Patent EE-200000273-A (EE)
Inventor: LENNART JOHANSSON
IPC: E04F15/024
Filed: 2000-04-19
Abstract: A building construction for floors including joists that have vertical, threaded, through-running holes for level-adjusting spacer screws, which protrude from the joist on its underside for adjusting the top side of the joist to a desired level, an elastic damping body being arranged at the anterior screw portion and having an outer part, which forms a resilient connection between the screw and the substructure, and an inner part, which is located inside a central hole in the screw. The inner part forms a resilient engagement element for cooperation with an inner support surface in the bottom part of the screw. An attachment element for anchoring the screw to the substructure extends through a central hole in the damping body. The cross section of the inner part is greater than the diameter of the bottom part.

Title: An Improved Method of and Apparatus for obtaining Motive Power.
Inventor: MAXIM HUDSON
Filed: 1897-01-29
Granted: 1898-01-29
Abstract: 2471. Maxim, H. Jan. 29. Closed-circuit engines.- Consists of a form of closed-circuit steam or vapour motor especially suitable for motor vehicles, and particularly advantageous where light tubular boilers are employed. Either distilled water, naphtha, or a mixture of water and alcohol, may be employed as the motive agent. When naphtha is used, a portion may be burnt for heating the boiler, the supply to the burner being automatically regulated by a diaphragm apparatus that tends to shut it off as the pressure rises. The leading feature of the invention is the condensation of the exhaust at a sufficiently high pressure (100 to 300 lbs. per sq. in.) for its temperature to be considerably above the boiling point of water. The condensation is mainly effected by evaporating water in a tubular condenser. When applied to road vehicles, the hollow frame of the vehicle may be used as a supplementary air-cooled condenser. In Fig. 1, A is the casing of the coiled-tube generator, shown in section in Fig. 2, B is the motor, C the tubular condenser, and D the feed or circulating pump. The apparatus for regulating the gaseous fuel supply to the burner M is shown in Fig. 2.

Title: Improvements in Cigarette Machines.
Inventor: WEIR THOMAS HAMILTON
Filed: 1898-07-20
Granted: 1898-10-01
Abstract: 15,853. Weir, T. H., [Ludington, F. J.]. July 20. Cigarette-making machines.-Relates to a machine producing a continuous cigarette rod. Fig. 1 shows a plan view of the machine. Any suitableformof tobacco-feeding mechanism may be employed which will shower disintegrated tobacco uniformly into the channel b, through which the endless tape and the paper wrapping-strip pass, such mechanism being mounted on the frameA'. The channel b is provided with overhanging edges under which fit the edges of the tape and wrapper, so that fragments of tobacco may not get underneath the latter. The channel b narrows towards its end, and a series of compressing wheels or rollers C', C<2>, C<3> compress the tobacco into a rod of circular section, which finally passes between the wheels D, D<1> shown in section in Fig. 12, an upturned edge of paper f being left for pasting. Figs. 37 and 40 show modifications in the type of pressure wheel &c. employed in forming the rod. The tape, which is provided with a tension device for preventing slack, now carries the rod and wrapper into the folding-tube E, a slit in which accommodates the upstanding edge of paper. A horizontal wheel T<5>, shown in Fig. 17, pastes the edge, the paste being supplied by the step-by-step progression of a piston in the paste cylinder T causing the issue of paste through a channel T<3> and its diffusion over the curved surface of a wheel T' which contacts with the paste-wheel. The pillar T' can be raised or turned to adjust the position of the paste-wheel as required. The pasted edge is folded down to complete the cigarette rod, and the pasted seam pressed to fully set the joint. The cigarette rod is cut into cigarettes of suitable length by a circular blade V<10>, arranged so as to travel with the speed of the cigarette rod during the act of cutting. It is mounted in bearings v<9> on a carriage V<3>, Fig. 26, which is reciprocated on guides v<4> by means of a crank-pin v<6> and pitman v<5>. The guides v<4> are formed on another carriage which travels on the bars v<2>, and a camgroove formed in the disc V determines its movement, and the approach of the knife to the cigarette rod, by its action on a pin or stud depending from the carriage. The knife enters between the guiding-tubes w<2>, w<4> carried by the block w<1> which reciprocates with the carriage v<3>. The tube w<4> is slightly bevelled to allow of the entry of the knife, and a spring w<6> keeps it in contact with the tube w<2>. The cigarettes are discharged from the machine down a chute Y, Fig. 31, and fall into a hopper y, the bottom of which is formed by the rotating drum Y<2>. The cigarettes pass round the drum and past a slight obstruction at y<4>, being then discharged between the slotted end wall of a box y<7> and a depending plate y<9> adapted to pass through the slot. As the box advances with the slowly-moving belt Y<5>, the cigarettes are neatly stacked within it, the plate y<9> finally passing out through the slot at the other end.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Regenerating Exhaust Steam.
Inventor: BARRON HUGH JAMES
Filed: 1898-11-24
Granted: 1899-03-11
Abstract: 24,831. Barron, H. J. Nov. 24. Exhaust, obtaining power from; systems of working.-The object is to regenerate the exhaust discharged from the engine, partly by association with high - pressure live steam,and partly by compressing and superheating. Fig. 1 shows in side elevation a duplex or alternating form of the apparatus, in which there are two chambers B side by side suitably connected by pipes controlled by rocking valves worked by eccentrics on a shaft H. The engine, which is not shown, receives steam from the pipe P' and returns the exhaust by the pipe Q. Live steam is introduced by a pipe 0, a part being conveyed by the pipe O<2> to one or other of the mixing- chambers B, and the remainder passing through the reducing- valve O<1> to the engine. The regenerated exhaust, mixed with live steam, passes on its way to the engine through the rotary apparatus G<2>, rotating the shaft H and the exhauster G<3>. The exhauster withdraws the remaining steam from the chamber B, and passes it into the pipe P' through the tubular heater N, through which hot water is circulated. The Specification also describes a modification in which a single chamber with a reciprocating piston is used in place of the duplex arrangement.

Filed: 1899-01-17
Granted: 1899-12-23
Abstract: 1078. Thompson, G. F. Jan. 17. Sieves or sifting-surfaces, cleaning.-Relates to brushing-apparatus for cleaning the undersides of sieves of the type described in Specification No. 19,142, A.D. 1897, and comprises means for securing the brushes at the required angle, for reversing the angle when the direction of motion is changed, and for enabling the brushes to adapt themselves to irregularities in the sieves &c. In the application to a plansifter, shown in Fig. 1, the brush A is pivoted in a recess N formed in a yoke B mobnted on studs S secured to transverse members C connected by parts D which rest on rails E. The yoke B is supported by springs H. The brush is maintained at the required angle by a stop F and by notches formed in the recess N, the inclination of the bristles causing the sieve to move it backward until it engages a stop which releases it from the stop &c. F and causes it to incline the other way, thus reversing the motion. In a modification, two brushes carried outside the studs S in recesses in the yoke B are used. In machines where the space beneath the sieve is large, the carriers C are secured to a single member, which slides on a central rail. In another form, the central member may consist of a flat spring, the springs H being dispensed with.
