Granted: 1900-11-24
Abstract: 23,816. Chester, E. D., and Chester & Co., E. Nov. 29. Crushers with gyrating heads for ores &c. The arms 6 which support the top bearing are bent in the form of spirals, and have their upper faces inclined, in order to throw the material around the upper edge of the cone 4 and in the direction of rotation of the head 9. The head 9 and its shaft 3 are made adjustable vertically in order to vary the fineness of crushing. For this purpose the footstep bearing 10 is supported on a pillar 12 which passes through a sleeve 16, bolted at 41 to the lower part of the crusher frame or to the bearing 17. A casing 15, with a wormwheel formed around its upper edge, is hung upon a flange 19 on the sleeve; in this casing and guided so as to be free to move vertically is a box 14 upon the bottom of which the pillar 12 is supported. The box carries rollers 22, which engage with a screw-thread formed upon the sleeve so that by turning the casing, by means of a worm 32 engaging with its worm-wheel, the box is raised and lowered, and with it the shaft and crushing- head. In order to make the working parts accessible for cleaning and repairs, the parts are so arranged that, by unscrewing the bolts 41, the shaft being in the meantime suspended from above, the entire bearing and adjusting mechanism may be lowered on to' a truck 42 and moved away sideways.

Inventor: GILMOUR JAMES
Filed: 1900-03-29
Granted: 1901-03-29
Abstract: 5859. Gilmour, J., and McFarlane, L. March 29. Receipts, checking and recording.-To prevent fraud by stud-grooms the services of stallions are registered automatically by an instrument on a girth. The apparatus is contained in a box 4 with lid 3, and comprises a cardboard disc 13 on the lid and a tracing watch movement in the box together with a gravity device for applying the tracer when the animal rises into the position for giving service. The tracing style 19 projects eccentrically from a disc 18<a> capable of sliding on an arbor of the watch movement, and is normally kept off the cardboard disc 13 by a flat spring 21 bearing a forked crosshead 20 which also locks the balance 20<b>. Whenever the animal rises into the position for giving service, a heavy lever 27 swings over into the position shown in broken lines, and a bevel-ended lever 23 acting with it displaces the crosshead 20 so as to apply the tracer and start the watch movement. A heavy ratchet lever 9 on the lid of the box gives angular movement to the cardboard disc to present fresh places for each tracing. An escapement mechanism 33 retards the application of the tracer so that no record is made when the animal rears needlessly.

Abstract: 12,872. Simmons, T. J. June 5. Gas and explosive-vapour engines. -T w o cylinders a, b are arranged side by side, and drive e opposite crank-pins a<3>, b<3>, above them are double-acting air pumps e, f the top of one and the bottom of the other of which charges each cylinder. Oil is supplied through the hollow pistonrods j by the variation of air pressure therein. The oil enters through two valves o<4>, o<3>, Fig. 3, which are pressed against their seats in opposite directions by a spring o<6>, and opened by tappets on the stem o<2> of the valve o<8>. The oil falls on to the valve o<8>, when it is raised together with its seating on the tube l, by the rising pressure of air in the rod j. On the next down-stroke, the fall of pressure in the rod j allows the valve o<8> to open, and the oil to fall on to the valve p, where it remains until the beginning of the following down-stroke, when the slight fall of pressure in the cylinder allows the pressure in the rod to force the oil through the valve p into the cylinder, where it is ignited, and the pressure above the valve o<8> to recharge the rod j with oil immediately after the valve p is closed. The exhaust escapes by the ports v, and the air is admitted to the cylinder by cam-actuated suction valves. The engine may be worked by gas.

Title: Improvements in or connected with Valves for Hydraulic Machines and the like, and in Packing-leathers therefor.
Inventor: MARVILL GEORGE
Filed: 1902-08-19
Granted: 1903-08-13
Abstract: 18,176. Marvill, G. Aug. 19. Stuffing-boxes and the like; pistons.-Relates to packing for the stuffing-boxes and the like of rotary valves for hydraulic machines. The form of the packing depends upon the construction of the valve, some resembling rod or spindle packing, and some approximating to the character of piston packing. The spindle or plug of the valve has a passage through it leading to the outlet orifice. Fig. 1 shows one form of valve, and Fig. 3 shows the plan of a cross-section on the line W-X. The valve-casing is made in two parts A, B, bolted together, and around the spindle C is fitted a skeleton sleeve D. The water flows in through the opening A<1> into the space C' in the spindle and out through the holes C', which in the working position are opposite the channels d' in the sleeve stanchions D', these channels leading to the outlet pipe B' connected to the power cylinder. The packing-leather! E, for this form of valve, encircles the spindle as far as allowed by the stanchion pieces D', and has flanges at its four edges which bear on the sleeve and the sleeve stanchion pieces to form a water-tight joint. Fig. 6 shows a modification of this valve, and Fig. 8 shows the plan of a cross-section on the line Y-Z. The water is fed to the spaces in the sleeve, between the casing and the spindle, and, the leather being cut away, flows through the holes 2, 1 in the spindle. The lower part of the spindle has the packing-leathers hat-shaped, and, in both forms, springs S are used to keep the packing in place, the pressure on both sides of it being balanced by means of openings J. Fig. 10 shows a sectional view of a valve in which the spindle has longi- tudinal or piston-like movement as well as rotary motion. The packing here used is of the hat- leather type. The ends of the spindles are packed in all cases with ordinary cup leathers. Fig. 12 shows a cross-section of a valve in which the water seeks to flow from the space A' to the zone C<5>. The flanged packing-leathers E are carried by the spindle arms D, and act outwardly against the inlet orifices.
