Title: Improvements in Pottery Kilns or Ovens.
Filed: 1897-05-06
Granted: 1898-03-05
Abstract: 11,343. Ayre, R. F., and Craven, Dunnill, & Co. May 6. Kilns or ovens.-Relates to pottery ovens in which the furnace gases circulate out of contact with the goods under treatment. The flues surrounding the oven communicate with the furnace through throats of unequal area, while provision is made for the introduction of atmospheric air. Fig. 2 shows a vertical section, and Fig. 3 a sectional plan, on the line 3-3, Fig. 2, of a kiln or oven constructed with two surrounding flues d, e. The major portion of the gases from the furnace c enters the flue d, and after circulating round the oven passes by the opening g in the basement to the second flue e. From the second surrounding flue e the gases escape to the chimney flue f. A portion of the furnace gases directly enters the flue e and heats the wall j, on the other side of which air is travelling to mingle with the gases in the flues. Jets of furnace gases from the openings i mix with this air. In addition, air is supplied from a chamber t at the rear. In a modification, three surrounding flues are provided.

Title: An Improved Apparatus for Maintaining a Constant Temperature of Metallic Wires Heated by an Electric Current.
Inventor: BERGLUND ROBERT
Filed: 1897-05-14
Granted: 1897-07-17
Abstract: 12,019. Berglund, R., and Wendel, Baron R. de. May 14. Regulating.-Relates to a device for maintaining a constant temperature in a metallic wire k heated by an electric current from a primary battery m. The heating-current flows through a fine resistance wire b, and, should the temperature rise above the allowable limit, the wire b elongates so far as to allow the completion of a circuit by a pivoted lever a and an adjustable contact-piece d, thereby energizing an electromagnet e, which pulls over an armature g and breaks the primary circuit. When the wires b and k have regained their normal temperature, the circuit is automatically made by the release of the armature. Slightly-modified arrangements are described.

Title: Improvements in Incandescent Gas Lamps or Lanters principally intended for Street Use.
Inventor: PROBERT ERNEST EDWIN
Filed: 1897-06-14
Granted: 1897-07-17
Abstract: 14,368. Probert, E. E., [Niermeyer, A. C.]. June 14. Lighting g a s.- To minimize the risk of damage to the mantles of incandescent s t r e e t and like gas lamps, the balanced lever L of the gas cock is operated by the end of the lamplighter's torch M, which also lifts a plate G hinged to the bottom of the lantern D. The movement of the plate G opens the pivoted flap H, and simultaneously, by means of the screw k, lifts the valve J and the gauze cone K of the pilot jet, which may then be ignited by raising the rod m<2> and the lamp m<1> of the torch into the position shown in full lines. On the withdrawal of the torch, the plate G, the flap H, and the valve J fall, extinguishing the pilot jet ; but the counterbalance weight of the gas cock retains the cock in the open position. The lighting-back of the main burner A from the pilot jet K is prevented by a shield O of which the air supply opening is at o.

Granted: 1900-03-10
Abstract: 8832. New, A. G. April 27. Gas and like engines, igniting in. The moment of ignition is automatically adjusted by the following means : - A cam F<2> opens the igniting- valve, and is adjusted by a rod K and bell crank K<3>. The rod K carries two racks K<21>, K<22>, which are operated on by pawls H<1> on a rod H which is made to reciprocate during the end of the compression and beginning of the igniting stroke by a cam J. When ignition is premature, a pawl is forced by the explosion acting on the piston G to engage with the rack K<22> before the rod H finishes its stroke away from the cam J, and adjusts the cam so as to produce a later ignition. If ignition should be late, the other pawl is not thrust clear of the rack K<21> until the rod begins its stroke towards the cam and the next ignition is made earlier.

Filed: 1899-06-27
Granted: 1899-09-16
Abstract: 13,320. Hofmann, O. June 27. Copper sulphate.-Crude solutions of this salt, containing quantities of iron and other impurities, are made by roasting pulverized copper matte or ore, and treating the product with hot dilute sulphuric acid, till the solution is neutralized as nearly as possible. The solution is then heated to 75‹ or 80‹ C., and air is blown through it for three or four hours, while pulverized copper oxide or roasted matte is added until the solution is free from iron, this being precipitated as ferric oxide, with other impurities and some basic copper sulphate. The solution is separated by a filter-press, and may be evaporated and crystallized. The precipitate is agitated with cold weak acid, which dissolves the basic sulphate mainly. The blowing of the solution may be done in a tower lined with sheet lead in an iron framing, with a funnel-shaped bottom and a steam heating-coil. The air pipe descends from the top to the bottom of the tower.

Title: Improvements in Machines for Making Nuts.
Inventor: DUNHAM GEORGE
Filed: 1899-12-27
Granted: 1900-03-10
Abstract: 25,556. Dunham, G. Dec. 27. Punching; shearing; forging.-A bar for making nuts is fed in the direction of the arrow a, Fig. 5. until its end bridges the fixed shearing- dies 35, 40 and abuts against a stop. The movable shearing-die, fixed to the slide 13. Fig. 6, lies immediately behind the punch 9. As this die in advancing pushes the bar slightly back, the cam working the pawl and ratchet feed has a slight incline to feed the bar forward again as this die moves back. The bar is then held by a vertical clamping-bar, and the movable shearing-die moves away so that the bar may stretch during the punching operation which immediately follows the shearing of a punched blank. The punch 9 for making the bolt-hole is fixed to the slide 12, and the slides 12, 13 are moved alternately by cranks on the main shaft. The punch 9 enters one of the holes 39 in the adjustable plate 38. The square blank is pushed down between the spring fingers 30, 36 by the bar 53 until it rests opposite the hexagonal die 25, into which the blank is forced by the punch 16. The end blank of a horizontal row in the channel b is forced against the crowning die 26, from which it is removed by the spring rod 27 and then pushed down between the spring arms 21 by the bar 55 until it rests opposite the hexagonal die 20 into which the blank is forced, in order to trim it, by the punch 17. The punches 16, 17 are on the same slide 13. The faces of the dies 20, 25 are differently arranged, as shown in Fig. 5, and the blank is correspondingly turned as it passes from one to the other by means of the spring fingers 21, one of which is struck before the other by the nut in its descent. The bars 53, 55 are carried by the same head 56, which is actuated by a cam, rock shaft, and bell-crank lever. The clamping-bar above mentioned is actuated by a cam and lever.
