Granted: 1898-04-30
Abstract: 2115. Mayer, J. Jan. 26. Separating or sorting grain.- Machine for separating grain from small seeds and other impurities in rotary pitted cylinders, a double-acting machine being shown in Fig. 1. The grain is fed from the hopper H by the distributing- scoops h to the forked supply chamber B, having tumbling discharge flaps C provided with locking-catches d. The cylinders A are open-ended, and rest on rollers f, toothed wheels g driving toothed rings upon their peripheries The receiving- devices D, which catch the seeds &c. carried up in the pits in the cylinders, are supported on standards k, and are adjustable with respect to the cylinders. In each revolution each cylinder receives one charge of grain, separates the impurities, and discharges the purified grain. This is effected as follows:-When the aperture a in the cylinder arrives opposite the flap C, the stud d<1> raises the catch d and the flap falls, discharging the grain into the cylinder. As the latter continues to rotate, the flap is closed, and when one revolution is nearly completed the grain is discharged, as seen at the left of Fig. 1.

These guides 1 are carried by the spiders c, and their turnedup ends engage grooves in a fixed disc 6, so that, as the spiders revolve, the guides 1 reciprocate. The threads k are transferred from one guide to the other by the bobbins j being shunted across from side to side by forks n pivoted at o and acted on by sliding rods having pins engaging grooves in the spiders q. A spring catch 7 holds the bobbin carriages firmly on one or other of the pins. Fig. 3 shows diagrammatically the paths of the two sets of threads. A clutch 13 allows the spiders to be turned independently when putting on or taking off the bobbins.

Abstract: 15,722. Bartlett, E. D. Sept. 4. Roller slides; changeboxes.-Relates to an apparatus in which a number of cut films are wrapped on a spool, so that by unwinding a band from the spool the films are exposed one at a time. The spool A, Fig. 2, has a flat core, to which one end of the opaque band B is attached. The cut films C are folded in on both sides of the Hat core by the band B as it is wrapped round the spool. To make an exposure, the band B is unwound by winding it on another roller, or by pulling it through a light-tight slit in the side of the camera. The film, which is uncovered in the focal plane of the lens, is held in position by elastic bands D covering its ends. On further unwinding the band B, the exposed film is pulled from underneath the elastic bands and drops to the bottom of the camera. The band enclosing the films may be folded zig-zag instead of round a spool. Dummy cards may be fastened to the band B to stiffen it. In the Provisional Specification it is stated that glass plates in sheaths may be used instead of films.

Abstract: 8557. Cowan, W. H. April 25. Gas meters; coin action.-Relates to improvements on the invention described in Specification No. 28,828, A.D. 1896. The prepayment wheel b of a gas meter of the screw type is operated by a wheel or handle f carrying a disc e. This disc carries a pocket g into which a coin is inserted through a slot h, and as the handle f is turned, the coin is held in engagement with the teeth c on the wheel b by a shield consisting of a fixed part j and an adjustable part k. This adjustable part is fixed to a price-varying disc set by a pin o having a pointer moving over a scale, or the disc has graduations exposed at an aperture in the casing. The part k is cut away at k<1>, and the disc carries a cam m consisting of a rod of thick wire set at an angle so as to eject the coin from the pocket g, which may have grooves g<1>. Stops n and n<1> are arranged in the path of the coin and its pocket.
