Abstract: 24,448. Havers, E. W., and Telephos Domestic and Street Lighting Co. Nov. 3. Lighting burners by electric devices.-In apparatus for electrically igniting gas in which the incandescent filament is protected from the flame, the protecting-means comprises a metal guard tube g which forms a continuation of the porcelain base c of the filament a, and in combination with an outer tube i forms an annular burner. The outer end of the tube g is provided with radially-projecting members h which deflect the gas so that it can be ignited by the filament a. The electric connexions f for the filament a pass through holes in a metal plug e, which is also provided with an opening n for the gas-supply pipe. The tube i is mounted on the plug e and secured by screws m k, which may also secure the gas-supply fitting. A screw s is provided to regulate the flow of the gas, and a guard hx may be provided. In the modified construction shown in Fig. 5, the tubes g i are mounted eccentrically and provided with notches q. The flange d of the plug c, Fig. 2, may be extended to fit the tube i in one direction, and in this construction an oblong guard gx, Fig. 8, with or without cross-members hx, is substituted for the tube g, and the tube i has notches q. In another modification, grooves are provided in the sides of the opening n by which air is induced into the space o and the hurner converted into one of the Bunsen type, or the gas-supply pipe may be smaller in diameter than the opening n.

Abstract: 25,662. Curtis, C. G. Nov. 19, 1910, [Convention date]. Axial-flow type; balancing moving parts. - A marine turbine is provided with reversed drum stages so that the resultant end - thrust balances the propeller thrust. For forward driving, steam passes successively through impulse stages 9, 10, the shaft being reduced on the right-hand side of the former, whereby a left-hand thrust is obtained, and afterwards passes through pipes 30 external to the casing to the left-hand side of a drum stage 26, which it traverses from left to right. The action of the steam on this stage produces a right-hand thrust. The steam then passes into an annular chamber 32, whence it is led through pipes 33 to a second drum stage 35, which it traverses from right to left and passes thence to the exhaust 38. The action of the steam on this stage produces a left-hand thrust. The various stages are so designed that the resultant endthrust balances the propeller thrust. For reverse running, wheel stages 41, 42 and a drum stage 46 are provided. Inspecting internal parts.-To facilitate the removal and repair of the diaphragm packing, man-holes 20, 22, 44 are provided, and holes 21, 23 are provided in the running wheels. The spaces 24, 28 can be entered by removing one of the pipes 30.

Granted: 1913-02-17
Abstract: 4043. Thornton, J. E. Feb. 17. Chromo-gelatine and like processes; kinematograph picture films.-In producing kinematograph picture films without using silver salts and in which the pictures are in black or coloured pigment, the films are produced by the bichromate process in a colloid that is soluble in cold water and are subsequently perforated in such a manner that perforations can be adjusted to each picture to compensate for any variation in shrinkage in the film. Printing. developing, and perforating apparatus such as described in Specifications 26,997/11, 3384/12, 12,230/12, and 14,433/12 are used in making the films. The film base of celluloid, cellulose acetate, or gelatine is first coated with a thin gelatine substratum and then with a colloid which is soluble in cold water, and with which is combined a bichromate sensitizing-solution and a black or coloured pigment. Alternatively, the bichromate sensitizer may be first applied to the substratumed film, and then a pigmented colloid. or a pigmented colloid coating, is applied and subsequently sensitized. In printing, the films are exposed over a considerable length to a light of high illuminating but of low heating power, such as mercury-vapour tubes. Development is effected by means of a water bath, or by soft brushes, or pads rotating in water and in contact with the film, or by a water spray to which compressed air is added. The image is then cleared, hardened by an alum bath, dried, and subsequently perforated as above described.

Abstract: 1187. Westinghouse, G. March 19, 1912, [Convention date]. Regulating.-Steam is admitted through a main admission valve 54, Fig. 1, to a segmental chamber 8, whence it passes into the interior of a channel-shaped slide valve 12, Figs. 1 and 2. open to the chamber 8. The valve 12 is provided with ports 20, 21, 22 which co-operate with ports 23 ... 28 leading to chambers 29 ... 34, each of which contains a number of nozzles 35. The ports 20, 21, 22 are so positioned that, as the valve 12 slides from right to left, the ports 23 ... 28 are opened in succession. To render the valve 12 flexible, the intermediate partitions 36, 37, Fig. 2, therein are made with transverse holes 38, 39, and saw-cuts 40 are made. The valve 12 is held up to the ports by spring-pressed cylindrical blocks 44, Figs. 2 and 4. Each'block is formed with a pressure chamber 46 in communication with a passage 53 leading to one of the nozzle chambers 29, 31, 33. When, therefore, one of the ports 20, 21, 22 registers with the port of a nozzle chamber, additional pressure is applied to hold the valve up to its seat. The valve 12 is fitted with a rack engaging a worm 69 on the piston-rod 67 of a servomotor 63. On assembling, the valve is adjusted by rotating the rod 67. Subsequent rotation is prevented by the engagement of a key 72 with a saw-cut in the worm.

Granted: 1913-11-27
Abstract: 11,683. Hunt, W., [Ashford, J.]. May 20. Siphons.-The flow of water through a siphon is regulated by the admission of air to the crown, or conjointly also to the descending leg of the siphon. A float C, Fig. 1, resting on the surface of the discharged water, is connected to an air valve D1 by means of a system of levers C1, C2, C3, D, so that, when the water level A1 rises, air is admitted to the crown of the siphon in quantity sufficient to regulate the flow, but not to break the siphonic action. A series of siphons, Fig. 2, may be used. the crowns and descending legs being connected by pipes D2 and valves D1. If these valves are closed, the flow in the siphon B exhausts the air from the crowns of the other siphons. The air valves may be controlled by floats on both levels A, Al, or by spring-controlled pistons working in cylinders and actuated by the pressure of the water. Alternatively, the. air valves may be operated by hand.

Abstract: 11,847. Wattmann, J., and Tudor Accumulator Co. May 21. Rail joints, welded.-In welding rail joints by the aid of fish-plates, sole-plates, or both, the requisite pressure for counterbalancing stresses due to action of car wheels &c. is obtained at the head of the rails by applying mechanical pressure to the joint before completing the welding. In the form shown in Figs. 1 and 2 the centres of the fish-plates b are first welded by a piece d to the rail feet at the joint, and after cooling wedges are then inserted at c to press the heads of the rails together and the ends of the fish-plates are then secured in position by welding to the rails at f, after which the wedges are removed. In the form shown in Fig. 4, the ends of the fish-plates are first welded to the rail feet and the wedges c' then forced in and welded to the fish-plates and rail feet. Welding may also be performed at the top of the fish-plates. In Fig. 6, the rails are first welded to the centre of the sole-plate and pressure then applied by wedges l, which are subsequently welded to the sole-plate and rail feet. The pressure may be applied by a screw m, Fig. 7, after welding the sole-plate at b to the rails, and final welding takes place at q. A pair of screws, one acting in each rail, may be used in the form in which the lower end of a frame such as shown in Fig. 7 abuts against the centre of the sole-plate.
