Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented July 3, 1906.
Application filed September 7, 1905. Serial No. 277,342.
T at whom it may concern.-
Be it known that we, GAsToN HERVIEU, residing at 33 Rue Lamarck, and CHARLES THUILLET, residing at Rue Villedo, Paris, France, citizens of the French Republic, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in and Relating to Acetylene- Gas Generators; and We do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
This invention has for its object improvements in apparatus relating to acetylene-gas generation, and is especially designed for the purpose of feeding automatically to an acetyene-gas generator cylindrical or spherical carbid-cartridges.
The drawings accompanying this specification show one way of carrying out this invention with regard to an acetylene-gas generator.
Figure 1 is an elevation of a gas-generator with gasometer complete. Fig. 2 is a vertical section of the generator. Fig 3 is a vertical section of the apparatusfor distributing the cartridges, which view is drawn to a larger scale than the other figures. Figs. 4 and 5 are horizontal sections on the lines A A and B B, Fig. 3. Fig. 6 is a diagram showing the various positions of the cartridges in the distributer. Fig. 7 is a vertical section of a cartridge-holder.
The same numerals of reference are employed to denote the same parts in all the views.
The apparatus shown on the drawings consists of a generator 1, the outlet-tube 2 of which extends to the bell 3 of the gasometer 4, the construction of which is of no importance. The generator maybe varied, as the essential part of this invention consists of the arrangement of the cartridge distributer placed at 5; but we prefer to arrange the gasgenerator as follows: 1 is a tank which forms the generator. This tank has an inclined bottom and is divided into two partsbyapartition 9, one of which parts is again subdivided into two parts 6 and 7 and provided with a top 8. At the bottom of this-chamber a basket 10 may be placed, passingunder the partition 9. This basket is furnished with a handle 11 to facilitate manipulation. The basket is for the purpose of receiving the hausted from the generator. Between the compartments 6 and 7 are fixed one or more transverse partitions 12, thus dividing the whole chamber into two compartments, the first of which serves as a chamber for the gas, with which the exit-pipe 2 communicates, and the second compartment receives the cartridges as they are distributed and also conducts such cartridges to the basket 10. These cartridges are conducted under the compartment 6 by means of an inclined plane 14, which also prevents the gas from the cartridges escapin into the compartment 7 or into the distrlbuter 5 or cartridge holder 15 placed above.
The distributer 5 consists, essentially, of curved slides 16, 17, and 18 (forming a sinuous path to guide the cartridges) and movable parts for retaining the cartridges and liberating them one at a time. These movable parts consist of rollers 19, mounted on of which, 22, are carried at the side of the distributer 5. The sectors 21 are also connected rigidly by a cross-bar 23, to which is articulated an arm 24, which passes through an or lower the rollers 19. To efiect this, the arm 24 is connected by a flexible attachment 25 to a sliding piece 26, which is arranged so as to be actuated by a finger 27, fixed rigidly to the bell 3. Each time the bell descends sufficiently the arm 24 is raised and the rollers 19 are raised, as indicated at I, Fig. 6. The cartridge 28, which has been retained in the slides 18 by the rollers 19 is now liberated and falls into the generator, while the next cartridge 29 rests on the slide 16 and on the rollers 19.
As the bell 3 rises by the action of the gas generated by the cartridge 28 the rollers 19 descend, and the cartridge 29, resting on the rollers 19, can roll round the point of junction of the slides 16 and 18 and enter the slide 18 when the rollers 19 have arrived at the position III. The cartridge 29 then takes the position of the preceding cartridge, (indicated at 28,) so that at the next descent of the bell the rollers 19 can be raised afresh and pass above the cartridge 29, letting it fall into the generator at the moment when the rollers arrive in contact with the next cartridge 30, which then takes the position cartridges and for removing them when ex an axle 20, fixed to two sectors 21, the pivots.
opening in the distributer and serves to raise marked at 29. The diagram Fig. 6 indicates the geometrical lines of the slides 16, 17, and 18, and it only remains to observe that those parts of the slides on which the cartridges do not rest during their travel can be arranged otherwise or dispensed with entirely without inconvenience. This very simple method of distribution has the advantage of working without knocks or shocks, the column of cartridges rests constantly on rollers 19, and the movement is progressive, as each cartridge is only able to fall at the moment when the roller 19 is in a position under the next cartridge to prevent its falling. Further, only a small amount of force is required to move the distributer, because at no time have the rollers 19 to lift the bulk of the cartridges.
If necessary, the rollers 19 can be replaced by a long roller of any suitable form in longitudinal section.
31 shows a flap arranged under the distributer to prevent the steam or moisture from the generator acting on the new cartridges. This flap is opened by the weight of each cartridge, as at Fig. 3, the flap being returned to its normal position by any suit able means, such as a spring. (Not shown.)
The cartridge-holder or magazine consists of a box 15, closed at the top and open at the bottom, such box being fixed by means of a catch to the distributer. In order to hold the cartridges in the holder, a roller 32 is mounted on arms 33, which extend outside to a spur 34, carrying a handle 35. When the handle is raised, the roller 32 is brought to the opening in the box, thus preventing the cartridges from falling out. On arms 33 are formed hooks 36 to engage with alug 37 on the distributer, so as to fix the cartridge holder on this latter. On lowering the handle 35 the hooks 36 engage at the same time as the cartridges are being liberated; Lugs 38, formed on the distributer, keep the cartridgeholder in its proper position.
The cartrldge-holder can be of any suitable size, so that the cartridges may be in a straight line or in a zigzag line, as at Fig. 7.
Carbid cartridges are represented as being made of agglomerated carbid or inclosed in tubes of cardboard, paper, or other suit able material. The space between the partitions 12 forms a safety-chamber 39 to catch and conduct the gas which might escape from the compartment 6 in case the ap aratus should run short of Water or through extra pressure onthe bell.
Without departing from the present invention the method of transmitting the motiog of the bell of the mechanism can be varie What we claim as our invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States of America, is-
1. In an acetylene-gas generator, the comtributer mounted thereon and having its interior arranged at different inclines, a vibrating roller mounted on a sector in said inte rior, a gas-bell, and connections between said sector and said gas-bell, whereby the fall of said bell lifts said rollers and releases a cartridge, substantially as described.
