Abstract: 24,473. Lillie, S. M. Oct. 21. Relates to evaporating- plant comprising evaporators in which are arranged s t e a m - heated coils for preheating the liquid under treatment. Film evaporators.-An evaporator comprising steam and evaporating chambers S, S<1>, and having heating-tubes b extending from the steam-chamber S into the evaporating chamber S' is provided with a preheating-coil E in the steam-chamber S. This arrangement is shown in plan in Fig. 1 and in vertical section in Fig. 3, as applied to a "Lillie" evaporator in which the l i q u i d falls over the external surfaces of horizontal h e a t i n gtubes b. Multiple - effect apparatus.-A multiple-effect apparatus arranged for the reversal of the flow of vapour and liquid through the effects A, A<1>, A<2>, is also provided with means for reversing the flow of the liquid through the series of preheaters E. The steam and evaporating chambers S, S<1> are arranged on opposite sides of adjacent effects, so that by moving the valves C, C<1>, C<2>, C<3>, the flow of the vapour may be reversed. The flow of the liquid undergoing evaporation is reversed by means of valved pipes I<6>, I<7>, and the flow of the liquid through the preheaters is reversed by means of valved pipes G, G', the valved pipes I<3> serving to lead the preheated liquid into the evaporators as required. If different liquids are undergoing evaporation in the separate effects, this arrangement is not adopted.

Granted: 1911-03-09
Abstract: 25,278. Eshuis, G. Oct. 31. Windows, cleaning.-In an apparatus by means of which a person standing inside a room can clean the outside of a window, a telescopic rod q, r, Fig. 2, carrying a brush t or the like is hinged or coupled to a tube b which is supported in a bracket g, clamped to the window 2 and resting upon the framing and sill. The ends of the rod q and the tube b are bent to the arc of a circle and fit one within the other, while the angle between the two is adjusted by an angle-lever x pivoted at x<1> and connected to a tube v passing through the outer tube b. A knob w adjusts the tube v longitudinally or locks it in any position by its engagement with notches in arms c secured to the tube b. The arms c carry a cross-bar e by which the tube b may be partly rotated when cleaning the window. The telescopic members r are extended or retracted by a flexible rod or cane y passing through the tubes. A nozzle u<1> for supplying water to the brush &c. is carried on the end of the innermost rod r. The sponge, wash-leather, or other cleaning-pad is detachably secured in a pair of wire tweezers, Figs. 10 and 11. The tweezers may be opened by pressing on the projecting part 26 and pulling the loop 27. The bracket for clamping the tube b in position may be modified for attachment to the side of an open French or casement window, or the windows may be modified so that the apparatus may be used with the window closed. In the latter case a hole 25 to accommodate the tube b is formed in the stiles and weather strip as shown in the horizontal sectional views, Figs. 8 and 9. To cover the hole 25 when the cleaning- device is removed, boxes 15 sliding on guideways 12 are provided. These boxes are held in the closed position shown in Fig. 8 by springs 18, or in the open position shown in Fig. 9 by catches 20.

Granted: 1911-11-30
Abstract: 27,815. Conyers, T. E., and Broughton, H. Nov. 30. Change box motions. - The pattern mechanism for a change-box motion comprises two main card cylinders 7<A>, 7<B>, Figs. 2 and 3, which control one another and are each arranged to control a third cylinder 7 carrying the cards for weaving the body of the cloth. When a card having a raised portion 15, Figs 5 and 6, comes beneath either of the feelers 1<A>, 2A, one of a pair of levers 3<A> is turned and engages a pin 10 on a spring- controlled or weighted lever 11, thus withdrawing the pin 10 from an arm 8 and allowing a turning-catch 6 on an independently-reciprocated lever to fall into its operative position. When the card on the cylinder 7<A> or 7<B> has a hole opposite the feeler 1<A> or 2<A>, the catch 1<B> or 2<B> falls into position to operate the other main cylinder. If the portion of the card beneath the feeler 1<A> or 2<A> is not perforated or raised, the catch for the other main cylinder is held out of action, and the corresponding lever 3A does not turn the lever 11.

Driving, starting, and stopping arrangements; leno and like motions. - In making slat-and-wire fabrics for plastering purposes, garden fencing, mats, &c., the slats are placed on tension wires and connected thereto by binding-wires which are wound round the slats and then round the tension wires several times in the position of rest; the tension wires are then advanced and the binding- wires again wound several times round them. The tension wires 2 are fed from drums 1, under tension rollers 3, through hollow shafts 5, which carry spring-regulated coils 6 of binding- wire 7 and are mounted in laterally-adjustable supports to vary the distance between the tension wires. The tension wires pass through hollow pins 5<a> and the binding-wires through hollow pins 9 on cranks 8. Members 10, 10<a> for guiding the binding-wires and maintaining by friction the tension thereof to prevent formation of loops are provided on both sides of the pins 5<a>, 9. The slat 12 is placed on the tension wires in front of the members 10, 10<a> when in the dotted-line position shown in Fig. 8, and the members are then moved to force the slat into the joint and to release the pins by a bar 11 engaging therewith and operated by bars 19<b>, rollers 19<a>, and wedgeshaped bars 18 from a pedal lever on a shaft 16<a>. The pedal lever, on further depression, moves the clutch member 22 into engagement with the member 22<a> on the loose pulley 26 through levers 20 and forked lever 21. The lever 21 carries a projection, which is held by a spring in contact with a disk 24 on a countershaft 27 driven from the shaft 25 by removable reduction gearing 29, 28, the clutch being disengaged when the projection enters a recess in the disk.
