Granted: 1910-06-23
Abstract: 3583. Conekin, D. Feb. 14. Movable - abutment type; packing drums, vanes, &c.-Relates to a reversible rotary engine comprising two intermeshing rotors which contact with a limited packed portion of the casing. Motive fluid from an inlet pipe 14 is directed by a passage tangentially on to the toothed rotors 9 which are arranged to contact with the casing at the packing-plates 11. These plates are provided with a number of perforations 13 to enable the fluid to pass behind them and press them against the teeth of the rotors. An exhaust passage and pipe 15 are provided, these conduits being employed for admission when reversing the engine. The rotors are fitted with spring-pressed packing- rings 17 provided with radial extensions 21.

Granted: 1910-12-15
Abstract: 6035. Petersson, A. June 2, 1909, [Convention date]. Electrode fur naces in which the charge forms a heating-resistance. To prevent arcs forming at the upper electrode or electrodes through the sinking of fused materials, the charge is fed at the top and forced by mechanical means against these electrodes. As shown in Fig. 4, hinged plates 7 in the side walls force material against a central upper electrode 2; in modifications plungers act similarly through holes in the side walls, or the charge is fed from side hoppers by screws or rams. As shown in Fig. 5, the upper part 8 of the casing revolves, and forces the charge inwards by cam projections 9, while in another modification shown in Fig. 7, several upper electrodes 13 are at the sides and a central revolving cam 15 forces material outwards against them.

Filed: 1910-06-14
Granted: 1911-06-01
Abstract: 14,407. Deziel, J. H. June 14. Lasting.-A bed lasting-machine comprises a main frame 1, Fig. 2, having a fixed support 50 for the toe-lasting mechanism, and a slidable carriage 70 which supports a toe post 94, a heel post 94x, and the heel-lasting mechanism. The posts 94, 94x are vertically adjustable, and are mounted respectively in slidable blocks 89, 90, which can be moved by screws 91 along the carriage 70. The toe-lasting mechanism comprises a pair of pivoted wiper plates 16, Figs. 1 and 2, mounted so that they can be reversed in a chamber 29, which is closed by a hinged plate 23. The plates are connected to vertical pins 14 at the front ends of levers 13, pivoted to a sliding block 9 mounted in a chamber 5, which is closed by a cover 7. The block 9 is actuated by a hand-lever 30, and is locked in its adjusted position by a pawl and ratchet 6, 11; the wipers are caused to move forwards and close inwards by pins and slots 14, 15, 21, 22<a>; the chamber 5 has a bottom rib 34 trunnioned on screws 36 threaded in lugs 37 in a slide 39, which is movable in a frame 40 by means of a screw 43; jack screws 41 are provided between the chamber and the slide 39 to enable the chamber to be tilted laterally. The frame 40 normally rests on a plate 48, but can be lifted by depressing a spring-controlled double treadle 59, 60, which is connected to the frame by a rack 57, a pair of two-part adjustable links 56, and bell-cranks 54, 55 pivoted to lugs 52 projecting from the frame through the plate 48; a spring-pressed pawl 63 engages the rack 57 and locks it in its adjusted position. The plate 48 may be tilted longitudinally of the last by means of a screw &c. 64; the heel-lasting mechanism is substantially similar in construction to the toe-lasting mechanism, except that the frame 40 is pivoted directly to a support 50x on the carriage 70. Between the rib 34 and the chamber 5, however, is a chamber 72, Figs. 2 and 9, in which is located the heel-band mechanism. This consists of a pair of pivoted links 75 carrying pivoted clamping-blocks 77 for the heel band 78, the rear ends of the links being connected by links 82 to a slide 80, which is actuated yieldingly by a screw &c. 84. The machine is also fitted with a hold-down, comprising a pair of pivoted hook levers 119, Figs. 2 and 5, pivotally supported by a spring-pressed foot-lever 111, which is pivoted to a post 113 on the machine frame 1. The hook levers are normally closed together by a spring 115, but, when the treadle is lowered, they are spread by the engagement of depending fingers 116 with cam-faces 117 on a block 118 carried by the carriage 70. In a modified construction, the hold-down comprises a single last-engaging member, which is lowered on to the last when the treadle is depressed, and swings upwards and onwards when the treadle is released.

Inventor: PAULING HARRY
IPC: B01D53/26
Filed: 1911-04-05
Granted: 1912-02-01
Abstract: 8533. Pauling, H. April 5. Acids, concentrating and distilling.-Nitric acid and like vapours are dried on the counter-current principle, the sulphuric acid or other desiccant employed being heated preliminarily to at least the temperature of the outflowing vapours, and being cooled during the drying process so that its temperature is at no stage much higher than that of the vapours in contact with it. The heat derived from the cooling desiccant may be employed in vaporizing the nitric acid.
