THE COMPTROLLER-GENERAL'S DECISION.
Year: 1884

page_text: WILLIAM MORGAN 31, Reading Street New Swindon, Wilts seek leave to amend
the specification of Letters Patent, No. 6930 of 1884, as shown in red ink in the
copy of the original specification hereunto annexed:
My reasons for making this amendment are as follows: that the drawing of the
specification shows a course of wind passing across the top of tuyre instead. of being
split so as to pass around the crown as intended in the specification; also that
there is a foot or rest at bottom of the box to keep it level.
In the matter of the application made by William Morgan for leave to amend the
Specification of Letters Patent No. 6930 of 1884;
THE COMPTROLLER-GENERAL'S DECISION.
With reference to the amendment of the said Specification.
I allow the amendment of the drawing so as to shew the course of the blast.
I refuse to allow the amendment of the drawing by inserting a foot at the
bottom of the box to keep it level.

page_text: Improvements in Tuyeres and Tuyere Apparatus for Smiths'
Forges and such like Purposes.
I, WILLIAM MORGAN of 31 Reading Street, New Swindon in the County of
Wilts, Foreman of Smiths, Great Western Railway, England, do hereby declare the
nature of my invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN TUYERES AND TUYERE APPARATUS
FOR SMITHS FORGES AND 'SUCH LIKE PURPOSES to be as follows:-
My Tuyere chamber consists of a perfectly air tight Hexagon or other shape box,
(see A in drawing) to which is attached a horizontal triangular trunk or tube also
air-tight, (see B in drawing). In this box are two annular spaces one near the top
or crown, the other near the base; the top space is formed in such a manner that
the air entering at the inlet pipe is split by striking against a hollow centre peice
(through which the delivery pipe passes) into two channels which passes round the
centre peice, where they meet and descend-through a port or way into the annular
space beneath, whence it ascends through the delivery pipe into the fire.
One end of the horizontal triangular tube is fastened or cast to the box C, the
other or outside end is so arranged that a sliding door is fitted for the removal of
refuse E. Within the box C. is placed a horizontal lever which is placed near the
outside end on a shaft placed at right angles to the lever, which shaft projects
beyond one of the sides of the tube; on this part that projects a handle is fastened
to actuate the same.
My clearing apparatus consists of a vertical bar or poker working in the inside
of the delivery pipe which is actuated by the lever in the triangular tube, the poker
keeps the delivery pipe which is in connection with the fire, free from slag, clinkers
and other foreign matter.
The blast of air passes into the space at the top of tuyere round the delivery pipe
as heretofore explained consequently the air is in close contact with the heated
crown and sides of the Tayere that it produces a violent combustion of the fuel
and consequently greater heat, the arrangements of the clearing apparatus provides
an 'easy method of cleaning and poking the fire.

I, WILLIAM MORGAN of 31 Reading Street New Swindon in the County of
Wilts Foreman of Smiths Great Western Railway England, do hereby declare the
nature of my invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN TUYERE'S AND TUYERE APPARATUS
FOR SMITHS FORGES AND SUCH LIKE PURPOSES, and in what manner the same is
to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
My chamber consists of a perfectly air tight Hexagon or other shaped box, see
(A Fig. 1 in drawing) to which is attached a horizontal triangular trunk or tube
which is also air tight. (B) Fig. 2 In this box are two annular spaces one near
the top or crown, the other near the base, the top space is formed in such a manner
that the air entering at the inlet pipe is split by striking against a hollow, centre
piece (through which the delivery pipe passes) into two channels which passes
round the centre piece where they meet and keeps the top of the tuyere cool and
descends through a port or way into the annular space or box beneath, whence it
ascends through the delivery pipe and when heated will made the fire much brighter
and heat the metal much quicker than the cold blast, when passing into the fire.
One end of the horizontal triangular tube or box which is a saving of metal and
takes up the least room, is fastened or east to the box (C Fig 3) and the other or
outside end is so arranged that a sliding door is fitted for the removal of dust,
clinker and slag from the fire. Within the box (C Fig 3) is placed a horizontal
lever, which is placed near the outside end on a shaft placed at right angles to the
lever, which shaft projects beyond one of the sides of the tube, on this part that
projects a handle is fastened to actuate the same.
My clearing apparatus consists of a vertical bar or poker working in the inside
of the delivery pipe which is actuated by the lever in the triangular tube or box,
the poker keeps the delivery pipe, which is in connection with the fire, free from
slag, clinkers and other foreign matter which drops into the box beneath.
The blast or air passes into the space at the top of the tuyere round the delivery
pipe as heretofore explained, consequently the air is in close contact with the heated
crown and sides of the Tuyere that it produces a violent combustion of the fuel,
and consequently greater heat, the arrangements of the clearing apparatus provides
an easy method of cleaning and poking the fire.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
Invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is this
The construction of tuyere's and apparatus connected therewith, substantially as
above described and for the purposes set forth.
