Title: A method and device for conveying and separating tubers and root crops
Inventor: OLT JÜRI
IPC: A01D33/08
Filed: 2016-12-29
Abstract: A method for conveying and separating tubers or root crops according to which the mixture of tubers or root crops and soil and plant residues that is dug up from soil is forwarded to the screening area where the screening devices process the mixture both actively and passively; the mixture of tubers or root crops is shaken, which breaks up the soil content and tubers or root crops are separated from the mixture as different components, and the tubers or root crops and soil and plant residues are removed from the screening area. The device for conveying and separating of tubers or root crops contains a feeding conveyor, a baffle brush, a baffle apron, a vibrating shaker which contains forced-driven pairs of brushes in its curved side and lower part, two distributor conveyors and unloading conveyor. The curved side and lower part of the vibrating shaker contains a combination of successive pairs of brushes, which feature upper gripping brushes and lower cleaning brushes rotating in opposite directions and which are characterised by bristles of various lengths in a way that each of the upper and lower pair of brushes forms a conical separating opening on longitudinal vertical plane; however, there is a rectangle-shaped penetrating opening between the two collector brushes rotating in the opposite directions in the side part of the vibrating shaker.

Filed: 1897-08-07
Granted: 1898-07-02
Abstract: 18,376. Levinstein, I., and Levinstein (Limited). Aug. 7. Dinitrostilbene disulphonic acid is produced by oxidizing a solution of the sodium salt of p-nitrotoluene-o-sulphonic acid with sodium hypochlorite or hypobromite and caustic soda at 70‹-80‹ C. Upon neutralizing the mixture the greater part of the dinitrostilbene disulphonic acid crystallizes out as sodium salt, and the remainder may be salted out. Dyes, artificial.-(1) Weak reducing - agents, such as ferrous sulphate and ammonia, grape sugar and alkali, alkaline sulphides, &c., convert dinitrostilbene disulphonic acid, the crude alkaline solution of which may be used, into azo derivatives of stilbene disulphonic acid which dye unmordanted cotton yellow to orange-red shades according to the quantity of reducing-agent employed in their production. (2) When dinitrostilbene disulphonic acid is reduced by powerful agents, such as tin and acids, stannous chloride and acids, &c., it is converted into diamidostilbene disulphonic acid. This is tetrazotized, and combined with amines, or phenols, such as amidonaphthol sulphonic acid-y, whereby yellow to black direct dyeing azo colouring-matters are produced. These dyes may be further diazotized upon the fibre, and combined with #-naphthol, resorcin, m-toluylenediamine, &c., whereby bluish-black to greenishblack shades fast to milling are obtained. (3) New colouring-matters which yield directly upon cotton yellow to red shades are produced by heating dinitrostilbene disulphonic acid in the presence of caustic alkali, with amines, amidophenols, &c., such as benzidine, p-phenylenediamine, m-toluylenediamine, or a1a2-naphthylenediamine-p-sulphonic acid. Some of these dyes may be further diazotized, in substance or upon the fibre, and combined with amines, phenols, &c., whereby dyes varying from brown to violet and black are formed.

Title: Improvements in Machines for Cutting Glass and the like.
Inventor: EDWARDS BENJAMIN EDMUND
Filed: 1900-01-24
Granted: 1901-01-12
Abstract: 1535. Edwards, B. E. Jan. 24. Cutting glass.-R e l a t e s to machines for cutting or dividing glass sheets or tubes, photographic plates, &c. in which the cutter is situated beneath the work, which moves over it. The glass sheet m rests on the edges of a pair of parallel steel bars a, and is guided by a bar adjustably bolted to transverse grooves in the bed-plate b. The diamond or other cutter is held in a block f secured to a balanced lever e fulcrumed at d and spring-pressed at k, and situated between the bars a on which the sheet rests. A pressure roller n holds the work down against the cutter, and its pressure is adjustable by springs or by means of weights s carried by the lever t extending from the rock-shaft p. The movement of the rock-shaft p is limited by stops, so that the roller n does not come in contact with the cutter when the glass sheet is withdrawn. The following means are employed to prevent the cutter from rising before the work is over it, in which event the cutter would be liable to injury :-When the roller n is in its I)west position, the rod 4 holds down the arm 2 of the rock-shafts x, and the lever e is held down by the arm 3. As soon as the roller n is lifted by the passage of the edge of the plate beneath it, the lever e is released and the cutter comes into operation. An alternative method of effecting the same purpose is shown in Fig. 5. As the plate m moves towards the roller n, a rubber-faced wheel 7, provided with a balance weight 11, is caused to turn until the fiat surfaces 9 and 10 are horizontal, when the lever e rises and the cutter comes into action. In another modification, a curved plate or cam is carried by the block f, with which plate the edge of the work engages so as to depress the lever e sufficiently to prevent injury to the setting of the cutter. The roller n is placed a short distance beyond, instead of immediately above, the cutter. Fig. 3 shows one form of cutter used in the machine. The diamond &c. is set in a block 16 fitted in a block 17 adjusted by bolts 20, 22. For making circular cuts, the turntable shown in Fig. 7 may be employed. A rubber suction-pad 28 holds the glass, and is carried by a pin 29 centered in an adjustable bush 30. Glass tubes are cut by rotating them while they are held in V grooves above the cutter.

Title: A Device for Putting into and Cutting out of Circuit Liquid Rheostats Operated by Means of Compressed Air.
Inventor: KANDO COLEMAN DE
Filed: 1900-09-10
Granted: 1900-11-03
Abstract: 16,081. Kand¾, C. de. Sept. 10. Resistances.-Relates to pneumatically-operated means for controlling liquid resistances. A float b controlling the compressed-air supply to the resistance vessel k is controlled by raising or lowering the liquid level by a plunger e in another vessel c. The Figure shows one form of apparatus. The contact-plates i are contained in a vessel k, and the liquid is forced up into contact with them by compressed air supplied through a pipe m. The controlling-device consists of two vessels a, c, communicating at d. In the vessel c is a plunger e, which may be lowered or raised by a hand-wheel j, to raise or lower the liquid level. In the vessel a is a float b, which, when raised, opens the valve f and admits the compressed air to raise the resistant liquid in the vessel k. Liquid is also driven from the vessel a into the vessel c, so that the float sinks and the valve closes, leaving the resistance in circuit. To cut out the resistance, the plunger e is raised, the water level sinks below the opening to a tube l, and the air escapes.
