Granted: 1909-09-30
Abstract: 24,883. Inglis & Co., G., and Inglis, G. Nov. 19. Conveyers. -A conveyer, particularly for use in winning coal from underground workings, comprises a sectional trough in which is drawn to and fro a series of scrapers, and which discharges into the tubs where it passes over the main road. Means are described for adjusting the trough as the face advances. The trough is preferably made in two portions A, B, connected by a plate C bridging the middle road D and having an opening c through which the coal discharges into the tubs beneath. Each section of the trough is connected to the adjacent one by bolts passing through eyes a<1>, which are formed in plates a<2> secured to the sides. The scrapers comprise pairs of bars e secured to the double links e<1> of the chains. Each end of the chain has a cross plate f<2> in which is mounted a shackle to which are secured the ends of a traction cable h passing around pulleys i, i<1> j and tension pulleys k and operated by a winding-engine L. The scraper chain is equal iu length to that of one of the portions A, B and as it is drawn to and fro the coal is brought from each side of the face to the road D. When it is necessary to adjust the trough to the face, the rope h is disconnected, leaving the scraper chain lying in one of the sections, and the plate C is removed. A skid or bracket m, Fig. 10, is then attached to each end of the portion A, and the ends of the rope h are secured to the shackles m<1>. The pulley il is next advanced, Fig. 3, and the portion A is hauled into position from the right side to the left. The skids are attached to the portion B. which is drawn to the right, and finally, the skids are detached, the plate C is readjusted, and the rope h secured again to the scraper chain.

Abstract: 9636. Scammell, J. B. April 20. Fatty oils, sulphuretted. Relates to compositions of the kind described in Specification 21,229/01 made by adding cellulose to an oil, and stirring in a solution of sulphur chloride, which causes the cellulose to dissolve, and then the whole to solidify. The present invention consists in soaking the cellulose in a fatty acid before adding it to the oil, and dissolving in the oil a gum resin soluble at low temperatures. In an example, cotton or the like is soaked in butyric acid, dried, and added in the proportion of from 1 to 5 per cent to oil, such as cottonseed oil, in which from 1 to 5 per cent of gum elemi has been dissolved. Chloride of sulphur amounting to about 20 per cent of the oil is dissolved in a solvent, such as paraffin. A third of this solution is added to the oil, and dissolves the cotton. Any acid formed is preferably neutralized. The remainder of the chloride is added and the whole solidifies.
