Title: Improved Process and Apparatus for Granulating Slag.
IPC: C21B3/08
Filed: 1909-02-05
Granted: 1909-09-16
Abstract: 2849. "Pyrotrass" Soc. Anon. pour la Fabrication du Trass Artificiel (BrovetÚ) et Ses Applications Industrielles. Feb. 13, 1908, [Convention date]. Granulating or pulverizing.-In an apparatus for granulating and tempering slag, the slag flows down a trough A and falls in a thin sheet in front of tuyeres B arranged to deliver jets a of air or dry steam under pressure. The slag is disintegrated, and preferably falls through a sufficient distance to allow the granules to become sufficiently solid to prevent agglomeration as they are collected. If sufficient height is not available, a drum provided with blades C constructed of slats is arranged to project the granules towards a series of inclined planes D, upon which flow streams of water from perforated pipes I. The granules are thus washed on to a conveyer E, and thereby transferred to a wagon W. The granules which do not reach the planes D fall down the slope J into a vat H and are removed by the conveyer. The Specification, in the original form, as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) states also that water under pressure may be discharged from the tuyeres for disintegrating the slag. This subject-matter does not appear in the Complete Specification as accepted.

Granted: 1910-05-23
Abstract: 12,054. Allbook, H, Hashfield, M., and Ainley, H. F. May 21. Sewing-machines; needles, vibrating. - In embroidery machines in which the lateral vibration of the needle-bar are varied automatically by a pattern-cam, the motion of the patterncam is stopped automatically at the end of each section of the design; and the speed of the cam may be varied while the machine is in action. The needle-bar B is connected by a bar b to a block D in the usual cam-operated quadrant C, and the block D is moved in the quadrant by a lever E pivoted at a', and rocked against the action of a spring f by the cam-surfaces g of the pattern-cam G acting upon a roller stud e. The cam G is secured to a wheel H which is rotated by a worm k mounted on a shaft K which is driven by a pawl and ratchet-wheel from the shaft a. The pawl P is carried by a lever 0, which is actuated by the strap N of an eccentric M on the shaft a. In order to control the speed of the pattern cam a masking-disk for keeping the pawl out of engagement with the ratchet teeth during part of its stroke is provided. The disk is actuated by a lever T. The driving- pawl is rendered inactive at the end of each section of the design by a cam v<1> which is moved axially to raise it off the ratchet-wheel. The pattern-cam G is provided with slots g<1> corresponding with the end of a design section, and a pin w, which normally rides on the face of the cam, drops into each slot as it presents itself, under the action of a spring y upon the lever Z which carries the pin. The pin actuates a latch, which moves the rod V carrying the cam o<1>. To re-start the cam G, the operator pulls out the lever Z against the action of a spring y. The pin w has a spring-piece w<1> so that the pin at once begins to ride upon the cam. The part w' is longer than the part w, to prevent the pin from passing over the next slot. According to the Provisional Specification, the speed of the pattern cam may be controlled by driving its actuating-pawl from a face-cam, and controlling the engagement between the pawl and the face-cam.

Filed: 1909-10-28
Granted: 1910-09-29
Abstract: 24,755. Hollingworth, E., [Crompton & Knowles Loom Works]. Oct. 28. Weft, cutting; weft - replenishing mechanism. - The mechanism for cutting the weft from the ejected bobbin is mounted on a lever 18, Figs. 5 and 6, which is rocked by connexion with a lever 10 provided with a give-way device engaging a knob or projection 5<1> on the transferrer dog 5, and is thereupon moved inwards by the engagement of a V- shaped slot 20<1> on its hub with a collar 20 secured to a rod 19, the weft-cutting mechanism being thus moved inwards nearer to the selvedge when in operative position, thereby diminishing the strain on the weft while it is being cut. The cutting-mechanism comprises an upper cutting-blade 34 and an upper clamping-jaw 27 fixed to a plate 25 on the lever 18, and also a lower cutting-blade 35, and a lower clamping-jaw 26, which is pivoted on a screw 26<1> on the plate 25 and is provided with two screws 30 engaging the angular or cam-shaped slots 31<1> in a slide 31. A pin 39 on the lower clamping-jaw engages an annular or camshaped slot 38<1> in a plate 38 secured to the lower cutting-blade, so that this blade is moved with the 'jaw 26. A spring 28 normally closes the cutting-blades. When the lever 18 is rocked into operative position, the slide 31 is engaged by a roll 32 on a bracket on the lay, and the clamping-jaws and cutting-blades are opened to receive the weft end, which is cut when the spring 28 closes the cutting-blades after the slide 31 has left the roll 32 on the continued forward movement of the lay. When the lay returns, the roll 32 passes under and raises the slide 31 in the studs 30 without moving the lower' clamping-jaw. If the shuttle is improperly boxed when the lever 18 is moved into its operative position, it engages this lever, but a smash is prevented by the backward movement of the cutting-mechanism and the yielding connexion of the lever 10 with the bunter 5 which is lowered to its operative position. The clamping-jaws 26, 27 may be made of fibre &c.
