Granted: 1909-11-04
Abstract: 2496. Marks, E. C. R., [Fogler Heat and Reduction Co.]. Feb. 2. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Gas-producer furnaces.-Gas, as it leaves a producer, is mixed with a proportionate amount of air introduced into the middle of, and around, the stream of gas. In the arrangement shown as applied to an air-heating furnace, the gas-producer 1, in which solid or liquid hydrocarbons are used, is enclosed in the casing 25 of an air-heating furnace having a cold-air inlet 27, and hot-air outlets 26. The ash door 4 is kept almost closed so that only a limited supply of air enters the producer, and the gas generated passes through a nozzle 8 into an outer nozzle 9 and draws in atmospheric air through openings 12 and perforations 11 in a plate 10. An additional supply of air is delivered by an horizontal pipe 14 open at each end and formed with perforations 15. From the combustion chamber 16 the gases pass to the outlet flue 21 through flues 17, 19, the combined area of the flues 17 being less than the area of the smaller end of the nozzle 9; the area of the flue 19 is, preferably, considerably greater. Cleaning-doors 22, 23, 24 are arranged as shown. The application to steam boilers and metal heating and reducing furnaces is also mentioned.

In the form shown, a long metal strip is folded into straight corrugated lengths a, and the folds c, d are threaded with metal washers h and insulating washers i on two metal rods g, k surrounded by insulating sleeves; the folds d being formed with elongated slots or with forks, and left free to slide on the rod k, which is provided with insulating-washers n only. The rods g, k may be connected by two strips o, or by the two outside lengths a. The rod g may be fixed to a support, or both rods may be fixed, transverse corrugations a<2> being then provided to allow for expansion. In a modification, the continuous strip may be replaced by a number of U-shaped elements connected in series ; and sets of metal washers with or without insulating-washers may be used instead of single washers. In another modification, a number of narrow strips are arranged in pairs side by side, each strip having notches to receive the rods, the strips being connected in series by displacing the lower ends of each pair relatively to each other. Projections may be provided in the notches to engage with the holes of the washers and prevent the strips from slipping off the rods.

Filed: 1910-01-08
Granted: 1911-01-09
Abstract: 509. Heskett, T. J. Jan. 8. Variable-speed and reversing gearing; clutches, friction. - In variable - speed gearing, friction rollers G supported on a loosely - revolving frame I are arranged between a driving-member D and a driven member F, and the variation in speed and ultimate clutching action are obtained by compressing the rollers G more and more tightly between the members D, F. Reversed driving is obtained by holding the frame I against rotation in a like manner by compressing loose rollers J against the frame I by a contractible brake band K. The rollers G then act as ordinary friction " idlers." The members D, F are secured to alined driving and driven shafts C, E, respectively, and the member D is thrust towards the member F to speed up the latter by screw-and-nut gearing N, O. The rollers J are spaced apart and supported by floating rings J<1>.

Abstract: 29,804. Delin, C. C. Feb. 2, [Convention date]. Ploughs.-A rotary coulter and one or more rotary perforating-tools mounted in the share are driven from a motor. Fig. 2 shows a plough adapted. to be propelled by the motor that drives the rotary tools, but the implement may be adapted to be drawn by animals. The front wheels 2, 3 are driven from the motor 13 through a chain 14, change-speed gearing in the box 12, a differential shaft 11, and chains 8, 7. The speed gear is controlled from the seat 17 by lever mechanism 18, 21, 22. The rear steering- wheel 4 is operated by means of a hand-wheel 25 and chain gearing 29. The ploughing- apparatus consists of a furrow wheel 33, a coulter 35, share 37, and mould board 38, and is carried by a pivoted arm 31 which may be raised or lowered by means of a lever 63. The wheel 33 and coulter 35 may be adjustable independently. Plates are removably attached to. the coulter in such a way as to form a series of teeth. Mounted in the share are tools 39 provided with conical perforating-heads 42, Fig. 3, and connected together by spur gearing 47 driven by a flexible shaft. The coulter 35 and flexible shafts are driven by chain gearing from a shaft 52 co-axial with the pivot of the carrying-arm 31. Each tool 39 rotates in a piece 40 screwed into the share 37, longitudinal movement and the entrance of soil being prevented by a nut 41 and a felt washer 49, respectively. The squared end 43 of the tool fits into a corresponding recess in a piece 45 which rotates in a bearing 46 and has the spur-wheel 47 screwed on to it. Several sets of ploughing-tools may be mounted at the back or at each side of the machine. In the latter case, they may work alternately so as to turn all the furrows slices the same way. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) states also that the rotary tools may be driven from the travelling wheels; this subject - matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

The instrument comprises an inner tube or holder a, Fig. 5, provided with spring arms b, at the end of which are semicircular head-pieces c forming the closing-device, an intermediate tube i to which is connected a tubular part h and a conoidal mount e, and an outer fixed tube h<1>. The intermediate tube i and conoidal mount e are movable under the operation of a spring-butt k, Fig. 2, and are guided in their movement by a pin l on the outer case h<1> engaging an angled slot l<1> on the intermediate tube. The action of the holder is as follows. When the instrument is held with the nozzle end downwards and the spring-butt is depressed, the intermediate tube i and the conoidal mount e are advanced, thus allowing the arms b to spring apart and the lead carrier g to fall into its projected position, in which position, Fig. 2, it is firmly held by the head-pieces c when the spring-butt is released. In order to return the pencil to its sheath, the instrument is held with the nozzle end upwards, the spring-butt is again depressed, and the lead carrier falls inwards; and, when the spring-butt is finally released, the conoidal mount e returns to its normal position, Fig. 5, at the same time forcing together the head-pieces c to form a closure for the mouth or orifice d.
