Patent GB-191308126-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Gas Producers.
Inventor: HART WILLIAM
IPC: C10J3/00
Filed: 1913-04-07
Granted: 1914-04-02
Abstract: 8126. Hart, W. April 7. Producers. - In a gas-producer, preliminary combustion of the fuel takes place in a chamber 1, and the fuel then passes into a shaft 5, 6, and air is supplied below a grate 8 and heated air or steam through apertures 3 at the top of the shaft, the gas being withdrawn from an annulus 7 half way down the shaft. The gas leaving the fuel bed is passed into a cooler 35 containing baffle - plates 37 and through an annular passage 28 surrounding a hot part of the fuel bed whereby the gases are reheated and any hydrocarbons gasified. The gases are then driven by a pump into a cooling chamber having baffles 43 and through a filter 46 packed with cocoanut fibre or the like, finally leaving the apparatus through an outlet 49. Air is supplied to the preliminary combustion chamber 1 through doors 16 or 17. The apparatus, for the purpose of exhausting a charge, may be operated as an up-draught producer, air being admitted only below the grate 8. Wood and light waste fuel may be employed, and the apparatus may be mounted on a truck or may have wheels fitted to axles forming part of the structure to facilitate transportation.

Granted: 1914-04-09
Abstract: 8648. Buckler, W., and Kerr, O. April 12. Sleeves and legs; jerseys &c.-Knitted garments are provided with one or more contractible and expansible parts having an elastic band enclosed between the garment fabric without doubling or folding this fabric. The garment, such as a pair of knickers, is made of single-ply fabric 3 until the point is reached where an elastic band is required, such as the ends of sleeves and legs and at the waist. The method of knitting is then changed and a double-ply fabric is made having two walls 3<c>, 3<f> to enclose a rubber band 1. When a length of double ply has been made, sufficient to enclose the elastic, the single-ply fabric is resumed. Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specifications 18,518/94, 8396/12, and 21,432/13.

Title: Improvements in the Reduction of Nitrate of Lime and other Salts to Powder.
IPC: C01F11/44
Filed: 1914-01-07
Granted: 1914-10-29
Abstract: 468. Norsk Hydro-Elektrisk Kvaelstofaktieselskab. Jan. 23, 1913, [Convention date]. Granulating or pulverizing.-Nitrate of lime and other metallic salts are granulated without the formation of dust by causing them to flow in a molten state through a perforated plate, the drops so formed being hardened or solidified by causing them to move through air or other gas. The plate is disposed across a shaft or the like through which the air may be forced to reduce the velocity of the drops; in the case of a hygroscopic substance, the air may be circulated, and, if desired, cooled. An inert gas may replace the air. To facilitate quick solidification, the same substance in a pulverized solid state may be added to the molten mass before it reaches the plate. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) states also that the molten material may be reduced to drops by causing it to flow on to rotating disks or through rotating tangential nozzles, or by the use of injectorshaped nozzles and gaseous pressure. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Abstract: 15,186. Krupp Akt.-Ges. Grusonwerk, F. July 1, 1913, [Convention date]. Thrashing-machines.-A machine for removing palm fruit or the like from its stems comprises beaters d rotating upon a shaft e and striking the fruit while moving upwardly. The fruit may be projected against a grating i, which permits inspection of the operation, and which may be arranged with its lower end nearer the beaters d to prevent the fruit-bunches from being carried round. For this purpose, an adjustable grating l, Fig. 2, the bars of which lie between the beaters d, may alternatively be employed. The fruit falls down a shoot f, and a door k permits removal of the stems. If the machine is to work continuously, the beaters d may be formed or arranged helically, or the grating l may be further from the shaft at the feed end than at the other end, where the outlet for stems is provided. The beaters d may be shorter near the outlet. In the form shown in Fig. 6, arms t intermeshing with the beaters d replace the grating l, and arms v projecting through a grating u feed the fruit to the beaters d, which are of oblique or helical form. The stems are delivered down a shoot r. A blower g separates the glumes from the fruit.

Abstract: 11,977. Swan, W. W. Aug. 19. Steering, balancing, and regulating altitude of aeroplanes automatically. A shaft 4, continuously driven, carries two or more disks 6, on each side of which drums 13, carrying the warping-cords, are arranged so as to be put into frictional contact with, and be driven by, the disk. Hydrostatic pressure reservoirs A, B, C, D consist of pairs of non-rotating disks, between which rubber or other bags containing mercury &c. are placed, so that any increase of pressure in the liquid can cause the inner disk to act on the drum 13 and cause it to engage with its driving-disk 6. For balancing purposes, the reservoirs A, B, C, D are provided with tubes a, b, c, d filled with liquid. The tubes a, d extend fore and aft, and the tubes b, c extend some distance along the wings. For steering and controlling the altitude, magnets 22, 24, 23, 25 are arranged in opposing pairs, each pair having a sliding armature rod 26 or 28. The armature rod 26 carries pistons acting on the hydrostatic reservoirs A, D, the operating-magnets 23, 25 being arranged in circuit with the pointer of a barometer X. The contacts on the barometer can be set for any altitude, so that any deviation causes the closure of one of the circuits and thus, through the hydrostatic reservoirs, causes the machine to resume its predetermined altitude. The armature rod 28 of the magnets 22, 24 has pistons which act on the hydrostatic reservoirs B, C, the magnets 22, 24 being connected up to contacts on a compass Y, which can be set for the required course, any deviation from this course causing the wings to be warped to bring the machine back to its course ; or when the steering is effected by the rudder, these magnets are caused to act on additional hydrostatic reservoirs controlling the steering-lines.
