IPC: C02F1/16
Abstract: 199,006. Griscom-Russel Co., (Assignees of Robinson, R. L.). June 12, 1922, [Convention date]. Generating by indirect contact of steam; feedwater, supplying.-In a plant for supplying relatively high-pressure steam for operating engines, and also low-pressure steam for use, say, as a heating medium in cooking and boiling processes, the low-pressure steam is generated in an evaporator heated by the high-pressure steam, the conductor from the evaporator being returned to the boiler in which the high-pressure steam is generated. Low-pressure steam for use in a retort 3 is generated in an evaporator 2 heated by highpressure steam taken from a boiler 1 and circulated through a coil 12, the condensate being returned to the boiler by a pump 14. The water fed to the evaporator is preheated in a heater 4 by a steam coil 7. The coil is connected to a branch 7a from a pipe leading exhaust steam from auxiliary apparatus into an open boiler feedheater 8. The condensate from the coil 7 is discharged into the boiler feed-heater through a trap 30. The condensate from the coil 12 may also discharge into the boiler feed-heater. A small quantity' of steam may be taken from the low-pressure supply-pipe 18 through a valve 15 and supplied to the boiler feed-heater as makeup. Condensate from the retort 3 may be taken through a trap 17 and used also as make-up. In a modification, an additional evaporator heated by boiler steam in the same manner as the evaporator 2, is used to generate steam for heating the preheater and for use as additional makeup. A number of independent evaporators in which different pressures are maintained may be provided for supplying different retorts or other apparatus. The steam from an evaporator may be used to drive the feed-pumps, air pumps, or the like, the exhaust being led into the boiler feed-heater.

Title: A new or improved table game playing device
IPC: A63F7/06
Filed: 1960-06-07
Abstract: 882,350. Table games. LLORENS, E. June 7, 1960 [June 12, 1959], No. 19972/60. Class 132(2) In table-football &c. apparatus in which figures 9 representing the players are moved along longitudinally extending slots 15, 16, 17 in a playing surface 2 to project a ball into opposed goals, the slots extend completely from end to end of surface 2 and the figures 9 are carried on endless belts 3 so that an advanced figure can be returned to its original position by being passed underneath the surface 2 on the lower run of the belt. The slots are widened at their ends to facilitate entry of the figures and some of them are sinuous as shown in Fig. 3, the figures being so mounted on the belts as to have lateral movement to follow the sinuosities. The playing surface 2 is contoured as at 18 to give a tendency for the ball to move towards the centre of the surface and the slots of the attacking figures slope upwards at the defending goal to make ball-control more difficult at the goal mouth, the mounting of the figures permitting limited vertical movement. In Figs 1 and 3, at each end of a casing 1 is mounted a fixed transverse shaft 6 carrying pulleys 4 for the belts 3, alternate pulleys on each shaft being drive pulleys and idlers and an idler at one end being opposite a drive pulley at the other end. For each drive pulley, a two-armed lever 20 is pivoted on shaft 6, one arm terminating in an operating knob 19 and the other carrying a friction wheel 21 contacting the pulley to drive it. By raising the knob 19, wheel 21 is moved into engagement with a friction shaft 22 driven continuously by an electric motor 23 so that the belts 3 and figures 9 are advanced in the slots. Should it be desired to retract the figures to original position instead of moving them around a complete circuit of the belt, knob 19 is lowered to move wheel 21 into engagement with a second friction shaft 26 driven by motor 23 in the opposite direction to shaft 22. Depression of knob 19 actuates a brake on the associated pulley 4. As shown, a motor 23 is provided for each player who may have a speed control knob 49, but one motor may drive the shafts 22, 26 of both players. Each belt 3 carries a number of figures 9 so distributed that only a selected number of figures can appear on the surface 2 at any time. In a modified form, each drive pulley 4 is associated with a pulley protruding through the casing and adapted to be rotated manually by the player. Goals may be automatically or manually recorded, a bucket conveyer may return balls into play, and the apparatus may be coin freed.

Title: Improvements in wire drawing machines
Inventor: RICHARDS SAMUEL HUGH
IPC: B21C1/08
Filed: 1959-06-11
Abstract: 859,803. Drawing wire. MARSHALL RICHARDS MACHINE CO. Ltd. June 11, 1959, No. 19991/59. Class 83 (4). In a wire-drawing machine of the kind comprising a pair of spaced rotatable drawing drums about which the wire to be drawn is passed backwards and forwards in a plurality of runs and at least one of which drums comprises at least two portions rotatable at different peripheral velocities and in which there are at least two wire-drawing dies between the drums acting on at least two runs of wire, the axes of rotation of the two drums are inclined to one another so that the wire drawn from each die is in substantial alignment with the wire entering the die. The axes of rotation 43, 34 of the stepped drawing drums 1, 2, respectively, of a wire-drawing machine are inclined at an angle of approximately 5 degrees so that the runs of wire leaving the dies 7-12, e.g. the length of wire 58 under considerable tension run on to the drums at an angle of 90 degrees to the drum axis while at the same time maintaining alignment with the run of wire entering the die, e.g. the length of wire 60. This arrangement is said to reduce wear on the dies. In order to prevent grooving of the drums the dies 7-12 may be adjustable as a set axially of the shaft 34. The angle of inclination of the drum axis may vary in accordance with the distance apart of the drums and the relative position of the dies. The drums rotate in opposite directions, the runs of wire crossing between the drums or alternatively the drums may rotate in the same direction when the wire does not cross. After leaving the drum 2 the wire passes over guidepulleys 13, 14 and over further stepped drums 3, 4 with axes 42, 39 relatively inclined at 5 degrees and through dies 16-13. From the drum 4 the wire is drawn through a finishing die 24 by a drum 25 and is then coiled on a bobbin 28 using a traversing pulley 27. A motor 30 drives the drums 2, 4 and 25 and the bobbin 28 through chain and sprocket gearing while the inclined shafts 42, 43 are driven through further chain-and-sprocket gearing and inclined spurgears 40, 41.

