Title: Improvements in Snow Melting Machines.
Inventor: CUNTZ HERMANN FRANCIS
IPC: E01H5/10
Filed: 1910-02-12
Granted: 1910-11-10
Abstract: 3486. Cuntz, H. F. Feb. 12. Cauldrons.-Relates to snow-melting cauldrons and consists in providing a heated chamber into which snow is loaded with means for forcing the snow against the heated walls as it is carried towards the discharge end. The chamber C, which is preferably carried on a selfpropelled vehicle, comprises a front part with a feed-hopper D and an elongated rear part in which the snow is compressed by a hollow heated worm F decreasing in pitch towards the rear. The chamber is mounted in a flue 0 lined with insulating-material I, and the products of combustion from oil burners G are drawn through the flue by a blower P, and are passed through the hollow shaft of the worm F to be discharged into the snow through holes F'. The fire-brick trough G' carrying the burners is adapted to slide towards the rear for ready adjustment and repair of the parts. The engine exhaust gases may be discharged on to the snow at R, and a tank through which the engine jacket water is circulated may be arranged to be cooled by the snow. The water formed is rapidly drained from the chamber C through perforations C' into a drain C<2>, which is flanked by fire-brick G<2> and leads to the outlet C<3>. To vary the compression of the snow, the speed of the worm F, driven through a friction-wheel N and disks M, is controlled by adjusting the position of the wheel N by means of a screwed rod g<1>. For the same purpose, a gate T is adjustably hinged at the rear end of the chamber C.

In the form shown in Fig. 1, the inner ends of two series of springs supporting twin outer rims rest in pairs on transverse levers J, each formed with a rib K pivoting in an annular groove in the inner rim L. In the form shown in Fig. 3, each member of a single series of springs G supports a plate K with a circumferential groove K<1> in which a pair of levers J supporting the 'twin rims are pivoted. In a modification with three outer rims, there are two systems of levers.

Granted: 1911-11-02
Abstract: 26,608. Pfenninger, O., and Townsend, E. C. Nov. 16. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Colour photography.-Additional components to be combined with the component prints of a three-colour photograph where the colours require modification are obtained by making prints from combinations of two of the component negatives. For example, in a threecolour print as a whole, it is desirable that the greens should be a little lighter in colour and that red and dark objects should receive more red-printing colour. The red component print should accordingly receive more red-printing colour and be improved. For this purpose, the yellow and red printing negatives are superposed and a fourth print obtained from the combination, which accentuates the red only. The original red component print should be printed mellow and light so that the other colours, but especially the greens, are overprinted or affected as far as is desirable and necessary. Other combinations of component printing negatives can be used, and the ordinary red-colour record of a three-colour print can be obtained from a combination of the yellow and red printing negatives.
