Title: Improvements in and applicable to Single and Double Tube Injectors for Hot Water.
Inventor: WHITE THOMAS HENRY
IPC: F04F5/46
Filed: 1911-10-24
Granted: 1912-11-25
Abstract: 23,409. White, T. H. Oct. 24. [Cognate Application, 27,532/11.] Giffard injectors; overflow arrangements.- In apparatus of the type having overflow valves positively closed by steam or delivery pressure the pressure chamber is provided with a relief valve actuated by the impingement of an overflow valve at starting. In the example shown in Fig. 2, the gaps d, e are controlled by valves h, i. A relief valve l and piston m are arranged on the same axial lines as the valves h, i. At starting, the valve lifts slightly and then opens the valve l while the valve i moves the piston m directly. By this means, any steam passing through the passage p to the chamber o passes to the overflow outlet k through the valve i and passage j. A non- return valve s is fitted in the suction pipe. The invention is shown applied to double tube injectors. Further modifications show the relief valve fitted with a coaxial piston for closing the overflow valve. Supplementary water may be supplied.

Abstract: 8820. King's Norton Metal Co., Bayliss, T. A., and Brownsdon, H. W. April 15. Projectiles.-Consists (1) in coating bullets or the driving-bands of projectiles with a hard or cement-like coating to prevent fouling of the gun-bore, the coating being applied preferably in the form of an aqueous solution of an alkaline silicate with or without the addition of kaolin, china-clay, chalk, or the like; (2) in combining with this coating a lubricant, and (3) in roughening or pitting the surface of the bullets or driving-bands by sand-blasting or other mechanical or chemical means before applying the coating. A solution suitable for applying a thin coating is formed by dissolving 10 grms. of caustic soda in 100 c.cm of boiling water and gradually adding 25 grms. of dry precipitated silica. The projectiles may be dipped into this solution alone, or into the liquid formed by adding 4 grms. of powdered kaolin to 20 c.cm of the solution. A thicker coating to be applied by means of a brush is produced by adding four times this amount of kaolin. The coating is dried at about 50-70‹ C., and is then coated with paraffin wax, beeswax, or shellac varnish.

Granted: 1914-07-23
Abstract: 25,129. Bottle, E. W. Nov. 4. Electrical systems, automatic; track apparatus actuating signals on trains and other than on trains; miniature signals.-A train entering a station operates a track switch to close a switch in the circuit of a ramp in the previous section, and to open a switch in the circuit of a ramp in the second section in the rear; a second train passing on to an energized ramp has an alarm apparatus operated. The circuit of an electrically-operated indicator in the cabin is also closed by the track switches, to show the position of all trains. A train entering section I from the right actuates a track switch s to close a circuit from the main x through a wire w, solenoid m1 of section III, wire w, and solenoid m of section II. The solenoid m pulls down the arm a of the ramp switch RS1 to close the circuit from the main to charge the ramp R through a wire w2. The solenoid m1 raises its switch arm to earth the previously energized ramp R1, a spring b then centring the arm a. A following train passing on to the ramp R will receive an alarm. An indication of the state of the ramps is given in the cabin by an indicator board A having slits to represent track sections, each slit having an indicator controlled by a solenoid m2 energized with the corresponding ramp. A second solenoid m3 simultaneously resets the previously-set indicator. The indicators may be parti-coloured cards on rollers wound in reverse directions by opposite connexions to the plungers of two such solenoids, and these plungers may break the circuit after operation. The indicating-circuit includes a movable connexion f having a plug p which may be inserted in one of a series of holes in a bar B, each corresponding to a ramp, to allow the signalman to charge a ramp from the cabin in an emergency. The track switches comprise male and female contact-members held apart by springs, in pottery supports, the upper one acting as a cover. The engine apparatus consists of a spring-pressed scraper sc, Fig. 4, connected by an insulated rod r and wire w7 with a solenoid m4, the counterweighted armature i1 of which acts as a detent to a clock-work alarm bell v. The ramps are inverted V-shape in cross-section and slope down at the ends, unless the engine carries a brush or wheel, in which case they are straight and flat-topped.
