Title: Improvements in or relating to separators for removing entrained liquid from vapours
IPC: F22B37/28
Filed: 1959-02-03
Abstract: 888,804. Separating liquid particles from vapours. COMPAIN, J. D. Feb. 3, 1959 [Feb. 11, 1958], No. 3710/59. Class 123(3) A separator for removing liquid particles from a stream of vapour, particularly for use in an evaporator for concentrating sugar solution, comprises inclined baffle plates 10 which at their sides and lower edges are secured to the wall 1 of the evaporator, &c., whilst their free upper edges merge into downwardly-directed flanges 2 carrying inwardly-turned channel sections 3 which serve to collect liquid deposited as the flow of vapour reverses in direction above the channels as indicated by the arrows. The channel sections 3 have drain tubes 5 which return the collected liquid to the bulk of liquid in the heating section H of the evaporator. In a modification, Fig. 5, baffle skirts 14 with their lower edges bridged by plates 16 having further drain tubes 18 are provided to guide the vapour around the channel sections 3 and divert it upwardly between adjoining flanges 2.

Abstract: 1377367 Extruding FIELDING PLANT DESIGN Ltd and G W GRANT 8 Feb 1972 [8 Feb 1971] 4112/71 Heading B3P An hydraulic extrusion press has a die changing mechanism with a die carrier 1 which simultaneously moves a die from the press axis to an unloading station Y and a die from a loading station Z to the press axis. The carrier preferably has only three arms although more arms are provided if there are more stations such as inspection and trimming stations. The dies are loaded and unloaded by a pair of axially aligned hydraulic rams 7, 8, Fig. 2A, at each station. At the unloading station the rams combine to clamp the die 4 and its backing ring 5 for removal to a clamping device 18 which holds the backing ring while the die falls into a raised shoot 21 and rolls to a cleaning station 24. The die holder 6 is cleaned at the unloading station by a brush 26 with centrifugal arms 27. The brush 26 may be mounted on a pendulum arm 31 or on the front of the ram 8. At the loading station a pad of glass lubricant 36 may be loaded into the die holder recess 25a by a pivoted arm 38. The pad is pushed into the recess by the ram (8<SP>1</SP>), Fig. 2B (not shown), which acts on a plate (41) on an arm (42) pivoted to bring the plate into position. The die may be unloaded with the backing ring if desired.

A blank for a carton having side panels 2A, 2, 8 and imperforate end panels 5 is formed with interengaging slots 6 and tongues 9 and has a number of interlocking wing parts 11, 13, 15, 18 which overlap the end panels 5 and hold the carton erect. To erect the carton the blank is folded so that panel 8 overlaps panel 2A, tongues 9 entering slots 6; one end of the carton, namely that formed by the upper part of the blank in Fig. 1, is then closed by folding the end panel 5 inwards, followed by the wing parts 11, 13, 15, the parts 11, 13 being inserted through apertures 17 in parts 15. A projection 21, extending in the opposite direction to the tongues 9, is then inserted into a slit 20, thus holding the carton erect with one end open. The carton may then be filled and this end closed in a similar manner. To open the carton it is gripped in one hand and the tab 10 is pulled with the other, the whole carton then opening out flat. In a modification the projection 21 and the slot 20 are located in panels 8 and 2B, respectively, in which case one of these panels need not carry any wing parts.

Abstract: 124,546. MeGuckian, A. A. Sept. 9, 1918. Thrashing-machines.-In a machine for thrashing or de-seeding flax and like crops, the bolts are knocked off and opened by beaters as the flax &c. is fed through the machine between endless-belt conveyers with the stalks lying across the belts and the heads projecting over a grid, the beaters being made extra deep at their outer ends so as to knock or shake out loose bolls from the heads of the flax as they pass over an opening at the end of the grid. The flax is fed on to a platform y and between the conveyers a, b which carry it forward with its heads projecting between the beaters f, g and the grid d. The seed passes through the grid and a shaking sieve d<1> into a box h from which an elevator raises it on to a sieve l in a chamber l', where it is subjected to an air current from a fan i. The cleaned seed finally passes out of the machine through a box l<4> and outlet l<2>. Dust, chaff, &c. are blown into into a chamber l<5>, and unbroken bolls are delivered by a shoot l<3> on to the inlet platform y. The beaters are made deeper at their outer ends f<3>, g<3> which project over an opening at the end of the grid. d. The beaters have a combined beating and rubbing action, being moved to and fro and up and down by cranks m, n passing through bearings which are movable in slots f<2>. g<2>. The crank-shaft m<1> is driven from the main shaft b<1> by belt gearing and fast-and-loose pulleys, and is connected to the crank-shaft n<1> by a link.

Abstract: 621,641. Clamps. NEVIN, J. G. Feb. 14, 1947. No. 4260. [Class 44] [Also in Group XXIII] A support 10 for holding a shoe during cleaning comprises a sole plate 11 with spaced ears 12 for engagement with the toe portion of the shoe, a heel plate 13 slidable lengthwise of the support 10 and having a part 131 for abutment with the back of the heel of the shoe, a rod 16 mounted to slide longitudinally on the support, a clutch plate 14 slidable with the heel plate so as to have'binding engagement with the rod 16 when in an oblique position, and a manual device for drawing the rod 16 forwardly to effect clamping of the shoe. The clutch plate 14 which is integral with the heel plate 13, is inclined and has a hole 15 whereby it fits slidably over the rod 16. The means for drawing the rod 16 forwardly consists of a lever 21 which is pivoted on the rod at the front of a wall 19 on the support and has cam faces 22 for coaction with corresponding faces 23 on the wall 19. When the lever 21 is rotated, the cam faces 22, 23 engage and cause the lever to act through a spring 24 to move the rod. forwardly ; a light spring 25a serves to return the rod 16 for the release of the shoe when the lever 21 is rotated to disengage the cam faces 22, 23. A tapered dovetail slot 32 is provided in the bottom face of the support for engagement with either of two corresponding dovetail projections 29, 31, Fig. 5, provided respectively on the end and bottom faces 28, 30 of a U-shaped screw clamp A. With this arrangement, the clamp may be screwed on either a vertical or horizontal member B, and the support may be mounted thereon in horizontal position by causing the slot 32 to engage the appropriate projection 29, 31. A projection 33 on the lever 21 is caused to overlie the face of the clamp A when a shoe is clamped on the support so as to prevent inadvertent removal of the support from the clamp.

Convention date, Feb. 17, 1934. [Class 56] In apparatus for tempering sheet glass, a glass sheet remains stationary while being heated and cooled, and the heating and cooling devices are so arranged that the cooling period follows the heating period without any time interval. In the construction shown in plan in Fig. 2, the glass sheet 1 is suspended vertically between two groups of electric heating resistances 2 placed in front of reflectors 3. Tubes 5 fixed against the backs of the reflectors and connected to air conduits are pierced with orifices to provide blowing nozzles 6 disposed between the reflectors. In another construction, shown in sectional elevation in Fig. 3, the glass sheet 1 is suspended between two groups of gas burners 10 alternating with blowing nozzles 11. This form of apparatus may be modified by arranging the blowing- nozzles in the side walls of two chests which are connected to a blower. In another modification, only one set of nozzles is used and they serve alternately as burners and as blowers. In a further modification, the blowing nozzles are used to suck away the products of combustion while the burners are in use. The apparatus may include means for moving the heating and cooling elements parallel with the sheet, for example with a rotary or reciprocating motion, in order to secure a more uniform distribution of the heating and cooling.
