Abstract: 26,295. Calcar, R. P. van, Ellerman, J., and Martijn, H. J. Nov. 24. Drying air; drying-agents or desiccants. - Apparatus for drying and sterilizing air comprises a casing in which a series of trays containing calcium chloride or other drying- agent is arranged so as to force the air in a staggered path, an air inlet and a throttle at the outlet being provided. The solution formed by the calcium chloride removes impurities from the air. Small quantities of sodium and copper sulphate are added to the chloride to facilitate its removal from the evaporating-pans. In the apparatus shown, the air enters throngh openings 1 and is withdrawn by a fan 5 through a perforated cover 3, passing in its way over and through pans 2 containing desiccant. Any particles of desiccant carried off by the air current are stopped by a disk 4 and fall back through the funnel-shaped chamber 6 to the pans. These are arranged as shown, and are supported at one side by angle-irons and at the other by uprights 9 from the pan below. Their bottoms are perforated and dished towards the middle, where outlet pipes 10 direct any solution formed into the next pan, and from the lowest pan into a chamber 13, and thence to a receiver.

Granted: 1913-04-24
Abstract: 11,564. Biheller, S. May 15. Atmospheric gas burners. - In Bunsen burners, means for simultaneously regulating the supplies of air and gas are, for the purpose of further regulating the proportion of air and gas, combined with an obstacle which projects to a variable extent into the stream of gas so as to regulate the suction it produces. In the form shown in Fig. 2, the gas supply is controlled by a needle valve 11 actuated by a milled head 17, which is coupled by means of a lever 13 to an air shutter 20 controlling air ports in the mixing- chamber 10. The air supply may be further controlled by an independent shutter 19. The conical end 23 of a screw projects into the stream of gas from the nozzle 9 for the purpose of regulating the proportion of air and gas. In an alternative form, the gas supply is regulated by a plug valve, in one end of which is the gas nozzle and to which an air-shutter is coupled; an independently-operated needle valve cooperates with the gas nozzle.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Lasting or like Machines.
Inventor: BOULT ALFRED JULIUS
IPC: A43D21/12
Filed: 1912-05-29
Granted: 1913-05-29
Abstract: 12,688. Boult, A. J., [United Shoe Machinery Co.]. May 29. Lasting.-A bed-lasting machine of the type in which wipers while in rubbing contact with the upper or the sides of the last, are given a vertical movement relative to the last prior to their normal horizontal closing movement, is provided with a limiting-device which determines the vertical position of the wipers relative to the bottom of the shoe before they commence their horizontal movement. In the bed-lasting machine described in Specification 22,630/08, in which the wipers are moved while the last is kept stationary, a block 14 is slidably mounted on a bracket projecting from the machine frame, and is provided with a vertical slot 16 to take a rod 15 projecting from the wipercarrier, so that it is moved horizontally with the wiper-carrier. A hold-down post 18 passes through the block 14, and is connected to a treadle rod 20 by a joint permitting the holddown to move with the block 14. The holddown head 22 is provided with a hold-down finger 25, and is normally held raised with the finger 25 to one side of the work by a spring 23. Before the wipers operate, the hold - down is turned by hand until the finger is over the work, and then the treadle is depressed to hold down the last. A friction clamp 26 retains the holddown rod in its depressed position during the operation of the wipers. The clamp is adapted to be released by a lever 30 operated automatically from the cam-shaft of the machine and also adapted to be operated by a knee-lever. The hold-down 22 carries a second arm 45, which, when the hold-down is in operative position, extends over an adjustable abutment 48 on a slide 46 moving in the slot 16 for the connecting rod 15. As the wiper head is raised, the rod 15 engages the slide and moves it upwards until it engages the arm 45, which then determines the position of the wipers before the wiping-over movement is started. In the type of bed-lasting machine in which the last is depressed by a depressor, the depressor 124, Fig. 6, is provided with a forwardly projecting stop 128, which is adapted to engage the wipers. The foot of the depressor is shaped so that it overlies the inner sole rib without crushing it.

Abstract: 18,360. Kosminski, C. M. Aug. 9. [Addition to 6667/12.] Carpets, furs, rugs, and the like, beating and brushing mechanically. - The apparatus for beating furs, dress materials, carpets, and the like described in the parent Specification is modified as follows. (1) To maintain the beating-strips on the radial vanes C, the ends of the latter are curved upwards and also bent in a forward direction out of the plane of the central portion of the vane. The vanes also are made detachable and are secured to the drum by means of thumb-screws or by being formed with a T-shaped base flange which engages similar slots in the side flanges of the drum. (2) A circular brush E, made up of segments fitting between the radial vanes, is detachably or permanently connected to the drum. After the removal of the vanes and the attached beating- strips, the apparatus can be used to brush materials by rotating the drum about the pivot b<2> until the brush contacts with the work. In some cases, the cushion F may be movable instead of the drum.
