Inventor: OBEREGGER ANTON
Filed: 1899-11-20
Granted: 1900-02-17
Abstract: 23,094. Oberegger, A. Nov. 20. Sifting or screening minerals &c.- Relates to apparatus for sifting broken minerals and other materials. The screw propeller k, Fig. 1, feeds the materials from the hopper h to the rotary sifting-cylinder c, furnished with two meshes e, f, and having short helical plates g, preferably perforated, attached to its interior surface for the purpose of propelling the materials. The rings n rest on rollers which serve also to rotate the cylinder. Fig. 3 is a development of a portion of a cylinder, showing additional plates g<1> fixed at rightangles to the plates g. The cylinder may be of uniform mesh, the first half being surrounded by a co-axial cylinder of smaller mesh. The propulsion of the materials along the cylinder may be effected by a continuous helix, which preferably increases in pitch towards the tail end. The helix may be secured to an axial shaft so as to rotate independently of the cylinder, which may in that case be fixed, the lower part only being reticulated.

Title: Improvements in Machines for Winding Yarns or Threads.
Inventor: VOIGT RUDOLPH
Filed: 1900-01-16
Granted: 1901-01-16
Abstract: 974. Voigt, R. Jan. 16. Winding-machines.-Relates to cross-winding machines, and principally to means whereby the relative movements of the spindle and thread guide are varied as the bobbin increases in diameter, so that the several coils of yarn are laid parallel with one another. A method of calculation is given showing the relation between the diameter of the bobbin, the thickness of the yarn, the pitch of the coil of thread on the bobbin, and the number of coils or threads which can be laid side by side in the given pitch. The bobbin spindle 5 and the spindle carrying the cam disc 10, which reciprocates the thread-guide 6, are connected together by cone pulleys and spur gearing, the cone strap fork being mounted upon a sliding carriage, which is moved automatically as the bobbin increases in diameter. The bobbin slide 11 is mounted on a weighted cradle 25, which turns with the increasing diameter of the bobbin and moves a sliding cam which operates the strap fork carriage. The strap fork is mounted on a screwed spindle so that it can be adjusted at starting for any desired diameter of bobbin. Screw arrangements, instead of a sliding cam, may be used for automatically operating the strap fork carriage. Figs. 5 and 6 show arrangements whereby wear and tear caused by the cam 10 may be compensated. In Fig. 5, the edge of the cam engages between two pulleys 17, 18 carried by right and left-handed screws 19 on the slide 11 of the thread-guide 6 ; in Fig. 6, the pulleys 17 and 18 are conical, and are carried by adjustable screwed spindles, the edge of the cam being made of a corresponding form so as to properly engage with them. The weighted cradle 25, Fig. 4, carrying the thread-guide 6, is fitted with a projection 26, which, when the bobbin has attained a sufficient diameter, releases a spring lever 36, which is caused to engage a spring lever connected with the driving-belt fork and to apply a brake block to one of the cone drums. The starting-handle 22 operates the cradle 25 through the levers 30, 28, a projection on the cradle depressing the lever 36, when it is blocked by a weighted catch 52. There are three positions for the starting-handle 22 and lever 30. In the first posi,ion, shown in Fig. 1, the winding is taking place, the cradle 25 and lever 36 being free. When the winding is completed, and the machine is automatically stopped, the handle 22 is moved in the direction of the arrow until the nose 55 of the lever 30 engages with the notch 57 of the handle. This movement rotates the cradle 25, and moves the threadguide away from the bobbin, depressing the lever 36 and causing it to be blocked by the catch 52. When the handle 22 is turned further in the direction of the arrow, it operates a spring slide 59, which slides the full bobbin from the spindle 5. Mechanism is provided whereby the spring stop-rod is blocked until the starting- handle 22 is moved into its first position.

