Title: Improvements in Pulling Machines.
Inventor: MILTON SENECA GEORGE
IPC: E04H12/34
Filed: 1909-05-05
Granted: 1909-12-23
Abstract: 10,639. Milton, S. G. May 5. Winch-actuated load-handling appliances; lifting by telescopic tubes.-Comprises a telescopic hauling- apparatus fur pulling rods, tubing, &c. out of the ground, in which the sliding member is raised by rope gearing and carries a pulley over which the main hauling-rope passes to a winding-drum on the stationary member. Fig. 1 is a side elevation of the apparatus, and Fig. 3 shows an enlarged front view. A tube 8 slides in a stationary tube 1 which is secured in an upright position by side bars 2 bent around at the top and secured to the tube 1. The tube 1 and supports 2 are carried on channel bars 3 separated by a block 4 formed with an extension over which the tube 1 fits. The tube 8 is carried eccentrically in the tube 1 so as to leave room for a rope 13, which is secured to the bottom of the sliding tube and passes over a pulley 20 on the tube 1 to a drum 15 by which the position of the sliding tube can be adjusted. The sliding tube is prevented from rotating by a feather sliding in a keyway on the stationary tube. The tube 2 when in its lowest position rests on a strengthening-tube 7, and is secured by a bolt 18 on which it rests when in a partly elevated position. In its highest position the sliding tube is supported by a pivoted latch 19 which can be turned up out of the way through a slot in the stationary tube when not required. The upper part of the tube 8 is strengthened by a sleeve seoured by a bolt which serves as the pivot for a pulley 33, over which the hauling-rope passes to a drum 21 operated by a power rope wound on a co-axial drum 23. A lever 31 and pawl acting on a ratchet-wheel 29 are provided for hand operating. A brake band 26 is operated by a lever 28. For transport, the appliance can be mounted on a two-wheeled carriage, a projection 37 on the end of the sliding tube being inserted in a team yoke.

Inventor: YORKE WILFRED
IPC: G01F1/52
Filed: 1909-08-30
Granted: 1910-03-17
Abstract: 19,800. Yorke, W. Aug. 30. Drawings to Specification. Liquid-meters.-A weir notch is constructed so that the rate of discharge is proportional to the ' head,' the width of the weir at any height being inversely proportional to the square root of the head, and the cross-sectional area of liquid flowing over the weir being directly proportional to the square root of the head. Since the coefficient of discharge varies slightly with the shape of the issuing jet, the shape of the weir is slightly modified from that obtained by the above proportions. The weir may be symmetrical about a vertical axis or one side may be vertical, or of any convenient outline, the other side being determined by setting off the proper widths. The weir may also be formed from two plates, so fastened that they are capable of relative adjustment. If the weir be formed in the side of a tank, a float in the tank records on a rotating drum actual rates of discharge.

Granted: 1912-03-22
Abstract: 7222. Rees, H. J., and Metals Extraction Corporation. March 22. Basic copper and zinc sulphates, sulphites, and other salts salts in general.-Salts of zinc, copper, &c., but especially zinc sulphate and sulphite, are precipitated in an insoluble basic condition from solutions, such as solutions of zinc or copper bisulphite or sulphate obtained by treating roasted ore with sulphurous acid solution, by submitting the solution to the hot gases from a coke fire while moving in thin films. The solution is caused to flow over a heated surface, or, preferably, over a number of heated surfaces in cascade, such as a tower having internal shelves, the liquid flowing downwards while hot gases from a coke fire are delivered to the base of the tower below the lowest shelf so as to travel against the liquid. Preferably, the lowest shelf is much hotter than the liquid escaping from the tower. The precipitated salt is found in part in the escaping liquid, and in part as a deposit on the shelves, from which it is removed through gas-tight doors by scraping.
