Title: Process for the Distillation of Fuels.
Inventor: FRIEDRICH CARL WILHELM TIMM
IPC: C10B1/04
Filed: 1913-02-21
Abstract: 4486. Timm, F. C. W. Feb. 27, 1912, [Convention date]. Void. [Published under Section 91 of the Act.] Carbonizing processes and apparatus.-Fuels, such as slack coal, friable lignite, fines of peat, peat fibre, or sawdust, are distilled by the downward passage therethrough of hot gases or vapours. The fuel may be mixed with fragmentary coke, or such coke may be arranged in horizontal layers in the charge. The apparatus illustrated comprises a chamber A supported on trunnions B<1> B<2> and containing a grate D; the heating - medium is supplied through a pipe F, and the gases and vapours leave the chamber through a pipe G. In a modified apparatus, the material is supported on a movable endless grate which carries the material through separate chambers in which distillation and cooling takes place, or the grate may be stationary and the inlet and outlet pipes for the gases movable. Liquids such as water, tar, and other like products, collect beneath the grate at different times and may be withdrawn separately; or the tar may be used for increasing the yield of coke by reversing the current of hot gases at the proper time, thus preventing the passage of the tar through the grate. The distillation may be accomplished in stages by successively using gases at different temperatures, for example the gas or vapour used may be at 100-200‹ C. for the drying stage, at 400‹ C. for the second stage, and at 900‹ C. for the third stage. The heating-medium may be producer-gas, superheated steam, benzol vapour, or the gases produced by burning the tar produced in the process, and warm air or flue gas may be employed for the drying. The medium may be heated in regenerators, and the final increase in temperature obtained by the addition of air, or it may be heated by passage through the hot residue of a previous charge with the subsequent addition of a small quantity of air or of gas heated in separately - fired apparatus.

Granted: 1913-12-24
Abstract: 8683. McKenna, T., [Spruson, W, J.]. April 12. Force-feed lubricators. -In a force-feed system of lubrication for the cylinders &c. of steam, oil, or gas engines, uniformitv of lubrication under different loads is secured by placing a spring-loaded balanced check valve in each delivery pipe close to the point of application of the lubricant. A.pump forces oil from a reservoir to a pipe provided with an adjustable relief valve, and communicating with a number of sight feeds, each fitted with a check valve and a stop-cock. The pipes leading from the sight-feeds to the cylinders &c. are fitted with valves having two heads Q, R on which the steam acts equally. A loading- spring is adjusted by turning a screwed cap V until the pressure exceeds slightly the maximum steam pressure. The oil enters the valve casing by a pipe F, and when its pressure exceeds that of the spring, the valve R opens to admit a small quantity; the pressure in the pipe F being then relieved, the valve closes again until the pressure of the oil is restored.

Abstract: 12,837. Soc. GÚnÚrale des Nitrures. July 26, 1912, [Convention date]. Resistances. - A heater of large capacity, especially for furnaces, is formed of sectorshaped bricks, bonded together and clamped externally at the ends. The bricks at each end may be of larger size, the clamps serving for terminals. Intermediate clamps may be provided in long furnaces. In the construction illustrated in Fig. 1, carbon bricks a, b are laid alternately and held loosely in a hoop d, while smaller bricks c are forced into the recesses in the bricks b ; a second row of bricks c is then forced between the others, and so on, the hoop being afterwards tightened by means of nuts e. A coating of refractory material f rammed over the resistances helps to keep the parts in place. Grooved bricks may be arranged as indicated in Fig. 7, with a filling of refractory non- conducting material g<1> such as aluminium nitride; or the bricks may have central passages similarly filled after assembling. Non-conducting bricks may be interposed in longitudinal or helical rows to increase the resistance or to divide it into sections for use with polyphase currents. The arrangement may be applied to furnaces of non-circular form. A solid heater to be used in the middle of a furnace may be similarly formed. Specification 29,299/10 is referred to.

Abstract: 7681. Dawson, Sir A. T., and Buckham, G. T. March 26. Loading-appliances.- Relates to apparatus of the kind in which a loading-tray or cage occupies a loading position immediately behind the gun but beyond the limit of recoil, and of the kind in which a movable guide is provided for bridging the gap between the loading-tray and the gun breech, and consists in providing the tray with a pivoted guide adapted to be brought into a position to bridge the gap by the nose of the projectile during its forward movement. When applied to semi-automatic guns, the guide is formed with a projection which acts as a buffer to prevent the ejected cartridge case from striking the waiting ammunition on the tray. Fig. 1 is a side elevation of a loading-tray B forming part of a hoist B<x>. The tray has the guide C pivoted thereto at c. When the ammunition is moved forwards for loading into the gun A, the nose of the projectile engages the guide and rocks it about the pivot c to bridge the gap between the tray and the gun. After the loading operation, the guide tilts back again into the vertical position, either by gravity, or under the influence of a spring. The ejected cartridge case is stopped bv a projection C' on the guide C. The movable ejection stop-device described in Specification 8016/14 may be employed in the apparatus shown.

Granted: 1915-02-25
Abstract: 7911. Schwartz, C. March 28. Measuring.-In a cloth measuring and cutting, and cost-computing machine, the edge portion of the fabric is introduced edgeways between two friction rollers 41, 40, situated at one side of the machine, the roller 40 being carried bv arms 39 on a lever 37 mounted on a shaft 32 and provided with a handle 38 whereby the roller 40 may be raised. It is held raised or lowered by the engagement of a spring with a locking-cam on the shaft 32. The shaft 32 is provided with an arm 56 linked to a lever 58 provided with a pin 61 engaging a slot in a cutter 63 pivoted to a fixed cutter 65, so that, when the roller 40 is raised, the cutter 63 is closed down on the fixed cutter. The end of the fabric is first brought into contact with the cutting-blades, and the roller 40 is then lowered on to the roller 41, the blades being simultaneously opened. A measuring-disk 52 on a sleeve 49 is then turned against the action of a spring 53 until the indication thereon corresponding to the length to be measured off comes into line with a fixed pointer. The fabric is then drawn through the machine thereby rotating the roller 41 and its shaft 42. A worm 45 on the shaft 42 gears with teeth 47 on a member, which frictionally drives a disk 50 on the sleeve 49, so that the disk is slowly returned to zero position. A second worm 46 on the shaft 42 engages teeth 18 on a head 17, which drives a drum 16 through a frictionclutch, the drum being provided with figures showing the cost at different prices of the length of material measured. When the disk 50 has returned to zero position, a projection thereon moves a spring-controlled pin into the path of a stop on the roller 41, whereby the motion of this roller is stopped. At this time a row of figures giving the cost at various prices of the length measured off is exposed through an elongated slot in the housing of the machine. The roller 40 is then raised, whereupon the cutter 63 is lowered and makes a slit in the fabric. Moreover a cam part on the shaft 32 operates mechanism for releasing the clutch by which the drum 16 is driven from the head 17. A spiral spring 34 then returns the drum to normal or zero position, wherein a projection on the drum contacts with an adjustable stopblock 71.
