Granted: 1908-10-22
Abstract: 26,006. Mellor, P. H. Nov. 23. Smoke - consuming ; baffles.-The fire - box arch of a locomotive type of boiler is composed of bricks a having holes b communicating with one another to form an airheating chamber in the arch. The edges of the holes are preferably chamfered as shown ; but if the edges are not chamfered, the holes in one row must be sufficiently large to overlap the holes in the adjacent rows. Each brick contains one or more holes d communicating with the space beneath the arch. The sides and back, or the back only, of the firebox is lined with fire-clay slabs w h i c h serve to protect the heads of the fire - box stays, and the slabs are provided with air passages f communicating with the space below the fire - bars, and by means of outlets k with the space beneath the arch. The air also flows through passages in the springers l to the chamber in the arch. If desired, the outlets k may be dispensed with, or the arch may be formed without a chamber, the air being supplied beneath the arch through the outlets k and the openings at the top of the slabs. Air may be supplied to the hollow arch through the lower boiler tubes, or through thimbles in any of the water legs.

Inventor: KING CHARLES DWIGHT
IPC: B31B29/00
Filed: 1909-11-22
Granted: 1910-06-23
Abstract: 27,075. King, C. D. Nov. 22. Paper bags, making.-In a machine for making square-bottomed paper bags, the mechanism which forms the diamond folds is actuated by electro-magnets in order that the machine may be worked at a higher speed. The mechanism consists of two rolls 4, 5, Fig. 3, which are geared together, each roll being provided with an end-gripper for seizing a lip of the bag-blank and side grippers for holding the side folds against the face of the roll. The endgripper carried by the lower roll 5 consists of a member 36 which is pivoted in a recess in the roll and is provided with a pair of gripping- fingers 32 and a tail-piece 38 which forms the core of a solenoid 39. The gripper is held open by a coil spring 37, and is closed when a current passes through the solenoid. The end-gripper of the upper roll 4 consists of a pair of pins 66 secured to the end of the core 64 of a solenoid 62 arranged within the roll. The pins pass through holes in the roll and engage the paper when a current passes through the solenoid, and are withdrawn within the roll by a spring when the current is cut off. The side-gripper consists of levers 43, Fig. 2, pivoted to the hub of the roll and provided with flexible fingers 42. Each lever has the core 46 of a solenoid 50 pivoted to it, a spring 49 holding the lever away from the roll. When a current passes through the solenoids, the cores 46 are drawn within the solenoids and the fingers 42 hold the folds of the bag against the roll. The duration of the current in the solenoids is governed by contactpieces on rings 75, 78 secured to the shafts of the rolls.

The prongs 9 are carried by shafts 10, 11, 12, 13, which are reciprocated by cranks, toothed gearing, and clutches. They are controlled by counterweights 16, or springs 17, so as to engage the manure as they move down the gratings 5, 6 and. slip out of it as they move up them, the rocking motion of the shafts being limited by stops. The upper surfaces of the grate bars and of the prongs are provided with cutting-edges. The gratings 5, 6 are adjustably mounted in guide-pieces 7, 8 so that the width of the discharge slot between them may be regulated. The guide-pieces 7, 8 are adjustable in slots 40. The shaking - plate 14 is actuated by spur gearing and cranks, and the distributing-prongs 15 are reciprocated laterally by spur and bevel gearing and cranks. The apparatus is used as an independent machine, or is attached to a dung-cart by bars 21.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Flour Milling.
Inventor: HEYS WILLIAM GEORGE
IPC: B02C9/04
Filed: 1910-07-29
Granted: 1911-08-29
Abstract: 18,050. Heys, W. G., [Reinhardt, W.]. July 29. Processes for reduction of grain; treating flour with gases.-The material is conveyed from one machine to another in a flour mill by means of air currents supplied from a central pumping-station. Any gases with which the flour &c. is to be treated may be mixed with the air, and any machines in which an air-blast is required may be supplied from the same source. As shown in the diagram, the pump A forces air into the trunk B, from which it is led by a branch pipe 1 to the base of the scalper E to carry the throughs to a centrifugal separator or settling-chamber F. The tails are conveyed to the chamber G from which other grinding- rolls may be fed. From the chamber F the material falls into a purifier H to which a blast is supplied by a pipe 7. The liftings are carried to a chamber N, the tails to a chamber M, and the throughs to a chamber J which feeds smooth rolls K. The flour may be conveyed to a chamber L. In each case, the air having deposited the material passes to the exhaust trunk C, which leads to a filter P, and thence by a trunk C<1> back to the pump A. The air is thus continuously circulated, and loaded valves may be provided, as at the points x, to permit the escape of excess air, which may enter through the machines. If the trunk B is omitted, the apparatus may be worked by suction only, and the air leaving the pump may then be returned to the room containing the machines. If the trunk C<1> is omitted, the apparatus can be worked by pressure without suction, and the air escaping from the filter P, or from several separate filters, may be discharged in the machine room. To ensure that the material leaving any machine is not blown back, and that no air is drawn through the machine, rotary valves having pockets, or other forms of trap, are employed. Valves may be provided to cut off the air supply from any section of the apparatus. The conveyers may be some pneumatic, some mechanical.
