Title: Improved Process of and Apparatus for Treating Peat for the Production of Fuel.
Inventor: ANDERSON JAMES
IPC: C10F5/00
Filed: 1911-04-20
Granted: 1912-04-22
Abstract: 9657. Anderson, J., and Hippius, J. April 20. Digesters.-A digester for the continuous production of fuel from peat is provided with mechanical discharging- valves which do not permit any direct communication of the interior of the digester with the atmosphere, and with separate means for maintaining the pressure. In the apparatus shown in Fig. 1, the peat is supplied by a pump H through a recuperator P, which is heated by the outgoing peat, to the digester K, from which it is delivered through the discharging - device M, to the recuperator P. The pressure in the digester may be maintained by means of an accumulator A, by controlling the action of the charging-pump H, or by forcing in air or gas. One form of the discharging-devices described comprises, as shown in Fig. 3, a chamber II which is alternately placed in communication with the pipe I connected to the digester and with the outlet pipe III by means of reciprocating pistons 9. A piston 2 acted on by a spring or the like assists in discharging the material from the chamber II. In modifications described, cylindrical or disk valves are used. In a further modification, the energy in the fluid mass leaving the digester is utilized by employing an hydraulic engine as the discharging- device; the power developed may be used in driving the charging-pump H. Specifications 10,834/03 and 20,420/03, [Class 50, Fuel, Manufacture of], are referred to.

Title: Improvements in Automatic Spooling Machines.
Inventor: BAINES EDMUND NORBURY
IPC: B65H54/04

Granted: 1912-05-02
Abstract: 15,935. Baines, E. N., and Schmidt, J. W., [trading as Ayrton & Co., W.]. July 10. Thread-spooling machines.-Relates to means for operating the reversing traverse mechanism and the lifting-motion of the thread-guides. Two whole nuts engage with a right and left handed traverse screw, and are alternately held from rotation by ratchet gear or brake-bands, operated by mechanism which is charged by means of the traverse carriage but controlled as to its period of action by the shaping - mechanism. The thread - guide shaft is traversed from the carriage by means of a spring rod, quadrants, and metal ribbons, and is raised after each layer is wound by means controlled from the shaping-mechanism. Nuts h, which are provided with threads of such pitch that they may be pushed along their screws, engage right and left handed threads on a shaft driven from the spindle wheel shaft, and are alternately held from rotation by ratchet pawls h<3> mounted on a shaft oscillated by a lever m, which can be operated only when one or the other of pawls m<2>, m<3> is released by a lever and rod n' connected with the shaping- mechanism. When the pawls are released, the lever m is moved by one or the other of two springs, which are alternately charged during the traverse by means of levers k, j, operated by a slot in the traverse carriage. The shaping-mechanism comprises a carriage n, resembling that described in Specification 15,084/02, and carrying inclined adjustable pieces o, which are engaged by stops o' on a rod reciprocated from the traverse carriage, so as to move the carriage n and thus release the pawls m', m<3>. The carriage n is moved so as to lengthen the traverse by means of a pinion p on a shaft o<2>, which is normally held by a ratchet p<5> and pawls q', q<3>, but is rotated slightly by a weight as the pawls are released during each stroke by a lever and rod connected to the lever m. The shaft o<2> also carries another pinion s<1> which operates a slide s that acts against a bowl attached to a lifter chain t and so gradually turns a shaft t<3> which rotates the threadguide shaft through a quadrant and so raises the thread-guides. The thread-guide shaft is reciprocated from the traverse carriage by means of a rod v, in two parts connected by a spring, quadrants, and metal ribbons w. The ribbons are connected with a sliding- bush in which the thread - guide shaft is pivoted, so that they are not twisted as the guide shaft is rotated to raise the guides.

Abstract: 1383. Leyner, J. G. March 25, 1911. Percussive drills.-In a chuck for rock drills, a key-ring 31 is locked by lugs 32 to a sleeve 13, arranged in a cylindrical bore in the front cylinder head 1, and has an approximately oblong aperture through which lugs 29 on the tool shank 25 are adapted to pass, the tool then being partly turned to lock it in position and to engage lugs 36 in the sleeve 13. A cap 7 which holds the key-ring in place, the cylinder 3, and the cylinder heads 1, 54 are resiliently held together by bolts passing through lugs and carrying springs which fit in side recesses in the cap 7. The piston 21 is reciprocated to strike the tool by motive fluid admitted through a valve 44, and is rotated during one stroke by a nut 52 engaging a rifle bar 68 having spring- pressed pawls which engage a frictionally-held ratchet ring 70. The rotation of the piston is conveyed to the tool through a fluted extension 23 of the piston, a nut 18 in the sleeve 13, and the lugs 36. A tube 28 which passes through the machine into the hollow tool 22 is secured to the rear cylinder cover by parts 62, 63, 64 arranged in a recess which is closed by a cap 61. Water from an inlet 56 passes through the tube 28 into the tool, where it meets air from the front end of the cylinder, and passes into the bore-hole as a spray.

Abstract: 8634. Cornu, J. April 11, 1911, [Convention date]. Copying and reproducing mechanism.-Paraboloids and ellipsoids of revolution are turned, chased, or polished by imparting to the tool a combined motion of a rotation about an axis, parallel to the axis in the case of the paraboloid and inclined to it in the case of the ellipsoid, and a longitudinal movement in an inclined plane; in the first case the diameter of the circle of rotation is equal to the ordinate of the parabola so that the tool generates the elliptical intersection between the paraboloid and a right cylinder. The work rotates about the axis O, and the tool B rotates about the axis X and is made to move in the inclined plane by a plate Q', Fig. 2, against which a spherical head S on the tool is pressed by a spring R. In a modification, a universal joint K, Fig. 3, connects the tool with a slide J which moves about an inclined axis.
