Granted: 1912-07-18
Abstract: 9269. Berlin-Anhaltische Maschinenbau Akt.-Ges. Nov. 25, 1911, [Convention date]. Cooling discharged materials.-In an apparatus for quenching coke, of the kind in which a perforated coke receptacle is lowered into a tank of water or other liquid, the receptacle is so constructed that the quenching- liquid does not come into contact with the incandescent coke until the receptacle has sunk some distance in the liquid under the weight of the charge. The quenching - tank 2 is carried by a travelling framework 1 and is fed from a reservoir 5 through a pipe 4. The receptacle 6 has a perforated false bottom 12 for supporting the coke, and a solid bottom 11 extended beyond the side walls of the receptacle and provided with short end-plates 13 to form passages 14 leading to the space 15 between the two bottoms. When empty, the receptacle floats with the upper edges of the plates 13 above the surface of the liquid, but as soon as the coke is fed in it sinks, and the liquid passes into the space 15 and through the perforated bottom 12. When the receptacle reaches the bottom of the tank, slides 17 are operated to uncover openings 16 in the end plates 13 which allow the liquid to drain off when the coke is discharged. The receptacle is lifted by a winch 9 and is tipped to deliver the coke through a shoot 21 by guide rails 8, 22. A chimney 20 is fitted above the tank to carry off the fumes.

Abstract: 29,440. Brown, C., and Brown & Barlow. Dec. 21. Spray carburettors. - The pressure in the mixing-chamber near the liquid-fuel nozzles is maintained constant by means of an automatic throttle 6 which slides in the passage between the air-inlets 3, 4 and the engine admission pipe 5. The throttle is attached to a piston 8, one or the other side of which is put into communication with the mixing-chamber by a valve 12. The valve is controlled by the pressure in the mixing-chamber acting upon a diaphragm 14. The throttle 6 first uncovers the supply of hot air at 4 and then ordinary air at 3 ; it also exposes the fuel-nozzles in succession. A manuallycontrolled throttle 17 and pilot jet 18 may be employed.

Granted: 1914-01-08
Abstract: 5158. Johnstone, J. R., and Ferguson, T. March 1. Make - and - break switches, mechanical. - A make - and - break switch comprises contacts f, j mounted on pivoted arms a, g, the former being oscillated by means of a crank c, and the latter being controlled by a spring so that it follows the movements of the arm a. Under these circumstances the circuit f, j is not broken. When however, an electromagnet n, Fig. 3, places a block or lever l in the path of the arm g and so arrests its return movement, th e c o ntinued oscillations of the arm a cause the circuit to be repeatedly broken and remade. As shown in Fig. 1, a stepped block m is employed, whereby the arm g is arrested in different positions to vary the relative time during which the contacts remain open at each oscillation of the member a. The core r of the solenoid p is connected to the arm n through a lost-motion connexion, and a pad t is placed adjacent to the block m to relieve the pivot o from shock. Specification 20,586/11 is referred to.

Granted: 1914-03-05
Abstract: 5805. Steljes, W. S., and Rebesi, Ltd. March 8. Key interlocks; margin stops; line-locking devices. -The keyboard of a page-printing telegraph transmitter has a bar for locking each key depressed until another is depressed and an index for showing the line position of the type-wheels and locking all the keys when the end of a line is reached. (1) The key-levers c, Fig. 6, have depending hooks d, which press back the bar e, which then snaps forward and holds them down until another key is operated. (2) At each movement, the bar e, by means of the pawl n, Fig. 3, ratchet-wheel m, and gearing, turns a screwed shaft moving a nut carrying an index over a scale. At the end of the line, the nut engages an adjustable collar, locking all the keys. The keys can be released by the key-lever c', which disengages by means of the arm c<2> the pawls n, n<1> and allows the index to be pulled back by means of a spring drum j<3> and a cord. In a modification, each key-lever has a pawl acting on one of a set of ratchet-wheels on a shaft, the shaft being moved to disengage the ratchet-wheels from the pawls when the release lever is operated. The screwed rod may be dispensed with by causing the ratchet-wheels to turn a drum around which is wound a cord attached to the index. The index may operate an alarm at the end of each line.

Abstract: 14,928. M³ller, A. F. June 28. Wet-separating. - The solid residues from furnaces are sifted to remove ashes &c. and the larger material containing clinker and fuel is separated by means of a liquid the specific gravity of which is less than that of the clinker and greater than that of the fuel. The liquid used may be dilute molasses, or waste liquors from cellulose or alkali industries, or mixtures thereof. The material to be treated is raised by an elevator 2 to a trough 3 mounted on springs and provided with removable sieves of different meshes, the trough being reciprocated by a crank 4 and agitated by tappets or pawls. The large material falls into liquid in a vessel 9 from which it is raised to the separator 12 in which is mounted a rotating series of sieves 37 which force the material through the liquid 35. The fuel, which is lighter than the liquid, rises and is lifted by the screens and deposited on a conical surface 41 which leads to a lateral discharge, while the clinker sinks and is carried by brushes 39 to an outlet 40. In a modification, the conical surface 41 is replaced by a chamber open at the top and containing a worm conreyer, and the sieves 37 may be knocked during rotation by a tapping-device.

The inclined bed 1 comprises two bevelled guide-jaws 2, 3, Fig. 3, the latter of which is adjustable; and is pivoted at one end to the barrel a' and adjustably clamped at the other end by means of a bolt and nut 20 engaging slotted lugs 16 on the inclined bed. The cutter-block C is reciprocated through the bevel-wheels 22 and connecting-rod N either by hand or by means of a power-pulley 25. The cutter-bed 30 is hinged at 36 to the cutter-block under the control of a spring 29. Attached to the cutterblock is a two-armed lever D, one arm 38 being bevelled. At the end of the cutting-stroke, the other arm 39 is arranged to contact with one lug on the barrel and push the arm 38 under the cutter-bed, thus raising the cutter-bed and cutter from the pencil against the action of the spring 29; at the end of the return stroke, the arm 39 contacts with a second lug and releases the arm 38, allowing the spring 29 to restore the cutter to its cutting position. The pencilholder comprises an outer tube L, Fig. 17. formed at one end with a ratchet-wheel 57 and coned at the other end, and an inner clamping- tube M, Fig. 18, tapered at one end, which is forced into the outer tube L by means of a handle F. The tube M is slotted at its tapered end and is formed with internal screw-threads or indentations 59 for gripping the pencil. A number of auxiliary tubes fitting inside the tube M may be furnished in order to adapt the holder to all sizes of pencils &c. The ratchet 57 is rotated from the reciprocating cutter-block C by forming the block C with a bevel 42, Fig. 8, which actuates a tappet 43, Fig. 1, operating a lever 44 at one end of a spring-controlled spindle 45, at the other end of which is a lever 53 carry ing a pawl which engages the ratchet 57. The pencil-holding tubes are retained in position during their rotation in the barrel a<2> by a screw 60 engaging an annular groove 57<1> on the outer tube L. Near the point, the pencil is supported in a cup-shaped member 63, Fig. 1, adjusted by a screw 64. The adjustable guidejaw 3 supports a bracket having a serrated slot 12 in which an adjustable gauge-block 9 may be clamped, the block 9 also serving as a guard on to which the cutter is lifted at the end of its cutting-stroke. Holes a<3>, a<7> are formed in the frame a to receive respectively a pusher-rod a<4> for the pencil &c. and the auxiliary pencilholding tubes. The bevel-wheels 22 may be provided with metal guards G secured to the inclined bed 1.
