Inventor: SCHERFENBERG REINHOLD
IPC: F27B9/24
Filed: 1911-11-15
Granted: 1912-06-06
Abstract: 25,443. Scherfenberg, R. Nov. 15. Roasting-furnaces.-To regulate the temperature of all the chambers in a multiple-floor oreroasting furnace and to avoid superheating in the upper floors, the whole or a portion of the sulphurous gases are conveyed direct from the single floors and the uppermost chamber where they are mixed, and hot air free from sulphur dioxide is introduced into the upper floors, or in some cases into all the floors. As shown in Fig. 1, the lower floors are connected to the uppermost chamber by valved conduits u, and hot air is introduced to the upper chambers from adjustable apertures r in the outer jacket of the rabble shaft, the air being heated by circulating through the rabble arms. Air is admitted to the lowest chamber through adjustable openings s. In a modification, each floor is supplied with air from the rabble shaft and is connected to the uppermost chamber by separate conduits, the two lowest floors having four and the remaining floors having eight conduits each. In the modification shown in Fig. 7, each floor is independently connected to the uppermost chamber and air from the rabble shaft passes to a conduit w and is delivered to the various chambers through passages x having external valves z and connected to annular delivery chambers y. Specifications 3985/83 and 22,504/91 are referred to.

Granted: 1912-06-27
Abstract: 3815. Farley, J. Feb. 15. Filter-beds; supplying liquid in connexion with filters.-In an arrangement for distributing sewage into a filter-bed or into land at a short distance below the surface, the liquid passes from a chamber or reservoir b<x> through pipes c having distributing-drains d with perforated sides placed longitudinally above them and connected to them by passages e. A partition b<1> normally retains the liquid in the chamber b<x> at such a level that the liquid is forced out of the drains d, excess liquid overflowing the partition into a chamber b<xx> and passing thence through a pipe i to other distributing-chambers. The opening of a valve h causes a fall in liquid-level in the chamber b<x> and stops discharge through the corresponding pipes c, which however remain full of liquid. Collecting-drains g are placed in the land or filter-bed at some distance from the pipes c. The drains d may be protected by shields of shingle or loose stones, and may be provided with sludge chambers at the ends.

Abstract: 13,212. Spink, W., and Baltz, J. M. June 5. R e e l i n g - machines; twisting-machines with twisting - arrangements at delivery; driving- arrangements; spindle apparatus. - Yarn is twisted as it is withdrawn from two rows of delivery spindles, driven by a horizontal sprocket chain 29, and is wound upon a reel which is driven through sprocket gearing synchronously with the delivery spindles. The machine is driven at two different speeds, the lower speed being used when winding from each end of the cop. The sprocket-chain 29 is driven from the main shaft 5 and drives spindles 35 carrying spiders 40, Fig. 6, in which cop spindles 41 are mounted. Gearwheels on the spindles 41 mesh with a stationary ring 43 so that the cops are rotated in a direction opposite to that of the flyers. The reel is driven through a clutch from a shaft 71, which is driven directly from the main shaft 5 for the fast speed, and through a short countershaft 15 for the slow speed. The clutch mechanism on the reel shaft is disconnected from the front of the machine by means of a bar running longitudinally thereof and a lever 65, so that the reel may be free for the removal of the hanks. The traverse bar is operated by a pitman 57 and a wrist-pin 56 on a pinion driven from the reel shaft.

Granted: 1913-07-03
Abstract: 15,554. Coyle, J. W. July 3. Paper bags, making.-In machines for making cartons, boxes, bags, &c. a blank is forced into a channel e, Fig. 1, by a plunger d and folded as shown in Fig. 7, a tilting platform h being provided, if desired. The front r is pasted at s by the flanges i<1> of rollers i carried by bellcrank levers j. The flanges i<1> engage grooves in rollers o, which are rotated in gum tanks q. As the plunger continues its movement, it contacts with a trip-lever k, and causes the rollers i to move inwards to fold the flap r as shown in Fig. 8. Adhesive is supplied to the bottom folds at s<1>, these folds are turned up by fixed fingers l, and a strip of adhesive is deposited on the flaps r<1>. A cam n then allows spring- actuated hinged flaps m to fold the flaps r<1>. Springs u prevent return of the completed box, springs v force its sides inwards to prevent the next box from being pushed into it, and the gum is dried by heated bars w. In a modification, the lever k is arranged at the side of the channel, and is actuated by a supplementary plunger. The invention may be applied to the machine described in Specification 7857/12.

Abstract: 25,883. Patton, A. M. Nov. 11. Hoods.-A link-and-lever system, which can be applied generally for raising and supporting collapsible structures, is shown in connexion with a vehicle hood. The lever b, pivoted on the pillar a, is connected to the cant-rail c, and by link e to the body d. The lever f is pivoted on the pillar a, and is limited as regards its upward movement by a stop h. Its outer end engages in a slot i in the cant-rail c. When the structure is raised, the cant-rail first moves into the position in which the end of the lever f engages the shoulder k, the pillar a being nearly vertical and the cant-rail extending in an inclined position from it. The weight of the cant-rail turning about the shoulder k then forces the parts into the final position. A spring l assists the raising of the cant-rail and also holds it down in the collapsed position.

Abstract: 11,831. Werner, C. May 21. Taximeters; flag and setting-spindle mechanism.-The setting-spindle a carries the flag shank g but cannot be turned by it. The flag shank is provided with a shaped slot h and a projection i which is received by a cut-out portion d of a disk b fixed to the setting-spindle. Pins c, c<1> on this disk enter the slot h and are connected by a spring n which bears against the lower boundary of the slot so as to tend to keep the flag shank seated on the spindle a. Rotation of the spindle by means of a hand wheel also turns the flag, but if the flag is moved independently, the shank pivots about one of the pins c, c<1> and the projection i engages a recess e in a fixed part f and thus prevents movement.
