Title: Improvements in or relating to steam generators
IPC: F22B31/08
Filed: 1926-10-07
Abstract: 259,591. Siemens - Schuckertwerke Ges. Oct. 8, 1925, [Convention date]. Steam-generator furnaces; fuel, feeding; grates; regenerators.-A steam-generator furnace comprises a vertical shaft 3, Fig. 1, in which steam-generating tubes (not shown) are arranged and in the lower part of which solid fuel is burnt upon a conical grate 2, the fuel being supplied by a worm 1. The products of combustion escape from the shaft 3 to an annular chamber 4 in which superheaters or preheaters may be arranged, and thence through an annular chamber 5 which may also act as a preheating chamber. Figs. 2 and 3 show a furnace adapted for burning damp lignite. The fuel is fed by gravity from an annular hopper 6 through a number of passages consisting of rectangular shafts 8, tubes 10, or passages formed by dividing the annular space 7 circumferentially by a corrugated partition. The hot combustion products pass downwardly around the fuel conduits and serve to dry the fuel, and thence through an air-heating space 14 divided by a corrugated partition on one side of which passes the combustion products and on the other side the air for combustion. The moisture from the fuel may be carried off through tubes 11. The air passes to the outer space 14 through pipes 16 which lie against the hopper 6 on one side and are in contact on the other side with a shaft 17 for the escape of the gases. The grate 8 is in the form of an inverted truncated cone having at the base a rotating cone 21 provided with an ash-gutter 22. The cone effects the discharge of ash and co-operates with a fixed part 23 to break clinker. In a further modification shown in Fig. 4 a gas generator 18 is arranged at the base of the shaft, air for secondary combustion being supplied through passages 19, 20. Fuel may be fed to the grate by means described in Specification 270,244. Specifications 4271/76, 16873/91, and 14884/95 also are referred to. The Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91 (3) (a) refers to openings 13 in the masonry 12, Fig. 3, for carrying off moisture from the fuel. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accapted.

Title: Improvements in electrically operable presses
IPC: B29D30/06
Filed: 1933-09-11
Abstract: 421,355. Presses; vulcanizing. BRIDGE & CO., Ltd., D., Castleton, Lancashire.-(National Rubber Machinery Co. ; Akron, Ohio, U.S.A.) Sept. 11, 1933, No. 25054. [Classes 70 and 87 (ii)] A press, particularly for vulcanizing tyres &c. is actuated by an electrical motor mechanism which is automatically stopped when the press is open or closed, and set to perform the reverse operation when the motor is again actuated. The opening may be started by the release of pressure from the interior of the tyre. A fixed platen 1, Fig. 1, with mould 12 and an upper platen 3 with mould half 13 are hinged at 5, the platen 3 being carried by arms 6 with extensions 6<a> on which is pivoted a casing 33 carrying a nut geared to a rotary reversible motor 86, and threaded on a screwed rod 40. Relative movement between the nut and rod is utilized to open and close the press, lock the mould, set a switch for stopping the motor and reset for the next operation, and break the vulcanized tyre from the mould. With the apparatus in the state shown in Fig. 1, operation of the motor causes the nut to travel up the rod 40, and close the press, and actuate a lever 70 through a link 72 to lower posts 20 supporting the bead ring 17 on which the tyre 14 is mounted. When the press is closed, the rod 40 moves downwardly, operating a lever 39 pivoted at 37 to draw a locking post 42 downwardly and to the left into engagement with a locking block 44 on the upper platen 3. At the same time, an adjustable slotted link 124 pivoted to the end of the rod 40 draws a bellcrank lever 118 across, and with it a rod 120 on which is mounted a spring 123. As the spring passes its dead centre, it throws over a switch 89 through links 116, 115, from the position shown in Fig. 1, to that shown in Fig. 3, to stop the motor and set it for operation in the opposite direction. The motor is operated to open the press by throwing over a switch 88. This may be done by raising a lever 92, or by the release of pressure from the interior of the article, which communicates with a diaphragm in a chamber 107<a>, and on release allows a weight 104 to fall and carry down a latch 98 and actuate the switch through linkage 96, 94, 93, 90, 88b. If required, the latch may be tripped by a hand lever 108. On opening, the reverse operations take place, the motor running until a projection 127 on the casing 33 strikes the bell-crank lever 118<a>, and caries the spring-arm 120 past its dead centre, and snaps the arm 116 over to throw the switch 89 into position to stop the motor and reset the mechanism for the next closing operation. The motor drives through a clutch having a lost motion to enable the motor to start under no load, and provide a hammer blow to break the locking toggle on opening the press.
