Granted: 1912-09-19
Abstract: 3295. Mills, C. K., [White Light Co.]. Feb. 9. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Liquid raised up to solid.-An acetylene and like gas generator consists of a tank 3 with a gas-washing chamber 4 below, a holder 11 for supporting cakes of carbide &c., a gas bell 8 having a contracted part enclosing the cakes and a lower enlarged part 9, and a pipe 7 extending upwards into the bell, the lower end dipping in water in the washing-chamber. The cakes are held tightly in the holder 11 so that the parts do not fall if the cakes disintegrate and by making the contracted part of the gasbell of substantially the same diameter as the holder, there is but little space for the splashing or surging of the water. The cakes are shaped to accommodate the pipe 7, which acts as a guide for them. Gas passes away through a pipe 21 with a branch 23 to a vessel 25, which acts as a safety-valve for relief of excess pressure. A cock 22 allows gas at starting to pass directly to the pine 24.

Evaporators and condensers in structural combination; water, distilling; progressive evaporators; surface condensers. - An apparatus for fractionally distilling liquids, particularly applicable to water containing ammonia and volatile organic compounds, consists of an evaporator, a spray-arrester, and a condenser. The evaporator consists of an open vessel A, Fig. 1, in which stands a chamber M open at the bottom. Hot water from the condenser jacket is led by a pipe T to the annulus between the vessels A, M, and there undergoes a preliminary evaporation for the removal of impurities. In fractionation, the annulus is closed so that the vapours generated therein may be led to a condenser. The spray-arrester consists of a cylinder U surmounted by a cap N and formed with slits, which, as shown in plan in Fig. 3, deliver the vapour in a tangential direction with a whirling motion inside the cap, around the flange of which the steam passes so as to take first a downward and then an upward path. The condenser C, D, E consists of two concentric cylinders preferably made of tin, the outer cylinder being sumounted by a dome and cooled by a water jacket P. The steam flows up through the inner cylinder and enters the condenser at the top. hot condensed water of a high degree of purity collecting in the pocket at the base. Holes F are provided to lead uncondensed vapours to an annular chamber H, from which they pass to an auxiliary condenser K, in which a less pure water is collected. When used separately, the condenser C, D, E is fitted with an inlet pipe for vapours, and with an aperture for the escape of uncondensed vapours.

Granted: 1914-02-05
Abstract: 18,647. Cleveland, C. C. Aug. 16. Deflation of tyres, means for indicating.- Deflation of a pneumatic tyre causes the explosion of a detonator, a visual signal being also given to indicate the tyre affected. In the form shown in Figs. 1 a.nd 2, the hammer-head 27 is integral with the tubular shank 26 which moves within a tube 5 attached to the detachable rim 9. Slidably mounted in a slot in the hammer-head is a dog 28 which normally engages a. recess 31 in the wall of the tube 5, being retained there by the pin 18 which engages a recess 61 in the dog 28 to prevent its lateral motion. When the tyre is deflated, the screwed cap 20 on the pin 18 is permitted to rise, the spring 24 pressing upwards the shoulder 22 of the pin until it abuts against the screwed head 13 of the tube 5. The dog 28 being thus released is pressed downwards and sideways under the influence of the spring 24 and bevel 30. The hammer is thus released, and reaches the position shown in Fig. 2 so as to explode the cap 37 on the hollow nipple 40. The visual indicator 44 is driven out by the explosion and is retained in the position shown in Fig. 2 by friction. Alternatively, a cartridge may be used and the hammer may drive in a firing-pin, which bears on the cartridge; and the visual indicator pin may be provided with two expanding spring legs which serve to retain it in its signalling position after the explosion. In order to set the alarm, the detonator-bearing plug 42 is unscrewed and the hammer pressed upwards by a. suitable tool. On reaching its upmost position, the dog is moved sideways into the recess 31 by the pin 18 coacting with the bevel 32. The device may be modified for insertion in a solid rim: or, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, it may be clamped between a nut 4 and a laterally detachable rim 9. When the rim is to be removed, the tube 5 and pin 18 have first to be removed from their screwed heads 13, 20.
