Granted: 1911-08-24
Abstract: 13,851. Kier, A. J. Sept. 6, 1910, [Convention date]. Moving-chamber apparatus. -An apparatus for filling tubes with pasty materials comprises a reservoir b in which a tube e provided with a piston f is movably arranged. The tube e, guided by a pipe c having an opening d, is first pushed through the paste by means of a lever h to separate a definite quantity, and then the piston f is operated by a lever m to discharge the paste from the tube, the paste pressing back a spring-controlled plunger q to open a port leading to the filling-nozzle r, over which the container to be filled is placed. When the container is filled, the lever h is moved to the right, thereby returning the lever m, tube e, and piston f to their initial positions, the lever m being retained in its retracted position by a spring lock. The filling- nozzle is again closed by the plunger q. The vacuum left in the pipe c by the withdrawal of the tube e causes the paste in the reservoir to be pressed down through the opening d by atmospheric pressure.

Abstract: 12,364. Slyke, F. E. van. May 24. Coal-cutting machines. -Relates to machines of the type described in Specifications 8895/11 and 6285/12, and consists in the combination of an angular working position for the cutting- chain appreciably in advance of the usual right - angled position, with haulage gear so arranged that the rope exerts its pull at one side of the front end of the machine, the object being to keep the machine up to the working face. As shown, the cutting - arm 9 is normally locked at between 70 and 80 degrees to the main frame by a pin 37 engaging one of two apertures in a fixed bracket 36 and corresponding apertures in the turntable. The hauling-rope passes over a pulley 35, around a fixed pulley 40 and back to the side of the front of the machine. A detachable shoe 42 is secured at the side of the machine adjacent to the working face. For swinging the cutter arm into the coal, a short cable is wound on the smaller diameter 33<b> of a double winding-drum, Fig. 6, and around a groove in the turntable. The larger diameter 33<a> of the drum is used for hauling. A cone clutch 43, 44 connects the hauling-drum with its driving- wheel 48, a hand-wheel 34, working over a screw 46 on a hollow shaft fixed to the member 44, being employed to raise or lower the drum and so release or engage the clutch. The screw 46 is left-handed, so that rotation of the member 44 when the clutch is disengaged will not engage it.

Spring wheels with continuous outer rigid ring and helical springs.-The rim and a floating hub casing 27 are held together by tubular spokes 4 which contain plungers 9 pressed inwardly by springs so as to resist displacement of the hub proper. Pivoted in the slotted end of each plunger is a toothed segment 19, Fig. 2, and keyed to the hub are toothed gear-wheels 32, 33, which, on displacement, cause a rocking of the segments. Each segment is in direct engagement with a spring-pressed rod 21 which is guided in the plunger, and bears against the main spring 10. The ends of the segments have straight faces 26 which ultimately act as cam-surfaces against the teeth on the wheels 32, 33. The outer end of the plunger contains a spring buffer 17 which abuts against a nut 6 adjustable in the spoke so as to tension the main spring.

Abstract: 13,342. Giessmann, M. C. J. G. June 6. Cams. - In connexion with screw propellers which have a reciprocating and rotary motion, a sleeve is provided which connects the engine and propeller shafts and has cam-shaped ends contacting with fixed cams to give the reciprocating movement. The propeller shaft b projects into the hollow driving-shaft d, Fig. 1. A pin i in the shaft b passes into a slot h in the shaft d, whereby the latter may rotate the former and allow for relative endlong movement. A sleeve j is also rotated by the shaft d, a bolt k passing through slots l which allow relative endlong movement. The ends m of the sleeve have cam surfaces adapted to contact with fixed cams n so that as the sleeve rotates it is also moved backwards and forward. This latter movement is communicated to the propeller shaft b by the pin i, which projects beyond the shaft d into the sleeve j. In a modification, the sleeve is reciprocated by a pin in the engine shaft engaging a cam groove therein and is rotated by the end cams, whereby the rate of reciprocation is retarded.

