Abstract: 1617. Rudas, G., Szakßll, F., Roheim. O., and Palotay, A. von. Jan. 22. [Addition to 24,359/07, Class 126, Stoves &c.]. Burners, mounting; vapour burners; vaporizing- apparatus.-In a modification of the spirit stove described in the parent Specification a spherical burner is gimbal-mounted on pivots e, Fig. 3, in a ring d, which is mounted on pivots c in a spherical casing b. The burner consists of a spherical casing f<1>, a weight g, Fig. 4, a tube h, and a wick i, all as described in the above-mentioned Specification, but the lower end of the tube h is closed by a plate h<1>, and contains an absorbent pad m<1>, preferably of asbestos. A perforated tube j may be fitted to the aperture in the bottom plate h', to facilitate the filling of a reservoir p inside the casing f. The outflow of spirit is prevented by rings p', o in the upper part of the casing f. They are perforated in order to allow the vapour produced in the reservoir to pass into the space immediately beneath the flame orifices h<2>, which may be regulated by a cover h<3> moved by a handle h<4>.

Granted: 1909-10-14
Abstract: 1750. Metzke, G. Jan. 25, 1908, [Convention date]. Feeding sheets &c.-In a cutting-machine for opening envelopes a vertical guide 4 serves as a side gauge for the envelopes as they are fed along the table 3 by rollers 20 projecting therethrough and driven from the motor. The table 3 may be inclined towards the guide to keep the envelopes against the guide 4, as shown in Fig. 5, or it may be horizontal, in which case conical rollers 20, Fig. 6, may be used for the same purpose. The table may also slope towards the cutters 5, 6 to facilitate the feed of the envelopes. The feed of the envelopes past the cutters is effected by the cutters themselves, which consist of tapering circular disks 5, 6 mounted and driven from a motor 13. In a modification a circular cutter 29, Fig. 4, is provided which engages a recess between two disks 30, 31, which may be roughened or milled for feeding purposes. An alternative construction comprises thin steel disks 32, 33, Fig. 4<a>, which are clamped between blocks adapted to impart to them the funnel shape shown in the Figure.

Abstract: 23,826. Michaelis, W, Oct. 18. - Stencilling - apparatus.-A rotary duplicating- machine is so constructed that it may be folded into a box of small size to facilitate transport. The stencil-carrying drum is in two parts a, a<1> of different diameters, the part a carrying the stencil and the part a' acting as a counterweight and adapted to be turned into the part a when the machine is not in use. The part a is fast on a shaft b, carried by standards e pivoted to the inside of the sides of the box f, so that they may be folded into the box so as to rest upon the top of a compartment t <1>, which contains various requisites. The part a' consists of two side cheeks independent of each other or having sliding or telescoping connexions at their periphery. The cheeks carry short tubes, loosely mounted on the shaft b and kept apart by a spring c, and also carry pins d which engage holes in lugs on the ends of the part a. To fold the part a' into the part a, the cheeks are drawn together to compress the spring c and release the pins d. The standards e are locked in the erect position by stays g, pivoted to the box and carrying locking-levers h, which engage studs e<2> on the standards. The pressure roller i is carried by arms j loosely mounted upon a shaft k, to which is fixed an arm l carrying a friction roller m bearing against a cam m on the shaft b, so that the roller is alternately pressed against and withdrawn from the drum. A second cam and roller may be provided at the other side-of the drum. The arms l, j are adjustably locked together by a screw v. In a modification, the side standards are in the form of lazy-tongs having one limb hinged to the box and the other limb slidably arranged so as to be readily lowered.

Abstract: 815. Gelhaar, S. J., and Carlson, O. B. Jan. 12. Guanidine and its compounds are produced by heating dicyandiamide, dicyandiamidine, or their compounds under pressure in an autoclave in the presence of water and with or without the addition of inorganic non-oxidizing-agents. An aqueous solution of dicyandiamide, as well as one containing acid, may be employed, the intermediate formation of dicyandiamidine taking place.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Appliances for Automatically Regulating Air Supply to Steam Boiler or other Furnaces.
Inventor: STEWART ANDREW
Filed: 1910-04-01
Granted: 1910-09-22
Abstract: 7899. Stewart, A., and Downie, A. April 1. Air supply, regulating; fire-bridges.-Relates to air-supply regulating devices of the kind in which the opening of the furnace door operates a damper at the rear of the ash-pit for admitting air through a hollow fire-bridge to the furnace, the closing of the damper being controlled by a piston working in a cylinder connected to a reservoir, and consists in the special means adopted for actuating the damper and piston. As shown in Figs. 2 and 3, the lower end of the door spindle i is provided with a bevel-wheel j gearing with a bevel-wheel k loosely mounted on a shaft l. Upon opening the door, a pin m on the bevel-wheel k engages with a pin n on the shaft l, which is rotated. Motion of the shaft l is communicated through the lever x and rod f to the damper e, admitting air to the hollow fire-bridge, which is provided at the top with bars c or a perforated cover. At the same time, the rod v, piston-rod o<2>, and piston o<1> are raised, and water or other fluid enters the cylinder o from the reservoir p. When the furnace door is closed, the wheel k turns freely on the shaft l, and water flows from the cylinder o through the duct s to the reservoir p, thus allowing the piston, pistonrod, and rod v to descend and gradually close the damper. Instead of employing a cylinder and reservoir for each furnace door, a cylinder for each door and one common reservoir may be employed.

Abstract: 9262. Kesztele, F., and Maschinenfabrik und Muhlenbauanstalt G. Luther Akt.-Ges. May 12, 1909, [Convention date]. Pneumatic separating. - In a machine for cleaning semolina &c. of the type in which the material in falling on a series of superimposed roof-like surfaces is exposed to air currents directed at an angle to the path of the material and entering through adjustable inlets, inclined walls are arranged within the casing immediately behind each air inlet so as to form a conduit of approximately the same restricted cross-section as the actual air-inlet openings. The cleaning - chambers 3, 4, 5, arranged one above the other within the casing 2, have adjustable horizontal air inlet openings 13, 14, 15 in the front wall, and communicate by openings 9, 10, 11 in the rear wall with a chamber 12 adapted to receive the lightest semolina. The chambers are narrowed by downwardly-inclined partitions 25, 26, 27 extending close to the wall of the casing so that the entering air cannot at once expand to any extent, but must pass through the narrow conduit formed by the partitions and the adjacent roof-like surfaces 19, 20, 21. The semolina is fed from a hopper 1 by means of a roll 22 into the top chamber 3, where it is separated so that the heavier particles fall down between the inclined surfaces 19 and the front wall of the casing into a trunk 28, while the lighter particles are directed over the surfaces 19 and collect in the lower part of the chamber 3 whence they are delivered by a roll 23 to the chamber 4 next below. The air is drawn into the casing by a fan connected to an opening 36 fitted with a regulating-flap 37.
