Patent GB-191001199-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Drying any Desired Substances.
Inventor: POTTIER AIME-JULIEN
IPC: F26B17/00
Filed: 1910-01-17
Granted: 1910-08-04
Abstract: 1199. Pottier, A.-J. Jan. 17. Materials descending by gravity.-In drying- shafts in which are mounted rotating drums and curved and perforated shelves, the shelves are curved in a particular manner, and special means are provided for effecting and limiting the movements of the shelves and for circulating the air. Within a brick chamber 3, or within an independent stationary or movable metal casing, are journaled rotary devices 1, which may each be partitioned and provided with a casing 19, Fig. 4. Below these devices the material is passed by a distributor 6 to a series of shelves 4 pivoted to, and having their greatest curvature near, the walls; it is finally passed outside the chamber. The free ends of the shelves in their upward movements lift pivoted strips 14, which are limited in their descent so as to leave a space for the descent of material between the strips and shelves. The shelves are, either singly.or in pairs, connected as shown in Fig. 2, moved by rollers 15 operated by cams 16 so as to be lifted and dropped alternately, the falls being rapid and limited by stops 17, whereby the material is shaken down. The sides of the shelves are connected to the walls by flexible strips preventing escape of air. The shelves may be perforated, but, if they are plain, the strips 14 are omitted to allow the passage of air. Fig. 5 shows a device in which the temperature may be regulated, as for drying malt, divided into a malt kiln proper A and a turning-chamber B. These are separated by a chamber C with perforated walls, containing a fan D whereby the air from the chamber A may be mixed with cold air introduced by a conduit E. The material passes from one compartment B to the other A by a passage H with a valve P.

Abstract: 17,250. Addressograph, Ltd., [Duncan, J. S.]. July 24. Addressing - machines; cylinder and like machines; tripping and like arrangements.-In an addressing-machine of the kind in which the envelopes are pressed on to the type plates by a travelling roller platen such as 29, carried in cam-operated arms such as 18 which depress the roller on to the envelope, and other camoperated levers such as 31 then draw the roller across the surface to be printed, the pressure of the roller 29 is adjusted hy shifting a frame 35 which carries the roller, and is mounted on the arms 18. Uniform pressure is maintained by rollers 33 engaging adjustable bearers 34. The plate-supporting bed 59 may be formed with ribs 72 tn engage the plates between the lines of characters, and is raised into operative position for each impression by cam-operated wedge devices 62. The address plates are passed one by one over the bed 59 by any suitable devices such as an intermittently-operated chain, and when in correct position laterally are lifted by the bed vertically into position, the ribs on the bed assisting to maintain the plate in flat condition. The bed 59 is on a frame 60 pivoted at 61, and the sliding wedge for raising it is operated through levers 65 and links, from the lever 18 which carries the roller 29, and is operated by a cam 20 on the main shaft 21.
