Abstract: 226,935. Siegrist, J. Nov. 10, 1923. Reservoir pens. - In a self-filling reservoir pen of the kind described in Specification 215,816, the nibcarrier is hollow and is connected to an inkreservoir, which is adapted to be reciprocated with the nib, in such a way as to protect the barrel and retracting - mechanism from the ink, and to prevent leakage. The nib-carrier 2, Fig. 4, is bored axially and is connected by a tube 5 to a collapsable sac 6 provided with a longitudinal strip 7 for facilitating compression. The sac is protected bv a tube 26 formed with an opening 27 to give access to the sac, and a covering cap 29, screwing on to the tube 26, is provided. The self-filling sac 6 may be replaced by a piston working in a cylinder. Screwing into the end of the tube 26 is a nut 17 carrying a spirally-slotted sleeve 1 through which the tube 5 extends.

Title: Improvements in the production of hydrogen-containing synthesis gases
IPC: C01B3/16
Filed: 1951-12-20
Abstract: <PICT:0694084/III/1> Hydrogen-containing gas intended for synthesis, e.g. of ammonia, is produced by catalytic reaction in 2 of carbon monoxide-containing gases and steam under an increased pressure, say 30 atm., below that of the subsequent synthesis reaction. Part of the resultant carbon dioxide is removed by condensation in tower 3 at 30 atm. and -55 DEG C, the low temperature being produced by evaporation of already condensed carbon dioxide passing from tower 3 through heat exchanger 4.  The remainder of the carbon dioxide and sulphur-containing impurities are washed out at 30 atm. in column 5 down which an aliphatic alcohol solvent, e.g. liquid methanol, cooled to -60 DEG C, trickles.  The resulting gas may be further washed in tower 8 with liquid nitrogen to remove carbon monoxide, methane, argon, and other inert gases.  The resulting nitrogen-hydrogen mixture may be further treated by liquid nitrogen vaporizing in vacuo, so that the nitrogen is condensed to produce pure hydrogen. The gases may be recovered in vessel 6 from the methanol solution from tower 5 by heat exchange through device 6a with the initial gas to be worked up, which may have been reacted with steam, and the methanol recycled.  If desired part of the remaining contaminants may be removed before the liquid nitrogen washing, by condensation by indirect heat exchange with the vapours of the already condensed contaminants.

Title: Control mechanism for presses
IPC: B30B15/14
Filed: 1961-08-24
Abstract: 973,650. Clutch and brake control. E. HERION. Aug. 24, 1961 [Oct. 22, 1960], No. 30519/61. Heading F2L. In a press having an hydraulically or pneumatically operated clutch 2 and brake 1 under the control of reversing valves 6, 7 which are controlled by simultaneously operated solenoidactuated pilot valves 12, 11, a throttle valve 18 in the supply line 9 to the brake pilot valve 11 and a throttle valve 18<SP>1</SP> in the exhaust line from the clutch pilot valve 12 ensure that the brake is fully released before the clutch is engaged and that the clutch is fully disengaged before the brake is applied. To start the press, solenoids 13 are energized, actuating the valves 11, 12 so that servo chambers 14 of the reversing valves 7, 6 are opened to exhaust through valve 11 and port 17 and through valve 12, line 17 and throttle valve 18<SP>1</SP> respectively. Pressure from a line 5 acts on and unseats valve elements 16, and pressure is supplied through lines 3, 4 to the clutch and brake servo chambers so that brake 1, which is applied by springs, is released, and after a delay dependent on the size of throttle 18<SP>1</SP>, clutch 2 is engaged. To stop the press the solenoids 13 are deenergized, so that pressure from line 5 is supplied through line 10 and valve 12 to the clutch valve servo chamber 14 and through throttle 18, line 9 and valve 11 to the brake valve servo chamber. The valve elements 16 are thus seated and the clutch and brake chambers opened to exhaust ports 15, the clutch being disengaged, and after a delay introduced by the throttle 18, the brake applied, by their springs. As shown in Fig. 1 the valves have a rotatable sleeve 31 having a series of different sized apertures 18<SP>11</SP> which can be brought selectively into register with the lines 10, 17 to give the desired delay. Alternatively the valves may be as shown in Fig. 3 having an axially movable plunger 31 with a passage 18<SP>11</SP> determining the minimum size of the throttle opening and hence the maximum delay, the plunger 31 being restrained from rotation by a pin 36 in the valve housing and having a screw thread connection with a rotatable member 38. Adjustment of member 38 varies the gap between the end 33 of the plunger and a valve seat 34, a spring-loaded ball detent 42 engaging a number of depressions in a disc-like part 40 of the member 38 to determine the resulting throttle sizes.
