Filed: 1912-04-24
Granted: 1912-10-03
Abstract: 9728. Coles, G. J. April 24. Couplings, automatic, with means for connecting the brake and like pipes. The outlet r of the brake pipe is arranged in the side of a spring- pressed projecting member p formed with a recess q into which the member p on the opposing coupling-head enters, and a chamber n, formed in one with the member p, communicates by a hollow rod k with a cylinder f connected by a passage g with the brake pipes on the vehicle. A piston j on the end of the rod k is pressed by a spring m normally to close the passage g. When two vehicles come togther, the ends x of bell-crank levers v come into contact, and, through a collar z on the rod k, move the piston j to clear the passage g. The invention is described as applied to a coupling nf the kind described in Specification 12,419/08 in which a projection b with a notch c enters a recess d in the opposing coupling-head and is locked by a pivoted transverse catch e. To keep the pipes closed while the vehicles are being coupled, valves may be arranged to be operated by the rise and fall of the catches e. In addition to pipes coupled as above, other pipes may be coupled simultaneously by arranging a passage 2 on the projection b to connect with a passage 3 in the bottom of the recess d into which it enters. The coupling-head is formed with a hook 20 for non-automatic coupling.

Title: Improvements in or connected with Oil Vapour Burners.
Inventor: EHRENREICH KARL
IPC: F23D11/44
Filed: 1912-09-19
Granted: 1913-04-17
Abstract: 21,355. Ehrenreich, K., and Lehner, L. Sept. 19. Vapour burners; vaporizing - apparatus; oil reservoirs.-In vapour burners in which crude or lamp oil passes from a reservoir 1 and by a pipe 4 to a heating-chamber 5 before it passes by a pipe 20 to the burner 7, any vapour that may be formed in the heating-chamber passes through pipes 9, 13 to the burner. To prevent vapour pressure in the chamber 5 from stopping the flow of oil from the reservoir 1, a continuation 10 of the pipe 9 conducts vapour from the chamber 5 to the space above the oil in the reservoir. A float valve 2.5 maintains the oil in the chamber 5 at a constant level. The pipes 9, 13 are connected by a reducing-valve 12, and vapour passing through them is burned in a perforated ring burner 15 surrounding, and separated by an air space 16 from, the main burner 7. The flow of oil into the vaporizing- chamber 14 of the burner are regulated by a valve 21. An inverted cone 19 in the chamber 14 assists the formation of vapour, which issues from upwardly-inclined outlets 17 formed opposite the vapour outlets in the ring burner 15.

The liquor is withdrawn for filtration by a pipe 11. Any scale falling from the sides is caught on a screen 12. In a modification with internal circulating-pipe 13, Fig. 4, the liquid is delivered by a pump 14 to a series of troughs 19, and overflows in drops. A slight vibration is imparted to the troughs by mounting the motor 20 close to them. The shaft 21 may be extended downwards through the tube 13, terminating in blades 23. Air may be introduced by a fan 27 for cooling purposes.

Filed: 1913-05-27
Granted: 1914-05-27
Abstract: 12,365. Heinemann, A. May 27. Propylene is prepared by the interaction of acetylene and methane in the presence of a catalyst consisting of a common metal such as iron, copper, nickel, aluminium, and silver, together with a rare metal such as platinum, palladium, and iridium. The mixture of gases is heated or subjected to the action of actinic rays or silent electric discharges. In preparing the catalyst, a porous body such as pumice-stone is coated with copper, for example by electrolysis or reduction of a copper salt, and the mass is then dipped into a salt of a rare metal such as a platinum chloride and dried, and the salt is then reduced. The common metals may also be used finely divided or in strip form, such as copper gauze, copper wool, aluminium turnings, or magnesium strip. These metals are dipped into a solution of a rare metal salt such as a platinum or palladium chloride, and the rare metal deposited by electrolysis.
