Abstract: 18,635. Marsden, Ltd., H. R., and Taylor, N. Aug. 16. Tar macadam, plant for making.- Relates to drying and heating chambers for the materials used in preparing tar macadam, and consists in the particular construction and arrangement of parts described. The plaut is shown in elevation in Fig. 1, mounted on a wheeled truck w. The broken stone &c. is fed through a hopper a to a bucket elevator b c, which may be of the kind described in Specification 9455/03, [Class 59, Grinding, crushing, &c.], and is delivered thence through a shoot d to a drying-chamber f, shown in section in Fig. 2. This chamber comprises a series of horizontal spaces g1, g2, &c., separated by flues h1, h2, &c., which are interconnected at the sides by short vertical flues i so that the hot gases from the furnace j are led along the zigzag path shown by the arrows. The horizontal plates separating the spaces and flues are readily detachable, and doors z in the side flues enable cleaning to be effected. A vertical shaft l driven from the elevator drum c carries in each of the spaces g1, g2, &c. a set of blades p, shown in plan in Fig. 6, which serve to carry the stones round the spaces. Between each space and the next is a sector-shaped shoot, such as q<4> or q<8>, Fig. 2, corresponding in size with the angle between the blades p. The shoots between successive spaces are spirally arranged, the angle between each shoot and the next being equal to the angular width of a shoot, so that the stones are carried almost completely round each space g1, g2, &c. before being dumped into the next. A shoot delivers them from the drying - chamber to an inclined mixing-cylinder t which forms no part of the invention. The Provisional Specification also states (1) that the bottom of this shoot may be perforated to allow the escape of fine material ; (2) that the stones are submerged with tar as they enter the mixing-cylinder and are raised by a rotary worm to the upper end, being finally discharged into carts or on to the ground ; and (3) that a steam-jacket partly surrounds the mixer. The pitch of the worm in the cylinder may increase upwards so that the stones remain relatively longer in the tar.

Abstract: 7299. Daeschner, R. March 23. Moulding india-rubber balls, hollow.ware, &c.- Hollow rubber articles such as balls, bulbs for syringes, &c. are made by first forming one end of the article from unvulcanized rubber by means of a mould and mandrel and subsequently withdrawing the mandrel and closing in the other end. The first part of the process may be carried out by forcing rubber between a mould and mandrel; or by placing a suitable quantity of rubber in the mould and pressing. Fig. 3 shows apparatus in which the rubber is forced from a tube h by a plunger f between a two-part mould i and a mandrel l. Hydraulic cylinders operate the plunger f, mould parts i, and mandrel l. The mould and mandrel are formed with passages for the circulation of a heating or cooling medium. In operation, the mould is closed around the mandrel, these are then heated and the rubber mass forced in by the plunger f. The mould and mandrel are then cooled and opened and the article detached from the mandrel by compressed air. The article 15 is then transferred to a mandrel 12, Fig. 6, where it is embraced by a rubber ring 1 extended by levers 3 operated by links 5 connected to a nut working on a threaded spindle 8. On rotating the spindle 8 by gearing 9, 10, the ring is caused to contract and close the other end of the article, as shown in Fig. 8, the mandrel 12 being simultaneously withdrawn by a threaded connexion 11. The part 16 is then removed and the article finished as shown in Fig. 11. In place of the ring 1, an iris-diaphragm device may be employed.
