Title: Improvements in Filtering Apparatus.
Inventor: BRAMWELL BALFOUR
IPC: B01D24/12
Filed: 1909-01-28
Granted: 1909-05-20
Abstract: 2101. Bramwell, B. Jan. 28. Rotary filters; filters, cleansing; supplying and discharging liquid in connexion with filters.-Filtering-material K is supported on a perforated floor J within a cylinder A, which has dished or spherical ends and is elongated in the case of large filters to give a filtering-surface large in comparison with the water space. Liquid to be filtered enters at the eni M of a pipe E ani passes a valve band up a pipe H. The filtered liquid passes away from below the floor J through a pipe N and a pipe or passage I into an outlet portion of the pipe E separated from the rest by a partition F. For cleansing, the flow is reversed and the cylinder rotated on rollers C, C' by means of a worm-wheel D. The opening P, which gives communication between the pipe E and the passage I, is arranged so that the flow of wash-water is cut off when, during the rotation, the floor J rises above the filtering-material. The space beneath the floor is divided by partitions m, and apertures e, e', e' are fitted with piston valves arranged on a spindle n so that communication may be opened from the pipe N either to individual compartments or to all at once. When the filter is brought to rest, the valve b is closed by means of a lever g, rod h, and lever f, a piston valve on the same spindle being simultaneously opened. The wash liquid is then siphoned off into the pipe E through openings d fitted with baffle-plates d'. Each of the compartments beneath the floor J may be fitted with a separate valved wash-water supply pipe. The smaller filter shown in Fig. 3 is supported on trunnions and rotated by means of worm gearing D‹. The inlet and outlet pipes E<1>, E<2> pass into, but not through, the trunnions, and pipes I‹, I<2> connect them with the spaces above and below the filtering-medium, the pipe I‹ having valves a, b.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the Supporting and the Relative Positioning of the Work and the Tool in Machines used in the Manufacture of Boots and Shoes.
IPC: A43D15/00

Granted: 1909-10-11
Abstract: 22,502. Keall, F. B., Gouldbourn, J., Jerram, A. E., and British United Shoe Machinery Co. July 10, 1908. Boot - sole stitching machines; lasts, mount ing. - Relates to ma chines of the type de scribed in the companion Specifications 14,696/08 and 22,503/09, and con sists in the provision of means for maintaining constant, or approximately constant, the rate of relative movement between the margin of the work and the tool. This is effected by mechanism which regulates the speed of admission of the fluid to the hydraulic cylinder that controls the traversing movement of the jack as described in the first of the Specifications above referred to. This mechanism comprises a long conical valve F<25>, Figs. 3 and 4, connected by a link K to a lever K<1> secured to a rock-shaft K<2>, to which is also secured a second lever K<3>. The lever K<3> is adapted to engage a sliding collar K<3> abutting against the central portion of a lever K<4> pivoted upon a rotatable frame K<5>. One end of the lever K<4> rests against a speed-changing cam G<3> formed upon the hub of the cam G, which forms part of the jack - reversing mechanism described in Specification 14,696/08. The cam G<3> is formed with a number of different contours in accordance with different shapes of shoes, and the lever K is adapted to be moved to engage any one of these contours. For this purpose the frame K<5> is mounted on a spindle K<6>, Fig. 4, and is slidingly coupled to a bush K<8>, which can be turned by a handle K. A friction device K<7> holds the frame K<5> and bush K<8> in their adjusted positions. The spindle K<6> is threaded into the machine frame, and is provided with a milled head K<11>, by which it can be rotated to vary the position of the lever K<4>; this adjustment is provided for accelerating or retarding the speed of the jack generally, without effecting the speed-varying mechanism. Instead of the hydraulic speedregulating device there may be employed a contoured drum driven by a chain or band which travels at a uniform rate, the position of the chain &c. on the drum being adjustable.

