Filed: 1920-01-30
Abstract: 161,740. Dawkins, W. V. Jan. 30, 1920. Cakes; confectionery; coating bakers' and confectioners' goods.-A process for ornamenting cakes, confectionery or like goods consists in tracing the required design cn the surface of the cake, by hand or by means of a stencil or by a rubber or other stamp, with a transparent adhesive edible substance, such as gum arabic or gelatine, and sprinkling it, while still wet, with finely granulated sugar, which may be coloured as required. A plurality of stencils or other mean= may be employed to produce designs in different areas of the surface to be ornamented, and the whole surface may be lightly sprinkled with white granulated sugar, after the coloured sugars have been applied. The whole surface may be coated with the transparent material which, when dry, is ornamented as above. One design may be superimposed on another to produce a relief effect.

Abstract: 750,114. Periodically-applied brakes. SCHWABE, Inc., H. Feb. 2,1954, No. 3020/54. Class 103 (1). [Also in Group XXIV] In a clicking press in which a lever 28 is rocked by an eccentric strap 13 to tighten a brake band 26 around a drum 20 on the press shaft 11 to stop the press after one revolution of the shaft means is provided to move the fulcrum 30 of the lever 28 to release the brake upon actuation of the clutch actuating member. The fulcrum 30, guided in slots in a fixed bracket 32, is carried on a link 33 pivoted at 34 to a link 35 on a fixed pivot 36. The links 33, 35 form a toggle which is retained normally straight by a spring 38 and an abutment 37 on the link 33. Upon actuation of the press starting handle a rod 25 moves upwardly and moves a cam 21 clear of a clutch bolt 19. The latter, under spring action, expands a clutch ring 17 to clutch the driving pulley 16 to the drum 20. At the same time the rod 25 moves a rod 39 connected to the link 33 to break the toggle and disengage the brake. Specification 22023/05; [Class 31], is referred to.

[Also in Division F2] In a swash-plate engine pump, or compressor, the pistons are connected to a wobbler plate 12, supported by a pair of swash-plates 24, 25 secured to a rotor 11, by ball and socket connectors 43, 42, which accommodate transverse sliding movement between the wobbler and piston, the sockets having a radius of curvature greater than their depth. The wobbler plate 12 has rectangular section spokes 29, Fig. 5, which engage the pistons through the ball and socket joints 43, 42, the balls 43 being free to slide on the spokes 29, 43. The eight cylinder opposed piston engine shown has an engine block formed of eight segments 51-58 held together, with packing means 47 therebetween, by clamping rings 61 hinged at 62 and clamped together by bolts 63. Each segment 51-58 carries a cylinder 35a and can be withdrawn, complete with its pistons which slide off the spokes of the wobbler plate. The swash-plates 24, 25 are prevented from wobbling by a gear wheel 31 meshing with a gear wheel 74 which rotates with the rotor 11 and has an eccentric gear 76 which rolls around a stationary internal gear 78. The engine block is mounted on rollers 69 so that it can be rotated for servicing, set screws 71 being tightened to hold it stationary. In a modification, Fig. 6, the balls 83 are secured to the spokes 29 and engage sockets in blocks 90 which are free to slide laterally in the pistons.

