GEORGE ANDERSON Foreman Pattern Maker 134 Weardale Street Mount
Pleasant Spennymoor County Durham. I George Anderson do hereby declare the
nature of the said invention for DISTRIBUTING OF GAS & AIR IN REGENERATIVE
STEEL MELTING GLASS MELTING & OTHER FURNACES WHERIN GASEOUS FUEL ARE
USED to be as follows:-
In gas regenerator furnaces it has been found the valve in general, use for
controlling the direction of gas and air currents does consist of an oval shaped
cast iron plate & from its form great defects are caused by its warping & burning
& no reversing and other great defects My invention has for its first, preventon.
of warping & burning, better reverseing appliances and an outer shell or tank to
be supplied with water to keep inside shell or valve case and tongue or flap cold
by water a constant supply by arrangements mentioned hereafter. Replacing flap
or tongue the case of ones in use, is to be removed direct from bed which is
avoided in mine invention.
The cast iron plate before mentioned in (B) it oscillating in a circular pipe or,
chamber does from its form warp and gets out of adjustment when acted on by
the hot gases when this happens and the reversing flap or valve does not lie home
on its seat a loss of fuel takes place through leakage which is injurious to
the furnaces & its belongings from combustion of the gases so leaked been set up
in flues and other wrong places.
The arrangement for the changeing or repairing of the flaps as to cause removal
of case distinct from bed which is verey unconvenient when work is to be done,
as mentioned (B).
Now my invention has for its object in the first place the prevention of the
losses of gaseous fuel and the consequent injury to the furnaces & its belongings
and the, better regulation and control of the currents of waste or spent gases
flowing from the furnaces through the chequer work of the chambers and by
proventing of the over heating of one and the under heating of the other chambers
and contributing much durability.

page_text: Now my valve consists of a double case square or circular in form with a space
between the inner and outer shell. The space between the inner and the outer
shell to form a recever for water or any other liquor that can be used to prevent
the inner shell from warping or burning, two sides of the outer shell are cast onto
inner shell, the outher two sides can be bolted on to form a complete outer shell,
the inlet for gas is at the top of this case resting only on the inner case, at each
end that is right and left end, are spaces to serve as outlets to the regenerators,
the regulation which is so much complained of in cases now in use can be regulated
unionformly by a danper being so placed at the outlets as to even stop all back
cast from furnaces if necessary when tongue is to be replaced or repaired & to
regulate the other, and at the bottom of the inner case is a outlet for the refuse
gases leading to the flues of the chimneys, between the two side spaces or outlets
is placed the tongue valve to meet its home or seat diagonally right and left as
reversed from its centre axis or spindle to open and connect the top inlet with one
or the other of the side outlets as desired mechanically speaking, down the sides
of the inner and outer shell or valves case are two V shaped openings to facillate
the removell of the tongue before mentioned when required i.e to repair or replace
when necessary, the V shaped openings to centre of valve spindle which are at the
bottom end of the opening serves as a bearing for the journals of the valve spind
when the tongue valve is in position there are two keeps or iron blocks that fit into
V shaped openings and serve to keep the journals of the tongue valve spindle in
position and fill up the V shaped openings then been held by bolts.
These V shaped openings pieces will admitt of being withdrawn at any time to
remove tongue from its place the tongue can be removed without disconnecting
any other parts. The tongue valve and its journals are made hollow so as to allow
water or any other liquids which can be used to pass in one end of the spindle
then to circulate the tongue which prvision is made then to return to.other end of
spindle to outlet.
The tongue valve is supplied on the inside with two ridges running from
opposite sides of the centre diagonally across the valve to within a slight distance
of the further sides These ridges are joined to the edges & sides thus the water
is made to travel over the whole inner surface of the tongue valve and out through
the other end of the journal and discharge itself into the space between the two
shells of the valve case before mentioned, this space or tank will also be supplied
with a seprate feeder and have an outlet for the overflow, the inner shell or case
or valve will be fitted with a seat so as to allow the tongue valve to be close and
perfectley gas or air tight thus saveing all loss of fuel, Now warping or burning
of which is so because water will be in constant circulation through all parts by
this arragment to all them that is exposed to heat, which an independmet tank can
be placed so as allow a constant supply of water or any other liquids, these valve
cases can be made to suit any other belongings to old valve now in use, all
appliancs can be set on a bed plate to prevent any injury to any flues.

