Abstract: 28,933. Clark, J. C. Dec. 16. Edge - runners and pans and like mills; ball-and-ring mills. - In a mill with a rotating basin 59 and crushing-rolls 65, a pressurering 70 is pressed against the rolls by three equally-spaced and independently - adjustable springs 79 contained in tubular members 75 carried by a plate 72 supported by brackets 73 on the framing of the mill. The ring 70 is preferably made in two parts, one part constituting about three - fourths of the ring, to facilitate removal. The springs 79 press pins or plungers 78 against the ring, and are adjustable by means of screws 81. The vertical shaft 26, which carries the basin 59, is supported at the lower end in a step bearing 27, and at the upper end in a sleeve 28 carried by a cross-member 29. The shaft 26 is driven by bevel-gearing 24, 25 from the driving-shaft 21, and is provided at the upper end with a nut 33 which bears against the hub 30 of the wheel 25, which rests on a ballbearing 31 on the flange 32 of the sleeve 28. A depending flange 37 on a collar 36 on the hub 30 overhangs a sleeve 35 on the flange 32, and excludes dust from the bearing. The hub 40 to which the basin 59 is bolted is keyed to a threaded portion of the shaft 26, and has at its lower end a recess fitting over the bearing 39 so as to exclude dust. A tubular member 43 surrounding the shaft 26, but fitting it at its ends, is supported on a ball-bearing 42 on the hub 40, and has a flange 44 at its lower end to receive the hub 45 of a plate 46 having pockets for the crushing-rolls. A sleeve 47 on the flange 44 excludes dust from the bearing 42, and carries radial wings 48 which drive the material outwards. The three crushing-rolls 65 have semi-cylindrical recesses 66 on their outer side, separated by a web 67, and are of greater curvature in cross-section than the roll track 61, so as to occupy an inclined position when running. The inner edge 64 of the track 61 is flared outwards. The material is fed by a shoot on to the plate 46 and is directed by the inclined portions 46' into the ring 61, and the pulverized material is caught by the pockets 66 of the rotating rolls and thrown over the top of the ring 61, whence it slides down the base 10 to the outlet. Oil is supplied to the bearing 31 and sleeve 28 by a lubricator 51 and pipe 52, and passes into the space between the shaft 26 and the member 43. A groove 54 in the shaft conveys the oil to the bearings 39, 27, whence it is discharged by a pipe 55 to a reservoir. In a modification, spherical balls replace the rolls. Specification 24,445/09 is referred to.

Abstract: 6843. Evans, T. F. March 20. Variable-speed and reversing friction gearing of the type described, for example, in Specifications 6380/08 and 7038/12, is so arranged that, for any particular line of contact of the disk and roller, the roller axis always lies in the same straight line whatever the position of the roller along its axis. The Figures show the invention applied to a motor-vehicle, but it is applicable also to machine tools or other uses. The disks a, b are mounted with their axes inclined so that the distance between their faces decreases downwards. The roller shaft m is carried in ball bearings carried in spherical shells x in blocks z, which are supported and raised by cords 5 passing under pulleys 4 attached to cross-bars 3, which support the blocks by means of rods 1, which work through holes in a swivelling beam 2, springs 7 being arranged to press the blocks z downwards. The position of the shaft m is determined by pegs 6 attached to the blocks z and adapted to enter notches u, v, w in cross-bars t carried by the framing, for forward driving, reverse, or neutral positions respectively. The cords 5, passing under suitable guide-pulleys 13, 14, are led to an equalizing-lever 15 connected to the clutch pedal, by depressing which both ends of the roller shaft m are raised clear of the disks; the cords 5 are continued to a lever 26 connected to the steering-gear, so that turning the vehicle to one side raises one end of the roller shaft. The rollers are moved along the shaft m by levers 10 operated by cords 19 connected to a lever controlled by fore-and-aft motion of a handlever 17. Transverse motion of the same handlever is arranged to control the reversing action by means of cords (not shown) connected to the ends of the swivelling beam 2. The friction surfaces of the rollers and disks are grooved as shown, so that the rollers when in engagement are held against motion along the shaft m. Figs. 5, 6, and 7 show alternative forms of grooves. One roller only may be used if desired, or one disk only with one or two rollers.
