Title: Improved Apparatus for Beating or Triturating and Refining Pulp or like Fibrous Material.
Inventor: ANNANDALE JAMES HUNTER
Filed: 1903-11-28
Granted: 1904-10-06
Abstract: 26,012. Annandale, J. H. Nov. 28. Rag-engines and other pulping engines; mixing pulp.-Relates to apparatus for beating, triturating, and refining paper pulp similar to that described in Specification No. 30,103, A.D. 1896. The pulp is fed under pressure by a pipe to a converging inlet or recess d, Fig. 1, formed in the end cover F<1>, and is acted on by inwardly-projecting stationary blades E on the casing D overlapping and fitting between radially-disposed or inclined cutter blades B on a revolving drum A mounted on a shaft C. The pulp then passes through the diverging outlet d' formed in the end cover F to the outlet pipe H. The shaft C is carried in bearings M, N, adjusted by screws O<3> to impart lateral travel to the shaft C, a spring P, compressed by a block O<1> on which the end of the screw spindle O bears, easing the dead pressure. The distance between the blades may thus be varied, an adjustable dead-block N preventing actual contact of the blades. When rags or woven materials are being triturated, the contacting edges of the blades B, E are serrated. If desired, the drum and casing may be made conical ; the casing may also be rotated. The drum A may be cast solid, or made up of discs, each alternate, and preferably thinner, disc A' being slotted to receive the blade B, which may also be secured by rings a on the discs entering the slots in the bars B. The casing may be constructed of a series of rings D<1>, slotted to receive the blades E and of wider spacing-rings D'. The rings D<1>, D<2> may be bolted together, and the casing D dispensed with.

Title: Improvements in Means for Improving the Efficiency of Elastic-fluid Turbines
Inventor: DODGE AUSTIN RICHARDSON
Filed: 1903-12-12
Granted: 1904-04-07
Abstract: 27,272. Dodge, A. R. Dec. 13, A.D. 1902, [date applied for under Patents Act, A.D. 1901]. Steam &c. turbines.-Consists of means for collecting and removing condensation water from an elastic-fluid turbine. The guide-vanes 7 have slits 12, Fig. 1<a>, formed in their concave surfaces, and the slits open into chambers 10 in the vanes connected to drainage passages 13. The centrifugal action on the heavy water particles as the steam sweeps round the curve of the vane causes the moisture to pass through the slits into the collecting chambers, while superheating is produced as the steam flows into the bowls 1<a> of the nozzles 1<b> of the next stage. The chambers may be formed in the wheel blades, or in both blades and vanes. A modification, adapted for a single wheel per stage turbine, is described. A collecting-chamber may be formed by fitting a perforated plate to the concave face of a vane, or the chambers may be formed in auxiliary rings containing chambered partitions. Ordinary vanes, Figs. 10 and 11, may be formed with slits communicating with drilled holes which lead to a collecting- chamber. The vane is provided with a cover.

