Abstract: 19,334. Thomas, J. Sept. 2. Refuse-destroying stoves; closed solid-fuel stoves; air supply, regulating.-A destructor furnace or stove of the kind described in Specification 24,923/13 is provided with a vertically sliding door controlling the admission of air and access to the ashpit and to the grate operated by the action of opening and closing the charging-door at the top of the furnace, the two doors being so interconnected that the door controlling the air admission and access to the ash-pit and grate may be opened beyond its normal extent independently of the charging-door when it is desired to rake out the fire-chamber. As shown in Fig. 2, the charging-door 22 is mounted on horizontal hinge pins 23 and is provided with projections 24 which, when the door is closed, bear against the upper arms 25 of bellcranks mounted on a spindle 26. The lower arm 28 of the bell-crank is connected to a rod 30 engaging in a telescopic manner with the vertically sliding door 31 controlling admission of air and access to the ash-pit 7 and grate 6. Normally the door 31 is held open a short distance by a lug 33 on the rod 30 engaging a bridge piece 34 on the door to allow sufficient air for combustion to pass to the fire-bars. The bell-crank arms 25, 28 may be adjusted in position on the spindle 26 to vary the extent of opening of the door 31 or the rod 30 or other parts may be made adjustable in length for the same purpose. When the charging- door is opened, the door 31 falls by gravity to its closed position. The telescopic or sliding connexion between the rod 30 and door 31 permits the door to be raised above its normal position to obtain access to the grate. Fig. 3 shows a modification in which an horizontally sliding charging- door 36 is adapted to engage one arm 43 of a bell-crank lever, the other arm 41 being pivoted to the rod 30 connected to the door 31 as previously described. As the door 36 is moved to the right, the air-supply door is lowered and vice versa. The furnace or stove shown in Fig. 2 has an outer-air cooling jacket 13 communicating with the atmosphere at top and bottom. Gas-rings 11, 12 for supplying gas to the refuse and combustion products, and a baffle 16 to deflect the hot air rising from the space between the casing 5 and tubular cage 10 are also provided as described in Specification 24,923/13.

Abstract: 23,081. Thomas, J. Oct. 13. Bogies.-The vehicle body is suspended upon bogies in such a way that it is maintained horizontal while swing- ing from side to side. The bolster is supported on springs f carried on a spring plank d, which is suspended by links e from bell - cranks b pivoted in eye-bolts c on the bogie frame a. There is a pair of such bellcranks and links at each end of the spring plank. The longer arms of the bell-cranks b bear against abutments d on the spring plank d, or are connected to the spring plank by pins and slots. The links e and the shorter arms of the bell-cranks at one side of the vehicle are inclined in opposite directions to those at the other side. As an alternative arrangement, the bell-cranks may be pivoted on the spring plank d, one of their arms being linked to the bogie frame while the other bears against an abutment upon that frame.

Abstract: 17,212. Thomas, J. July 24. Air-casings, non-structural.-Comprises improvements in the construction and arrangement of receptacles adapted to be inflated by compressed air, the supply of which is controlled from a central station, for the purpose of minimizing the risk of sinking in the event of accident to the hull of the ship. Tanks A filled with air under pressure are disposed at intervals in the centre of the vessel and communicate by means of the main I to branch pipes N , N", N along each deck. Inflatable receptacles B are connected to the branch pipes N , N , N by pipes n fitted with valves. The receptacles B are constructed of durable material and have the inlet pipe n fixed internally as shown. The main I is fitted with pipes provided with valves r for the supply of compressed air from air-pumps. Flexible inflated bags B are enclosed in airtight metal cases and fitted between the inner and outer frames of the plating and decks of the vessel. When the receptacles B are collapsed, they are secured to the underside of the decks by chains. In the event of accident, should it be desired to put out the fires in the boilers water is supplied by a pipe p from a tank T on deck, to the furnaces u.

Abstract: 22,929. Thomas, J. Oct. 17. Brakes.-Relates to holders or connectors for holding the enlarged terminals of rods or wires, and detachably connecting them to devices such as cycle brakes. Various forms of connectors are shown, all of which have an open slot e, a cavity a, and a part b for engaging the device to be connected up. The rod f is passed through the slot e and then pulled up to seat its terminal c in the cavity a. The connectors are used in a non- adjustable manner by arranging the part b to engage directly the device, such as the arch, Fig. 14, of a cycle brake. The connectors are used in an adjustable manner, as shown in Fig. 16 applied to a cycle brake, by providing above the part b a loose part b x having arms which pass through slots g in the arch d and engage a nut h. The arch d is made in two parts having engaging ears d and secured by a nut i. The connectors can be lowered through the part b , below the brake, to permit of the removal of the rod. In another form of adjustable connexion, the arms which pass through the slots are formed on the part b, and the nut i is slotted to permit of the parts being assembled.

Abstract: 2557. Thomas, J. Feb. 1. Brakes.-In a rim brake for cycles &c. of the type described in Specification No. 17,136, A.D. 1906, wherein the yoke is made with a tubular shank for the attachment of the connecting rod or wire, the yoke is formed in two laterally separable halves, secured together at the shank by a nut or a sleeve. As shown in Figs. 1 and 3, the shank parts a' of the yoke portions a, slotted at a to receive the feathers b of the terminal b , are connected together by nuts c against which the feathers bear. In modifications, the yoke portions are connected by a closely-fitting sleeve upon the plain shank parts, the terminal being made in a single piece which is conical to lodge in the lower part of the shank ; or the terminal is made in two parts, an inner screwing into an outer one, which is conical at its lower end to lodge in the shank. The sleeve and shank parts may also be provided with bayonet-joints, with set-screws, &c. to secure the parts more firmly.

Abstract: 26,382. Thomas, J. Dec. 3. Gas and like engines; valves and valve gear.- The inlet and exhaust valves of a four-strokecycle engine are combined. A beat valve o opened by a tappet s controls the passage into and from the cylinder, and a cylindrical slide valve g worked by a lever q controls the inlet ports h, the exhaust ports h , and the passage of the incoming charge between itself and the central seating h . The cam shaft may be mounted on the cylinder head. A modified arrangement of the valve seatings is described. Cylinders, cooling. Longitudinal passages are formed in the walls of the cylinder and communicate with the crank chamber, or a pump and baffles for directing the air over the valve-chest are attached. As an alternative, a ribbed jacket made in two parts and held together by expansion bolts is provided with longitudinal grooves a terminating in an annular chamber which is exhausted by a fan, pump, or exhaust ejector.
