Granted: 1913-10-02
Abstract: 7892. Dohet, E. April 3. Roasting - furnaces; charges, agitating.-In an ore-roasting furnace, the reciprocating rabbles d for stirring the charge and moving it along the hearths are withdrawn at the completion of a stroke into cooling-chambers q outside the furnace proper, but in communication therewith. The chambers q are formed in a metal casing p having passages r between the chambers for the circulation of air. The furnace shown has a number of superposed hearths, with drop openings alternately at the ends and the middle, and two sets of rabbles operating from the two ends of the furnace. The rabbles of each set are connected together by a framework j, and are operated simultaneously by screw gearing. The teeth of the rabbles are so shaped that the materials are moved along the hearth a shorter distance by the stroke in one direction than by that in the other.

Abstract: 21,125. Hussey, H. J., Hussey, H. H., and Ross, J. Oct. 17. Breech actions, drop-down barrel. - Relates to under-and-over guns having selective ejecting-mechanism of the roll-over hammer type, and also having the ejector hammer arranged to effect positive extraction every time the gun is opened. According to the present invention, the selective ejecting-mechanism comprises the combination of an ejector hammer, a cocking- lever engaging the firing-hammer and actuated by an abutment on the fore-part, and a member, forming part of, or connected to, the cocking-lever, so arranged that, when the gun is opened, it actuates the ejector hammer only when the corresponding firing - hammer has fallen. In the construction shown in Figs. 2 and 3, the ejector hammer b is, every time the gun is opened, turned by a projection on the action-body sufficiently to extract the cartridge but not sufficiently to move the hammer over the dead-centre. The additional turning movement to effect ejection is caused by the nose k<3> of a rocking slide k, shown detached in Fig. 13, which is pivoted by an inclined slot on a pin h<1> and is connected at its rear end to the cocking-lever h, so that when the rear end of the cocking-lever is depressed, as shown in Fig. 3, the member k is moved forwards. In this position, the nose k<3> is adapted to act on a lever f which engages a lateral projection b<6> on the ejector hammer. The extractors a<3>, Fig. 2, fit over locking-projections formed on the back of the barrels as described in Specification 21,126/14. The Provisional Specification also describes a device to prevent accidental ejection, comprising a spring-controlled block placed under the ejector spring and removed by the fall of the firing- hammer.

Abstract: 22,299. Koressios, T. N. C. Nov. 10. Fluids, regulating volume of flow or pressure of; rotary or oscillating disk valves.-Auxiliary air is admitted to the induction pipe of an internal-combustion engine by a valve so constructed that the air enters the induction pipe at a pressure equal to that of the mixture flowing therethrough. The valve comprises a rotary ported disk 22 pressed to its seat 23 by a spring 33 and actuated, in conjunction with the throttle valve of the carburettor, by the cable 30 passing around a groove at the back of the valve, which may alternatively be actuated by a handle 10, the pointed end 12 of which moves over graduations on the cover of the casing 11. The casing is divided by partitions 18, 19, 20 into compartments, to the upper of which air is admitted through holes 87. The air flow is obstructed and caused to take a tortuous path by gauze plates 17 and by metal clippings between the partitions 18, 19. A flap valve in the air-outlet nipple 14 actuated through an arm 58<a> and a washer 56 ou the cable after the valve 22 has been fully opened, serves to shut off the air supply at starting. A spring 65 returns the cable. The Provisional Specincation describes also a valve adapted to be actuated by the accelerator pedal and to be attached to the steering-column or dashboard of a vehicle, in which the outlet nipple 14 is placed in the lower cover of the casing.
