UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
WARREN A. SIMONDS, OF BOSTON, ASSIGNOR TO HIMSELF AND S. Gr. B. OOOMBS, OF SOUTH READING, MASSACHUSETTS.
IMPROVED APPARATUS FOR CARBONIZING AIR FOR lLLUMlNATlNG PURPOSES.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 43,264, flated June 2l, 1864.
To all whom t may concern:
Be it known that I, WARREN A. SrMoNDs, of Boston, inthe county of Suffolk and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and Improved Method for Oarbonizing Air for Illuminating Purposes; and I do hereby de-kr clare that the following is a full and exact description thereof, reference being Vhad to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon.
The nature of my invention consists in the construction of a cylindershaped vessel or reservoir, set horizontal in a suitable frame, with two, four, six, or more partitions so arranged that the said reservoir may be divided into several equal compartments, with an independent sectional wheel to revolve in each compartment, the shaft of which to have a bearing in the center of each end of said vessel or reservoir, through which air may be forced with a pump or bellows attached to gear-wheels and operated with weights or springs for carbonizing the air for illuminating purposes.
To enable others skilled in the art to make and use my invention, I will proceed to describe its construction and operation.
Figure. l is a perspective view of my appayratus as used for carbonizin g the air for illu minating purposes.
Letter A is a reservoir of a cylinder shape fastened into frame E.
Letter B is a pressure-meter or pump, connected at the outlet c with lead pipe to the inlet d on the carbonizer A.
Letter D is a frame connected to one end of frame E for the shafting and gear-wheels, and so arranged that they may be operated with a .chain and weights (very much like a clock) and operate both the meter B and the sec tional wheel within the cylinder A by being connected with gear-wheels to the shaft L at one end of cylinder A, and to the shaft j", which projects through the top part of frame l).
Letter U represents a reservoir or holder for the reception of carbonized air after being forced through cylinder A and its compartments l 2 3 4, previous to its distribution through pipes to the burners. It also answers as a regulator to the pressure of air, and gas cock 1, near the bottom of one end of reservoir A,is for drawing off the liquid when too heavy for vaporization. Cock 2 upon the upper end of pipe 3 is for filling the reservoir A about one-third full, or to the ventcock 3, which should be open while filling said vessel or reservoir with very light and volatile naphtha, such as is produced from coals or petroleum oils.
To operate the above machine or apparatus, cylinder A should first be filled with very light and volatile naphtha, through cock 2, about one-third full, which cock 3 will indicate when open 5 then wind up the chain h with suflicient weight attached to one end over the spigotwheel 4 on the lower shaft with a crank-key upon the shaft 5, after which the air will be forced from the pressure-1neter or pump B, through outlet c and inlet d, into and through the top of one end of cylinder A into `chamber l, through which the air is forced downward and through the fibrous material attached to a section of wheel H, in each compartment under partition a, into chamber 2, through which it passes upward through a second section of wheel H over partition b into `chamber 3, thence downward through third section of wheel II and under partition a into chamber 4, up and through the fourth section of wheel H, to and through the outlet 8, into the reservoir and regula-tor O, from which it is forced through pipes to the burners.
A represents an interior and sectional view ofthe reservoir or carbonizer with its partitions, shaft, and sectional wheel. Partitions a c are arranged crosswise of the cylinder and soldered upon the inside tight around the top and sides downward to within about one and onehalf inch of the top of shaft L. bis a partition with an aperture or opening straight across the top and bottom of about one and one-half inch,and soldered tight around the t 4, sides with a hole in the center for the shafts."v
to revolve. H H H H are wheels with two sets of spokes, one set at each end of the hub of each wheel,which are made fast to shaft L. Each spoke is perforated with holes close together and at right angles with each other, for the purpose of working cotton wicking or other fibrous material through all the holesin a circular form from the hub to the end of the spokes, and likewise the same at right angles or across from one spoke toits opposite on the saine hub, and said wheels to be of such diameter and width, when attachedto the shaft L, as not to rough or create friction when made to revolve in the chambers and between the partitions a b a, inside ofthe cylinder or reservoir A. Shai'tL has a bearing upon the inside and center ot' head P, and passes horizontally through the center of said cylinder and partition b, and through head S, upon which is a stuffing-box to be made tight around shaft L, said sectional Wheel to revolve through volatile liquids for facilitating in the vaporization when used for the purpose herein described.
Fig. 2 is a perspective end view showing the frame E, with the cylinder A fastened thereon.
Fig. 3 represents an end view of the construction of the sectional Wheels used for as sisting in the vaporization of volatile liquids for carbonizing the air for illuminating` purposes..
I do not claim as. my invention a single or Iundivided cylinder; but
Vhat I claiin as my invention, and desire toV secure by Letters Patent, is-
l. The cylindrical vessel or reservoir divided into chambers, With partitions arranged and constructed as herein set forth and described.
2. The construction and arrangement of a sectional Wheel when operated as herein specified.
3. The sectional wheel made fast to the shaft L, when arranged Within asectionally-divided vessel or reservoir, and operated for carbonizing theairfor illuminating purposes, as herein specified and setforth.
