Granted: 1909-06-10
Abstract: 19,348. Carroll, J. E. Sept. 15. Spirits.-Means for artificially ageing or maturing spirits are provided in connexion with a patent still. The rectifier of a Coffey's still is divided by an imperforate diaphragm 11, and the vapours are led away from below the diaphragm by a pipe 13 to an apparatus 15, where they are mixed with air and superheated, and from which they are returned by a pipe 16 to the part of the rectifier above the diaphragm. The spirit passes away as usual by a pipe 17 and the aldehydes &c. pass away by a pipe 19. A heat-exchanger 14 is provided in the superheater circuit. The superheater 15 comprises a number of small pipes arranged in steam-jacketing pipes A, Fig. 2, coupled together by headers 33. The air is preliminarily heated in a coil 30 and enters the vapour space of the superheater by means of pipes 31. The small pipes are preferably made of copper or are copper-faced in order to increase their catalytic action.

Granted: 1909-07-01
Abstract: 3201. Krischer, P. Feb. 9. Overlap joints with longitudinal pressure and with yielding outer pipe; couplings with union nuts.-Couplings for connecting hose to cocks &c., of the type in which the hose is gripped on a conical tube by a nut and a hollow cone, are so constructed that the hollow cone is forced away from the hose when the nut is unscrewed. The hose d, Fig. 1, is gripped in known manner between the conical end b of the cock and the cone e by the nut f. The flange e<1> is threaded and screwed through the nut, so that, when the nut is unscrewed, its thread bears on that of the cone e and forces it away from the hose. In a modification the flange e<1> is not threaded, but a split spring ring is inserted in the space g to serve the same purpose. Figs. 6 and 7 show further modifications, in which the edge of the flange is grooved, the cone being forced off either by screws l or by two pins m united by a bridge. By duplicating the device it can be used for connecting two lengths of hose.

Abstract: 23,101. Barclay, J. G., and Barclay, A. N. Oct. 6. [Addition to 20,183/09.] Overwinding, preventing.-Comprises improvements in the device for preventing overwinding at the surface, and also means for preventing the cage from being dropped with force on to the bottom of the shaft. A slotted portion of a lever c is engaged by a catch a having a lug a<1> projecting into the path of the sliding weight b just above the end of its travel. The rod g, connected to the dog levers described in the parent Specification, passes through the lever c, attached to the end of which are weights suspended by rods c. Should the dog levers be operated, the rod g moves down without releasing the catch a. If overwinding at the surface occurs, the catch a is released, and the rod g is operated by the weighted lever c. To prevent excessive speed near the bottom of the shaft, a jointed arm o having a loose bolt in its end is under the control of an auxiliary governor h driven from the main governor. When the speed is excessive, the bolt p is thrust out so as to come between the lug a<1> and the sliding weight b, and the catch a is thus released earlier. Means are provided for rendering the bolt p inoperative when the cage is not being used for lifting or lowering miners.

Abstract: 27,670. Grant, J. C., and Davis, H. Nov. 28. [Cognate Application, 1248/11.] Type-casting machines. - Relates to pivotal machines wherein finished type are delivered consecutively on to a race. The machine comprises, as usual, a swing-frame 6, Fig. 2, carrying the mould and arranged to oscillate between the metal pot 50 and the race 44, the mould being opened by means of a radius-rod 19; the matrix 4 is carried by a holder 5, which is mounted in guides 7 to travel in the direction of the axis of the mould, and is retractable by means of a lever 13. Moulds; finishing type.-The following arrangements are provided for ejecting the type and breaking the tangs. (1) The types are transferred to the race 44 by means of a pusher consisting of blades 26, 27, Fig. 3, which bear on the dot 29 and the type-projection 31. The blades are secured to a slide 28 engaging a bellcrank lever 42, which is operated by a spring pin under the control of a cam 33. (2) To prevent turning of the type, the dot 29 may be formed as shown in Fig. 9 with a rectangular or other non-circular cross-section, the blade 26 being forked to engage the dot. The dot is formed by means of a nipple-plate 64, Fig. 8, having a non-circular hole 30 for the dot, a cup 65 for the pump-nozzle, and a circular hole 66 for the jobber. The nipple-plate is preferably made from two plates riveted together. (3) To prevent turning of the thin sorts, the device shown in Fig. 19 may replace or supplement that described above. The device consists of a. strip 79, which runs on guide-rods 82, and is pressed against the type 32 by a spring 83. During the transference of the type to the race 44 by the pusher 26, 27, the strip is moved backward into the dotted-line position to engage a latch 84. This latch is released by the cam 33, which operates the pusher. (4) During the first portion of the forward pivotal movement of the mould, the type is retained in the bottom half with the tang attached by means of pins or drags 2, 3, Fig. 3, arranged in the slip or body. (5) The race 44, Fig. 14, is provided with a guide-strip 46 and a presser 45, which is adjustable for different bodies. The tangs are broken by the end 62 of a lever 55, pivoted to the race at 56, and provided with a tail 57 which is adapted to be engaged by a cam 61 on the swing-frame 6. In a modification, the tang may be broken by a plunger mounted on the race and arranged to be actuated by an arm on the shaft 49, Fig. 2, of the pump-jobber. The plunger may be provided with a file for dressing the foot of the type. The outer end of the race may carry an ordinary type-stick. Matrices.-The space and quad matrices are formed with a recess, and are used in conjunction with a mould of less height than the normal, the recess serving to provide the space or quad with a wall adapted to be engaged by the blade 27 of the pusher.
