Title: Improvements in and relating to Apparatus for Treating Solids with Liquid, Fluid or Gaseous Agents
Inventor: DESSOLIERS HIPPOLYTE
Filed: 1904-08-26
Granted: 1905-08-24
Abstract: 18,512. Lake, H. H., [Dessoliers, H., and TÚnÚs & Regnier, P.]. Aug. 26. Extracts. - Apparatus for treating solids with liquid, fluid, or gaseous agents, suitable for extracting must, wine, alcohol, sugar, tartaric salts, colouring-matter, &c. from grapes, pressed grape skins, beet-root slices, and the like consists of a vertical cylinder 1 furnished with an inclined pipe 3 in which rotates an Archimedean screw. The solids are passed in through the hopper 2 and are treated, as they descend the cylinder and ara carried up the pipe by the screw, by liquids which enter through perforated sleeves passing round the inside of the cylinder, or from the pipe 6 at the top of the screw. Steam may be admitted to the cylinder from the pipe 10, and a heating-jacket 12 partially surrounds the pipe 3. The solids leave the pipe 3 through a truncated cone 4 into which they are compressed by the screw and which is perforated for the liquid to drain away. While the total motion of the screw is such as to carry the substances treated up the pipe, its rotation is alternately in opposite directions, the wheel 20 on its axis being driven from reversing-gear shown in Figs. 11 and 12. The wheel 18, and consequently the wheel 20, turns in opposite directions according as the wheel 15 or the wheel 16 is keyed to the driving-shaft 21 by a clutch which is actuated by the lever 22. At the opposite end of this lever is a nut caused to travel to and fro on a screwed shaft rotated alternately in opposite directions by belt gearing from the shaft 21, the two belts shown passing around wheels of different diameters so as to cause the nut to travel more rapidly in one direction than the other. Several cocks 8, 9 are provided for drawing - off separately the liquid extracts obtained in the different zones of the cylinder, and volatile products leave by the pipe 13. When the apparatus is used for the extraction of wine, salts of tartar, and colouring-matter from pressed grape skins, water is admitted through the pipes 6 and the perforated sleeves, and the jacket 12 is heated, or sulphurous water may be admitted through the pipe 6 without heating the jacket. Solutions of tartar are withdrawn by the cock 8, and wine charged with colouring-matter by one of the cocks 9.

Granted: 1905-11-09
Abstract: 11,050. Thompson, W. P., [B³rstenfabrik Erlangen Akt.-Ges.vorm. E. Krõnzlein]. May 26. Bristles; bristles, fixing; machines for making.- Relates to machines for arranging and delivering bristles to a casting-mould, in which the machine receives the bristles in a confused mass. The object is attained by the arrangement of a large number of comb shafts, of which some oscillate and others rotate. A side view of one form of the machine is shown in Fig. 5. A box or casing is open above and is provided with an adjustable work-table b upon which is placed a loose grating e. g is a casting mould with a number of funnels for the reception of the bristles. The lower series of shafts i are formed as double combs. The rods j of each shaft engage in the gaps left between the rods of the neighbouring shafts. The ends of the shafts project through the casing and carry equal spur-wheels so that when the end shaft is oscillated its movement is communicated to the remaining shafts, but as the gearing is direct, adjacent shafts oscillate in reverse directions. The limits of oscillation are shown in dotted lines. Above the rocking shafts are placed another series of shafts t which are provided with rods in two planes at right-angles which engage between the rods of adjacent shafts. These shafts are connected with spur-wheels in the same manner as the lower series, but are given a rotary movement. A third series of spindles may be provided, as shown, to which is imparted an oscillating motion. The rocking shafts are actuated by a pulley through suitable link-work, one arm of which is adjustable for the purpose of regulating the limit of oscillation. The function of the upper shafts is to loosen the mass of bristles with which the machine is fed, and as these become separated they fall through and on to the lowest rocking shaft. They cannot fall any lower until they are shaken parallel to the rods when they fall through in such a way that one end remains on one of the shafts t while the other falls down to the brush mould g. The rods j beat the bristles into the feeding-funnels until sufficient are collected for the purpose when the movable tray e is withdrawn. The mould is then lifted from the slab f, inverted, and cement poured into the mould. The wood of the brush is then placed on the cement, and the mould lifted off the finished brush.
