PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Apparatus for Inducing or Producing Currents of
Air, Water, or other Fluid for Various Purposes.
I WILLIAM TURNER LORD 3 Carlos Street, Berkley Square London Middlesex,
Decorator do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This Invention has for its object improvements in apparatus for inducing or
producing fluid currents in an economical and efficient manner.
In carrying out my Invention I employ compressed air, steam, or other suitable
fluid under pressure, and the apparatus is formed with an annular orifice at one end of
a chamber which recioves or contains the fluid under pressure by a pipe connected to
the opposite end of the said chamber.
A conical plug or device of suitable form is secured in the chamber by a screw bolt
or other means attached to a bridge piece within the said chamber containing the fluid
under pressure, which fluid pressure issues in the form of an annular jet or spray
through the space between the conical plug and the chamber, which also acts within a
second outer annular chamber, seperate from the inner chamber or shell, but connected
with it at one end by means of a second bridge piece, the outer chamber projecting
beyond the inner one, provision being made to vary the distance between the ends of
the inner and outer chambers or shells, the distance being adjustable. The outer
chamber is coned shaped (open at both ends) or it may be parallel-sided or of other
desired form. The fluid under pressure issuing from the inner annular orifice induces
a second current within the second and outer chamber, both currents combining and
issuing from the mouth of the outer chamber acts upon the surfaces of the fluid it is
intended to induce or produce; within suitably formed square, circular, or other shaped
tubes or carrying pipes for conveying the induced fluid.
The secondary current regulates the velocity of the compressed fluid issuing from
the inner annular space under varying pressures and adds to the volume of compressed
Huid acting upon the induced currant.
My improved apparatus is applicable for ventilating Ships, Buildings, Mines,
producing draught in steam boiler and other furnaces, for producing circulation of the
water in boilers or in condensers or other vessels, for ejecting or injecting water, oil,
or other fluid in the form of a jet or spray.

Improvements in Apparatus for Inducing or Producing Currents of
Air, Water, or other Fluid for Various Purposes.
WILLIAM TURNER LORD 3, Carlos Street, Grosvenor Square, London, W.
Decorator, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the
same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement:-
My Invention has for its object improvements in apparatus for Inducing or
Producing fluid currents in an economical and efficient manner.
In carrying out the same employ compressed Air, Steam, or other suitable fluid
under pressure, and the apparatus is formed with an annular or other shaped orifice at
one end of a chamber which receives or contains the fluid under pressure by a pipe
connected to the opposite end of the said chamber. A conical plug or device of
suitable form is secured in the chamber by a screw, bolt, or other means, attached to a
bridge piece within the said chamber containing the fluid under pressure, which fluid

page_text: pressure issues in the form of a jet or spray through the space between the conical
plug and the chamber, which also acts within a second outer chamber separate from
the inner chamber or shell, but connected with it at one end by means of a second
bridge piece.
The outer chamber projecting beyond the inner one, provision being made to vary
the distance between the ends of the inner and outer chambers or shells, the distance
being adjustable.
The outer chamber is coned shaped (open at both ends) or it may be parallel-sided,
or of other desired form.
The fluid under pressure issuing from the inner annular orifice induces a secondary
current within the second or outer chamber, both currents combining and issuing
from the mouth of the outer chamber acts upon the surfaces of the fluid it is intended
_to induce or produce, in suitably formed square, circular, or other shaped tubes, or
carrying pipes. The secondary current regulates the velocity of the compressed fluid,
issuing from the inner annular orifice, under varying pressures and adds to the volume
of compressed fluid acting upon the induced current.
My improved apparatus is applicable for ventilating Ships, Buildings, Mines,
producing draught in Steam boiler and other furnaces, for producing circulation of
the water in boilers or in Condensers or other vessels, for ejecting or injecting water,
oil, or other fluid in the form of spray.
DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING, ETC.
To illustrate my invention I append an explanatory drawing to be referred to in
showing my improved apparatus.
Fig. 1 is a section of my apparatus. Fig. 2 is a cross section at a. b. Fig. 3 is a
cross section at c. d.
A. is a chamber which receives or contains the fluid under pressure by a pipe (not
shown) connected to the opposite end of the said chamber, a conical plug or device B.
of suitable form and material is secured in the chamber by a screw, bolt or other
means, attached to a bridge piece C. or otherwise within the said chamber containing
the fluid under pressure, which fluid issues in the form of an annular jet or spray
through the space between the conical plug B. and the chamber A. which also acts
within a second or outer annular chamber D, separate from the inner chamber or
shell A, but connected with it at one end by means of a bridge piece E. or otherwise.
The outer chamber projecting beyond the inner one, provision being made to vary
the distance between the ends of the inner and outer chambers or shells, the distance
being adjustable. The outer chamber D. is secured to the inner chamber A. by the
pinch screw F.; any other form than the annular one shown on cross section is
equally suitable.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said Inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is
The forming and combining the parts of the current inducing or producing
apparatus, substantially in the improved manner hereinbefore described and with
reference to the drawing.
Dated this Fifth day of December 1889.
