Abstract: 3727. Tobell, J. Feb. 15. Separating or sorting coffee &c.-Relates to a pneumatic process for removing impurities, imperfectlyroasted berries, &c. from coffee and the like. The coffee is spread out upon a perforated sorting-table or band, and the imperfect berries removed one by one by means of a movable tube having a strong suction-current of air induced by a fan. Or fixed tubes may be arranged transversely to travelling bands, the air current being regulated either to remove light impurities or to suck up all the berries, leaving stones &c. behind. Fig. 3 shows in plan a sorting-table arranged for the use of six operators seated at P<1>, P<2>, &c., and having six independent travelling bands I, II, III, &c.

Title: An Improved Device for Holding Articles in Place upon Tables or other Supports.
Inventor: PALME HARALD
Filed: 1899-06-15
Granted: 1899-07-29
Abstract: 12,488. Palme, H., Skantze, H., and Skantze, H. June 15. Stands for table use.-Relates to a device on the "sucker" principle for holding drinking-vessels, plates, or other articles on tables, more especially on board ship. In Fig. 2, the annular face B of an india-rubber disc is pressed on the surface of the table. By rotating the cylinder D, projections G on its sides act on inclined planes on the disc E, and raise it into the position shown. The disc E is connected to a disc C, beneath the elastic centre of the india-rubber disc. The raising of C creates a vacuum inside the rim B, and causes it to adhere to the table. A spiral spring H forces down the disc C when the rotation of D is reversed, and the holder is thereby released. The indiarubber disc is enclosed in a casing A. The cylinder D may be a goblet or a holder for a tumbler.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Electrolysis.
Inventor: SCHOOP PAUL
Filed: 1899-06-23
Granted: 1900-04-28
Abstract: 13,074. Schoop, P. June 23. Sodium and potassium hypochlorites.-Relates to apparatus for electrolysing liquids, especially alkaline chlorides, without a diaphragm. The solution is led to one end of an upper trough, two forms of which are shown in Figs. 1 and 4, and overflows from its opposite end to the next below, and so on to the bottom. The bottom trough is connected to the positive conductor, and the upper to the negative, and, as each trough dips slightly, or a flange thereon dips slightly, into the liquid in the next lower trough, and as there is only electrical communication through the solution, each trough becomes an anode on its upper surface, while the small part dipping into the liquid in the next lower trough becomes a cathode. The double electrode may be formed of metal, graphite, &c. In a modified form, the troughs are arranged in an inclined plane, the liquid passing from one trough to the next by a connecting-pipe arranged alternately at opposite ends, and each trough having a portion which dips over into the liquid in the next lower trough. Slots are cut out of this bent-over portion to allow of the escape of gas. In another form, the troughs are all on the same level, and each one receives an independent supply of liquid. Two or more batches of such troughs may be connected together at different intervals. Fig. 11 is a cross-section through six troughs, all on the same level, while Fig. 13 is a longitudinal section through one of these troughs, showing how the troughs are connected to a second lower set. In these Figures, A is an insulating-slab, B the channels or troughs, C the bent-over portion having cut-out slots for escape of gas, D the inlet for liquid, and E the outlet to the next lower trough: The caustic alkali and most of the chlorine combine as soon as generated to form sodium hypochlorite, a solution of which of a strength as high as 2 per cent. of active chlorine is obtained. The Provisional Specification further describes troughs, each separately fed with electrolyte, or in which the electrolyte overflows from one to the other, built up by long narrow strips of electrodes fixed along the bottom edges of V-shaped grooves formed in insulated materials, and arranged in an inclined plane. The top surface of each electrode is in contact with a large quantity of electrolyte, but the under surface with only a small quantity.

Granted: 1901-07-06
Abstract: 12,588. Boult, A. J., [United Shoe Machinery Co.]. July 12. Paring heels and other parts. Relates to a machine specially adapted for trimming spring heels. The spindle carrying the cutter is mounted so that it has a limited amount of endwise movement to suit heels of various depths. As shown in Fig. 6, the spindle is driven by a pulley B' placed between the bearings. The pulley limits the endwise movements of the spindle by abutting against one or other of the bearings. The spindle may be left free, or its movement in one direction may be resisted by one adjustable spring finger f as shown in Fig. 4. On one bearing is secured a sleeve C, which projects beyond the said bearing to provide a recess into which the cutter moves. This sleeve supports the spring finger, and also a table or work-support C<2>. The outer face of this plate is inclined as shown in Fig. 2, and it is adjustably secured by screws to a bracket hinged to the sleeve C. From the sleeve projects a piece d, Fig. 7, having a circular dovetailed groove cut in it. In this groove slides a piece d<2> carrying a screw d<4> having a flat head engaging a recess in a work guide G, Figs. 7 and 9. This guide G is pivoted on a stud d<5> projecting from the piece d<2>, and is fixed in any desired position by a nut which also secures the pin d<2> in its groove. The arrangement of guide-rest just described is an improvement on the arrangement of guides described in Specification No. 18,071, A.D. 1898. The end g of the guide may be plain, or may have a roller g<10>. In trimming tanned work in which there is no crease to receive the rand guide, a shield F‹, Fig. 14, replaces the rand guide and bears on the upper.

Abstract: 16,979. Fazan, J. Sept. 24. Acetylene.-Relates to apparatus in which the supply of water to the carbide is automatically regulated. Within the bell b is a fixed tube c, open at the bottom and provided with a cover d secured by thumb-screws. From the cover depends a tube f, to which is connected by a bayonet-joint a tube g, closed at the bottom and containing a perforated tube i, within which are placed baskets h charged with carbide. In operation, water passes from the tube c into the tube g through a hole k, and running down to the bottom of the tube g first attacks the carbide in the lowest basket. The gas produced passes through the hollow handle n, the cock o in which is open, through the pipe p into the tube c, and thence by the pipe q, the cock r in which is open, into the holder. From the holder it passes by the hole n and pipes t and s to a cooler v, and thence to the delivery pipe w. When the supply of gas exceeds the demand, the hole k is raised above the level of the water in the tube c. A safety tube x is provided for escape of gas should the holder become too full. When the tube g is to be removed for re-charging with carbide, the cocks o and r are closed.

Abstract: 6054. Caldwell, W. L. R. March 22. Shearing; bending cutting and working by unclassified operations. - A machine for producing expanded metalwork, such as is used for lathing, has a pair of slitting-rolls, the upper one 26, Fig. 1, having a number of circular discs, bevelled and notched, to co-operate with bevelled discs on the lower roll to slit the sheet as indicated in Fig. 10. At each end of the upper roll are larger discs 30, which depress the cut edges of the sheet as shown at Y, Fig. 11, to enable it to be subsequently gripped. The sheet is supplied to the slitting- rolls by feed-rolls 11, and, after being slit, is fed to the stretching-device by rollers 17. The stretching-device consists of two diverging endless chains carried by sprocket-wheels 52, 53, and carrying a number of pairs of grippers 68. The chains pass between guide-plates 66, and flanges 670, the plates having cam races to close the grippers on the sheet as it issues from the rolls 17, and release it when it passes to the setting- rolls 80. The diverging of the chains gradually stretches the sheet to the shape shown in Fig. 17, after which the strips forming the meshes are set or bent by suitably-shaped punches 83 on the roll 80 coacting with corresponding dies on the lower roll. The slitting and stretching devices may be used independently, the flat slit sheets being packed for delivery to the place for stretching &c., and the details of the stretching-device may be modified.