Abstract: 22,490. Bleyer, S. T. Dec. 10. Mechanical stoking.-Fuel is fed through a shoot 9 into a cylinder 8, and is forced forward therein by a piston 11. It then falls into a swinging shoot 12, which is connected to the piston by a rod 16. At the end of the cylinder is a hanging door 18, which may be connected to the piston so as to move with it, or it may hang freely. The piston is operated by an eccentric on the shaft 20, the shaft being rotated at a variable speed by ratchet gearing. The variable-speed ratchet gearing consists of several ratchet-wheels of different diameters, each with its own pawl. The pawls, two of which are shown at 27 and 29, are pivoted to a vertically-reciprocating rod 31, and those that are inoperative are held in a raised position by spring clips as shown at 29. In a modified arrangement, the swinging shoot has a lever arm projecting above its pivot, which is connected to the piston by a rod within the cylinder. The cylinder and swinging shoot are enclosed in a casing 7, which may be moved forward on the top of the furnace to give access thereto. This is done by the screw 39 or otherwise, the casing 7 being mounted on rollers which drop into sockets when it is in position. Though shown as applied to a downdraught steam-boiler furnace, the apparatus may be applied to furnaces of any kind.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Burning Pulverised Fuel.
Inventor: IMRAY OLIVER
Filed: 1901-01-22
Granted: 1901-08-03
Abstract: 1482. Imray, O., [Donaldson, W. J., Mears, W. A., and Emerick, G. S.]. Jan. 22. Pulverulent-fuel fittings.-The fuel is reduced to a finely-divided state in a mill, whence it is conveyed to a separator 7, Fig. 1, which returns the coarser particles to the mill and passes on the remainder to a hopper 13. The separator may be of any suitable kind. The hopper delivers the powdered fuel to a conveyer 12, whence it is injected into the steam-boiler furnace 50 through a nozzle 16 by a blast created by a fan 15. The main part of the invention consists in the application of a variable-speed belt gearing such as is described in Secification No. 9549, A.D. 1898, [Abridgment Class Mechanism &c.], to the automatic regulation of the speed of the screw of the conveyer. Referring to Fig. 2, the screw is driven by a pulley 30, while a pulley 26 receives motion from the engine which drives the fan. Upon shafts 22, 24 are splined pairs of cone pulleys 27, 28 which are connected by a belt 29 in the manner shown. The relative speed of the shafts 22, 24 is regulated by causing the members of each pair of pulleys to approach or separate from one another. This is effected by levers 31 adjustably fulcrumed in a right and left handed screw 23 and operated by a similar screw 25, which receives its motion from a ratchet-wheel 39 having oppositely-directed teeth on each face. The wheel is embraced by a fork 38, the prongs of which form pawls, and which is reciprocated by a crank 61 on the shaft 22. Either pawl is made to engage with the ratchet-wheel 39 by a piston 42, actuated by an adjustable spring 44, and by steam pressure communicated from the boiler 19 through the pipe 41.

Abstract: 24,008. Newton, H. E., [Hoe, R.]. Nov. 26. Cylinder machines; delivery apparatus; rotary machines.- Relates to (1) arrangements whereby one-revolution cylinder machines may be provided with a front delivery, and (2) gripper mechanism. Fig. 1 shows a sectional side elevation of a machine, of which 3 is the impression cylinder which co-operates with a frame 6 on the reciprocating bed 7, or it may co-operate with a rotary forme-carrier. The cylinder 3 has an impression surface 4, and another surface 5 which acts as a sheet support during delivery. On the ends of the cylinder 3 are sprocket teeth 21 for endless chains or carriers 20, also running on sprocket teeth on a cylinder 22. The chains 20 have, in the arrangement shown, three sets of sheetcarrying grippers, each consisting of a bar 24 and gripper fingers 25 on a shaft 26. One set of grippers takes a sheet from the feed-board 14, and applies it to the impression surface 4. The next set of grippers does not take a sheet. The third set of grippers also takes a sheet, and applies it to the surface 4. After printing, the sheet is carried by the grippers round the cylinder 22 and back to the cylinder 3, where the grippeis enter the gap 31, and the sheet is delivered to the switch 10 and tapes 8 or other suitable delivery mechanism. A roller 32 may co-operate with the surface 5 to deliver the sheet. The grippers are opened by pins 33, 34 engaging tumbler arms on the shafts 26, the pins being moved into and out of operative position so as to open and close the grippers at the proper times. Tapes 40 and guides 42 may be provided to support the sheet as it is carried from and to the cylinder 3. In another arrangement, the cylinder 3 has a set of grippers in each gap, and the carriers 20 are replaced by a gripper cylinder in contact with the cylinder 3. The sheet, after printing on the surface 4, is delivered to the gripper cylinder, which takes it round and transfers it to the grippers of the delivery surface 5, from which it is delivered as before described. Grippers are shown in Figs. 6 and 7 as applied to a front delivery carriage 101, and take the sheet from the impression cylinder 4. The grippers are positively closed to grip the sheet. Each pair of grippers consists of jaws 107, 108, of which 107 is a spring jaw adjustahly fixed on an arm 106 of a collar 105 fixed on the shaft 104. The jaw 108 is attached to collars 110 loose on the shaft 104. A shaft 112, having eccentric ends 113 by which it is journalled in the carriage 101, engages projections 109 on the jaws 108, and has also a pair of cams 114 engaging arms 115 of the shaft 104, so that, when the shaft 112 is turned, the jaws 107, 108 are moved positively towards each other. Springs 117 open the grippers when the shaft 112 permits The shaft 112 may be operated by a segment 120 operated by cams such as 123 &c
