Granted: 1912-10-24
Abstract: 14,985. Regondi, G. Jan. 27, 1912. Atmospheric vapour burners; vaporizing- apparatus.-Relates to vapour burners for use with incandescent mantles of the kind in which the oil is vaporized by passing through an up- and-down pipe heated by conduction from a bar projecting into the flame, and consists in providing an oil storage chamber of comparatively large capacity to act as a preheater from which the oil passes to a constricted passage located at the hottest part of the path of the vapour. Oil is fed under pressure through a passage 17 to the storage chamber 13, in the top of which is fixed a heat-conducting bar 23. The bottom of the bar 23 is either grooved, or reduced and threaded into a thimble 22, and bears against an obstructor 28. The constricted passage so formed communicates with a depending tube 26 provided with a needle valve 34 which is operated by a lever 37. The needle 33 passes through packing formed in a groove in a neckbush 31, which is closed by a gland 35 supported by a threaded cap 36. The upper ends of the tubes 13, 26 are surrounded by a conical hood 45 connected to a sleeve 46. An outer cylinder 47 is fixed to the sleeve 46 and rests on a ledge 41 on the uprights 42. The preheating pan 16 is mounted eccentrically on a sleeve 14 provided with an operating-arm 15 in order that it may be swung out from the casing for filling purposes.

The cranks 22, 24 on the driving-shaft 23 carry the sliding pieces 21, and are set at 180 degrees so that the moving masses are balanced. The inlet and exhaust valves are operated by cams on a shaft 26 driven by a chain 25 from the shaft 23. The chain 25 also drives pumps 29, 30 which circulate a cooling-liquid within the casing, apertures being provided in the casing to permit the circulation. A cooling-jacket may also be provided around the outer casing. Several elements comprising four cylinders may be arranged round the fixed shaft 7 and drive the shaft 23. In the revolving-cylinder engine shown in Fig. 3, the working chambers are each limited by two pistons 40, 42, the four pairs of pistons being connected to four arms 38, 39, 38<1>, 39<1>, each carrying sliding pieces 44 operating cranks 45 on shafts 46, 48 carrying pinions 47, 49, travelling round a central pinion 34 secured to the fixed shaft 33.

Abstract: 668. Jackson, W. J. Mellersh-, [Stewart, C. A.]. Jan. 9. Cuttling.-A machine for folding cloth reversely back and forth upon itself comprises a reciprocating carrier 2 running upon rails 5 mounted upon the sides of a table 1. Vertical standards 12, 13 are fitted to the table 1 and are slotted to contain rods which are inserted within each fold. The carrier is provided with arms 7, which carry a rod 11, and co-operate with projections 15 on the standards 12, 13 in such a manner that, when the carrier is moving from left to right, the rods 11 remain in the arms 7, but when moving from right to left the rods fall into the slots as shown. The method of operation is as follows: The end of the roll of cloth is passed between the carrier and the table, and thence over the rod 11 supported by the arms 7, and is secured in a slit 19 in the table 1. A rod 11 is then placed over the cloth in the standards 12. The carrier is then run from left to right, and a fold is made. On the return run, rods are disengaged from the arms 7 and fall into the slots in the standards 12, 13. As soon as a rod is disengaged from the arms 7, it is replaced by another by hand. The carrier thus runs back and forth and at each reversal a rod is engaged by the standards, thus holding the fold in position. The operator stands upon a platform 21 formed integral with the carrier 2. By operating pedals 32, 33, he can actuate clutches 40, 41 which engage respectively the upper and lower parts 28, 29. of an endless belt suitably driven. The clutch 40 causes the carrier to move from left to right and the clutch 41 effects a reverse motion.
