Title: Improvements in and relating to Apparatus for Washing and Rinsing Bottles and the like.
Inventor: BLANC LOUIS
IPC: B08B9/34
Filed: 1913-01-20
Granted: 1913-08-28
Abstract: 1594. Blanc, L. Jan. 20, 1912, [Convention date]. Bottles and drinking-vessels, washing. - Apparatus for washing bottles, drinking-vessels, &c. in which the bottle &c. is inverted over a tube forming a supply-pipe for a mixture of sand and water raised from a surrounding vessel by an injector action, and in which the nozzle producing the injector effect continues to deliver clean water to the tube for rinsing purposes after the sand and water supply has been cut off, is designed with, a movable nozzle so that the operator, while pressing down on the bottle to keep the water-supply valve open, can ascertain the exact moment at which the injector action ceases and the rinsing operation commences. The apparatus comprises a vessel a, containing sand and water, and fitted with a water-supply pipe b inside the circular tube f, the lower end of which is provided with holes f<1> while its upper end is reduced in size and forms a seating for the valve i carried by the bottle-engaging tube h. The bottle neck rests upon the wings i' of the valve i, while the tube h rests on the upper end of the slidable nozzle d which also forms the cut-off valve for the watersupply. Under normal conditions, the restricted orifice of the nozzle throttles the egress of the water sufficiently for the pressure in the pipe to raise the nozzle to its highest position in which water-supply is cut off by the orifices d<2> being covered by the member c'. Pressure applied to the bottle by the hand of the operator first depresses the nozzle d to open the water-valve, and, on being continued, forces the valve i on to its seating and at the same time brings the base of the nozzle d into contact with the spring e. As soon as the upper end of the tube g is closed, the injector action commences and sand and water are drawn through the holes f<1>, h<1> and delivered to the bottle. When the downward pressure is released, the spring unseats the valve i and stops the injector action. The nozzle d then supplies pure water for rinsing purposes. At this stage the spring is no longer operative and the operator is made aware of the commencement of the rinsing operation by feeling the diminution in the upward pressure on the nozzle. The injector tube g may be rifled or grooved in any other manner to produce a rotary jet of fluid, or its upper end may be fitted with a fixed or rotary nozzle designed to deliver the fluid over the whole interior surface of the bottle. Three constructions of nozzles are shown for this purpose.

Abstract: 3147. Stettiner Chamotte Fabrik Akt.-Ges. vorm. Didier. Sept. 25, 1912, [Convention date]. Coke ovens.-In ovens heated by a mixture of coke - oven gas with a poorer gas such as blastfurnace gas, the former in a cold state is mixed with the latter, which has been heated in the usual manner, at a point close to the combustion flues, in order to reduce the liability of the richer gas to dissociation. As shown in connexion with an horizontal oven 1 heated by vertical flues 3 in the side walls, the rich cokeoven gas is supplied from a main 41 through connexions 40, 38 to gas conduits 26 opening into the lower ends of the flues 3. The blastfurnace gas from a main 14 passes through the gas-heating passages 10 of a recuperator 11 and is delivered to the conduits 26 from sole flues 6. Alternating with the flues 6 are flues 7 for the supply of air for combustion, and above both sets are flues 8 to which the waste gases are delivered by the downtakes 4. The flues 7, 8 are connected by passages 15,'18 to flues 16, 19 leading to a reversing valve and the regenerators 17, while at the opposite ends the flues 8 are also connected by passages 20 with the waste gas passages of the recuperator 11. Each burner comprises a conduit 30 leading from a flue 6, and a pipe 31, for delivering the poor and rich gas, respectively, to a gas mixing passage 26. The supply of poor gas is regulated by raising or lowering the coned end of the pipe 31 relatively to the similarly-shaped lower end 27 of the conduit 26 by means of the screwed sleeve 35. Valves 39, 37 are also provided for regulating the supplies of rich gas to the sets of burners for each heating wall, and to the individual burners. The air for combustion is delivered to the flues 4 through conduits 42 arranged in pairs one at each side of a gas conduit 26, and the supply is regulated by fireclay blocks manipulated from the tunnels 29. The supply of poor gas from the main 14 is regulated by a valve 13.

Abstract: 11,378. Junkers, H. May 15, 1912, [Convention date]. Two-stroke-cycle engines.-The norinal out-put is increased and controlled by always maintaining the charge before compression at a pressure substantially above atmospheric by means of throttling-devices in the exhaust. This pressure may be increased to meet an overload. The pressure of the scavenging-air and the backpressure of the exhaust may be constant and sufficiently high for the maximum overload, the fuel supply alone being varied to suit the load, or the back-pressure and consequently the pressure of the charge before compression may be varied in proportion to the quantity of fuel used. The invention may be carried out by providing a check valve 19, Fig. 2, on the exhaust receiver 13, loaded to the desired extent by a spring, a weight 21, or by hydraulic or pneumatic pressure, with or without a separate hand-controlled throttle valve 18. The pneumatic pressure by which the valve is loaded may be controlled by a governor so that if the speed of the engine falls, the load on the exhaust throttle is increased. In a. modification, the spring-loaded throttle can also be opened by hand, and the hand-oontrol can be put in or out of action by adjusting the fulcrum of the lever by which the valve is opened. In another modification, the load on the spring of the throttle valve is varied by a screw-and-nut device controlled from a governor or from the fuel-supply lever. Fig. 5 shows an arrangement for maintaining a constant back-pressure under varying conditions of working. The throttle valve 53 is worked by the screw-and-nut device 51 and a mechanical relay comprising a constantly rotating wheel 49 which drives one of the wheels 47, 48 according to the position of a friction disk 46 moved by a piston 43, which is subject to the pressure in the exhaust receiver 40. In a modification of this arrangement, the load on the spring 44 of the piston 43 can be varied by a screw-and-nut device worked by the fuel valve lever, so that the backpressure of the exhaust can be kept constant at any desired value. Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specification 21,717/07.
