Title: Improvements in Mills for Grinding.
Inventor: WEGERIF JOHANNES CHRISTIAAN
Filed: 1901-12-19
Granted: 1903-03-19
Abstract: 25,971. Wegerlf, J. C. Dec. 19. Edge-runners and pans.-Relates to mills in which the rollers B are placed with their axes askew or non-radial to the axis of the pan A and are, together with the pan, positively driven as described in Specification No. 23,421, A.D. 1901. The bearings of the roller gudgeons C are fitted to slide in vertical guides S, fixed to a bridge E, and are pressed down by springs H, adjustable by screws, and spindles T provided with band-wheels ; the height of the rollers above the pan is adjusted by screws and hand-wheels I. The axes of the different rollers may be tangential to circles of progressively-larger diameters, so as to cause progressively-increasing degrees of cross grinding to be produced, and the height of the rollers above the pan may also be graduated for succeeding rollers. In a modified arrangement, the bridge E instead of being stationary is secured to a vertical rotating shaft and the rotation of the rollers about their own axes is derived from their movement round the axis of the pan by means of epicyclic gearing.

Title: Improvements in Collimator Gyroscopes for Obtaining Artificial Horizons.
Inventor: PONTHUS PROSPER
Filed: 1902-02-22
Granted: 1902-07-10
Abstract: 4555. Ponthus, P., and Therrode, L. Feb. 22. H o r i z o n s, artificial; gyroscopic apparatus; sextants. - Relates to gyroscopic apparatus for obtaining an artificial horizon for use with sextants &c. Fig. 3 shows a section of the apparatus; and Fig. 1 shows its application to a sextant. The disc h is pivoted on a standard in a casing e. On the top of the disc, along a diameter, a lens l is mounted, and at its focus a disc m marked with horizontal lines. On the top of the casing e is a gauge to indicate the vacuum. Tangential nozzles a<1> communicate with a pipe x closed by a tap y. The interior of the casing similarly communicates with a pipe r closed by a tap s. A lamp d<2> is arranged to illuminate a ground-glass disc f in line with diametral openings in the casing e and the axis of an observing telescope. To start the gyroscope, the casing is connected to exhausting-apparatus and the taps s and y are opened. Air thus enters by the nozzles a' and, impinging on vanes carried by the disc h, sets it in rotation. When the required speed has been obtained, the tap y is closed, and a vacuum is produced which is indicated by the gauge i. The celestial body being observed, appears projected upon the rapidly-rotating graduated disc m, and, from its position, Fig. 7, the altitude is deduced. A fork operated by an external handle, is employed to lift the disc off its pivot when the apparatus is not in use.

Abstract: 17,566. McNeil, J., and McNeil, C. Aug. 11. Drying cocoa beans &c. -Vacuum apparatus for drying cocoa beans and other granular materials consists of a rotating or fixed drum with a steam jacket or internal fixed or rotary steam-heating coils or pipes. In the construction shown, the drum is' steam-jacketed and mounted to rotate on trunnions which are adapted for the supply of steam and withdrawal of water of condensation at A<2>, and for the con- nection to the fan or other vacuum-producing apparatus at A<1>. D is the steam-supply pipe, and E the drain pipe. The jacket is provided with a longitudinal partition between the openings of the two pipes, so that the water of condensation is carried round with every revolution and runs down the pipe E. Blades H may be fitted to agitate the material during rotation, or the drum may be of polygonal section. J is the charging-door, and J<1> the charging-hopper. Instead of the jacket, internal heating-coils or straight heating-tubes may be employed, in which case they may act also to agitate the material. The drum may also be fixed, the heating pipes or coils being made to revolve.

Granted: 1903-12-17
Abstract: 3775. Rackham, R. Feb. 17. Windmills.-Relates (1) to means for allowing the sails to turn away from a high wind, and (2) to means for altering the stroke of the pump, driven by the mill, to suit the power available. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, the shaft c', carrying the sails, rotates in bearings on a turntable b, which can turn in a socket. The shaft d<2>, carrying the fantail, can turn in bearings on the turntable, and is provided with an arm f, Figs. 1 and 2, connected by a rod f<1> to a tubular shaft g. At the lower end of this shaft is a stud g<1>, on which is loosely mounted a quadrant h gearing. with a quadrant e on the boss of the turntable. The quadrant h has two arms h', h<2>, Fig. 3, the first of which is connected to a sliding sleeve k<1>, while the other is connected to a spring in a box m'. The sails can thus turn away from the wind, compressing the said spring, which returns them to the original position when the wind drops. Should the wind become excessive, the sails turn away until an arm n encounters a stop o, whereupon the spindle n' is rotated to bring a cam-shaped brake block into contact with the disc c'. The mill is shown as employed to drive a pump, the rod being reciprocated by a crank on the shaft c<2>. In a modification, a vertical spindle is rotated by bevel gear. Fig. 5 shows the means for varying the stroke of the pump. The rod p is adjustably attached to a vibrating link to which the pump rod s is pivoted.
