Title: Improvements in or relating to oil heating stoves
IPC: F24C5/06
Filed: 1921-12-05
Abstract: 191,915. Blackford, A. J. Dec. 5, 1921. Wick burners, annular.-In a heating stove of the type in which the burner is surmounted by a swinging heating-drum, the heating-drum carries a " floating " air-controlling cone having sufficient movement independent of the drum to allow it to be positioned automatically in reference to the wick when the drum is swung over the burner. The heating drum 8 is hinged at 9 to a perforated reservoir-housing 6 and carries at its lower end a downwardly inclined flange or drum ring 10. The air-controlling cone 11 is carried loosely by the drum-ring 10. When the drum is swung over the burner, the cone 11 is correctly positioned and supported by the engagement of its lower end 12 with a perforated upstanding flange 5 on the oil reservoir 1. The upper end of the cone is provided with an air deflector 15 directing outwardly, the air passing up between the cone and the drum-ring.

Abstract: 1358298 Coating apparatus for webs EASTMAN KODAK CO 15 July 1971 [16 July 1970] 33198/71 Heading D1L A moving web is coated and overcoated by applying to the surface of a web a liquid composition, smoothing the applied coating by moving the coated web past the end of a flexible, trailing stationary blade which may have the other end fixed to a hopper, continuously metering a quantity of the same or a different composition as a layer onto the upper-most surface of the blade at a point spaced above the flexible end, allowing the layer to flow down the blade onto the coated web to form a coating thereon and curing the applied coatings simultaneously. The second coating is preferably applied to the blade from a cavity in the hopper via a discharge slot connecting the cavity with the upper-most surface of the blade. The Figure shows a two layer coater utilizing a single hopper for both coatings. A trailing blade 13 with flexible end, clamped between two sections 16 and 17 of the hopper is in engagement with the surface of web W or the coating applied thereto carried by rotating roller 10. The hopper section 17 contains a cavity 18 from which the coating composition fed into cavity 18 via inlet 19, is discharged through slot 20 as a flowable layer L along the underside of the blade to form a bead 21 extending completely across the deflected end 12 of the blade and between it and web W, and forming on the moving web a smooth first coating. The overcoating is applied from hopper section 16 via cavity 22 and downwardly inclined elongated slot 24 formed between the faces of hopper sections 16 and 23, to a point on the uppermost surface of the blade 13, as a ribbon which flows by gravity to form the layer L 1  which overcoats the first layer. In another embodiment, not shown, the first coating is applied to the web by a device separate and distinct from the hopper whilst in a further embodiment not shown, three coatings are applied to the web, one from a separate device and two from the hopper. The end of the blade may be knife-edged, rounded, or a compromise between rounded and knife-edged. The web is preferably raw paper, precoated baryta paper or polyethylene coated paper.

Abstract: 826,806. Window operating mechanism. ANDERSON CO. Oct. 24, 1957 [Dec. 26, 1956], No. 33218/57. Class 20(3) In a window regulating mechanism for a vehicle having a window panel 16 movable between raised and lowered positions, rollers 36, 38, mounted respectively at the front and rear ends of a support member 40 attached to the lower rail of a frame 18 of the window panel 16, engage corresponding curved guideways 20, 22 supported on the inner face of an inner panel 15 of a rear door which is hinged at 9 to a centre pillar 7 terminating at the belt line of the vehicle which is e.g. of the four-door hard top type. A pivot pin 46 on a plate 42 is secured to the member 40 at a point A which, as the window panel is raised or lowered, travels practically in a straight line B, the actual path being a shallow sine curve C so that, during, e.g. the lowering of the window from the fully closed position shown in Fig. 1, the front lower edge of the panel 16 moves rearwardly and downwardly to a point E<SP>1</SP> while the rear lower edge drops to a position E<SP>11</SP> and then to points F<SP>1</SP>, F" respectively in which position the panel 16 is housed wholly within the door. Mechanism for operating the window panel 16 comprises an electric motor 54 which is mounted on a bracket 52 secured to the inner face of the inner panel 15 and carries, on its drive shaft, a pulley 56 which engages a belt 58 driving a pulley 60. The latter is keyed to a screw-thread or worm type driving shaft 62 rotatably supported at its lower end in a bearing 64 on an extension 65 of the support bracket 52, the upper end of the shaft 62 being received in a bearing 66 carried by a bracket 68 fixed to the inside face of the inner panel 15. A nut 71, co-operating with the shaft 62, is carried by a plate 76 which supports, through the intermediary of shock absorbers 75, carrier arms 72 for a channel member 78 of " C " section which slidingly accommodates a block 80 made, e.g. of nylon, the pivot pin 46, extending through the open portion of the channel member 78, being pivoted to the mid-portion of the block 80. As the nut 71 is driven up and down along the axis B, the block 80 slides in the channel member 78, the pin 46 following the sine curve C. Stops mounted on the bracket 68 and the extension 65 of the bracket 52, prevent overrun of the nut 71 the belt 58 being made, e.g. of rubber to dissipate any shock due to a sudden arrest of the window panel 16 as it encounters a stop member. Specification 774,216 is referred to.

Title: Improvements in desulphurisation of gases
IPC: C10K1/30
Filed: 1930-11-05
Abstract: The recovery of sulphur from gases containing sulphuretted hydrogen in excess of 7 grams of sulphur per cubic metre by catalytic oxidation by active carbon is effected by so treating the gases prior to the catalysis that the sulphur content is reduced below the limit referred to.  This may be effected (1) by diluting the gas to be treated with gases free from or low in sulphur, or (2) by carrying out the oxidation in stages, the necessary amount of air being added before each stage. Alternatively, all the oxygen required may be added in one stage, the gas being cooled and moistened between each stage.  In the first instance, the desulphurized gas is preferably used as the diluent, or industrial waste gases, hydrogen, nitrogen, or carbon dioxide may be employed.  Oxidation in either case may be facilitated by the addition of basic substances, such as ammonia, ammonium carbonate, or sodium bicarbonate, to the gas or the catalyst.  Injurious ingredients in the gas to be treated, such as benzene hydrocarbons, are removed by absorption in sulphuric acid &c. In an example, waste cracking gases containing 25 grams of sulphur per cubic metre are diluted with hydrogen or nitrogen, the requisite amount of air and 0,1 gram of ammonia per cubic metre are added.  The issuing gases are afterwards used as the diluent.  In a second example, cracking gases are treated in two stages, cooling being effected after the first stage with addition of ammonia and further air.
