Granted: 1904-05-12
Abstract: 15,309. Stirling, R. July 10. Raising liquids by aerating ascending column. -Relates to apparatus for raising oils or other liquids from deep wells by means of compressed air. The raising of the liquid depends on the aeration of it in the discharge pipe, the apparatus being suitable for wells of considerable depth, in which the depth of liquid is small. Fig. 3 shows a sectional elevation of the lower part of the apparatus, which consists of a suction pipe k, a discharge pipe c, a compressed-air supply pipe b, a restricted nozzle d round which the compressed air enters through apertures e, a throat f, and a ball valve l. To the extension m, a packer n of rubber or other material is fixed, below which a ring of soft metal o is disposed, which rests in the seating h. The weight of the pipe c causes the packer n to expand and make a tight joint. The compressed air entering through the apertures e forces the liquid up the tube c. In another form shown, no packer n or ball valve l is used. The tube b need not be concentric with the tube c as shown, or it may be disposed within it. In a modification, two sets of air inlets are used, the additional set being placed either above or below the inlet nozzle d.

Filed: 1904-09-16
Granted: 1905-10-16
Abstract: 19,949. Stocks, H. B. Sept. 16. Rock drills.-Pneumatic tools are arranged so that each tool has a separate air-compressor and the air is admitted to the tool only on its exceeding a certain pressure, enabling it to open spring-loaded valves. The compressed air is conveyed to the spring valves 3, 4, Fig. 5, of the tool shown in section in Fig. 4, and thence through passages 2, 5 and the piston valve x to the passages y, z leading to the front and back respectively of the tool piston t. Exhaust ports 14 are provided in the tool cylinder, and the passages y, z are alternately opened to exhaust ports 13 by the movement of the piston valve x. The aircompressor works continuously, the air escaping through passages 7, 8 when the throttle valve 9, operated by a lever 10, is not pressed down. The volumes of the compressor and tool cylinders are so arranged that the air is cut off before the piston reaches the end of its stroke and thus works expansively. The pressure on the valve controlling admission for the forward stroke of the tool piston is greater than that for the return. To obviate the necessity of having very strong springs for the valves, the spindles may be provided with a small bore 9, Fig. 8, opening to a chamber 10, thus making the spring take only a difference of pressures.

Granted: 1905-08-10
Abstract: 21,242. Gross, O. Oct. 4. Arc lamps.- Downwardly - convergent electrodes are engaged by clutches of cam or wedge types to regulate the feed. The arc is struck by means of an arcing-plate which may be movable or, according to the Provisional Specification, fixed. Magazines for supplying fresh carbons may be provided. In one form, the core h, Fig. 1, of a differentially-wound solenoid S, S<1> is connected to the piston h<1> of a dashpot and to a crosshead g. The crosshead may carry forked pieces g<1> embracing the fixed tubes a, b in which the carbons slide, and is connected by a pair of links f to each clutch. Rollers d, each having a pair of milled bevelled surfaces to engage the carbon, are pivoted eccentrically to the links f and to clip or other bracket on a tube a<1> which telescopes within the tube a. The base - plate, or a stop, serves to arrest the tube a and to disengage the rollers from the carbon when feeding is necessary. In another form of clutch, a gripping block 11, Fig. 6, is pivoted to arms 13 on a clip or bracket 9, and the link f is connected either to the block or to an extension of one of the arms beyond its pivot. The arcing-plate A, Fig. 1, is carried by an arm on a vertical shaft q. A second arm p on the shaft has a pin connected by a swivel o to a bell-crank lever m, actuated by a link l and adjustable tie k attached to the crosshead g. When the clutches are disengaged from the carbons, the arcing-plate is immediately beneath the latter. In another form of lamp, the cores of series and shunt solenoids are linked to a rocking beam and connected respectively to a dash-pot and to a horizontal bar attached to the crosshead g. In this case, the arcing-plate is preferably moved about a horizontal axis, being attached to one end of an arm, which rests on a pin and is pivoted at the other end to a rod depending from the horizontal bar. A series electromagnet j, Fig. 1, steadies the arc. A magazine for the carbons is shown in Fig. 10. A sloping bottom 18 and a stepped top 17 allow the carbons, which are introduced through a door 19, to feed without jamming. The feeding-mechanisms described may be employed with lamps having three or more carbons.
