Granted: 1907-07-04
Abstract: 11,127. AbbÚ, M. F. May 13. Ball mills.-Relates to means for screening the ground material from ball or other mills and returning the tailings to the mill. The ground material passes through openings 26, Fig. 1, in the head 23 of the rotary grinding-chamber 10 into a screening-chamber 24 containing a spiral screen 25 and a concentric spiral conveyer 27. A central partition 28 between the innermost convolutes of the screen and conveyer forms two pockets 29, 30, which receive the tailings from the screen and the ground material from the conveyer, respectively, the tailings being returned to the mill by a screw conveyer 35 while the fine material is discharged by the flaring hopper 36. A series of inclined baffle-plates 37 extending obliquely over the outer convolute of the screen distributes the material over the entire width of the screen ; the plates are of gradually decreasing length and are preferably attached to the head 23. The screen may be narrower than the conveyer and supported along its outer edge by a spiral partition 39. The shell 10 may be fitted with. a stepped lining 16, Fig. 2, composed of angular plates held in position by longitudinal keys or bars 17 seated in grooves formed between adjoining plates and secured by bolts 18. A wooden backing 19 with a stepped face may be interposed between the shell and lining. The material is fed into the mill by a pipe 20 entering the hollow trunnion 11. The steps of the liners are preferably cut away at the discharge end of the mill so as to form an annular recess 38.

Lubricant is applied through apertures 8, 8<a>. In a modified form, the spring is carried on a flanged stem 3 with an abutment 12<a> engaging the piston ; a bent lever 15, having an arm engaging between the piston and stem flanges, is employed for indicating the motion, especially when the device is employed with gas engines the explosions of which are of longer duration than those of petrol engines. A sheath 14 attached to the pressure regulating- nut gives the indication against a scale inscribed on the casing 5<a>, as shown in Fig. 5.

Granted: 1908-05-14
Abstract: 13,388. Bayes, R. J. Hart-, and Hill, A. B. L. June 10. Acetylene.-For feeding solid reagents to gas generators, a magazine containing the solid is caused to deliver its contents gradually to the hopper of a generator of the type described in Specification No. 13,145, A.D. 1899. As the gasholder bell b falls, it depresses a weight p that is almost suffi ientto actuate the feed, and pulls on a cord o. In the form shown in Fig. 4,.the cord o is secured to the end plate u of a bottomless magazine, and the solid reagent therein is moved towards a series of depending weighted fingers 3 pivoted on a fixed rod 4. These fingers keep all but the foremost lumps from falling into the generator c. Perforations 6 in the bottom of the magazine casing, and a space 8 round the inlet q to the generator, receive dust. In the form shown in Fig. 9, the magazine comprises compartments 9, arranged in rows and provided with hinged bottoms which fall when advanced beyond the stepped edge 5 of the bottom of the casing, which is adjustable lengthways. In a modification, only one row of compartments is provided. In another modification either one or several rows of compartments are fixed over the mouth of the generator, and have hinged bottoms, which are opened in succession by the movement of a slotted bar 14, Fig. 13, actuated by the cord o and engaging studs 13x on the hinged bottoms. In this modification, the bar may carry the studs and the hinged bottoms be provided with slots.

Title: Improvements in Acetylene Gas Generator Apparatus.
Inventor: HARRIS WILLIAM
Filed: 1907-09-26
Granted: 1908-08-13
Abstract: 21,314. Harris, W., and Fox, G. E. Sept. 26. Acetylene.-In an acetylene generator of the kind in which carbide is automatically fed from a stationary ring of buckets to the generator, the buckets 1 are hooked on to a flat ring 2 bolted to the tank 3. A ring 7 travels on rollers 6 fitted on the generator and is provided with pins 8, one for each bucket. Superposed on the ring 7 is an annular tray 9, which is closed at the bottom except for one aperture having a throat 11 leading to an annular space 4 between the generator and the tank 3. A striker 12 mounted on the throat 11 is adapted to open the lids of the buckets in succession as the ring 7 travels round ; the carbide then falls through the throat 11 and annular space 4 to a funnel 13, and thence to the perforated plate 14 in the generator. A duct 15 is provided to allow gas rising behind the funnel to reach the gas bell 22. To traverse the ring 7, and so feed carbide when gas is required, a suspended weight 16 tends to rotate a wheel 31 having inclined ways cut in its face, which force one pin 8 from one side of the wheel to the otter for each quarter turn of the wheel. A quarter turn is permitted for each all of the gas-holder by an escapement 28 actuated by a quadrant 25, which is normally vertical but is inclined by a pin 30<a> on the gas bell when this descends. In a modification, the gasholder and generator are separate, the bucket ring, tray, escapement, and wheel being mounted on the generator, and the quadrant on the bell. The drum 31 may be driven by a spring.

Abstract: 24,393. Fuller, J. W. Nov. 4. Ball-and-ring mills.-In modification of the mill described in Specification No. 14,625, A.D. 1906, the grinding-ring 12, Figs. 1 and 2, is formed with an inwardly projecting part 14 to support the grinding-balls 16, and any uncrushable material collects in the space 20 between the ring 12 and the conical portion 10 of the bottom 9. The ring 12 is held in position by annular ribs 55, 58 engaging grooves 56, 60 in the bottom 9 and frame 21, respectively, lugs 61 on the ring engaging lugs 62 on the casing 6 and preventing the ring from turning. The balls are propelled by pushers 40 carried by the arms 39 of a yoke or frame 37 mounted on the driving-shaft 31. The pushers are each formed with an outwardly-flaring bearing- face 41 and a slightly curved face 42 which, in conjunction with the adjoining ball 16, forms an opening 43 for the inlet and outlet of the material. The material fed in at the opening 51 in the coverplate 29 is directed on to the grinding-ring by the central conical-shaped portion 38 of the yoke 37, which carries radial arms 44 to limit the upward movement of the balls. The ground material is raised from the grinding-ring by a series of oblique wings 48 carried by a ring 45 supported by vertical pieces 47 on the arms 44. An upper series of oblique wings 50, carried by a ring 49 secured to vertical pieces 46 of the ring 45, directs the raised material against the inner of two concentric screens 22, 23 supported by the frame 21. The fine particles pass through the outer screen 22 into the chamber 25 and down the passage 53 into the discharge chamber, whence they are swept by the sweeper 34 into the discharge spout 36.

Filed: 1908-04-13
Granted: 1908-09-17
Abstract: 8133. Siemens Bros, Dynamo Works, and Kieffer, E. O. April 13. Commutators are secured to the shaf or core by a wedge inserted between the latter and the segments on which a steel ring or the like is shrunk, the wedge having axial or radial slots so than any tendency to loosen and create a gap is counteracted by the elasticity of the wedge. The wedge ring C, Fig. 1, has cut in it circumferential slots A extending either wholly or partly round the ring so as to force the segments B, from which it is insulated, outwards against a steel ring (not shown). There may be a number of slots arranged in a sloping direction, as shown, or parallel to the axis ; also the inner and outer surfaces of the ring may be parallel. In Fig. 4, the ring is shown formed of spring steel of variable thickness wound on the flat and turned to the desired angle. In another modification, spring steel is wound in the form of a helix and turned, the slots in this case being radial.
