Patent GB-191114624-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Fuel Briquetting Plants and the like.
Inventor: RIGBY THOMAS
IPC: C10F7/06
Filed: 1911-06-20
Granted: 1912-09-20
Abstract: 14,624. Rigby, T., and Testrup, N. June 20. Fuel; peat, preparing. -Dry powdered lignite, peat or like very inflammable fuel is conveyed from drying apparatus to a briquette press or other locality in an atmosphere of very moist air or flue gases, which prevents combustion and obviates dangerous dust in a factory. Preferably the fuel is carried by a rapid gaseous current which, if necessary, may superheat it before compression. Drying may also take place in such an atmosphere. Peat so conveyed may contain only 2-3 per cent of moisture, but some fuels may contain up to 15 per cent. The moist atmosphere for peat may be such as would be saturated at 95‹ C. Fig. 1 shows Schultze rotary driers a fed by shoots c from a floor above and discharging the fuel into a conduit o along which it is carried by a current of the protective gas to a cyclone separator w, whence the fuel passes to a receiver v, in which it may be superheated, above a press 2, the vapours being exhausted through a dust-separator z and preferably supplied to an ammonia - recovery gas - producer. The Schultze driers a, provided with loaded safety outlets f and mica observation-windows, may have restricted or adjustable air inlets to ensure a moist atmosphere. They discharge into a transverse conduit containing a conveyer, whence, after separation of stony matter, the fuel is blown along the conduit o by a current of moist air from a fan, or in a modification, is delivered into a flue from which the fan draws both fuel and gases. When moist air is used, the conduit o has a jacket supplied with steam at 2¢ atmospheres, and the receiver v is also jacketed and may superheat the fuel. These jackets may be omitted when using flue gases, to which the steam from the driers may be added. The reservoir may also be omitted. Lignite may be cooled to 30-40‹ C. before being pressed. In other modifications (1) flue gases are passed through the driers, and moist air may also be supplied to the fan m, especially when treating lignite; or (2) the fuel and gas are sucked along the conduit, by a fan at the gas-outlet; or (3) the vapours are separated from the fuel leaving the driers, and after being compressed are supplied to the conduit. According to the Provisional Specification (1) The fuel may be peat wet-carbonized in the manner described in Specification 6041/10, and pressed to remove water; it may contain 10-15 per cent of moisture on leaving the Schultze driers, and may be conveyed to a separator by gases from the wet-carbonizing ovens, which effect final drying and superheating, (2) steam may be generated in the driers under a sufficient pressure to convey the fuel without an exhausting- means.

Granted: 1913-02-13
Abstract: 6347. Martin, W. T., and Hind, W. March 14. Winding - machines. -Relates to machines in which the spools are held in contact with driving - drums or in which pulleys at the ends of the spool axles are held in contact with driving-pulleys, and in which the spools are disposed in pairs at the front or at the front and back of each driving-drum or pulley. In the arrangement in which a drum B is used, Fig. 1, the spools A, A<1> are carried in bearings in the ends of levers D, E, shaped as shown in Fig. 2 and mounted on a shaft F below the spools so that either spool may be moved into or out of contact with the drum. The spools are held in contact with the drum by means of springs or weights attached to the levers D, E, and springs or catches may be provided to hold the weighted members in the raised position; the slots for the spool axles are shaped to prevent the axles from being lifted out by the action of the driving-drum. In the arrangement in which the driving-pulley B, Fig. 5, is used, the bearings for the axles of the upper spools are formed in arms N fixed to the shaft 0 fixed in the frame, and those of the lower spools are formed in brackets P fixed to the frame. The slots for the spool axles are formed so that the weight of the spool tends to maintain the pulleys C' in contact with the driving- pulley B. The thread for the lower spools is supplied from swifts R below them as is usual while that for the upper spools is supplied from swifts R<1> above them, both sets of swifts being arranged in pivoted arms as described in Specification 2702/06.

Abstract: 10,656. Leitner, H. May 6. Turning-gear.-The starting-switch lever a used to close the circuit of an electric motor B which turns the engine is locked against movement by a bar i bearing on the lever e which in turn bears on the notched cam d, until the spark control lever is moved to the spark-retarding position, whereupon a connexion from the spark-control lever withdraws the locking-bar When the lever a is moved, the cam d acts on the lever f, which through the spring m and Bowden mechanism n moves a lever p and locks the spark-control lever in its retarded position. The lever a also moves the wheels l l<1> axially to bring them into gear with the wheels l<2>, l<3> and the wheel o<1> on the engine shaft, so as to connect the motor and engine. The spring m allows the motor circuit to be dosed before the wheels move into gear, should the teath not mesh immediately. The lever a may simultaneously throw the ignition over from a magneto to a battery and coil. Rigid mechanism may replace the Bowden mechanism.

Inventor: SANTA LUIGI
IPC: C01B17/82

Granted: 1914-04-02
Abstract: 18,615. Santa, L. Aug. 15. Mixing liquids in definite proportions. - In apparatus for regnlating the density of sulphuric acid and other liquids, the supply of diluting-medium is controlled by clock - work mechanism A which is released by the movements of a lever l produced by the variations in density in the liquid supplied to a cup b carried by the lever. To effect this, the clockwork A energizes wheels r<2>, r<3> rotating in opposite directions and carrying oppositely-disposed notches. One or other of these notches is engaged by catches in levers d<1>, d<2>, thus arresting the mechanism. If the lever l is then rocked owing to a change in density of the liquid, a pin m carried by the lever l lifts the engaging lever d<1>, and releases the clock-work. The wheels r<2>, r<3> rotate until the notch on the wheel r comes beneath the catch on the now disengaged lever d<2>, and the mechanism is stopped. In the meantime, however, a cam c carried by the wheel r<2> has actuated a valve controlling the supply of the diluting - medium. Passage of diluting - medium is indicated by balls n in glass vessels t.
