Title: Improvements in or relating to the Depericarping of Kernel and other Fruits for the Production of Vegetable Oils applicable also to other purposes.
Inventor: SWANSON ROBERT GAIR
IPC: A23N5/08
Filed: 1912-11-20
Granted: 1913-10-16
Abstract: 26,642. Swanson, R. G. Nov. 20. Hulling and decorticating.-The pericarp is removed from palm-nuts, olives, and other kernel fruit for the extraction of oil, by treatment in a rotary stripping-cylinder h. The fruit is agitated in a jacketed cooking-pan a and ejected by a conveyer e through a hopper g to feed-blades j. The rotary cylinder h is formed of knives n, Fig. 3, of triangular section bedded in recesses in the curved bars p, which, with angle-irons o, form the framework of the cylinder, and the knives can be taken out and turned into a different position to bring into operation another cutting-edge. The hollow shaft j<1> supplies steam to the cylinder and carries blades j<5> which, rotating in the opposite direction to the cylinder, force the fruit along the knives, the oil escaping into a jacketed conveyer r, and the kernels being discharged at the end.

Abstract: 6662. Vulcan Werke Hamburg und Stettin Akt.-Ges. Feb. 24, [Convention date]. Plant.-In a plant comprising a number of series-connected motors arranged on separate shafts and driving through hydraulic gear, speed governors are operated by the low-pressure motors so that, on a sudden decrease in the resistance of a particular hydraulic gear, the admission to the high-pressure motor is throttled and if desired the low-pressure motor corresponding to the damaged hydraulic gear is cut out, the motive fluid being by-passed either to a succeeding motor or direct to the condenser. In a two-shaft installation, Fig. 1, a highpressure turbine 1 and low-pressure turbine 2 discharging into a condenser 3 drive their propeller shafts through hydraulic gear 4, 5, and a speed governor 8 is adapted on a sudden fall in the resistance of the gear 5 to close the admission valve 7 of the turbine 1. In a modification, Fig. 2, the governor 8 also operates a valve 9 so as to divert the exhaust from the turbine 1 partly or wholly into the condenser 3. Modifications with three and four propeller shafts are described. Fig. 6 shows an installation comprising two reciprocating steamengines 1 on outer shafts exhausting into a turbine 2 on the middle shaft, the governor 8 operating as described above.

Granted: 1915-06-17
Abstract: 22,837. Giulini, Geb. Dec. 6, 1912, [Convention date]. Nitrides ; cyanides.-In the production of nitrides, such as aluminium nitride, by the reaction of nitrogen with a mixture of carbon and, for' instance, alumina, together with an assisting-substance such as an oxide, hydroxide, or salt of a basic metal, the reaction is conducted in vessels, tubes, or the like formed of or lined with carbon at a temperature at which the charge does not melt. Such a lining of carbon may be produced by heating coal to incandescence in a vessel of refractory material with exclusion of air; or a separate inner carbon tube may be employed, fitting inside the outer tube. A large proportion of assisting- substance may be used. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) states also that the process is applicable to the production of cyanides and the like; this subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Granted: 1914-12-04
Abstract: 25,171. Snyder, F. T. Nov. 4. Electrode furnaces; resistance furnaces.-A heater having a negative temperature coefficient, such as an arc or a carbon rod, is used in a furnace having an outer casing of laminated iron or steel acting as a reactance. The parts are so proportioned that the energy developed in the heater by alternating current from a constant-pressure source diminishes as the current increases, the reactance absorbing a considerable part of the pressure. A stable condition is thus reached at a practicable temperature. In the furnace shown, the upper electrode 4 is adjustable over molten metal forming the lower electrode in a refractory container with a casing 2, 3 of thin steel plates, which serve as heatinsulation as well as reactance. An adjustable reactance 9 may be included in the circuit. The furnace may be started with a long arc and small current, and afterwards run with a short arc and high current, the upper electrode then serving also to shield the roof.

When the machine is to be moved, the frame is raised by a lever 12 so as to be entirely supported by two cart-wheels 10, being maintained in the raised position by a pin 34 adapted to engage under a hook 33. When in operation, the machine is supported on one rail by the electro-magnets, and on the other rail by a roller 8 resting in the groove of the rail, and the grinding-wheel is reciprocated along the surface of the rail by means of a threaded sleeve, adapted to be rotated by the motor through bevel-gear and engaging a screw carried by the frame, the direction of rotation being reversed at the end of each traverse of the grinding-wheel by means of an arm engaging the frame and actuating a clutch in connexion with the bevel-gears. The grinding-wheel is driven from the motor by a belt 21 driving a pulley 20, and a belt 22 driving the grinder shaft 19. This shaft is supported in a stirrup 23 adapted to be adjusted by means of a screwed spindle 24 moved by a hand-wheel 25. The electro-magnets have rollers 32, which may be moved by levers 32<1> into contact with the rail being ground. An adjustable support 27 is provided to receive a tool for trimming the grinding-wheel.

Abstract: 583. Bartlog, C. A. Jan. 8. Turning-gear.-A handle 20 is fixed on a block 19 mounted on a starting-shaft 14 normally disengaged from the engine shaft 15. The block carries in a recess a spring-pressed' pawl 23, which coacts with a lug on the starting-shaft. To turn the engine shaft, the handle is pushed inwards, the side of the recess in the block bearing on the lug on the shaft 14 and thereby moving it axially. The handle then turns the shaft through the pawl 23. A pin 35 is fixed in a ratchet-wheel 9 and passes through a hole in the block 19. The ratchet-wheel normally wipes under detents 10 carried by a fixed case 6, through which the shaft 14 passes. The shaft 14 carries on its end a facecam 37. On a premature ignition, the ratchetwheel holds the pin and therefore the block 19 stationary, the lug on the starting-shaft depresses and slips past the pawl 23; and the cam 37 wipes over the end of the pin 35 and disconnects the starting from the engine shaft. The starting- shaft is normally prevented from rotating by a pin 16 on the shaft engaging either recesses in the case 6 or on a stop on the case. The cam 37 is adjustable around the shaft 14.
