Abstract: 537,362. Wringers ; washing guards., BRITISH THOMSON-HOUSTON CO:, Ltd. May 24, 1940, No. 9197. Convention date, May 24, 1939. [Class 138 (ii)] [Also in Group XXIV] A wringer is constructed with a pivoted control bar which is operated with little effort to apply and release the pressure between the rolls and to engage and disengage the drive of the rolls. The spindle of the lower roll 26, Fig. 1, is mounted in bearings in roll guards 32, 30 supported to rock in the stiles 1, 2, the stile 1 being secured to the supporting head 3 which is mounted by a sleeve 4 for adjustment about a vertical pillar 5 housing a drive shaft 10 from a washing machine. A pinion 11 on the shaft 10 can be engaged by either of the crown wheels 12, which are welded on a sleeve 13 fastened on the spindle 14 coupled to the lower roll shaft, on displacement of a yoke 20 carrying a plate 22 with an inclined slot engaged by a pin 24 in the head 3. The control lever 40 is formed with arms 39 fixed on a spindle 38 on which the upper roll 27 is mounted and the arms carry projecting pins 43, 44 adapted, on rocking the control lever, to engage rolls 53, 56, Figs. 4 and 7, mounted in vertical slides 46 guided in the stiles and normally held down against interchangeable adjustment washers 51 by springs 50 on bolts 48 extending through framework lugs 47 and screwing into the slides. Pressure is applied to the upper roll, due to the springs 50, by rocking the control lever 40 to either side, Fig. 7, whereby the pins 43, 44 engage the rolls 53, 56 and lift the slides 46 to a small extent, thereby further compressing the springs applying the pressure. The pin 44 is in stable equilibrium in this position and a flat 59 on the arms 39 bears against the framework and serves as a fulcrum to enable the lever to be shifted back to vertical arresting position with little effort. When so moved by the operation the pins 43, 44 are moved into position, Fig. 4, between the rolls 53, 56 and pressure on the upper roll is thereby released. Lugs 41, Fig. 4, on the ends of the arms 39 of the lever engage recesses 42 in the roll guards 30 and rock these when the lever is rocked, whereby through an engagement 62, 61, Fig. 1, between the guard and the yoke 20 the yoke is rocked so that pin 24 engaging the inclined slot in the yoke effects engagement or disengagement of one or other of the gears 12 with the gear 11. The rocking of the roll guard 30 may also rock the drip board 63, Fig. 4, about its pivot mounting 64.

Title: Improvements relating to apparatus for contacting liquids
Inventor: COLEBY JOHN
IPC: B01D11/04
Filed: 1958-03-26
Abstract: 860,880. Contacting liquids. GRAESSER Ltd. March 19, 1959 [March 26, 1958], No. 9664/58. Class 46. In operation an extractor of any crosssectional form, contains approximately equal amounts of two immiscible liquids with an interface near the centre line of the container 1, the liquids being supplied through the inlets 7 and 10, and travelling in opposite directions to the outlets 8 and 9. The shaft 22 carrying the rotors 24 is turned at a speed depending on the properties of the liquids being treated. A bucket elevator 30 leaving one liquid is filled with that liquid, and carries its contents into the other liquid. As it turns over, its contents begin to flow over at the edge of the slot 31 nearer the centre of the rotor, and flow up and down as the case may be through the second liquid in the form of a coarse rain, being gradually displaced in the bucket by the second liquid which flows in. If desired the said edge of the slot 31 may be serrated or provided with semi-circular cut-outs, to assist the overflow. There may be perforations in the buckets wall opposite the slot, through which the liquid may trickle out. From each mixing chamber, each liquid enters the next settling chamber through the corresponding port 20 and follows a sinuous path by way of the port 19 and the next port 20, so that there is sufficient time to allow disengagement of entrained drops while the ports are made small enough to prevent backwashing. It is convenient to tilt the apparatus, until the interface is approximately parallel to and near to the axis of the container. By means of the adjustable shutters on rods 12 and 12a the pressure drop can be adjusted and the interface kept parallel to the axis when the tilt is constant. Preferably the pressure drop should be substantially equally distributed between the two flows, as this reduces the possibility of backwashing to a minimum. In a modified arrangement, instead of ports in the partitions forming a settling chamber, external pipes or ducts may be provided at the top and at the bottom of the apparatus, leading from a mixing chamber to the first part of the settling chamber, from the first to the second part of the settling chamber and from the second part of the settling chamber to the next mixing chamber. Both of the inlet flows can be measured and automatically controlled by well known metering and pumping devices.
