Abstract: 10,253. Lecocq, E. G. A. May 13, 1912, [Convention date]. Coke ovens. - In an oven structure having regenerators beneath the ovens arranged at right - angles to the length of the battery, each regenerator is divided by walls 7 into a number of vertical chambers 3, 4, 5, connected together either in series or in parallel. In the construction shown two sets of regenerators are arranged to the right and left of a tunnel 6, Fig. 1, and are connected to collecting and distributing flues 13 in communication with a reversing-apparatus. Each regenerator group, comprising the chambers 3, 4, 5, opens into a conduit 9 connected to a flue 15 running the entire length of the oven. The flues 15 are in pairs beneath the floor of each oven and adjacent flues of adjacent pairs are connected at opposite ends to corresponding regenerator groups of the two sets. Assuming that the reversing-apparatus is adjusted so that the righthand flue 13 is open to the atmosphere, air passes through a regenerator group as shown by the arrows 20, Fig. 1, and is delivered from a flue 15 to alternate vertical combustion flues 17 of a heating-wall. Gas is supplied from pipes 18, and the products of combustion pass out from the remaining flues 17 to the adjacent flue 15 beneath the next oven, and thence through the regenerator to the left-hand flue 13, as shown by the arrows 22. The regenerators are in the same planes as the heating-walls, and space is thus allowed beneath the soles of the ovens for the flues 15.

Abstract: 27,550. Beuttell, A. W., and Conrady, A. E. Nov. 29. Comparison photometers.-To measure or compare the illumination of a surface under different conditions as seen by the eye, the object O is viewed by an unshielded and by a shielded eye. By bringing the two brightnesses to equality, as by introducing a gradually thickening plane-parallel sheet of glass within the shield T for the covered eye, a measure of the difference can be obtained. Instead of a single object being observed, there can be one for either eye and, in this ca e, they may take the shape shown in Fig. 6, so that, together, they form a complete figure. By these means, illuminations for various conditions of colour and distinctness can also be compared.
Patent GB-191406887-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Yarn Winding Machines.
Inventor: WARDWELL SIMON WILLARD
IPC: B65H63/036
Filed: 1914-03-18
Granted: 1914-09-10
Abstract: 6887. Wardwell, S. W. March 18. Stop - motions; driving - arrangements.-In a winding - machine, the driving of the winding-spindle is controlled by a frame pivoted on an axis parallel to the spindle and adapted when the supply of yarn fails to be moved about that axis through connexions controlled by the yarn so as automatically to disconnect the spindle from its driving-mechanism. The frame, when moved, is locked automatically in position until released manually, whereupon it returns to its operative position and winding recommences. The winding - spindle 2, Fig. 1, is mounted in a bracket 5 secured to the frame of the machine. The spindle is driven through a gear 13 engaging a driving - gear. The gear 13 is connected to the spindle 2 by a friction clutch 14, 22, the part 22 being secured on the spindle. The clutch part 22 is depressed against the action of a spring 26 to release the gear 13, by a brake 28, which is prevented from turning by engaging the frame 5 and engages the part 22 by a conical clutch surface 29. The brake is controlled by a yoke 34 carried on a rod 35 mounted in a frame 36 pivoted to a bracket 39. The yoke 34 is maintained in its inoperative position by a projection 42 resting on a step 41 on the bracket 39. When the yarn breaks or fails, the frame 36 is swung about its pivots and carries the projection 42 from the step and allows the yoke 34 and brake 28 to fall under the action of gravity and of a spring 43. The brake opens the clutch 14, 22 and stops the rotation of the spindle as described in Specification 13,879/13. A stop 47, Fig. 3, limits the downward movement of the brake, and the engagement of the faces 65, 61 prevents the return of the frame 36 under the action of the spring 48. The spindle is re started by turning the handle 57, which raises the rod 35, by means of the cam-surface 44, thus raising the brake 28, disengaging the surfaces 61, 65, and allowing the spring 48 to swing the frame back into position. The yarn passes from the tension device 67, Fig. 4, under a bar 68, so that when the yarn fails, the bar 68 falls, rocking a shaft 69 and taking a pivoted member 50 into engagement with a rotating surface on the main frame, causing a wedging action and forcing the pivoted frame 36 outwards. The member 50 is provided with an extension 52 which is engaged, during the movement of the frame 36, by a finger 55, to hold the member 50 out of contact with the rotating surface on the main frame until the yarn itself reaches its proper tension.

Granted: 1915-12-02
Abstract: 11,271. Soc. Generale des Nitrures. Aug. 14, 1914, [Convention date]. Aluminium nitride.- Nitrogen, producer gas, and the like, used in the production of aluminium nitride, is heated to a temperature adjacent to or above that of the reaction, and then mixed with the aluminous material and carbon, the mixture be ing acted on for a very short time by an electric arc or other source of intense heat. The heating of the gas may he effected, as at the right. hand side of the furnace shown, by a highpressure arc between electrodes c in a small chamber, from which the arc is blown along the gas passage. Resistances, for instance co-axial tubes f as shown at the right-hand side of the furnace, may alternatively be used. The entering gas may otherwise be heated by recuperators. Gaseous products may be burnt for preliminary heating of the nitrogen &c. The aluminous material and carbon, which are fed by a tube a into a shaft B, may also be pre-heated, for instance by conduction from the adjacent gas heaters. From the shaft, the materials pass to a chamber C, into which the gas is conveyed by pipes bent horizontally so as to produce a whirling motion. A narrow passage directs the mixture of gas and solids through the middle of an arc chamber D, into which may project three-phase electrodes. A neutral point of the supply system may be connected to a carbon block E having a passage for the materials. The arcs are blown by the gas assisted, if necessary, by a magnet, into this passage, which may be narrowed at its upper end or at some other part. A chamber G receives the nitride, while the gas is conveyed to a dust-separator and thence, if required, to the preliminary heaters. Specifications 23,544/11 23,740/13, and 24,731/13 are referred to
