Filed: 1910-06-10
Granted: 1911-01-26
Abstract: 14,046. Simon, E. D., and Simon, Ltd., H. June 10. Feeding - devices for granular and like materials; roller mills.-In apparatus for feeding grain or granular material to roller mills or other machines used in flour milling, in which a feed-gate operates in conjunction with one or more feed-rollers, means are provided so that, by different degrees of movement of a single lever &c., the feed-gate may be set for a fixed feed, or released for automatic feed, or lifted bodily from its roller to permit a copious flow of feed. The controlling-shaft 4 is placed opposite the upper part of the feed-gate 12, and carries arms 3 which are pivoted to tho upper ends of links 2 having their lower ends slotted to receive pins 5 on bell-crank levers 6. When the links are raised so that the lower ends of the slots come directly against the pins 5, the levers 6 and the attached screws 8 prevent any further movement of the gate 12 away from the rollers B. On turning the shaft 4 so as to lower the links, the pins 5 are free to move downwards, and the levers 6 and gate 12 are controlled by the springs 1. A further movement of the shaft 4 brings fingers 17 under projecting pins 15 on the brackets 16 to which the gate is attached, and the gate is lifted away from the feed-roller. The pins 15 carry loose bell-crank levers 14, one arm of which has a screw 18 bearing against the feed-plate while the other arm carries one of the trunnions 13 of the gate. In addition to the gate being lifted by the fingers 17, the pins 5 may be depressed by the links 2 and the screws 8 lifted off the gate. The end of the screw 8 may be formed with a small friction bowl or ball free to rotate in any direction, and the springs and the different connexions between the levers, links, &c. may be adjustable.

Patent GB-191024256-A (GB)
Title: An Improved Process and Apparatus for the Continuous Manufacture of Hydrogen and Finely Divided Carbon (Soot) from Acetylene or a Mixture of Acetylene with other Hydrocarbons.
Inventor: PICTET RAOUL PIERRE
IPC: C01B3/24
Filed: 1910-10-19
Granted: 1911-07-20
Abstract: 24,256. Pictet, R. P. Oct. 2], 1909, [Convention date]. Carbon and hydrogen are obtained from acetylene, or a mixture of acetylene with hydrocarbons, such as benzine, petroleum, masut, &c., in the form of gas or vapour, by passing the gas or gases through a conduit heated to about 500‹ C., under a pressure slightly higher than atmospheric, the mixture being cooled in a further portion of the conduit, and its constituents being then separated. The vertical conduit a consists of a tubular body, and may be subdivided internally by a partition f of cruciform horizontal section. Pure acetylene, for example, passes in at the top e under constant pressure, and is preheated by means of a jacket c, through which are passed hot furnace gases &c., or combustible gases consumed in situ. With the commencement of the acetylene flow the external heating is stopped, the exothermic decomposition of the gas giving sufficient heat. Travelling down through the conduit a, the mixture of hydrogen and soot formed is cooled by means of a jacket d, through which is passed a regulated current of, preferably, water, or oils, the vapours of which may be mixed with the acetylene. Preferably, scraping-device is furnished to clear the walls of soot deposited thereon. The still hot mixture flows into a reservoir b on which the conduit a is mounted, for further cooling and for separation, suitable cooling-devices being preferably provided. The reservoir b is subdivided by perforated partitions h of graduated mesh, the last partition advantageously consisting of close-meshed fabric. Hydrogen is thus discharged pure at the exit i. A shaking-device k continuously clears the soot from the partitions h. In a modification, Fig. 3, the mixture of hydrogen and soot flows from the conduit a into a reservoir l, into which also water, or an oil such as petroleum, benzine, masut, or an oil suitable for mixing with the soot to form a product for subsequent utilization, say, printing- ink, is simultaneously sprayed, in excess, from a pipe s. The soot and liquid may be subsequently separated or further treated. A curved overflow pipe m is so arranged at the bottom of the reservoir l that air cannot enter, while both the hydrogen and oil continually escape.

Abstract: 5217. Sterling Telephone and Electric Co., [Schaffler & Co.]. March 1. [Addition to 12,145/11.] Magnetos, driving.- In a mine-exploder in which, as in the machine described in the parent Specification, the spring can only be released when fully wound, the release is effected manually instead of automatically. The driving-spring f is contained within a toothed wheel d, driven from a normally-rotated spindle k, and gearing with a pinion c on the armature shaft. Stops g, i, which may be resilient, limit motion in both directions, and prevent complete unwinding of the spring. Ratchet teeth l are engaged by a spring-pressed pawl n, mounted loosely on a spindle o and having shoulders n<1>, n<2>, either of which may be engaged by a projection s on an arm r fixed to the spindle o. The arm r normally rests on a smooth portion m of the wheel d and hence cannot be rotated, but on the wheel being turned to the fully-wound position, a recess u arrives opposite the arm r and allows the spindle o to be rotated by a key against the action of a spring t so that the projection s encounters the shoulder n<2>, thus removing the pawl n from the teeth l and releasing the spring. The arm r passes completely through the recess u so that it bears against the smooth portion m while the spring unwinds, and can only return to its normal position when the recess u is again brought opposite, that is after approximately a complete revolution. The whole is enclosed in a casing from which only the spindles k, o project.

Granted: 1913-07-31
Abstract: 17,749. Haddan, R., [Cleveland Welding and Manufacturing Co.]. July 31. W e l d i n g ; drawing- dies.-In electric lapwelding, particularly in making tubes, the edges are subjected by the electrodes to a force across the line of weld at the heating-point so as to prevent the edges from springing apart. By this means also, scale is removed or prevented from forming at the joint. In a machine shown in Fig. 1, a pair of bevelled roll electrodes 35, 36, which are connected to a transformer secondary 18 by bars 8, 9, are rotatably mounted in a pair of forked hangers 27, 28, the stems 29, 30 of which are clamped in twopart bearings 24, 25 in which they are adjusted so that the angularity of the revoluble rolls with respect to each other and also to the travel of the work 54 may be adjusted so as to produce a force across the line of weld to press the edges of the work laterally in opposite directions, and also to remove or prevent formation of scale. The upper roll bearings are carried by a slide which is pressed down by a lever 24<c> through toggle-levers 24<b>. The slide may be actuated by a weight. The edges 55, 56 of the work are brought into contact and maintained in proper working relation by a pair of dies 42, 43 fixed to the bars 8, 9, as described in Specification 29,999/12. The dies are inclined to each other so as to converge at their forward end, and are provided with grooves 50, 51 to guide the edges 55, 56 of the work. The upper wall of the groove 50, Fig. 4, is inclined so that the work may be laterally adjusted to a small extent by the operator. The lower walls of the grooves are cut away at the forward end as shown at 50<a> 51<a> in Fig. 5, so that the edges of the work may come into contact before reaching the welding-point. The work may be pulled through the dies by a pair of clamps, the traverse of the work also rotating the rolls. The force across the line of weld may be produced by non-rotating electrodes inclined transversely to the line of travel of the work and pressed against the work by springs or weights. In another form, one of the rolls may be revoluble and the other stationary.
