Abstract: 26,661. Sandycroft Foundry Co., and Dunn, J. C. Nov. 16. Lifting-dogs and the like. -A device for raising and holding up heavy bars, such as the stamp-stems of stamp-mills, consists of a saddleshaped piece a, Figs. 2 and 3, adapted to be applied to the bar e from one side, the bar being gripped in the saddle by a moving member or pawl g at one side pressing the bar into a recess at the other side, while the device is held up by shackles b attached to chains, which may pass clear over the top of the stem. The pawl is mounted so as to swing vertically on a bolt h between lugs d, and is formed with a hole m, which is half round on the outer side and square on the inner side. The bolt has a heavy handle k, and is formed with a flat l to allow the pawl to move back when the flat portion is turned towards the stem. The inside of the saddle and the end of the pawl may be roughened to increase the grip.

Granted: 1911-09-07
Abstract: 30,393. Frigerio, M. Dec. 31. Rotary stirrers; discharging - appliances.- Relates to dough mixing and kneading machines of the type in which rotary beaters act in a rotating trough which can be tilted to discharge the dough, and consists in arranging the driving- gear for the beaters within a central column about which the trough rotates, in forms of beaters, and in means for tilting the trough. The column 3, which contains the spindle 11 by which the beaters are driven, is expanded at its lower end to form a housing for the gearwheels 18, 41 by means of which the trough 1 is rotated. At the upper end of the column 3 is a chamber 23 containing a skew-wheel 29 which drives the spindles of the beaters 31, 38. Only one beater may be used, in which case the skew-wheel 29 may be replaced by bevel-gearing. The beater 31 consists of two arms of circular section bent into a square form to fit the trough as shown. A fixed scraper may be provided to prevent the dough from adhering to the beater. More than two arms bent similarly may also be used. The heater 38 is of helical form as shown. The apparatus is supported on one side by the driving-shaft 8 and on the other bv a pivoted nut 44 on a screw 45. The screw 45 is oppositely threaded at its lower end where it passes through a nut supported in trunnions 49, Fig. 4. To the screw is secured a skew-wheel 51 by a key and key-way 55, and the skew-wheel can be rotated by a spindle 53 and second skew-wheel 52, thus raising the screw 45 and the nut 44 thereon.
