Title: Improvements in or relating to the Manufacture of Hydrogen.
Inventor: SCHAEFER KARL
IPC: C01B3/10
Filed: 1913-11-10
Granted: 1915-07-01
Abstract: 25,710. Schaefer, K. May 21, [Convention date]. Hydrogen.-In producing hydrogen by the alternate oxidation with steam and reduction of heated iron material, the iron material is directly heated during the first heating bv burning gas of great heating power, for example water-gas, with an excess of air. The periodical heating-up of the iron after the first heating is effected merely by the passage of air. The object is to reduce the deposition of such impurities as dust and particles of carbon and sulphur compounds on the iron. The heating or reducing gas for carrying out the process is obtained direct from a gas-generator, or from a gas-holder, preferably the former, since the heat of the gas increases economy. Highly superheated steam also is used.

Abstract: 17,827. Milliron, J. A. Ang. 15, 1913, [Convention date]. Packing eggs.-Relates to apparatus for packing eggs or other fragile articles in sleeves of paper which are twisted between adjacent eggs, and consists of a device for facilitating the enclosure of the eggs in the twisted sleeve, and of an envelope and wrapper for containing the eggs. The twisting-device consists of a number of supporting-members 2, Figs. 1 and 2, which, with the exception of the middle one 9, slide in a longitudinal groove in a base 1. in order that they may approach one another as the sleeve shortens during twisting. The range of movement of the supports is limited by their pedestals and by slotted arms 6. A post 14, which forms the bearing for the twisting-handle 16, also slides in the groove. The upper end of each support is forked as shown in Fig. 2. A carrier formed of concave sections 26 secured to a back-piece 25 is hinged to posts 24, and is supported in the position shown in Fig. 2 by a leaf 27 hinged to the base 1. In use. a strip of paper or fabric, preferably moistened with water or with a preservative, is placed on the device resting on the carrier sections 26 and in the forked tops of the supports 2. Eggs are placed in the carrier sections, and the paper is then folded by hand around the eggs and the ends of the paper are passed through holes or slots in end disks and are secured by suitable means. The carrier is then swung out of position. leaving the eggs between the support with the paper dropped into the forks. The handle is engaged with one of the end disks and is turned to twist the paper sleeve, the supports 2 moving towards one another as the paper sleeve shortens. The twisted sleeve enclosing the eggs is transferred to an envelope 32, Fig. 10, of corrugated pasteboard, which is provided with grooves 43 in which slotted disks 46 are placed, and is supported by a trough 40. The twists in the sleeve fit into the slots in the disks 46 and are held in place by similar disks. The envelope is then folded around the sleeve, and the whole is inserted in a tubular jacket or outer wrapper of corrugated pasteboard.

Abstract: 18,908. Walker, A. H., [Wood, H. A. W.]. May 11. Stopping, throw-out, and like arrangements. -Relates to multi-deck printing-presses of the kind in which each printing couple is driven through a clutch which may be put into or out of gear independently of the others and also of the kind in which each couple is provided with a brake, all the brakes being connected to a common operating - member, so that they are simultaneously actuated. The impression cylinders 170 are connected in series by gearwheels 193 loose upon the shafts 194 but capable of being operatively connected thereto by pins 422, Fig. 3, which, by means of screws 446, may be projected into sockets 420 in hubs 419 keyed to the shafts 194. The ends of the pins 422 are reduced in section to allow them to shear off if an overload is put upon the cylinders 170. Each hub 419 is recessed to receive a brake ring 447, which is expanded by the turning of a square block 448 on the end of a spindle 449, which is turned by an arm 450. The arms 450 are connected to a common brake-rod 451, which may be operated by a solenoid or, as shown, by a piston 455 actuated by steam, air, or water. Cushioning-springs 453 of equal strength are preferably arranged on opposite sides of the arms 450 and between them and fixed collars 452 on the rod 451.

