Title: Improvements in Slime Concentrators.
Inventor: DEISTER WILLIAM FREDERICK
IPC: B03B13/00
Filed: 1912-08-14
Granted: 1913-05-22
Abstract: 18,626. Deister, W. F. Aug. 14. Buddling-apparatus.-A slime concentrator comprises a series of inclined pivoted decks, in one position of which slime is fed over the decks, while in the other position water is fed to the decks to wash off the deposited values. In the feed position shown, slime is fed to the decks 1 from a box 65 communicating with separate boxes 12 and aprons 14, the waste passing into a launder w. After the required interval, a counterbalancing water-tank 35 reverses the position of the decks, and water from a tank 48 to wash the values into a launder y is allowed to flow over the decks bv the reversal of a valve 21, the flow of slime being stopped. The tank 48 may have three compartments, the two outer of which are filled from the inner and communicate with the pipes 20. On the completion of the washing, the tank 35 having been emptied by the engagement of a valve stem c with a ledge in the tank 48, the table returns to the feed position. Buffers 72 are provided to avoid jar to the decks, and excessive rebound on return to the feed position is prevented by a weight 75, which is raised from the floor shortly before the completion of the movement. The tank 35 may be held in its raised position by a pivoted dog adapted to be released by the rise of a float within the tank. A number of the tables may be arranged in a plant with a common means for controlling the counterbalancing tanks and the feed of the slime and water.

Abstract: 21,093. Ovendon, J. F. Sept. 16. Percussive drills; percussive hand tools. - A valve applicable for controlling air or steam under pressure to percussive tools such as rock drills, chipping and riveting hammers, &c. comprises a piston a, Fig. 3, controlling lateral ports i in a cylindrical casing f having a screwed seat h therein, upon which the valve seats in the closed position; the ports i in the casing f are arranged at different distances from the seat h so as to give a graduated opening and closing of the valve and are preferably bored obliquely so as to point in the direction of the valve seat h, as shown in Fig. 8. The ends of the piston are formed with tapered, rounded, or hollowed valve surfaces b, as shown, so that the piston is reversible, and terminate in cylindrical extensions e, one of which serves as the abutment for the operating device t or lever, while the other serves as the guide for a spring p. The casing has an aperture at the top closed normally bv a ball or other valve r which serves for the introduction of lubricant; the casing may, however, be closed by a solid screwed plug. The valve member a is bored centrally, as shown in dotted lines, to convey the lubricant to the other parts of the device, or alternatively this bore is plugged at the top and bottom, Fig. 8, and provided with upper and lower lateral passages w.

Title: An Improved Apparatus for Cutting Up Long Wood Shavings or the like.
IPC: B26D1/38
Filed: 1912-09-23
Granted: 1913-02-27
Abstract: 21,606. Marks, E. C. R., [Westmans Verkstads Aktiebolag, A.]. Sept. 23. Cutting up.-Apparatus for cutting-up long wood shavings consists of a revolving cutterhead 2 co-operating with knives 7 and cutteredges 9 on a stationary member 6 provided with small holes 10 for the passage of small shavings and, at the side where the cutters move upwards, with an aperture 11, preferably extending along its whole length. Long shavings, instead of falling through the aperture 11, are carried along by the cutter-head, thus being forced to remain in the apparatus during one or more revolutions of the cutter-head until they are sufficiently cut up. A suction apparatus may be used for conveying the cut-up shavings from the lower end of the casing 4.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Fluid Meters.
IPC: G01F1/46
Filed: 1912-09-26
Granted: 1913-07-31
Abstract: 21,953. British Thomson-Houston Co., [General Electric Co.]. Sept. 26. Steam meters.-An improved Pitot plug consists of two parallel tubes 5, 6, Figs. 1 and 3, which are connected together by a web 7. The two tubes communicate by means of a capillary slit 8, which is also open along its length to the external fluid pressure. The tubes 5, 6 are the trailing and leading tubes respectively. The fitting 3 contains four sockets so that the plug may be used for horizontal or vertical pipes, but only two are in use at one time. The improved plug is particularly applicable for metering steam, as water of condensation is transferred from one tube to the other on a change in pressure, thus avoiding errors due to changes in the hydraulic head when the flow is measured by the pressure difference set up in the two legs of a mercury receptacle.

Granted: 1914-09-10
Abstract: 20,887. Pointon, J. E. Sept. 16. Bakers' ovens.-Consists in an arrangement of multiple ovens or a battery of baking chambers having endless movable baking plates, and in the provision of conveyers for charging and discharging the same. A number of ovens a, as separately shown in Fig. 2, are grouped side by side and a feed conveyer band b passes along the front while a discharging band d passes along the rear. The shelf of the oven is formed by an endless chain or the like e. For charging, the conveyer e is started preferably with an intermittent movement and at the same time a reciprocating push-bar g is set in motion. Dough portions carried from the prover by the conveyer b are thus fed into the oven. The motion of the bar g and the band e is stopped when the oven is full, and the oven is closed and the bread allowed to bake. After baking is complete, the band e is again set in motion and the baked bread is transferred to the conveyer d which feeds on to a band which transfers the loaves to storing racks m. The dough portions from the dividing machine and preliminary prover are brought to the main prover by the conveyer p and are transferred to tins on the prover chains at the point 4. They are discharged from the prover on to the conveyer b at the point 5 by a push-rod g. At the point where the conveyer d discharges, the empty tins are placed on to the prover chains and the tins are greased at the point 3. The baked bread may be taken from the tins before the carriage reaches the point 2, and a pusher used at this point to place the empty tins on the prover chain.

Abstract: 5513. Hall & Co., J. P., and Nield, A. March 4. Electro-magnets.-An electro-magnet for a brake or clutch, of the type in which the armature and magnet pole-faces are tapered, is so designed that the pull is at right-angles to the direction in which the flux is generated. The laminated magnet a is excited by coils c wound on projections b, and the armature d, also laminated, is fixed on the hub of a disk i free to slide longitudinally on a sleeve k. When the magnet is excited, the armature is, by virtue of the faces b, d being tapered, drawn toward the magnet, but when de-energized, springs s press the disk i toward a disk p fixed by bolts q. These disks are provided with friction material t to grip a brake disk n, revolving with but capable of sliding along a boss m on the shaft l. If the magnet a is excited from three-phase mains, in order that no turning-force shall be exerted on the armature, the coils c are so connected that the phases on any three adjacent poles do not occur on the same cyclic order as those on the other three poles. The disk i, instead of being attached to the armature, may be carried by the electro-magnet, which is then made the movable member ; also the armature may be made with, or the electro-magnet without, projecting poles.

Abstract: 7315. Thune, S. Sept. 19, 1913, [Convention date]. Revolving-cylinder pumps.-The cylinders of a revolving.cylinder pump are arranged in pairs on opposite sides of a revolving sleeve c, the pistons a being attached to a rod d which is parallel to the axis of rotation of the pump and so guided that it performs a reciprocating movement relatively to the cylinders. In the arrangement shown, the cylinders and pistons are driven by a slotted head f on .the rod d engaging a squared head e on a shaft h, which is mounted eccentrically in the pnmp casing b. In a modification, the sleeve c is rotated directly, and the reciprocation of the pistons is produced by an eccentric pin mounted on the casing and engaging the slotted head f. The pin may be mounted on a disk capable of rotation between two stops at 90 degrees apart, so that its position changes on reversal of the direction of rotation of the sleeve c, the liquid being thus pumped in the same direction whichever way the sleeve c rotates.
