Title: Improvements relating to casement and like stays
IPC: E05C17/30
Filed: 1932-10-07
Abstract: 405,751. Stays. HARCOURT, E. G., 16, Theodore Street, Birmingham. Oct. 7, 1932, No. 27923. [Class 65 (i).] A window or like stay comprises a plurality of relatively movable links and securing means adapted to render the stay rigid by imposing a torsional strain on the links. The links may be pivoted together, or may engage one another slidably, and the stay may be pivoted at both ends to the respective hinged members or may have one end free to slide in a guide on one of the hinged members ; the stay is secured in any position by twisting one end of it so that there is sufficient friction between each link and the adjacent ones to prevent movement. In the form shown in Fig. 2, the stay comprises four links a, connected together by pins g each riveted in one link and having a rectangular head sliding in a slot h in the other, so that the links cannot pivot relatively to one another but the stay can be lengthened or shortened by relative sliding of the links. One end of the stay is pivoted to a bracket c on the window, which has two ears closely embracing the end of the stay to prevent rocking of the stay on the pivot pin. The other end is pivoted on a tapered pin e<1> on the window frame and has an enlarged part a<1> on which bears a screw f carried in a bracket on the frame ; the pressure of the screw on the stay causes that end of the stay to tilt on the pivot pin, thus producing a torsional stress in the stay and causing binding at all the connections between the links. In the modification of Fig. 6, the stay comprises only two links, each slotted and each having a headed pin g engaging with the slot of the other; the left-hand end of the stay in this case, instead of being loosely mounted on a pin, is bent up and pivoted at a point i, offset laterally from the centre line of the stay, to a bracket k pivoted on the frame, and a screw f, passing through the stay at a point offset from the centre-line thereof in the opposite direction to the pivot i, bears on the frame to tilt the stay. The screw may be replaced by a cam or lever for stressing the stay.

Title: Improvements in or relating to cracking or otherwise treating hydrocarbons
IPC: C10G11/16
Filed: 1947-10-21
Abstract: In cracking or viscosity-breaking hydrocarbons in the presence of granular contact material, the latter is fed downwardly through a conversion zone as a compact non-turbulent bed, liquid hydrocarbon is atomized in a space within the bed and directed on to the surface of a layer of material which flows freely beneath and forms the lower boundary of the space.  The cracking or viscosity-breaking takes place during subsequent passage of the layer of contact material to a bed of material in the lower part of the chamber.  The hydrocarbon need not be fully vaporizable; the contact material may be catalytic when cracking material to produce gasoline and <PICT:0647591/III/1> fuel oils at a reaction temperature of 425 DEG  to 540 DEG  C., or may be substantially inert, e.g. fused alumina quartz, fused silica and alumina when treating viscosity-broken distillates at 425 DEG  to 675 DEG  C.  As shown, contact material C is fed above a conical deflector 9 which builds it up into a layer formation L on a dish-like member 7, the layer slides down the dish out through tube 6 into the lower part of the chamber where, in passage through tubes 14, the treated hydrocarbon vapours are removed through passages 14a and taken out through pipe 19.  The heated hydrocarbon is injected through nozzle 10a into a space within the downwardly-moving bed formed by conical deflector 9 and on to the layer L of contact material.
