Granted: 1911-09-28
Abstract: 24,534. McGregor, R. Oct. 22. Economizer valves and valve gear. - The supply of steam to the reversing valve 1 of a steering - engine is controlled by an economizer valve 6, which, after being partly closed by the valve - gear, is closed completely by the difference in steam pressure on its sides. The valve 6 is formed with. or is attached to, a balanced piston 8, and both valves are fitted loosely on the spindles with adjustable play at a, b. The difference of pressure on the upper and lower faces of the valve 6 is set up by wire-drawing of steam past the valve, after this is nearly seated by the gear. The operating-means shown for the valve 6 may be replaced by a reciprocating wedge acting on a roller carried by the valve-spindle 7.

Granted: 1911-11-16
Abstract: 5753. Allen, G. W. J. March 8. Fountains. - In a table fountain, a hollow piston-rod 10 carries a rack 14 gearing with a pinion 15 which is driven by clock-work. On winding up, water passes through the valves 9 to the space below the piston plate 6, the admission of air through the nozzle being prevented by a check-valve 35, Fig. 3. On the descent of the piston, water is pressed past the strainer 28 and up the piston-rod to the nozzle by way of the fixed tube 24. The water from the fountain is caught by the dish 1 and conveyed by a gauze-covered overflow pipe 25 to the cylinder 3. Alternatively, the piston-rod may be solid, and the fountain-pipe then lies outside the cylinder. The nozzle may be simple nr may contain a spirally-grooved loose revolving plug 40, Fig. 3.

Granted: 1912-08-01
Abstract: 20,004. Dunbar, A., and Dunbar's Process, Ltd. Sept. 8. Machines for raising, levelling, heating, trussing, and crozing casks. Prepared staves are assembled between adjustable rings A, A', Figs. 2 and 11, one of which serves as a levelling-ring, and at the bottom rest on rings B. The staves at the upper portion rest on fingers B<4> normally pulled outwards by an elastic cord C<3> threaded through them. When most of the staves are in position, hinged parts B' of the rings B are turned down to force the fingers B<4> inwards, and the remaining staves are inserted between the ends of the parts B'. The cask is then partly trussed or gathered by means of plungers D<4>, Fig. 5, slidable radially in rings D carried by adjustable slides D' mounted on a frame D<2> pivoted at D<3>. Shoes G are pivoted to the inner ends of the plungers and are connected in pairs by steel laths G<1>. According to the diameter of the barrel, one or other of openings E<3>, Fig. 7, in the plungers is engaged by corresponding arms of bell-crank levers E, the other arms of which are widened and connected by links F' pivoted at F. The rings D are divided into halves pivoted together at X and provided with fastenings X<2>, and the top halves are counterbalanced. The plungers are operated by levers E', E<2> linked to a segment bar H' engaging a pinion H<3> on a shaft H<4>. After the cask has been gathered, the rings A, A<1> are removed, and the frame D<2> is swung into the position shown in dotted lines in Fig. 2, where the cask is heated or fixed by a cresset J<2>, resting on a disk on the upper end of a vertical shaft J, Fig. 13. This shaft is rotated by a driving-band L', and is raised and lowered by means of levers P carrying a roller P' resting on a stepped cam Q', which can be moved endways to vary the extent of motion of the shaft J by means of a lever R<2> and a shaft R<1>. By means of a lever R' and a rope R<4>, the counterweighted levers P may be removed from the cam Q<1> while this is being moved into a new position. The trussing of the cask is then completed, and the frame D<2> swung back into its original position, where it is chimed and crozed by cutters carried by heads T<2>, Fig. 16. The cutter heads are carried by spindles T<1> in frames pivoted on a shaft S<1>. The frame is lowered and moved along the shaft S<1> by a lever S<4> until a pin Y enters an opening Y<1> in the lower half of the trussing-ring D. For expanding and withdrawing the cutting- tools, the cutter spindle T' is provided with an internal spindle which is actuated from a screwed spindle V<1> rotated in either direction by pulleys V<2>, V<3>, either of which can be coupled to the spindle Y<1> by coupling-gear V<4>. The bar W is provided with collars W<1> for moving the clutch lever, and with stops W<2> which disengage the clutch when the spindle V<1> has been moved through the required distance.

Granted: 1912-06-13
Abstract: 3113. Lahaussois, R. Feb. 15, 1911, [Convent.ion date]. Generators; generator plant.- Gas,rich in carbon monoxide, is obtained by spraying a mixture of heavy hydrocarbon and water into an electric arc, the resulting gases being passed through a layer of incandescent coal. Two pumps 1, 2 respectively draw water from a tank 3 and liquid fuel, for instance, a mixture of tar and naphtha, from a tank 4. The water and liquid fuel are separately delivered into vessels 5, 6, from which they are fed through cocks 22 and regulating-nozzles 11 into an electric furnace 12 having preferably four carbons 13. The high temperature decomposes the water and liquid fuel, and the resulting gases pass through a chamber 15 containing incandescent coal. The gases pass finally through a cooler 16, condenser 17, gas-holder 19, and a pressure-reducing device to a chamber 21, from which they are drawn by a gas-engine.

Abstract: 16,167. Groeling, A. F. G. C. P. J. von. July 10. Paraffin wax, extracting and purifying.-In separating oil from crystallized paraffin wax, a filter press arranged to produce thin cakes (about 8-15 mm. thick) is used. The temperature of solidification of the filtered oils may be varied by cooling the room containing the press, or by circulating a heating or cooling medium in conduits in the press - plates. The cakes obtained at a low temperature may be remelted, crystallized and filtered at a higher temperature. The cakes are finally subjected to a sweating process. The press plates are constructed so that the means for attaching the filter cloths are below the general level of the plates. The cloths M are attached by a two-part fitting B, I connected by bayonet-joints. The lower part B is prevented from rotating by a projection D taking into a recess E in the press-plate. The cloths are tightened by rotating the upper part I, whereupon the tongues G move along inclined flanges K. Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specification 2042/79.

Abstract: 14,518. Allgemeine Elektricitõts Ges. June 21, 1912, [Convention date]. Soldering.-In a method of soldering by electric resistance heating, the ends of the work are preliminarily heated by conduction from an auxiliary electrode, so as to melt the interposed flux, the soldering being then completed by resistance heatings. The parts a, b to be soldered, are held in electrodes c, d, flux e and solder f being placed between the ends. One or both parts are heated by a pivoted auxiliary electrode g, heat being conveyed by conduction from the point of contact of the electrode to the end or ends of the work until the flux is affected and contact made at the joint. The electrode g is then removed and the current passed directly across the joint.
