Title: Improvements in and relating to the Manufacture of Dies for Wire-drawing and the like.
IPC: B24B5/48
Filed: 1912-01-06
Granted: 1912-05-30
Abstract: 536. British Thomson-Houston Co., [General Electric Co.]. Jan. 6. Band apparatus; block, rubber, and like apparatus. - Drawing-dies formed of diamonds and like hard materials are formed by grinding a smooth face on two pieces A, A<1> and cutting a groove across the smooth face of one of them ; the two pieces are then mounted in a setting with their smooth faces in contact and an alined groove is then cut in the second piece to complete the die orifice. In a modified method, the two pieces are first temporarily mounted with their smooth faces in contact, and conical depressions are formed in opposite sides for alinement. The stones are then taken apart. and semicircular grooves are cut across them, a piece of wire B being employed for maintaining alinement for final setting. The groove may be formed by a reciprocating weighted fine wire C passing through wiping-devices D containing abrasive material and over grooved wheels F. To round the edges of the holes, the die may be mounted in a chuck, and a wire passed through it, the chuck being moved transversely as it rotates.

Title: Improved Apparatus for Separating Fine Material such as Sand and other Impurities from Coarser Material.
Inventor: DERSCHOW CARL
IPC: B07B4/02
Filed: 1912-02-20
Granted: 1913-02-20
Abstract: 4295. Derschow, C. Feb. 20. Separating or sorting by pitted plates.-In apparatus for sorting or separating fine material such as sand, small seeds, &c. from grains &c. in which plates or sections having cellular or pitted surfaces are employed, the sections are arranged to form normally an unbroken separating-floor except when they are momentarily tipped or tilted. The plates may be arranged radially around a vertical axis, as shown in Fig. 2, or they may be arranged as shown in Fig. 5, in which case they are normally fixed. In the form shown in Fig. 2, the plates p are attached to a hollow rotatable shaft d, which is given an eccentric motion by means of an inner solid eccentric shaft l or by other suitable means. Each segmental plate is hinged at q to a supporting-rod h, and by means of projections t, s the plates are tilted to empty the small seeds deposited in the cavities into a hopper z. Just before the plates are tilted, they may be arranged to pass underneath a brush or scraper to prevent the good grain passing into the hopper z. As an alternative construction, the feed-hoppers may be arranged to rotate, instead of the pivoted plates. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 4, the pitted plates 3 are oblong, and are mounted in rows on spindles 22 carried by the frame 23, the frame being suitably shaken by a cranked shaft. The mixed grain passes from the hoppers 7, 8 down the inclined plates, the coarser particles passing away through the shoot 6. One or more rollers 39, Fig. 12, are provided on the links of each chain, whereby the plates are tilted successively and the small grain &c. discharged into the shoot 5. Counterweights 43 return the plates. To prevent the grain to be sorted from approaching a plate that is actually tilted, stops 16, Fig. 10, on the chain are arranged following the roller or rollers 39 to engage the levers 17 and close the hopper openings 18, 19 in the manner shown. According to the Provisional Specification, a travelling band or conveyer with two or more hoppers which are automatically filled with grain are arranged to feed the plates.

Abstract: 9095. Strachan, R. P., and Strachan & Henshaw. April 17. Single - rail and suspended vehicles. -The travelling or traction wheels of telpher machines are arranged in the form of an inverted V or equivalent over the track rope or rail, so that a wedging action results from the weight of the machine and intensifies the grip available for traction or braking purposes. Figs. 1 and 2 show gripping-wheels c, c<1>, c<2> arranged at an angle on opposite sides of the track r. The wheels may have a safety flange at their upper end, and may be driven by electric or other motors either directly or through gearing. Each wheel may be driven by a separate motor, or more than one wheel may be driven from the same motor. In a modification, traction wheels with V-shaped grooves in which the track rope jams may be used, the distance between the opposed faces of the groove being made adjustable. In further modifications, conical wheels may be arranged on vertical, horizontal, or inclined axes at opposite sides of the track, so that the surfaces engaging the track form the inverted V. The-gripping-wheels may engage a separate rope arranged parallel with the track rope.

Abstract: 2210. Morris, J. S., and Morris, E. G. Jan. 27. Lift doors, operating.-The vertically sliding well-doors of a lift are actuated by means of a vertically-guided weight so connected to the cage that, when the cage approaches a floor from either direction, the weight falls, and when the cage leaves the floor, the weight rises. In the example shown, the door is arranged to sink into the floor on opening. The door c is suspended by cords i, which pass over drums j upon a shaft k and over guide-pulleys to a counterweight. The weight b is attached to the cage a by a cord d, which is fixed at e and passes under a sheave on the weight and then over a sheave g and between sheaves h, h<1> to the cage. A platform o is supported by cords p attached to a drum q on the shaft k. The weight n is heavier than the door and platform o taken together. Thus, when the cage passes from below or above to a floor level, the weight b is lowered to engage the platform o and thus rotate the shaft k to pay out the cords i and lower the door. When the point of attachment of the cord d to the cage passes above or below the pulleys h, h<1>, the weight b rises, and the platform is raised and also the doors by the counterweight.
