Patent GB-191018176-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in the Treatment of Gas Obtained by the Distillation or Carbonisation of Coal or other Carbonaceous Materials and in Apparatus therefor.
Inventor: WILTON GEORGE
IPC: C10K1/04

Granted: 1911-10-30
Abstract: 18,176. Wilton, G. July 30. [Cognate Application, 24,035/10.] Scrubbers; naphthalene, removing; ammoniacal liquor, treating ; t a r ; purifying processes. - Distillation gases are led in the hot crude state through an apparatus in contact with the gas liquor and d tar condensed from the gas, the liquor and deposited constituents being cooled at or towards the gas outlet end so that this part of the apparatus acts as a condenser, the cooled liquor passing on into contact with the hot gas through a non-cooled portion of the apparatus and towards the gas entry, whereby light benzols, hydrocarbons, and ammonia deposited in the cooled portion, are again vaporized by the hot gases. Paraffin or other naphthalene solvent may be supplied near the gas outlet for absorbing naphthalene and traces of tar from the gas, and the liquor may be treated with lime and passed either back to the washing-apparatus or to the hydraulic main. The washing-apparatus is of the form described in Specification 24,832/01, [Class 32, Distilling &c.], and consists of superimposed trays 4 having gas passages 5 with raised edges covered with serrated hoods 6. The liquid passes from tray to tray through overflow pipes 7, and a partition 8 divides the bottom compartment into a gas chamber 3 and liquor chamber 9. Cooling-pipes 10 are disposed in a number of trays towards the outlet end. so that these act as condensers, a number of trays towards the gas inlet end being uncooled. Specification 23,043/08 is also referred to.

Title: Explosion Apparatus for Raising and Forcing Water.
Inventor: POORE GRAYDON
Filed: 1910-10-19
Granted: 1911-08-17
Abstract: 24,188. Poore, G., and Harvey, H. A. Oct. 19. Direct explosion apparatus.-In apparatus for raising and forcing water by explosion pressure, the explosive mixture is made electrolytically by the decomposition of water. Water is decomposed continuously in a chamber G at the side of the forcing-chamber A, and the explosive mixture thus generated flows into the upper portion B of the chamber, where it is ignited by a sparking-plug K controlled by a float F in the upper part of the chamber. The products of combustion are partly condensed by a jet of cold water introduced through the pipe L, and the slight vacuum resulting after the completion of the out-stroke is utilized to draw in a small charge of air through a valve (not shown) for the purpose of reducing the violence of the explosion.

Granted: 1911-11-23
Abstract: 10,026. Tripp, H. C. April 25. Mechanical stoking; grates.-Fuel is fed to a furnace immediately above the level of a substantially flat grate by a pusher extending the full width of the furnace, and is distributed by auxiliary pushers having materially less carrying capacity than the feeding pushers, so that the fuel is forced up into a heap by the resistance to the rearward movement. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the fuel is fed through an opening 9 by a pusher 14 operating at the base of a hopper 13. The grate is slightly stepped as shown, and between the steps work auxiliary pushers 30, 36, operated from the main pusher 14 through rods 31, 37, on which are fixed and adjustable stops 33, 35. The adjustable stops are so arranged that the pushers 14, 36 have the longest and shortest travel respectively. For clearing ashes &c., the pushers 36 may be clamped to the pusher 14 so that a full stroke is given. A pivoted dumping-grate 45 or a pair of geared ash-crushing rollers are provided. In a modified arrangement for a flat grate, triangular pushers of decreasing height along the furnace are carried by a reciprocating rod adjustably connected to the main fuel-pusher.

