small bell falls, and vice versa. Gas from the generator passes by pipes B, C to the small bell F<1>, and bubbles through perforations in a plate F<2> to a jacket bell F moving with the bell F' and from thence to the burners by pipes D, D<5>, and L<1>. Excess gas passes by a pipe E to the bell G, which then rises, causing the small bell F<1> to descend and increase the depth of immersion, thereby restricting the flow. The pulleys I<2> supporting the bell F may comprise large and small pulleys fixed together, giving a multiplied movement to the small bell.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Totalizing and Indicating the Number of Tickets or the like Delivered by Separate Ticket Boxes or the like.
Inventor: KIPARSKI ALEXANDER
Filed: 1910-11-04
Granted: 1911-04-27
Abstract: 25,675. Kiparski, A. Nov. 4. Tickets, issuing; registering number of.-In apparatus for flat tickets, in which the descent of a ticket completes a circuit, thus allowing registration by a continuously rotating shaft, the tickets are contained in a casing (not shown) and in their descent move forward a lever 8, pivoted at 9, to close contacts 10, 11 and complete a circuit E, 9, 10, 11, 13, C, 14 which energizes a magnet 12, the circuit including the plate C attached to a bell-crank 20, 21 and the fixed contacts 13, 14. The armature 16<a> of the magnet is carried by a lever 16 provided with a finger L which is obtruded into the casing to prevent the withdrawal of further tickets. The magnet further attracts an armature 17 on the lever 8 and so ensures that the contacts 10, 11 are kept closed. The contact of the parts 15, 16<a> closes a circuit E, 15<a>, 15, 16<a>, 18, 19 through a second magnet 19 which draws a lever 25 into the path of a projection 26 carried by a continuously revolving cylinder B. The contact of these two parts completes the circuit E, 22<a>, 22, 21<a>, 25, 26, 27, 28, and actuates an electric counter A. Further rotation of the drum forces over the lever 21 to break the circuit of the magnet 12 at 14, C, 13 and allow the parts 16, 8 to return to their normal positions. The drum B carries a series of contacts, helically arranged, corresponding to the number of ticket compartments. Alternatively, rods rising and falling against stationary scales may replace the indicator A. The tickets are provided with notches in which fingers L engage.

Time alarms.-Whistle or other signals for attracting the attention of stokers at the times when a ship's furnaces require firing are controlled from an engine-room apparatus which is rotated by gearing from the main engine or propeller shaft. The supply of fuel is thus regulated in accordance with the speed. The controller, shown in Figs. 1 and 3, comprises a rotary disk A with peripheral groups of slits a<1>, a<2>, a<3>, a<4>, corresponding to four furnaces which are to be fired in rotation, co-operating with spring-pressed valve-blocks D, D' in a conduit C, C<1> leading from a compressed-air supply to the stoke-hole whistles. The disk A is rotated through reducing-gear I<1>, F<2>, certain of the pinions being mounted on a swing-out lever K to enable the device to be disconnected. The shaft of the wheel F<2> carries a splined friction-wheel F, which drives the disk A. A co-axial screwed shaft N, rotatable by a handle N<1>, engages a nut on the sliding frame P of the wheel F, so that the rate of drive can be manually adjusted by shifting the wheel F radially on the disk A.

The sighting telescope C is rocked upon an axis g<2> by an arm G, a slot g' in which is engaged by a pin a<7> on an hydraulic cylinder A, slidably mounted in guides F. The cylinder moves upon a. fixed piston B, through which pass ducts b2, b3 leading respectively from ports e<13>, e<14>, in a valve casing e<1>, to the ends a<5>, a<6> of the cylinder A.

Granted: 1912-07-05
Abstract: 28,378. Marks, E. C. R., [Toledo Computing Scale Co.]. July 5. Vulcanizing tyres &c. - Vulcanizers for repairing tyres and tubes consist of a heat-conducting member or plate 50, Fig. 10, upon which the material for a patch is placed, and an absorbent secondary member 49, preferably made of heat-insulating material, surrounding the first member, and adapted to be saturated with water so as to confine the heat to the desired parts of the tyre &c. The tyre &c. is clamped against the member 50 by means described in Specification 15,650/11, and the member 50 is provided with a rim 52. This heating- pad is placed upon the heating-plate 17 of a vulcanizer, Figs. 1, 9, or 14, made of two telescoping parts, namely, a base and an upper portion C. The base carries the heating-apparatus, one form of which is shown in Fig. 4, in which a predetermined quantity of fuel may be supplied to the burner 13 through a pipe 6, vaporizing-tube 9, and valve 11. In the form shown in Fig. 14, the well D is used as the fuel-reservoir, being filled with an absorbent material soaked in fuel. The depending walls 16 of the top C telescoping with the walls of the base form a combustion chamber D, the walls 16 being provided with vent-holes 18 and with a marginal overhang 19 to deflect the hot gases away from the tyre &c. Along each side of the heating-plate 17 is a recess 20, and depending from the lower side of the plate is a water-reservoir E having a restricted opening 22 leading into one of the side recesses 20, while the opposite recess is connected to the reservoir by means of a duct 23. The absorbent pad is kept moist by the vapour generated in the reservoir E. The reservoir E, in conjunction with a winged nut 26, also serves for clamping the upper and lower portions at various distances apart. When the reservoir is dispensed with, a similarly-shaped projecting-piece is employed for the purpose of clamping, and the pad 49 is kept moist by soaking with water. Evaporators 60, Fig. 9, may be used alternatively with the reservoir E.
