Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Discharging Ashes, Clinkers or other Refuse.
IPC: B63B17/06
Filed: 1912-02-16
Granted: 1913-02-13
Abstract: 3955. Stone & Co., J., and Parsons, W. S. Feb. 16. [Addition to 19,626/10.] Ashes, discharging.-In apparatus of the kind comprising a combination of reversely-arranged cones or nozzles through which a stream of water is passed and to which the ashes are delivered from a hopper, the means for automaticaly operating the hopper valve comprises a hollow piston or ram which fits loosely in its cylinder and is operated by water from the sea and the nozzle. Beneath the hopper, a hollow plug is situated adapted to regulate both the hopper and the supply of flushing-water. Arrangements are also made to ensure that the discharge valve is fully opened before the water supply to the piston or the flushing-means is opened. In operation, water is supplied by a pump to the pipe a and flows through the nozzle c arcoss the gap 19, through the nozzle e, past the annular opening 17 and through the secondary cone d. The reduction of pressure at the opening 17 causes withdrawal of water from the cylinder 10 through the ducts 15, 16 and reduces the pressure on the large side of the piston 9. The pressure of the sea water admitted by the pipe 12 to the space 11 forces the piston 9 to move towards the left, removing the hopper valve 3 from its seat. The discharge of the ashes does not take place until the valve 3 is fully open and its opposite side 18 has closed the ends of the cylinder 10, whereupon sea water passes from the connexions 12 through the annular space 11 and by way of the ports 23 to the space between the flushing- valve 21 and the piston 20. The upper end of the piston 20 is relieved of pressure by the reduction of pressure in the pipe 16, permitting the piston 20 to open the valve 21 and admit flushing-water through the ports r to the jets l. Should the pump supplying water to the nozzles be stopped, the sea water admitted by the connexion 12 moves the piston back to close the hopper k. Bilge water is discharged by means of a non-return valve fitted in the pipe connexion 43. The ashes are supplied to the hopper h through a selective grating g arranged in the hopper h beneath the stokehold floor. The bars of the grid are so arranged that the openings j are of such size as to prevent articles of unsuitable cross-section from entering and are of such a depth that their lower edges are parallel to the. hopper bottom, preventing any article of unsuitable length from passing into the hopper h. Bolts, firebars, &c. are thus prevented from choking the discharge outlet. The sluice valve at the outer end of the discharge pipe is geared to the valve by which the sea water is admitted to the pump for the nozzles, ensuring simultaneous opening.

Title: Improvements in or connected with Means for Preventing the Refilling of Bottles or the like.
Inventor: CHEESMAN TALBOT
IPC: B65D49/06
Filed: 1912-02-22
Granted: 1912-06-27
Abstract: 4522. Cheesman, T., and Gordon, L. Feb. 22. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Bottles, non-refillable.-A spherical weight h, Fig. 2, operates between two opposed surfaces d<1>, h<1>, which are such that the normals at their point of contact with the weight are collinear. This prevents the valve from being inserted in any but nearly inverted positions. In one example, Fig. 2, one surface is on the valve itself which may be spherical. In a modification, Fig. 5, a movable shell m with guide-pieces o is provided between the weight and the valve. In both cases the mechanism is carried in a casing e which has inlet and outlet orifices g below the valve seating.

Granted: 1913-06-06
Abstract: 13,374. British Thomson-Houston Co., [General Electric Co.]. June 6. Filtering.-In a vacuum cleaner, the dust-bag 45 is clamped between flanges 3, 8 on the dustpan and on the lower edge of the shell B and is folded into concentric plaits 46, the lower edges of which are secured to a disk of wire netting 47.

In a modification, concentric rings are attached to the lower edges of the plaits and are held in position by radial straps of elastic. The dust-pan is readily detached by turning up the clamping- levers 11 and releasing the links 10 from engagement with lugs 4.

Title: Process for Separating Colloidal and Finely Sub-divided Substances.
Inventor: SCHWERIN GRAF BOTHO
Filed: 1912-06-19
Granted: 1913-01-23
Abstract: 14,369. Schwerin, Graf B. June 19, 1911, [Convention date]. Electric endosmose.-Colloidal, soluble, or finely subdivided substances are separated from matter serving as a carrier by electric endosmose. Clay may thus be freed from colloidal ferric hydrate, colloidal gold or platinum removed from carborundum, Prussian blue separated from clay, and toxins or other substances separated from anti-toxins or other albuminoids. Substances may be collected separately on diaphragms of different porosities. Diaphragms, if used, must be either indifferent or of the same polarity as the adjacent electrode. Two diaphragms may be placed so as to enclose a space in which a substance can collect without being exposed to decomposition by electrolytic products. Substances may collect in successive layers on one electrode. The containing vessel may form an electrode.

Granted: 1912-10-24
Abstract: 15,042. Steinm³ller, L. June 27. Superheating by steam.-In steam-generators with two or more boiler elements, a heat-interchanger for drying the steam by means of superheated steam, such as that described in Specification 20,466/11, is placed between the hotter and less hot elements. In the form shown, the steam from the tubes d<1> and drum d, which are directly exposed to the furnace, passes through the interchanger h. The steam entrains a considerable quantity of water and is dried in the interchanger h by steam that has passed through the superheater g. It then meets with the steam from the drum e and passes through the superheater g. By means of a three - way cock q, the steam from the interchanger h can be directed wholly or partly into the drum e before passing to the superheater g.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the Ammunition Ramming Apparatus of Ordnance.
Inventor: DAWSON ARTHUR TREVOR
IPC: F41A9/42
Filed: 1912-06-27
Granted: 1913-06-19
Abstract: 15,045. Dawson, Sir A. T., and Horne, J. June 27. Loading - appliances.- Relates to rammers of the kind that are automatically returned to the withdrawn position after each, long or short, ramming-stroke. According to t h e invention, the reversing-contrivance, which, in the example illustrated, is of the kmd described in Specification 15,033/12, is set to effect the reversal on the completion of the projectileramming stroke by a movable stop-device carried partly by the gun-loading cage. The stop-device is displaced when the rammer is withdrawn, and causes or permits the reversing-contrivance to assume the position for reversing the rammer at the end of the powder-charge ramming-stroke. The reversing-contrivance (not shown in Fig. 3) is controlled with lost motion by a lever D<Î>, which is moved into the position shown, against the tension of its spring d<ÎÎ>, by a projection h on the projectile-buffer H of the hoist-cage when the cage ascends. The reversing-contrivauce is thus positioned for reversing the rammer at the end of the projectile-ramming stroke. When the projectile P is rammed, the buffer H releases the lever D<Î>, which however is then supported by a projection h<2> on the usual bolt H<2> that locks the cage to the loading-arm A. The return of the rammer-head A<1> houses the bolt H<2> again, and the lever D <Î> is free to be depressed by its spring, so that the reversing-contrivance assumes the position for reversing at the end of the powder-charge ramming-stroke.

The guard n is pivoted in the frame, and has hooks r pressed into engagement with the blade and holding it in the shaving position by means such as a spring p pressing on a tail-piece o of the guard, one roller l or suitable stops preventing rotation of the carrier, Fig. 3. A cam on one plate d in conjunction with a spring may be provided to hold the carrier and blade in position for engagement with the guard, and stops or guides may be formed on the guard to guide the blade to the hooks r. The guard can be turned down to allow the blade to swing through the frame. The razor may be adapted to fold, as shown in Fig. 8, the parts being held in the folded position by means such as the spring p acting on the guard; or the guard may be constructed as shown in dotted lines and adapted to engage the pinion i.
