Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Burning Bricks.
Inventor: PACKHAM ERNEST
Filed: 1905-06-01
Granted: 1906-08-01
Abstract: 11,504. Packham, E., Ball, A. H., and Ball, F. L. June 1. Kilns.-A tunnel kiln for burning bricks is provided on each side with gas flues G<2> above which are arranged chambers H, H<1> filled with chequer brick over which the air supplied to the kiln is passed. With the reversing-valve J in the position shown, air enters at G', passes into the chamber H, and enters the kiln at M, where it mixes with gas from the flue G<2>. The course of the gases is shown by the arrows. The gases are withdrawn by a fan arranged at the end of the flue G. After a suitable time, the valve J is reversed and consequently the course of the gases, the bricks on the trucks B being thus burnt first on one side and then on the other. A central wall is arranged in the middle of the truck to prevent the flames from cutting through. Fire-brick may be employed where the fire strikes directly to prevent burning and running of the bricks. [Reference has been directed under Patents Act, 1902, to Specification No. 498, A.D. 1881.]

Abstract: 1442. Caldwell & Co., and Bruce, R. Jan. 19. Forced-draught furnaces ; emission of flames, preventing. -Relates to means for preventing the opening of the firedoors until the airsupply regulating- valves have been closed, and the reopening of the valves while the door remains open. As shown applied to a furnace in which h the air is supplied to the ashpit through the hollow f r o n t, the supply being regulated by valves at the sides of the fire-door, a bolt c on the latch side of the door is connected to the valve lever a and is shot into a socket on the door when the valve is open. On the hinge side, a projection i on the lever g, or a bolt &c. operated thereby, engages a slot k in the hinge boss when the valve is open, preventing the opening of the door. In a modified arrangement, Fig. 7, the door cannot be opened until the lever g has been moved to close the valve completely, and this cannot be effected, owing to the projection 1 on the connecting-rod y, until the valve at the latch side of the door has also been closed ; further, the valve cannot be accidentally opened when the door is open. The arrangements are shown in connexion with a furnace front in which air is also supplied in small quantities through holes in the throat of, and around the firing-hole

Eacharm 7 is connected with its corresponding arm 8 by a guide-rod or a guideroller 18 carried on a central axis. The rollers 18 or their axles alone, if the rollers are omitted, serve to guide the threads to the warp beam. Supplemental racks 20, 21, Fig. 1, consisting of bases 22, tops 23, and guide rods or rollers 24, are placed at the outer side of each rack. The racks 20, 21 are secured at their bases to cross-pieces 12, 13, and at their tops are attached to the tops of the spindle racks by fastenings 25, 26 consisting of two parts having a limited sliding adjustment relative to one another by means of a slot 27, bolt 28, and nut. The top of the supplemental rack may thus be adjusted nearer to or farther from the spindle rack. The guide-rollers 24 constantly position the threads during the swinging movements of the spools for doffing. Modifications are described in the apparatus by which the spools may be doffed singly or in groups of two or more.
