Title: Improvements in the Manufacture of Food Preparations from Cereals
Inventor: REESE LOUIS CHARLES
Filed: 1908-01-22
Granted: 1908-06-11
Abstract: 1528. Reese, L. C. Jan. 22. Malt extracts and compositions.-Food preparations are obtained by treating with water a mixture of malted cereal, unmalted cereal, and bran or offal of the milling process. The mixture is kept for some time at a temperature suitable for the conversion of the starch by the diastase, and is filtered, and the filtered liquid is evaporated in vacuo. The residue may be heated with water under pressure to a temperature of 110-130‹ C., and the liquid extract may be evaporated together with the filtrate from the first extraction.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Tipping Foundry Ladles.
Filed: 1908-02-24
Granted: 1908-05-07
Abstract: 4159. Aplerbecker H³tte, Br³gmann, Weyland, & Co. April 23, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Foundry ladles.-In an apparatus for tipping foundry ladles, the ladle is lifted from its carriage and tipped in one movement. The carriage b with the ladle a is run between stands e, provided with bearings for a pair of rotary disks or wheels g, which are a sufficient distance apart to allow the ladle to be run between them. The inner faces of the disks are provided with open bearings k, which, when the disks are rotated, receive pins r carried by a ring q on the ladle and lift the ladle from its supporting-brackets d. The continued rotation of the disks brings a bar n which extends between them against the lower part of the ladle, which is thereby tipped. The bearings k and bar n are arranged so that the spout of the ladle, during tipping, is situated in the axis of rotation of the disks. Balance weights l facilitate the tipping. The disks are rotated by pinions p which engage with toothed segments i on the disks. Cross-bars m connect the disks and cause them to move together.

Title: An Attachment for Turning Multiple Diameter Shafts.
Inventor: NEWTON ALBERT EMERSON
Filed: 1908-04-16
Granted: 1909-04-16
Abstract: 8525. Newton, A. E. April 16. Lathes; lathe centres; lathe drivers.-Shafting is turned to a number of different diameters by an attachment which may be applied to exising lathes. A number of tools T, Fig. 2, are carried by rests on a common saddle so that as the saddle is traversed the tools come into action successively, and when the saddle contacts with a stop the shaft is finished, thus facilitating repetition work. The driver plate is keyed to the lathe spindle to enable it to be rotated backwards when using the attachment. The saddle consists of back and front guiding-limbs 34, 32, Fig. 7, connected at one end by a cross-limb 33, which may carry a slide-rest 35 so that the attachment can be used for ordinary turning. The limb 34 carries a number of sliderests 37 which can be clamped adjustably at 38. Each rest carries a tool-post 41, adjustable at 42 and formed with either two or three tool-slots 46, Fig. 10, closed by a cap 44 carrying an adjustable block 51, which is clamped at 52 and has an L-slot to receive a pivoted steady-rest 55, clamped in position by an eccentric 58 but arranged to be turned back to allow the rest to pass the tailstock. The roller-slides 62 are adapted to engage guides on either side of the support 55, and duplicate adjusting-screws 64 are provided. The caps 44 - form inclined tops to the tool grooves, and the tools are clamped by gibs 48 collared to screws 47 at 49. To allow tools to pass the tailstock even when set to turn a shaft of smaller diameter than the back-centre, the tailstock-mandrel 23, Fig. 3, is made of the same diameter as the centre, which is screwed into it and then locked from rotation by a screw and groove 28. The centre is clamped after adjustment at 25 by a split-bush 29. The centre and mandrel are grooved at 31, Fig. 5, and the rear face of the tailslock is cut away to expose this groove. The rear limit 34 of the saddle is overhung to clear the base 16, which is clamped on the bed by eccentric gear 22, 20 and carries the tailstock laterally adjustable at 18.
