Abstract: 24,044. Henderson, J., and Russell, A. W. Oct. 20. Delivery apparatus.-An adjustable platform or table for receiving sheets delivered from papercutting and like machines is so constructed that the sheets may be received directly on the table, or the table may be lowered so as to receive a truck into which the sheets are delivered. A table A, Fig. 2, is secured by bolts to four brackets C, D, which slide on supports E, F on a frame B set in a recess in the floor. The brackets are adjustable by means of wire ropes G attached to them and wound over pulleys H, J and operated by a shaft K controlled by hand-operated worm-gearing. The brackets C, D may be adjusted by screw-and-nut mechanism. The delivered sheets may be received by trucks, which are wheeled on to the table A when in its lowered position, or direct on the table A, in which case the table is lowered as the sheets accumulate. Guide - plates R direct the sheets to a correct position.

Abstract: 25,801. Schweiz Fl³ssiggas-Fabrik L. Wolf Akt.-Ges. Nov. 19, 1910, [Convention date]. Void. [Published under Section 91 of the Act.] Vaporizing-apparatus ; oil - supply fittings; burners, controlling.- A ' liquefied oil vapour,' such as ' liquid-gas,' is used for initially heating up a vapour burner and for forcing the liquid fuel to the burner, the same burner being used for both vapours which are of about the same density. Fig. 1 shows the arrangement applied to the base 1 of a street lamp. When the cock 12 is turned on, vapour from the ' liquid-gas ' in the vessel 4 passes by the valve-controlled pipe 3, reducing-valve 8 and pipe 10 to an igniting-jet. The lamp is started by opening the cock 13, whereupon the vapour passes by the pipe 9 and spring-pressed ball or other valve 16, Fig. 3, to the burner 15. After this is sufficiently heated the cock 14 is turned on and the petroleum is expelled from the tank 2 through the pipes 5, 7, thereby lifting the other valve 16 and closing the one first opened, and burns at the nozzle 15 without interrupting the flame. When the petroleum is all consumed, the vapour of the ' liquid-gas ' then passes to the burner by the pipes 5, 7.
