Inventor: BAUER THEODOR VON
Filed: 1903-08-10
Granted: 1904-03-24
Abstract: 17,327. Bauer, T. von. Aug. 10. Coking.-Coke ovens are so arranged and constructed that they may be used directly or indirectly with a hand supply or with a mechanical supply of coal. Fig. 1 is a vertical longitudinal section of such an oven on three different planes A B, C D, E F, Fig. 2. Fig. 2 is a vertical transverse section taken on planes G H, I K, Fig. 1. The coke ovens I, II, III, IV, Fig. 2, are provided with charging shafts F<1> connected by lateral channels f<1> with the longitudinal distributing flues a, located above, and communicating with, the return flues b, so that the gas can be conducted from the distributing flues a to the return gas flues b, and from the latter into the vertical flues m. Air is led from the arched channels L'through vertical channels K', provided with slides g, to the channels i, and thence by pipes K<2> to the small openings n into the vertical flues m. When the ovens are used directly, the gases evolved from the heated coal pass into the shafts F<1> and thence through shafts a, b to the flues m, where they are burned, the resulting gases passing through sole channels z to furnaces and chimney. When the ovens are used indirectly, the channelsfl and openings between flues a, b are blocked up, and the gases evolved by the heated coal are drawn directly from the coke oven by a shaft, not shown, to the condensing plant. The return gas is supplied by tuyÞres e to the return gas flues band thence to the flues m as before. The flue a is provided with a steam-supply pipe, by which soot deposits can be removed. For caking coal, the base-plate Kx of the ovens is provided with small outlet orifices for introducing a supply of superheated steam into the body of the coal. The channels f are provided with arched stones for direct use of the ovens and hand supply of coal, with arched stones and plugged stones for direct use and mechanical supply of coal, with solid blocks for indirect use and hand supply of coal, and with solid blocks, plugged stones, and closing stones to block the passage from the oven to the shaft F<1> for indirect use and mechanical supply of coal.

Granted: 1903-12-31
Abstract: 22,790. Smith, W. Oct. 21. Surfacing sheets of plate glass. A combined automatic and hand feed is employed for gradually lowering the abrading-runners D', D<2> on to the glass B, supported on the revolving table A, as the operation proceeds. Collars T fixed to the shafts G bear on loose collars U which in turn bear against the levers S. The levers S are pivoted at s and are coupled at R to levers E pivoted at e and loosely connected at V to screws M. This loose connection prevents the runners from being pressed down too strongly. The screws M are moved by rotating nuts L by bevel gearing which may be rotated bv a hand-wheel F. The wheel F is adapted to be rotated automatically by a worm on a shaft K. All the shafts K are rotated from one of the shafts G by bands running over pulleys J, H. When using the hand feed for raising or lowering the runners the worm shaft K is put out of gear by means of a lever N. A ratchet or a friction feed may replace the worm gearing. Flexible shafts, ratchets or cams may be used for connecting the shafts G with the screws M or equivalent racks. The automatic feed may be effected by mechanism connected directly with the driving engine or without the usual levers for hand feeding.

