Title: Improvements in Bronzing Machines.
Inventor: NEWSUM GEORGE
IPC: B41G1/00
Filed: 1912-06-04
Granted: 1912-11-07
Abstract: 13,071. Newsum, G. June 4. Bronzing.-In a bronzing-machine, the sheet is fed into a casing A at the opening B near the bottom, and passes between the bronzing- rollers R, R<1>, R<2>, R<3>, the dusting-rollers R<4> to R<17>, and polishing-rollers R<18>, R<19>, in an upward direction, thus allowing the superfluous bronze to fall into the hopper H at the base. Bronze powder is fed to the rollers R, R<2> by a duct D, messenger roll D<2>, and roller D<3>. The rollers R, R<1>, &c. are all driven by the chain S<2>, but the upper rollers have sprockets of smaller sizes than the lower, so that the speed of the rollers increases towards the top. The sheets are delivered by an adjustable roller F<1> and tapes, by which the angle of delivery is varied according to the stiffness &c. of the sheet.

Granted: 1914-09-03
Abstract: 21,289. Drayton, W. Sept. 20. Tunnel kilns. - In a brick kiln comprising preheating, firing, and cooling sections traversed successively by trucks carrying the bricks, air drawn through the cooling-section is in part conveyed to the first part of the preheating- section to commence the heating of the bricks therein, and in part used to support combustion in the firing-section, the products of combustion being passed through the remainder of the preheating - section to complete the preliminary heating of the bricks. The kiln is divided into a number of compartments by means of partitions carried on trucks interposed between sets of the brick-carrying trucks, and all the trucks have longitudinal passages in their floors, forming continuous conduits which may be interrupted by dampers in the partition-carrying trucks; dampers are also provided in the walls of the tunnel to co-operate with the partitions in separating the compartments. Filling-pieces are inserted between the trucks and provided with passages connecting the passages in the floors of the trucks. The floors of the brickcarrying trucks have perforations opening into the passages. Figs. 1 and 1<a> are horizontal sections showing respectively the cooling and firing compartments and the preheating-compartments of the kiln. Fig. 2<a> is a vertical longitudinal section through the preheating- compartments, and Fig. 5 a vertical transverse section through the firing-compartment. Air is supplied by the blower 52, Fig. 1, to the exit end of the kiln, and passes through the cooling- section C, becoming heated by contact with the fired bricks. Part of it is withdrawn at 49 and conveyed by the duct 47 to one of the preheating-compartments B, near the entrance of the kiln, where it is delivered through openings in the roof at 50, Fig. 2<a>. The remainder is withdrawn at 29 and delivered to the firing- compartment A. The products of combustion pass downwards through the perforated floors of the trucks in the firing-compartment into the longitudinal passages of the trucks and thence upwards through the perforated floor of the trucks in the last preheating-compartment, as shown by arrows in Fig. 2<a>. Passing over the partition F they descend through the adjoining preheating-compartment, and rise through the next, being drawn off at 43 by the fan 45. The hot air entering at 50 is similarly passed through the remaining preheating-compartments and drawn off by the fan at 51. Gas for combustion in the firing-compartment is supplied from a producer G, Fig. 5, to twq longitudinal ducts 22 above the side walls, whence it is delivered downwards by passages 23 to meet hot air from the cooling-compartments, which is delivered upwardly from longitudinal ducts 26. The flames rise through pockets 27 into the combustion space 20. The inner walls of the flame pockets 27 may consist of removable firebrick slabs fitting in grooves in the piers separating the pockets, so as to admit of expansion. For starting the kiln, ordinary fireplaces 32 are provided.
