Patent GB-190913000-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Liquid Fuel Burners.
Inventor: LIGHT ARTHUR HENRY
IPC: F23D11/10
Filed: 1909-06-02
Granted: 1910-06-02
Abstract: 13,000. Light, A. H. June 2. Spray hurners.-In a spray burner for use with locomotive boilers, &c. an atomizing-chamber is provided having a central fuel-supplying valve which introduces the fuel in the same plane as a tangential inlet for the spraying-fluid, the outlet from the chamber being above this inlet; means are provided for preventing the escape of unatomized fuel, for subjecting the sprayed mixture to further spraying action in one or more auxiliary chambers, and for blowing steam through the parts for cleaning. Oil supplied by the pipe 1, Figs. 1 and 2, is ejected in a thin film between the valve 5 and its seat into the chamber 9, and is atomized by the steam or other fluid admitted tangentially through the nozzle 15, which is regulated by the needle valve 14. The steam and oil whirling in the chamber 9 eventually escape by the passage 21, but any unatomized oil is first, through the action of centrifugal force, caused to pass through a restricted passage 19 into an annular chamber 18, which preferably tapers circumferentially and does hot extend right round the chamber 9, whence it issues through the passage 20 so as to be again subjected to the atomizing action. In modifications, the valve 5 is controlled by a vertically-adjustable rod, and the chamber 18 is dispensed with. A valvecontrolled connexion 65 between the oil and steam pipes is provided in order that steam may be blown through the mixing-chamber and burner nozzle for cleaning purposes. In a further modification, Fig. 6, two or more superposed mixing-chambers are employed. The oil valve 110 carries a part 111 connected to the vertically-movable rod 112, which is controlled by a lever &c. 113 pivoted at 114 and connected to a spring 115, the tension of which may be adjusted by the hand-wheel 116. Oil issues through a pipe 108, chamber 109, and valve 110 into the mixing-chamber 118, where it is sprayed by a tangentially-supplied steam, &c. jet. Baffles 127 help to atomize the heavier portions cf the oil. The mixture then passes into the chamber 130 where it meets another steam, &c. current preferably rotating in the opposite direction, and finally passes by one or more passages 138 to the burners. The port 137 is preferably controlled by a valve 139, which may be raised by the lever 113 to control the oil and steam, &c. supplies to the furnace. On raising the valve 139 the pressure in the apparatus increases, and the valve 110 allows less oil to pass. A support 140 is provided for the apparatus and a by-pass 141 is connected to a steam-pipe

Abstract: 616. Schmidt, F. W. Jan. 10. Thermal switches; cases.-A thermal switch, of the kind described in Specification 22,888/10 for immersion in a liquid in a storage battery to control its charging, has a casing which is only partly electrically conductive. In the construction shown in Fig. 1, a bimetallic strip 3 is carried by a plate 1 of brass or other metal enclosed in a casing 8, of glass, porcelain, or hard rubber, contact plugs 12 of lead or silver being fixed in the casing so as to engage with the plate 1 to form one terminal. The strip may touch an insulated contact-screw 6, which is connected with a screwed terminal 19 having a flange 20 and an insulating binding-nut 22. A ribbed shield 24 with washers of rubber and mica is placed between the flange and a ribbed neck on the cover. The terminal is insulated by a mica sleeve and held in place by a nut 32 and washers. The cover is cemented on to the casing, and has an opening closed by a plug 14 for allowing adjustment of the contact-screw. The casing is filled with an insulating and heatconducting liquid such as oil or hydrocarbon. In another construction, the casing is of electrically conducting material covered with a layer of porcelain, enamel, or lacquer, or the cover only is coated in this way, and the sides and bottom are plated with an acid - resisting material, a plate of non-conducting material being secured to the bottom. Otherwise, the layer of porcelain or other material is formed with openings through which contact is made with the casing, and the contact plugs are dispensed with.

Abstract: 6067. Ellis, H. March 10. Ink-ribbon mechanism. - During the initial movement of the winding-on spool, the feedmechanism is utilized to store energy for the subsequent operation of automatic reversal mechanism, as follows: -The spool shafts i, Fig. 5, are continuously rotated, each always turning in one direction, by bevel-wheels l operated from an escapement mechanism, and are provided with clutches 26, z, by which the spools are alternately connected to the shafts. The loosely-mounted upper member 26 of the clutch carries a cam 28, which is connected to the spool through a pivoted arm 31, Fig. 3, carrying a pin 33; this pin engages with a hinged gate in the spool hub, which is connected to the end of the ribbon. The lower member z of the clutch is keyed to the shaft, and carries a loose sleeve 4 provided with a pin 6, Fig. 3, and with cam-slots engaging fixed pins e, so that the portions of the clutch are engaged or disengaged by the rotation of the sleeve 4 through the pin 6.. When the ribbon is unwound, the gate is pulled outwards by the tension of the ribbon, and the pin 33 trips a pivoted latch 24, thus releasing a spring-held arm 12 which carries forward a pivoted arm 7 engaging the pin 6, and clutches in the empty spool. The arm 7 is engaged by a spring detent 18, and is connected by a rod 9 to a similar arm on the other spool to simultaneously disengage the other clutch. At the first rotation of the empty spool, the cam 28 engages a bowl 15 on the arm 12 to restore the arm behind the detent 24 and stretch the spring 17 ready to bring about a subsequent reversal. Specifications 28,253/08 and 29,807/10 are referred to.

Abstract: 15,493. La Pena, A. de, and Jordana, P. July 3. Carding-engines.-In carding cotton, wool, or similar textile materials, a series of three carding-engines is used, the first of the form shown in Fig. 1, the second a similar engine with a larger winding-drum, and the third as shown in Fig. 3. The main cylinder 2, Fig. 1, is provided with a number of sets of four rollers, each set comprising a worker and stripper such as 10<a>, 10<g>, a cleaner 26<a>, and a comber 25<a>. The material is worked and delivered to the taker-in 4b by feed rollers 1<a>, 1<b>, 1<c>, from which it passes under a burring - cylinder 5a to a breast cylinder 5 provided with workers and strippers 6a, 6, 6<d>, 6<c> and a fancy 7. Cylinders 8, 8<a> transfer the material to the main cylinder 2, and, after passing the sets of four rollers and a fancy 11, it is transferred by the cylinder 5<1>, beneath cylinders 12<a>, 12, 12b, to a doffer 13, from which it passes to a doffer 16, the cylinder 15 effecting the transfer, and the cylinder 14 acting as an auxiliary comber. The fleece is wound on a drum 18 which is in contact with a plain roller 17. The construction of the third carding-engine, Fig. 3, as far as the fancy 11, is similar to the first and second, but the cylinder 5<1> is stripped by ring cylinders 20, 20<1>, and cylinders 21, 21<1>, 22, 22<1> by variation of speed cause the thickening of the strips, which are transferred by suitable means to the rubbers 23, 23<1>. The condensed slivers are wound upon spindles 27. The workers, doffers, and other cylinders may be provided with clothing similar to that used upon fancy rollers.
