Abstract: 19,033. Forrester, H. J. C., [Wilson Co., W. G.]. Aug. 20. Direct air-pressure apparatus, automatic.-A machine for conveying and forcibly discharging liquid or plastic materials, or mixtures of solids and liquids, such as concrete or mixtures of sand and water, comprises an endless conveyer in the form of a chain pump combined with a compressed air ejector for discharging the material through a delivery pipe as the sections of the chain pump come opposite the nozzle of the ejector. Fig. 2 shows the general arrangement of the machine, which is carried upon wheels so that it can be moved from place to place. The concrete or other material is supplied to a chamber 5 containing a mixing-device 6, and is carried forward through a tube T by the pockets p of an endlees conveyer 3 driven by sprocket-wheels 2 operated by a compressed - air motor M. When the pockets of material come opposite the compressed-air pipe 24, the material is discharged through the delivery pipe 28 which is preferably flexible. In the preferred arrangement, the compressed air is admitted to the conveyer tube through an annular conical nozzle 32, Fig. 8, and the material is discharged through a conical passage 34 opposite, the arrangement being such that a continuous discharge of the material takes place. The formation of an area of reduced pressure in the centre of the air blast is prevented by means of a small passage 39 which admits a small quantity of compressed air from the air chamber x to the centre of the conical air blast. In a modified form, shown in Fig. 13, the conical nozzle is dispensed with and the air admitted from a pipe I in the side of the tube T. It is stated that the apparatus may be used for cleaning castings by discharging wet sand against them, and may also be used for spraying trees.
