Abstract: 18,710. Wassermann, B. Aug. 15, 1908, [Convention date]. Aerostats; steering.-The buoyancy of dirigible balloons is regulatably increased for steering purposes by passing air, heated either by means of the motor cooler or by the exhaust gases of the motor, or by both these means, into ballonets or heating- channels in the balloon. As shown in Fig. 3, the cooler d of the water-cooler of the motor is mounted above the car and below the balloon, and at the rear is placed the usual centrifugal fan h in a casing i connected to a large tube f open at the rear end. The air drawn through the cooler d, when the valve g is closed, passes through the pipe o and enters either a ballonet or a branched conduit in the balloon. The valve g is connected to a cord q which also governs a valve p in the pipe o. When the cord q is released, the pipe o is closed, and the pipe f is opened, the heated air in this case escaping into the atmosphere. The pipe w, which conveys away the exhaust gases from the motor, is surrounded by a jacket y open at the front end, and at the rear end connected by piping to the pipe o. The air heated by the exhaust gases is drawn into the balloon by means of the fan h. The Specification in the original form, as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a), states that the air may be heated electrically. This subjectmatter does not appear in the Complete Specification as accepted.

Abstract: 12,736. Guillaume, E. May 26, 1909, [Converation date]. Alcoholic liquids, distilling - Relates to distilling and rectifying apparatus in which the rectifying-column C, Fig. 2, is heated in the manner described in Specification 10,929/03, namely by means of a heat-exchanger B, to which are led the vapours from the wash-still A, and consists primarily in leading away the condensed and uncondensed portions of these vapours by means of separate pipes 2, 3, and in regulating the heating of the rectifier by fitting a by-pass and regulating- cocks 4, 5, in such a manner that a portion of the vapours may be deviated from the whole or a part of the heat-exchanger. The invention may be applied to a continuous plant such as that shown in Fig. 2, or to plant in which the distillation of the wash and low wines are separated, the uncondensed and condensed vapours from the heat-exchanger being in this case led to a refrigerator. In the continuous plant, the condensed and uncondensed vapours enter a purifying-column D; the resulting phlegms are led by a pipe 6 to a concentrating-column E ; the vapours generated in the column E pass through an intermediate concentrating-column E<1>, and thence by a pipe 7 to the rectifier C, and at the same time a reflux from the base of the rectifier C flows through a pipe 9 to the top of the column E'. The column C may be furnished with a number of plates below the point of entry of the pipe 7, an additional reflux being provided from the plate above the pipe 7 to the top of the column E', the reflux by the pipe 9 in this case entering the lower portion of the column E' in the neighbourhood of the tail products extraction 10. A portion of the vapours may be taken off from the heat-exchanger B to heat the final purifying-columns, where these are employed, as in the apparatus described in Specification 8848/07. The heat-exchanger may take a cylindrical form, as shown in Fig. 4, in which the vapours traverse a zigzag path, the liquid resulting from their condensation being led by pipes 2<1>, 2<2>, 2<3>, to a plate in the purifying-column D above the inlet for the uncondensed vapours.

Granted: 1911-09-14
Abstract: 25,786. Ward, J., and Ward Bros. Nov. 7. Dobbies.-In a cross-border dobby, the two pattern cylinders 3, 4, Fig. 2, are carried in bearings in the dobby side-frames, and are each provided with a small ratchet - wheel 3<A>, 4<A>, Fig. 1, and a larger ratchet-wheel 3B, 4B operated by pawls 5, 6, 7, 8, on the usual rocking levers 9, 10. A double-armed lever 14 connected to a lever 15 controlled by the usual measuring - cylinder 17 and its lag - chain 16 raises either the pawl 5 or the pawl 7 out of action by acting on pins 5<A>, 7<A>, according to whether a peg or a blank is in position beneath the lever 15. If the pawl 5 is raised out of action, the cylinder 3 is turned by the pawl 6 but only through half the distance between the successive lags on the cylinder 3, so that the lags are brought to an intermediate position wherein they are ineffective on the usual feelers 1, which are specially shaped for this purpose. During its subsequent movements, the pawl 6 rides idly over a tooth of the ratchet-wheel 3<B>, so that the cylinder 3 is not rotated further and the lags thereon remain in inoperative position. The cylinder 4 is, however, rotated by means of the pawl 7 and ratchet-wheel 4<A>, at first half the distance betwen successive lags so as to place the cylinder 4 into operative position, and then afterwards the full distance between successive lags, so that these are successively brought into operative position beneath the feelers 2, which act on the feelers 1 and thus control the drawhooks. When the pawl 7 is raised out of action and the pawl 5 falls into action, the lags on the cylinder 4 become inoperative and those on the cylinder 3 operative. The cylinders 3, 4 are provided with brake-wheels having twice the usual number of sides or teeth, so that they may be braked with the lags in either their operative or inoperative position. The brakewheels are acted upon by brake levers coupled together by a spiral spring. The barrel 17 has a ratchet-wheel 17<A>, which is operated at every repeat by a pawl 20 on a lever 19 provided with a hook 18 controlled by the change-lags on the cylinders 3, 4. If desired, the parts 17, 15, 20, 19, 18 may be dispensed with, a handle being fixed to the lever 14 to work it by hand.
