Patent GB-190930294-A (GB)
Title: Improvements relating to Regulating and Reversing Apparatus for Regenerative Gas Furnaces.
Inventor: KOPPER HEINRICH
IPC: F23L15/02
Filed: 1909-12-28
Granted: 1910-07-28
Abstract: 30,294. Kopper, H. Dec. 28. Liquid-seal valves. - Reversing-valves for regenerative furnaces comprise a chamber divided into compartments by suitable partitions, and means for altering the level of water in a number of the compartments so as to direct the gases in the desired manner. The chamber d is formed of hollow walls o, m, k, and is fitted with depending partitions h, i and a central partition g, reaching nearly to the bottom and top respectively. The chamber is further divided by a wall f having openings f<2> at the top in the spaces between the partitions h, i and the outer walls. Water is supplied from a main a through pipes b, c to the walls and partitions of the box d, and thence to cylinders r, s having pistons r<1>, s<1> with hollow rods operated by a rocking beam t. The lower portion of each cylinder is in communication with the upper portion of the other, and also with one diagonal pair of the chambers II, VII, III, VI. In the position shown of the pistons r<1>, s<1> water from the pipe p passes through the lower part of the cylinder r and the pipe u and the upper part of the cylinder s and escapes through the hollow rod of the piston s<1>. Similarly water from the pipe passes through the two pistons and escapes by the rod of the piston r'. The level of water in the sets of chambers III, IV, V, VI, and I, II, VII, VIII is thus determined by the positions of the outlets r<2>, s<2>. The gas supply enters through the opening wand passes to the furnaces through the chambers VII, VIII, IV and the flue y, while the products of combustion escape to the chimney through the flue x, chambers I, II, and the flue z. On reversing the valve, the flues x, y become respectively the gas inlet and the escape flue.

Stapling and discontinuous wire-stitching.- In a brush-making machine in which wire staples are formed and driven with each tuft into the brush-stock, the wire 20 for the staples is fed by a clamp on a lever (a check clamp being provided) over a finger 16, and is cut by a member 27 carried by a die-block 10 moving in vertical guides 11 secured to a table 1 directly below a slide in which the driving needle reciprocates. The descent of the dieblock simultaneously forms the staple which remains in grooves 28 when the finger is withdrawn. The needle, which is guided in the dieblock by ribs which engage grooves in the latter, then descends and inserts the tuft lying transversely under the staple, into the brush-stock. The needle and staple are further guided, first by the grooved ends of adjustable bars 63, 64 which engage the sides of the tufts, and then by grooves in a detachable guide block 68, secured to the table 1, which acts with the needle to bend the tuft. The stock is supported on a table beneath the lower end of this guide.

Abstract: 2075. Richards, W. E. W. Jan. 25. Utilizing waste rubber etc.; plastic compositions containing india-rubber and fibres. - Comprises an improvement upon the invention described in Specification 28,409 / 10. Old waste rubber or new vulcanized or unvulcanized rubber, or vulcanite &c., or a mixture of these materials in a finely-divided state, is raised under agitation to fusion-point (about 300‹ C. for waste rubber), and after partial cooling, sulphur is added. Moulding may be effected at this stage; or, if desired, the temperature may be again raised and the whole agitated until a granular form is produced which can then be moulded hot. In the case of waste rubber, asbestos or other filling-material such as pitches, waxes, resin, magnesium carbonates or oxides, or cotton waste may be incorporated with it after fusion; while with new rubber, the filling-material may be added at any stage. Further, new rubber may also be mixed with the waste rubber at any point of the process.

Abstract: 5043. Chantry, R. Feb. 29. Line floats.-A float is described by which a line can be conveyed to a distance from the operator and allowed to fall to the sea or river bottom at will. The float has a central cylindrical hole c through which the line passes. The line is looped round the bolt d which terminates at one end in an eye b and passes at the other end over a spring e. A string, held by the operator, and on which a number of corks are mounted, is attached to the eye b. In use, the float is allowed to drift under the action of wind, tide, &c. until it reaches a convenient position, whereupon the string is pulled, thus drawing the bolt d through the loop in the line and allowing this to fall to the bottom. A signal a is attached to a wire frame having at its base an eye through which the bolt d passes, so that the signal falls when the line is released. Fins f are provided to increase the stability of the float and to offer a suitable resistance when the bolt d is pulled.
