Granted: 1908-04-30
Abstract: 11,047. Cahill, D. May 11. Counting-apparatus; liquid meters.- The necessity for rotating or sliding fluid-tight joints is obviated in fluid meters of the kind described in Specifications Nos. 18,511 and 18,513, A.D. 1906. The dials a, b are arranged in the meter chamber, and are carried by a spindle c bearing in the cylinder casing and the bracket 2, and removable with the dials for inspection, but normally locked in position by a fork n engaging a groove in the spindle. The outer dial b is loose on the spindle, but is rotatably attached thereto by a screw 4 engaging a groove in the spindle, and is driven by a pinion on a spindle g fast with a ratchet-wheel driven by a pawl on the worm-wheel j driven from the meter. The two dials are reversely numbered and are friction-geared together by the spring d so as to allow the inner dial to be turned back by means of the clutch v, w on depression of the spring plunger r. This plunger is valve-faced, and on depression allows air or gas to escape or enter. The additional totalizing- counter can be seen through windows in the casing. In some cases, the meter casing may be used as a supplementary reservoir and is then provided with a cock or non-return valve. The plunger on the cover is depressed to admit air so as to allow liquid to flow from the meter. One dial only may be employed to indicate the quantity remaining in the reservoir, and is then friction-geared to the meterdriven pinion so as to be set in either direction. Instead of dials, counter wheels with numbers on the edge may be employed.

Abstract: 18,775. Bene, J. Aug. 20. Thrashing - machines. - The strawshaker is driven from the shafts u placed above it and is provided with step-like projections v and with teeth v<1>. The dust is drawn into a channel e, which extends completely across the machine, by means of a fan g and is discharged through the pipe k into the rotary pipe l. The corn falls through the sieve b where it meets the blast from the nozzle d of the fan x, the dust being thus carried into the channel e. A fan w, arranged above the second cleaning-sieves 1, 2, 3, drives the dust from these sieves down through the opening 4. and it is then carried away by the blast from the nozzle d. A perforated rotary drum f is arranged in the channel e, any chaff being thus collected and passed out between the drum f and a roller i to the mouth h. The dust passes through the drum, which is cleaned by a rod n pressed against it by a spring m. The chaff from the mouth h, together with the tailings from the sieve a, falls into the passagep and is ejected by the fan r. The dust from the sieve t is similarly ejected.

Abstract: 5196. Chadwick, G. C. March 7. Loading and unloading; elevators.-An appliance for loading and unloading ships' cargoes comprises a framework running on wheels, and carrying a boom adjustable in vertical and hori- - zontal planes by means of hydraulic cylinders ; the boom carries conveyers, and at oneend a turntable from which is suspended an e'evator, the lower part of which may be adjusted at any angle to the upper by means of an hydraulic cylinder, the other end of the boom carrying a balance weight. The elevator and conveyers are driven by suitably arranged electric motors. The boom 1 is formed of lattice girders connected by cross-members, and is supported on a vertical ram 3, itself supported on a framework 4 carried on wheels 5 running on rails. The turntable consists of upper and lower members 9, 8 between which are rollers. The member 9 is rotated by hand by means of toothed wheels, and has attached to it an elevator 21. The member 8 is provided with wheels to run on a track 16 on the boom. The lower part 22 of the elevator is hinged and may be adjusted at an angle to the upper part by means of an hydraulic cylinder 27. The elevator is pivoted about the axis 74 and delivers through a spout 32 on to conveyers 33 carried by the girders 1. The troughs of the conveyers are provided at intervals with suitable discharge openings. The boom 1 is secured on an axle 12 carried by the ram 3 of an hydraulic cylinder 40, by which the boom may be raised or lowered. The tilting of the boom is accomplished by a chain 44 attached to a piston 41 working in an hydraulic cylinder 42 in the ram 3. The movement of the boom in an horizontal plane is effected by an horizontal hydraulic cylinder 50 which has a double-ended piston 49, to the ends of. which is attached a chain passing round a pulley 47 formed on a squared portion of a downward projection of the ram 3. In the modification shown in Fig. 2, the boom is pivoted on a collar surrounding the support 3, which carries pulleys 52 over which ropes 53 pass from the ends of the boom to the pistons 54. The boom is raised and lowered when both pistons are acted upon, and is tilted when one piston is acted upon and the other is released. The boom may be moved in an horizontal plane by ropes operated from winches. on the wharf. The turntable and elevator are drawn along the track 16 by means of a rope 56 operated from the double-ended piston 57 in the hydraulic cylinder 58. The frame 4 may be moved along its track by the electric motor 60 operating the wheels 5 through. suitable gearing. The coal or the like from the vessel is carried up to the conveyer by the elevator and discharged through the shoots.

Closed solid - fuel stoves; smoke, consuming.-A closed stove is arranged so as to consume smoke, as in the cooking-range described in Specification 22,736/08. The stove consists of a fire-place 13 in a casing 11, and a series of orifices 14, or a vertical grating, is placed so that some of the combustion products pass through it direct to the chimney F. When the fire is lighted, a damper 15 at the upper end of the fire-place is moved so as to open a direct passage to the flue F, the combustion products passing away as shown by the arrows E. When the damper 15 closes this passage, the greater portion of the combustion products pass over the walls of the fire-place, as shown by the arrows g, thence downwards to passages on each side of the ash-pit, and upwards to the flue F. As they pass upwards the combustion products issuing from the orifices 14 mix with them and consume the smoke. The upcast and downcast flues for this circulation are separated by baffled air-heating channels 20, with air inlets and outlets 22, 25.
