When a first set of rotary impellers has lifted successive boxes beneath one another to form a stack, a second set of impellers rotate to push the stack against other stacks to form a group. In the form shown, boxes, fed through a trough 5 by a pusher conveyer 2, are lifted by rotating impellers 6, 7, into a vertical shoot 10, the boxes being retained by spring-loaded end flaps 11, 12 at the bottom of the shoot. When the shoot is full, the upper box engages a contact 16 which effects rotation of the second set of impellers 18, 19. During this rotation, pins 18<SP>11</SP>, 19<SP>11</SP>, extending from the impellers, engage the stack and push it horizontally against stacks previously fed.

IPC: C10B31/02
Filed: 1921-02-11
Abstract: 180,396. Diepschlag, E.' Feb. 11, 1921. Blast, composition of; extracting.-In a shaft furnace, for example, a blast furnace, in which finely powdered materials are fed direct to the smelting or combustion zone, the materials are subjected to a preliminary drying operation by the heat of the furnace gases. In one method of operation the fine material is first fed into the furnace along with the ordinary charge, and is dried during its passage from the furnace to the dust separator along with the exhaust gases. In another method the material is passed through a drier heated by the furnace gases. In the construction of drier shown the material and gases pass through the tube 2 in opposite directions and additional heat may be supplied externally from the burner 8. The furnace gases can be by-passed when desired through the connection 6, and after the drying the material may be disintegrated in the ball mill 10. The furnace gases may be applied externally to the drying chamber, or this may take the form of a rotary drum. Hot waste gases from metallurgical furnaces, gas engines, air heaters, boiler furnaces, &c., may be used for supplying additional heat.

Class 100(3) An auxiliary typographical casting machine comprises a stereotype outfit with a vertical mould disc provided with several moulds of different sizes, a stationary table to receive a line of hand-composed matrices, means to transfer the line of matrices from the stationary table to the mouth of the mould having the suitable size, and a tilting shelf mounted so as to be brought down from a nearly horizontal position, in which it constitutes an extension of the table, to a lower vertical position, the shelf being provided with means for retaining the line of matrices, which is moved on to it, when the shelf is brought down to its vertical position. Matrices 31, Fig. 1, and spacebands 10 are composed by hand on a table 2 and pushed by means of a block 6 on to a shelf 13 against a guide 17, a guide I being brought down to the right of the line and a rule 12 on top of it. A finger 16 is moved to release the shelf 13, which falls to vertical position, Fig. 4, a transferring carriage 44 connected to the guides 11, 17 becoming aligned with a passage-way leading to the elevator head 19, into which the line is brought by the carriage by manual movement of a lever 8 having a handle 7. The carriage is latched by a member 29, Fig. 10. Further movement of the lever 8 starts the casting-mechanism, the elevator moves the line down to casting-position in front of a selected mould in a mould-wheel, then moves it up again. By again operating the lever 8, repeat casting occurs. When the top 28 of the elevator head abuts an adjustable stop 26 on the machine frame 1, the member 29 is displaced to release the carriage 44 for return to its original position.

Abstract: 869,643. Substation equipment. ASSOCIATED ELECTRICAL INDUSTRIES Ltd. Feb. 9, 1959 [Feb. 20, 1958], No. 5579/58. Class 40 (4). In a cradle switch operating mechanism, a contact-operating bar 32 pivots about nose-like portions 41 formed on projections 39, 40, the nose portions engaging over the edges of slots 37, 38 in a support member 31. As shown, the projection 39 is undercut at 42, to form a portion of width x slightly less than the width a of the restricted portion of the recess 37. In assembly the portion x is passed through the gap a to the wider portion of the recess 37 and then allowed to drop so that the nose 41 rests on the portion of the member 31 adjacent the end of the wider portion of the slot 37. The bar 32 is then held in position by a member 42 abutting the surface 43 of the projection 39. The operating bar has lateral members 33 having portions 34 upwardly extending and carrying buttons (not shown) extending through the casing for contacting with the handset. The bar also comprises a skirt member 45 which operates the comb-member 46 of the spring-set 44 (not shown in detail). In a modification, Figs. 1A, 1B, both the nose-pieces are of simple construction but the edge of one of the slots 12 has a stepped portion and in assembly the projection is inserted in the widest portion of the slot and moved to the intermediate position where the nose 14 engages upper surface of the support member. The operating bar is retained in this position by a member screwed to the support frame which projects slightly over the edge of the slot opposite the opening and abuts the projection 10 when the latter is in position. The two slots may be extended towards each other to form a single slot and the projections likewise made to coalesce into a single projection. Latching means (not shown) may be provided for holding the bar in the unoperated position when the assembly is removed from its casing.

Title: Improvements in the manufacture and production of condensation products of urea and formaldehyde
IPC: C08G12/12
Filed: 1927-02-28
Abstract: 266,752. I. G. Farbenindustrie Akt.- Ges. Feb. 27, 1926, [Convention date]. Urea-formaldehyde condensation products are prepared by condensing dimethylolurea, or the higher molecular amorphous condensation products resulting therefrom by splitting off water by means of alkaline condensing agents, in alcohols with the aid of acid condensing agents and under mild conditions of working. Crystalline products are thereby obtained which, by treatment under stronger conditions, are transformed into lacquers and glass-like colloidal bodies. Other solvents may be added to the alcohols and pressure may be employed in both treatments. The condensation under stronger conditions may be effected in the fused state, and materials such as plasticizers, natural and artificial resins, and cellulose esters may be present. According to the examples (1) dimethylolurea is boiled for a short time in methyl or ethyl alcohol containing a little hydrochloric acid; after neutralization and filtration, a crystalline product separates out; the condensation may be ejected under pressure in a closed vessel; (2) the product of the preceding example obtained in methyl alcohol solution is dissolved in this solvent and heated in a closed vessel, preferably with the addition of sodium phosphate; a lacquer solution is obtained after neutralization with calcium oxide and filtration. Specifications 261,029 and 262,148 are referred to. The Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91 (3) (a) states that the process is applicable to methyl compounds obtained from the homologues and derivatives of urea, such as thiourea, N-methylurea and N-methylthiourea, bv alkaline condensation with formaldehyde. It also mentions hydrocarbons, ethers and esters as other solvents that may be present: also alcoholic hydrochloric acid, formic acid, acetic acid, and sulphuric acid monomethyl ester as weaklyacid condensing agents used in the first treatment; and phenols, colophony, casein and yeast as additive materials. The following examples are also included :-(1) dimethylolurea is suspended in a mixture of methyl alcohol and benzene, and heated for a short time with a little formic or acetic acid; sufficient caustic potash is added to neutralize the acid and the solution then filtered and cooled to give a crystalline product; (2) a lacquer is obtained by heating in an autoclave a suspension in isobutyl alcohol of the product of the preceding example; phenol may be added prior to the heating: (3) a suspension of monomethylolurea in methyl alcohol is heated for a short time with sulphuric acid monomethylester, neutralized with caustic potash and filtered; a crystalline product separates out on cooling. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.
