Granted: 1907-03-07
Abstract: 12,386. Kreinsen, W. May 28. Couplings.-Contacts for electric circuits are formed so that the plug after being inserted can swing through 180 degrees. The box a has two projections b, b<1>, in which two funnel-shaped contact-pieces c, c<1> are bolted, each being connected to a fuse carried in the base. The cavities for the fuses are closed by a plate g held in position by springs. The plug is made in two parts k, k<1>, divided by a plate l and held together by means of a bolt m. The plug carries contact-pieces n, n<1>, forced apart by a spring s, which is guided by a rod r, the lower end of which passes through an insulating sleeve o. In a modified form of the plug, roller cartridge fuses are used, in which case they may form part of the contact-pieces n and be carried by the plug, or may be carried by the casing. In a further modification, the contactpieces n are forced inwards against the fuses carried by the casing a.

Granted: 1907-05-16
Abstract: 24,422. Ruthenburg, M. Nov. 1. Magnetic separators.-The powdered ore to be separated is distributed from a hopper J upon a belt H which travels between the continuous polepieces A<2>, A<3> of a double mushroom-shaped electromagnet A. The belt travels at the same velocity as the periphery of the pole-pieces. A non-magnetic channel piece D is secured between the polepieces and takes a rope M, which also passes round horizontal pulleys L and is driven at a higher velocity than the pole-pieces. The magnetic particles are attracted to the upper pole-piece, and the non-magnetic particles are carried away by the belt and discharged into a receptacle K. The magnetic particles are removed from the upper pole-piece by the rope M as it rubs against the pole-piece, and are discharged into receptacles N. The upper polepiece A<4> may be bevelled to concentrate the field, and non-magnetic flanges E may be arranged outside the pole - pieces and flush with the surface of the latter. More than one belt H may be employed.
