Granted: 1910-07-28
Abstract: 8841. Griffiths, C. H. April 12. Explosions, preventing in grinding and crushing mills.-Relates to that type of apparatus for preventing dust explosion in mills for grinding or crushing malt or other grain &c., in which the capacity of a delivery chamber beneath the rollers varies automatically in proportion to the quantity of ground material passing through, the passage being thus maintained full and free from air spaces. A delivery passage e beneath the rollers a, a<1> is formed by means of a plate c, which is pivotally mounted at c' and is pressed towards the roller a by a spring d. The size of the outlet e<1> from this passage is automatically regulated according to the movement of the plate c, which engages a screw i on a rocking bracket f adapted to turn a pivoted plate h about the ends of bolts j. A lip c<2> on the plate c prevents the flour &c. from passing too rapidly owing to vibration.
Patent GB-191010237-A (GB)
Title: Deep Boring Apparatus for Rotary and Jumper Action Boring.
Inventor: KARL LAMITSCHKA
IPC: E21B6/00
Filed: 1910-04-26
Abstract: 10,237. Lamitschka, K. April 27, 1909, [Convention date]. Void. [Published under Section 91 of the Act.] Bore-hole apparatus.-A deepboring machine may be used for rotary and percussive boring, either separately or in combination, and may also be used for sinking shafts. In the form shown in Fig. 1, for percussive boring, a cam disk 3 is rotated and acts througli a cam disk 4 and a frame, comprising plates 5, 8 and screwed sleeves 7, to raise and drop the boring rods 14 which are connected by screws 16 and blocks 15 to a member B rotatably mounted on the plate 8. Hydraulic cylinders 10 and springs 9 form a cushion to prevent breakage of the rods. Blocks 13 are inserted between the plates 5, 8 to relieve the sleeves 7. For rotary boring, the rods 14 are released, the blocks 13 removed, and the plate 8 is lowered by simultaneously rotating the sleeves 7 by means of a chain 22 and chain wheels. The blocks 15 are then adjusted to engage slots in a hollow shaft 2 secured to the cam-disk 4. and a disk having a key and groove engagement with the boring rods is screwed to the member B. If the cam-disk 3 is now rotated in the opposite direction, the cam-disk 4, shaft 2, the member B, and the boring-rods are also rotated. For quickly securing or releasing the boring-rods, the member B may be provided with a worm 29 and worm wheel 25, Fig. 6, which act through cams 26 and half-rings 28 to operate the clamping-blocks 15. The cam-disks 3, 4, Fig. 1, may be replaced by a coupling, shown in Figs. 7 and 10, by means of which, percussive boring, rotary boring in either direction or combined rotary and percussive boring may be effected. The lower member 3, Fig. 10, carries balls 36 arranged in three rings of four, two, and two balls respectively. The upper member 4, Fig. 7, has cam teeth 37 similarly arranged, the ends 38 of these teeth being yieldable against spring or fluid pressure in order to cushion or to vary the strength of the blows during percussive boring. Either the upper or lower member may be secured to the hollow shaft 2. If the member 3 is rotated in one direction and is not attached to the shaft 2, the balls 36 may act against the cam teeth 37 to give percussive boring, or teeth 32 may engage teeth 34 on a movable sleeve 33 to give rotary boring. If the member 3 is rotated in the opposite direction, the balls 36 engage the ends of the teeth 37 to give rotary boring. If the member 3 is clamped to the shaft 2 and the boring-rods are arranged to take part both in the vertical movement of the member 4 and in the rotation of the shaft 2, combined rotary and percussive boring is obtained. For raising the boring-rods 14, the plate 8 is lowered on to the plate 5, and, by means of the jaws 15, the shaft 2 and rods 14 are secured. Fluid is then pumped into the cylinders 10 to loosen the rods, and the plate 8 is then raised.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Electrical Time Switches.
IPC: G04C23/34
Filed: 1910-06-06
Granted: 1911-07-06
Abstract: 13,704. Hamilton, W., and Ferranti, Ltd. June 6. Switches, quick-action; clockwork actuation. - In an electric time switch, a switch blade 18 adapted to move between stops 19, 21 is connected either permanently or intermittently to a link, which is, in turn, connected either intermittently or permanently, respectively, to a lever movable from a time disk 1 to operate the switch, an additional lever being provided to trip the intermittent connexion and permit the reverse action of the switch. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the time disk 1 carries clamps 41, 42 on its periphery with extensions on which are mounted pins 5, 6 for operating the levers 7, 12. The ' on ' lever 7 is connected to a lever 10 having a catch 50 which engages a slot in the switch blade. When the lever 7 is released by the pin 5, the switch blade is drawn over to the contact 19 by a spring 9. The 'off ' lever 12 is connected to the lever 10 by a link 11 and, when operated by the pin 6, raises the catch 50 clear of the slot in the switch blade, which then springs back to the stop 21. In a modification shown in Fig. 7, the switch blade 18 is permanently connected to a link 25 provided with a catch which is engaged by a pin 24 on a lever 23 in order to close the switch when the lever 23 has been actuated by the pin 5. The connexion between the link 25 and the lever 23 is tripped by a bell-crank lever 27 when this is engaged by the pin 6.

Abstract: 8433. Haydon, W., and Catt, A. E. April 4. Electricity administering; electric motor mechanism. - Relates more particularly to machines furnished with a battery, which, after a coin has been inserted in the machine, is placed in circuit with a motor, or with an induction coil and a pair of handles, for apredetermined time. After prepayment, a pin p on a lever 3 is raised from engagement with a notch 14 in a disk 11 so as to free a clock-work mechanism. During the first part of the rotation of the disk 11, a pin 20 adjacent to the notch 14 moves from under a projection 17 on a spring-controlled lever 15, whereupon that lever turns and closes, through contacts 16, 19, the circuit of an electro-motor or of an induction coil 22 connected to handles 23, 26. When the disk has completed a half-revolution, the lever 3 enters the second notch 14 and stops the clockwork, and the pin 20 rocks the lever 15 and breaks the circuit. The pins 20 may be dispensed with and the projection 17 adapted to co-operate with the notches 14. Coin action, mechanical-connexion.-The lever 3 is rocked to free the disk 11 by the inserted coin, which is pressed against the lever by a second lever 4 connected by links 5, 6, 7 to an external handle 9.

In one modification, Fig. 1, the induction motor has a two-phase armature winding (not shown) supplying current to a drum winding arranged in slots n in an iron ring r, this being driven from the motor shaft. The external iron system surrounding the windings of the commutator machine may be keyed to the shaft of the rotor so as to rotate therewith, and may be displaceable axially thereon; the air-gap between the external iron system and the windings may be filled up with non- magnetic material such as wood. In a modification, Fig. 5, air gaps may be arranged between some of the teeth; or the teeth may be joined together to form slots, the saturation of the iron being varied by placing iron or non- magnetic material in the slots. Adjustment may be effected manually or automatically. Fig. 8 shows an arrangement in which the thickness and.saturation of the external iron system may be altered by adding or removing concentric iron rings. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) states also that the ring r, Fig. 1, may rotate within an unwound stator either provided with projecting poles or comprising a uniform ring with commutating slots.
