Abstract: 9671. Mercer, W. A. April 23. Separating by gravity.-In an apparatus for washing and separating minerals, particularly applicable for separating china-clay from quartz and mica, the materials are submerged in liquid, so that the heavy particles are drawn away by a screw conveyer, while the lighter particles suspended in the water pass to a series of settling-tanks. In the apparatus shown, the 'material is introduced with water at E into the casing A of a conveyer B, in which water is maintained up to a level lower than a discharge shoot C. The larger material is caught by the conveyer B and discharged at C, while the lighter material in suspension passes through an outlet F into a U-shaped trough R divided into a series of settling-tanks J, the outlet from the last being connected to an overflow N. The fine materials settle in grades in the tanks J, of which there may be any number. Any material still in suspension in the liquid may be collected in an ordinary settling- tank.

Granted: 1910-08-11
Abstract: 5000. Graaff, C. Feb. 28. Aerated sprayers.-In paint-sprayers in which compressed air is used for spraying the paint, a valve is provided on the paint-container which is open when the main air-valve is closed, and closed when the air-valve is open. The cap k of the container i supports the nozzle-pipe e and pipe h and may be provided with a regulable orifice m. The pipe h has openings o controlled by a valve n, these openings communicating with the air-pipe a so that the air can pass to the interior of the paint to agitate and mix it. The nipple p provides a seating for a valve q, which, with the air-inlet valve b, is controlled by the lever c, so that when one valve is closed the other is open. With this arrangement, when the valve b is closed, the air already in the container does not expand and force out more paint, but escapes past the valve q. In a modification, the valve may be coupled to a spring-controlled differential piston instead of the lever.

Title: Improvements in Coal Levelling Appliances for Coke Ovens.
Inventor: BUCHANAN JAMES
IPC: C10B37/02
Filed: 1910-05-26
Granted: 1911-03-02
Abstract: 12,792. Buchanan, J. May 26. Charges, levelling.-The reciprocating bar of a levelling-appliance for coke-oven charges is operated from a continuously-driven shaft through two sets of ratchet gearing, the driving-pawls of which are suitably brought into and out of engagement to move the bar into the oven, reciprocate it therein, and finally withdraw it. As shown in Fig. 1, the levelling-beam 6 is operated by an endless wire rope 19 through multiplying-gearing 29, 18 from the shaft 8, on which are mounted ratchet-wheels operated by pawls 13, 14 carried by a rod 22, which is reciprocated by a crank on the continuously-driven shaft 23. Adjustable masks 15,16 are provided for cutting-out the pawls when desired, and these are operated, one by the hand-lever 25, and the other, preferably automatically, by the movement of the beam 6 through stops 30, 31, a lever 27, and a connecting-rod 28. In working, the mask 15 is first moved to allow the pawl 13 to drive the ratchet-wheel 10 and thus to push the beam 6 into the oven, this movement being preferably accomplished in three strokes of the pawl. Towards the end of the movement of the beam, the stop 30 operates the lever 27 and the mask 16, allowing the wheel 11 to come into action, and the beam is then reciprocated through one-third the length of its full stroke until the charge is level. The lever 25 is then reversed, the beam is withdrawn, and finally, by the stop 31, both pawls are thrown out of action. The ratchet-wheels may be toothed, as shown, or formed with only three recesses. A modification is described in which the masks are operated through toothed quadrants.

Granted: 1911-06-13
Abstract: 14,292. Wainwright, L. June 13. Siphons.-Relates to a siphon for withdrawing fluids from closed vessels, primarily for surgical purposes, in which the siphon tube itself can be used to close the air-inlet in the stopper when the apparatus is not being used. A rubber ball is used to start the flow. As shown in Fig. 1, a flask a is enclosed in an outer vessel b, the space between being exhausted, or filled with non-conducting material. The stopper d has its upper part hollowed to contain antiseptic wool or other material, and has two holes f, g. The upper end of the siphon tube h is bent round into an inverted U, so that, when turned and pushed down, it enters the hole f, thus closing the vessel. When in use, the shorter end of the tube h is connected to a flexible tube j, a bulb i, and a needle or other instrument n. The flow is started by closing the clip p and pressing the ball i, to expel some of the air. On releasing the ball, the fluid fills the siphon, and the flow then continues automatically. Alternatively, the flow may be started by closing the hole f, and then inserting the stopper into the flask, the ball i being omitted. The device may be used for other than surgical purposes, for example, drawing water from a carafe.
