Combing-machines.-In wool-combing machines of the Noble type, the slivers 3, Fig. 1, are fed from balls 4, mounted in a creel 5, by feed-boxes 2 mounted on a rotating circular frame 1, and the ends are lashed over the teeth of a comb circle 6 carried by the frame 1, and over the teeth of a revolving comb 10, the fibres being pressed into the teeth by a reciprocating dabbing-brush 8. The rotation of the frame and comb 10 combs out the fibres, and the combed ends are carried round and laid over two concentric rings of serrations formed on rotating wheels 11, 12. The wheels 11, 12 are similar, each being formed with a groove between the rings of serrations to receive a ring 16, Figs. 5 and 10, of ductile metal, composition, or the like, which is raised at one part of its revolution by a stationary roller to allow the cleaned fringe of fibres to be laid over the serrations and below the ring. A rotating guide 19 is mounted on a fixed vertical spindle passing up through the hollow shaft of each wheel 11, 12, and apertures are formed in the guide to receive a series of beaters 21, each provided with a head 23 and afoot 22. Stationary cams engage with the feet and heads of the beaters respectively, one of the cams raising suitable beaters to allow the ring 16 to be lifted by the roller when requited, and the other cam 24 acting, on the further rotation of the wheel, to depress the beaters and ring so that the fibres are gripped and carried round until the upper cam again acts to allow the cleaned fibres to be drawn off between the belts 32, 33 in a continuous sliver. The slivers from the wheels pass together through an aperture in a sliver guide 35, and are wound on a reel. A tension device 34 keeps the belts 32, 33 in position, and the cam 24 is supported in a resilient manner by springs 29 and rods 28 from a plate 27. The creel 5 and feed-boxes 2 extend all round the machine, and two or more sets comprising a comb 10, wheels 11, 12, and belts 32,33, may be employed.

Title: Carburetters for Internal Combustion Engines
Inventor: EVENO ALEXANDRE
IPC: F02M31/18
Filed: 1905-02-18
Granted: 1906-01-11
Abstract: 3407. Eveno, A. Feb. 18. Gas or explosive-vapour engines, carburetting in. In the carburettor shown in Fig. 1, liquid fuel is admitted to the chamber E through the nozzle I, and passes through the passage t to a vaporizing- chamber B, heated by the exhaust gases. The chamber is provided with changeable helical diaphragms c which form conduits for the passage of the fuel to the carburetting- nozzle 2. Vaporized fuel is admitted to the mixing- chamber through ports g in the nozzle 2, and carburets hot or other air entering through the ports o when the hand or governor operated sleeve uncovers the ports surrounding the lower part of the nozzle 2. An auxiliary supply of air is admitted above the spraying-nozzle when the ports f, f' are brought into coincidence. When starting, liquid may be fed directly to the nozzle 3, by a cock R, Fig. 2, which controls the supply of fuel to the spraying- nozzles I, 3. The diaphragm c and sleeve 6 may be replaced by others of different size to suit the fuel in use. If at any time the temperature of the exhaust gases should be too high, water may be injected into the chamber A, or through the nozzle J into the chamber E to maintain the vaporized fuel at a suitable temperature. When heavy fuels requiring a considerable amount of heat to vaporize them are used, the vaporizer B may be separated from the carburettor and be heated by a furnace, flame, or otherwise, the volatile products being drawn away by a fan and cooled, before passing to the carburettor. Fig. 4 shows an apparatus for vaporizing fuels requiring a high temperature. The fuel passes first into a vaporizer B, such as previously described, heated by the exhaust gases. From this the volatile products flow by a pipe i into a plumbago-lined retort l heated to about 900‹ C. The unvaporized oil from the vaporizer B passes to a receiver k and thence to the retort l. A fan m draws the gases to a cooler p, in which a certain portion of non-fixed gases are condensed. This condensate flows back to the retort l to be re-vaporized into a gas stable at the temperature of the cooler p.

Granted: 1906-10-04
Abstract: 23,650. Young, W., and Glover, S. Nov. 17. Gas retorts.-Relates to a method of destructive distillation of coal in which the volatile matters evolved are subjected to the action of radiant heat with a view to the production of permanent gas, the sooty and tarry materials being separated by passing the gas through the fresh charge of coal. The process is preferably carried out in vertical or highly inclined retorts such as the vertical retorts described in Specifications No. 1377, A.D. 1882, No. 13,665, A.D. 1897, and No. 15,238, A.D. 1899. The coal is fed to large hoppers F, from which it passes to measuring-hoppers G, of which there is one to each pair of retorts, and thence to a drying- chamber H from which it is discharged by rotating arms H<1> into the retorts A which are filled to about four-fifths of their height. The coke is withdrawn by means of right and left hand screws I to a discharging-hopper J. The feeding of the coal and the discharge of the coke may be either continuous or intermittent. The coke and the screws I are cooled by water from orifices c<1>. The retort is heated by producer gas supplied to flues L<2>, heated air being supplied to a flue M'. The burning gas passes round flues B, and the various parts of the retort are subjected to different temperatures by regulated secondary air supply through flues M<2>, the temperature being highest at the base of the charge and lower at the upper sections of the retort. The gas generated passes through the space above the coal, where it is subjected to heat from the moderately heated flues, and thence through fresh coal in the chamber H, where tarry matter is deposited, and passes away by the pipe P. Steam or water gas may be admitted through the discharge hopper J, or liquid hydrocarbon may be admitted at R.
