Abstract: 800,070. Granulating iron. STEWARTS & LLOYDS, Ltd. Dec. 7, 1955 [April 21, 1954], No. 11420/54. Class 82(2) Iron is granulated by directing a ribbon of molten iron through the atmosphere, subjecting the ribbon to water jets of successively increasing size in order to cool and break up the ribbon and cause solidification wholly or partly of the metal into particles, and collecting the particles in a water vessel in order to cause final solidification thereof. Molten iron from, e.g. a blast furnace tap hole or a hot metal ladle, flows down a sand lined conduit 1 and forms into a ribbon which is acted upon by the jets from water jet head 3 the upper jets of which are smaller than the lower jets. The resulting particles fall on to conveyer belt 7 through the open base of hopper 4, which is immersed in tank 5 of cold water, and are continuously carried away via another conveyer 10 to, e.g. a railway wagon or hopper. The size range of the particles can be increased or reduced by reducing or increasing the water jet velocities.

Title: Improvements in or relating to fluid operated percussive tools
IPC: B25D17/16
Filed: 1948-04-28
Abstract: 635,532. Percussive drills. CONSOLIDATED PNEUMATIC TOOL CO., Ltd., and NOBLE, A. April 28, 1948, No. 11659. [Class 124] [Also in Group XXIX] A percussive tool has connections and mechanisms for the admission of dust-laying liquid and motive fluid in succession and means for atomizing the liquid near its point of entry and for conveying it in the atomized condition to the point of discharge. As shown, a connection 5 for dust-laying liquid and a connection 6 for motive fluid are arranged in a head 2 of a body 1. A trigger 4 in the head operates on a valve stem 21 of a valve 20 to cause a groove 27 in the valve to register with a passage 7 from the liquid supply inlet and a passage 13 leading to a venturi tube 16, at the same time a groove 28 in the valve registers with a passage 18 also connected to the venturi tube and a secondary supply of motive fluid from a passage 9, thus producing a stream of atomized fluid which flows through a passage 31 in the body 1 to an annular chamber 32 and finally through nozzles 34 in the front end of the body.' Further depression of the valve 20 urges a thimble 40 by means of a rod 24 having a bore 25 into contact with a shoulder of a cap 37 and closes tubes 39 in the thimble. The hollow rod has a port 26 in communication with the liquid supply and on depression of the valve a port 24a communicating with the bore 25 allows the fluid to pass into a chamber between a fluid control valve 23 and the thimble 40, causing the valve 23 through which the rod passes to move against a spring 22 and bring the main fluid port 8 into register with a groove 35 in the valve and a passage 36 in the body 1 and start operation of the drill. In a modification a drill having a motive fluid valve 45 only, Fig. 2, has screwed into the base of a valve chamber 49 an adapter carrying a fluid inlet 54 and a venturi 66. On operation of the trigger 4 a stem 48 which passes through the valve 45 brings a port in a hollow valve 60 into register with an annulus 57 connected to the motive fluid supply and also a port 67 connected to the venturi 66 into register with an annulus 56 connected to a liquid supply. The liquid is atomized by the motive fluid and a stream of atomized liquid passes through an external tube 68 to a ring 71 having holes therein: Further depression of the stem 48 opens the fluid valve 45 and starts the drill.

Abstract: 1,005,322. Pipe couplings. STILE-CRAFT MANUFACTURERS Inc. March 20, 1964, No. 11817/64. Heading F2G. A coupling comprises a tubular body 11 having a socket 26 for reception of a plug 10, a sleeve 33 mounted on the body for movement between limits, and locking means operatively interconnecting the sleeve and body to retain the sleeve in one position when the plug is completely withdrawn, the plug engaging and actuating the locking means when inserted into the socket to release the sleeve for movement. As shown, the body is provided with a partition 25 on either side of which are ports 31, 32 so that fluid under pressure flows via the chamber 35 in the sleeve 33 to the plug 10 when the body and plug are coupled together with the sleeve in the position shown. Sealing rings 36, 37 provide fluid-tightness between the sleeve and body. The locking means comprises a pin 46 on a leaf spring 50 carried by the sleeve and a ball 55 mounted in the body, and coupling between the body and plug is effected by radially movable balls 30 engageable in an annular groove 16 of the plug. In operation, as the plug is inserted into the socket the land 18 of the plug contacts the ball 55 to depress the pin 46 against the action of the spring 50 to thereby release the sleeve. Rotation of the sleeve causes the pin 44 carried by the sleeve to move along the transverse portion 42 of a C-shaped groove in the body, recesses in the sleeve moving out of alignment with the balls 30 so that the sleeve cams the balls into the groove 16 of the plug. The sleeve is moved forwardly so that the pin 44 travels along the groove 41 and, upon rotation of the sleeve, into the transverse portion 43 thereof to prevent retraction of the sleeve until desired. In a modification, the pin 46 is mounted in a spring plate which urges the pin into the hole 54.
