Title: Improved Means for Screening Coke and other Materials.
IPC: B07B1/12
Filed: 1915-02-03
Granted: 1915-09-09
Abstract: 1700. Ordish, F. W., and Dempster & Sons, R. Feb. 3. Separating by passing over or through graduated apertures.-Coke or other material is screened or graded by being slowly propelled over a fixed-bar screen in which are slots or openings through which the smaller particles fall. The bars in successive sections of the screen may be differently spaced apart, and may be secured to hinged cross-bars forming doors for the ejection of unscreened material. The propulsion of the material along the screen is effected by rakes or fins which project through the bars. According to the construction shown in Fig. 1, material from a feeding-hopper 1 is delivered on to a screen 2 of fixed bars, along which it is propelled by rakes 3 projecting between the bars. The rakes are carried on a reciprocating frame 4, which runs on rollers on a rising and falling track 6, the track being raised and lowered by a bell-crank lever 7. A rocking lever 10, pivoted at 9 to a fixed frame 8 and actuated by a crank 11, alternately drives pawls 12, 13. By means of gear-wheels, cranks 16, 18, and rods 17, 19, the lower and upper arms of the lever 7 are alternately actuated, imparting to the rakes 3 a rectangular movement, as indicated by the arrows in the diagram a, their return stroke being accomplished while their tips are at a level below the surface of the screen. In a modification, the rakes are hinged and mounted on a frame reciprocating on a fixed track, stops preventing the hinged rakes from giving way on the forward stroke. Hinged baffle-plates may, however, be employed to prevent any material from being carried back.

Filed: 1915-03-15
Abstract: 4046. Lundberg, A. P., Lundberg, G. C., Lundberg, P. A., and Pegg, G. March 15. Switches, quick - action. - In a turn-button snap-action switch, a four-armed controlling- member B, Fig. 5, capable of movement in two directions only at right-angles to each other, within the four channel-shaped arms of a fixed guide-member A, is operated by the clockwise rotation of a cam 6 mounted on the operating- spindle 7 and enga.ging a hole 4 in the controlling-member. A contact-carrying member D of snail-shape, with a downwardly-extending radial projection 11 and a downwardly-extending circumferential projection 10, is threaded loosely on the spindle 7 over the controlling-member B and is kept in place, with each of its projections engaging an arm of the controlling- member, as shown in Fig. 5, by means of a pin 14, Fig. 6, on the spindle. A spiral spring E is secured between the spindle and the contact-carrying member and is normally stressed so as to tend to move the contact - carrying member D in the clockwise direction, which movement is prevented by the engagement of the projection 10 with the arm 3, and to tend to move the spindle 7 and cam 6 in a counterclockwise direction, which is prevented by the consequent tendency of the cam 6 to move in a counter-clockwise direction, causing the arm 3<c> to move into engagement with the face 11<a> of the projection 11. In operation, on rotating the spindle in the clockwise direction, the controlling-member is moved by the cam 6 so that the arm 3 is moved inwards, and, when the spring has been sufficiently further stressed, the projection 10 escapes from the arm, and a rapid make or break of the contact - carrying member results. The contact-carrying member consequently takes up a position with its projections lying between the arms 3, 3<a> analogous to its first position. The operating-spindle and contact-carrying member are capable of movement in the clockwise direction only.

In a machine as shown in Fig. 1, the stone is mounted on a truck 22 carried by an elevator 18 vertically adjustable in an elevator 8 carrying the clamps 31, and is dressed by a pair of oppositely-disposed cutters 40, 41, which are traversed along guide-bars by hydraulic rams. The in-feeding rams move at a slower speed than the out-feeding rams, and one of the in-feeding rams has a longer stroke than the other, so as to overlap the inward position of the second ram and thus avoid the formation of ridges, the second infeeding ram being reversed before the first has completed its forward stroke. The elevator 8 is vertically adjustable by screws 6 and worm gear, and the elevator 18 is adjustable therein by screws 17 traversed by nuts rotated by chain and bevel gear 14, 11 from a shaft 10. The pairs of clamps are independently adjusted by worm gear 25 and right and left hand screws 27, the clamping-jaws being mounted in recesses therein and engaging balls 33 at their rear ends, so that the jaws may adjust themselves to irregular surfaces. When one side of the stone has been dressed and the stone turned over, the clamps are provided with a cover-plate for engaging this side of the stone, the angle of the engaging surface of the cover-plate determining the angle of the second cut. A series of cuts of varying thickness on each surface of the stone is taken. The cutters are clamped by screws 39 in contact with adjusting-screws 38 in a carrier 37 mounted in holders 36.
