Title: Improvements relating to a Continuous Process and Apparatus for the Distillation and Rectification of Alcoholic Liquids.
Inventor: SLAVICEK VICTOR
Filed: 1908-10-06
Granted: 1909-09-30
Abstract: 21,068. Slavicek, v. Oct. 6. Distilling spirits.-A portion of the vapours generated in the analyser A, B is led by a pipe 5 to a purifying-column C, D, where the head products are separated ; it is then returned in the liquid state by a pipe 6, and is mixed in the form of spray with the remainder of the vapours from the still A, B in a pipe 7 leading to the rectifying- column E, F. During the admixture of the liquid and vapours, an exchange of constituents takes place, alcohol being evaporated and tail products being condensed ; consequently the vapours entering the rectifying-column E, F are to a large extent freed from tail products. The vapours emerging from the upper part of the rectifier pass through a dephlegmator H into a condenser J, where they are condensed at the highest possible temperature. The resulting liquid passes into a column K with a heater 13 at its base, the fine spirit being led away by a pipe 15. The impurities evaporated in the column K together with the vapours which escape from the condenser J return through a pipe 14 with a non-return valve 16 to the purifier C, D. A trap 7<a>, Fig. 3, may be provided in the pipe 7 in order to prevent any mash or scum from passing to the rectifier. The steam regulator L is controlled by the pressure in the pipe 7, which is in communication with all the columns comprised in the apparatus. The flow of the alcoholic liquid through the pipe 6 is regulated by a thermostatic device, Fig. 3, placed in that part of the column E, F which contains the tail products, and comprising a capsule 22, containing a suitable liquid and abutting on a bracket 26, so that the expansion consequent on a rise of temperature pushes a rod 23 against the action of a spring 27 and thus opens a valve 25 on the pipe 6. The discharge of the spent wash &c. may be similarly regulated.

Filed: 1908-11-03
Granted: 1909-10-28
Abstract: 23,412. Gouldbourn, J., and British United Shoe Machinery Co. Nov. 3. ' Hammers, power.-Machines for use in beating- out welts are modified so as to reduce the vibration, and to facilitate the adjustment of the spring in the chain of parts which actuates the hammer; and of the height between the hammer and the anvil. The upper end of the hammer plunger C<1> is pivotally connected to one arm of a lever E, which is pivoted on a sleeve mounted on a shaft F. The other arm E<1> of this lever carries an adjusting-screw E<2> for a special spring G<3>, which is located in an arm G<1> of a second lever G also pivoted to the sleeve referred to above. The other arm of the lever G is pivotally connected to a rod D, which is actuated by an eccentric B<1> on the driving-shaft B. The levers E, G are furnished with stop faces to limit the motion between them in the direction in which the spring G<3> tends to separate them. With this construction, the motion of the connecting-rod D is transmitted through the spring G<3> and the stop faces to the lever E, and thence to the hammer, which imparts a yielding blow to the work. To enable the distance between the hammer and the anvil L to be adjusted, the shaft F is eccentrically mounted on journals F<1>, F<2>, Fig. 2, carried in bearings F3, F<4> located in extensions F<5> from the machine frame. A handle H affords means for rotating the shaft F, which is retained in its adjusted position by a spring K<1> and nut K. Conveniently, the arms E', G<1>, and the adjusting- devices for the spring G<3> are made to balance the hammer, the'plunger C<1>, and the connecting-rod D about their axis of oscillation.
