Abstract: 15,173. Wurm, A. July 4. Concentrating milk.-Milk is concentrated, at atmospheric pressure, by allowing it to circulate in a chamber heated to a temperature not exceeding 70‹ C. The milk is supplied from a reservoir g to a series of inclined trays b, b<1>, contained in the chamber a heated by tubing c. After traversing the trays, the milk flows into a receiver d from which it is supplied by the elevator f to the hopper e, thence again to the upper tray b.

Granted: 1907-10-25
Abstract: 19,035. Ryder, H. Aug. 29, 1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Flyer frames yarns.-Relates to a machine for making core yarn by spinning fibres so that they lie substantially parallel to each other spirally around an untwisted wire core. The yarn produced is described in Specification No. 19,023, A.D. 1906, and the machine incorporates parts of the machine described in Specification No. 18,562, A.D. 1901. The wire is drawn from a spool 14 and passes above a carrier 51, through a groove in a roller 15, Fig. 4, and over a divider 17 to a winding-flyer 8. The flyer and the spool 14 are driven at the same speed from a shaft 5, so that the wire remains untwisted. The fibre is delivered from a trumpet 52 on to the carrier 51, which is driven at an adjustable speed from the main shaft 2 through gears 29,30,31. From the carrier, it passes between rollers 16, 50, under the divider 17, and through a rotating sleeve 18 by which it is spun spirally around the wire. The sleeve 18 is driven through change gear from a gear 53 on the shaft 5. The finished wire then passes around draw pulleys 19 driven from the sleeve by gears 37 .. 40, Fig. 4, over guide-sleeves 20, and is wound on to a spool or bobbin 21. The speed of the draw pulleys may be adjusted relatively to that of the carrier 51, so as to produce any desired draft and tension. The bobbin is driven so as to wind on through gears 26, 25, 24, the latter of which is kept by a spring 27 in frictional contact with the gear 6, which drives the flyer through a wheel 7 on its hub. The gear 26 is splined on a shaft 23 which drives the bobbin and is reciprocated through, the flyer hub by a fork arm on a .nut 47, reciprocated by a right and left handed screw 44 driven from the shaft 5. The spun fibres are stated to be capable of sustaining a proportionate amount of the load to which the core yarn may be subjected.

Abstract: 22,034. Jackson, W., and Pochin, H. N., [trading as Jackson & Pochin]. Oct. 5. Burnishing; ornamenting.-A tool-holder for edge-setting machines ensures that the tool always engages the sole edga properly, notwithstanding its varying inclination and contour. The tool 1, provided with guard lips 8, or, if desired, carrying on its upper side a stitchwheel, is secured by a bayonet-joint fastening 6 to a boss 3 projecting from a vertical plate 2, which is adapted to slide in grooves in a block 10, pivotally held in the grooved end 11 of the usual sliding bar 12. The pivot pins 14 of the block 10 pass through slots 15, and springs 16, preferably carried on pins 17, normally hold the block forwards in its support. Balance springs 19 normally hold the plate 2 in a raised position. The arrangement allows the tool 1 to yield to the sole edge by rotation on the boss 3, by the raising or lowering of the plate 2, or by the turning of the block 10 about its pivot pins. The tool is held up to the work by weights or springs. Conveniently, pivoted bell-crank levers 20 on either side of the machine are connected by pins and slots 23, 24 to the bar 12, and are provided at their free ends with weights 26. In the modification shown in Fig. 3, the boss 3 is carried by a segmental slide 27, which is mounted on ball bearings 28 in the jaws 29 of a member 30 pivoted to the sliding bar 31. This bar is mounted in the vibrating head b, and is normally pressed forwards by a spring 32. In another modification, Fig. 5, the boss 3 is carried on an oscillating member 34, which is connected by links 35 to a lever 36 having a pivotal connexion centrally to the sliding bar 31. In each of the modifications shown in Figs. 3 and 5, a bell-crank lever 37 is provided for withdrawing the tool from the work.

Title: Improvements in the Separation of Zinc from its Ores or Compounds.
Inventor: SULMAN HENRY LIVINGSTONE
Filed: 1906-10-11
Granted: 1907-10-10
Abstract: 22,534. Sulman, H. L. Oct. 11. Zinc sulphite; zinc bisulphite.-Relates to a process for recovering zinc from ores, compounds, and products, which is stated to be a variation of the process described in Specification No. 21,672, A.D. 1906. The zinc, if not already in the form of oxide, is converted thereto, and the product is treated with excess of sulphurous acid in the presence of sufficient water to dissolve the zinc bisulphite thus produced. Furnace gases rich in sulphurous acid may be employed to form the bisulphite. The solution is filtered off and the residue treated by known methods for the recovery of other metalliferous values. Any copper present is removed from the filtrate by scrap iron. A current of air is then passed through the bisulphite solution, the zinc being thereby precipitated as monosulphite, which is collected, dried, and calcined to produce zinc oxide, from which zinc may be obtained in the ordinary way. If the oxide is not sufficiently dense for distillation, it may first be moistened and compressed. The sulphurous acid resulting from the calcination may be used again for dissolving oxide from the roasted ore. Specification No. 1047, A.D. 1891, is referred to.

Title: Improvements in Commutators for Dynamo Electric Machines.

Granted: 1907-08-08
Abstract: 4240. Siemens - Schuckertwerke Ges. Feb. 21, 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Mounting and securing dynamo-electric commutators on shafts.-The commutators of dynamoelectric machines have conical clamping-rings at each end, intermediate between the seating rings and the spindle, and so arranged that, when the opposite rings are axially drawn together, in some cases against the action of an axially-acting spiral spring, a radial binding pressure against the external contracting ring is obtained so as to secure the commutator upon the shaft. The commutator is provided externally with the usual contracting rings s placed in position while hot, or with split clamping-rings. Instead of the usual single conical ring engaging the shaft, and the insulated periphery of an internal ring upon the commutator, two coacting conical rings are employed. The internal rings k, Figs. 1 and 3, are composed of separate segments, and may be constructed by slotting a closed ring in such a manner that the segments are connected at the outside by a solid disk. The seating rings r are coned on both sides, so that, when the rings r, s are caused to approach one another by tightening the nut m, between which and the ring r may be placed a longitudinally-acting spiral spring f, a firm axial and radial pressure on the commutator parts is obtained. One of the rings r may be replaced by a similarly shaped conical boss upon the shaft.
