Abstract: 20,466. Steinm³ller, L. Sept. 15. Moderating superheat.-The saturated steam is dried and slightly superheated in an intermediate heater inserted in the piping between the boiler and the superheater and heated by the superheated steam, which is thus modified in temperature before passing to the engine or turbine. Fig. 1 shows one arrangement. The intermediate heater 2 is of tubular form and is so arranged that the saturated steam circulates inside and the superheated steam outside the tubes. The pipe from the boiler is shown at 1, the superheater at 4, and the pipe leading the superheated steam to the engine at 6. Connexions and valves are provided for passing the superheated steam direct to the pipe 6, for mixing saturated steam with the superheated steam, and for by-passing the saturated steam either wholly or in part round the heater 2. Water may be sprayed from a pipe 32 into the pipe 1 to reduce the temperature of the superheated steam. In the modification shown in Fig. 2, the boiler is fitted with two outlet pipes 20, 21 for wet and dry steam respectively. The amounts of wet and dry steam passing to the superheater 4 are determined by a three-way valve 25 operated automatically by a thermostat 23 in the pipe 5 or a thermostat 24 in the pipe 6. Instead of the valve 25, separate valves may be fitted in the pipes 21, 3 and operated together from a common shaft.

Abstract: 7593. Stander, J. March 28. Angular bending; bending-dies.-In a machine for making angular tubes for bedsteads &c. with a seamed joint, the metal sheet is clamped to a table by a plate with a projecting rib, and the edges and also the sides are bent by a hinged plate, which presents a flat top surface normally flush with the table, and which has a groove to receive the first bent edge when the third or return bend is being made. The sheet s is clamped to a table b with a hardened portion i by a projection x on the hardened piece h of a plate f<1>, which is operated by a lever and a pair of eccentrics e<1> on a shaft c. The bending-die consists of a plate k having a groove k<1> to receive one of the edge bends and is clamped to a plate j, which is mounted on pivots j<1> and normally maintained in its vertical position and also counterbalanced by weighted chains connected to a pair of arms j<2> mounted on the pivots j<1>. The edges are first bent in turn by placing the sheet with the edge in line with the front of the plate k and then turning the plate j<1> by the aid of a pair of handles j<4> to bend the sheet against the outside edge of the plate h. The underside of the plates h, f<1> is cut away to make room for the bent edges of the sheet. One of the edges is then placed in engagement with the groove k<1>, and a bend such as 3 is then made, the angle of the bend being determined by a stop placed in one of a number of holes in the frame a and engaged by the arm j<2>. The bends 4 and 5 are next made, the blank being placed so as to abut against shoulders n<1> on a number of adjustable stops n fixed to angle irons m clamped to the plate j. In making the final bend, the edge 3 moves over the flattened upper surface of the plate f<1> but assumes the desired position owing to the elasticity of the metal when removed from the machine. The joint is closed in a separate machine.
