Title: An Improved Method of Sorting and Transporting Magnetic Mineral.
Inventor: GRANSTROEM GUSTAF ABRAHAM
Filed: 1905-11-06
Granted: 1906-11-01
Abstract: 22,731. Granst÷m, G. A., and Lundbohm, H. Nov. 6. Cranes; lifting by magnets; loading and unloading.-Relates to the application of known apparatus, in which a crane is combined with an electromagnet which may be lifted and lowered, for sorting iron ores or other minerals of different magnetic properties, and the loading and unloading of such minerals. A current is sent through the electro-magnet of such intensity that the electromagnet is enabled to attract only such goods as contain a minimum percentage of magnetic mineral, and in lumps not exceeding a certain maximum weight. If it is desired to sort the material into lots according to the varying percentage of magnetic mineral, the attractive power of the electro-magnet may be gradually decreased by decreasing the intensity of the current passing through the windings by means of a rheostat or other apparatus, so that the material is sorted and transported simultaneously.

Granted: 1906-10-25
Abstract: 1336. Holland, A. Jan. 18. Unloading; conveyers.- In an apparatus :Eor discharging the contents of vessels, warehouses, &c., a series of endless-band conveyers A, B are disposed side by side enclosed in casings extending along the length of the floor. The inside conveyers B feed directly into elevators G, which discharge by a common opening J to a conveyer K adjustable in inclination. The outside conveyers A feed the elevators G by short transverse bands enclosed in similar casings and driven from the shaft W<1> of the longitudinal conveyers by bevelgear E. The upper faces of the casings upon which the material rests are constituted by a number of hinged doors M, which, when closed as shown, rest on the curved bases of triangularshaped pieces Q. These pieces are rotated about their apices by levers 0 so that one rectilinear edge rests upon flanges K<2> extending longitudinally of the conveyers inside the casings and serving to retain the bands in position. The doors then fall so as to rest upon the other rectilinear edges of the pieces Q. The transverse conveyers are provided with similar doors. The whole apparatus is simultaneously driven from the winding-engine of the boat or the like. In operation, the doors over the transverse belts are first opened so as to discharge one end of the hold. A man then enters and operates in succession the various doors until the whole cargo is removed. According to the Provisional Specification, the cargo below the belt is removed by a two-ended plough. The conveyer K is rotatable about its avis T', and its outer end is supported at the required inclination by the shackle of a derrick.

Patent GB-190607251-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Driving Mechanism
Inventor: CAREY ARTHUR BASIL
Filed: 1906-03-26
Granted: 1907-03-26
Abstract: 7251. Carey, A. B. March 26. Variable - speed gearing pulleys and driving- drums.-Relates to means for adjusting the effec. tive diameters of expanding pulleys while running and to providing means for simultaneously varying the diameters of driving and driven sets of pulleys in a variable-speed gearing. One part D of a pulley is fixed to a hollow shaft B. The other part D<1> has a key F projecting through a slot in the shaft B and engaging between collars G on an inner shaft A, ball or thrust bearings being provided if desired. When relative rotation of the shafts A, B is produced, relative longitudinal movement is effected on account of the screw-and-nut connexion C. Upon the shaft A is secured by a key and a nut J a worm-wheel H, with which engages a worm K operated through bevel-gearing by a friction or toothed disk T. The worm K is mounted, with the disk T &c., in a carrier L sliding on pins O attached to a supporting-disk P on the outer shaft B. Relative rotation of the-shafts A, B is obtained while they are both running by pressing either of the friction disks R, S of a non-rotative casing against the disk T, the device being balanced by idle disks T<1>. Instead of the disk T being braked through friction gearing, it may be formed with a toothed periphery, the slidable side plates R, S having corresponding crown-wheels. Crown-wheels continually in mesh with the disk T may be employed, being loosely mounted on the rotating shaft and one or the other braked according to the increase or decrease of pulley diameter required. The worm may be connected to the disk T through flexible shafting, or may be dispensed with altogether, alternative forms of gearing being substituted. Either the inner or outer shaft may be movable. In a form of variable-speed gearing, a parallel shaft is provided with a similar and similarly operated set of pulleys, the parts D however being connected to the movable shaft while the parts D<1> are not slidable, so that the movable parts of all the pulleys move in the same direction and the belts always run straight. The operating devices on the parallel shafts are connected and simultaneously actuated by a bar V controlled by a lever or other means. When the pulley diameters are being adjusted, the movable shaft, with the worm-wheel, worm, disk T, &c., is continuously receding from the operating casing, so that a constant following - up action of the casing is necessary. This provides an automatic adjustment for any slip or other disarrangement which may arise in the adjusting- gear.

