Title: Improvements in or relating to apparatus for the delivery of lubricants and the like
IPC: F16N11/10
Filed: 1947-08-08
Abstract: 637,883. Pump mountings. SPINKS, S. A. E., and WAKEFIELD & CO., Ltd., C. C. Aug. 8, 1947, No. 21994. [Class 102(i)] In an apparatus for delivering lubricants from a container a delivery pump is supported on a part arranged in fluid-tight sliding engagement with the container so that it remains in contact with the surface of the lubricant therein as the lubricant is delivered by the pump and the inlet of the pump communicates with an aperture in said supporting part. A pump 28 and driving motor 44 are enclosed in a housing 16 and supported on a presser plate 19 having attached to its periphery a flexible cupshaped washer 20 which moves in sliding engagement with the inner walls of a container 11 as the lubricant is pumped therefrom through the pump discharge pipe 38. The presser plate 19, which may be of a flexible nature, has an aperture therein for the pump suction pipe 26. The housing 16 slides in guides 15 attached to a plate 12 secured to the rim of the container 11. Specification 460,607 is referred to.

Abstract: 1,128,543. Friction clutches. AUTOMOTIVE PRODUCTS CO. Ltd. 4 May, 1967 [18 May, 1966], No. 22120/66. Headings F2C and F2L A clutch which is particularly suitable for motor cycles comprises a driven plate 1 which is clamped between a flywheel 5 and a pressure plate 6 by a diaphragm spring 15 which reacts against a cover 10 which is secured at its inner periphery to an input shaft 12. As shown in Fig. 1 the clutch is disengaged by a push rod 23 slidable within an output shaft 26 and acting on a release bearing 21 carried by the pressure plate. In the modification shown in Fig. 3, the clutch is disengaged by a pull rod 30 slidable in a bore in the input shaft. The pull rod is actuated by a cam device comprising balls 36a in cam grooves in fixed and movable discs 34, 35. Disc 35 is given a rotary movement by a Bowden cable connected to a handle bar mounted clutch lever, the balls camming the disc axially, thus shifting the rod 30 to declutch. As an alternative to mechanical actuation, both the push rod of Fig. 1 and the cam device of Fig. 3 could be actuated hydraulically.

Abstract: 1382154 Junction pieces R & G SLOANE MFG CO Inc 11 May 1972 [1 June 1971] 22224/72 Heading F2G In plastics junction pieces formed with sockets 12, 112, the sockets are thickened eccentrically at their bases, the thickening at 14, 114 being greater than that at 18, 118. By making the ratio of the thickness at 18 or 118 to the outside diameter of the fitting equal to the ratio of the wall thickness of the pipe to its outside diameter, the fluid pressure is prevented from expanding the junction-piece more than the pipe, thus ensuring the security of the bonded spigot and socket joints.

Title: Improvements in method and apparatus for distillation of carbonaceous material
IPC: C10B1/04
Filed: 1924-09-22
Abstract: 238,723. Marks, E. C. R., (Catlin Shale Products Co.). Sept. 22, 1924. Carbonizing processes.-Shale is distilled in a descending column in which a zone of combustion is maintained at the lower part by supplying a mixture of air and incombustible gas. The amount of the air-gas mixture is regulated to maintain a distillation zone above the combustion zone, and the proportions of the mixture are adjusted to prevent combustion in the distillation zone from which the gases and vapours are led off. for the recovery of the volatiles. A temperature of about 800‹ F. is maintained above the combustion zone. The material is fed from a hopper H past a spreader I into the distillation zone through which it passes to the combustion zone and ash zone. the ashes being discharged bv a shaking grate D into a pit F, a gas distribution space being left over the ashes in the pit. Air from a pipe N mixed with gases consisting of nitrogen, carbon dioxide or a little carbon monoxide from a pipe G enters through nozzles g' below the grate. Combustion in the fuel bed distils off the vapours, which, together with the hot gases escape through a pipe I<1>. serving to preheat the fuel, and pass to a condenser L. The condensates are withdrawn through a pipe S<1> and the gases remaining are forced by a pump M<1> through the pipe G. If these gases contain a high proportion of carbon monoxide, they may be burned in a furnace with air and the combustion products passed to the pipe G.

Title: Gaseous phase reaction hydrocarbon cracking methods and apparatus
IPC: B67C3/26
Filed: 1964-05-29
Abstract: A gaseous phase reaction method of cracking a hydrocarbon comprises feeding the hydrocarbon in the gaseous phase to a compressing means including at least one movable compressing member, propelling said compressing member through motions which adiabatically compress the geseous hydrocarbon fed to said compressing means, such adiabatic compression being effected in the absence of combustion oxygen and the compression raising the temperature and pressure of the gaseous hydrocarbon to a level sufficient to cause thermal cracking of the hydrocarbon and the formation of cracked hydrocarbon products, and thereafter adiabatically expanding the cracked hydrocarbon products to cool the same and lower the pressure, the cracked hydrocarbon products thereafter being recovered.  The hydrocarbon feed may be admixed with steam prior to compression and the energy released by adiabatic expansion of the cracked hydrocarbon products may be used to compress feed hydrocarbon which may be preheated by indirect heat exchange with the cracked hydrocarbon products. Apparatus used may comprise in combination a conventional compressor and a gas turbine or alternatively an internal combustion engine.  The following processes are referred to: naphtha thermal cracking, manufacture of styrene from ethylbenzene; manufacture of benzene by dealkylation of cyclized kerosine; manufacture of ethylene and butadiene by fission of cyclohexane, and the manufacture of pure benzene and toluene from crude benzene.  In Fig. 1 (not shown) naphtha is preheated in heat exchanger (7) supplied with hydrocarbon products from turbine (4), mixed with steam from steam turbine (6) and is then heated to about 450 DEG  C. in superheater (1). The naphtha-steam mixture is adiabatically compressed in compressor (2) to 46 atmospheres and 800 DEG  C. and is fed to cracking furnace (3) and then to turbine (4) for adiabatic expansion and cooling to 450 DEG  C. and atmospheric pressure. The cracked hydrocarbon products are finally passed through naphtha feed heat exchanger (7), feedwater heat exchanger (8) and purification unit (9) and contain chiefly, ethylene, propylene, butylene, methane and ethane.