Patent GB-1457595-A (GB)
Title: Operating glass melting furnaces
IPC: C03B5/235
Filed: 1974-01-25
Abstract: 1457595 Operating a glass melting furnace LEONE INDUSTRIES Inc 25 Jan 1974 [26 Jan 1973] 03541/74 Heading F4B A glass melting furnace has pairs of adjustably mounted burners 32L, 34L and 32R, 34R for melting material fed into the furnace through a dog house 28. The burners, e.g. which burn oil or natural gas, are positioned over air ports 37, 39. Operation of the furnace comprises measuring the amounts of excess air and carbon monoxide in the flue gases from the furnace and adjusting the directions in which fuel jets are emitted from the burners with respect to air flowing through the ports. The adjusting is such as to increase the mixing of the fuel from the burners with the air flowing through the air ports so as to reduce the amount of excess air in the flue gas to a minimum value with the level of carbon monoxide in the flue gases being not greater than 50 parts per million. A detailed mechanical arrangement for adjusting the directions of the burners is illustrated in Figs. 3 to 7 (not shown) where adjustment is made by manually turning knobs (180A-180E, Figs. 3- 5). The air used may be enriched with oxygen. Details of a burner with oxygen supplied thereto are illustrated in Fig. 8 (not shown). At one end of the furnace there is a bridge wall 18 having a port or throat 20 through which the glass flows to a refining zone 22 and thereafter is discharged through orifices 46a-46d in forehearths 48a- 48d. Hot gases enter the refining zone through ports 24. There are regenerators 40, 42 that serve alternately (i) to capture a portion of the heat energy released in the glass tank and (ii) to preheat air before it proceeds to the burners. Each pair of burners operates alternately, e.g. every 15 minutes. Burners 32R and 34R use air which has passed through regenerator 42. Hot gases from the burners circulate counter clockwise around the furnace and thence through regenerator 40 to heat it. Thereafter burners 32L and 32R operate using air which has passed through and been heated by the hot regenerator 40. Blowers are employed. Specified adjustments to the burners are (1) to adjust the vertical angle of the burners as indicated by arrow 52, Fig. 2, so as to make the angle of the flame and furnace content as steep as possible without unduly increasing the seed count of the glass; (2) to adjust the horizontal angle of the burners to direct them closer to the side walls without unduly increasing the side wall temperature; (3) to adjust the angles a, Fig. 1, between the burners until the fuel jets intersect at the surface of the glass; and thereafter (4) to further change the angle α to minimize the amount of excess air in the flue gas while maintaining the level of carbon monoxide below 50 parts per million. The arrangement illustrated in Figs. 3-7 also allows horizontal linear movement of the burners.

Abstract: 815,403. Reservoir pens. WAGNER VEBWALTUNGSGESELLSCHAFT, G. Feb. 1, 1957 [Feb. 7, 1956], No. 3547/57. Class 146(3) A reservoir pen comprises an exchangeable ink cartridge 4 formed with a neck 6, the cartridge being inserted into the pen barrel 3 for connection with an ink-feed tube 9 which projects through the front end wall 10 of the cartridge into the interior of the cartridge to form a reserve ink space 11. The neck 6 of the cartridge screws into a recessed plug 2. When it is required to use ink from the reserve space 11, the barrel 3 is unscrewed from the plug 2 and the cartridge 4 is then unscrewed until the rear end face of the tube 9 coincides with the wall 10. This position is indicated when a spring tongue 12 encounters a shoulder 13 on the cartridge. In a modification, (Fig. 2, not shown), the tube has a transverse port which communicates with a recess in the neck of the cartridge and the reserve ink space upon slight rotation of the cartridge. Normally, i.e., when it is not required to draw ink from the reserve ink space, the port is closed by the surrounding wall of the neck. In a further modification, (Fig. 3, not shown), the neck of the cartridge is pushed into the plug and is simply rotated relatively to the plug to place a port in the tube and recess in the neck in communication.

Reservoirs, attaching to lanterns.- Petrol or similar lamps are rotatably mounted in vehicular or other portable lanterns, and the wickadjuster is held fixed within the lantern so that the flame can be regulated by imparting a rotary movement to the lamp without opening the lantern. In one form, the lamp 3 is fixed in position by means of parallel resilient wire arms 4 hingedly connected to the lantern and provided at their free ends with a pivoted hook 6 for engaging a staple or lug 9 on the lantern body, coils 4<b> on the arms bearing against a flange member on the wick-adjuster with sufficient pressure that, when the lamp is turned, the member is prevented from moving and the wick is adjusted. The burner has a hood at its upper part. A separate arrangement from that for securing the lamp may be employed for preventing rotation of the wick-adjuster.
