Granted: 1905-02-02
Abstract: 7423. Barber, H. H., and Chorlton, J. A. March 29. Edge-runners and pans.-In edge-runner mills, especially those for grinding sticky or plastic materials, the runners are positively driven, the arrangement of the gear being such that the runners have a vertical rise and fall in accordance with the material dealt with, the scrapers also being so arranged that they remain in contact with the pan. The axles b<1> of the edge-runners b are mounted in a hollow revolving crosshead c, their outer ends being carried by brackets b<11>. The crosshead c is provided with a downwardly-extending sleeve d on which is mounted a large bevelwheel e, provided with keys or feathers e<1> engaging with keyways in the sleeve d. The wheel e is supported by the bracket f attached to the underframing of the mill, and driven by a bevel-pinion g on the driving-shaft g<1>. Through the sleeve d passes the shaft h carrying a bevel-wheel or wheels at its upper end, and with a retracting-spring h<11>. The shaft h is prevented from rotating by keys or feathers on the bracket f. The inner ends of the shafts b<1> of the edge-runners carry bevel-wheels i, gearing with the compound bevel-wheel on the shaft h and so arranged that one of the edgerunners may be placed nearer the centre than the other. The pan scrapers are mounted on shafts j<1>, Fig. 3, carried in brackets j<11> attached to the revolving crosshead. The upper ends of the shafts are provided with transverse arms k, carrying antifriction bowls k<1> engaging with forked bearings k<11>, so that the weight of the scrapers and shafts, which may be supplemented by springs or weights, keeps the scrapers against the bottom of the pan. A scraper for discharging the ground material through a hole in the bottom of the pan is also connected with a shaft through a bracket attached to the crosshead, and is put in or out of position by means of a pivoted and counterpoised lever m<1> and link m<11>. The opening in the pan through which the material is discharged may be closed by a sliding door operated by a screw.

Granted: 1905-04-22
Abstract: 9219. Filby, E. A. April 22. Drawings to Specification. Sewage, treating; aÙrating; precipitating; filtering.-Sewage is aerated and exposed to the action of light in a manner which is stated to necessitate very little vertical fall. The sewage is first passed through a small pipe or nozzle opening into a larger pipe, one end of which is open to the air or immersed in water or other sewage or liquid. The sewage enters the outer pipe with such velocity that the air or liquid is drawn through and thoroughly mixed with it. From the outer pipe, the sewage is passed to a trough or bed, so constructed that the sewage on its way through is exposed in a thin film to the action of light and air. The trough or bed may have occasional pits or depressions to retard the flow, so that sand, sludge, or other matters in suspension may be precipitated. The pits may contain clinker, stone, or other material, and either the pits or the channels may be fitted with baffle-plates. The trough, which may be of stone, brick, concrete, or metal, may have a fall or inclination if required, and may be covered by a roof of glass or other material, and heated by stoves, hot water, or other means.

Abstract: 4715. Fessenden, R. A. Feb. 26. Telegraphs ; telegraph and telephone calls.-In a wave detector, the vibrations of a telephone diaphragm excited by the Hertzian waves, break a normally closed microphonic contact, and thereby actuate an indicator or call. In the form shown in Fig. 1, a needle 4 on the end of a balanced lever 5 rests on a steel or other conducting-plate 3 which is pressed on the centre of the telephone diaphragm 1 by the spring X. A current flows from the local battery 10, through the circuit 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, X, 11, and back to the other pole of the battery. When the diaphragm 1 is caused to vibrate by the Hertzian waves from the aerial, the contact between 3, 4 is interrupted, and the current from the battery 10 is then diverted into a shunt circuit containing the relay 12. This relay closes a circuit containing a battery 13 and call bell 14. The bell generates Hertzian waves in the aerials 15, 16, which are transmitted to the aerial 18, where they remake the contact between 3, 4, and short-circuit the relay 12. There may be several contact-levers 5. Two of the apparatus in Fig. 1 may be arranged in series so as to increase the amplification. Specification No. 28,291, A.D. 1903, is referred to.
