Title: An Improved Ore Roasting Furnace.
Inventor: MADDERN WILLIAM ALEXANDER
Filed: 1902-11-04
Granted: 1903-12-03
Abstract: 24,124. Maddern, W. A. Nov. 4. Roasting and calcining furnaces.-Telluride ores, arsenical pyrites, or other ores, fed along continuously from the shoots A, A<1> are roasted or calcined in a doubled flue B, B' leading from a furnace D, and are cooled in an under flue B<2> by the air supply to the furnace. The ore is fed along by rabbles or rakes H<1> on vertical rocking- shafts I, which are operated by a crank R and connecting-rod Q. Toggles J, Figs. 5 and 6, hanging free in the feeding-stroke, lift the rabbles clear of the ore in the return stroke, and then let them drop again to the collars L on the shafts. The rabbles, being made hollow, are kept cool by water entering by pipes M and leaving by pipes N, which are connected to the outside pipes by hose. Cold air is prevented from entering at the pockets where the rabbles work by means of curved plates attached to them. An aperture at the attached end of the bollow rabble admits air, which cools it and issues on the ore through holes at the free end. Radiation from the roof is prevented by sand or other non- conducting material, as shown in Fig. 1.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Dividing and Compressing or Moulding Dough and like Plastic Materials.
Inventor: CALLOW JOHN
Filed: 1903-01-27
Granted: 1903-12-03
Abstract: 1986. Callow, J. Jan. 27. Moulding dough.-Dough or similar plastic material falls from a hopper 16, Fig. 7, into a feed chamber 15 and is cut off by a perforated plate 17, actuated by rods 50, Fig. 4, and pins working in cam-grooves 49, while a pivoted frame 24, with the square or round receivers or moulds 23, come up to the horizontal. A plunger 14, operated by a cam 7 and an elbow lever 10 presses the material into the receivers 23 and pushes back the piston 32 until the rollers 36 come against the bars 39, which are the same in number as the receivers and are adjusted in position by turning the handle 44 of the discs 42, thus regulating the movement of the piston-rod and the amount of material taken in. If the cam 7 is not grooved, the plunger is pulled by means of a weight attached to a band or chains passing over a pulley on the plunger and connected to a stud on the chamber 15. The handle 44 may point to a graduated scale. The dough is partially worked and freed from gases by some of it being pressed through the perforations in the plate 17. The weighted piston 55 can be adjusted to prevent any excess pressure on the dough &c. The arm 28, worked by the grooved cam 8, is connected to the pivots 26 and rotates the frame 24, the dough in the receivers is cut off by the curved plate 47, which also closes the mouths of the receivers while they are turning to the position where the pistons 32 force out the material. The plate 17 is withdrawn to a recess 51, and the frame 24 returns, being assisted, if desired, by weighted arms placed on it. In another form, shown in Fig. 8, the receivers 58 are fitted with plungers 59 and situated in revolving drums 57. The arm 66 works a ratchet and pawl 65 and rotates the drum intermittently, bringing empty receivers before the plunger at the same time that projections 60, working in the cams or eccentric 61, retract the plungers 59. The projections rising again expel the entered material, the amount of which is regulated by the arm 67 adjusting the movable part 61 x of the cam or slide. A scraper 77, Figs. 7 and 8, cleans the faces of the pistons, and the cutting of the materials may be effected by a reciprocating shearing motion if desired.

Granted: 1903-12-17
Abstract: 21,374. Appleby, T. H., and Tylor & Sons, J. Oct. 5. Lift valves; mixing valves and cocks.- Relates to taps or valves, for lavatory and like purposes, in which the spout forms the operating handle or lever. A screwdown valve a, Fig. 1, is secured, by means of a grooved stem t and a screwed pin u, to the lower end of the spout c which is screwed into the casing f to rise or fall and open or close the valve when turned. The liquid passes out through the passages i into the spout or tube. The apparatus shown in Fig. 4 has two valves a, k arranged on one stem m to control two passages h, conveying cold and hot water respectively. The stem may be provided with a stuffing-box between the valves at z. The lower valve is formed in two parts, screwed together as shown, to enclose the head p of the stem, by means of which the valve is connected loosely to the stem, so that the upper valve, may supply cold water, while the lower valve remains closed by the action of a spring or other device. The lower valve is opened by further turning the spout so that a mixture of hot and cold water in any proportion may thus be obtained. In the construction shown in Fig. 5, for high pressure, the valve slides by means of guide-pins w in vertical guides x; the spindle t is screwed and passes into the lower end of the outlet tube c which screws into a nut f <1>, of coarser pitch, secured to the casing.

Patent GB-190321441-A (GB)
Title: Time Stamps
Inventor: FAIRWEATHER WALLACE
Filed: 1903-10-06
Granted: 1903-11-12
Abstract: 21,441. Fairweather, W., [Perry Time Stamp Co.]. Oct. 6. Date and time printing stamps.-Relates to a method of constructing a time stamp, in which the printing-dials, or impression mechanism may either be separate from, or directly connected to, clockwork, and which has gauge parts to insure proper contact of the impression surface with the surface to be printed upon. The printing-dials 27, 28, 29 are mounted on pivots 30 on a movable frame 17<a>, which has cam-pieces 18 attached. Two pins 19 are fixed to the cam-pieces, are slidable in the slots 24, and are pivoted in the sliding frame 20, which carries a handle 21 and is kept in its upper position as shown by the spring 23. In this position the dials 27, 28, 29 are pressed against their respective pads. These pads are formed as shown in Fig. 5, V-grooves 31, 32, 33 being formed in the dials to take corresponding projections from the pads, which are driven by clockwork attached to the main frame, shown in Fig. 1. When in use, the four legs 1<a> ensure the stamp coming down in the right position. When the handle 21 is depressed, the dials are moved downwards through the action of the pins 19, and are turned round to present their printing-faces to the article to be stamped, by the cams 18 engaging with the pins 25 and 26. While printing, the dials do not revolve, but the lost time is made up when they return to their former position against the pads, the V- grooves causing them to register accurately. The number and position of the dials may vary, other information may also be printed as shown in Fig. 3, and the dial for marking a.m. and p.m. may be replaced by a roller revolved by hand. The clockwork may also be attached to the moving frame, and may drive the dials directly, instead of through the pads, as is shown in Fig. 6. In this case, the dials and pad need have no V-grooves and corresponding projections, but are still pivoted to avoid the excessive friction that would otherwise ensue between the surface of the dial and the pad.
