Title: An Improved Drying Stove or Kiln.
Inventor: OSTERTAG PAUL
Filed: 1907-04-03
Granted: 1907-07-18
Abstract: 7784. Ostertag, P. April 3. Drying kilns.-In a rotary drying stove or kiln formed of superposed floors 1, 2,3, 4 the lower ones 3, 4 being used for cooling the material, a fixed radial partition wall 11, 12 is provided for each drying-chamber, and the coal or other material to be dried, and the furnace gases, are introduced separately into each chamber and travel in the same direction. The floors and the central hollow shaft 5 are supported on rollers 6 and are driven by a shaft 9 which engages with teeth 8. Fire-places 13, 14 supply furnace gases in front of the partition walls of the floors 1, 2, respectively, and the coal &c. is delivered to the floor 1 behind the partition wall by means of a conveyer 16. The walls do not quite reach the floor, and scrape level the material which passes under them. After one rotation of the floors, the material on floor 1 is conveyed outwards by a scraper 18, or by oblique blades, and passes through an opening 19 into a conveyer 17 by which it is delivered to floor 2. From this floor, an oblique scraper or the like directs the material through a recess on to the floor 3, where it is guided towards the centre by means of fixed arms 23 provided with obliquelyset blades. The material then passes through openings 24 to the floor 4 and is conveyed outwardly to the discharge shoot 25. Air enters the lower chambers through openings 26, and after passing through openings 27 into the shaft 5, escapes to the atmosphere. To prevent loss of heat, the upper chamber is closed by a floor 20, which may be covered with stones and is separated from the vault 21 by an air space.

The covering may be painted with oil paint.
Patent GB-190710252-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Reversing Devices for Internal Combustion Engines
Inventor: RUNDLOEF ERIK ANTON
Filed: 1907-05-02
Granted: 1907-09-05
Abstract: 10,252. Rundl÷f, E. A. May 3, 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Actuating pumps.- Two liquid-fuel feeding mechanisms are provided for an internal-combustion engine, one for normal running in either direction, and the other for effecting reversal. The two mechanisms are connected so that one is thrown out of action when the other is thrown in, and means are provided whereby the adjustments of these mechanisms in order to effect reversal, and after reversal to operate normally, are brought about automatically when a reversing-lever is thrown over. In the form shown, the liquid-fuel pump 1 has two pistons 2, 3, operated from an eccentric 13 on the crank-shaft or countershaft 14 by hit-and-miss inertia governing-devices 11, 12, the controlling- springs being represented at 20 and 21. During normal running, the piston 2 only is operated. To effect reversal, the hand-lever 32 is moved to the right, bringing the strap 27 into contact with friction disks 34 ; the rod 26 is thereby raised, and the piston 3 is then actuated instead of the piston 2. Fuel is then supplied during the in-stroke of the motor piston, and the engine is thereby reversed. On reversal, the rod 26 is lowered, so that the pump piston 2 is again operative. For the next reversal, the lever 32 must be thrown to the left, and so on. Various modifications may be made. The two mechanisms may operate the same pump piston ; they may be driven from different eccentrics or from cams or the like.
