Granted: 1910-08-18
Abstract: 28,795. Notbohm, C., and Eigemann, H. Dec. 9. Automatic gear; hand, foot, and like gear. - The reversing - lever of a winding-engine, or of a starting- engine controlling a winding- engine, is directly operated by the governor to control the speed. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, adjustable blocks 1, 2, which slide on the quadrant d and receive the pawl of the reversing-lever, are moved by the governor through links 3 ... 7. In a modification of the above-described arrangement applied to a hand reversing- lever, the lever 5 is arranged on an external part. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 2, the blocks 1, 2 are secured to pivoted links 3, 4, 8, 9 and are drawn together by a spring 10. A governor - controlled rod 6 carrying rollers is arranged between the links 8, 9. In the abovedescribed arrangement, the smallest admission is obtained by moving the lever entirely over. In arrangements in which the maximum admission is obtained by moving the lever entirely over, the shifting of the blocks 1, 2 by the governor must take place in the opposite direction.

Abstract: 20,979. Alexander, F., and Laskowski, W. F. Feb. 25. Ink-ribbon mechanism.- (1) Spool mounting. The spools 1, Fig. 4, are detachably mounted on shafts 3, for example by fitting on a square or polygonal part of the shaft, and are retained by spring-pressed detents R provided with finger-pieces T and mounted on the main frame A in position to engage the tops of the spools. (2) Feed and automatic reversal. Ratchet-wheels 4, 5, Fig. 5, on the spool shafts engage with ratchet-wheels 6, 7 on shafts 8, 9 mounted in the main frame A, Fig. 4. The gears for the two spools are in different horizontal planes and are actuated from the carriage by corresponding racks 0, P, guided by means of pins 11 and inclined slots 10. Springs 14, 15 on a post 18 press the racks forwards, and arms 16, 17 on turning posts 19, 20 engage the racks so that one is held in operative position and the other inoperative. When the carriage is returned, the operative rack yields and clears its ratchet-wheel. When a spool is nearly empty, the tension of the ribbon holds the operative ratchet-wheel so that the corresponding rack rides backwards and, through the arms 16, 17, brings the other rack into operation.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Ore Concentration.
IPC: B03D1/24
Filed: 1911-01-30
Granted: 1912-01-25
Abstract: 2383. Nutter, E. H., and Minerals Separation, Ltd. Jan. 30. Surface - tension and like separating processes and apparatus. - In a process of ore concentration by agitation - aeration and froth - flotation, the mixing of the ore, water, and frothing- agent is effected in a slow - speed apparatus, and the aeration in a separate highspeed d rotating agitator, the pulp being then d i scharged into the froth - separating apparatus. The aerator is preferably such that a super-atmospheric pressure is obtained by the rotation. A large quantity of pulp is operated on in mixing, while the aeration at high speed is performed on small quantities. The pulp may be delivered from the mixer into a centrifugal apparatus arranged to draw in air and deliver the aerated pulp into the separating-vessel. The apparatus shown in Fig. 3 comprises a slow-speed mixer A delivering into an aerator consisting of a flat circular casing J having in the upper part upright curved blades K integral with the casing and with an annular disk K<1>. Beneath the blades K is a series of unenclosed blades M curved in the reverse direction to the blades K and extending upwards at their ends into the space between the ends of the blades K and the periphery of the casing. The casing and the blades K are rotated at a high speed and the blades M at a lower speed in the same direction. The casing J discharges through a pipe J' into a spitzkasten E. In other forms of apparatus, two sets of blades may be rotated at different speeds within a fixed casing; or an aerating- chamber containing a high-speed agitator may be arranged between two mixing-vessels having low-speed agitators. The various vessels may be separate or may be grouped together to form units of apparatus; and in some cases, the settling-vessel may be concentric with and outside the aerator. The discharge from the aerator may be delivered to the settling-vessel through a U-tube or the like such as described in Specification 13,268/07. Specifications 7803/05 and 2359/09 are also referred to.

Granted: 1912-07-08
Abstract: 15,753. Faller, E. A. July 6. Tunnels.-In apparatus for mixing powdered materials with liquid and delivering them in a wet or plastic form by means of a current of air, the powdered material is conveyed by an air current along a hose to a point near to where it is to be utilized. It is then met by a second current of air, which accelerates it and preferably gives it a rotary motion. It is then met by the liquid current, which may rotate in the opposite direction to the air current. The apparatus is applicable for filling up fissures in rock or spaces around tunnel linings. The powdered material is fed from a vessel A by a screw conveyer 8. The shaft of the conveyer 8 is hollow and serves for the introduction of an air blast, which carries the powdered material along the hose 16. The outlet of the hopper A is contracted at 14 in front of the air inlet. The hose 16 leads to a chamber 22, Fig. 3, in which is a nozzle 21 for introducing a second supply of air. At the back of the nozzle 21 is a conical projection 21 x, serving as a guide for the air current. Inside the nozzle 21 is a spiral rib for giving a rotatory motion to the entering air. The outlet of the chamber 22 opens into a nozzle 29, into which liquid is introduced. This nozzle may be provided with a sheet-metal lining in which are formed spiral ribs imparting a rotation to the liquid opposite to that given to the liquid by the nozzle 21.

Fixed-abutment type; governing and regulating motors and pumps; priming-arrangements; adjusting parts for wear.-The capacity of engines and pumps of the outwardly-sliding vane type is varied by adjusting the position of the inlet and outlet ports relative to the working chambers, the principle of the device being similar to that described in Specification 20,143/10, [Class 102 (i), Pumps &c.]. A geometrical construction is described for tracing the inner contour of the casing h, whereby three working chambers b, c, dare formed, all diameters through the centre of the rotor being equal. The radially-sliding vanes f are connected in pairs by rods differentially screwed to compensate for wear. Inlet and outlet ports k, i, j, l, m, n are formed in one or both end covers of the casing, and by rotating these covers relatively to the working chambers the capacity of these may be varied from a maximum flow in one direction to a maximum in the reverse direction. A vacuum is employed to prime the apparatus for starting. The invention may be employed for regulating the speed of a rotary motor fed by a rotary pump.