Framework; planes, construction of.-Girders, wing spars and ribs, stays, stretcher posts, or other parts of aviation apparatus are made of U, T, or other similar sectioned bars of metal, spaced apart by strips of corrugated metal which may be reinforced, and assembled in various manners. Figs. 3 and 9 show wing sections in which the spars and ribs are of U-section bars 1, 2 with corrugated strips 3 between, bound together by plates. An example of a reinforcement for the corrugated strips is shown in Fig. 10, and comprises a notched, scalloped, metal strip 6 embedded in the corrugated strip 3. Fig. 19 shows a method of combining two or more corrugated strips 3 to be inserted in a U or other shaped rod. Fillings 15 are used between the corrugations. To prevent adjacent rods from slipping, notches or indentations 17 are made in them as shown in Fig. 33.

Granted: 1913-10-20
Abstract: 21,436. Dawson, Sir A. T., and Buckham, G. T. Sept. 20. [Cognate Application, 23,847/12.] Mountings.-Relates to power-operated elevating and training gears, and consists in means for automatically actuating the hand-control devices of the hydraulic or electric motors and stopping the motors, as the movements of the gun and mounting reach their limits. Fig. 6 is a part sectional plan of one construction applied to a training-gear comprising a variable-speed hydraulic transmissiongear D, Dx carried by a part of the mounting that moves during training. The control device for the motor D of the transmission-gear is a toothed sector d operated by a worm d<Î> on a shaft d<1> driven by the shaft d<0> of the training-gear bandwheel through an intermediate shaft d<1Î>. The worm-shaft d' is also geared to a pinion d' which meshes with a rack D' freely slidable in a fixed curved guide D<2Î>. During training, the rack D' is carried along the guide D<2Î> until it reaches either of the limit stops d<3>, d<4>. It is then arrested, and the continued movement of the mounting causes the pinion d' to roll along the rack and rotate the worm shaft d<1>, until the control-device d brings the motor D to rest. The elevating-motor is controlled in similar manner. In a modification, the control is effected by a cam-groove which is concentric with the axis of rotation of the gun or its mounting, except at the ends. The eccentric ends actuate a bell-crank lever connected to the control device. Clutch devices are provided so that the elevating and training-gears may be worked by hand, the motors and automatic controls being thrown out of action

Title: Improvements in or relating to Shaping, Ironing or like Mechanism for use in the Manufacture of Boots and Shoes.
Inventor: BOULT ALFRED JULIUS
IPC: A43D49/00
Filed: 1912-11-07
Granted: 1913-11-06
Abstract: 25,579. Boult, A. J., [United Shoe Machinery Co.]. Nov. 7. Ironing.-An ironing or similar device particularly applicable for operating upon the uppers of turn-shoes is heated by the friction between rotating means which are pressed outwards by their centrifugal force and the wall of a chamber against which they are pressed. In the form shown in Figs. 1 and 2, a shaft 2 extends into hollow ironing- blocks 8, 10 fixed to a frame 7. The shaft 2 carries a cage formed by two side plates 12 attached to a rectangular block 14 secured to the shaft. Friction blocks 15 of asbestos are loose between the plates 12 and are pressed outwards during the rotation of the shaft against the inner wall of the block 8, thus heating it. Weights 18 may be placed under the blocks 15 to increase the friction. A thermometer 26 indicates the temperature of the tool. The temperature may be controlled by adjusting, by means of a shutter 24, the current of air drawn through the tool by a fan 20 on the shaft. In the modification shown in Figs. 5 and 6, the tool is in the form of a roll 28, which can rotate on a fixed sleeve 27, which is heated internally as described with reference to the tool of the first modification. The roll is rotated by moving it laterally until a coned surface at the interior of its end engages a corresponding surface on the end of the shaft. The lateral movement is given to the roll from a treadle through a spring 41, rod 40, rockshaft 36, and an arm 34, which carries a roll 35 to engage the end of the roll 28. A torsion spring 38 lifts the roll 35 when the treadle is released. An oil-pad 45 is carried by an arm 42 pivoted to the main frame, and is adapted to be engaged by a stop 44 resting on the rod 40. When the treadle is not depressed, the stop 44 holds the arm 42 so that the pad only just touches or is held clear of the roll 28. On depression of the treadle to start the rotation of the roll, the pad 45 falls, thus giving an adequate supply of oil to the roll.
