Granted: 1906-05-29
Abstract: 6611. Tee, H. March 29. Salt, common.- Relates to the production of purified salt from rock salt, and consists in improvements on the process described in Specification No. 8117, A.D. 1903. Reference is also made to Specifications No. 9884, A.D. 1892, and No. 4 6 6 1, A.D. 1891. The salt is melted and is treated with steam, steam and air, carbonic acid, carbonic oxide, water gas, producer gas, combustion gases, or mixtures of the above gases. Fig.1 shows a cupola furnace in which the process may be carried out. The charge of rock salt is contained in the shaft a, which communicates by the neck e with the hearthchamber c ; arches b support the charge and prevent its coagulation, and the inclined walls d prevent the lower portions of the charge from falling bodily on to the hearth. The air and gases are supplied by openings f, f<1> from belts g, g<1>, and after combustion pass up through and melt the charge in the shaft. The molten salt is then treated in the chamber c by air, steam, &c. forced in through the pipes i<1>, i, and is finally drawn off through a tap hole. In a modified form of this furnace, a secondary receptacle is provided outside the furnace, into which the molten salt is run to be treated with air or gases forced in through a pipe with a rose or perforated end. Solid fuel may be mixed with the charge of salt to assist in preventing clogging. The slag and impurities may be run off with the molten salt and separated in the settling-vessel, or the salt and slag may be drawn off separately to a large extent. The Provisional Specification also states that with the furnace a suitable heat-interchanger may be provided to utilize the waste gases for heating the air blast ; also that an open-hearth furnace provided with a conduit for introducing and effecting preliminary heating of the salt, or an open-hearth tilting furnace, may be used.

Abstract: 26,192. Johnson, J. Y., [Graepel, A.]. Nov. 19. Roller mills; roller-and-breast mills; systems for reducing grain.-Relates to combined grinding and dressing apparatus for grain &c. Conducting- shelves or guiding-bottoms 2,3,4,5 extending over, between, and under the grinding-rolls 6, 7 convey the ground grain to the rotary sitter 1 and return the unsifted portions to the grinding-rolls, helical feeders arranged between the shelves and either outside or inside the sifter serving to raise the material. Conducting-shelves may be arranged in conjunction with one or more rows of grinding- rolls at each end of the sifter. The grinding- apparatus may consist of several rolls of different diameters carried by a common shaft and working with corresponding rolls mounted on another shaft. Or single rolls and plates or concaves 12 may be used, and the concaves may reciprocate either at right-angles or parallel to the roller axles. The ground material falls from the first roll 6 of the upper row of rolls into the first compartment of the bottom 3, and is raised by a helical feeder to the uppermost sieve of the top half of the sifter. The sifted portion falls into the discharge passage 13, and the pollard collects in the first compartment of the lowermost collecting-bottom of the top half of the sifter, whence it passes into the next compartment and is raised to the second compartment of the guiding-bottom 2 and delivered to the second roll 6 of the upper row of rolls. This action is repeated in each compartment of the upper half of the plansifter, until the pollard that reaches the last compartment of the lowermost collecting-bottom is left on the guiding-bottom 4 which delivers to the end roll 7 of the lower row of rolls, by which the material is treated similarly to the manner described for the upper rolls 6.

Patent GB-190700022-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Coal Shipping Hoists or like Appliances.
Inventor: TAYLOR JOHN
Filed: 1907-01-01
Granted: 1907-12-31
Abstract: 22. Taylor, J. Jan. 1. Loading and unloading.-Relates to coal-shipping hoists of the type described in Specification No. 4870, A.D. 1906, and comprises a supplementary shaft arranged to operate the chain for automatically discharging the skip at any prearranged height, together with means for adjusting both the. inner and outer ends of the jib-arms in relation to the hoist frame. Figs. 3 and 4 show one arrangement of the supplementary shaft for discharging the skip. This shaft 4 carries drums 9 at either end and is fitted at the outer end of the jib-arms in place of the usual stay-rod. Chains 7 on the drums 9 are fixed to points on the skip, and relieve the tension in the winding chains 6 at a predetermined point, thereby allowing the weight of the load to discharge the skip. In other cases, the chains 7, or a single chain connected to a central drum, may be connected toa lever forreleasing the doors of the skip. The chains 7 are shortened to vary the point of discharge, by a ratchet device, the pawl 13 of which is connected to a reciprocating lever. A second ratchet-wheel 14 on the drum is engaged by a pawl 15, which prevents rotation of the drum in the reverse direction during normal working. By raising the pawls and hauling on the chain, the latter can be unwound from the drums. A suitable brake on the drum 16 is operated by the cord 10 to control the descent of the skip. Fig. 7 shows another arrangement of the shafts for discharging the skip, in which the discharging - drums 9 are loosely mounted on the winding-drum shaft, and are connected by spur gearing to a lighter shaft 20 carrying a ratchet-wheel 26 retained by a pawl 25 on the stay-rod. The shaft 20 is rotated by an endless chain running over the pulley 24, and this method may be used in place of the ratchet device to rotate the drum shaft in the form of apparatus previously described. Fig. 1 shows the method of adjusting the jib-arms on the hoist frame. The inner ends of the arms are connected to sliding shoes 40 which have holes registering with similar holes on the hoist frame, so that the shoes can be fixed in position by transverse pins. The shoes are connected by ropes 32 to worm lifting-gear 35 for purposes of adjustment. The outer ends of the arms are connected by ropes 39 to suitable clutching or holding devices 37 on the framing. To adjust the arms at these points, the ropes 39 are connected to clutches 60 on the moving cradle of the hoist, which is raised or lowered to position the arms after the release of the clutches 37.
