Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Converting Mineral Oil into Volatile Spirit.
Filed: 1913-06-13
Granted: 1914-03-12
Abstract: 13,726. New Oil Refining Process, Ltd., and Rossini, J. L. June 13. Hydrocarbon o i l s , cracking. - Apparatus for converting mineral oils into volatile spirit is so devised that the retorts may be cleaned out without waiting for them to cool. The retorts 1 are fitted with descension pipes 2 leading the products to a safety-box 3, from which the gases and vapours normally pass freely by a pipe 4 to the condenser, the liquids being drained from the box 3 by a pipe 5. Before opening the doors 9 for cleaning purposes, a valve in the pipe 5 is closed, and liquid is run into the box 3 through a pipe 6 to seal the descension pipe 2, and thus prevent the passage of flame into the vapour pipe 4. A partition 7 dipping into the liquid prevents access of air to the box when the manhole 8 is opened for removal of deposits. The process is of the type described in Specifications 13,675/08 and 28,460/11, water and oil being fed to the retorts through pipes 13, 14 so as to impinge on spraying-plates in the retorts. Steam-pipes 16 may be used to blow vapours out of the retorts when they are opened. The oil draining through the pipe 5 is led to the crude oil tank. Specification 20,074/12 is also referred to.

Granted: 1914-07-30
Abstract: 12,304. Berry, R. C., and Atkins & Co., E. C. May 19. Reciprocating-saw machines. -In a hack-saw machine, the saw frame C is reciprocated by a connecting - rod 30 pivoted to a slotted arm 31 oscillated on a rock-shaft 32 by a block 34 on a pin 36 carried by a second slotted arm 35 which is oscillated about its pivot 37 by a block 46 on a crank-pin 45 carried by an eccentric disk 21 on the driving-shaft B. The pivot 37 is mounted on a carrier 38 pivoted to a fixed housing A' on the machine frame. The carrier 38 is connected by a rod 41 to one of the workholding jaws 57, 44 which are operated by an oppositely-threaded rod 58 so that the pivot 37 is thrown up or down to regulate the length of the stroke according to the size of the work. The connexion between the connecting-rod 30 and the slotted arm 31 is below the deepest portion of the saw-cut so that a downward pull is exerted on the saw blade while cutting. The saw frame reciprocates on a bar 10 which is secured to an arm 11 pivoted to the housing A<1> and is connected to the arm pivot by a brace supporting an adjustable weight. A pivoted rod 12 hanging from the arm 11 passes through a vibratory gripping-frame 13, Fig. 5, connected hy a link 15 to a lever 16 carrying a roller 19 engaging the eccentric disk 21. When the saw is on its return or non-cutting stroke, the disk 21 depresses the lever 16 and raises the frame 13 causing pins 22, 23, between which the rod 12 can normally slide freely, to grip the rod and thereby raise the bar 10 sufficiently to keep the saw out of contact with the work until the non-cutting stroke is completed. When the work is cut to the required depth an adjustable trip 47 mounted in a socket on the connecting- rod 30 engages a pivoted weighted arm 52 and operates a projection 51 on a rock-shaft 50 carrying a cam which actuates the clutch between the driving-pulley B<1> and the driving- shaft B and stops the machine. A pump 70 operated through a rod 72 by a crank arm on the rock-shaft 32 supplies water or oil from a tank 73 through pipes 74, 75 to the work.