Title: Improvements in Incandescing Bodies for Electric Lighting and Heating Purposes
Filed: 1906-08-17
Granted: 1906-12-06
Abstract: 1 8 , 4 8 5. Allgemeine Elektricitõts- Gesellsehaft. Aug. 29, 1905, [date upplied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Heating by electricity. - Incandescence - bodies contain, in addition to a compound or compounds of refractory metals with elements of the silicon and boron groups, substances conductive only when hot, and, in some cases, carbon as well, and are heated, before use, in an inert atmosphere or in a vacuum by an electric current in order to render them uniform. Suitable metals are zirconium, thorium, tantalum, niobium, titanium,and tungsten. The metallic compound, for instance tantalum silicide which may be prepared by fusing silicon with tantalic acid in an electric furnace, is mixed preferably with oxides of rare metals such as yttrium and erbium. Tantalic acid may also be added. Instead of the prepared metallic compound, the elements composing it may be used. The mixture is made plastic with starch, gum tragacanth, or other materials and formed into filaments or rods which are dried and heated in air to remove the binding-material before the heating mentioned above. Carbon may be introduced subsequently, either by heating the bodies in a carbon-tube electric furnace through which hydrocarbons are passed, or by admitting volatile carbon compounds into the vessel in which the bodies have been rendered uniform, and then reheating them. The vessel is again exhausted and the bodies heated to whiteness, after which they may be sealed into bulbs or used in the open air.

Abstract: 22,710. Gilbert, W. V. Oct. 13. Springs.-Relates to the resilient devices de scribed in Specifications No. 19,727, A.D. 1905, and No. 8316, A.D. 1906, which were constructed by bending a plate of metal or other resilient material into an arched form and then indenting the upper or crown portion along a line extending transversely of the arch. The present invention consists in the provision of two transverse indentations, thereby forming a comparatively flat central portion. Supplementary springs may be provided to assist the action and reaction of the devices. A plate c of resilient material is arched about a centre line x-x and then indented along lines Ày-b so as to form a flat central portion 3 of triangular form, as shown in Fig. 1, the base of the triangle being parallel or inclined to the line x-x, or of tetragonal form as shown in Fig. 3, the opposite sides of the tetragon being either parallel or inclined to each other. In these cases, the side parts a of the upper portion of the arch are triangular, but in modifications, the apices of these triangles may be truncated, as shown in Figs. 7 and 8. these arrangements being also slotted at d or e. In the modification shown in Fig. 8, the central portion 3 is curved and gradually merges into the side parts a. When the resilient devices are slotted so that a portion becomes severed from the remainder, that portion may be linked or otherwise retained in position. The action of the devices may be controlled by arrangements such as those described in Specification No. 19,727, A.D. 1905, which are adapted to work in slots so as to be capable of adjustment laterally or otherwise. The devices may also be controlled by supplementary springs extending between arms attached to the wing portions c, by a clamp adapted to obviate distortion of the wings, or by guide bars fixed at one or both ends to the devices. In cases where the middle portion 3 of the device is removed, a control bar may be provided between the portions a. The devices when made of metal may be tempered.
