Abstract: 14,303. Goodwin, F. T. H. June 20. Disk and like mills; wet grinding.-In apparatus for grinding or milling potters' and like materials, and mixing the same with water, in which the coarse material is fed in at the centre and the fine or ground material is carried away by overflow at the top of the pan, the grinding or grading pan is provided at the upper edge with an annular overflow trough having a discharge connexion. The vertical driving - shaft c, Fig. 1, carrying a boss f with radial arms g between which the stones or runners i are arranged, passes through a sleeve b projecting from the base of the pan a, and is supported in bearings d, c. The boss f encloses the sleeve b, which extends above the level of the pan outflow, so as to prevent any material from escaping past the shaft r. An external flange k formed on or attached to the pan and extending above and below the upper edge of the pan forms therewith an annular overflow trough which is provided with a discharge pipe fitted with a valve l. The water and materials to be ground are fed by pipes n, o into a funnellike part m surrounding the boss f and, preferably, secured thereto. The treated material may flow into a second pan p, Fig. 2, for further grading or separating. One or more radial stirring-arms s are carried by the boss r, which is surrounded by a funnel q. The fine material is carried over into the weir and trough formed by the flange x, and passes away by the outlet pipe y. One or more valved discharge openings 2 may be provided in the bottom of the pan through which the heavier particles can be drained away periodically.

Abstract: 16,858. Habl³tzel, H. July 22. Hank type. - A machine for treating hanks hung on movable carriers 21, with dyeing, bleaching, or other liquors contained in a. trough 1, comprises a pair of endless flexible conveying-members 11 mounted in a frame 8 m o v a b l e over the trough, each of which passes over two upper and two lower wheels, the upper ones 12, 12<a> being nearer each other than the lower ones 10, thus providing inclined slopes 11<a>, 11<b> for lifting and lowering the carriers taken up and put down by doublehooked dogs 18 provided on the conveying-members 11. In addition there may be a taking-off carriage 24 having a lifting - device 32 for the carriers 21 and an inclined frame 40 which gradually sinks at one end during the taking-off of the carriers; the carriage 24 can be coupled to the frame 8, under which conditions its mechanism is driven from that of the frame. The chain-wheels 12, 12<a> are driven from an electric motor 14, arranged in the frame 8, through chains 17. If the hanks are only to be swung to and fro, lifted and turned in the trough, the frame 8 only is used. The main-shaft 13 is turned either by the motor 14 or by hand-drive 22, the chains 11 are driven and, through toothed wheels 9<a>, 9<b>, wheels 9 gearing with racks 5 cause the frame 8 to travel over the vat. If it is desired to lift the hank carriers with the hanks out of the trough 1, the carriage 24 is connected. Dogs 33 lift the carriers off the trough 1 and carry them to a point 21<b>, where they slip down a slope 41 on to the frame 40, Fig. 3. As soon as sufficient carriers have accumulated, the frame 40 is removed and replaced by an empty one.

Abstract: 19,838. Kremenezky, J., [Firm of]. April 16, [Convention date]. Filaments, supports for, making. A machine for sealing radial wires simultaneously into one or more beads previously made on a glass stem, preferably without exposing the wires to heating-flames, is shown in plan in Fig. 2. Wire-feeding slides 2 constructed as shown in Fig. 4 are movable radially towards and from a stem, which is supported in the working position on a pivoted arm, preferably part of a star 16 carrying a series of spring holders 14, each below an adjustable positioning stop. The star 16 is spring-supported, so that it can be depressed and turned by hand to bring a new stem from the preheating position into the working position, and a completed support into the position where a fresh stem is inserted. The slides 2 may be reciprocated by a disk 10, turned by a handle 18 and having cam-slots 11, Fig. 2, acting on a stud 12, Fig. 4, on each slide, sufficient lost motion being afforded by a plate 13 on the slide to allow a wire-gripper 8 to be closed and opened before the slide moves inwards and outwards respectively, whereby wire is drawn from stationary reels 6, Fig. 2, through straightening-jaws 28. Burners for softening the glass are preferably turned down as the slides move inwards, before the wires are inserted. Bending of the wire ends projecting from nozzles on the slides is prevented by guiding each wire in a notch in a pivoted yoke 25, Fig. 4, which is moved downwards and upwards by the lost motion 13, correspondingly to the operation of the gripper 8. The wire when inserted is cut off by a pivoted knife 20 operated by a lug on the camdisk 10. For sealing wires into several beads on the same stem, several sets of slides are superposed, staggered if necessary, and may be operated by one handle. Burners for sealing may be carried by the stem-holders or ring burners may be mounted on the framework, and are controlled automatically in any known manner.

Abstract: 64. Mellor, T., and Worthington & Co., A. J. Jan. 1. Embossing. - A moire effect is produced on ribbed knitted fabrics of silk, or artificial silk, or either of these mixed with cotton or linen, by passing the fabric between a pair of rollers having circumferential grooves and ribs and intermittently displacing it laterally or both laterally and longitudinally so as to produce a displacement or flattening of some of the ribs of the fabric. The rollers 1, 2, Fig. 2, are provided at intervals or throughout their length with circumferential grooves and ribs which preferably correspond in pitch with the pitch of the ribs or flutings on the fabric, and are hollow for heating by gas burners. The upper roller is adjustably pressed against the lower roller, which is driven by worm gear from a shaft which also drives a shaft 4 carrying cams A, B acting through pivoted spring-controlled levers C, D to reciprocate bars E, F. Fingers 6 are adjustably mounted on the bars and are fitted with a grooved wheel, or bristles g<2>, Fig. 7, or a toothed strip of rubber or the like, which engages the ribs of the fabric so as to displace it laterally as it passes to the rolls. In a modification, the bars E, F are replaced by rods o, o<1>, Fig. 5, which, in addition to a longitudinal reciprocating movement for displacing the fabric, receive a small rocking movement from cams r mounted on the roller shafts which act on spring-controlled arms q feathered on the rods and thereby effect a stretching or retarding longitudinally of the fabric in addition to the lateral displacement. The fingers may be thrown out of action, and the fabric displaced by hand. Soft or thin fabrics may be immersed in or sprayed with size, for instance dilute gelatine, before feeding to the machine.
