Abstract: 2518. Bolinders Mekaniska Verkstads Aktiebolag, J. & C. G., and Tenow, A. J. Jan. 31. Work-feeding devices. -Relates to means for feeding curved timber to sawing - machines so that it is sawn parallel to its curvature. Vertical shafts 3, Fig. 1, drive, through bevelgearing 7, 8, feed-rolls 4, 5 mounted in frames 9, 10 adapted to swing about the shafts 3, the upper frames 10 being also slidable vertically. For cutting curved timber, the frames 9, 10 are swung about their shafts 3 by means of eccentrically - mounted shafts 11 until their axes converge and intersect at the centre of curvature of the timber. The shafts 11 engage elongated openings in jaws 14 on the frames 9, 10, and are connected at their lower ends by a lever mechanism adapted always to turn both shafts through equal angles in opposite directions. In a suitable mechanism shown in Fig. 6, cranks 15 on the axles 13 of the shafts 11 are connected by links 16 to levers 17, which are pivoted to the main frame 1 and are connected at their free ends by links 18 to one end of a bell-crank lever 19. The other arm 21 of the bell-crank lever is actuated by a nut 23 on a screwed shaft 24, which is rotated by means of a wire rope carried by a grooved pulley 25. An index hand 26 on the shaft 24 indicates the positions for different curvatures of timber on a dial 27.

Title: Improvements relating to the Separation of the Constituents of Gaseous Mixtures, particularly of Atmospheric Air.
IPC: F25J3/04

Granted: 1912-02-08
Abstract: 3326. Soc. l'Air Liquide (Soc. Anon. pour l'•tude et l'Exploitation des ProcÚdÚs G. Claude), and Claude, G. Feb. 9. Separating gaseous mixtures by liquefaction. -In an improvement upon the process described in Specification 7305/10 for separating the constituents of gaseous mixtures, particularly atmospheric air, wherein liquefaction is effected by passing the compressed and cooled gaseous mixture successively through two tubular systems, the first system F is located at the foot of a rectification column, its upper portion being preferably maintained at a lower ternperature than that of the lower portion, while the second system S is immersed in a colder liquid undergoing rectification in an intermediate portion of the column. Fig. 1 shows diagrammatically a rectification column for obtaining approximately pure nitrogen by withdrawing from the level of the second or third plate a gas containing about 80 per cent of oxygen. The upper portion only of the first tubular system is immersed in a vaporizing liquid which is approximately pure oxygen, so that liquefaction takes place at approximately constant temperature. The liquid obtained in the second tubular system, approximately pure nitrogen, is supplied to the top of the column through a regulating-cock V<1>, preferably after passing through a coil S' immersed in still colder liquid to avoid re-vaporization. The liquid obtained in the first system may also be similarly cooled before supplying it to an intermediate portion of the column. The second tubular system may be arranged so that liquefaction takes place with backward flow of the liquid, in which case the gaseous residue, rich in neon and nelium, may be treated as described in Specification 22,316/09. In order to withdraw argon, which is found to accumulate above one of the lower plates of the column, the gases rich in argon may be passed through a coil such as B, Fig. 3, immersed in colder liquid, whereby the oxygen is liquefied and flows backwards leaving the argon to pass off through a cock R. If pure oxygen is required as well as pure nitrogen, a short auxiliary rectification column may be arranged below the vaporizing- chamber C so as to surround an intermediate portion of the tubular system F.
