A spraying apparatus for rinsing small particulate material to remove fine particulate material adhering thereto comprises an upper portion 2 above a lower portion 8, the upper portion comprising at least one inlet 4 for fluid and a baffle plate 14 beneath the inlet, and the lower portion comprising a plurality of layers of angle bar sections 10, the sections in each layer having their apices uppermost, being parallel with each other, and being arranged transverse to the sections in an adjacent layer. The apparatus may be used for rinsing small coal or rock material while it is passed over a screen to recover dense medium material which is washed through the screen. Preferably the sections in alternate layers are arranged parallel to each other and the apices of the sections in one layer are arranged midway between the apices of the sections in the next layer of parallel sections. A wall 12 surrounds the sections to prevent water spilling over their ends. A protective coating of pitch epoxy paint or nylon may be applied to all exposed parts.

Abstract: 862,641. Locking rotary elements. PERKINELMER CORPORATION. March 26, 1959 [March 31, 1958], No. 10630/59. Class 80 (4). Rotation of a shaft 11 relatively to a coaxial body 10 is positively stopped after a predetermined number of revolutions by the engagement of a pin 19, axially projecting from a flanged eccentric 14 fixed on the shaft 11, with an arm 16 of a lever 15 pivoted on the body 10, the lever 15 being moved, against a spring 21, from its normal position (Fig. 1) to the stopping position (Fig. 7) by the engagement between an arm 18 thereon and a pin 20 projecting from a disc 13 which is carried by the eccentric 14 so that it is rolled around the inside of a ring 12 in the body 10. The interengaging surfaces of the ring 12 and disc 13 may or may not be toothed, there being, for example, one tooth difference so that as the shaft 11 rotates, say, clockwise, and the eccentric 14 causes the pin 20 to oscillate substantially radially, the disc 13 is slowly rotated anticlockwise from the Fig. 1 position until the oscillating pin 20, which passes over the arm 16, is in a position to engage the upturned tip of the arm 18 and so move the arm 16 into its stopping position. The pin 20 may subsequently be moved to free the lever 15 by turning the shaft 11 anticlockwise, and the shaft may then be rotated anticlockwise for a number of turns determined by the epicyclic gear ratio between the shaft 11 and disc 13, until the pin 20 is again in position to move the lever 15 and stop the shaft. The disc 13 may be provided with a second pin which is angularly displaced from the pin 20 and also co-operates with the arm 18, the number of turns of the shaft 11 allowed between its stopping positions then being determined by the angular distance between the two pins on disc 13. In a modification, the two pins are replaced by a single bar extending chordwise. In a further modification, Fig. 9 (not shown), the ring 12 is mounted for limited rotation between stops in the body 10, whereby when the pin 20 first strikes the arm 18, the spring 21 is strong enough to prevent movement of the lever. It is stated that the ring 12 is then rotated by a small amount, such as one tooth pitch, until the pin 20 moves inwardly again. The shraft 11 may thus make further revolutions until the ring 12 reaches the limit of its permitted angular movement, whereupon the spring 21 yields and the arm 16 is moved as previously into the path of the pin 19 to stop the shaft 11. Specification 765,124 is referred to.

The spring for closing the door is attached to a post 15 and to a bracket arm 17 on the leaf 11, the member 17 having an enlarged head 19 with holes to provide for an adjustable attachment. The tension of the spring may also be adjusted by a turnbuckle 22. The leaves are interconnected by a link 14 and arms 13. For opening the door, depressible rails 33, 32 at the side of the mine track operate rocking shafts 29 mounted on brackets 26, links 49, 46 connecting the shafts 29 with the leaf 12. A link 46a attached to the arm 17 is operable by depressible rail members on the other side of the door.

Title: Improvements in or relating to frequency-modulated radar systems
IPC: G01S13/34
Filed: 1954-04-14
Abstract: 753,058. Frequency measurement. COMPAGNIE GENERALE DE TELEGRAPHIE SANS FIL. April 14, 1954 [April 14, 1953], No. 11071/54. Class 37. [Also in Group XL (c)] The beat frequency output of a frequency-modulated radar is fed to a counter 9 controlled by a timing device 10. This device operates to cause three successive operations to be performed cyclically and sequentially. In a first time interval equal to the period of modulation of the radar and of the order of 50 m.sec. in one example the counter counts the number of cycles in the beat frequency input. In a second interval the number counted is shown on a luminous indicator; and in the third interval the counter and indicator are reset. The display means may conveniently be 3 circles of 10 neon tubes L showing in hundreds, tens, and units the value of the count made. Owing to the shortness of the timer cycle the luminous indications appear to move round the circles of lamps as the distance to the radar target varies. To determine and indicate the distance to the target each circle of lamps is provided with a pointer 15, 151 or 1511. These are driven by motor M through shaft 1 in such a way as to rotate with velocities in decade order corresponding to the display. The motor M is controlled manually by speed regulator 2 so as to maintain the pointers in synchronism with the apparent rotation of the luminous indications in the corresponding circles. The shaft 1 is therefore rotating at a rate corresponding to the radial velocity of the target and its rotation is integrated by counter 6 to give a continuous indication of distance. The counter should be capable of being driven in both increase and decrease of distance directions. In a modification the pointers in each dial are fixed and the dials of neon tubes rotated by the motor M at such a speed that the luminous spots appear motionless opposite the ends of the pointers (Fig. 5, not shown).
