Title: Improvements relating to filters and methods of filtering
IPC: B01D29/11
Filed: 1939-12-22
Abstract: 608,754. Filters. LANGEN, L. H. DE. Dec. 22, 1939, No. 32768. Convention date, Dec. 23, 1938. [Class 46] [Also in Groups V and XXVIII] A filter for liquids or gases comprises a filter cloth or similar permeable material fitted over a grooved, ribbed, or corrugated deformable structure connected to a frame, the structure being formed as a closed impermeable tube. As shown in Fig. 1, a filter cloth 1 is supported by a ribbed india-rubber member 2 on a frame 3, the edges of the cloth being clamped to supports 6. For filtration air under pressure is supplied through a pipe 5 to the frame 3 and, passing through perforations 10, distends the rubber to the position 2A. The fluid under treatment filters inwardly through the cloth, passes along the grooves on the member 2 to chambers 8, and is discharged through a pipe 9 connected to a source of suction. The cake forming on the cloth is detached by relieving the pressure within the frame 3. A coarse-meshed gauze cylinder or a spiral support may be arranged around the blown-up filter element to facilitate removal of the filter cake. The pressure within the filter may be pulsating instead of uniform. The filter element may be used in a casing similar in form to the element and only slightly larger, so that a cake is formed which fills the space between them. Residual fluid may then be removed by increasing the pressure within the frame to extend further the rubber member. Fig. 7 shows an arrangement of filter elements 1 in a correspondingly-shaped vessel 15, and Fig. 8 indicates a casing with spacing blocks 14 between the casing and the elements, so that the cakes formed are of uniform thickness. The filters can be used to form tubes from clay in suspension, the tubular cakes being afterwards baked or otherwise hardened.

Abstract: 1,134,372. Rollers for conveyer belts. GUTEHOFFNUNGSHUTTE STERKRADE A.G. 19 July, 1967 [28 July, 1966; 2 Sept., 1966], No. 33072/67. Heading B8A. [Also in Division F2] A conveyer belt roller has a running-surface in the form of a hyperboloidal solid of revolution, the roller comprising a plurality of elongate members arranged in a circle and extending inwards from the ends of the roller so as to meet in an arrowhead formation. In Fig. 1, belt-supporting pairs of members 5a, 5b extend from end discs 2, 3 to an intermediate disc 4 but, at the end discs, are offset from the points of attachment on the disc 4 such that pairs of members meet at the disc 4 arrowhead-fashion. The elongate members may be of steel, rubber or plastics and may be in one or two parts. If the members are of resilient material they may be releasably secured in the discs 2, 3, 4 for renewal, Fig. 3. When the track of the conveyer belt is curved, tendency of the belt to be displaced sideways off the rollers is balanced by thrust generated by fitting the elongate members on each side of the apex at different angles, Figs. 5, 6 (not shown). In Figs. 7, 8 (not shown) this result is achieved by offsetting the apex, i.e. the intermediate disc, from the centre.

Title: Improvements in or relating to means for measuring torque
IPC: G01R11/60
Filed: 1956-11-01
Abstract: 827,212. Indicating maximum torque. PETCH, H. S., and LONDON ELECTRICITY BOARD. Feb. 3, 1958 [Nov. 1, 1956], No. 33441/56. Class 106 (4). Means for providing a measure of the maximum torque to which an element is subjected during an interval of time comprises a rotatable member operatively connected to the element, to be rotated by the latter in one direction under the influence of the torque, spring means arranged to oppose rotation of the member in said one direction whereby the latter is capable of assuming an angular balanced position representing the magnitude of the torque, means for preventing the member rotating in the opposite direction, and delay means operative to oppose rotation in said one direction, the effect of the delay means on the member being arranged to decay as a function of a predetermined period of time. The element 1 tends to rotate in one direction under the influence of the power being taken by a consumer installation from an electric supply system. Rotation of the element 1 is transmitted to a pointer 28 co-operating with a scale 29 by means of a pinion 3, crown wheel 4, shaft 5, gear 8, gear 16, sleeve 17 rotatable round a sheft 18, bevel gear 18a, bevel gear 20 (engaging a bevel gear 19), shaft 22 (secured to the shaft 18), and the shaft 18. The bevel gear 19 is held against rotation by a clip 26, spindle 25, bevel gear 24, bevel gear 23, and sleeve 21 in which the shaft 18 is rotatable, so that rotation of bevel gear 18a causes the bevel gear 20 in rotating to move the shaft 22 (on which the gear 20 is rotatable) so as to rotate the shaft 18. A spring 27 opposes rotation of the shaft 18. The delay means is a liquid damping means comprising plates 12, 14 immersed in a silicone fluid, the plate 14 being adjustable towards and away from the plate 12, a spindle 13, and a bevel gear 10 driven by a bevel gear 9 on the shaft 5. The effect of the delay means decays exponentially as a function of a predetermined time interval of, for example, thirty minutes. The final reading of the pointer 28 after, for example, a month, thus indicates the maximum torque of the element 1, persisting over at least the time interval for which the delay means is set, during the period between readings. To reset the instrument, the clip 26 is released and the sleeve 25 manually rotated to set the pointer to zero.
