Patent GB-191105286-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Gas Producers and the like.
Inventor: PRATT ARTHUR EDWIN
IPC: C10J3/34
Filed: 1911-03-02
Granted: 1912-03-04
Abstract: 5286. Pratt, A. E. March 2. Grates; stoking.-In gas - producers having an under - feed stoking - device, and in which the fuel passes in a downward radial direction over the grate to a peripheral discharge opening, the grate is formed as a closed box having blast apertures, the air from which effects the combustion of the whole layer of fuel passing over the grate. The grate may be formed of two or more superposed parts having apertures, and relatively movable so that the distribution or level of the blast mav be varied, as described in Specification 5050/11. In the producer shown in Fig. 1, the blast from the pipe h passes through the annular passage i to the underside of the annular grate j having blast openings j'. Fuel from the hopper k is raised by the screw m attached to the outside of the hollow spindle m<1>, which is revolved by the shaft n, the lower end of which projects into it. The shaft n is driven by the worm o and externally-toothed ring o<2>, and has one or more projections n<1> to distribute the fuel which emerges from the passage l, preferably of screw form, to cause the fuel to travel outwards. The shaft n is capable of vertical movement, springs p, p<1> bearing against its ends. When, owing to any obstruction (such as a mass of clinker), the vertical play exceeds a certain amount, the projections o<3> at its top, which normally drive the shaft by engaging with slots in the ring o<2>, come out of engagement with these slots, thus stopping the shaft and preventing breakage. The shaft is water-cooled as shown. In the producer shown in Fig. 2, the grate consists of a fixed inner part j and a revolving outer pact j<3> secured to the revolving ash tank f. The upper part of the passage through which the blast is supplied is formed by the tank, and the fixed lower portion has a water-seal i'. The top of the outer part j<3> of the grate slopes at different angles in different directions, and also varies in width. This formation serves to distribute the fuel. According to the Provisional Specification, the passage for feeding the fuel upwards may be adjustable in height; or the fuel may be fed up round the periphery of the grate, the ashes passing downwards through a central passage; a blast-box may be provided on the central spindle.

Abstract: 6762. Schiller, B. March 18, 1910, [Convention date]. Testing physical qualities of materials.-In an hydraulic machine the base of the cylinder a and the upper part of the ram b are formed with cylindrical surfaces, and provision is made for carrying gripping-heads by which the ordinary tension and compression tests of specimens in the form of rods may be carried out.

Granted: 1911-08-10
Abstract: 15,377. Tarleton, T. July 1. Pencil, pricker, and like holders.-A holder g, Fig. 2, for pencils, needles, probes, &c. has a longitudinal groove k-l in which a wedge of a particular shape is adapted to slide. This wedge is deeper at its rear end, and is provided with two studs a, b to limit the motion of a slide-ring i and also with a spur c which depends behind the end of the lead or the like h. When the slide ring is at its rear position as shown in Fig. 2, the spur c grips into the bore of the holder, but when the slide-ring is pushed forward, the wedge is canted and the spur released, so that the lead may be protruded to any desired extent and subsequently locked in position by retracting the slide-ring again. In some cases the spur c may be omitted, and, if the holder is made of metal, the bore may be serrated.

Abstract: 1608. Stettiner Chamotte-Fabrik Act.-Ges. vorm. Didier. Sept. 11, 1911, [Convention date]. Coke ovens; retort furnaces. - In a retort furnace or coke oven in which combustion air is heated in reversible regenerators and combustible gas, more particularly one poor in hydrocarhons, is heated in recuperators, the waste-gas inlet-floes to the recuperators arc connected to those of the regenerators. As shown applied to an horizontal coke oven having a flame current of constant direction and sole-flues 14, 27, 16 for waste gases, combustible gas, and air, respectively, the regenerators 8, 9 and recuperators 19 are arranged at the opposite ends of the structure.

Blast furnace, producer, or other combustible gas is led through conduits 26, 25 to the intermediate passage 18 of the recuperator, and thence to the flues 27. The relative amount of heating of the gas and air is adjusted by means of the dampers 21. in the passages 20. The invention is applicable also to vertical retorts.

Granted: 1913-01-23
Abstract: 5280. Cox, H. W. March 2. Switches.-Relates to enclosed switches of the kind in which the lids of the cases are locked when the bridge contacts (which are carried in a sliding frame) are brought into the closed position, and consists in arranging the moving bridge contacts D, which may be interconnected by fuses G, upon a frame E, E<1> which slides longitudinally, in a plane parallel to the lid C<1>, upon longitudinal guide-bars F attached to the lid so as to engage the fixed contacts A mounted upon insulating framemembers B in the body of the case. The switch is operated by an external handle connected to the spindle H which carries a lever J, to which is pivoted the lever K. The other end of the lever K is pivoted to the sliding frame. If a quick break is desired, springs M, which tend to move the switch frame to the off position, are introduced upon the guide-bars F, and the handle is connected to the spindle H through a lost-motion connexion so that, in switching off, when the levers J, K have been moved positively across the line of centres the springs operate to produce a quick break. Mechanism such as described in Specification 18,872/02 may be employed to give both a quick make and a quick break. By introducing additional main contacts A, the switch may be adapted for use as a change-over switch. Switch mechanism interlocking with lids.-In the closed position of the switch, the extremity of the sliding frame engages below a projection N, Fig. 3, upon the case and prevents the lid from being opened.

Granted: 1913-02-20
Abstract: 7606. Woodhouse, J. March 28. Tokens, issuing and registering number of.- The apparatus comprises a casing 1 bearing- lugs 4, to which is attached a plate 3 grooved at one end on its upper and lower surfaces to carry pairs of slides 6, 7, Figs. 3 and 6. The upper slides 6 are provided with slots 12, and the lower ones with slots 13 inclined as shown in. Fig. 3. Mounted to move on the under side of the plate 3 is a slide formed of two plates 15 united by a cross piece 16 and guided by fixed pins 18, passing through slots in the slide, and pins 20 carried by the slide and passing through a slot 14 in the plate 3 and through the inclined slots 12, 13. When the handle is in the position shown in Fig. 3 the checks are supported at the base of a container 9 by the slides 7. Inward movement of the slide 15 withdraws, by means of the pins 20 and the slots 12, 13, the slides 7 and moves the slides 6 inwards, thus allowing the lowest check to fall, the remainder being supported on the slides 6. The outward movement of the slide 15 reverses these positions. The edges of the checks and the slides 6 are bevelled to facilitate the entrance of the slides 6. Complete movement of the slide in either direction is ensured by the provision of a full-stroke pawl 24 and ratchet-plate 25. A counter to register the number of checks issued is adapted to be actuated by a spring - controlled lever 34, pivoted at 33 to the cross plate 30, only when there is a check in the container 9. The lever moves in a slot in the plate 3 and is provided with a bent end 35, which engages a bell-crank lever 30 when the arm 36 of the lever is moved outward on striking a check. Should there be no checks in the container, the lever moves forward without actuating the counter. The counter-actuating arm 30 is returned to its original position by a projection 29 carried by the cross-plate 16. The checks are threaded upon a rod 40 carried by an upwardly-extending pin 42 mounted in a U-shaped member 43 supported by standards 44. The member 43 is provided with holes 41 for the insertion of a locking-bar.
