Title: An Improved Cigar or Cigarette, and Means for the Manufacture of the same.
Inventor: WETTER JASPER
Filed: 1898-03-04
Granted: 1899-02-25
Abstract: 5367. Wetter, J., [Pittler, J. W. von]. March 4. Cigars; cigarettes.-Cigars or cigarettes are made of highly-compressed tobacco forced out through cylindrical tubes having cores which form air passages in the tobacco rod so produced. Fig. 10 shows one form of the apparatus. The tobacco is intermittently fed by wheels n, n<1> from the hopper s to the cylinder f, from which it is forced into a 'former' by the advance of the plunger e. Core-rods i are supported by the openwork disc h within the 'former,' which is surrounded by a steam or hot-water jacket. The rod passes out through a tube m, and by its friction with the wheel 8 operates mechanism which causes a knife to sever it at intervals into cigarettes. A vertical cylinder with a plunger operated by hydraulic pressure may supply a radiating series of tubes each of which forms a continuous tobacco rod. The cigars or cigarettes may be provided with a paper envelope applied as shown in Fig. 4. The paper strip t passes over the roller u, and its sides are bent upwards and over until it enters the tube m<1>, one edge being pasted by the wheel w.

Patent GB-189820430-A (GB)
Title: An Improved Acetylene Gas Generator.
Inventor: DILLBERG GUSTAF
Filed: 1898-09-27
Granted: 1898-11-26
Abstract: 20,430. Dillberg, G. Sept. 27. Acetylene lamps.-From the cover h of an outer chamber a is suspended a cylinder b which is fitted with a perforated bottom c and with an openwork shelf for supporting a composition l of calcium carbide. The cylinder b is closed by a stopper d carrying a gas outlet tube e fitted with a cock g and a burner f. In operation, the water gains access to the carbide by passing through the bottom c, and, when the production is in excess of the demand, the gas drives the water down away from the carbide. The lower part of the cylinder b is sufficiently large to hold any after production of gas, and it may be extended as shown in dotted lines for this purpose. Gas, which from any cause may pass into the chamber a, escapes by a hole i which is covered with wire gauze to prevent a flame from passing backwards.

Granted: 1902-06-19
Abstract: 12,696. Heinzerling, C. June 21. Turbines.-The hot gases from blast furnaces, steam boiler and other furnaces, gas engines, &c. are utilized for generating motive power and for drying purposes. The gases are expanded in a double-acting engine a, Fig. 1, of the liquid-piston type, or in a turbine, and then cooled in a refrigerator b, the gases, as they enter, pushing the previously condensed gases through the non-return valves n', n<2>. The refrigerator is shown double, the sides of which are used alternately. The blast furnace gases are burnt before admission to the motor. The hot gases circulating through pipes in drying-chambers are also expanded in a motor, and then cooled in a refrigerator, where the moisture separates from them. The expanded gases may be drawn from the motor through cooling-pipes to a distant station where power is available for the purpose, thus combining the power of two installations at a distance from each other.
