Filed: 1942-05-30
Abstract: 554,884. Cutting-machines. GREENGATE & IRWELL RUBBER CO., Ltd., and SMITH J. J. May 30, 1942, No. 7355. [Class 31 (i)] A cutting-machine which is especially applicable for removing the marginal strip of one or more of the plies of a multiply fabric to facilitate joining two fabrics together by an overlap joint comprises a table a fitted with an adjustable marginal guide b for controlling the width of the cut strip, and the cutting-knife u is mounted in a holder s which can be set above the table a at a distance equal to the thickness of the multi-ply fabric, the knife edge u<SP>1</SP> of the knife u being set to the thickness of the ply. The cutter holder is mounted in a head g in which a swivelled frame k can be set at a variable angle determined by a plunger q engaging one of a series of holes in the head g. The frame k carries a slide m adjustable by means of a micrometer screw n, and an eccentric x mounted in the slide m enables the extent to which the knife projects beyond the holder s to be varied, which extent is indicated by scales 2, 3. A screw 4 locks the holders in position. The cut strip is removed by the aid of a solvent applied before or after the ply is cut.

IPC: F02C7/18
Filed: 1922-03-15
Abstract: 196,452. Hepburn, H. A. March 15, 1922. Working-fluid supply.-In an internal combustion product turbine of the kind described in Specification 182,893 the operating gas passes through a set of rotor blades and then through a further set of blades, through which also at different sectors thereof induced gas passes, the two gases combining in the exhaust to be dealt with as described in Specification 182,893. The operating gas passes from a combustion chamber 1, Fig. 2, through ejector nozzles 2, rotor blades 4, passages 5, guide blades 6, rotor blades 7 to exhaust. A connection 12 from the vacuum space 3 of the ejector nozzles 2 to the exhaust ensures low pressure at the exhaust. The induced gas enters through nozzle boxes 16, Fig. 1, intermediate between the connections 5 as shown in Fig. 3, and passes through rotor blades 7 to the exhaust. The velocities of the induced and operating gas are arranged to be approximately equal when they enter the blades 7 and when they mix in the exhaust. Fixed guide blades may be provided at the entrance to the connecting passages 5. Steam may be used instead of or in addition to the operating gas. The clearance spaces between the nozzle boxes 16 and the recesses in the turbine casing in which they are located may be flushed out with cold, air or filled with any desired substance.

Abstract: 1,182,194. Gas turbine plant; power plant. FOSTER WHEELER CORP. Feb. 17, 1967 [Feb.18, 1966], No.7793/67. Headings F1G and F1Q. A gas turbine unit comprises combustion equipment for burning a fuel and air mixture to provide a supply of hot gases which are directed on to the turbine, there being means for generating steam by passing water in indirect heat exchange with the hot combustion gases in the combustion equipment, means whereby the heated water is flashed off to steam and further means for injecting the steam into the hot gases of the combustion equipment so as to provide increased turbine output during peak loads, the combustion equipment being arranged to burn additional fuel at peak loads so as to maintain the supply of steam. In the embodiment shown air under pressure supplied by the compressor 28 passes through line 32 to the combustion section of a steam generator 12, also through line 38 to the combustion equipment 36. The combustion gases from the combustion section of steam generator 12 discharge through duct 34 to the combustion equipment 36 to which air under pressure supplied through line 38 and fuel supplied through line 40 are also supplied, the resulting combustion gases passing through duct 42 to the two gas turbines 30 which drive the compressor 28 also an electric generator 44. The exhaust gases from the turbines discharge through duct 46 and thence through stack 48. Water supplied under high-pressure (say 2000 1b per square inch) by pump 52 passes through heat exchanger 54 where it is heated by turbine exhaust gases, then through heat exchanger 56 forming part of the wall of combustion equipment 36, the heated water then passing into the flash tank 58 which is at a pressure of say 200 1b per square inch, the resulting steam passing to line 69 and the water passing back to the inlet of pump 52. In normal operation the steam in line 69 passes for auxiliary purposes but for peak load operation the steam passes through line 62 and is injected through nozzle 66 into the hot combustion gases discharging through line 34 from the combustion section of the steam generator 12 to the combustion equipment 36. The steam generated in the steam generator 12 passes to a steam turbine 16 which drives an electric generator 18.