Regenerative Steel Melting, Glass Melting, and other Furnaces
wherein Gaseous Fuel is Used for Heating the same.
GEORGE ANDERSON, foreman pattern maker of 134 Weardale St Mount Pleasant
Spennymoor of Cy Durham. I George Anderson do hereby declare the nature of
the said invention for DISTRIBUTING GAS & AIR IN REGENERATIVE ST MELTING
GL. MELTING & OTHER FURNACES WHERIN GASES IS USED and in what manner
the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and
by the following statement:-
Improved gas or air valve consisting of an inner & an outer shells square or
circular outer shell to form receiver for water to protect inner shell from warping
& burning, reversable flap or tongue also protected by water by arrangements lose
blocks or keeps fitted into V shaped opening to facilitate removel of tongue from
posistion. A valve face cast to inner shell diagonaly so reversible flap lies properly
home thus is gas or air tight.
1. Inner case or shell protected by water to protect it from warping & burning.
2. Lose flap or tongue protected by water.
3. face been cast on inner shell to form a seat for lose flap or tongue to lie &
make it gas or air tight.
4. A damper so placed as to have good regulating powers of gas & air to & from
regenerators.
5. V shaped openings & blocks to facilitate the removal of tongue
The cast iron plate before mentioned oscilating in a circular pipe or chamber
does from its form warp & gets out of adjustment when acted on by the hot gases,
when this happens and the reversing flap or tongue of valve does not lie home on
its seat a loss of fuel takes place through leakage which is injurious to the furnaces
& its belongings from combustion of the gases so leaked being set up in flues &
other wrong places.
The arrangement for the changeing or repairing of the flaps as to cause removal
of case distinct from its bed which is verey inconvenient when work is to be done as
mentioned.
'
Now my invention has for its objects in the first, place the prevention of the
losses of gaseous fuel and the consequent injuery to the furnace & its belongings, and
the better regulatn and control of the currents of waste or spent gases flowing from
the furnaces through the chequer work of the chambers and by prevention of the
overheating of one & the underheating of the other chambers. and contributing
much to their durability.
Now my valve consists of a double case square or circular in form, with a space
between the inner & the outer shell to form a reciver for water or any other liquids
that can be used to prevent the inner shell from warping & burning, two sides of
the outer shell are cast on to the inner shell. The opposit two sides can be bolted
on to form a complete outer shell as before mentioned a cover can be place on the
outer shell so as to be applied to gain pressure of water therefore send it as it
returns to heating purposes if necessary.

page_text: The inlets for gas is at the top of this case resting only on the inner case at each
end that is right and left end are spaces to serve as outlets to the rengenertors, the
regulation which is so much complained of in cases now in use can be regulated
unionformly by a damper so placed at the outlets as to even stop all back casts
from furnaces if necessary when tongue is to be replaced or repaired, & to regulate
the gas & air, and at the bottom of the inner case is a outlet for the refuse gases
leading to the flues of the chimnya, between the two sides spaces or outlets is
placed the tongue valve to meet its home or seat diagonally right & left as
reversed from its centre axis or spindle to open and connect the top inlet with one
or the other of the side outlets as desired machanically speaking down the sides of
the inner and outer sheel or valve case are two V shaped openings to facillate the
removal of the tongue before mentioned when requiried ie to repair or replace when
necessary the V shaped openings go to centre of valve case. The bottom end of
these openings serve as a bearing for the journals of the valve spindle when the
tongue valve is in position there are two keeps or iron blocks that fit into V shaped
openings and serve to keep the journals of the tongue valve spindle in position and
fill up the V shaped openings then been held by bolts.
These V shaped openings pieces will admitt of been with drawn at any time to
remove tongue from its place by the bolts been withdrawn & the top cover taken
up suply pipe as a ferrule joint the tongue can be removed without disconecting any
other parts. The tongue valve & its journals are made hollow so as to allow water
or any other liquids which can be used for cooling purpos to pass in one end of the
spindle, then to circulate the tongue where provision is made, then to return to
other end of spindle course of water &c The tongue valve is supplied on the inside
with two ridges running from opposite sides of the centre diagonally across valve
to within a slight distance of the further sides these ridges are joined to the edges &
sides thus the water is made to travel over the whole of the inner surface of the tongue
valve & out through the other end of the journal and discharges itself into the space
between the two shells of the valve cases before mentioned this space or tank will
also be supplied with a seperate feeder and having an outlet for the overflow; the
inner shell or case or valve will be fitted with a seat so as to allow the tongue valve
to lie close and perfectly gas & air tight thus saving all loss of fuel. No warping
or burning of which is so strong an object in cases now in use because water will
be in constant circulation through all parts by this arrangement to all them that is
exposed to heat which an independent tank can be placed so as to allow a constant
Bupply of water or any other liquids these valve cases can be made to suit any
other belongings to old valves now in use all appliances can be set on a bedplate
to prvent any injury to the flues. The arrangements of my invention is as follows.
Now my valve when used for air appliances can be regulated by a circular plate or
valve on top of inner case, which can be worked by a lever or screw as deseired to
regulate the quantities of air requiered not show in the Drawings.

figs 1. 2. 3. 4 & 5 is space betwen case A & case B which can be made other square
or circular. Space Y is for water to be constantly circulating to all parts that are
affected with heat from warping & burning.
A. the case been protected by water or any other liquids will stop it from
warping & burning substantialy as described, which is a great defect in cases now
in use. Tongue H. it been also protected by water or any other liquids will stop
it from warping and burning substantialy as described. N. the V shaped blocks
be placed as keep for spindle of tongue H. & to facilate the removel of the same
when desired substantialy as described.
Dampers been so placed in spaces D. to regulate the currents to & from
regenerators or to stop all back cast substantialy as described. I been a face
cast on inner shell A. & mitred to meet tongue H. So H can lie home on its
seat diagonally and be perfectly gas or air tight thus saving flue from combustion
of gases been set up in wrong places substantialy as described.
Having now particularly described and ascertianed the nature of my inven-
tion and in what manner it is to be performed, I declare that what I claim is
1. Inner case or shell protected by water to protect it from warping.
2. Lose flap or tongue protected by water.
3. A face been cast on inner shell to forrm a seat for lose flap or tongue to lie
& make it gas or air tight.
4. A damper so placed as to have good regulating powers of gas & air to & from
regenerators.
5. V shaped openings & blocks to facilitate the removal of tongue.
