Granted: 1910-03-17
Abstract: 13,699. Smithies, J. June 11. Potato diggers.-A machine for harvesting potatoes &c. comprises means for dividing, raising, cutting, and discharging the tops, for digging, raising, screening, and discharging the potatoes, and for automatically raising the front end of the frame when the implement is turned. The tops are divided and raised by two dividers F<1>, and are pushed back over the cutter F by a reel E'. The cutter F is like that of a reaping-machine, and is driven by a crank shaft H', which is connected with a shaft K by reversible bevel gearing and a clutch. The tops are discharged laterally by a conveyer belt or by an endless chain provided with projections N' and driven by a sprocket-wheel M on the shaft H<1>. The potatoes are dug by a share or shares P and are pushed up an inclined screen R by the toothed plates O<1> of a reel O on the shaft K. They pass down a shaking screen or screens S to the ground or to a sack, hamper, or other receptacle Y. The screen S is shaken bv crank and bell - crank mechanism connected with the shaft K. The reel shafts are driven from the main axle by chain gearing. The steering-wheel axle C' is mounted in a vertically adjustable fork C<2> on which are rollers A<3> engaging with a cam rim A<2> which is curved as shown, so as to raise the front of the frame A when the fork C' is turned..According to the Provisional Specification, the front end of the frame may ba raised by means of a lever and a chain.

IPC: B03B4/02
Filed: 1910-12-24
Granted: 1911-03-09
Abstract: 29,972. Bonson, W. W. Dec. 24. Separating by shaking - apparatus; pneumatic separating.-In a modification of the dry ore separator described in Specification 18,444/09, comprising an inclined reciprocating table with a mesh up through which air is forced and above which are secured upper and lower series of deflectors to move the ore and g a n g u e in different directions, the table is divided longitudinally so as to form a gangueseparating bed and an ore - concentrating bed. The supporting - standards 6, Fig. 2, have rings or cups 10 at their upper ends to receive the axles 12 of the jig, and are pivoted at their lower ends on shafts 16 supported in bearings 18 on foundations 20. The table may be inclined laterally by inserting a wedge between one of the axles 12 and the bottom of the jig. The table is secured on top of the air-box 5, and has grate bars 28 over which is stretched a mesh 30. Inclined ore-deflectors 35 are placed upon the mesh above and parallel to the bars 28, and gangue-deflectors 36 are secured above and at an angle to the deflectors 35. The grate bars 28 and the deflectors 35, 36 are preferably cast together and machined. The deflectors 36 are preferably cut off at one end toward the side 38 of the table. Longitudinal beams or girders 44, 45, 46 secured to the ends of the table at one side of the centre thereof, have grooves in their under edges to receive adjustable gates 51, 52, 53, Fig. 7. Screws 55, Fig. 6, on the gates, pass up through openings 50 in the beams and engage nuts 60 located in keepers 56 secured to the upper edges of the beams. The deflectors 35 are grooved underneath the beams to allow the gates to be adjusted down to the mesh, and the deflectors 36 may be dispensed with between the gates. A girder 62 along the outer longitudinal edge of the table carries an adjustable gate 64, and deflectors 68, set above the deflectors 35 but at a different angle to the deflectors 36, extend from the girder 62 to about two-thirds of the way across the concentrating- bed 65. The dried ore is fed along the head of the first division of the table, and the gates 51, 52, 53 are adjusted to give diminishing openings for the passage of the material. The greater portion of the gangue is discharged from the end of the first division of the table, and the ore and middlings and some of the gangue pass under the gates to the bed 65. The ore passes from the bottom of the bed under the gate 64, and the middlings and any remaining gangue pass round the ends of the retarders 68 and off from the end of the table. The gate 64 is adjusted so that the quantity of ore passing into the delivery shoot is equal to the quantity passing under the gate 53 on to the bed 65.

Abstract: 2812. Wood, A. Feb. 3. Roller maills. - In a crushing, grinding, or mixing mill for india-rubber &c., the crushed material is directed by a plate d, Fig. 4, on to an inclined tray f, which carries a sieve g and is reciprocated on guides or rollers l by means of a tappet-wheel on the driving-shaft k bearing against a roller i on the end of a projecting arm h. The fine material is received in a receptacle m, and the tailings pass down a shoot n into a well o, whence they are raised by a bucket elevator c<1> and returned to the hopper a of the mill for re-grinding. The chamber o may be supported at the upper and lower ends by brackets r, b<1>, Fig. 3, secured to the frame s of the roller mill and to the floor, respectively, and the upper shaft v of the elevator carries a sprocket-wheel h<1> which can be clutched to the shaft and is driven by a chain j' from a wheel on one of the roller shafts, or from the shaft k. The tray f and sieve g may be dispensed with, and a series of roller mills with intermediate elevators may be used. The rolls are reduced at the ends to allow the ends of the feed-hopper a to fit against them. The bushes m' are enlarged internally at their inner ends, and are provided with slots p<1> to receive cotters q<1> which pass through corresponding slots in the side frames. In the event of overload, the bush will break across the part r<1>, and, on removing the cotters q<1>, the broken end can be withdrawn and a new bush inserted.
