Title: Improvements in and in connection with the Removal of Clinker from Furnaces.
Inventor: LOEWENSTEIN KARL PRINZ ZU
Filed: 1912-12-11
Granted: 1913-01-30
Abstract: 28,553. Lowenstein, Karl, Prinz zu. Dec. 11, 1911, [Convention date]. Grates.-To facilitate the removal of clinker, an auxiliary grate c, Fig. 1, is inserted above the main grate b to isolate a suitable layer of fuel, the combustion of which exposes the main grate. Clinkering &c. may then be effected through doors or the like in the side wall of the furnace. Each grate bar of the form of auxiliary grate shown in Fig. 2 consists of an inner tube d arranged within an outer tube e in such a manner as to allow for the circulation of the cooling-liquid, which may consist of oil, saline solutions, mercury or alloys of low melting-point. The auxiliary grate may be formed of separate pipes which are bent one or more times. The main grate b may be of the form shown in Fig. 2, or in Figs. 5 and 6.

Abstract: 5446. Scott, L. L. March 4. Percussive drills.-An internal-combustion percussive drill comprises a floating piston 7 mounted in a cylinder 1 and adapted to strike the tool 10, and an internal piston 25 within the floating piston and having a differential movement relative thereto, the internal piston having a fixed stroke, and an aircushion being provided between the pistons. The internal piston is connected to a crankshaft 16 by a connecting-rod 28 and a pin passing through slots in piston 7 and cylinder 1. The engine works on the two-stroke cycle, a charge drawn into a chamber 3 through ports 4, 44 during a return stroke being compressed during the next stroke and forced through port 44 and past a valve 37 into the explosion chamber 2 when the piston 7 uncovers the exhaust port 39, The piston 7 drives the piston 25 forward through an air-cushion in a chamber 45, air entering this space when the piston 25 uncovers a port 36 in the piston 7; on the return stroke, the piston 25 drives the piston 7 through the air-cushion. The drill 10 is rotated from the crank-shaft 16 through chain gearing, a worm 13, and a worm-wheel 12. Cuttings may be removed from the drill hole by passingÀair or water through the drill 10 or by means of a spiral groove in the drill.

Adjusting height of body from ground.-In a truck of the type in which the platform can be raised and lowered by toggle mechanism operated from the propelling-handle, the toggles being locked when the platform is in its highest position as described in Specification 10,688/12, a trip device independent of the propelling- handle is provided for unlocking the toggles so that the handle may be used to control the lowering of the load. The rear link of the toggle at each side of the truck is pivoted at 23 to the rear slide block carried by the platform 4, and the forward links 25, pivoted to the truck frame at 26, are connected by a cross-piece to form a yoke beneath the propelling-handle 11, antifriction rollers 39 being provided on the cross-piece. In the raised position of the platform, each toggle pivot 24 is disposed above the line joining the pivots 23, 26, so that the toggles are locked by the load with hooked extensions 30 of the rear links bearing against the pins of the pivots 26 to form a stop. For unlocking the toggles, a treadle 31 pivoted at 32 to a bracket 33 fixed to the rear link of one toggle is provided. An extension 36 of the treadle beyond the pivot 32 bears against the underside of the pin of the pivot 26 so that, when the treadle is pressed, the pivot 24 is moved downwards and the toggle is unlocked. Fig. 7 shows a modification of the toggle stop comprising a member 37 pivoted on the pivot 26 and adapted to rest upon the rear toggle link and carrying an arm 38, which, in the raised position of the platform, bears against the socket 6 carrying the swivelling front wheel.

Patent GB-191413026-A (GB)
Title: Improvements relating to the Manufacture of Sinuous Wire Garment Stays and similar Wire Articles.
IPC: B21F43/00
Filed: 1914-05-27
Granted: 1915-05-27
Abstract: 13,026. Spirella Co., [Spirella Co.]. May 27. Making metal fabrics, corrugating; twisting.- In making sinuous wire garment stays or like articles, the sections of the wire that form the transverse portions of the stay are twisted during the bending by rotating a pair of bending and gripping devices so as to impart a permanent set thereto, thus increasing the resistance of the stay to flatwise bending and increasing the resiliency thereof. The successive portions are alternately twisted in opposite directions so that, when bent, the twists all run in the same direction. The resistance to flatwise bending in the direction in which the twists are formed is greater than in the opposite direction. The direction of the twist in the case of overlapping loops may be such that the recoil of the wire tends to bring the overlapping portions into close contact. The wire is bent round two staggered sets of pins and the transverse portions may be straight or curved upwardly and downwardly as shown in Fig. 3 so that the stay may be concavo-convex in cross-section, the surfaces of the blocks in which the pins are mounted being in this case convex instead of flat. In a machine for making a stay of this kind, the wire is bent and twisted round a series of pins 2, carried by a pair of levers 8, 8<a>, alternately raised and lowered round their pivots 9 by cams 12, 13, the levers being connected to their pivots by elongated slots 33, so that they may be alternately brought into bending position. The bending and twisting operations are performed by a pair of grooved fingers 6, carried on pivots 16 in sleeves 17 which are rocked by eccentrics 26 and rods 28 so as to impart the twist. The fingers are oscillated on their pivots to perform the bending by toothed segments 19 operated by mitre wheels 20 oscillated by cranks 23 and levers 24 from the driving shaft 14. The amount of twist may be varied by altering the throw of the eccentrics and the angular position of the guide member 30 through which the wire is fed.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Bi-polar Electrode Electrolysers.
Inventor: HEPBURN GEORGE GRANT
IPC: C25B9/17
Filed: 1915-09-06
Abstract: 12,730. Hepburn, G. G. Sept. 6. Hypochlorites, obtaining; cells; electrodes; electrolytes, circulating.-Bipolar electrodes A are recessed at their upper ends, or provided with vertical extensions, to form troughs E from which the electrolyte, such as an alkalichloride solution, flows through the narrow spaces between the electrodes and out between their lower edges. This outflow may be controlled by movable non-conducting bars or wedges P, which may be notched at intervals or slotted longitudinally. Strips inserted in horizontal grooves in the vertical faces of the electrodes may be used alternatively. The lower edges of the electrodes may be bevelled, anrl grooved at H to prevent mingling of the streams from adjacent cells. Vertical edges of the cells are formed by non-conducting strips L let into the electrodes. Such strips may be of paraffin wax, cast in place. By circulating hot water through the electrolyzer, the wax or the like can be softened so as to allow the distance between the electrodes to be adjusted. Overflow from the troughs E is provided for by arranging the top edges of the side strips L below the top surfaces of the electrodes, and by cutting away the vertical edges of the electrodes to form channels for the overflow. The electrodes rest directly or by means of insulated or non-conducting arms B on bolts C covered with insulation. Between the arms B or other parts resting on the bolts are arranged compressible distance-pieces. The electrolyte flowing from the cells is pumped back into the troughs or a tank feeding them. According to the Provisional Specification, (1) the bottoms of the troughs may be wholly or partly closed by pieces which may be simultaneously raised or lowered, (2) the side edges of the cells may be closed by strips entering grooves in the electrodes to varying depths dependent on the proximity of the electrodes, or the strips may be pressed against the edges of the electrodes or replaced by cement, or by glass or other sheets each covering the edges of several electrodes, and (3) liquid friction may be increased by shaping the electrode faces so that a sinuous path is formed.
