Abstract: 23,056. Fabry, R., and Linard, F. June 29, [date applied for under Sec. 103 of Patents &e. Act, A.D. 1883]. Coking.-The ovens are connected together in pairs completely independent of other pairs, in such a manner that the gases from each pair are mixed together before entering the heating-flue. For this purpose, the charging-openings of each pair of ovens, i.e., of a heating-oven I and of a heated oven II, are connected by a passage B, whereby the gases from the oven II are conducted below the arch of the oven I. Here they are mixed with the gases from the oven I, and then the mixed gases enter the combustion galleries J, J<1> in the walls C, D. The gases again reunite beneath the sole of the oven I, and part of the mixture passes directly to the common collector, while another part passes through openings, not here shown, to the flue beneath the sole of the oven II, and thence to the collector. The coupling of the ovens in pairs in this way permits of one oven being recharged while the other member of the pair is in full carbonization, and of a continuous circulation of the ordinary amount of gas in combustion in the beating-flues in practically constant proportion to the quantity of air admitted at H, H<1>, I, I' to the flues. A damper may be mounted in the passage B for cutting off communication while the heated oven is being emptied.

Title: Improvements in Typewriters.
Filed: 1902-04-08
Granted: 1902-07-17
Abstract: 8191. Wise, W. L., [Pittsburg Writing Machine Co.]. April 8. Type-writers.-Relates to the " actions " and shift-mechanism of front-strike machines, and to the spacing-mechanism. The frame of the machine comprises a horizontal portion bearing standards B, which support the paper carriage, and shorter standards E formed with grooves to receive the trunnions D of the type-bar and key-lever basket C, which is shown detached in Fig. 2. The basket supports the type-bars H, key levers J, and intermediate levers M, and it is adapted to be rocked upwards on its trunnions D, for change of case, by means of a lever 3, which acts on a shoe 4 attached to the block G which forms the rear end of the basket. The block G is grooved at b to receive the type - bar division plates c. Located between the division plates are the type-bars H, which are pivoted on a segmental rod d. Projecting downwards from the middle of the basket is a vertical plate I, slotted to form a comb f for the reception of the rear ends of the key levers J. Springs N tension the key levers upwards and keep them in place in the comb, and their front ends are guided in a second comb g. The key levers are connected to the typebars by intermediate levers M pivoted on a segmental rod m. The rear sockets i of the intermediate levers engage the heels of the typebars, as shown in Fig. 2. The vertical portions l of the levers M are of progressively-increasing length from the centre of the machine outwards, and are provided with cam slots q with which engage pins n projecting laterally from the key levers J. The arm 3 which lifts the basket for change of case is carried by a rock-shaft 2 from which arms 5 extend forwards. The arms 5 are connected by a counterweight 6 of sheet lead, which nearly balances the weight of the basket C. For the sake of convenience a shift key 7 is provided at each side of the keyboard. The shift-key levers are pivoted at 8, and are connected by links with the arms 5, so that their depression causes the shaft 2 to be rocked and the arm 3 thrown upwards. A locking-lever 10 enables the arms 5 to be permanently depressed for writing in capitals. A universal bar 14 underlies the key levers, and forms the front part of a space frame 12 extending from the rock-shaft 11 which carries the dog rocker 15. The pivoted space-bar 16 at the front of the keyboard actuates an arm 20 pivoted on the shaft 2 and crossing the universal bar 14. An adjustable bearing strip or plate 25 enables the normal height of the bar 14 to be varied, thus making the feed of the carriage earlier or later with respect to the movement of the key levers.

Patent GB-190223903-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Hydraulic Valves.
Inventor: GRAHAM JOSEPH WILSON
Filed: 1902-11-01
Granted: 1903-10-01
Abstract: 23,903. Graham, J. W., and Colley, T. H. Nov. 1. Lift valves; equilibrium valves; multiple - way valves ; actuating valves.- Relates to the constructionof valves in which hydraulic pressure is used, applicable to single-working valves, double or quadruple valves, or stop-valves. Fig. 1 shows the construction as applied to a hydraulic crane. The valve is constructed in duplex form with inlet and outlet piston valves a contained in parallel chambers connected to one common service branch o. The lower part of each piston valve is made conical, and rests upon a seat c, and is connected to the upper piston part by a narrow neck. A central passage through each valve is closed at the top by a small spring-depressed pilot valve d, which slides up and down in the cover e ; a winged spindle h of smaller diameter passes through the valve, and through a stuffing-box and gland i to rest on a cam or tappet j formed on a shaft k, which is operated by a hand-lever l. The inlet orifice m opens from the main into the inlet valve above the main seat c, so that the valve is kept closed when the pressure is on. The orifice n in the outlet valve lies below the seat, so that the valve is kept closed by any pressure within the case. The service orifice o is situated midway in the passage connecting the two valve cases. When the cam shaft k is turned to operate the valve, the pilot valve d is raised and the pressure is thereby gradually conveyed past the loose-fitting piston and down the central port to the underside of the valve, and thence through the connecting- passage to the top side of the outlet valve, which is thus securely closed, and to the crane along the service branch o ; the inlet valve during this action opens fully, and attains a state of equilibrium. The shaft h is moved in the opposite direction to cut off the pressure, the outlet pilot valve being first opened. The cam shaft is formed with two flattened recesses running to the centre of the shaft; one spindle rests at one side of one recess, and the other spindle at the opposite side of the other recess, so that, as one spindle is raised, the other is lowered. For this purpose, the valvechambers are placed obliquely with respect to the direction of the shaft k.
