Title: An Improved Process and Apparatus for Separating Vulcanized India-rubber from Fibrous and other Materials combined therewith.
Inventor: GRUMMEL WILHELM
Filed: 1907-11-12
Granted: 1908-08-27
Abstract: 25,091. Grummel, W. Nov. 12. Mills and apparatus.-Relates to a method of and apparatus for separating vulcanized rubber from fibrous and other materials combined therewith. The material is disintegrated in a casing h, Fig. 2, having teeth c and gratings c' arranged alternately, by a revolving wheel provided with removable cutters s at the ends of its curved arms a. The casing is kept cool by water jackets. The shredded material passes to the apparatus shown in Figs. 3 and 4, consisting of a wire frame e oscillated rapidly within a similar frame d. The rubber falling between the longitudinal wires of the frames is conveyed by a screw g to a funnel i which delivers into a conical screening-drum l, Fig. 5, covered with two perforated leather mantles m, n. Heavy metallic particles pass through the perforations r or slits o, while light rubber particles are carried up and fall into a screw conveyer k which discharges into a spout x. The larger rubber particles slide towards the end of the drum and escape through the slits o.

Abstract: 10,846. Jansen, H. May 20, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Screwing. - Screwing dies and taps are composed of detachable individual threading -teeth secured rigidly in slots in the body. In a screwing- die, shown in Figs. 2 and 3, the body 10 has radial slots to receive the teeth 12, which are fixed by pins 14 and are held d laterally by a series of corner-plates on each side. The corner-plates may be equipped with the first and last teeth of the series, being of graduated thickness to secure the pitch-line arrangement, and, except the thinnest of each series, inset into the face of the body, the teeth also being of graduated thickness. The corner-plates on the two sides of the body are inversely arranged. To obtain an initial grip on the pipe, bolt, nut, &c., the first two or three teeth of each series on the entering side of the die are bevelled off. In the form of tool shown in Fig. 5, the teeth are mounted in slots in rectangular plates 24, and in a filling-block 25, the teeth of graduated thickness, such as 26, 27, 28<a>, 29<a>, being provided at the ends of each series, and the teeth being held laterally by plain corner-plates 30 of uniform thickness.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Thermostatic Regulators.
Filed: 1908-06-25
Granted: 1908-09-17
Abstract: 13,526. Cambridge Scientific Instrument Co., [Hohmann & Maurer Manufacturing Co.]. June 25. Thermostats.-In a thermostat of the type in which an expansion rod 7 operates a valve 16 mounted inside an adjustable and removable stem 13, and so regulates the supply of pressure fluid to a heat-controlling device, the stem 13 is made fluid-tight by means of a loose sleeve 25 provided at each end with packing 30, 31 which can be compressed by a gland 32, and a screw cap 33. When the valve is open, fluid passes from an inlet 20 through clearance between the valve spindle and the stem 13, and through a lateral opening in the stem to a space between the stem and the sleeve 25, from which it passes through openings in the sleeve to the outlet 21. The valve is kept open and resting on the expansion rod 7 by a light spring 17, its movement being limited by a pin 18, engaging with a slot in the valve spindle. The stem 13 is screwed into a casing 8, and the adjustment of the valve is shown by a pointer 19 moving over a dial 10. The expansion rod 7 is encased in a tube 6, which is fixed in a casing 3.

Title: Improvements relating to Fluid Pressure Turbines.
Inventor: PARSONS CHARLES ALGERNON
Filed: 1908-12-29
Granted: 1909-12-29
Abstract: 28,376. Parsons, C. A. Dec. 29. Elastic-fluid turbines.-In turbines of the type in which the working fluid is directed several times backwards and forwards through the running blade of the rotor, the pressure energy of the working fluid is transformed into kinetic energy by small amounts at a time in the guide blades only and only a small total drop of pressure takes place in the chamber, the amount of expansion being never greater than four volumes. Several such turbines may be arranged together as pressure stages in a turbine unit. The low-pressure stage may be similar to the straight-through type described in Specification No. 17,872, A.D. 1908. The compound turbine may be grouped with low-pressure annular-admission turbines in marine plant. Figs. 2 and 3 represent diagrammatically part of an arrangement of steam passages in a turbine of six stages. The high-pressure steam enters at f and, after passing through the blades once, the stream is divided, part passing along the way p and the other part along the way o. At q the steam is led into the open wheel space and passes either through the rotor or over the blading to the inlet side again. It is then received and redirected by the open guide passages r, Fig. 3, in the same stage, and, after being passed several times through the same rotor as before, it is guided to the port s and thence to the second stage. In the second, third, fourth, and fifth stages the process is similar; the first set of directing-passages being shown for the second and fourth stages and the second set for the third and fifth stages. In the sixth stage, the steam is passed straight through the rotor to the inlet side again and then straight through the bladings a second time and is exhausted, as described in the before-mentioned Specification. Labyrinth packing as described in Specification No. 28,047, A.D. 1907, or cellular packing may be used to pack the rotating parts.

Abstract: 10,618. Embleton, H. C. May 5. Stamps, ore and like.-In a modification of the pneumatic stamp described in Specification 12,929/94, means are provided for balancing the weight of the pneumatic cylinder, for taking up wear of the shoes and dies, for rotating the stamp and for feeding the ore to the stamp. The pneumatic cylinder 1, Figs. 1 and 2, which is reciprocated from an overhead crank-shaft 5 by a crank-pin 6 working in a slide 8 in the top cover of the cylinder, works in a dash-pot 10 having air-holes 11, and the downwardly-projecting sleeve 17 works like a ram in the part 18 having a stuffing-box 19 at its lower end. Or an adjustable spring 75, Fig. 3, surrounding a rod 77 extending upwards from the top bar 76 of the cross-head slide and bearing upon a cross-piece 71 carried by the horns 72, may be used. A dash-pot may be used below the cylinder and a spring above it, as shown in Fig. 3. The stamp stem 3 is made in two parts bolted together by their flanges 20, 21, between which distance-pieces can be placed to compensate for wear of the shoes and dies. The distancepieces interlock with each other and with the flanges 20, 21, and are made in sections with recesses to clear the bolts 23 ; the pieces are of the same diameter as the shoe 24 and are hollowed out at the centre. For rotatiog the stamp, a spurwheel 28 above or below the top flange 20 gears with a long pinion 29 driven by gearing 33 from a shaft 36 which carries spaed cones 32 and is driven by a belt 30 from the crank-shaft 5. The revolving feed-drum 38 has peripheral recesses 41, or its end flanges may be connected by bolts or rods 40, Fig. 9 ; or the drum may consist of a series of narrow drums arranged side by side with the recesses arranged to break joint. The sliding door 44 at the front of the hopper 39 has at its lower end a hinged relief-piece 46 kept normally shut by a spring or weight 47 ; or a wheel 49, Fig. 2, mounted on an axis 50 free to move in a slot 51, may be used, The ratchet-wheel 52 is actuated by multiple spring-pressed pawls 53, 54, 55, 56 mounted on a banjo-plate 57 vibrated on the drum shaft 43 by a rod 67 connected to a lever 61 on the cross-shaft 60.