Abstract: Cyclopentanophenanthrene compounds of the general formula <FORM:0883317/IV (b)/1> wherein both Y and Y1 represent hydrogen or an acyl radical of a hydrocarbon carboxylic acid of less than 10 carbon atoms are prepared by treating the corresponding 11b -hydroxy compounds in which both Y and Y1 represent the acyl radical with a hexavalent chromium oxidising agent, e.g. chromic acid, to obtain compounds of the above formula in which Y and Y1 represent the acyl radical and, if desired, hydrolysing these compounds to form compounds in which Y and Y1 represent hydrogen, e.g. with potassium carbonate in methanol.  The above process may be modified in that following the hydrolysis step, the product may be acylated with one equivalent of acylating agent to form a compound in which Y is the acyl radical and Y1 is hydrogen, or with two or more equivalents of acylating agent to form a compound in which both Y and Y1 represent the acyl radical.  The acyl radicals may be derived from an alkanoic, monocyclic aryl, monocyclic aryl-alkanoic, alkenoic, cycloalkane carboxylic or cycloalkenecarboxylic acid.  In the examples 9a -fluoro-16a -hydroxy-1-dehydrocortisone and the 16a ,21-diacetate and 21-propionate thereof are prepared.

Abstract: <PICT:1036524/C6-C7/1> <PICT:1036524/C6-C7/2> A vacuum drying apparatus or unit for hides and skins 16, Fig. 1, comprises a heating table 10 with heat lagging 11 on its upper surface removably mounted by a sealing strip 13 on the open top of an inverted suction hood 12 of deformable sheet material connected through a line 14 with a vacuum source. The hide is supported on a compressible porous element 17,e.g. of felt, which in turn is supported on a perforated metal sheet 18 above a metallic pressure-transmitting structure 19. Upward deformation of the hood 12 on application of suction acts through the supporting elements to apply the hide upwardly against the lower heating surface of the table. Moisture removed from the hide by heat, compression, and vacuum is withdrawn through the line 14. In a modification, Fig. 2 (not shown) the suction hood 12 is arranged for horizontal displacement. In a commercial drying plant, Figs. 3, 4 and 8 (not shown) a large diameter turntable has thereabout eight of the said drying units. Heating tables are described with either U-shaped tubes or a plurality of sections for the passage of heating fluid. In the apparatus of Fig.6 (not shown) the heating table 10 is fixed and the hood 12 is of metal and is vertically movable in a framework by ram activators for loading and unloading of hide carriers comprising the felt 17 and sheet 18 which are horizontally movable on a peripheral frame over horizontal runways. The line 14 may be connected to a condenser and separator tank. In a variety of embodiments and in Figs. 12 and 13 (not shown) the deformable hood 12 comprises a flat metal sheet peripherally secured to an outer frame. Means for separating the dried skin from the heating table comprise apertures at the edges of the table through which jets of air are downwardly directed. Alternatively, a fine wire may be stretched transversely of the table between a pair of drivers endless chains. The heating table 401, Fig. 22, has a lower surface 402 covered with a protective coating 403. A frame 404 is movable horizontally on rollers 405 for charging and discharging hides and skins. The frame is peripherally bonded to a flexible hood 409. A rigid metal sheet 409a is secured to the frame to prevent sagging of the hood. The frame 404 also supports the pressure-transmitting and hide-supporting structure 415 made of wire mesh elements. The effluent moisture is discharged into a tank 411 in a central opening of the hood 409 and suction is applied through a separate vacuum connection 419. In a modification, Fig. 24 (not shown) differential pressures in the spaces between the hood and sheet 409a and in the hood, respectively, may be achieved by using two suction conduits. In another construction, the head is connected through apertures in the heating table, to an upper source of vacuum.
