Patent EE-200100625-A (EE)
Inventor: KUEPPERS PETER
IPC: E04C2/36
Filed: 2000-05-25
Abstract: A construction element 1 consists of multiple individual layers 2, 3, 4 whereas the medium layer 3 is in turn composed of a multitude of additional individual layers 23, 24, 25 . The individual layers 2, 4, 23, 24, 25 are configured in such a way that they interlock and clamp into each other thereby producing or defining surfaces that allow the elements or individual layers 2, 4, 23, 24, 25 that are integrated in the construction of the construction element to evenly absorb the forces that are being applied. At the same time, not only pressure or lateral forces but also tensile and transverse forces can be absorbed so that altogether a construction element 1 with a low weight but high stability has been created. This construction element 1 can be shaped or deformed appropriately and can also be extended three-dimensionally so that an adaptation to the individual conditions in any plane or direction is possible.

Title: Improvements in Boot Nailing Machines.
Inventor: DORMAN WILLIAM HENRY
Filed: 1898-09-16
Granted: 1899-07-22
Abstract: 19,654. Dorman, W. H. Sept. 16. Nailing.- Relates to machines for inserting hob-nails, rivets, &c. such as are described in Specification No. 23,363, A.D. 1895. The jack may be of the kind described in Specification No. 17,407, A.D. 1894, and may be provided with a guard to prevent it from falling when released by the operator. The nails or rivets are contained in a rotating box c, Fig. 1, which drops them on to a shoot c' down which they slide, one at a time. A wheel c<3> removes improperly-arranged nails from the shoot. Guides c<14> may be fitted to prevent the nails from rising from the shoot or, in the case of oblong-headed nails, from presenting their long sides in the wrong direction. If iron nails are being driven, the driver-bar e is magnetized and provided with a brass nose-piece which may be of the spring variety. The nails are conveyed from the shoot to the driver by a reciprocating carrier as described in the Specification first referred to above. The carrier has attached to it a nail-receiving pocket suited to the nails being used. If brass nails are being driven, the driverbar is non-magnetic, and the nails are conveyed to it by a circular plate having notches or pockets to receive the nails, and receiving a step-by-step motion from a cam. When the nails come under the driver, they fall through into a spring holder from which they are driven into the sole by the descent of the bar through the notch or pocket in the plate. The work may be fed by hand or by a presser-foot m operated by a cam on the driving- spindle b, and acting on the head of the last-driven nail. Thus, should a nail be missed, the work is not fed forward. The presser m is attached to a lever m<1> pivoted at m<5> and adjusted as to amount of lift by a pin and slotted revoluble bush at m<18>. An awl may be used with the above feed-motion, or it may take the place of the foot m and be used to feed the work. The upper guide h is adjusted as regards height by rotating it on the spindle h<2>, which is adjustable lengthwise. A guide such as shown in Fig. 34 takes the place of the guides h when nails are being driven into the middle of the sole. The horns take upon the upper, and are secured to a circular pin j<4> movable in a slot in the adjustable block j<6>. The pin j<4> may be left free, or may be locked in any desired position by a setscrew. Figs. 6, 7, and 8 show a top-gauge. The part i bears on the sole, and the roughened part i<2> on the heads of the nails.

Abstract: 3987. Scott, E. G. March 1. Ammonium sulphate.- Relates to the distillation of gas and other ammoniacal liquors in vacuo to obtain ammonia, which is subsequently treated with sulphuric acid to obtain ammonium sulphate. Fig. 1 shows a plant for this purpose, partly in section. The ammoniacal l i q u o r is pumped into the still c. The ammonia is given off, and with the steam rising from the liquor passes off by the pipe i to a vessel j, capable of resisting the action of sulphuric acid. The steam and ammonia pass through dilute sulphuric acid in the vessel j, which is also under a vacuum. Sulphate of ammonia is thus formed, and is removed continuously or at intervals. The steam which comes from the still c and that generated in the vessel j pass together to a second still m, the ammonia from which is treated in a vessel n similar to j. The vacuum is made by a pump o, in which the steam is partly condensed by the waste liquor supplied by the pipe p. The example shows a duplicate apparatus, but a series of three or more sets of apparatus may be employed.