The bricks are delivered from the cutting-machine by a conveyer-belt 25 and are placed successively on a plate 31<a> sliding in the machine table 31. The plate 31<a> is traversed backwards and forwards by means of a cam 32 engaging a pin 33 on its under surface, or is moved forward by the cam 32 and returned by a spring 32<a>. When in the forward position, the bricks are successively gripped by the side plates of a panelling-box 34 operated by cams on rotating- shafts 36, which also carry cutters 35 for cutting- out the panels. On the next forward movement of the plate 31<a>, the gripped brick is released and is carried between the side plates of an imprint-box 37. These plates are operated to impress the desired marking by cams on the shaft 36. The shaft 36 is driven by gearing 40, 41 by the camshaft 42, which is driven through chain-gearing by the main-shaft 15.

Inventor: GIBBS WILLIAM EDWIN
IPC: C21D9/62
Filed: 1910-08-22
Granted: 1910-11-10
Abstract: 19,594. Gibbs, W. E. Sept. 4, 1909, [Convention date]. Annealing.-Wire is annealed by passing an electric current through it in an atmosphere of steam, and automatically controlling the strength of the current according to the speed of the wire. The wire is fed over a drum 11 through a telescopic steam chamber 13 and round drums 16, 17 in water in a tank 18, and is finally wound on a drum 23. Electric current from the secondary 33 of a transformer is passed through the wire between contacts 36, 37. The drum 11 is connected by mitre gearing to a governor 46 connected by an arm 45 to the core 43 of an inductance 42 in the primary circuit 39 of the transformer, so that the speed of the drum 11 controls the primary current, and consequently the secondary current which passes through the wire. The tank 18 is provided with a heating-coil 29 for boiling the water at starting. Partial oxidation of the surface of the wire may be obtained, if required, by adjusting the telescopic chamber 13.

Granted: 1911-01-30
Abstract: 28,363. Howieson, J. T. Dec. 29, 1909. Adding-apparatus; operating by motors.-Relates to key-set apparatus and consists in providing a primary or ultimate-driving spring in a barrel 42, Fig. 4, in conjunction with a lighter and quicker acting secondary or immediate-driving spring in a barrel 32 under the control of a centrifugal governor and brake. The winding-up mechanism is locked after use until the primary spring needs re-winding, and such condition is announced by an alarm, after which, if the re-winding is deferred, the keyoperated means for releasing the secondary spring is locked. The winding-arbor 41 of the primary spring is turned by working a ratchet clutch, Fig. 14, with the aid of a rack and cross-lever, reversal being prevented by the pawl and ratchet wheel 56, 55. When the winding- up is complete, a finger 60, Fig. 5<b>, on the arbor abuts against the end of a detent 61, which is supported against the disengaging pull of a spring by a slide 64. When the springs require re-winding, a finger 74, Fig. 4, between stops 75, 76 on the first primary barrel disengages a detent 69, Fig. 5<b>, from the slide 64 and then lifts a dog 81 in front of a cross-bar 31 so that the slide moves forward in two stages under the pull of a spring 78, first sounding a bell 89 and setting free the detent 61, and secondly locking the sliding blocks that are interposed between the keys and prevent the operation of more than one at a time. On rewinding, the slide is pushed back by a finger 98 on the winding-arbor. Governing speed of operation. - To prevent shock owing to a high speed being attained when the higher digits are added, an intermediate shaft 36, Fig. 21, carries a brake wheel 101, and a centrifugal governor 106 geared therewith applies a brake band 114. Differential mechanism. - The key-set releasing-means act as follows. Each key acts through one of nine rods 128, Fig. 26, on one of ten corresponding stops 129 in a master-wheel 147, and so shifts a sleeve 127, which acts through levers 142, 125 and disengages a detent 123 from a rocker 122; this in turn under the influence of a spring lifts a detent 119 from an escape-wheel 116. The train then runs until the displaced stop on the master-wheel encounters a roller 144 on the rocker, which being thus reset makes the detent re-engage the ratchet-wheel.
