Filed: 1907-05-23
Granted: 1907-09-19
Abstract: 12,007. McCord, A. C. May 23. Conveyers; elevators.- Air is introduced into pneumatic conveyers, for conveying grain, sand, coal, ore, &c., through inlets b placed spirally round the tube a, the inlets being so shaped that the air enters the tube substantially tangential to it. The effect is to compel the air to hug the wall of the tube and yet move lengthways so that forcible contact of the conveyed material with the wall is prevented. Another feature consists in surrounding the tube with an air jacket. divided into sections d with joint flanges e so that air of different pressure may be supplied to different sections. A fluid - supply pipe f is arranged parallel to the conveyer pipe and is coupled by pipes g to the sections d. Fluid from a source h next the exit end of the conveyer is supplied to the pipe f, so that the pressure of air delivered is highest in the section nearest the source h and gradually diminishes towards the entrance end of the conveyer, thus accelerating the travel of the material as it approaches the exit. A feed-shoot i is shown provided with two .. doors l, k connected by a link m, so that the door l is closed when the door k is opened, and vice versa.
