Title: Improvements in Engines for Compressing or Pumping Air or other Fluids.
Inventor: LAKE WILLIAM EDWARD
Filed: 1904-09-06
Granted: 1904-11-24
Abstract: 19,226. Lake, W. E., [Bucknam, R. M.]. Sept. 6. Valves and valve gear.-Relates to pumping and air-compressing engines of the kind in which a water or other fluid pressure motor cylinder A, Fig. 1, and a compressor cylinder are arranged in tandem ; a special form of distributing-valve E for the motor cylinder is actuated from the common piston-rod D', and means is provided for readily replacing the compressor cylinder by others of various sizes. Between the cylinders is a frame C having flanges B', A<1> acting as cylinder covers. The distributing-valve E is connected by screwed pipes a<6>, a<7>, Fig. 6, to ports a', a<3> preferably arranged in the caps A', A<3>. The valve casing is formed with an inlet e', Fig. 3, inlet ports e<9>, e<10>, and exhaust ports e<15>, e<16>, Fig. 4, leading to an outlet e<18>. In this casing works a rotary plug having chambers f<1>, f<2>, which are separated by a diaphragm f<3> and are provided with inlet ports as shown in Fig. 6, outlet ports f<6>, f<7> and a discharge port f Fig. 4. To operate the plug through its stem F<1>, a lug d, Fig. 1, on the piston-rod D<2> strikes a pair of curved arms G<1> on a rocking shaft G provided with a lug which thereby engages one of two shoulders on a crank-arm g<7>, and through the rod g<11> and adjustably-weighted arm g<12>, Fig. 1, rotates the plug within limits defined by the contact of nuts g<14>, g<15>, Fig. 5, with a fixed stop g<16>. The movement of the plug is accelerated by the provision on the rocking shaft G, Fig. 1, of an adjustably-weighted lever g which oscillates within limits defined by stops g<2>, g<3>. To enable different sizes of compressor cylinders B to be fitted, the cylinder covers B<1>, B' are formed with concentric, circular recesses for receiving the cylinder ends and are secured together by bolts b<1>.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Dyeing and/or Bleaching Textile Materials.
Inventor: NAEYER THEODORE DE
Filed: 1904-12-31
Granted: 1905-06-15
Abstract: 29,633. Naeyer, T. do. Jan. 30, [date applied for under Patents Act, A.D. 1901]. Bleaching; dyeing.-Relates to apparatus for bleaching or dyeing textile materials, such as described in Specifications Nos. 20,942 and 20,959, A.D. 1903. Fig. 1 shows a single apparatus with one vat, and Fig. 4 a compound apparatus with several vats. The water or liquid used is boiled in the closed vessel A, fitted with a heating-coil provided with an automatic drain cock or other device. Communicating with the concave bottom of the boiler is a large pipe serving to empty the boiler and also as connection with the suction and force pump P. This pump forces the liquid into the vat through a system of pipes so that the liquid falls on the material from above. The vat E is a closed vessel generally of cubic form ; the lid can be raised by a counterweight, pulley-blocks, or a winch, and is provided with an automatic airescape valve J or the like. The bottom of the vat is similar to the lid, so that the vat can be turned completely round on central pivots on bearers, if desired, to reverse the direction of flow of dye through the material. Openings N are provided, closed by screwed plates which can be moved by hand for the purpose of taking samples. The vat has perforated and preferably movable false bottoms K, K<1>. In the apparatus shown, the lower bottom K' is fixed and the upper one K is movable by screws or otherwise, being fixed at any point by the side racks or springs shown. In this way, the materials treated can shrink at their natural rate and are not disturbed when the vat is turned over. The vat is rotated by means of the handle 5. worm 6, and pinion 7, portions of the pipes Q being made of rubber so that when unfastened they can be lifted or allowed to fall away while the vat is being swung. The pipe 2 is provided with a drain cock and with a weighted valve L ; this valve may be replaced by an ordinary cock worked by band if desired. The system of pipes is also provided with valves S, so that the pipes or vat can be closed when desired, and also for use as below. A steam pipe 8 for drying purposes, a safety-valve 9, and a manometer 10 may be added to the apparatus. With a single vat apparatus, an auxiliary boiler is generally used, which may hold one of the liquids used while the main boiler A operates with one of the other liquors, or may if necessary replace the boiler A. Fig. 4 shows three pumps P, 0, M with corresponding boilers A, B, C and vats E, F, G so arranged that any pump, say the pump P, can take liquid from any boiler, say the boiler C, and force it into any vat, say the vat F. In this way, material in the vat E, say, can be damped or mordanted from the boiler A, dyed from the boiler B, and rinsed from the boiler C, and so on. An auxiliary boiler D is provided in this case also.

