Title: Apparatus for continuous extraction by pressure
IPC: B30B9/20
Filed: 1922-07-13
Abstract: 198,316. Navarre, P. May 26. 1922, [Convention date]. Fatty oils, extracting.-In apparatus, applicable for extracting oil from fatty matter, comprising a fixed or rotating' drum 1, Fig. 13, of perforated metal, wire gauze or supported filtering-fabric, and rollers 12, which press the material against the wall of the drum, the rollers are inclined to the generators of the drum, so as to direct the material through from the inlet to the outlet end of the drum; or inclined plates 30, Fig. 17, are provided for the same purpose. The rollers are mounted on a rotating support 10, and may rotate under friction or may be driven mechanically in the same direction as the support 10, or in the reverse direction, by pinions 27 gearing with a fixed toothed wheel 25. The plates 30 may be fixed to the supports 10 between the rollers. Short plates situated at either end of the rollers may be used. The rollers may be so formed or arranged that their distance from the cylinder diminishes from the inlet to the outlet end and they may be helically grooved. Scrapers may be associated with each roller for the purpose of removing matter which adheres to the roller. The, supports 10 may take the form of cheeks or arms radiating from a shaft 11. The rollers may have ball bearings which may slide in mortices 24, Fig. 9, in the support 10 under the pressure of springs 22. As shown in Fig. 12, pivot points 19 for the rollers are carried in slides 12<a>, the position of which upon the cheeks or arms 10 can be regulated by pressure screws 10<a> and fixed by bolts 10<b>. The shaft 11 may be hollow and provided with radial tubes 32<a> by which heating or cooling fluid can be supplied to the interior of the rollers, lubricant to the bearings of the rollers, or a treating fluid to the material in the drum. A scraper may be arranged to remove material adhering to the outside of the the drum, and partitions to separate the liquid which has passed through different portions of the drum. Fig. 23 shows an arrangement in which the drum is vertical. It is stated that in this case centrifugal action will combine with the pressure of the rollers to secure a more efficacious extraction. Matter which does not pass through the perfcrations is lifted by the rollers and discharged through a conduit 13.

Abstract: 1461980 Suture apparatus VSES N I I ISPYTATEL INST MEDITSIN TEKHN 2 May 1974 [28 Sept 1973] 19402/74 Heading A5R A surgical apparatus for suturing soft tissues with staples comprises two guides 1, 2 interhinged at one end, the free ends biased apart by a spring 3, magazine 4 for storing a plurality of U-shaped staples at the free end of guide- 1, a pusher 5 slidable along guide 1 to eject the staples from magazine 4 points first two pairs of curvilinear needle-shaped dies 6 on the free ends for seizing tissue as the guides are brought together, a mechanism 7 for displacing said magazine and feeding new staples to the working position, knives 10, 11 for cutting the tissue between the applied staples and an L-shaped member 9 on the free end of guide 1 for detaching the tissue. Dies 6 and member 9 are rounded off at the tips. The surgeon places the dies 6 about a duct to be sutured and pushes lever 12 connected to pusher 5 towards the free ends of the guides 1, 2 thus moving the free ends of the guides 1, 2 together. Projection 30 on pusher 5 moves in slot 28 to turn lever 27 and via spring 29 to turn magazine 4 presenting a pair of staples to be ejected by pusher 5. Projections 22 of lever 12 slide in groove 23 of guide 1 until each end of each staple reaches the curved portion of its die 6 when projections 22 leave grooves 23 and lever 12 turns on its axle 21, projection 19 of lever 12 entering hole 20 in guide 2 and bearing against the side of the hole 20 nearest the guides' hinge to aid movement of pusher 5 until the latter contacts eccentric stop 32. The staples are bent by grooves in the dies 6. The surgeon pulls and presses lever 12 so its projection 19 bears against the side of hole 20 nearest the guides' free ends aiding the movement of pusher 5 back towards the hinge. Projection 13 of lever 12 pushes projection 16 of lever 14 turning the latter about axle 33 and causing knife 11 to cut the duct. The projections 22 of lever 12 reengage grooves 23 and as lever 12 moves towards the guides' hinge, projection 13 disengages from projection 16 allowing spring 15 to return the knife 11 to its original position. The free ends of the guides spring apart. Projection 13 can be retracted inside lever 12 by turning handle 18 so that no cutting of the sutured duct is performed.

In two-stroke engines in which the whole or a substantial part of the scavenging and charging air is supplied by turbo-blowers, the times of opening the exhaust valve and commencement of fuel injection are advanced at loads substantially below normal. Mechanically-driven blowers may assist the turboblowers or act as stand-by. As shown, a shaft 1 carries a cam 2 which actuates the exhaust valve through a roller 4, push rod 5 and a rocker arm, and a cam 3 for actuating the fuel pump through a roller 6 and a push rod. The roller 4 can be moved in the direction p<SP>1</SP> to advance the exhaust valve opening by pulling downwardly on a rod 12 pivoted to an arm 11 keyed to a shaft 10 carrying an eccentric sheave 9 on which is mounted a strap 8 pivoted to the rod 5 at 7. The rod 12 simultaneously operates a similar device for adjusting the fuel pump timing. The rod 12 may be operated manually or the shaft 10 may be coupled to the load adjustment member of the engine for automatic operation, e.g. to a member which determines the output of the fuel pump. The eccentricity of the sheave 9 for moving the roller 4 may be different from that acting on the roller 6, and the lengths of the members 8 may be adjustable. The shaft 10 may be that used for transverse movement of the rollers 4, 6 for reversing the engine.
