Patent GB-190525380-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Conveyers.
Inventor: LORILLARD PIERRE
Filed: 1905-12-06
Granted: 1906-07-05
Abstract: 25,380. Lorillard, P. Dec. 6. Elevators.- Apparatus by which passengers may be elevated in a spiral course is constituted by two sets of inversely reciprocating interpenetrating comblike carriers, passengers being automatically transferred from a carrier of one set at the end of its travel to the adjacent carrier of the other set at the beginning of its travel. The spiral stepped carriers 5, Fig. 2, are carried at the upper and lower ends by two radial girders 8 secured to arms 12, 13 mounted on the central shaft 18 and connected together by a curved member (not shown). The alternate carriers 6 are similarly carried by girders 9 secured to arms 23. 24 connected by the curved member 27. The above-mentioned curved members have at their lower ends semicircular tracks 29 resting on rollers 31 carried by levers 33 pivoted on an axis 34. The levers 33 are rocked by oppositelyarranged cams 39 mounted on the shaft 40. Vertical motion is communicated from the cams 39 to the carriers 5, 6, so that one set moves in an inverse sense to the other set. Rotary oscillation about the central axis 18 is imparted simultaneously with the vertical motion by arms 42, 46 carrying rollers moving in vertical slots 44, 48 depending from the lower girders 8, 9. These arms carry other rollers 60 moving in oppositely-arranged cam-grooves in disks 50, 51, driven through bevel-gear 64 simultaneously with the cams 39. The path of a carrier due to the combined vertical and angular reciprocations is shown in development in Fig. 11. The dotted and dot-and-dash lines represent the ascending and descending carriers at various points in their paths. If the full line indicates one position of coincidence of the two sets of carriers, then the ascending carrier moves from a upwards in a spiral path while the adjacent descending carrier moves from b downwards along the irregular path until the other position of coincidence midway between a and b is reached. The passenger is then transferred during reversal of the reciprocations from one set of carriers to the other without change of speed. Passengers are transferred to or from the spiral carriers by circular horizontal carriers 72, 73, Fig. 1, which are arranged about the central column and are continuous throughout their whole course. These carriers are supported by girders 75, 79, secured to plates 77, 83. The necessary vertical motion is imparted to these plates by rollers 91, 92 attached to rods 93, actuated from cams upon the shaft 40. The carriers also receive angular reciprocation with the carriers 5, 6, relative vertical movement taking place at the points of contact of the spiral and horizontal carriers. The horizontal carriers deliver to or receive from fixed comb landings.

Abstract: 25,603. Roberts, F. C. Dec. 8 Charging.-Relates to charging-apparatus of the kind described in Specification No. 3834, A.D. 1902, [Abridgment Class Iron &c.]. In order to afford an even distribution of material, the ore discharged from a skip through an ordinary shoot F, whicn may run on rails f<1>, is received into a supplementary hopper C, symmetrically disposed above the main hopper, and consisting, in one form, of upper and lower parts and closed at the bottom by a bell D supported by a cross-bar d. The upper part of the hopper C is capab:e of horizontal rotation on wheels running in grooves c<12>, motion being received by means of gearing c<13>, c<14>, &c. from a motor c<15>. The lower part c' of the hopper can be lifted by levers c' &c. connected to a ring c' so as to discharge the contents on to the main bell B. The ring c<1> is under a flange of the part C', but is not further connected with it, thus allowing rotation of the part C<1>. As each skipload is delivered, the hopper C is given a partial rotation and the charge is dropped on to the bell B, or the hopper C may be continuously rotated. In a modification, the chamber C, Fig. 4, is made in one piece, and is closed by a bell D which can be lowered by a lever h connected to a ring h<1> and collar on a sleeve H<1> so that the bell may rotate with the chamber.
