SELDEN I. OLAWSON, F SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH.

FUME -.ARBESTEB.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented March 3, 1908.

Application filed May 20. 1907. Serial No. 374.743.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, SELDEN I. CLAwsoN, a citizen of the United States, residing at 'Salt Lake City, in the county of Salt Lake and State of Utah, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Fume-Arresters, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to fume arresters, and pertains especially to improvements upon my patent issued August 8, 1905, No. 796,956.

The object of this invention is to provide means revoluble in a body of water for carrying fumes through the water and for discharging the fumes laterally into the water below the top surface of thewater.

A further object of the invention is to provide, ina fume arres'ter, a pair of pipespne .of which is revolved withln the other for carrying fumes into a wheel revolubly contained in a body of water, and means for the exit of the fumes from such wheel into the water.

A still further object of the invention is to provide, in a fume arrester, a water-casing iaving a series ofbreak-water vanes, a wheel in the water and carrying a fume-pipe, by which the fumes are conducted into the wheel, means carried by the wheel for discharging the fumes from the periphery of the whee wheel. 7

Various other objects,- advantages and proved results are attainable by and through thespecial'construction and arrangement of the parts of this apparatus.

In the accom anying' drawings forming part of this app ication: Figure 1 is a side elevation of the apparatus. Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view. Fig. 3 is a cross section on the plane indicated by the dotted line rcm Fig. 2. Fig. 4 is a detail perspective view of the fume-ring. Fig. 5 is a detail elevation of provided with a pulley 5 driven by suitable power to revolve the shaft. A fume-pipe 6,

and suitable means for revolving the g whence they leads into a fumeipe 7 through which the shaft extends, an said pipe 7 has an open end which projects into the water at a distance below the surface of the water so that the pipe 7 containswater up to the water level, or for aportion'of its length.

The shaft has afume-wheel8 secured'thereto and revolved in the water by theshaft directly under the open end of the pipe 7, so as to leave a passage 9 between the said ipe end and the top of the wheel. Secure to the wheel and extending into the pipe 7, between the latter and the shaft is a fume-pipe 10, which has its open end projected above the water. The pipe 7 -is fixed or stationary and the pipe 10 is revolved in the pipe 7 by the shaft and the wheel.

The Wheel 8 is preferably composed of disks 11, and a ring 12, having serrations 13. The disks are assembled to clamp the ring'therebetween so that a portion of the ring proj ects beyond the eriphery of the'disks. The ring-opening an its contact disks form an annular fumeassage 14, from the ipe 10', to the serrate faces of the ring. The bot tom of the wheel is provided with counterbalances 15, and the ring is clamped into position by bolts 15. f

The tank 1 is provided with a series of break-water vanes 16, projecting radially from the tank so as to leave an interval or space between them and the periphery of the ring 12.

It will be seen that the'fumes are drawn into. the passage 14, by the revolutionof'the wheel, and discharged from said assage through the serrations of the ring; 't at the vanes 16, break or further agitate the water between the eriphery of the ring and the tank so that t e fumes may thoroughly mix or commingle with the water and that the fumes pass through and from the wheel through both sides of the ring into the water, are dispersed throughout the body of water.

It is obvious that only two wheel-disks may be employed for clamping the wheel therebetween; that the rin may be made integral with one of the dis s; that the size and number of the vanes may be varied as desired, and that various other mechanical changes and. e uivalent construction and arbe resorted to wit tion;

rangement of t e pgrts of the apparatus may 11 the scope. of this inven- Having thus described my invention What I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is 1. In a fume-arrester, a fume-wheel having an axial fumeipe leading into it, a ring carried by the w eel for discharging the fumes through the periphery of the wheel and forming an annular passage in the wheel from said pipe.

2. In a fume-arrester, the combination, with a suitable tank containing a body of water, a series of break water vanes within the tank, and the fume-pipes one within the other, of a fume-wheel revoluble in the water and having one of said pipes secured thereto for carrying the fumes from the other ipe into the Wheel, and a serrated ring by which the fumes are carried out of the Wheel.

3. In a fume-arrester, the combination, with asuitable tank containing a body of water, a pairof fume-pipes one revoluble within the other and both being partially within the water, and a driven shaft extending through said i es, of a fume-wheel secured to the shaft be? having the other of said pipes attached and leading thereinto, and fume-passages from the revoluble pipe through the periphery of the wheel.

In witness whereof I hereunto set my hand in the presence of two witnesses.
