Description

C. A. RUSH.
SPARK ARRESTER.
APPLICATION FILED DEG.1,1909` as onirica.
CHARLES A. RUSH, OF LA GRANGE, ILLINOIS.
SPARK-ARRESTER.
Specification of Letters Yateiit.
Application filed December 1, 1909. Serial'No. 530,822.
T o all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, CHARLES A. RUSH, a citizen of the United States, residing at La Grange, county of Cook, and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Sparicchi-esters, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to improvements in spark arresters and'has for its object the provision of a device of this character which shall be inexpensive of construction and eflicient in operation.
motor may be Iconnected ip A further object ofl my invention is to provide a spark arrester especially adapted for use on a locomotive stack havin(r means 'incorpoiiited therein for intercepting and 'collecting soot and finders.
@ther objects will appear hereinafter.
lVith these objects in View my` invention consists in the novel construction and arrangement of parts which will be hereinafter fully described and more particularly pointed out in the appended claims.
My invention will be best understood by reference to the accompanying drawings forming a part of 'this specification, and in which,
Figure l is' a partial side elevation of the locomotive .stack embodying my invention the upper portion being shown in section, and Fig. 2 is a bottom plan View of a rotatable member provided in the device.
Referring now to the drawings l indicates a portion of the front of a locomotive and 2 a locomotive stack, the lower portion of the latter being of the usual cylindrical form. Around the top of the stack an annular pocket 3 is formed, and extending inwardly from the exterior wall thereof is a .flange 4 adapted to deflect matter downwardly into said pocket. Mounted in the top of the stack and extending radially therein is a power shaft .5 and connected'.
therewith is a rotary steam motor G having,r 1 pe connection to the boiler of the locomo-` t.. A steain motor is preferred as steam is available butany other well known'su'itable provided, the pipe 7 being any suitable manner to the boiler of the locomotive. Arially mounted in stack 2 is a shaft'S having beveled gear connection with the shaft 5, the lower portion of the shaft 8 beingr pivoted in a diainetrically disposed member 9. Secured to the lower end of the shaft 8 is an inverted l cone shapedQ wire gauze member 10said shaft projecting through the apex of this member. Securedl to the exterior wall of the wire gauze member 10 are a series of propeller blades l1 which cause an upward flow of gas'througli said member and a radial flow of solid matter such as sootJ and cinders 'which are collected in the annular pocket 3, the gas of said member tending' also to deflect said solid matter radially. Cold air openings 12 are formed in the wall of the stack, and due to the inward and upward fiow of the same an induced draft is effected which augmente the effect of the forced steam draft in ordinary use.
lVhile I have shoitr \nt l. neem to be the preferable forinof my invention lt do not wish to be limited thereto as there might be. various changes made in the details of construction and arrangement ofl parts described without departingr from the spirit of rmy invention, and hence l desire to avail myself of such changes and modifications as fairly fall Vwithin the spirit andl scope of the appended claims. i
Having described my invention `what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letsaid mechanism and said stack being provided with cold air openings beiif/fth, said mechanism, substantially as described.`
2. .In a spark arrester, a stack and an annular pocket formed around the top thereof, g5
a'ylange extending inwardly from. theexal te'rior wall of sa1d\pocket, an inverted coneshapcd wlre gauzeanember adapted to rotate se y on an axis coincident with theaxis of said y staelg'and a series of propeller blades arf, ranged on the exterior surface of sald `rotatable member and adapted to induce an upward flow of gas thrpugh saicistack, the topwedge of -the peripheryoffs' d ftnember" being adjacent and above the p'laiieof the interiorl wall of said pocket so thatsoot and einders will be deflected and deposited in the latter by centrifugal force and the deflecting action of said member, substantially as described. 4 y
3. ln a spark arrester, a. stack, a radially -diposed power shaft mounted in the top cold air openings inthe `Walle of said tack, 10 thereof, an axially arranged drivenshaft substantially as described. having beveled gear connection with said In testimony whereof I have signed my power shaft, an inverted cone-shapedr -wlre name to this specification in the presence of 5 gauze member the apex of which is secured two subscribing Witnesses.
to said driven shaft vand adapted to rotate 1 i CHARLES A. RUSH. therewith, propeller blades'secured to the Witnesses: 4
exterior of said member, an annular pocket W. C. SMITH,
formed around the top of said stack, and ARTHUR A. OLsoN.
