Patent GB-191224162-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Burnishing Machines for use in the Manufacture of Boots and Shoes.
Inventor: STACKPOLE CHARLES FERNALD
IPC: A43D95/24
Filed: 1912-10-22
Granted: 1913-11-24
Abstract: 24,162. Stackpole, C. F. Oct. 22. Burnishing.-Burnishing-tools 5 are detachably secured to supports 7<a> extending from a tool stock 7, which can be turned to bring any tool into operation in a carrier 4. The carrier 4 is connected by bolts to a vertical extension at one end of a cee-spring 8, the other end of which is furnished with an horizontal extension made fast by a bolt X<1> to the underside of a forwardly projecting portion 9 of a plate which is bolted on the top of the machine head 1. The bolt X<1> passes through a slotted hole in the extension, thus enabling the carrier 4 to be adjusted relatively to a cam shaft 2. The shaft 2 is provided with a cam 6, which may take the form of a simple eccentric, a two-throw elliptical cam, or a threethrow triangular cam. A shell or jacket 10 of vulcanized fibre encases the cam, and the pressure of the spring 8 holds the carrier 4 against the cam in all its positions, thus causing a rapid vibratory movement to be given to the tool when the shaft is rotated. The tool is heated by the heat generated through the friction between the carrier and the rapidly moving cam. To vary the heating, the pressure with which the carrier is held against the cam is varied by altering the position of the spring 8. To enable this to be done with great nicety, the horizontal extension of the spring is fitted with a screw 11 adapted to engage the plate 9. A lock-nut holds the spring in adjusted position. A layer of asbestos 4<Î> is inserted between the toolcarrier and the spring to prevent transmission of heat, and a similar layer is inserted between the plate 9 and the machine head to deaden the sound. In a modification, the tool-carrier swings from one end of a link, the other end of which is pivoted to the machine head. The link, which is approximately horizontal, may be turned on its pivot to adjust the vertical position of the tool. A leafspring, the tension of which may be adjusted, holds the tool-carrier against the cam. In a further modification, a positive movement in each direction is given by the cam. The tool may be made integral with its stock.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Resinous and Wax-like Condensation Products and Process of Making the same.
IPC: C08G63/46
Filed: 1912-10-23
Granted: 1913-11-24
Abstract: 24,254. British Thomson-Houston Co., [General Electric Co.]. Oct. 23. Samples furnished. Varnishes. - Esters of polyhydric alcohols which are of a resinous or wax-like nature, and useful in the production of varnishes are obtained by heating a polyhydric alcohol such as glycerine with an amount of a polybasic acid or its anhydride insufficient to esterify the hydroxyl groups completely, and then completing the esterification by treating the product with another acid. Polybasic acids or their anhydrides which may be used are succinic, tartaric, glutaric, malic, and camphoric acids and phthalic anhydride. Suitable acids for use in completing the esterification, are in addition to the above-mentioned polybasic acids, various monobasic and substituted mono-or di-basic acids, such as propionic, stearic, palmitic, oleic, benzoic, lactic, salicylic,' glycollic, chloracetic, chlorbenzoic, and chlorpropionic acids, also colophony, &c. The esters may be hardened by further heating to a higher temperature. They may also be powdered and moulded under pressure with addition of fillers such as asbestos or ground slate. Specifications 12,807/84 and 9027/86 are referred to.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Gas Producers.
Inventor: TAIT GODFREY MEYNELL SELWIN
Filed: 1913-01-07
Granted: 1913-10-23
Abstract: 500. Tait, G. M. S. Jan. 7. Oil gas.-The oil is maintained at constant level in an annular container 11 in the generator 1, which also contains a bed of refractory material 22. In the gas-outlet pipe 5 and stack pipe 6 are suction fans 10 and 9 respectively, which draw air through the main air inlet 20. Air is also admitted close to the surface of the oil by pipes 17 from a bustle pipe 16. To start the apparatus, some readily ignitable fluid may be introduced by a pipe 23 to assist in the vaporization of the oil in the container 11. Complete combustion of the oil takes place until the generator and refractory material are heated, whereupon incomplete combustion is started and a combustible gas is produced, the quality of which is shown by the colour of the flame at the mouth of the stack pipe 6. A valve 8 in the stack pipe is closed and a valve 7 in the gas-outlet pipe opened, suction from the fan 10 keeping the generator in operation.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Apparatus for Feeding Pulverulent Fuel to Furnaces.
Inventor: MUHLFELD JOHN ERHARD
IPC: F23K3/00
Filed: 1915-09-13
Abstract: 13,067. Muhlfeld, J. E., and Caracristi, V. Z. Sept. 13. Fuel, feeding.-Relates to apparatus by which pulverulent fuel is fed to locomotive and other r furnaces by means of air jets or a current of air. With the apparatus shown in Fig. 2 the fuel is fed forward by one or more screws 65, of graduallyincreasing pitch, arranged in troughs at the base of the fuel container of a locomotive tender and driven by an electromotor. Each screw brings the fuel under the action of an annular jet of air supplied by a pipe 77. A series of radial blades 81 are fitted on the shaft of the screw in front of the air nozzle; they may be straight or inclined to the axis. The stream of air and fuel is delivered by a pipe with a terminal nozzle 80 into a tube 82 and so to the firebox, a further supply of air being admitted at the downwardly-turned rear end of the tube 82. Fig. 11 shows a modified form of apparatus in which excess of fuel delivered to the annular air nozzle 177 by the feed screw 166 is returned by an outer enveloping screw 152, which projects forward beyond the air nozzle. Fig. 12 shows a further modification in which the annular air nozzle is replaced by a circumferential series of forwardly directed perforations 256 in the hollow return screw 254. With the apparatus shown in Fig. 14, the fuel delivered by the feed screw 352 falls on the top of a supporting jet of air, which occupies only the lower portion of the mixing nozzle, and which may be of cup-shaped, semicircular, or flattened section, or have its upper surface furrowed by suitably shaping the orifice 360 of the air nozzle, or double superposed jets may be employed. The stream of air spreads and envelopes the fuel. A return screw 365 is provided for removing excess of fuel. Fig. 24 shows another form of apparatus in which the fuel is fed forward by an outer hollow screw 466 and delivered to a series of measuring wheels 457 which discharge it into a series of air conduits 462. Excess of fuel passes through openings in the hollow feed screw at its forward end and is returned by an inner screw 470, being gathered up by longitudinal wings or vanes on the feed screw. Several measuring wheels may discharge into a single air conduit, which may run transversely to them. Fig. 28 shows a form of apparatus in which the fuel is discharged by a series of vertical tubes 551 into a horizontal stream of air, the outlet ends of the tubes being at different elevations. Feeding screws are fitted in the tubes.
