Abstract: 27,183. Brown, W. Dec. 5. Cage lifts.-A safety gate for pit cages is capable of being collapsed and moved upwards and inwards and supported in the ' up ' position so as to give a clear floor space. The cage a is provided with two gates b of any suitable collapsible type. One end of each gate is secured to a vertical standard c fitting into a socket d in the floor of the cage, while the other end of the gate is secured to a vertical standard e also fitting into a socket in the floor, its upper end being reduced and slidably and pivotally connected to a socket f fitted in a cross-bar g of the cage. The socket f is rotatably mounted on the cross-bar p, and is provided with a rotatable cylindrical central portion f<1>. The opening through the socket is also widened at the ends to allow of the gate being tilted while withdrawing the standard c. An opening in the top of the pillar c engages the reduced end of the cross-bar g, and a locking pin g<2> is also fitted. After conveying miners, the door is opened by unlocking the pillar c, lifting it out of its socket and collapsing the gate. When not required for miners, the pillar c is lifted out of its socket, together with the collapsed gate, and is turned upwards and inwards, being held in the ' up ' position by a supporting- bracket h and locking-catch i. In a modification, the top of the standard e is provided with an elongated hole, and the end of the bar g is bent to form a hook and passes through the hole.

Title: Machine for Cleaning Wool.
Inventor: MILSON JOHN REED
IPC: D01B3/08
Filed: 1913-03-14
Granted: 1914-01-22
Abstract: 6389. Milson, J. R., and Lawson, A. March 14. Openers; feeding openers.-In apparatus for cleaning wool use is made of an opener which consists of a number of agitating-devices individually operated in one direction and collectively in the opposite direction, which may be near to and co-operate with a wool presenting means, such as a conveyer belt 13, with terminal guide-rollers, means, such as a carrier roller 47, co-operating with the nearer guideroller 23. The carrier roller 47 is preferably of hard material and has a fluted surface. The opener itself is a planetary device and consists of a number of agitators, of which the shafts 63 are journaled in end spiders fixed on an adjustable driving-shaft 53. Each shaft 63 carries a number of blades or beaters &c. 65, consisting, for example, of a toothed strip of leather &c. stretched between heads 67 on the respective shafts 63. Each shaft has splined to it a pinion meshing with an internal gear inside a drum 79 mounted loosely on the main shaft 53 and having a belt pulley 81. Thus the drum 79 can be rotated anticlockwise while the main shaft 53 is rotated clockwise, by means of a fixed pulley thereon, and with it the agitating- device as a whole, causing the individual agitators to rotate simultaneously anticlockwise at a very much higher speed. Thus the wool passing through the rollers 23, 47 to the agitating-means is beaten, combed, wiped, or pulled many times and very rapidly by the blades 65, which fluff up the fibres and pull them from softened paint, tar, &c. which has been forced by previous treatment into the meshes of the apron 13. The wool is then passed from one agitator to the next over a curved foraminated screen 85 made of transverse wires 85<a> with which are interwoven smaller wires 85<c>. The wool is thus rubbed against the larger wires which form pockets in which dirt &c. is left to be removed thence by the action of a suctionfan connected by a pipe 88 with the receptacle shown arranged under the screen 85. The whole device may be provided with a hood.

Title: A Method of Increasing the Strength of Magnets.
Inventor: MAY PAUL
IPC: H01F13/00
Filed: 1913-04-03
Granted: 1914-04-03
Abstract: 7898. May, P. Aug. 29, 1912, [Convention date]. Magnets.-The flux density between the poles of permanent magnets for driving or braking in measuring-instruments, motors, speedometers, &c. is increased by applying an apparently demagnetizing force to points at a distance from the magnetic poles in such a manner as to displace the flux towards the poles. The demagnetization may be effected by heating, for example by means of heated bodies, flames, nozzles from which hot gases flow, heat rays, mechanical devices producing heat by pressure, impact, or friction, or by eddy currents produced from alternating currents by induction. The poles of the magnet and the adjoining regions are protected from the heat during the demagnetization, and a magnetometer, bismuth spiral, or similar device may be used to indicate when the maximum increase of flux has been obtained. When the maximum is reached, the magnet as. a whole is cooled. The Specification contains numerical results of tests showing the increase in flux obtained in certain magnets. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) comprises also the use of lightrays of short wave-length for demagnetizing; this subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.
