Patent GB-190922446-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Carding Engines.
Inventor: BRADLEY WALTER
IPC: D01G31/00
Filed: 1909-10-02
Granted: 1910-10-03
Abstract: 22,446. Bradley, W. Oct. 2. Guards, controlling.-The locking-bar of a carding-engine door is held in the closed position by a pivoted lever, which can be jammed against the rim of the driving-pulley when the latter is at rest, but remains out of contact with it during normal working. The locking lever d, Fig. 4, counterweighted as shown, is pivoted to a lever c which is itself pivoted at c<1>, the pivot being capable of sliding to a certain extent. As shown in Fig. 4, the door is closed and the lever d lies in a notch g<1>, Fig. 3, in the locking bar g. When the machine is at rest, if the free end of the bar g be raised, the lever d is lifted and its end d<1> can be jammed against the side of the pulley e so as to rest in that position and permit the bar g to be lowered again and moved clear of the lever d to open the door. In this position the locking-bar impedes the motion of the belt-fork k, which may pass through a notch g<2> when the door is closed.

Title: Improved Method of Treating Porous Refractory Materials so as to Render them Gas-tight or Increase their Refractoriness or Density.
Inventor: LESSING RUDOLF
IPC: C04B41/50
Filed: 1911-05-19
Granted: 1912-05-20
Abstract: 12,119. Lessing, R. May 19. Refractory substances. - The walls of gas retorts, coke ovens, &c., and any other porous refractory material, are rendered gas-tight by forcing hydrocarbon gas or vapour from one side of the material into the pores and other openings which may exist in the material, and by heating the mass from the opposite side. This results in dissociation of the gas and the deposition of carbon in the pores. In the case of a retort, the gas may be generated under pressure during the first charge of the retort, the uptake being closed, and, if desired, the heating-gases may contain an excess of air.
