Granted: 1914-01-15
Abstract: 11,754. Vulcan-Werke Hamburg und, Stettin Akt.-Ges. April 22, [Convention date]. Levels, regulating.-The supply of liquid to a tank &c. is controlled by an apparatus operated by suction, the suction apparatus drawing air freely until the liquid in the tank reaches the desired level, whereupon it closes the air-inlet. In the arrangement shown, water passes to the tank 4 by a pipe 2 controlled by a valve 3. The valve 3, which may be balanced as shown, is operated by the pressure of the air on a piston 9, the space above the piston 9 being connected to an ejector 7 operated by water from the pipe 2, or other exhausting-device. As long as the tank 4 is not full, the ejector 7 draws air through a pipe 6, but when the water in the tank 4 reaches the opening of the pipe 6 and seals it, a vacuum is produced above the piston 9. which thereon rises, causing the valve 3 to close the pipe 2. A regulating-valve 8 is placed in the pipe 6.

Granted: 1913-11-20
Abstract: 14,244. Brock, M. July 17, 1912, [Convention date]. Lasting.-The heel-band of end-lasting mechanisms, such as that described in Specification 11,712/11, is shaped on its inner side 4 to the contour of the last, and is formed on its under side with chambers 5 to constitute a double wall, so that, when closed upon the shoe, the lower portions first engage the shoe upper, and the area of contact thereafter spread upwards to gather the stock towards the edge of the last bottom. The outer face 2 of the band is made of leather, and the body and inner face preferably of balata and leather fibres, moulded to shape while moderately warm, but with heavy pressure and without vulcanization. The inner face is thus made smooth, hard, and glassy ; at the rear portion, the band is made of slightly less width than the portion of the last that is to be drawn into it. With this construction, the band adheres to the upper leather very closely and tightens it forwards about the rear end of the last, so that the assembling tack which is usually inserted in the rear end face of the shoe can be withdrawn before the lasting operation. The leather outer face 2 is formed with holes 6, through which the balata &c. is forced under the moulding pressure, to secure the parts together.

Abstract: 3210. Delort, T. Feb. 8, 1913, [Convention date]. Hydrocarbon oils, distilling; vapours, utilizing for effecting further evaporation; bulk evaporators; film evaporators; progressive evaporators.-Apparatus for distilling petroleum &c. consists of two stills, of which one is arranged within the other. The boiler M, Fig. 1, of the inner still is heated electrically; the boiler R of the outer still receives heat from the boiler M and condensing-coil S of the inner still. In one form of apparatus, Fig. 1, the electrical heating-means are enclosed between inclined plates P over which the oil flows in cascade. In another form of apparatus, the inner still is partly covered with a layer of a refractory material and an outer casing of wood, and is fitted with a number of superposed electric heaters. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) describes apparatus in which the outer casing is not a boiler, but is merely a preheater for the oil, and in which the oil is distilled while flowing over steam-heated pipes or other film-forming surfaces. One form of apparatus, Fig. 2 (Cancelled), comprises two superposed boilers M<1>, M<11> of the same character as the inner boiler shown in Fig. 1. These boilers, with their condensing-coils S, S<1>, are arranged in an outer preheating-chamber M. The oil passes in succession through the chamber M, boiler M<1>, heat-exchanging coil l, and boiler M<11>. The residual oil gives up a portion of its heat while passing around the heat-exchanging coil l, and then passes away through a second heat-exchanging coil S". In another form of apparatus, the oil is distilled in superposed stills while flowing through a number of inclined gutters p, shown in crosssection in Fig. 5 (Cancelled). These gutters are heated by flues F<1>, through which pass products of combustion. This subject-matter dues not appear in the Specification as accepted.