Title: Improvements in Wool Washing Machines.
Inventor: TATTERSON GEORGE WATSON
Filed: 1905-03-07
Granted: 1906-03-08
Abstract: 4779. Tatterson, G. W., and Tatterson, A. P. March 7. Washing.-A machine for washing wool or the like has rake apparatus to convey the wool through the vat and an intermittently-rotating fork, carried in an oscillating frame, to lift the material out of the vat and deposit it on a conveyer. A rake frame 31, 32, Figs. 1 and 2, receives a compound oscillatory movement from the rotation of shafts 35. 35<a> carrying cranks 33, through the the links 34 by which it is hung, and through other links 42 attached to a frame 7 which is oscillated through upper links 41. The rake shafts 43, carrying teeth 44, have arms 45 connected by a rod 46, and an extension of one arm 45 engages a slot 45<a>. The rakes thus receive a supplementary oscillatory movement. The shafts 35, 35<a> are driven through shafts and bevel-gearing, Fig. 2, from the power shaft 5 upon which the frame 7 is hung. This frame carries a shaft 9 to which a fork 10 is secured and which is driven through gearing 1<a>, 2<a>, 5<a>, 6<a> aad a shaft 3<a> journaled under the frame 7. The first bevel-wheel 1<a> is secured to a shaft 13 outside the bifurcated arm of the frame 7, Fig. 4. A pinion 11, secured to the power sbaft 5. drives a wheel attached to a lower shaft 17 through a wheel 12 running loose on the intermediate shaft 13, a pinion 14 attached to this wheel 12, and an idler 16. The shaft 17 carries a cam-wheel 18 bearing two rollers 19 and revolves once for two revolutions of the wheel 12, as do the crank shafts 35, 35<a>. As the fork 10 recedes from the squeeze rolls 1, a pawl 26 carried by a lug 27 on the loose wheel 12 engages with a slot 24 in a ratchet-wheel 23 secured to the intermediate sbaft 13. The fork shaft 9 is thus revolved through the gearing described so that the fork 10 is turned over it and is about to descend into the vat a3 the frame 7 reaches its rearmost position. As the forward movement begins the fork dips into the vat 2 and gathers up its fibrous contents. When the fork has reached the horizontal, one of the rollers 19 is arranged to trip the pawl 26, and the shaft 13 ceases to revolve. A second pawl 29 engages the slot 24 and holds the ratchet-wheel 23 until it is itself tripped by the other roller 19 when the fork 10 falls on the feel-rolls 3 which draw off the material. The fork then begins to recede again until the first pawl 26 completes its second revolution and again engages the slot 24.

Counting-apparatus.-Relates to the apparatus described in Specification No. 15,498, A.D. 1905, which is applicable to electricity meters and other measuring - instruments. The unit dial revolves gradually and actuates the successive dials in steps by the fall of a weight, while a shutter is employed so that the 9 and 0 of the unit dial ,cannot both be in view at the same time. The gradually revolving unit dial a is mounted on the same axis as a looselymounted disk e with a weight f attached. The action of this weight is described in the abovementioned Specification. A pin in the disk e operates the tens' dial. A double shutter is attached to the weight f, having its two ends g, h bent over the dial a so as to cover a figure on this dial As shown in Fig. 1, the shutter h covers the figure 0, leaving the 9 exposed, until the weight f drops, when the shutter is stopped by the pin which, drives the weight forward, leaving the figure 0 exposed while the shutter g covers the 9. This arrangement prevents a mis-reading of the unit dial. By attaching the weight f to the unit dial instead of to the tenth-unit dial as described in the Specification referred to, there is only one-tenth of the load on the driving-spindle, giving greater accuracy in working.

Granted: 1907-08-15
Abstract: 18,625. Glover, T., Wayte, W. H., and Bands, G., [trading as Hands & Co., G.]. Aug. 20. Plug cocks.-Cocks for controlling gas lights are placed in the gas-pipes at convenient positions on the wall. The constructions shown have a similar appearance to tumbler switches for electric lights. The valve casing a stands out from the pipe line so that it may project from the surface of the wall, and the plug is arranged at right-angles with the pipe. The gas passage in the plug consists of a long port k. The plug is oscillated by a handle d which may be fixed to the middle or one end of the plug, and its movement is limited by the walls f of a slot in the casing in which it works. A by-pass u, Fig. 5, is provided in the casing and is regulated by a screw v. A dome-shaped cover g may be screwed on to the casing and serves to hold a box h in position. Instead of having a permanently open by-pass, the valve may be arranged so as to leave a slight opening when in the ' off ' position, the opening being regulated by a screw stop against which the handle rests. Or the valve may control a separate by-pass p, Fig. 7, which is only open when the main valve-passage q is closed. In conjunction with these valves, a special regulator valve is inserted near to the burner which closes the main passage and opens the pilot-burner passage when the main valve is closed.
