Title: Method of making steel
IPC: C21C5/04
Filed: 1939-07-06
Abstract: 533,911. Open-hearth furnaces. TRIGGS, W. W. (Emulsions Process Corporation). July 6, 1939. No. 19681. [A Specification was laid open to inspection under Sect. 91 of the Acts, April 29, 1940]. [Class 51 (i)] [Also in Group II] Molten high carbon iron is converted to steel by injecting on to the top of a pool of the iron 'an atomized stream of water in the presence of an atomized fuel so as to cause a turbulence of the upper portion of the pool while forming ferric oxide and reducing the carbon, undue chilling of the iron being prevented by bringing fuel in close to the point at which the stream contacts with the pool. The process may be carried out in an open hearth furnace, and the water and fuel are fused in the form of an emulsion in which the water content is over 5 per cent. and up to 35 per cent. In carrying out the process scrap steel is first melted with or without lime, cold iron introduced and melted or molten pig iron added before the emulsion is introduced. Alternatively the hearth of the furnace may be lined with ferric scrap metal and a slag-producing agent, and then a charge of hot iron is poured in prior to the introduction of the emulsion. The charge 35 to be treated is contained in the hearth 35 of a furnace which is heated by burners 39 through which are also introduced the jets of atomized fuel oil and water with or without or the emulsion of water and oil alternating through the openings in the opposite ends of the furnace. When using the emulsion, the latter is fed to the burners from an emulsifying mill by valved pipes 40 and steam is fed into the mixing chambers of the burners by pipes 42. Roof burners 44 extending through openings 49 in the roof of the furnace are also provided, and are supplied from the pipes 41, 42. The emulsifying mill used may be that described in U.S.A. Specification 2,059,535 and the proportioning pump which controls the proportions of oil and water supplied to the emulsifying mill may be that described in U.S.A. Specification 1,289,716.

Filed: 1931-07-13
Abstract: 365,980. Thread-guiding and tensioning regulators. JABOULAY, H., 10, Rue de l'Arbre Sec, Lyons, France. July 13, 1931, No. 20098. Convention date, July 16, 1930. [Class 120 (ii).] A thread-guide and tension regulator for textile machines comprises a stationary threadguide which acts as a friction brake for the thread, and two operatively connected movable thread-guides in series, one of which movable guides is adapted to hold a loop of thread coming from and returning to the stationary guide, with means connecting said movable guides whereby they are moved by excessive thread tension to shorten the path followed by the thread and to disengage the thread from the stationary guide. The thread from the bobbin L passes round the stationary pulleyshaped thread-guide A, which acts as a friction brake for the thread, to the movable guide C, back round the stationary guide A to the second movable guide E. The guide E is attached to one end of a spring loaded arm F, and by means of gears D, B moves a pivoted arm carrying the guide C. When the tension in the thread increases, the guide E is drawn down against the tension of the spring G, and the thread-guide C is rotated so as to shorten the path followed by the thread on the braking device A, and ultimately to disengage the thread from the guide A altogether. A stop, or electric contact I for stopping the machine may be provided. The strength of the spring G is adjustable by engaging its ends in different loops Fl, H<1>.

Abstract: 932,486. Fishing reels. S. ALLCOCK & CO. Ltd. Jan. 29, 1962 [June 3, 1961], No. 20117/61. Class 48. In a fishing reel of the stationary spool type a rotatable flyer drum 34 has a radial peg 36 engaging the line 12 for winding which is retractable on operation of a trigger 31 for casting. The trigger pivots on a cylindrical nut 32 in the reel casing and is generally parallel to a reel stem 29 and extends towards a foot 30. The trigger acts on a spring-loaded spindle 17 to move the drum 34 away from the spool 11 which is mounted on a boss 40 of a circular plate 10 and held stationary by a variable friction device 28. The movement of the drum 34 allows a spring-loaded slide 37 supporting the peg 36 and attached to the drum 34 to move radially inwardly of the drum off the end of the boss 40. With the trigger in the operated position the line is clamped between the drum 34 and a housing 13 and on release of the trigger the drum moves towards the spool 11 and the slide remains retracted and positioned between the drum and the end of the boss 40. To extend the slide and peg the reel handle 25 is rotated causing, through gears 21 and 23, the drum and slide 37 to rotate so that a cam surface 41 on the end of boss 40 forces the slide to a position resting on boss 40 and the spindle spring 22 returns the drum 34 to a position against the boss. The gear-wheel 21 is slidably mounted on a square section portion of spindle 17 and is forced against the plate 10 by the spring 22. A pawl and ratchet mechanism (not shown) is provided for the winding gear.

Title: Improved pressure overload protector for pressure responsive devices
IPC: G01L19/06
Filed: 1950-08-16
Abstract: 693,117. Pressure gauges. NEGRETTI & ZAMBRA Ltd., and IBBOTT, H. W. Aug. 16, 1951 [Aug. 16. 1950], No. 20364/50. Class 106 (ii). [Also in Group XXIX.] A device for automatically limiting the magnitude of the pressure differential transmitted to the differential fluidpressure responsive member of a measuring instrument comprises valve means interposed in the transmission line between the member and a pressure source and operated by a diaphragm exposed to the differential pressure in question so as to interrupt the fluid supply apart from a small leakage when the differential pressure exceeds a predetermined amount, the diaphragm being adapted to relieve or nullify excess differential pressure which has passed the valve means. The device is equally applicable to negative pressures. One of the supplied pressures may be invariable or substantially so, e.g. atmospheric pressure. As shown, the differential responsive member comprises a diaphragm 2 operating an indicator 5 over a scale 7. Opposite sides of the diaphragm are connected through tubes 3, 4 with a valve chamber 8 connected by inlets 15, 16 to the differential pressure to be measured. The chamber 8 is divided by a diaphragm 11 carrying centrally a valve plate 12 with apertures 13, 14. The inlets 15, 16 are fitted with ported seat members 17, 18 with which co-operate double cone valves 21, 22 and 23, 24 having valve stems 25, 26 respectively. The stems 25, 26 carry further valves normally closing the ports 13, 14 under the influence of springs 19, 20. On an excessive pressure differential occurring, pressure on the diaphragm 11 causes one of the valves 21, or 23, to close under its spring. A sudden surge of pressure or leakage past the closed inlet valve 21 or 23 causes the diaphragm 11 to leave the valve 27 or 28 and so relieve or nullify the pressure differential through the port 13 or 14. The movement of the diaphragm 11 may be sufficient even to close the valve 24 or 22. Should the inlet valves stick on their seats, they are released on resumption of a pressure differential in the normal range of the instrument by a prising member with arms 29, 30. Each inlet valve-may have a by-pass formed as an aperture 31, or 32 or as a notch in the valve seat. The purpose of the by-passes is to ensure that the chambers 9, 10 are never completely isolated from the inlets 15, 16 so that the true differential pressure is indicated.
