` A .CETYLENE-GAS GENERATOR.
To all 'whom 'it may concern.: A.
, Be itrknown that I, Jenni' J. Koitusii, a citizen of trie United States, residing Yat St.A Louis, in the btate of Missouri, have invented new and useful Improvements in cetylene-Gas Generators7 of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to acetylene gas gen- Y craters, and it consists in the construction V10 and arrangement of parts as will be hereinafter described and particularly pointed out in the claim. i
Referring to the drawings forming part of this specification and in which similar reference characters indicate like parts in both the views, Figure 1 represent-s an elevationl of niy improved generator; and Fig. 2 a vertical sectional view thereof.
The reference numerals 1 and Q indicate the generators proper, 3 the floating bell and l the main water tank. Inside of the generatois 1 and 2 are arranged the carbid holders divided by means of partitions 6 into several compartments. This container 5 is open at the top and each compartment is provided with a series of holes or perforatioiis 7 through its side, the perforations in each compartment being at a higher level than those in the next adjacent compartment.
Arranged above the generators 1 and 2 is the washing tank 8 from the top of which .extends a pipe 10 opening into the bell 3 above the water level. From each generator extends an inverted U-sh'aped pipe 9 Y which enters the washing chamber 8.
'Water is supplied to the carbid generators through pipes 16 and 17 which are united' 'at their top to vform a double funnel 15 and the lower end of the pipes 16 and 17 pass through watertight joints into chambers 18 and 19, which in turn are connected by pipes 20 and Q1 with the generators. Arranged above the funnel 15 is an adiustable spout 14 leading from a pipe 12 which in turn connects with a water tank such'as 11 placed at a suitable elevation. The pipe 12 is closed near the spout .14 by a valve 13, hereinafter referred to.
Water is supplied to the washing chamber 8 through a vertical pipe and funnel-24- To this iipe also is connected a discharge cock hereby the water in the washing chain.
and normally resting over the opeueud ot' a waste pipe 34. f
The operation of my improved generator is as follows: ll'ater from the tank 11 is admitted by means of the spout 14 into the pipe 1G (say) and gradually fills the chambei' 18 up tothe water level 22 before {lowing into the generator 1. It will be noted that this arrangement constitutes a water seal which will prevent the gas from flowing back through the pipe 16 and at the sametiine obviates the. use of troublesome valves. From the chamber 18 the water ows through the pipe :20 little by little into the chainher 1 and gradually rises therein until it reaches the lower setof holes 7 in the container 'It then enters that `coiu partnient of the container and attacks the contained carbid. The gas thus produced passes upwardthrough pipe 9 and after being purified by washing in the water contained in the chamber, it escapes through pipe 10 into the bell 3. The washing charner arrangement/'also has anotheradvantage in that it acts as' a water seal to prevent the gas from bell 3 flowing backward to the generator and thus escaping when 4the end of the generator is removed for the pur je of recharging the saine. In case the? ell 3 tends to rise too high owing to excessive pressure, the safety valve 32 will be opened and the gas allowed to escape .through pipe 34. In case the bell descends too low due to the fact that the gas is becoming exhausted, ball 26 drops into cup 27 and thereby turning the valve 13 permits a fresh supply of water to flow t0 the generating chambers. As the water continuesto rise in the generator 1 it successively reaches and `pouls through the orifices 7 in the various coniartments progressively. When the carhid has been entirely used up from all the compartments Wate continues to rise in the generator 1 until it. completely fills the same l and than' backs up in the pipeluntl the level indicated by the line 23 is reached. ItY
then otafows into pipe 1.7 gand acts upon It thusv be seen that lha-ve rovided an a paratuswhich isfree from valves and whic operatesvautomatically to maintain a proper `sup ly of gas in the bell4 at all and -it is t ought 4the numerous advantages of the device will be readily appreciated by those skilledin the art. .D
Having thus described my invention, I claim as new anddesire to secure by Let ters-Patent:
' generators therein, pipes space A structure of the character described comprising a main tank With adplurality of apart and having a Adouble funnel-secured thereto at -nected to t e chambers an unece their upper ends, a pipe arranged above the funnel and connected-'to a suitablewater supply, chambers. connected to said generstors, sai'` plurality of'pi es being conhavng their lower ends arranged above the bottoms thereof, the pipe above the funnel having a. valve therein, said valve being provided with a. lever pivotally connected therewith, said lever havingon one end a c up and on its otherend a weioht, and means ada ted to contact WithsaidB cup, a spout pivote. ly cone ,nected to said valve to permit of the same being interchangeable from one of the funnel plipes to the other, substantially` as spec'n ed. I
Y In testimony whereof, I ailix my signature in presence' of 'two witnesses.
