SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 519,040, dated May 1, 1894. I
Application filed October 25,1893.
To alt whom it may concern:
-1 3e If. known that I, ARTHUR G. GLASGOW, a citlzen of the UnitedStates, residing in Lonvdon,in the countyof Middlesex, England, have lnvented a certain new and useful Improvement n Tater-Gas Apparatus, of which the following 1s a true description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which form a part hereof. i
My invention relates to Water gas apparatus, particularly to such apparatus as are provided with suitable conduits leading from above and below the grate, or other support, for the mass of incandescent carbon which serves to decompose the steam and form water gas so that the gas can be made both upand down; and the main object of the invention- 1s to so arrange the openings of'these two conduits into a common conduit that the hot gases issuing from one conduit will not im p nge on the opening of the other and pro vlde a common valve to close alternately both of these openings My invention will be best understood as explained in connection with the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a side elevation partly in sect on of an apparatus embodying my inven- 131011. Fig. 2 is a plan view partly in section on the line m-a: of Fig. 1. Fig.3 is a view partly in section on the line 'y y of Fig. 1. Flg. 4 is a view similarto that shown in Fig. 1, showing a modified form of gas valve, and Fig. 5 is a view illustrating another form of gas valves.
Ais a water gas generator having a cap B and a grate or other suitable support for the fuel as indicated at a.
G G are passages for the gas situated re-' spectively near the top and bottom of the generator, that is, above and below the grate or support a.
D D are gas conduits leading from the passages O C and open into a common conduit E; as-shown, their openings 01 d are close together so that a single valve H can be operated so as to alternately close the openings. Any suitable means can be employed to actuate the valve H.
$erial No. 489,110. (No model.)
meshes with the teeth of a rack h on the valve H which in this case is a slide valve; by turning the hand Wheel J the valve may thus be slid to cover either the opening (2 or d and thus permit the gas drivenfrom the generator by the steam blast to escape by means of either one of the conduits D or D as preferred.
In Fig. 4 the valve H is shown as a swing valve pivoted as at h aud provided with seating faces h h, on its front and back which are adapted to seat on the valve seats at d and d and so close one or the other of the conduits; this valve is shown operated by means of a handle or lever j having a rod j connectedtherewith which is secured to rock shaft 72. secured to the valve. In Fig. 5 a s'imilar'lever is shown operating a rocking cylinder valve pivoted at h It is evident that any construction of suitable valves may be employed to close alternately one or the other of the conduits D D. A construction including pivoted valves is not specifically claimed in this application but is made the subject of another application for Letters Patent, filed- October 25, 1893, and serially numbered 489,111.
G is a steam pipe leading from any suitable boiler a suitable valve (not shown) be ing of course arranged in the pipe whereby the steam can be turned into or off from the pipe; and-the pipe G is provided with two branches G G leadingto the top and bottom of the generator respectively; a valve 9 is arranged to direct the steam from the pipe G into one or the other of the branches G G Inorder to .operate this valve to properly direct the steam blast in accordance as the upper or lower conduit D or D is open I preferably connect the steam valve with'the means for operating the gas valve so that both can be moved at one operation; this can be done in any convenient manner. In Figs. 1' and 2 a small gear 9 on the stem of the valve g meshes with a gear g on the shaft I of pinion I and is adapted rtocope'rate the valve 9 so as to direct the steam into branches G or G as the valve His slid so as to cover the openings 01 or cl; in Figs. 4 and5 the valve g is shown with a projecting rod g which is loosely held between two lugs 9' on the rod j and serves to operate the valve 9 as the rod j is moved up and down to operate the valve H. In operation the valve His so turned as to open the conduit D leadingfrom the upper part of the generator, a fire is kindled on the grate a, a suitable blast is introduced and a deep bed of incandescent fuel is thus obtained, the blast gases escaping out the conduits D and E and serve when ignited by a suitable air blast in the carbureter F to heat this in the customary manner.
It will be observed that the valve H in each of the constructions is so arranged that it will be entirely out of the way of the intensely hot blast gases; the swing valve shown in Fig. 4; is adapted, when swung into the position indicated by the dotted lines, to be flush with the floor e of conduit E so that the hot gases will flow over the valve and will not impinge directly on any part of it; the same is true of the valve shown in Fig. 5. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1 the conduit E is preferably provided with an extension E, the conduit D opening directly into the conduit E and the conduit D into the extension E, the openings (1 d of said conduits being side by side as shown, when blasting, the valve is slid to cover the opening cl and is moved back into the extension E entirely out of the path of the blast gases the rack and pinion being beneath the disk, no dust or cinder, blown forward, canEinterfere with its working. After the blast has been shut oil the gas valve is moved to open the conduit D or D as maybe desired, and steam is turned into the pipe G the steam being turned into the opposite end of the generator from that from which the open conduit leads.
If desired, the gas valve shown in Fig. 8 can be clamped in the position shown by means of a screw M to prevent any tendency toward leaking, and as best shown in this figure, the valve is preferably provided with a toothed tail piece I-I forming a continuation of the rack 77. which tail piece is comparativelythin so that it will not interfere with the draft of gas through the conduit D but will serve to mesh with the teeth on the pinion when the valve is in its forward position covering the conduit D; the pinion I and this comparatively narrow rack are entirely in the conduit D'leading from the bottom of the generator, and so are never subject to the intense heat of the blast gases, and are at all timesfree from the dust and cinders blown forward during blasting.

In awater gas apparatus the combination with a generator having gas passages at its top and bottom, of separate conduits D D leading from said passages, a common conduit E into which the conduitsD D open, the openings cl d of the conduits D D'iiuto the conduit E being out of line with each other, a common valve arranged in conduit E to alternately close one or the other of the openings cl and d of the conduits D and D and means for operating said valve, all substantially as specified and so that when closing either of the openings said valve Wlll be out of the path of the hot gases issuing from the other.
