Title: Apparatus for the Production of Combined Rotary Motions applicable to Grinding and to Mixing Machinery and for other purposes.
Inventor: BARY WILLIAM BENJAMIN
IPC: B01F13/00
Filed: 1909-09-02
Granted: 1910-06-30
Abstract: 20,130. Bary, W. B. Sept. 2. Stirrers with compound motions.-Apparatus for the production of rotary motion about a revolving axis comprises two members mounted one on the other on antifriction bearings, one member imparting motion to the other member by centrifugal and frictional action. The first member a, Fig. 1, revolves centrally about a boss b resting on a triangular bearing comprising balls f spaced apart by a triangular plate e carried by a central support d. The second member takes the form of a disk k entirely supported by a boss j resting on a similar bearing m on the bottom of a cylindrical recess h in the member a. On the rotation of the disk a, the disk k flies outwards until the boss j is pressed by centrifugal force against the edge of the recess h. The disk k is then rotated by a frictional gearing effect. The edge of the recess h may be made elliptical or the bottom of the recess may be curved upwards to impart more or less reciprocating and rocking movements to the disk k. An application of the invention to apparatus for mixing liquids &c. is shown in Fig. 7. The ' first ' member 3 supported on a triangular bearing 4 carries a series of vessels 5 containing stirrers 6. The spindles 8 of the stirrers 6 pass through openings 9 in the covers 10 of the vessels 5 and are secured to disks 11 supported upon triangular bearings 7 resting on the covers 10. The spindles 8 are stated to gear with the edges of the openings 9 as the boss j, Fig. 1, gears with the edge of the recess h.

Abstract: 14,416. Raetzer, H. J., and Waller, W. June 14. Soldering.-In soldering the tops or lids to the bodies of tins, cans, &c. by dipping in a bath of solder and moving the cans in relation to the bath during soldering, upper and lower chucks fitted to a fixed or revolving table are used to hold the can. A rotating or vertically reciprocating movement, or both together, is given to the tin or solder bath or to the tin and solder bath, while the outwardly turned - over edge of the tin and its lid are immersed in the solder to ensure the penetration of the solder between the body and lid. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the tin is held between work-holders b, c which are moved down, so that the edge of the tin projecting over the shield may enter the portion k of a detachable solder bath m, by a cam d, lever f, and rod g, and returned by springs l. The cam d may be shaped so that the vertical motion is vibratory. The spindle u of the holder c is feathered to a worm v, which is rotated by bevel - gear and rotates the cam shaft through a worm-wheel w. The solder bath m, which is heated by gas-burners n, or by electricity &c., is connected by holes with the annular channel k formed of a metal collar surrounding the shield of the holder c and having a flange resting on the inner wall of the receptacle. The tin may first be fluxed in a bath q, while being held between holders p. In a modification, Fig. 4, in which the tins and table are both rotated, the table a is rotated by bevelgear x, y, and the tins by spur gear 5, 4, 1 on the table engaging a fixed rack on the standard z. The wheel 5 also engages a rack 6 on a table a<1> for conveying the tins to the operator. The tins are moved off the chucks on to the table a<1> by spring arms c<1> pivoted to the table a and operated by a cam projection on the portion z' of the standard. The vertical motion of the chucks b is given by a fixed cam z<2>, operating the weighted levers g<1> which carry the chucks,' the levers being mounted on a plate h<1> connected to the table a by rods d<1> and having a boss h<2> fitting over the standard. The tins may be of square or any other shape, the bath being shaped to correspond. Instead of rotating the tin, it may be given a reciprocating motion by suitably shaping the cam d shown in Fig. 1. According to the Provisional Specification, the cans may be oscillated or rocked.
