Title: Improvements in Advertising Apparatus.
Inventor: BISS CHARLES HENRY
IPC: G09F11/26
Filed: 1912-10-19
Granted: 1913-05-15
Abstract: 23,936. Biss, C. H., and Gamlin, H. J. Oct. 19. Reel and endless - web apparatus.-An advertising web is moved intermittently behind a window by means of a clutch device-which pulls the web along in one direction and releases it when moved in the o t h e r direction and which is operated by a manipulated object such as a desk or door. An inner continuation A<1> of a writing table A has a projection J, moving along a side-slot K and connected to a chain M, guided by a track L and made endless by way of a carriage O, sliding in a slot P. A rigid pivoted link may replace the chain M and operate the carriage O. When the carriage rises, it brings its pivoted clutch R up against a stop S and clamps the advertising web, which traverses rollers H, between an abutment Q and the clutch R. When the carriage O descends, it causes the web to travel until a stop T is struck by and unclutches the web.

Abstract: 26,301. Nelsen, H. Nov. 17, 1911, [Convention date]. [Addition to 14,376/12.] Cooling discharged materials.-In a vertical annular coke oven of the kind described in the parent Specification, a water receptacle i is so arranged in the central portion of the structure that, when the closure device f is lowered, the contained water flows on to and quenches the issuing coke. The closure device is made fluidtight relatively to the central structure by a stuffing-box, and a pipe m connected with an exhauster is provided to draw off the steam and gases produced through the water receptacle. Water may be sprayed on to the issuing coke from nozzles k, the supply to which is controlled by a valve l operated by the closure device in its downward movement. The oven is heated by the combustion of gas and air in flues b, c, and the products of combustion are passed in turn through tubular regenerators d, e for heating the air and gas respectively. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) states also that the supplies of gas and air to each of the heating-flues are independently regulable, and the air regenerator is divided into a number of independent sections. The waste gases pass through and around the tubes of the regenerators d, e respectively. The heating-flues may be arranged helically, or in zigzag formation. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.
