Title: Improvements in and relating to Filtering Apparatus for Separating Liquids from Materials and for Washing and Saturating Materials with Liquid.
Inventor: BREAKELL THOMAS
IPC: B01D37/00
Filed: 1909-12-31
Granted: 1910-12-31
Abstract: 30,586. Breakell, T. Dec. 31. Rotary filters; filters with horizontal filtering partitions or layers.-Rotary filter cylinders for the treatment of ore slimes, clays, sand, chemical precipitates, sewage matters &c. are provided with one or more troughs formed by radial plates a, Fig. 4, which lift the filtered liquid so that less powerful suction is required for its discharge through pipes b. To prevent leakage of air through that part of the cylinder from which the solid material has been removed by a knife c, Fig. 5, a non-flexible shield d is pivoted just below the knife-edge, and dips into the material in the tank f, so that liquid is drawn up into the space between the shield and the cylinder. In a modified form, the knife itself constitutes the shield. No fastenings are used to secure the filter cloth on the cylinder, but it is fed on to the cylinder as it rotates and when under suction, a sufficient length of cloth being used for the ends to overlap. With the apparatus shown in Fig. 2 the washing is effected in two or more stages. The material is supplied from a trough p such as described in Specification 28,945/09. The liquid first filtered is directed by ribs r into a trough o. Wash-water supplied from a pipe s filters through into a trough n, and the cylinder dips into a tank from which more water enters the cylinder. Separate suction pipes v, w, x are provided for the different liquids. The knife which removes the solid matter may be reciprocated longitudinally to secure a smooth filtering-surface, this motion being sometimes given to the knife by means of a lever oscillated by a cam on the shaft of the cylinder. According to the Provisional Specification, in filtering-apparatus comprising an horizontal annular trough secured to a closed circular receptacle and rotating relatively to devices for feeding material and discharging separated solid ma tter, the closed receptacle contains a fixed receptacle divided radially into compartments in which wash-waters of different strength are separately collected.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Driving-mechanism for Cycles and the like.
Inventor: MILWARD GEORGE HENRY
IPC: B62M1/24
Filed: 1910-10-18
Granted: 1911-08-31
Abstract: 24,083. Milward, G. H. Oct. 18. Treadle mechanism.- In driving - mechanism for cycles &c., of the kind in which oscillating treadles impart rotation to the wheel through the medium of spring-controlled reciprocating bands and chains co-operating with one-way clutches on the hub, the throw or stroke of the treadles is regulated by raising or lowering the chain-wheel over which the chain connecting the treadles passes, the lower position of each treadle being at all times determined by a stop. Chains K, attached at one end to spring-controlled pulleys M, pass round freewheels L upon the hub and are secured at their other end to carrier pulleys J beneath the saddle. A band F<4>, attached to a pulley on the inside of each pulley J, passes over a pulley H to the treadle E<a>, adjustment of the band and chain being effected by relative rotation of the two pulleys, which is permitted by the slot and locking-bolt connexion at 22. The treadles move up and down in guides 11<a> attached by clips 2<a>, 2<b> to the frame of the machine, the lowest position of the treadles being limited by stops G with springs g<2>. These stops may be adjustable. The treadles are connected by a chain F<3> passing over a chain-wheel F upon an adjustable block 12, which also carries the pulleys H. For varying the position of this block while travelling, the chain-wheel has on each side clutch teeth to engage coresponding clutch members F<1>, F<2>, Fig. 6, keyed to the sleeve 13 of the bevel-wheel 17, which gears with a wheel 18 upon a nut-like part 15 on a fixed screw 16. The clutch members are brought into engagement with the sprocket-wheel by the operation of U-section bars 6, 6<a>, these bars being connected to a control-rod 1 by slots 7<a>, 4 which are arranged at right-angles to each other and engage respectively an arm 7 and a pin upon the control-rod. The lower ends of the bars are connected by a similar slot arrangement 9 to a pivoted bracket 10. The block 12 is grooved to slide on guides 14<a>. According to the Provisional Specification, (1) the coupling-bars 6, 6<a> are raised and lowered by a lever or eccentric on a light shaft or spindle placed on the underside of the top rail of the frame; (2) the pulleys at J may be of different diameters to give more purchase or speed as desired; or a single pulley wide enough to take two chains or bands may be used on each side.

Granted: 1911-09-28
Abstract: 7205. Ges. f³r LindÚs Eismasohinen. May 6, 1910, [Convention date]. Separating gaseous mixtures by liquefaction.-In the separation of hydrogen from gaseous mixtures containing the same (such as illuminating gas or water gas) by liquefaction of the remaining constituents of the gaseous mixtures, the liquefaction is effected prior to the expansion of the compressed-gas mixture. Thus, as shown in Fig. 1, the compressed - gas mixture enters an interchanger c by the pipe a. The liquefied portion collects in a vessel b and flows through an expansion device d into the interchanger, whence products of evaporation, for instance carbon monoxide, escape by the tube e. The unliquefied portion, mostly hydrogen, flows through an expansion device f into the interchanger, and leaves by the pipe g at normal temperature. Constituents, such as carbon dioxide and sulphur compounds, which might by freezing cause stoppages in the interchanger, are preliminarily removed. If pure hydrogen is required, the unliquefied portion from the vessel b may be passed through a second interchanger traversed by the expanded gas, which then passes through the interchanger c as before. If expansion is effected without the performance of external work, it is sometimes necessary to pass the gaseous mixture through an auxiliary interchanger traversed by liquid air or nitrogen.

The fender is carried by plungers 17 acted on by springs 30, and is raised by racks 18 and pinions 19 when the shaft 20 is rotated through a drum 45, rope 44, and hand-lever 43. On the lowering of the fender, the slack in the rope 44 is taken up by a spring 48. The fender is locked in position by a pawl 22 and ratchet 21 on the shaft 20 at each side of the vehicle. The pawls are released either when a pilot bar 32 is pressed back, or through ropes 39, 40 and rods 41 when a pedal 37 is depressed. A rope 49 is connected to the lower bar 25 of the fender frame and passes over pulleys to the pedals 8, 10 controlling the brakes and driving - clutch respectively. A spring 54 is connected to the rope 49 to take up slack when the pedals 8, 10 are operated normally. The rope 49 also carries a contactmaker 58, which, when the fender is lowered, is drawn between insulated parts 57, and so causes the ignition to be cut off.
