Title: Improvements in Process of and Apparatus for Distilling Petroleum and other Hydrocarbon Oil.
Inventor: TURNER CHARLES WORTH
IPC: C10G7/00
Filed: 1912-11-11
Granted: 1913-11-06
Abstract: 25,832. Turner, C. W. Nov. 11. Hydrocarbon oils, cracking.-Oils are distilled and cracked by forcing them together with water under pressure through heated coils, combining the resulting vapours, subjecting the mixture under pressure to a decomposing temperature and then admitting the products into vessels of larger diameter in order to cause the earthy matters, asphalt, paraffin, naphthalene, and other tarry and carbonaceous matters to be deposited. The products are afterwards passed through a series of condensers in which lubricating-oils, illuminating-oils, benzine, gasoline, &c. are successively collected. The apparatus comprises columns 1, 2 containing a number of coils of pipe heated by burners 41, 41<a>, and a number of separating or depositing drums. Oil is supplied to a preheating and settling drum 4, and flows thence to a vaporizing-coil 5 leading to a pipe 16 where the oil vapours mix with steam from a steam-generating coil 3. The mixed vapours pass through a heated coil 6, separating-drum 29, coil 7, drum 43, coil 46, drum 48, coil 46<a>, drum 50, coil 53, and thence to the condensers. A part of the vapours is led by a pipe 52 to the burners 41, 41<a>. The temperature in the coils 6, 7 may range from 400 to 800‹ F., and in the coils 46, 46<a>, 53 from 1000 to 1400‹ F. The pressure in the supply tanks is about 100 lb. per sq. in., and in the coils 6, 7 about 60 lb. per sq. in. Each condensing-tank is in communication with a coil in which the products are cooled. It is stated that in the coils 7, 46, 46<a>, 53 the steam is decomposed, yielding, by interaction with the oil vapours, carbon dioxide and hydrogenated hydrocarbons of low gravity. Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specification 27,615/12.

Filed: 1913-01-22
Granted: 1914-01-22
Abstract: 1760. Brown, L., and Mackintosh & Co., C. Jan. 22. Disk wheels are made with spokes comprising two parts c, c of channel or T-section, which are bent apart between the hub and the rim, where they are further bent parallel to the circumference of the wheel. The parts of the spokes are welded together near the point at which they separate, and the flanges or webs of the spokes at the centre of the wheel and their circumferential ends are welded together. The gaps between the bent portions of the spokes are bridged by lengths of iron or steel of flat, channel, or T-section, so as to form a continuous rim, which may serve as, or hold, the rim proper. The parts of the spokes may be riveted together as shown. The wheel is consolidated by disks j riveted or welded to the spokes and fitting on the hub centre, axletube, or the like. In the case of spokes formed of T-iron or steel, the disks have parts k fitting over the base webs e of the two parts. In a modification, instead of using the disk j, the inner ends of the parts of the spokes are bent and welded together to form the hub centre. The wheel is strengthened laterally by keys q, Fig. 1a, between the parts of the spokes, or by forming the parts with interengaging tongues and grooves.
