Granted: 1911-09-07
Abstract: 22,900. Clemesha, A. Oct. 4. Mills and apparatus. -Apparatus for grinding almonds, coffee, &c., pulping apples and like f r u i t, and shredding soap, wax, &c., consists of a rotary cylindrical or conical casing a, Figs. 1 and 5, with a rasping-surface formed by perforations and indentations, and an oppositely - rotating beater b comprising radiating arms with inclined and preferably adjustable bars or blades b<1> at the ends. Or the casing and beater may rotate in the same direction at different speeds. The casing is carried by an end plate a' and a ring or flange a<2>, a series of rings a<4> on the connecting-bolts a<3> preventing the casing from bulging outwards. The disk a' is mounted on a hollow shaft e, which can be moved along the beatershaft c when it is desired to clean or repair the machine, part of the surrounding cover j being removable to allow this. Openings a<5>, which can be opened or closed by a plate i, are made in the disk a<1> to allow seeds or refuse to pass into a shoot h when fruit is being operated upon. The feed-hopper f has an adjustable shutter f<2>, and the ground or pulped material is delivered into a receiver g fitted with a slide g<1>. The rasping-surface may be formed separate from the casing and secured thereto, the casing then being perforated only, and when so made and with the cutters removed, the casing may be used for cleaning currants &c.

Granted: 1911-12-30
Abstract: 17,051. Goss, F. July 25. Time-alarms.-The hands of a clock are connected in an alarm circuit and each carry contact-wheels which pass over series of contact-plates connected to a plug switchboard, the circuit being closed for any required time by means of plug-cords. The minutehand contact-plates k are arranged in sets at suitable intervals, every five minutes in the example shown, the plates in each set being of different widths to allow different durations of contact. Sets of plug contact blocks are provided corresponding to these minute-hand contacts, and another set of blocks j for the hour-hand contacts. The two hands f, f<1> are insulated and connected to the circuit containing the battery d and bell e, the bell being situated in the clock casing, and the clock is set for any required time by connecting the proper hour and minute contact blocks together by a plug cord q. The use of different contact blocks for the minute-hand contacts prevents the false ringing which would otherwise occur if one minute-plug block were connected to two or more hour-blocks, one of the latter blocks being also connected to another minute-plug block. An extra bell m<1> may be connected, in parallel with the first, to the terminals m, and an extra battery s connected to the terminals n. The plug sockets may be made of different sizes, shapes, or colours, and corresponding plugs provided to prevent confusion; the plug cords may be permanently connected to the hour-blocks, and may be retracted by a weight or spring.

Abstract: 29,223. Sterne, L. Weigert-. Dec. 28. Burners, regulating and controlling ; atmospheric gas burners.-The supply of air and gas to a burner b is controlled electrically by means of a thermostat comprising a fluidcontainer c connected with a pressure gauge g. The valves u, 1 are actuated by solenoids p, q, and the air valve u is adapted to be re-opened after the gas valve 1. For this purpose the core r of the solenoid p is fitted with a dashpot device comprising a plunger 17 and a non- return valve 18, which allows unrestricted movement of the plunger upwards, but retards its movement downwards. Instead of a dashpot, a single solenoid may be used having its core connected by a lost-motion device with the valves. Another arrangement for this purpose is shown in Fig. 2, in which an adjustable index is used having two spring contacts 21, 22 connected separately with the two solenoids. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 3, additional movement of the core at a higher temperature is effected by means of a solenoid with two windings controlled by two contacts h, h' which are connected in circuit at different temperatures.

Abstract: 21,957. Pollak, J. E., [Steam Power Devices Co.]. Dec. 6, 1912. Jointing.-Relates to the fusing of boiler tubes to headers and tube-plates, preferably by the oxy-acetylene flame, and consists in arranging the tubes to project slightly beyond the tube-plate and in reducing the thickness of the tube-plate around the holes to substantially the thickness of the tubes. Fig. 5 shows the tube holes counterbored on the underside of the tube-plate, leaving a thickness of metal equal to the thickness of the tube. The tube-plate is also grooved near the edge so that the thickness of metal outside the groove is equal to the thickness of the upstanding flange of the outer shell. In Figs 6 and 7, the plate is shown grooved on the upper side, the grooves extending in two directions at right-angles and being enlarged at their intersection by drilling. Fig. 9 shows the flange around the tube hole and the end of the tube bevelled, thus forming a recess in which the fusing-material, such as a soft steel wire, is placed. The grooving may be done by drilling holes around and between the tube holes, as shown in Fig. 12. Instead of the tube ends and the tube-holes being circular, they may be square.
