Filed: 1912-11-16
Granted: 1913-11-17
Abstract: 26,350. Bensusan, S. L. Nov. 16. Roasting; sulphatizing.-Ores or concentrates containing zinc and lead are roasted in a rotary furnace by means of steam, hot air or gases being used only to initiate the roasting process. The ore is charged into an inclined rotary kiln 1, the lower end of which is enclosed in a discharge chamber 4 also communicating with a furnace 6. The ore is heated to redness by means of the furnace gases or by air passing through pipes in the furnace, whereupon the supply of air or hot gases is cut off and steam from a boiler 12 is gradually admitted through a perforated pipe 13. The product is leached to extract the sulphates of zinc and any silver present, and the residue is concentrated for lead. The sulphate solution may be treated to precipitate the silver as chloride and to recover the zinc electrolytically. The gases from the kiln are withdrawn by a fan 16 through a chamber 19 and discharged into a chamber 20, wherein sulphur or sulphur compounds are deposited, the gases finally escaping into a water tank 25 wherein sulphur dioxide is absorbed.

Abstract: 10,061. Liechty, H. April 30, 1912, [Convention date]. Axles; springs, arrangement of. - The axle ends of gun carriages and motor or other road vehicles are pivoted to the main part of the axle so as to oscillate in a vertical plane under control of springs, and in the case of a driving-axle spring- controlled horizontal oscillations are also permitted. The main part a of each axle, which is fixed to the vehicle, is forked at the ends to receive wheel spindles d pivoted at c. The spindles d have upper and lower arms f, f<1> connected to the axle a by pairs of toggle links h, h', Fig. 2. A strong spring g is arranged between the upper pair of toggle links, and a weaker spring g<1> is placed between the lower pair to damp the oscillations of the spring g. Fig. 4 shows an axle for a gun in which the wheel spindles d have each a rectangular arm f extending within a hollow casing a made in halves so as to facilitate assembling. The arms f are pivoted about upper and lower knife-edges b, and their inner ends are acted upon by upper and lower helical springs contained in telescopic casings k<1>, i', k, i. The outer parts i, i<1> of the casings are screwed into a rectangular enlarged portion m of the casing a by means of hexagonal heads j, j<1>. The lower springs are made stronger than the upper springs, and as many as are necessary are placed side by side in planes at right-angles to the arms f. Fig. 7 shows a sectional plan of the driving-axle of a motor-car. The wheel is mounted on a hollow spindle d formed in one with a casing q having a hollow cylindrical extension f. The casing q carries brasses i bearing on a spherical seat b on the live axle a. A pin c extends through the seat b, passes through holes r in the brasses i, and holes s in the casing q, and fits into a flange l concentric with the axle and carrying a brake drum x. Ball bearings v, v are arranged between the flange l and a casing m extending across the vehicle. The casing q has recesses t to receive collars k seated on the pin c and having spherical outer surfaces. The inner end of the extension f rotates through ball bearings z in a square frame h which is acted upon by pairs of upper and lower springs g<1>, g, Fig. 8, contained in telescopic casings screwed into an enlarged part of the casing m, Similar spring devices g<2> act upon the vertical sides of the frame h to absorb horizontal shocks. Guides h<1> allow relative movement between the frame h and springs g, g<1>, g<2>.

Abstract: 10,360. Bates, A., and British United Shoe Machinery Co. April 27. Uppers, machines for.-A machine for moulding the heel ends of shoe uppers, particularly for veldtschoen, turn-shoes and similar light work, is furnished with wipers which are arranged to have a combined wiping and pressing action on the upper. The moulding-devices comprise an inner mould D, Figs. 1 and 4, adjustably mounted in an arm A' of the machine frame and adapted to be heated from a gas burner E, and outer moulds F which are pivoted together at F* and are connected at their forward ends by links F<1> to arms G<1> of a sliding frame G; the arms G<1> act on the links F<1> through spring plungers G<2>. The frame G is manually actuated through a link H', bell-crank H, rod H<2>, and spring H<3> from a treadle J to advance and then to close the moulds, but is afterwards coupled by a pawl and ratchet to a wiper-carrying frame L', which is actuated through a lever M and link N from a countershaft C; in this way the power of the machine is utilized to press the moulds against the upper. The frame L<1> is connected at its forward end by links L<2> with the machine standard, so that as it moves forwards, it also swings downwards to give the wipers a combined wiping and pressing action. The wipers comprise members K', Fig. 6, pivoted together by a stem K*, which projects through a bore in a spring-controlled member L, Fig. 1, pivoted at L* to the frame L'. The initial position of the member L can be adjusted by a screw L<3>. As the frame is advanced, the wipers are closed by the engagement of their tail-pieces K<2>, Fig. 6, with rollers G<3> centred on the frame G, and as the frame is withdrawn, the wipers are opened again by springs K<6>, Fig. 4, surrounding rods K<4> connected to the tail-pieces K<2>. The wiper is also provided with a part K<7>, Fig. 6, adapted to bear on the rear edge of the upper; the part K<7> has an opening conforming to the rear part of the heel seat, and preferably has a. projection K<8> extending into this opening. The power-actuated portions of the machine are controlled from a hand-lever R, Fig. 1, or, alternatively, from the treadle J.

Abstract: 11,763. Stell, A., and Stell, J. May 13. Doffing-arrangements.-In spinning and like machines of the kind in which the spindles and flyers may be swivelled about their upper ends and the bobbins removed and applied at their lower ends, two series of bobbin pegs 48, 49, for receiving full and empty bobbins respectively, are provided, mounted on rails &c. so that the two series may be moved simultaneously towards and from the spindles and either series of pegs may be brought into line with the spindles. In Fig. 3, the pegs are shown mounted in an inclined position upon a rail 47, which is moved towards and from the spindles by rack- and-pinion mechanism 43, 42. The pegs are parallel with the spindles when the spindles are in their most inclined position shown, so that the vertical position necessary for spinning and the inclined position shown necessary for doffing are the only positions which it is necessary for the spindles to assume. The drawings show the invention applied to a machine provided with doffing-mechanism having other well-known features, such as mechanism for reciprocating the traverse rail C and for disconnecting this traverse mechanism, whereby the rail may be lowered by hand for doffing; means for raising and lowering the footstep rail; means comprising toothed segments 68, 69 for swivelling the spindles and flyers; swivelling pins 80 and fingers 77 for holding the bobbins and alining the flyers during the doffing operation; swivelling forked pins 58 for clearing the threads from the spindles and raising empty bobbins thereon; and thread-cutting mechanism 60 carried by a vertically-moving rack 52 operated by a hand-wheel on the shaft 54 &c.

Mines, marine.-Relates to automatic anchors comprising a cable drum, the unwinding of which is stopped by a ratchet pawl when a plummet touches bottom, and consists in improved means for preventing the release of the pawl when once it has locked the drum. A second pawl C, is pivoted at c to the ratchet pawl B, and both pawls are urged forwards by a common spring c<1>. When the pull of the plummet line b is relieved on the plummet touching bottom, the ratchet pawl B moves up and locks the ratchet-wheel B<1>, and the second pawl C is moved over a stationary edge c<2> and prevents the return of the ratchet pawl B. A plunger D normally bears against a lug b<1> on the ratchet pawl and releases the same after a given rotation of the cable drum in the usual way, to prevent premature locking of the drum. A spring arm E bears on the ratchet-wheel and acts as a brake.