Variations in the load on the engine cause corresponding movements of the valve 18, so that the engine is maintained at the desired speed.
Patent GB-190613480-A (GB)
Title: Improvements relating to the Manufacture of Gas for Illuminating, Heating or "Power Purposes."
Inventor: ELWORTHY ELLEN GERTRUDE
Filed: 1906-06-12
Granted: 1907-05-30
Abstract: 13,480. Elworthy, E. G., [administratrix of Elworthy, H. S.]. June 17, 1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Gas manufacture, materials and processes for; purifying gas.-Hydrogen is prepared in the known way by heating water gas and steam alone or in contact with a metal such as iron or nickel, carbonic acid being also produced. The carbonic acid may be separated in any suitable way, and the hydrogen mixed with water gas or the like and passed over metallic nickel to produce methane and water as described in Specifications No. 12,461, A.D. 1902, and No. 7713, A.D. 1905. The separation of the carbonic acid may take place either before or after the passage of the gases over nickel, and may be effected by absorption with alkalies, alkaline earths, or carbonated alkalies, which may be regenerated, or by centrifugal apparatus or diffusion or by absorption in water under pressure, a counter current of water being employed from which the carbonic acid is recovered by releasing the pressure. For this purpose, there may be used a scrubber such as is described in Specification No. 14,333, A.D. 1904. Instead of transforming all the carbonic oxide of the water gas into carbonic acid as described above, the reaction may be stopped at any point, so as to produce a mixture containing carbon monoxide and hydrogen in the proportions necessary to form methane as described in the prior Specifications above mentioned, or in such proportions as to leave an excess of hydrogen so that a mixture of methane and hydrogen is finally obtained, as described in Specification No. 7713, A.D. 1905. The hydrogen obtained according to the first reaction may be mixed with the methane obtained according to the second before or after treatment with metallic nickel. If desired, a part of the carbon monoxide of the water gas may be separated by centrifugal means, or by diffusion, before treating the water gas with steam, and used for heating, and similarly a part of the carbonic acid produced by the treatment with steam may be removed so as to leave sufficient carbonic acid to be converted into methane, or a larger quantity of carbonic oxide or carbonic acid may be removed so as to leave an excess of hydrogen for methane reaction.

The spur-wheel 19 carries an ebonite disk 21 having a brass arm 22, which passes nearly in contact with the inwardly projecting ends of pins 24, each connected to one of the terminals 28 of the sparking-plugs. The secondary coil 26 is connected by a conductor 13 in an insulating- tube 12 to a metal piece 25 connected to a metal cylinder, in which works a spring-pressed plunger engaging the arm 22. The contact-breaker consists of a cam 29 on the armature shaft 6 engaging a projection on the lever 30 pivoted in an angularly adjustable plate 31, and adapted to break contact with a screw 32x on a bracket 32 on the plate 31 but insulated therefrom. The armature coil is connected to a metal ring 36, against which presses a spring-pressed metal plunger connected to a terminal 37 and so to the bracket 32. The case for the coil 1 and condenser 2 may be made in one piece.
