Title: Improvements in or relating to Linkwork.
Inventor: GRANZ JOSEF
IPC: F16H21/06
Filed: 1913-05-28
Granted: 1914-05-28
Abstract: 12,472. Granz, J. May 28. Link-work; cam mechanism.-Relates to mechanism for the transmission of movement, of the kind in which a coupling-body actuating the driven member is slidably arranged in a slot in a disk rotatably adjustable in a housing carried by a cam-actuated driving-member, the character of the movement transmitted depending upon the angular disposition of the slot, which may be varied by rotary adjustment of the disk. In the arrangement shown in Figs. 4 and 5, a rod 2 slidable in guides 20 carries a block 19 in a transverse slot 2b in a boss 2<a>. A bolt 16 loosely mounted in the block 19 is rigidly fixed to prismatic blocks 13 slidable, together with the bolt in slots 11, 11<a>, in disks 12 which are rotatably adjustable by means of an actuating- rod 18 in housings or rings 9, 10 in the forked end of a lever 6. The lever 6 is actuated by means of a pair of cams 7, 8 acting respectively upon the arms 4, 5. When the disks 12 are adjusted in the end of the lever 6 so that the slots 11, 11<a> are horizontal, the movements of the lever are transmitted to the member 2, but when the disks are adjusted so that the slots are disposed vertically or in the direction of the movement, as shown, the slotted disks slide upon the prismatic blocks 13 and bolt 16 without transmitting any movement to such parts or to the member 2. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 2, the coupling-device is arranged to enable the member 2 to be actuated by either of two independent cam-actuated levers 6, 6', or by both of such levers acting conjointly. Each of the levers is provided with two arms 4, 5 actuated by separate pairs of cam parts 7, 8, of different shapes upon a driving-shaft 1. Each of the levers is forked, as in the previous arrangement, and adapted to carry a pair of adjustable slotted disks 11, 12, and 11<1>, 12<1> respectively. The member 2 is formed with a boss 2<1> through which passes a bolt 16 to which are pinned pairs of prismatic blocks 13, 13<1> arranged at right-angles to one another, as shown in Fig. 3, and situated in the slotted disks. In the position of the parts shown in Fig. 2, the slots in the disks 11<1>, 12<1> being vertical, the lever 6' oscillates without communicating any motion to the part 2. The slots in the disks! 11, 12, being horizontal, transmit the movements of the lever 6 to the member 2. If, by means of the actuating-rod 18, the disks &c. are rotatably adjusted through an angle of 90 degrees, the positions of the slots are reversed and the lever 6 becomes inoperative, while the movements of the lever 6<1> are transmitted to the member 2. If the parts be adjusted, by means of the rod 18, to an intermediate position, both pairs of slots being inclined, the movements of each lever 6, 6<1> are partially transmitted to the member 2, the member 2 being adapted to swing slightly, to permit this kind of actuation.

Abstract: 12,653. Valpy, E. A., [Administratrix of Valpy, O. H.], and Lucas, O. D. May 22. [Cognate Application, 18,923/14.] Hydrocarbon o i l s, cracking; bulk evaporators; rectifiers. - In cracking oil, the oil is vaporized in a still 3 by introducing steam under pressure or an inert gas through a perforated pipe 113, and the resulting vapours are led by a pipe 103 into contact with a heated catalyst contained, for example, in tubes 5, the pressure of the mixture on its exit from the tubes 5 being reduced by a pump 19. Preferably, a sudden reduction of pressure is effected by means of throttle valves fitted at the ends of the tubes 5. Nickel or other metal or alloy in a porous condition, or a metallic oxide or suboxide, are employed as catalysts. The inert gases employed consist of the uncondensable gases resulting from the cracking operation. In an example, the temperatures in the still and the cracking-tubes are 360‹ C. and 500-600‹ C. respectively; the pressure of the gas admitted to the still is 5 lb., and the reduction in pressure after cracking is 6 lb. The still 3 and cracking-tubes 5 are heated at the beginning of the operation by means of auxiliary burners, and afterwards by a burner 104 using the surplus gases resulting from the operation. The cracking-tubes 5 are fitted with cut-out valves. The vapours leaving the cracking-tubes pass through a heating-coil 33 in the still, then through a pipe 22 to a preheater 2 containing oil on its way to the still, and finally to a dephlegmator 7. The dephlegmator contains trays, some of which are fitted with cooling-coils. Separate fractions flow away through pipes 8 to coils in a cooling-tank 9; the uncondensed vapours and gases pass by a pipe 12 to coils in a cooling-tank 15. Uncondensed gases escape by pipes 10, 17 and are led by a pipe 111 to an absorbing-tank 18 containing petrol. The unabsorbed gases pass by a pipe 118 to the pressure-reducing pump 19. Specification 20,470/13 is referred to.
