Inventor: DERRIMAN WALTER HOWLEY
IPC: F26B21/08
Filed: 1911-06-07
Granted: 1911-12-30
Abstract: 13,613. Derriman, W. H., [Siemens & Halske Akt.-Ges.]. June 7. Heating air.- In a continuous process for heating and drying air, the heat of the subsequently regenerated s u lphuric acid, used for drying, is employed for heating the air. The apparatus comprises a dryer a, a heat equalizer b, a sulphuric - acid regenerator c, and a preliminary heater d for acid to be regenerated. Air is dried in the dryer a by contact with sulphuric acid supplied at n, and passes through the chamber b, where it is heated by hot acid in the pipe i coming from the regenerator c. Thence the air passes to the trunk h. The weakened acid is pumped partly back to the dryer and partly to the regenerator, wherein it flows over heated plates, air supplied at q passing over it at the same time. This air escaping at r serves to heat the weakened acid preliminarily in the chamber d, and then passes also to the trunk h.
Patent GB-191114038-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Power Hammers.
Inventor: HONEYWOOD DAVID
IPC: B21J7/24
Filed: 1911-06-13
Granted: 1912-09-13
Abstract: 14,038. Honeywood, D., and Graham, W. June 13. Power hammers.-Relates to power hammers of the kind in which air or other fluid pressure is produced in a separate cylinder both for raising the hammer head and for effecting the blow, and consists in employing, in an extension of the hammer cylinder a, an auxiliary dummy piston b, b<1> for varying the strength of the blow independently of the thickness of the work operated on, the piston being adjusted to the desired position by the working fluid pressure and maintained in that position by the fluid pressure. As shown in Fig. 1 for working on a thin block so that a light blow only is necessary, the dummy piston b, b<1> is brought down to its lowest position by introducing pressure from the power cylinder e through the non-return valve u and the conduit q and through the adjustable valve n and the port p to the top of the small piston k, which is connected by the rod h to the dummy piston and works in the supplementary cylinder j. The pressure is introduced also, through the port r to the top part of the dummy piston, which is forced into its lowest position. When the power piston 7 is reciprocated, on its down-stroke compressed air is forced to the underside of the tup-piston c which is consequently raised; on its up-stroke, compressed air is forced through the port y, which is in communication with an annular flange d in the dummy piston, through the passages f and the valve g in the dummy piston to the top of the tup-piston, which is consequently forced down, the movement being augmented by the air admitted through the port x, which is uncovered by the tup-piston in its downward movement. A communication is effected also between the power cylinder and the top of the dummy piston through the port r, so that the piston is maintained in a balanced position by the air pressure. The main controlling valve w is suitably set for each of the movements of the tup-piston. The valve 3 in the port x is interconnected with the valve n so that the valve 3 is closed when the dummy piston is in the raised position. By suitably increasing the number of ports and corresponding controlling and actuating devices, the dummy piston may be held in any number of intermediate positions. Specification 14,037/11, which relates to the class of hammer in which vacuum and pressure are used for raising the hammer and effecting the blow respectively, is referred to.