Filed: 1933-07-15
Abstract: 422,849. Clocks. BREMNER PATENTS (HOLDING CO.), Ltd., and BREMNER, D. O., 1, Ironmonger Lane, London. July 15, 1933, No. 20105. [Class 139] Stop mechanism.-A start and stop device operating on the balance wheel of a lever escapement clock comprises a pivoted plate member 3, Figs. 1 and 3, with a spring wire extension 1 adapted to contact with the balance wheel 2, an arm 11 carrying a pivot 4 for the plate 3 and provided with a sleeve 6 loosely mounted on the manual operated spindle 5 and a quadrant secured to the spindle 5 and co-operating with a pin 7 on the plate 3. When the spindle 5 is moved to the position shown in Fig. 4, the pin 7 is freed and the plate 3 falls under spring action or by gravity so as to cause the wire 1 to give an impulse to the balance wheel to start the clock. On the return movement of the spindle 5 to the position in Fig. 1, the pin 7 is raised and a spring acting on the arm 11 restores the wire 1 into contact with the balance wheel to arrest it. Movement of the member 3 in either direction is limited by a fixed pin 9. The device may be applied to the clock mechanism of a device for registering or controlling the supply of gas, electricity &c. on a time basis as described in Specification 361,586, [Group XIX].

Title: Fuel-injection pump for an internal combustion eingine
IPC: F02M59/26
Filed: 1974-05-07
Abstract: 1472125 Fuel injection pumps YANMAR DIESEL ENGINE CO Ltd 7 May 1974 20110/74 Heading F1A In a fuel injection pump comprising an angularly adjustable plunger 3 reciprocable in a cylinder barrel 2 to deliver fuel from a working chamber 20 past a discharge valve 4, the delivery being controlled by the relative co-operation between a by-pass orifice 9' in the cylinder and a metering slit 12 in the plunger periphery and connected to the working chamber 20 by a bore 11  extending through the plunger, the metering slit 12 is of smaller flow area than the by-pass orifice 9' and the bore 11. Because of the small area of the metering slit fuel flows past the discharge valve and out through the by-pass orifice 9' at the same time, whereby sudden rises in the delivery pressure are avoided. The by-pass orifice 9' is elliptical and the slit 12 is transverse to the plunger axis. A radial bore opening on to the periphery of the plunger adjacent one end of the slit 12 is connected to the bore 11. Fuel passing the discharge valve 4 passes through a pulsation chamber 15 having smaller diameter inlet and outlet passages 17, 16, respectively. Fuel enters the working chamber 20 through a suction port 8. In the zero delivery position of the plunger the metering slit 12 and the radial bore communicate with the orifice 9' before the suction port 8 is closed.

Abstract: 883,648. Compressed-air engines. AIRNESCO PRODUCTS Ltd. June 8, 1960, No. 20215/60. Classes 122 (2) and 122 (3). A fluid-pressure operated vibrator in which a piston 5 is reciprocated in a cylinder 1 by air pressure alternately admitted to and exhausted from opposite ends of the cylinder by way of ports 6, 6<SP>1</SP>, 16 controlled by reciprocation of the piston has an opening at one end (as distinct from at one side) of the cylinder for the admission of fluid pressure, and the other end of the cylinder is adapted for connection to a brush or other accessory. The cylinder 1 is closed at its ends by detachable plugs 2, 3, of which the plug 3 has a screwed socket 10 for receiving the fluid pressure line and the other plug 2 has a screwed boss 8 for the attachment through a coupling 9 of the accessory. Mounted within the cylinder and located in bores 14 in the end plugs 2, 3 is a tube 13 having a duct 12 which at one end communicates with the inlet socket 10 and terminates in an axially-extending groove 15 for co-operation with the port 16 provided in the piston. The piston 5 has a bore 17 to enable it to slide over the tube 13 and a second bore 18 housing two tubular inserts 20, 20<SP>1</SP> separated by a central valve chamber 23 receiving a valve element 25 for co-operation alternately with seating surfaces on the ends of the two inserts. In operation, if the valve element 25 is seated against the insert 20, air from the inlet socket 10 will pass through the tube 13, groove 15, port 16 and insert 20<SP>1</SP> into the space A2 at one end of the cylinder causing the piston to move towards the end plug 2. At the time when the piston closes the exhaust port 6, the port 16 moves beyond the end of the groove 15 and the air trapped in the space A1 is compressed so as to cause the valve element 25 to seal against the insert 20<SP>1</SP> to reverse the action. The tube 13 instead of being cylindrical may be of rectangular cross-section and disposed within a corresponding slot in the periphery of the piston, or the tube 13 may be dispensed with and the supply duct then constituted by a bore in the wall of the cylinder.