Title: Improvements relating to Two Speed Free Wheel Hubs for Motor and other Cycles.
Inventor: RIVIERRE GASTON LOUIS CLEMENT
Filed: 1904-11-01
Granted: 1905-12-01
Abstract: 23,602. Rivierre, G. L. C. Nov. 2, A.D. 1903, [date applied for under Patents Act, A.D. 1901]. Driving-mechanism ; motor cycles.-Relates to wheel hubs for motor and other cycles, and consists in the construction and combination with the hub of one or two speed and free-engine gearing. Fig. 1 shows a form giving a single speed and free engine, and Figs. 2 and 3 show two forms giving an additional speed. (1) The hub 3, Fig. 1, may be rotated from either the pedal-driven, free-wheel pinion 5, or the motor-driven pulley or toothed wheel 4, or it may be disconnected from either, in order that the pedals may start the motor independently. The pulley 4 and free-wheel pinion 5 are both keyed to the sleeve 2, which is mounted loosely between the fixed axle 1 and the hub 3. A suitable clutch 8 connects the pulley 4 to the hub 3 when required. The pinion 5 may be loose on the sleeve 2 and provided on either side with teeth which may engage with corresponding teeth on the hub 3 or the end of the sleeve 2. (2) The right-hand side of the hub described above may be modified as shown in Fig. 2, to form a twospeed epicyclic gear. The rotating pinions 15 are mounted on a plate 16 fixed to the sleeve 2, and gear with the loosely-mounted pinion 14 and internally-toothed crown 17, the latter being rigid with the hub. The hub may be driven directly, the pinions 14 being then allowed to rotate freely with the hub and sleeve 2, or it may be driven from the sleeve 2 through the epicyclic gearing, the pinion 14 being then held by a brake. (3) In the bevel-wheel modification shown in Fig. 3, the sleeve 2 is divided into two parts, the inner ends of which are provided with bevel-wheels 18 gearing into planetary bevel-wheels 19 mounted on shafts secured in the socket 21 and hub 3. The pedal-driven free-wheel pinion 5 and motor-driven pinion 4 are both keyed upon the right-hand part of the sleeve 2. A clutch member 24 is adapted to slide on a key on the left-hand part of the sleeve 2, and clutch the hub and sleeve together under the action of the spring 23. The hub may then be propelled directly at the highest speed by either the motor or the pedals. On disconnection of the clutch, the engine runs freely, or may be started by the pedals. If the clutch member 24 is disconnected and held by a brake, the hub is driven at half-speed from the right-hand part of the sleeve.

Abstract: 153. Howorth, F. W., [Winton, A., and Anderson, H. B.]. Jan. 2. Motor road vehicles.-Relates to rear axle driving- mechanism for automobiles, and consists in an arrangement of the compensating-gear, and of the means for connecting the two compensating-shafts to the differential gear and to the road wheels, the object being to ensure that the rear driving-axle receives only a torsional strain. The casing 1 of the differential gear is divided horizontally into two parts, and is bolted to the fixed axles 2, the outer ends of which are connected by a truss rod 4 passing behind the gear casing. The bevel-wheel 7 is driven by a pinion 25, and is connected to a casing 8, which is divided in a plane perpendicular to the axle, the two parts being connected by bolts which serve also as the bearings for the planet pinions 9. The pinions 11 driving the two parts of the axle are journaled in the casing 8, the latter being supported on adjustable roller bearings by the fixed gear casing 1. The inner peripheries of the driving-pinions 11 are shaped so as to receive the preferably rectangular ends of the driving-axles between which a fibre washer is interposed. The hub 26 of the road wheel is supported from an extension of the fixed axle 2 by means of cone surfaces and roller bearings, one bearing being on each side of the vertical plane of the wheel, and the outer bearing being adjustable, by means of a nut provided with a locking-device. This consists of a ring provided with several pin openings, and an inwardly-extending projection, fitting into a recess in the axle. A pin projecting from the adjustable nut is adapted to fit any one of the holes in the ring. The outer end of the driving-axle 16 is formed square and receives a clutch member 44, which has teeth or the like adapted to engage in corresponding recesses in the hub 26 of the road wheel. The member 44 is kept in place by a hub cap 49, a fibre washer being interposed. The driving-axle 16 may be removed after the hub cap is unscrewed, and when this is effected, the differential gear may be taken from its casing. The spur differential gear may be replaced by bevel-gearing.

Granted: 1908-02-27
Abstract: 6216. Guilleteau [known as Chaput], L. V. March 14. Artificial leather for belts or tyre covers is prepared from a mixture of ramie fibres and an agglomerant consisting essentially of dextrin, gelatin, and balata gum. In one example, ¢ kilo of balata gum dissolved in toluene and 1À8 kilos of dextrin are added to 72 litres of water at 95‹ C. To the solution so obtained is added 4À5 kilos of glycerine, À07 kilos of sodium silicate, and 18À13 kilos of gelatin ; 3 kilos of ramie fibres is then incorporated with the mixture in a heated kneading- machine. The material is moulded, dried, passed through pressing-rolls, and finally immersed in a solution of formaldehyde for a short time. A stronger product may be obtained by increasing the proportion of balata.
