Title: Starting device for internal combustion engines
IPC: F02N3/00
Filed: 1920-07-26
Abstract: 149,624. Herzmark, N. Aug. 11, 1919, [Convention date]. Turning-gear.-A compressed air starter comprises a piston a in a cylinder 'd, the stem b of the piston having screw-threads engaging a nut d<2> on the end of the cylinder, and having a clutch member b<3> for engagement with a clutch pin c' on the engine shaft. The cylinder d is free to move longitudinally and is prevented from rotation by guide members e<1> pivoted at e<2> in a fixed ring e and secured in the position shown by cotter pins e<4>. On the admission of compressed air through a port d<4>, the clutch b<3>, c<1> is brought into engagement and the continued movement of the piston relative to the cylinder effects the rotation of the stem b and the engine shaft by means of the nut d<2> and the thread on the stem. The piston may be returned by a spring or by the admission of compressed air behind the piston. The supply pipe for compressed air is flexible, telescopic, or hinged to allow for the movement of the cylinder d. When it is desired to turn the engine by hand, the guide members e<1> are released by withdrawing the cotter pins, and a starting-handle is applied to the squared end d<5> of the cylinder d. The threaded stem b of the piston then serves to disconnect the clutch if the engine starts backwards. In a modification, the guides e<1> are replaced by longitudinal guide-rods secured by a bayonet-joint on a rigid portion of the engine base.

[Class 100 (i).] Associating - apparatus ; c u t t i n gapparatus.-In a newspaper-printing press, separate sheets are inserted in the product by feeding a web w<1> into engagement with one or more webs w running at a higher speed, and separating the slower web into sheets while registering the sheets at their rear end in engagement with the faster web or webs. The web w<1> is fed between half. speed cutting-cylinders 11, 12 forming transverse slits or perforations, and is shown as passing between two full-speed webs w to a folder 10 and a cutting and folding cylinder 9. The forward end of the slower web is nipped against the other webs by rollers 24, 25 to effect separation of the sheet along the line of perforations, and simultaneously the slower web is momentarily nipped near the line of perforations between a roller 23 and a lower roller 20 having a spring-seated section 22, to prevent rebound of the leading edge of the web and maintain register. In another arrangement, rebound is obviated by providing a second cutting-couple arranged in place of the nipping- rollers 20, 23 to cut between the first series of slits to sever the sheet. A further provision for maintaining register consists in perforating the superposed webs and sheet by blunt pins on one of the high-speed forwarding-rollers, in the transverse margin across the leading edge of the sheet, or in the longitudinal margins, or in both the transverse and longitudinal margins, so that the webs and sheet are sealed together.

Abstract: 1,154,746. Fe containing pellets. ARTHUR G. McKEE & CO. 20 May, 1966 [22 June, 1965], No. 22659/66. Heading C1A. Fe-containing pellets are produced by passing green balls of an oxidic Fe material on a moving grate through a first drying zone, and tumbling the balls through a second reducing zone at a higher temperature so that at least some Fe is formed, hot gases being passed through both zones. The starting material may be ores or dust from steel-making furnaces, which is moistened and optionally mixed with 1-5% bentonite, up to 1% aqu. HCl, and up to 8% fine coke. Balls -1 inch in diam. are formed in a balling disc or drum and undersized balls may be recycled. The balls are then heated at 250-800 F. on a moving grate through which hot air is drawn from above, and discharged into an inclined rotary kiln together with particles of coke or coal (50-100% by wt.). Combustion gases from a gas or fuel oil fire burner (containing excess O 2 ) pass in countercurrent and maintain a temperature of 1600- 2500 F. As, Zn and Pb impurities are removed. The exhaust gases may be passed through a heat exchanger to heat air (used in the first zone or as combustion air) and thence to dust removers e.g. bag filters. Alternatively, they may be mixed with exhaust air from the first zone, then passed to dust collectors, and then returned to the first zone. The balls are discharged from the kiln to a rotary water jacketed cooler where they are cooled to below 300 F. in an atmosphere containing C0 2 , CO, N 2  and inert gases (carried over from the kiln). They are then screened and separated magnetically from coke particles, the undersized balls and coke being recycled. The product is said to have a core of Fe and FeO with 15-30% porosity, and a coating 2-15 Á thick of FeO.
