Granted: 1902-06-25
Abstract: 15,614. Schweitzer, J. O. Aug. 1. Refining sugar.-the massecuite from the boiling- pan 2 is run in a hot condition into a macerating- vessel 3, in which it is treated with alcohol introduced from a reservoir 5. The masse is then cooled for the purpose of causing a part of the sugar, previously taken up by the alcohol from the mother liquor, to be deposited in the massecuite. Pipes f, g connect the pan 2 and vessel 3 respectively to a pipe v, leading to a vacuum chamber, and a pipe d connects the vessel 3 to a tank 4 containing the syrups from previous machining operations. The sugar is separated from the alcoholic mother-liquor by means of centrifugal machines or filter-presses, and the alcohol may be recovered by direct distillation of the liquor, or by distillation after removal of sugar therefrom by means of powdered lime or milk of lime ; the sucrate of lime, thus formed, is simultaneously distilled to drive off alcohol.

Granted: 1903-03-12
Abstract: 6468. Bayly, J. P., [Keizer, D. A.]. March 17. Moulding bricks.-Clay is fed to an endless chain of moulds K by a vertical screw S<1> working in a cylinder R supplied by three horizontal pug-mills R<1> at right-angles to one another, and receives a preliminary pressure from a plunger operated by cams on a shaft Z<3>. As the moulds move under a fixed head F<3> of the frame, the loose mould. bottoms or plungers are raised, to press the bricks, by cams on a shaft Z acting on a sliding box N containing packing-plates and a bearing-block. End lugs L of the plungers are arranged to slide in slots L' in the ends of the moulds, which are jointed together and formed with V-shaped guide- grooves, adapted to engage with ribs of the frame and hexagonal wheels a, a<1> on shafts P, Q. As the moulds pass round the wheels a', the lugs L come in contact with fixed cams or guides, and the plungers are forced outwards to expel the bricks on to pallets M<3> fitting between lugs of a pair of endless chains J<1>. The plungers are cleaned by a rotary brush y, and dusted by a rotary sieve and hopper k<2>. The pallets are stacked on a table M<5>, and removed automatically from the bottom of the pile by the lugs of the chains. The head F<3> is perforated to allow air to escape, and is connected to a base plate by four tension bolts. Grooves in the ends of the moulds engage with tongues of the head to prevent the escape of clay. Each mould box is divided into a number of compartments, and the plunger is slotted to slide between the partition plates of the mould. The parts of the machine are driven from the main shaft Z' by toothed gearing and endless bands.

Each length is provided at the upper end with a socket f, within which are a machined rib h and two spaces i, j. At the lower or spigot end are provided an internal flange l, three external machined ribs k, k<1>, k<2>, and an extension l. Each length has a rectangular slot m extending from the socket end to the spigot end, and a slot n in the extension l<1>. Two brackets o, carrying pulleys o<2>, are removably mounted on facings g on the sockets, and wire ropes or chains pass over them from the ends of a bar p, which is passed through the slots m. These ropes pass also under pulleys on the base-plate, and are then both connected to a single rope attached to a windlass, or the like. By these means, the movable lengths are raised until the bottom of the second length is in the position shown in Fig. 5. Then a machined ring r, formed in two or more segments, is placed between the ribs k, k<1>, and the. lengths are lowered until the ring r rests on the rib h. Subsequently, the space j is filled with cement under pressure, and the socket f and the spigot within it are screwed together by radial bolts. By similar operations, the upper lengths are lifted into position and secured. When extensions l<1> are not provided, the lengths have to be raised by props inserted in the top of the slots m before the bar p can be passed beneath them.

Title: Improvements in the Construction of the Reversing and Building Motions of Flyer-frames, used in the Preparation of Cotton and other Fibrous Substances
Inventor: STERN WILLIAM
Filed: 1902-07-22
Granted: 1903-02-12
Abstract: 16,262. Stern, W., [Tcherniack, A.]. July 22. Flyer frames ; building- motions.-The "jack shaft " is lengthened and drives through spur-wheels F, G and teeth H a casing E loose on the bosses L<x>. Within the casing E are two loose pinions N engaging with two loose wheels 0, Ox, of which one has one tooth more than the other. Either of the wheels 0, Ox can be prevented from rotating while the other is connected with the rack shaft I, so that the shaft can be slowly rotated in either direction according to which of the wheels 0, O<x> is prevented from rotating and which is connected with the shaft. On each side of the wheels 0, 0 <x> are clutch teeth a, b, of which the outer teeth a are engaged alternately by clutches Q carried by the fixed brackets P, and the inner teeth b are engaged alternately by a double clutch Q<X> carried by the shaft I. In the position shown, the wheel O is held stationary, while O<x> is connected with the shaft I. All the clutches are operated simultaneously by means of rods U, U<x> and a sliding key T, which is reciprocated through the lever V and rod Z at each extremity of the traverse of the bobbin rail. The rods U engage with grooved rings I<x> on the shaft I as shown. The rod Z is connected by studs g with the slotted ends of levers f, which are weighted in such a manner that, if the weights are allowed to act alternately, the levers will be oscillated and the rotation of the shaft I of the rack pinion reversed. The levers are blocked in their extreme positions by catches l, l<x>, acting alternately. The bobbin rail carries three slides n, n<x>, of which the slides nx rest against the inclined sides of the slide n, and the latter can be moved horizontally by means of a screw 0. The slides nx carry studs q, which disengage the catches l, l<x> at the ends of the traverse and are connected by chains p with the weighting- chains i, i<x> as shown. As the bobbin rail is approaching, say, the lower limit of its traverse, the left-hand chain p is tightened, thereby raising the weight j<x> and leaving the upper lever f free, so that, when the catch l<x> is released, the weight j will oscillate the levers and effect the reversal of the bobbin rail. The reversal is effected in a similar manner at the upper end of the traverse. The shaft of the screw 0 carries a pinion r, which, as the rail rises and falls, engages with teeth s on the end of a lever resting on a stud t as shown in Fig. 6x, so that at each reciprocation of the rail the slide n is moved so as to separate the slides n<x> and cause the reversal to be effected sooner than at the preceding reciprocation, and shorten the lift. The reciprocating rod Z is connected by the lever catches v with the catch wheel w for operating intermittently the rack connected with the strap fork of the cone drums.
