Title: Improvements in Grinding or Abrading Machines.
Inventor: NEWMAN HENRY WALTERS
IPC: B24B3/24
Filed: 1909-05-06
Granted: 1910-05-06
Abstract: 10,751. Newman, H. W. May 6. Disk and wheel apparatus twist drills, sharpening. - A machine for grinding and backing-off simultaneously the two cutting - edges of twist, straight-fluted, or ordinary flat drills and other tools, such as key-grubs and end-slotting cutters, is constructed with two grinding-disks arranged at an angle to each other and capable of oscillating about axes parallel to their grinding-faces, so that the grinding and backing-off of the edges is accomplished without necessitating any other than an axial feeding-movement of the tool. The disks 1, 2 are mounted on spindles 3, 4, carried in bearings 5, 6 which are pivoted on adjustable screws 7 in forked standards 8, 9 adjustable along guides 13 in the bed-plate 14. The disks are placed with their peripheries in close proximity, and their faces at an angle corresponding to the angle of the point of the drill 30. The disks are rocked about the pivots 7 by means of adjustable links 18, 19 pivoted to pins 21, 22 adjustable in guides in disks 23, 24 driven from a pulley 29. The drill 30 is carried by a vertically-adjustable table 31 symmetrically placed between the disks and having a yoke 43 for retaining the drill in position in the grooved drill-holder 41. When a drill is placed in the holder and pressed into contact with the disks, they grind the two cutting-edges of the drill, and, being rocked over in opposite directions by the mechanism beneath the machine bed, effect a curvilinear backing-off behind each of the cutting- edges, the only movement of the drill being an axial reciprocation to follow the movement of the disks. The amount of backing-off is determined by the adjustment of the pins 21, 22 in the disks 23, 24. For grinding flat drills, the bearings 5, 6 may be locked at the angle required to give the desired bevel to the cutting-edges. The disks are driven through pulleys 10, 11, and their axes may converge, diverge, or be parallel to suit the cutting- edges of the tools to be ground.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Sugar Crystallising Processes.
Inventor: KESTNER PAUL
IPC: C13B30/02
Filed: 1910-02-26
Granted: 1911-01-05
Abstract: 4855. Kestner, P. Feb. 26, 1909, [Convention date]. Crystallizing ; saccharine solutions, concentrating and crystallizing.-The syrup from the multipleeffect apparatus is passed through a continuous evaporator 1, of the type described in Specification 12,502/06, and is then progressively cooled by passage through a series of crystallizers 6 ... 10, the cooling-medium flowing in the reverse direction. In order to reduce the quotient of purity the syrup leaving the evaporator is mixed either with syrup water, derived from the centrifugal 11 by a pipe 14 and pump 12, or with masse-cuite, derived from the crystallizer 8, for example. In the latter case, the masse-cuite furnishes nuclei for the production of crystals. A refrigerator or heater 13 brings the mass to the temperature requisite for the formation of crystals. The crystallizers may be provided with stirrers and with false bottoms for the cooling-medium, or with a rotary cooling- coil of serpentine form. The modification of the syrup during evaporation at high temperatures is obviated by the construction of the evaporator, which is such that the syrup remains therein about one minute only.

Abstract: 4923. Cox, F. S., and Flavell, J. Feb. 28. Brake mechanism.-Brakes for cycles or motor-cycles, of the type in which the yoke is made in two parts adapted to be detached from the brake-rod to allow the easy removal of the wheel, are constructed so that the sides of the yoke are attached to the brake rod by pegs on the rod engaging corresponding holes in the yoke sides, and are held in position by a sleeve passing down over their upper ends. The holes 10 in the upper longitudinally curved extensions 6 of the yoke members 1 pass over pegs 9, which may be integral with the brake-rod 7, or may be formed on a nut 8 adjustable on the rod. To retain the yoke-arms in position, a split sleeve 12 passes down over them and is held firmly in position by means of a nut and bolt. A complete cylindrical sleeve may be used instead of a split one, and may be held in position by an eye-bolt 16, Fig. 11, or may fit tightly over the yoke-ends, and have no other securing- means.

Title: Process and Apparatus for Extracting Ammoniacal Salts from Dry Distillation Gases which have been Freed from Tar.
Inventor: KURT HUESSENER
IPC: C01C1/24
Filed: 1910-03-18
Abstract: 6900. Huessener, K., Schaefer, J., and Henss, E. Sept. 8, 1909, [Convention date]. Void. [Published under Section 91 of the Act.] Ammonium salts are obtained from dry tarfreed distillation gas by injecting acid into the gas by injectors and other suitable devices such as nozzle-pipes, spraying-pipes, centrifugal apparatus, &c. The acid is preferably at a lower temperature than the gas, and, if introduced under pressure, may serve to assist the conveyance of the gas, while gas pumps may be dispensed with altogether if the above-described method is used for the removal of tar and water as well as of ammonia. The treatment may take place in a separate washing-vessel or in the gas conduit, which may be enlarged for this purpose. Excess of water can be eliminated by heating. The washing is preferably conducted at a higher temperature than usual for instance over 120‹ C. The claims also include the following matter: the gases are freed from particles of acid by conveying them under the washing- liquid, this being effected by extending the washing-vessel into the acid-collecting receptacle; and the nozzles and other acid - feed devices and all parts of the apparatus coming into contact with the acid, are made of fused quartz.
