Abstract: 11,508. Gregory, G. R., and Direct Gas Fuel, Ltd. May 12. Smoke, consuming.-In a steam-generator or other furnace, products of combustion from the furnace or the flues are mixed with liquid fuel, and injected with subsequently added heated air into the space above the fire. As shown in connexion with a marine boiler, hot gases withdrawn from the smoke-box through an openended drum d are mixed with liquid fuel supplied through a connexion g and delivered to the casing of an injector a, by which they are forced into the furnace together with heated air from the hollow front-fitting i. Additional air may be supplied from the rear of the ashpit to a mixing-cone surrounding the injector by pipes k.

Abstract: 12,394. Roberts, G. H. May 25. Fixed-abutment type; valve - gear. - Within a casing a, Figs. 1 and 3, are secured a number of stationary disks e in which, and in end covers b are formed spiral working chambers f. Working between each pair of spiral chambers is a rotor c mounted upon a hollow shaft d. In each rotor c two revoluble cylinders h are mounted, one for each spiral chamber. Each cylinder h contains a rocking lever k upon the ends of which are mounted vanes g. Each of the vanes g alternately works along the adjacent spiral groove until it reaches the outer end where a cam surface thrusts it within the cylinder h. The other vane g is thereupon thrust into the groove f at the centre. Steam is admitted centrally through the hollow shaft and passes thence through cut-off valves n to the inner ends of the grooves f. The valves n are cylindrical and are oscillated longitudinally by levers o<1>, the outer ends of which engage tappets. The tappets for opening the valves n are fixed, but the tappets for cutting-off are movable, being secured to levers q. These levers q are oscillated for the purpose of varying the cut-off by link-work r, s', s<2>, s<3> under the control of a hand-wheel s<5>. The outer end of each groove f is connected to an exhaust chamber l<2> by ports l<1>. Ports and passages are provided for lubricating the various working parts.

Abstract: 13,879. Dutert, R. G. A. June 17, 1911, [Convention date]. Enlarging, copying, and reducing.-Apparatus is described by which two points are connected in such a manner that the product of their respective distance from one or two other stationary points is constant. The invention is applicable for photographic enlarging and reducing apparatus, and also for projection apparatus. As applied to the former for the purpose of maintaining the apparatus in focus for different ratios of reproduction, the three frames 2, 3, 4 connected with the lens, object, and sensitive plate or projecting screen, respectively, are connected by pivoted links 5, 6, 7 which are such that the product of A B and B A<1> remains constant and equal to the square of the focal length of the lens, when one of the parts is moved along the base 1. The separation 3<1>, 4<1> of the object and plate from the points A, A' is equal to the nodal distance of the lens. The links 5, 6, 7 are determined by the geometrical property of inverted circles, which is described in the Specification. The lengths B C, C C' are adjustable according to the lens used. In the application to projection apparatus, the lens, condenser, and light are connected by a similar linkage so that the light passing through the condenser may always be brought to a focus within the lens.

Inventor: CASTIAU PIERRE
IPC: C14C3/28
Filed: 1912-06-18
Granted: 1912-12-12
Abstract: 14,248. Castiau, P. June 18. Combination tanning processes; currying, impregnating, and the like. - Sole leather is rendered non-slipping on damp surfaces by a joint chemical and vegetable tannage and a subsequent filling treatment with a mixture of paraffin and resin or similar substances. In one process, chrome-tanned leather is steeped in a weak vegetable tanning liquor and the unfixed tannin is thoroughly removed by washing in tepid water, which may contain borax. The leather is dried and the hair side coated with oil, after which it is immersed in a mixture of paraffin and resin at a temperature between 80 and 100‹ C. until bubbles cease to rise. Alternatively, the hides may be tanned in a mixed chrome and vegetable liquor freed from precipitates, after which they are thoroughly neutralized and washed prior to the impregnation. The dark coloration caused by the process may be removed by soaking the treated leather in hot water and rubbing the surface with rags or a sponge. The leather may also be soaked in benzine and rubbed dry after cooling. The process is applicable to chemical tannages other than chrome, for instance formaldehyde or quinone tannage.

Instead of or in addition to the groove b<5>, a groove may be formed in the mount. In a modification, the stem b<1> is central and the cord is wound round it, and the shoulder in the passage is dispensed with. In other modifications, the stem is notched or has holes through which the cord is threaded.
