Abstract: 22,412. Fairweather, W., [Stein, S.]. Sept. 27. Retractive switches. - A switching-device, particularly adapted as a hook switch for telephones, comprises sets of contact - springs 19, 20 and 23, 24, a lever 5 actuating the springs in succession through means such as a roller 7, and an additional set of springs 28, 29, 30 two of which make momentary contact during the movement of the lever 5 from one position to the other, means being provided for extending the duration of such contact. The lever 5 is connected with the hook switch lever 14 by means of a projection 15, the two levers being normally held in the raised position by a spring 16. The other end of the lever 5 carries a U-shaped carrier 9 in which is pivoted a weight 12, having a tilting movement limited by a stop 13. A roller 33 on the weight 12 engages the forked end of the spring 28, and carries this spring against one of the springs 29, 30 when the lever 5 is actuated. The springs remain in contact until the pressure on the spring 28 overcomes the inertia of the weight 12, which then tilts over and breaks contact. The circuit arrangements are shown in Fig. 6, 21 being the receiver, 25 the transmitter, 27 the talking battery, and 36 an auxiliary signalling- battery.

Abstract: 19,195. Greig, J. N. F., and Greig, A. F. Aug. 22. Rotary-chamber apparatus; air, supplying.- Tea is dried in a rotary cylinder from which it passes to a second drying-cylinder wherein it is turned about on a series of tilting trays and afterwards is dropped on a cooling-cylinder and discharged. Air passes through the cooling- cylinder, through furnace-heated tubes, and through the second and first driers. As shown, leaf falls from a hopper 1 and guide 2 to the rotary drier 3, which may be longitudinally corrugated and is heated by furnace gases passing through the casing 4 to an uptake. The leaf passes through a screw or conveyer 6 to the second drier 7, which is divided, as seen in Fig. 5, into two compartments 8, 9 each divided into radial compartments 10 with tilting traps 11 and outer flaps 12. The material falls into the lowest inner compartment, 13, the tilting cover of which is open; at the highest point 14, it falls to the bottom of the cell, formed by the now closed cover; at the lowest'point 15 it is passed to the corresponding outer compartment and is carried round and shaken again, falling out at 20. The tilting of the trays 11 is effected by a fixed cam 16 against which levers 17 on the ends of the trays rub as they pass round. The cams have gaps 18, 19 where the leaf is allowed to fall to the next outer compartment. The outer flaps fall out at the opening 20 and are closed again when they come against the drum cover 24. The discharge device 21, Figs. 1 and 3, comprises a rotary cylinder formed with pockets or corrugations 22 on which the tea is carried out of the air casing surrounding the drying-cylinder. Air passes through the interior of the cylinder, cooling the leaf, and is heated in tubes A, B and passed by a fan 23 to the drying-cylinders.

Abstract: 1941. Anderson, R. Jan. 23. Catch gear of mine-cage type.-Relates to safety appliances for preventing the falling of pit cages in the event of the hoisting-cable breaking, of the kind in which the two cages are connected by an auxiliary cable passing over a spring-supported head sheave, and comprises means for applying a brake to the head sheave when the weight of the cages is taken by the auxiliary cable. The shaft l of the head sheave carries a brake drum k, and is supported in bearings l<1> resting on springs o. When the main cable is broken, the bearings l<1> are depressed, and a linkage p, x<1>, a is actuated to operate a trip gear and to release a weighted bar s. This bar, in falling, swings a lever w pivoted at w<1>, one arm being connected directly to one brake block j, and the other arm being coupled by a link y to the other block i. The head sheave is thus brought to rest and held stationary, thereby preventing the cages from falling down the shaft.