Granted: 1915-04-22
Abstract: 20,188. Duncan, J. A. Sept. 25. Shutters with pivoting blades.-In a shutter with two symmetrically pivoted blades 25<a>, 25<b>, Fig. 2, the blades are actuated by a helical spring 36<a>, 36<b> passing around and secured at its midposition 35 to a segmental member 33, Fig. 5, which is concentrically mounted relatively to the lens opening and adapted to be rotated and locked in position to put either section of the spring under tension. When the blades are free and neither spring is tensioned. the shutter is set by first moving a finger 17 along an arcuate slot 14, Fig. 1, in the front plate 1, say in a clockwise direction, thereby rotating the member 33 clockwise, tensioning the spring 36<a>, and operating the blades through the levers 28, 30<a> so that the projection 32<a> on the blade 25<a> snaps behind the retainiug-end 39<a> of the spring 38. The finger 17 is then moved in a contrary direction into the opposite sector of the slot 14 in order to tension the spring 36<b>. The shutter is released by the slide 42, which has arms 41 to retract the spring plate 38 from the projection 39<a>. The blades swing across the shutter, and the projection 32<b> on the blade 25<b> subsequently snaps behind the other end 39<b> of the spring 38. The exposure is determined by the degree of tension on the spring 36<b>, and the finger 17 is held in any position along the arcuate slot 14 by an auxiliary spring finger 19 which engages slots 16. For the next exposure the finger 17 is moved to the opposite section of the slot 14. For time exposures, a sliding catch 52 is adjusted in position to engage the lever 28 when the apertures in the blades are coincident with the lens aperture. The catch 52 is held out of position by a hook 54 when not required.

Abstract: 24,030. Klauder-Weldon Dyeing Machine Co., [Assignees of Benosch, J.]. Dec. 13, 1913, [Convention date]. Hank type.-The trip 20, Fig. 2, of a rotary hank dyeing or like machine is pivoted to a support 25 mounted on an horizontal axis on the carrying-member 28, which is itself pivoted about a vertical axis. The parts are held in operative position by a spring 32, secured to an arm 31 on the support 25 and arranged so that, in the event of excess strain on the trip, the parts yield against the spring, and this movement may take place about the horizontal axis or the vertical axis, or about both. The trip is provided with a tail 20<a>, which normally hangs clear of the support 25 so as to provide a degree of lost motion before effecting an actuation of the star-wheels and lessen shock. The invention is shown applied to a dyeing-frame having three carrying-members for supporting two sets of sticks, the star-wheels being carried by the central member and provided with sockets on opposite sides for the two sets of sticks.

Ropes b<1>, b<2> passed under guide-pulleys secure the tops of the side walls B<1>, struts b<3>, and chocks B<3> to the upper sides of the hull. Fig. 8 shows a modified arrangement of the ropes b<1>, b<2>. The cradles are generally hollow, so that they may be flooded, the water being removed by compressed air. These cradles may also contain gas, oil, water, wood, &c. The quarters of the vessel are protected by a series of movable members C, Fig. 13, comprising perforated plates C<1>, connected by wood beams C<2> and supported by floats C<3> and struts c<3>. The forward members C are connected to the sides B' of the after cradles.

A last 25, Fig. 3, with a sole 23 tacked to it is then placed within the approximately - shaped upper, and a lasting-collar 26, Fig. 6, of stiff material is slipped over the last to engage the flange 22. This collar is then covered by a perforated ring 27, Fig. 3, preferably of metal, to which pressure is applied, for example, by means of hinged links 28 and straps 30. This shapes the upper to the exact size determined by the collar, and by using various sizes of collars for each last, the upper may be shaped to several forms within limits. Tacks 31 are then driven through the ring 27 into the collar 26, flange 22, and sole 23, after which the ring 27 is removed. The upper is then secured to the sole permanently by a seam 33, the position of which is determined by the collar, after which the upper is cut to form foot and front openings, the collar is ripped off, the sole edge &c. trimmed, and finally the last is removed. The finished shoe, which may be fitted with a heel, is shown in Fig. 5 ; in some cases, it is provided with a strengthening-strip in the form of a welt, which is secured by the seam 33.
