Title: Continuous stabilization system relating to endless conveyors
IPC: B65G17/16
Filed: 1966-04-29
Abstract: 1,100,525. Endless conveyers. G. B. LEWIS CO. 29 April, 1966 [30 April, 1965], No. 19062/66. Heading B8A. An arrangement for stabilizing the attitude of carrier units 168, 174, 175, 179, 176, 177, pivotally attached between endless chains 169 of an endless conveyer comprises a toothed sprocket 162 non-rotatably secured to each end of each unit. The sprockets each engage a stabilizing endless chain 160 which moves at the same speed as the conveyer chains 169 over the linear runs, but which moves at a faster speed than the chains 169 in the arcuate portions. The sprockets 162 and carrier units are therefore rotated relative to the conveyer chains in the arcuate sections to maintain the attitude of the units constant. The stabilizing chains 160 co-extend with the conveyer chains 169 and pass around end sprockets coaxial with but of smaller diameter than the end sprockets of the conveyer. Each of the stabilizer chains 160 comprises two chains secured together such that one passes around the end sprockets and one engages the sprockets 162 on the carrier units. In the embodiment of Fig. 4, the conveyer chain sprockets are motor-driven through a chain 132 and the carrier unit sprockets 162 drive the stabilizing chains 160 along the linear sections thereof. Rollers 180, 180a on the carriers engage fixed tracks 182, 182a along these linear runs to prevent the carriers turning due to engagement with the stabilizer chains. In the embodiment of Fig. 2 (not shown), a separate motor drive is applied to the stabilizer chains.

Title: Improvements in or relating to pirn winding machines
IPC: B65H54/14
Filed: 1956-06-20
Abstract: 805,626. Winding yarns; traversing mechanism. SCHARER, K. J., [trading as MASCHINENFABRIK SCHARER]. June 20,1956 [June 22, 1955], No. 19077/56. Class 120(2) A pin winding machine for forming successive conical layers of yarn comprises a reciprocating guide rod having a plurality of grooves for the yarn side by side along it, a traverse shifting slide adapted to transfer the yarn from one groove to an adjacent groove on movement of the slider means for moving the slide independent of the rotation of the pirn and means for controlling that movement in accordance with the diameter of the pirn. Yarn is laid on a pirn 7 rotating with a driven spindle 1, by a rod 11 having grooves 12 which is traversed by rods connected to a follower 24 in a groove 23 of a drum 22 driven by gearing 20, 19, 18, 17 from a belt drive 3 which also drives the spindle 1. The yarn F, Fig. 2, passes through a slot 40 in a slide 27, movable on rails 25, 26 to which is pivoted a lever 28 carrying at one end a feeler 30 pressed by the action of a spring 31 against the pirn 7, and at the other end a set screw 33 whose end 34 is shaped to engage the serrations of a rack 35, inclined at one end to form the conical base 44 of the pirn. When the diameter of the pirn 7 is sufficient to pivot the lever 28 to remove the screw 33 from engagement with the rack 35, a counterweight 36 pulls the slide 27 until the reduction in diameter causes the screw to re-engage the rack. At the same time, the yarn F passes over an edge of the slide 27 inclined to the pirn axis and is so caused to move from one groove 12 of the rod 11 into an adjacent one. In a modification, the feeler 30 is replaced by a roller, and the screw 33 has at its end a magnet which normally maintains contact with a 'bar of magnetically permeable material but is moved out of contact by increased pirn diameter and regains contact when the air gap is lessened due to the roller moving along the pirn axis under the action of the counterweight. In this modification, the grooved rod is of square section. The counterweight 36 may be replaced by a spring, and an electromagnet may replace the permanent magnet of the second modification, or the bar itself may be made magnetic. When electromagnets are used, the feeler may actuate a switch to control the curent feed to the magnet.

Title: Method and equipment for the gasification of liquid fuels
IPC: C10G9/00
Filed: 1952-07-31
Abstract: 733,696. Gasifying oils and like liquid fuels; washing gases. HEURTEY, L. M. C., and HEURTEY, P. O. A. July 31, 1952 [Jan. 17, 1952; March 31, 1952], No. 19354/52. Class 55 (2). In a process for gasifying liquid fuels such as oils by means of a gasifying agent containing free oxygen the liquid fuels are deposited on an inert granulous support and gasified in the manner of a solid carbonaceous fuel, the inert support being circulated along a path lying partly or wholly within a gas producer vessel and extending within such vessel from a charging zone to a reaction zone and impregnated with the liquid fuel either externally or internally of the producer vessel. As shown in Fig. 1 a producer 1 contains a bed of a granulous support 4 impregnated with a liquid fuel to be gasified and gasifying agents are fed into the bed through a port 8. The inert support is withdrawn from the bed by a rotary grate 5 and falls into a sealing pot 14 which contains the liquid fuel. The impregnated support is carried by a conveyer 16 to a hopper 12 and recharged to the producer. Gases are led off through an outlet 10 and the lower part of the producer is in the form of an annular boiler 3. As shown in Fig. 2 the support is circulated within the producer by means of a hollow conical stirrer 21 and the liquid fuel is sprayed on to the material through a burner fed with an excess of the fuel over the combustion air whereby the fuel is preheated before admission to the producer. The process may be intermittent and divided into blow and run periods and the gases may be collected separately. On leaving the producer the gases pass through a purifying plant which extracts for possible reuse in the producer liquid fuel which is entrained in the gaseous products. The gases are first passed through a spray of oil thrown up by a rotating paddle 28 and then into chambers 31 and 34 divided by partitions 32 and containing nozzles 33 which have a constricted portion in which the gases are sprayed. A suction device 36 draws the gases into a chamber 38 where they are further sprayed by nozzles 37 and pass through a chamber 40 similar to chambers 31 and 34, and finally into a filter chamber 41. The filtering medium in the chamber 41 may conveniently consist of the material forming the inert support.

Abstract: 440,746. Pneumatic conveyers. JORGENSEN, M. VOGEL-, 24, Bulowsvej, Frederiksberg, near Copenhagen. July 6, 1934, No. 19929. [Class 78 (i)] In plant in which pulverulent material is forced through a pipe line by compressed air of the kind in which the material is discharged into the pipe line from a rotary hollow body by centrifugal action, one or more yieldable members are provided which normally close the opening or openings in the rotary body and prevent compressed air from passing through the hollow body instead of through the pipe line. In one construction an annular rubber member 8, Fig. 1, is fixed to the smaller wall 7 of the hollow rotary body 5 and hangs slackly when the plant is not running. When the body rotates, the member 8 stiffens and is pressed against the wall 6 by air pressure. Material supplied to the interior of the body 5 by the worm 3 accumulates between the wall 6 and member 8 until the centrifugal force exerted by it becomes so large that it overcomes the pressure which is urging the member 8 into contact with the wall 6, and is flung outwards into the space surrounding the body and is conveyed down the pipe line 1. In a modification, material is drawn through the pipe 13, Fig. 2, into the body 5 by suction set up by means of a hollow shaft 15, and is prevented from passing into the shaft 15 by a partition 14 provided with vanes 17. In another modification the rotary body comprises a number of pipes radiating outwards from a central space to which material is supplied. These pipes are closed at their outer ends by counterweighted pivoted flaps.
