Title: Improvements in Furnaces having Superposed Working Chambers.
Inventor: WEDGE UTLEY
IPC: F27B9/24
Filed: 1909-04-15
Granted: 1909-12-31
Abstract: 8943. Wedge, U. April 16, 1908, [Convention date]. Roasting and calcining furnaces. - In furnaces having superposed circular working chambers, means are provided for regulating the heating of the various chambers ; the hearth of the lowest chamber and the arches or roofs of all the chambers are supported, independently of each other and of the walls, upon a metallic structure ; and the outer wall is built of sections, so that, by removing a portion of it, repairs may be easily effected. In the form shown in Fig. 1, where the working chambers x are muffled, metal posts or channel-bars 1 support rings 2<a>, Fig. 6, or angle-irons 2, Fig. 1, for carrying the arches 3 of the muffles. The hearth 5 of the bottom chamber is supported by a ring 6 and by girders 6<a>, and the hearths of the other chambers and the roof 9 of the furnace are supported by the arches below, spaces 10 for the passage of furnace gases being formed, in the casa of a muffle furnace, by supporting the hearths either on tiles 11 and on ledges 12 formed in the walls, or on annular or radial perforated partitions erected upon the arches. In a modification, the hearths of the lowest chamber may be supported upon an arch formed below. In connexion with the metal skeleton frame of the furnace, a casing formed of removable sections of sheet metal may be provided. The passages 10 are divided by a transverse partition, and at each side of the furnace is erected a pair of stacks 14, 15 communicating with the passages 10 by dampered flues 16 supported, as shown, by a plate 26. Access to these flues is obtained through normallyclosed openings 27. In a modification, the transverse partition dividing the passages 10 is omitted, and a single stack only is erected at each side of the furnace. Hot gases supplied to the lower portion of each of the stacks 14 pass through the flues 16 and passages 10 to the common outlet flue 15 at the opposite side of the furnace, and then escape through the uppermost passage 10 to the upper part of the stack 14 above a partition 17. The stack 14 may supply the top passage 10 as well as those below, the stack 15 then serving for the escape of the gases. Instead of, or in addition to, supplying hot gases to the passages 10, they may be supplied directly to the chambers x. The central rotating shaft 20 is sheathed with refractory blocks 21 and carries rabble arms 22. The muffles are connected by passages 23, and gases evolved from the ore pass upwards through the muffles and escape into the stacks 14 by passages 24. The Specification in the original form, as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a), comprises also an arrangement of superposed muffles in which the gases evolved from the ore pass downwards and escape from the lowest chamber into a stack. This subject-matter does not appear in the Complete Specification as accepted.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Loom Jacquards.
Inventor: REGAL AUGUST
IPC: D03C3/20
Filed: 1909-11-15
Granted: 1910-05-05
Abstract: 26,502. Regal, A. Nov. 15. Jacquards.-An electric jacquard has an indicating - surface arranged to determine the bindings of the figure and of the ground, and a partly conducting and partly non-conducting indicating-surface to determine the outline of the figure. The indicating-surface a arranged to determine the outline of the figure is mounted on a drum, which reciprocates in the direction of its axis and has an intermittent rotary movement. When the pointer c is in contact with a portion of the ground, that is . of the non-conducting part of the surface a, the lifting-hook controlling magnet corresponding to-the position of the pointer c is energized or not according to reading of the pointers x1, x2. When the pointer c is in contact with a part of the figure on the surface a, another source of current is thrown into action, thereby ensuring that one of the pointers x1, x2 shall cause the corresponding magnet to be energized, with the result that the corresponding jacquard lifting-hook is not lifted. The binding of the figure is determined by pointers C1 ... C8 controlling other magnets, which operate a separate series of lifting-hooks connected to the warps. When any particular magnet is energized, it pulls an armature into such a position that it is pressed downwards by a cam on a rotating shaft, thus either operating the lifting- cord directly or pulling a cord which draws aside a lifting-hook and prevents the said hook from being lifted by the griff.
