Title: Improvements in Separating Break Flour from Break Stock or Scalping Grading or Dusting Middlings or Semolina and other Mill Products, and Apparatus therefor.
Inventor: WALPOLE JOHN EDWARD
Filed: 1905-05-30
Granted: 1905-11-30
Abstract: 11,346. Walpole, J. E. May 30. Sifting and separating flour and meal &c.-Relates to apparatus for separating break-flour from break-stock, or for scalping, grading, or dusting middlings, semolina, or chop, or for dusting, grading, or cleaning wheat or other cereals. The material falls from the feed-hopper A, which has a fluted roller C and a gate adjusted by a spring D, through a current of air on to the top of an adjustable inclined sieve F of silk or wire gauze or perforated material. The flour passes through the sieve with the air, and down a passage G to an expansion chamber H, the lighter particles passing through the fan M to a dust collector. The remaining chop passes down the sieve F, and is subjected to suction air currents which cause slight friction of the stock on the gauze surface, thereby brightening the semolina and middlings, and removing fibrous matter, which falls into a collecting-chamber and is discharged by a conveyer 0. The remainder of the chop passes on to a second inclined sleeve F<1>, through which air currents. pass and in which the semolina and middlings are separated from the broken wheat and branny particles, which are then graded at Q for the following break-rolls, the lighter particles being - removed by an air current at V and discharged by a worm W. The middlings and semolina are discharged by conveyers P<1>, P<2>, P<3> and pass direct to purifiers, or as required. The undersides of the sieves are kept clean by adjustable brushes R<1>, R<2>, R<3>, R<4>, R<5>, and thumb-screws are provided for tightening the gauze covers. The sieves may be stationary or in action. Slides K regulate the air current to the fan M, and slides U the intensity of the exhaust under the sections of the sieve F<1>. The machine may be constructed with three or more inclined sieves and with or without air currents for further dusting or grading.

Filed: 1905-09-28
Granted: 1906-03-29
Abstract: 19,614. Douglas, W. P. Sept. 28. Toys for delivering sweetmeats and the like.- Relates to a toy in which predetermined quantities of loose sweets, marbles, beads, &c., or packets of these articles, are delivered from a casing which represents a windmill, watermill, factory, shop, &c., by means of a model figure provided with a tray, cart, barrow, basket, &c., into which the sweets are delivered by suitable mechanism. The figure is caused to leave the casing by way of an inclined pathway leading to a doorway &c. In one form, Fig. 3, a number of loose sweets, packets, &c. are delivered from a magazine b to a shoot m by means of a cylinder d, which rotates under an orifice c in the magazine, and is formed with an orifice e which, at each rotation of the cylinder, delivers a definite quantity of sweets to a model cart. The case a represents a windmill, and, at each revolution of the shaft d, the sails F are driven by means of friction disks s, t. The cart is mounted on a pivoted platform j, which is tilted by a crank f and connecting-rod h, after the cart is supplied with sweets, and this causes the cart to leave the casing, the cart being returned by hand or automatically after the sweets are taken out. Fig. 5 shows a model windmill, the top part a' of the casing containing clock-work mechanism for driving the sails f<1>. The mechanism is wound up by means of a thumbscrew b, and is provided with a fan d. The magazine consists of a series of radial chambers r, each containing a package of sweets &c. The chambers r are mounted on a spindle p, which is rotated by means of an horizontal shaft g provided with two projections h, one of which rotates a disk q on the shaft p by acting on one of a series of teeth s on the disk, and so the chambers r in turn deliver their contents through an orifice u to a cart &c. The other projection h acts on a pivoted rod j, and through a rod k tilts the platform m on which the cart stands, and so causes it tu leave the mill. The handle of the shaft g is held in position by means of a spring catch while the platform m is tilted.

Title: Improvements in the Production of Soluble Starch and Dextrine.
Inventor: FIELDING ARTHUR
Filed: 1906-09-15
Granted: 1907-07-18
Abstract: 20,488. Fielding, A. Sept. 15. Starch; dextrin.-Soluble starch and dextrin are produced by treating ordinary dry starch in a rotating cylinder with citric, formic, hydrochloric, nitric, sulphuric, tartaric, or other suitable acid, in the state of gas, vapour, or fine spray, and with steam, introduced through one or both the hollow trunnions of the cylinder, or with steam alone, the starch having been previously impregnated with liquid acid. The apparatus used is a modification of that described in Specification No. 19,499, A.D. 1903, the rotary beating-cylinder and the heating of the rotary converter being dispensed with. Acid is vaporized from a reservoir by any suitable atomizer, or otherwise, is forced at, say, atmospheric temperature, through one of the hollow trunnions of the converter, and is absorbed by the agitated starch. Steam, at suitable pressure, is introduced, conveniently through the same trunnion, either afterwards or, preferably, at the same time ; according ,to the Provisional Specification, it is preferably introduced through the other trunnion at the same time. This is continued until the complete conversion of the starch into soluble starch, or with prolongation of the treatment, into dextrin. The Figure shows a steampipe g, provided with a draw-off pipe h, for water of condensation, from which the steam passes through a T-pipe f, along with vaporized acid from a heated flask c connected to the lower limb of the T-pipe, and through a pipe i connecting the third limb with the iotary cylinder a through its hollow trunnion b. When sufficient steam and acid have been admitted, the supply can be stopped by shutting off the steam and turning out the atmospheric burner d under the flask c.

Granted: 1907-02-28
Abstract: 22,491. Bloxam, A. G., [Siemens & Halske Akt.-Ges.]. Oct. 11. R÷ntgen-ray and like apparatus. - Homogeneous masses of tantalum and other difficultly fusible metals are obtained by melting the metallic powder, produced in any suitable manner, by the influence of cathode rays. In one form of apparatus the metallic powder is in connexion with the anode, and is placed in the focus of a cathode-ray radiator b in a glass vessel a, closed at its ends by metal covers cemented air-tight to the glass, the vessel being exhausted to the necessary degree. In another arrangement, the metallic powder is not in connexion with the anode, while in a third arrangement, which may be used with alternating current, both electrodes are similarly formed, and arranged to have a common focus. In this case, the electrodes emit cathode rays alternately ; or the apparatus may be arranged to act as a rectifier, one of the electrodes always acting as the cathode. The rays may be deflected by a magnet held outside the vessel so that every part of the metal may be brought under their influence.
