Title: Improved Apparatus for Concentrating Ores.
Inventor: MICHAELIS SAMU
IPC: B03D1/14
Filed: 1913-05-09
Granted: 1914-04-23
Abstract: 10,972. Michaelis, S. May 9. Surface-tension separating - apparatus. - Ores are concentrated by mixing the dry ore with oil, bringing the mixture into contact with acidulated water, separating the concentrate by flotation, separating the incompletely concentrated metalliferous particles from the gangue centrifugally, and drying the products in centrifugal machines. The ore and oil are mixed in chambers 3, 4 and the mixture is fed to agitating-vessels 10 in which it is mixed with warm acidified water. Interconnected valves are arranged on the mixture and acid pipes. The concentrate that floats in the vessels 10 passes to oil-separators 30 and thence to a centrifugal machine r<1> from which the dry ore is delivered at F<5>, and the oil is returned to a tank o<5>. The gangue and second concentrate pass to a centrifugal separator 39, the concentrate which overflows at t<2> passing direct to a centrifugal sepamachine r<2> from which it is delivered at f<6>. The separator 39, Fig. 2, comprises a conical disk to which the mixture is supplied in the direction of rotation through a pipe f<4> and acid through a pipe s<3> in the reverse direction. The gangue falls through holes 34 on to a cone 35 and passes to a centrifugal machine r<3>, while the concen-- trate escapes over the edge and passes to the centrifugal machine r<2>. The oil and acid from the gangue are separated in vessels 40 and returned to tanks o<5>, s<8>, the acid being passed through a heater s<10> and the oil and acid being pumped through pipes o, s for re-use.

Title: Improvements in Means for Cross-winding Yarn in Spinning Mules.
Inventor: GOLLAND HENRY STAFFORD
IPC: D01H1/36
Filed: 1914-01-20
Granted: 1914-12-24
Abstract: 1470. Golland, H. S. Jan. 20. Mules.-An auxiliary guide-wire a, arranged beneath the yarn and between the spindle and the winding-faller, and vibrated so as to produce cress-wound cops, as described in Specifications 22,988/02 and 4848/07, is operated by mechanism actuated from the winding-faller shaft. The copping- rail is provided with an undulating surface, or the boot-leg slide is provided with an eccentric bowl, so that the winding-faller is oscillated slightly several times during the inward run. Fingers b and sickles d, which carry the wire a and are loosely mounted on t h e winding - faller shaft, are operated by a cam g<1>, which is adapted to oscillate with its supporting ahaft g<2> and to turn relatively thereto to give the necessary varying chase during the formation of the cop bottom. The shaft g<2> is mounted on a frame i oscillated by a pin- and-slot connexion k, j<4>, from a quadrant gearing with a quadrant j fast on the winding-faller shaft, and is oscillated on its axis by means of a fixed quadrant g'. Two oppositelyarranged ratchet-wheels m, n, fixed on the shaft g<2> operate the cam g<1> by means of pawls m<1>, n<1>, mounted thereon, and ledges o, o<1> engage the ends of the pawls to permit the gradual movement of the cam relative to the shaft g<2>. At the end of the inward run, the upward movement of the faller and the frame i rotates the ratchet-wheels but the movement imparted to the cam is discontinued when the ledge o' disconnects the pawl m<1>. When backing- off takes place the movement of the ratchet-wheel is reversed and a stud n<3> thereon moves the cam backwards to an extent which decreases as the winding proceeds. Ultimately the stud is in such a position that its movement does not affect the cam, the forward and reverse movement of the cam being then effected by the ratchet through the medium of the pawls m<1>, n<1>, and the extent of the movement being determined by the contact of the pawls with the ledges o, o'. The slot k is so shaped that the bowl j<4> does not affect the position of the frame after the guide-wire has been raised to its maximum height below the spindle point.
