Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Concentrating and Separating Ores
Inventor: BUSS JULIUS
Filed: 1904-07-15
Granted: 1905-07-15
Abstract: 15,793. Buss, J. July 15. Washing ores.-Relates to vanning-tables with an angulaily-adjastable bottom frame having above it, mounted on resilient supports fastened to the bottom frame, a top frame with a travelling surface formed by an endless belt, the top frame receiving a percussive movement, in the direction of the travel of its surface, which is imparted by mechanism mounted on a support separate from the frame. The bottom frame a may be tilted longitudinally, transversely, or diagonally by tilting-screws e, e<1>. The top frame c, carrying the endless belt d, is carried by a series of spring legs b which are rigidly secured to both frames. The belt passes over drums f, f<1>, held in position by adjustable tightening-brackets g, and is supported between the drums by a flat surface, by rollers, or by T-irons h, fixed diagonally or otherwise on a framework h<1> carried by the frame c. Beneath the frame, the belt is supported and guided by adjustable rollers f<2>, f<3>. The belt is moved in a direction towards the cam k by the drum f<1> which is driven from the shaft k<1> which drives the cam. The shaft k<1> is mounted on standardsl against which the table c rests, the table being drawn towards the standards by an adjustable tension-rod o and spring o'. As the cam rotates, the table c is pushed away from the standards, and, when released by the cam, is forced back by the spring action of the supports against adjustable buffers m carried by the standatds. The ore is fed on to the belt by a feeder p which distributes it on the upper longitudinal edge of the belt at the end opposite to the cam. Water is supplied to a launder from a water box running the whole length of the launder, the latter being divided into separate compartments r', which communicate with the water box by valves r<3>, so that the water supply may be varied over the belt. The tailings are discharged into a launder at the lower side of the top frame, the concentrates being carried over the end roller and washed into a trough t, with separate compartments, under the belt. Instead of being fixed longitudinally, the water box may be arranged diagonally across the belt, so that the concentrates may be discharged over the longitudinal edge of the belt, but separate from the tailings. Instead of a cam, an eccentric or toggle mechanism may be arranged to give a smooth reciprocating motion to the frame.

Title: Improvements in Grinding and Sifting Apparatus
Inventor: LAUTE HUGO
Filed: 1904-09-02
Granted: 1905-09-02
Abstract: 18,935. Laute, H., and Richter, M. Sept. 2. Sifting grain &c. -A combined grinding and sifting apparatus consists of vertical series of units of the kind shown in Fig. 1. Each unit of a series has its lower grindstone 12 attached to a shaft 6. The upper grindstone 11 is supported by three arms 16 held in grooves in nuts 18 which move on threaded collars 19 on pillars 10. The nuts are cogged at 21, Fig. 2, to gear with the teeth of segments 20 fastened to rings 37, so that the nuts rise or fall together, and the position of the stone 11 is regulated by means of a chain passing over a pulley on the main frame and over the pulley 23 so as to rotate, when required, the worm 22 that gears with the cogs 21 of one of the nuts 18. The material enters through the aperture 15, is ground between the stones, and is thrown by means of the vanes 60 against the sieves 13, 14. Each unit is provided with a channel 52 extending to its casing and having a sampling-tube 53 leading outwards and a corresponding slide or valve lock 54. Four vertical cylinders, each composed of units of this kind, are combined in the apparatus shown in Fig. 3. The grain or other material to be ground is placed for cleansing in the box 39, which consists of one or more sieves, from the last of which it passes into an elevating-worm 40 with surfaces of emery or other rough material surrounded by an inner casing of wire gauze. It is then shelled and winnowed in cylinder I, which differs from the others in that its grindstones are preferably of artificial stone and its sieves of wire gauze, while it also has a ventilator 33, Fig. 5, at its base. The product is passed by an elevator to the top of cylinder II, whence the more finelyground material is led away as finished and that retained by the sieves is passed for further grinding to cylinders III, IV. The manner in which the apparatus is mounted and driven is shown in Figs. 3 and 5. A fixed frame 1 has bearings for a cranked driving-shaft 9 and crank shafts 5, 8, &c. which carry the grinding-cylinders. The cylinders are connected by bearing-frames 3, 4 so that all move together with a motion which works both grinding-stones and sieves. The stones of one cylinder, in the above combination cylinder I, may be made to rotate more rapidly by the provision of a hollow shaft 32 and spur-wheels 35, 34. The positions of all the lower grindstones 12 of a vertical column may be regulated by means of apparatus, Fig. 7, which raises or lowers the axle 6 to which they are attached, and which consists of levers 29 turning about points 28, the other ends of the levers being moved by screw spindles 30 with handles 31. Fig. 8 shows an arrangement of conical grindstones.

Combing-machines.-In a Noble's machine, the framework upon which the operating parts are mounted is constructed in such a manner that the several parts may be readily and accurately fixed in their desired and relative positions. The baseplate g and the segmental side walls h, h<1> are constructed integrally, as by casting, and the baseplate is secured to the faceplate of a lathe with the outer flanges k, m concentric with the spindle of the faceplate. The surfaces of these flanges can thus be turned accurately parallel with the under surface of the base-plate, and the surfaces of the edges n can be turned concentrically with the spindle of the faceplate. The under surface of the ball-race p is turned to fit upon the surfaces k, and the under surface and circular part of the peripheral edge of the gearing-plate f are turned to fit upon the surfaces m and within the edges n. The parts p, f are then secured in position, as by screws, and their upper surfaces can then be turned parallel with their lower surfaces and with the lower surface of the base-plate g. The several bearings, such as the bearings d, e for the rollers b, and the shafts c, can thus be secured in any of their varied positions with their axes accurately at right-angles to the plane in which the carriage a and other parts rotate. If it be desired to have the ball-race p adjustable so that it may be raised and lowered, the fixed flanges k are dispensed with, and the races are secured upon brackets provided with adjusting and fixing screws. If desired, the gearing-plate f only may be fitted in the manner described, and other means may be employed for supporting the parts situated above the gearing- plate. In the Provisional Specification it is stated that the side walls of the casing have strengthening- ribs in parts that have to resist forces acting thereon, such as the forces of the dabbing-brushes above.
