The cold fluid enters by the inlet g and leaves by the outlet h after traversing the central passage 2. The plates b are provided with extension pieces e to fit within the sleeves f. In a modified form of apparatus, the bands separating the plates are at the edges of the plates, and the cold fluid passes through the odd compartments while the hot fluid passes through the even compartments.

Abstract: 18,617. Muster, A. Aug. 25. Moulding paving slabs and blocks.-Fig. 1 shows a diagrammatic plan view of a hydraulic pressing- machine for moulding concrete slabs or blocks. A rotary mould table a is mounted on a shaft b over a fixed table, and is rotated intermittently by an endless belt k and a pawl engaging with a ratchetwheel l, or worm or other gearing. An upper pressing-plunger e works in a cylinder d, which is first supplied with water at low pressure by a large pump h<1> until the press-head comes into action, and afterwards with high-pressure water by a small pump h<2>, worked from the same crosshead as the large pump. The delivery pipes i from the pumps are united to a common supply pipe i<1>, and are fitted with loaded escape valves g,j and pipes g<1>, j<1>, and a non-return valve g'. After the pressing action is over, the whole system is relieved of pressure by opening a valve i' by hand, and the ram is raised by a counterweight o connected to the ram by chains passing over pulleys o'. By this system, water is supplied directly from the pumping-engine tothe ram without the use of an accumulator or intensifier. The slabs are ejected from the moulds by mechanical, or mechanical and manual, means.

Abstract: 21,273. Nesbit, D. M., and Clowes, W. Sept. 30. Feedwater, heating. -The water and steam, escaping from the steam traps b of a steam heating-system or the like, are collected and used as feedwater for steam generators. The steam trap discharge pipes a lead to a main collecting pipe c connected to the inlet of a condenser d<1>, preferably a combined feedwater heater and condensing apparatus of the kind described in Specification No. 21,020, A.D. 1897. The water in the collecting pipe c passes by a bye-pass e, through a straining box f, to the lower collecting or settling chamber of the condensing apparatus. The steam passes through a number of # or other tubes, surrounded by the water to be heated, and thence passes to a condensing spray of water in a chamber connected to the collecting-chamber. The spray is fed preferably with water from the jacket surrounding the cooling and condensing pipes. When the water level has risen sufficiently, a float valve, controlling the passage to the feed pumps, is opened, while the supply to the sprayer is cut off by another float valve. A vapour pipe r open to the atmosphere may have an inlet s for boiler fluid. An overflow pipe leads from the collecting pipe c to a drain. The apparatus is preferably used in duplicate.

Abstract: 25,011. Kamm, L. Nov. 14. Acetylene lamps.-In small lamps for use with projecting-lanterns, the water supply from the chamber c is controlled by a screw valve e provided with a pointer h<1> moving over a scale h<2>, and the water passes through a perforated tube n so as to attack from below the calcium carbide in the chamber d. The gas generated traverses a pipe p, an india-rubber bag r containing water, an indiarubber tube t and an arm w and a chamber v to the jets u of the multiple burner, a tight joint between the jets and their sockets being obtained by india-rubber packing y. The chamber v serves to equalize the pressure and to intercept any water carried over with the gas, the arm w terminates in a socket w<1> which is secured upon the rod w<2> by a screw w<3>, and the spent carbide can be removed from the chamber d by releasing the screws k by which the cylinder a is attached to the base i, inverting the cylinder a, and withdrawing the tube n and its attached disc o. The generator is mounted upon forks z which are adjusted by screws and slots z<2>, z<3> to adapt them to the width between the guides of the lantern, but the Provisional Specification states that a spring fork may be used.

Title: Improvements in Machines for Molding Hollow Concrete Building Blocks.
Inventor: PALMER HARMON SYLVANUS
Filed: 1903-03-02
Granted: 1904-02-25
Abstract: 4812. Palmer, H. S. March 2. Moulding concrete building - blocks.-A mould for making hollow concrete building-blocks is formed with pivoted sides 25, 26, and ends 28, 29, Fig. 8, and is fitted with cores capable of being raised and lowered and adjusted longitudinally. E a c h pivoted end plate has lugs 32, Fig. 4, carrying bolts 33, which pass through slotted inclined lugs 34 on the side plates so as to enable the side and end plates to be secured together by means ot nuts 35 with handles 36. The lower ends of the cores are fitted in a longitudinal dovetail slot 50, Fig. 1, in the top of a horizontal bar 40, and are secured in position by set-screws. The bar 40 is connected to another bar 38 by vertical rack-bars 41, and the cores are raised and lowered by means of pinions 43 engaging with these rack-bars and mounted on a shaft 44 connected by spur gearing with a handdriven shaft 45, the bars 38, 40 being guided by slots in end standards 20. For ordinary blocks, two rectangular cores 60, Fig. 8, and one intermediate core 61, are employed, the intermediate core 61 having a transverse slot for the reception of a division plate when manufacturing half-blocks. One of the rectangular cores consists of three portions 67, 68, 69 mounted on a base-plate, a bottom plate and a filling-block, being placed over the portion 69 so as to make the core solid. When making blocks other than half-size and full-size blocks, the bottom plate and filling-block are removed, a division plate 71, Fig. 8, is fitted in a transverse slot in the portion 69 of the core, and the core is adjusted longitudinally. When making blocks with one end angular, a piece 75 secured to the portion 68 of the core is detached, and an angular plate is placed in the mould with one side parallel to the angular portion of the core. A non- corrodible bottom plate 92, Fig. 1, fitting over the cores is inserted in the mould, and rests on adjustable screws 93 so that blocks of different thicknesses may be made. When making corner blocks, plates 80, 86, Fig. 4, are substituted for one of the end plates and one of the side plates, and are supported by suitable lugs, the removed end plate 29 being pivoted in the position shown between a hinged part 87 of the plate 80 and the plate 86. A core 90 is bolted to an arm 53, Fig. 1, of the core carrier. Other blocks may be formed by inserting plates in the mould or attaching plates or blocks to the cores. Concrete is charged into the mould through a hopper 97. When a block is completed, the cores are lowered, and the side and end plates are swung into the horizontal position to allow of its removal. The lugs to which the end and side plates are pivoted may be adjustably secured to the bed-plate of the mould by screws passing through slots in the lugs.
