Abstract: 3673. Timm, F. C. W. Feh 22, 1912, [Convention date]. Producers.-In a process for the gasification of fragmentary, fine-grained, or powdery fuels with intermittent working by means of air travelling in a downward direction, the gasification is stopped before a layer of carbon is reached, which is no longer sufficient for the reduction of carbon dioxide. This layer of carbon is arranged with a considerably smaller crosssection than that of the bulk of the fuel to be gasified. The hot gases given off towards the end of the gasification period serve for heating and kindling a freshly-charged generator, and the diminishing difference in pressure between the air supplied and the gas conducted away towards the close of gasification, operates a device for shutting off the air or gas conduit or both. The process may be carried out by introducing air and steam alternately, watergas as well as producer-gas being generated. The fuel may be mixed with water before charging. Suitable apparatus comprises a generator having a fuel space A, a grate B cooled by water entering by a pipe F and leaving by a pipe K and a cover C for the removal of dust separating from suspension in the gas. Wheels D, E run on rollers and enable the apparatus to be emptied by tipping. Air-inlet and gas outlet pipes lead to fixed connecting-pipes G, H respectively. Specification 3035/13 is referred to.

Abstract: 3270. Adams' Pressure Tool Co., F. E., and Adams, F. E. Feb. 7. Seaming; flanging.-Cans &c. fed in succession to seaming or flanging machines are engaged simultaneously at both ends by rotating chucks, and the operating-tools are advanced only if an article is present in the desired condition and position. The assembled can parts 29 are fed by a chain 17 to grippers 13 reciprocated by a cam 75 and link-work 14 and closed by a roller 35, Fig. 2, engaging a bar 40 oscillated by a cam 46 and link-work 45. The grippers place the can over a hole in a table 30, which rises and presents it to the chuck 6 at the same time as the chuck 5 rises through the table 30 to engage its lower end. A cam 11 operates the table 30 through a spring 51 and the chuck 5 against the action of a compression spring 8. The cam shaft 28 is rotated by a belt 26 and worm-wheel 56, Fig. 4, on which is pivoted a lever 60 normally engaging the pin 59 of the cam 58 which operates the seaming- rolls 78. If the chuck 5, when allowed to move up, occupies a normal position, owing to the presence of a normal can in its correct position, the lever 60 continues to engage the pin 59 and merely pushes the lever 70 out of the way, the part 71 thereof entering a notch in the bearing 12 of the chuck 5. If, however, the chuck occupies an abnormal position, the part 71 cannot enter the notch so that the lever 60 is forced to yield and disengage from the pin 59 and thus the seaming-rolls do not advance. The chuck 5 may be prevented from rising by the insertion of a bolt 85, Fig. 1, which acting through the projection 54 also prevents movement of the table 30.
