Abstract: 1409. Seymour, H. W. July 21. Coke ovens. -Regenerative ovens working with reversal of the air and gas supplies are constructed with two sole flues 6, 7, connected at alternate ends with the regenerator tunnels 3, 4 and at the other ends with the horizontal heating - flues 2. With one arrangement of dampers, air passes through the regenerator 3, rising passage 8, and sole flue 6, into a passage 9 located between the two series of heating-flues. The air then passes by a series of branch passages into chambers 14, each of which communicates laterally with two horizontal flues 2. Gas is supplied to the ends of these flues, and the products of combustion pass along the flues into chambers 13 at the opposite end of the oven, and then through branch passages 12, a passage 11, and sole flue 7, to the regenerator 4. Dampers are provided in the regenerator tunnels, and auxiliary dampers may be employed to choke the supply of hot air while leaving the entrances for the exhaust products quite open. Each horizontal flue is provided with a regulating-damper.

Granted: 1909-05-26
Abstract: 11,442. Boult, A. J., [Bates, A. H.]. May 26. Type-bar making machines.-Relates to matrices having characters on opposite sides and to mechanism for assembling them. The characters a may be on either the side or the end edges of the matrices as shown in Figs. 8 and 9. The matrices are contained in channels in a vertical magazine B, Fig. 2, from which they are pushed out by ejectors C having oppositely-disposed teeth on their upper and lower edges. The ejectors can be raised by rods E<2>, operated by keys E, into engagement with a constantly-rotating toothed roller D, by which they are advanced and caused to push out the 'lowest matrices. When the rods E<2> fall, the ejectors descend into engagement with a second toothed roller D' by which they are retracted. The ejected matrices fall into a race-plate J having-converging guides by which they are delivered in front of a star-wheel K. Before entering the channels of the race-plate, the matrices are turned from a horizontal to a vertical position by a frame comprising two bars P<1>, P<2>, either of which may be caused to lie in the path of the descending matrices. Each matrix is thus supported at one end by one of the bars P', P<2>, and swings downwards at the other, so that either character on the matrix is presented to the mould according as one or the other of the bars P', P<2> is in operative position. The frame connecting the bars P<1>, P<2> is moved into either position by means of a hand-lever. According to the Provisional Specification, the characters on the matrices may be in relief, operating as punches.
