Granted: 1902-04-17
Abstract: 5359. Mason, V. W. March 4. Screening stones &c.-Relates to the construction of rotary cylindrical screens suitable for heavy work, such as the screening of stones. The frame of the screen consists of end rings f, g connected by longitudinal bars h to which the screen sections i are bolted. The rings f, g are provided with tracks 30, 40, which roll on antifriction wheels d supported on brackets at each end of the screen. The antifriction wheels are coned to the same angle as that at which the screen is inclined. The ring f is also provided with a track 50 resting against an antifriction roll e, which thus serves to take the end thrust of the screen. Annular guards k formed in sections bolted to the bars h serve both to strengthen the frame and to prevent stones from falling into the bin associated with the next division of the screen. A shoot formed of a bottom plate u and side-plates u<1> directs the materials into the cylinder, and the large stones &c. are delivered clear of the roll e by means of an imperforate extension n of the cylinder. The upper end of the screen is surrounded by a dust-separating cylinder formed in sections bolted to supports carried by the bars h. Dust passes through the small perforations in this cylinder, but the small stones tail over to join those which fall directly from the exposed part of the first division of the screen. A sprocket-wheel o receives the chain by which the screen is driven. Figs. 2 and 4 show two methods of mounting the end thrust-roll e. In Fig. 2 the roll is shown mounted on a stud e<1> set in a bashing e<2> contained in a bearing e<5> adjustable longitudinally of the screen by means of screws e<9>. Bolts e<7> and lateral set-screws hold the bearing in the adjusted position. An oil receptacle e<12> extends upwards into a recess in the roll e, and the bushing is closed at e<13> to prevent escape of the oil. The bushing may be of manganese steel. In the modification shown in Fig. 4 a gasket e<20> is secured to the lower end of the stud e<1>, and a dished cap e<21> forms a receptacle for the oil.

Patent GB-190300188-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Field Windings of Electrical Machines, Motors, Dynamos and the like.
Inventor: THOMPSON WILLIAM PHILLIPS
Filed: 1903-01-03
Granted: 1903-02-19
Abstract: 188. Thompson, W. P., [Berliner Maschinenbau-Act.- Ges. vorm. L. Schwartzkopff]. Jan. 3. Field magnets.- Indynamos, motors, rotary converters, and like machines, with continuous - current excitation, the field magnets are so wound as to equalize or render innocuous the reaction of the armature. A winding similar to a threephase winding is employed, consisting essentially of three windings, one of which serves to produce the main exciting-field and the other two an equalizing-field opposed in direction and equal in strength to the armature field. The main exciting- winding and the equalizing - windings may be' variously connected and supplied with current. In the arrangement shown in Fig, 7, the main winding I is connected in shunt across the armature, while the eqnalizing - windings II, III are inserted in series with the armature. This arrangement may be varied by connecting the main winding in shunt across both the armature and the equalizing-windings, or by connecting the equalizing-windings in parallel with each other. In another arrangement, Fig. 9, the main winding I and the equalizing-windings II, III are all connected in series with the armature. Fig. 11 shows an arrangement for continuous and alternating current machines, in which in a special source of current e supplies all three windings, the equalizing- field being regulated by an adjustable resistance. Alternatively, the main winding and the equalizing- windings may be supplied from separate sources. Fig. 13 shows an arrangement applicable to singlephase and polyphase machines, in which the main winding is supplied from a separate source h, and the equalizing-windings from an alternating-tocontinuous-current transformer u. An alternating- current machine and its exciter may have their main windings connected together in series, as also their equalizing-windings. The two equalizing - windings may have different numbers of ampere-turns, for the purpose of strengthening or weakening the main field. This strengthening or weakening effect may be varied by means of an adjustable resistance, so as to vary the electromotive force of a generator, the speed of a motor, or the phase displacement in a transformer.

Title: Improvements in Carriers for Pneumatic Service Systems.
Filed: 1903-06-18
Granted: 1904-04-14
Abstract: 13,631. Lamson Pneumatic Tube Co., and Burl, H. June 18. Pneumatic despatch apparatus. - Relates to carriers, and consists of means for securing the usual felt or like blocks or rings, which form the packing or air check of the carrier, so that they may readily be replaced when worn, the means employed also serving to connect the outer and inner casings of the carrier. In an open-ended carrier, Fig. 1, the open ends of the tubes 1, 2, have shoulders 3, 4 respectively, between which a packing 5 of felt or other material is placed. The tube 1 is closed at the bottom, while the tube 2 has an inturned shoulder 7 upon which rests a disc 8 carrying screws 9. The two tubes are clamped by means of a nut, in a countersunk hole in a felt block 12, engaging the screw 9, distance-pieces 10 being provided, soldered or otherwise fixed to the tube 1, or loose, or screwed on the screw 9. The block 12 is thus readily removable. The disc 8 may carry the usual spring 15 under which the message is slipped and retained. In a closed carrier, Fig. 2, provided with side openings 16, 17 in the outer and inner tubes respectively, an inwardly-projecting shoulder 18 is formed on the open end 19 of the inner tube. When the tubes are rotated, the screws 9, holding the parts together as before, come into engagement with the shoulder 18, so that the parts cannot be turned more than sufficient for the openings 16, 17 to correspond with or miss each other as required. A disc 20 carrying the screws 9 is dished, as shown, to form a distance-piece, and so prevents the tubes 1, 2 from being screwed together too tightly. Felt blocks 12 are attached to both ends of the carrier in this case.

Abstract: 14,699. Minte, W. July 1. Potato diggers.- The potatoes are separated from the tops and earth by means of two endless sifting and elevating bands between the excavator and the collecting basket, the tops being sometimes previously raised from the ground and cut up by special apparatus fixed in front of the excavator. Fig. 1 is a sectional side view of the digger, and Fig. 6 is a side view of one form of the cutting- apparatus. The excavator 2 is longer than usual and is closed on one side and at the back by walls 3, 4. Rotating vanes 6 throw the potatoes &c. on to the wide-meshed upper band 9 which discharges the tops at the back of the machine, but allows the potatoes and earth to fall on to the lower and shorter band 10. The smallmeshed band 10 separates the potatoes from the earth, and discharges them into a basket placed in a frame which is open at the sides and mounted on wheels 13. Both bands may be provided with spikes or pins to prevent the material from falling off, and may be shaken by means of cam shafts. In the cutting-apparatus shown in Fig. 6, one or more of which may be attached to any potato digger, a rotary knife 17 is mounted in a slot in an iron knee-piece 15, and is driven by means of a chain guided by rollers 22 and passing round a wheel 18, which is protected by a plate. The lower end of the piece 15 is pivoted in front and rounded at the bottom so as to raise the potato tops. It is hinged at 19, but cannot move back beyond a certain point. A guard 20 prevents the top from escaping upwards. In another form, the hinge 19 is below the cutter 17.