Abstract: 20,367. Ransford, R. B., [Cassella & Co., L.]. Sept. 6. [Cognate Application, 6269/13.] Samples furnished. Anthracene, dyes derived from.-Condensation products are obtained from diaminoanthraquinones and benzoquinone, its halogen derivatives, or alpha-naphthoquinone. The products from benzoquinone or its halogen derivatives dye cotton from a vat in brown to brownish-red shades; the products from a-naphthoquinone have little dyeing power. Other vat dyes are obtained by condensing the above-described condensation products with halogenanthraquinones; these dye brownish-red to claret-red shades. According to examples, 1:8-diaminoanthraquinone is condensed with benzoquinone; 1:5- or 2:6-diaminoanthraquinone give similar products; 1:5-diaminoanthraquinone is condensed with alpha-naphthoquinone, and the product is further condensed with #-chloranthraquinone; #-chloranthraquinone may be replaced by alpha-chloranthraquinone, and benzoquinone may replace the naphthoquinone. Suitable diluents for use in the process are glacial acetic acid, alcohol, and nitrobenzene; catalysts may be used or a current of air passed through the reaction mixture.

Granted: 1913-12-17
Abstract: 21,189. Gillespie, W. R. Sept. 17. Cam-actuated pumps; stroke, varying.-A separate cam-actuated mechanism is employed for injecting fuel for each direction of rotation; the cams are automatically adjustable in accordance with the direction of rotation of the cam shaft. Fuel pumps 5, 6 are worked by cams 13 on the crank - shaft, acting through levers 10. 11. Hand-controlled cams 15, 16 act on the upper ends of the levers 10, 11 in such a way that one of the pumps 5, 6 is held out of action while the other is actuated with an adjustable stroke. The stroke of the pump is also controlled by governor-adjusted slides 30. For reversing, the cams 15, 16 are turned to bring into action the other pump to supply a large quantity of fuel to produce a premature impulse. The cams 13, 14 are driven by pins working in slots in the cams, so that, as the shaft reverses, the cams are automatically adjusted for the reverse direction of running. In a modification, the " reverse " position is dispensed with, and the hand-lever 20 moved over its whole range for reversing. The levers 10, 11 carry pivoted pieces which are moved outwards to give a large stroke, when the cam engaging them is rotated in the opposite direction from that in which it normally works.

Granted: 1913-10-15
Abstract: 23,591. Sulman, H. L., Picard, H. F. K., and Broadbridge, W. Oct. 15. Lixiviating.-Nitrates are extracted from crude material such as caliche by grinding and classifying in a cold saturated liquor circuit, and then treating the concentrate in a separate hot liquor circuit for solution and filtration. The caliche, roughly broken in an apparatus A, is fed to a wet grinding-apparatus such as a conical mill B, and the arrangement may be such that the grinding is effected wholly or in part by the stones in the caliche. The mill is provided with doors B<1> for removing the larger stones as they accumulate. The cold saturated liquor circuit is shown in dotted lines and includes a settler F and filter or the like G for the settled pulp, the filter cakes being delivered to a mill H in the hot liquor circuit. The smaller stones are removed by a strainer E, and together with the larger stones are washed in a vessel D by a water spray which makes up the bulk of the cold circuit liquor against loss involved in the transfer of the filter cakes to the hot circuit. The cakes are mixed with the hot liquor in the mill H, the mixing being continued in a trough J containing a rotary screw J', jackets H<1>, J<2> being provided to prevent crystallization. Alternatively, the mixing may be effected in counter-current apparatus. The liquor is discharged into a filter K maintained at a high temperature, and, if a vacuum filter is used, a condenser L is interposed between the vacuum pump and the filters to prevent removal of water. The solution from the filter K is led to crystallizing-tanks N, the filter cakes being preferably washed with saturated steam. The mother liquor and the washings of the filter cakes from a tank O are returned to the hot circuit as shown in full lines. The quantity of the hot liquor mixed with the nitrate is such as to leave out of solution the bulk of the common salt present. The crystallization may be effected in two stages in the known manner, first in a cooler to remove common salt, and then in crystallizing-ta n ks.
