Abstract: 14,733. Torrance, T., Torrance, J. R., Torrance, H. N., and Torrance & Sons. June 24. Disk and like mills.- A mill for grinding paints &c. consists of an upper stationary stone 1. Figs. 1 and 2, and a lower stone.2, which is rotated about its own axis and moved bodily across the face of the upper stone so as to carrv the material out of the friction region and bring it within the range of the delivery scraper. The operating- surfaces of the stones or disks are preferably spherical, and the lower disk 2 is fixed to a shaft 3 which is mounted at the upper end in a swivel bearing 4 and at the lower end in a bearing 5 carried by a bevelwheel 6 driven from the driving-shaft 9. Rotation of the member 2 about its own axis is effected by a wheel 10 on the shaft 3 meshing with a stationary internal wheel 11. The scraper 12, which removes the paint &c. from the periphery of the disk 2 and directs it into the shoot 13, is carried by a rod 14 adjustably secured to an arm 15 on an extension 16 of the bush 4<a> so that it always remains in contact with the disk. By means of a screw 17 coacting with an arm 18 of the rod 14, the scraper can be adjusted in relation to the disk. The scraper 19 for removing the paint &c. from the projecting spherical surface of the disk 2 is secured to an arm 19<a> pivoted at 20, and to prevent it from fouling the sides of the disk 2 it is automatically raised after it has operated upon the projecting part of the disk by means of a spring-pressed rod 21 having an arm 23 engaged by a cam 22 on the wheel 6. The feedhopper 25 can be screwed in or out of a flange 26 to adjust the position of the upper disk 1, which is normally forced upwards by springs 32. The upper part of the frame 31 carrying the member 1 and hopper 25 is pivoted at 35 to the base of the machine, so that by removing a pin 35<a> the upper part can be swung back to allow the grinding-members to be cleaned. For cooling the disks, water is circulated through chambers 41, 42 in the castings 39, 40 carrying the disks. The water enters the chamber 41 and passes by a pipe 43 to a cup 48 in the hopper. and then by a pipe 46 to the chamber 42. The pipe 46 has ball-and-socket connexions with the member 42 and cup 48, and serves as a stirrer for the paint &c. in the hopper. To allow for adjustment of the hopper, the cup 48 is mounted upon Hat springs 49. The trough member 36 located below the disk 2 and carrying the bearing 4, is provided with a lubricator receptacle 37, an outer channel 38 to receive material falling from the disks, and an intermediate channel 44 to receive the cooling-water from the chamber 42. Or the grinding - disks may be heated by steam &c. Instead of the disks being superimposed, they may be arranged on their sides and the bearing 5 secured directly to a driving- pulley.

Granted: 1914-05-28
Abstract: 14,862. Atterbury, T. W., and Matthews, P. W. July 5,1912, [Convention date]. A p p a r a t u s.-In an hydraulically - operated charging - device for a r o t a r y compartment grate, the charge is carried between end members 23, 24 into the grate, which is then rotated to bring an empty compartment between these members. The member 24 is then moved through the empty compartment up to the opening 22, in order to seal it as soon as the member 23 is moved away. The front end member 23 is moved by the ram 98 of a cylinder 97 through a trunk 99. This ram forms a second cylinder having a ram 101 which carries a crosshead 102 operating in slots in the trunk 99 and connected by rods 92 to the end plate 24. The movements are controlled by a piston valve 103, 106 being a fluid pressure pipe connected to the valve and also to the rear end of the cylinders 97, 98, through pipes 107, 108. The pipe 108 passes through the piston of the two cylinders and communicates with the rear end of the cylinder 98 by way of an opening 109 in the hollow ram 101. Pressure pipes 110, 111, the latter of which passes through the piston of the cylinder 97, connect the piston valve to the cylinders. In the position of the valve shown in Fig. 11, the pipe 110 communicates with the supply pipe 106, the piston of the cylinder 97 being thus held in its rearmost position so that the member 23 closes the opening 22. The forward end of the cylinder 98 is connected to the exhaust 112, and the pressure on the rear side of its piston causes it to move forward carrying the end member 24 through the grate section. The valve 103 is then moved so that the front end of the cylinder 97 is also connected to the exhaust, the front member 23 thus moving forward. The charge being placed between the end members, the front ends of both cylinders are connected to the pressure pipe 106 by the valve, the members 23, 24 thus moving simultaneously to carry the charge into the grate. One of two guide-rods 92<a> connected to the cross-head 102 carries a roller 118 which acts on a cam plate 120 and automatically trips the valve mechanism when the end plate 24 reaches the front plate 23 in order to cause the latter to move forward.

Abstract: 17,956. Siemens, F. K. Aug. 6. [Addition to 10,824/12.] Open-hearth furnaces; hot-blast stoves. - In furnaces as described in the parent Specification, in which the hearth is heated by a unidirectional flame, and a portion of the gases is diverted for heating the " regenerators " or hot-blast stoves, the division into furnace-heating and " regenerator "-heating gases is effected prior to the admixture and combustion of the gas and air. In the furnace shown, the combustion gas and air are supplied through the ports a, f respectively, and assuming that the conditions are as illustrated in Fig. 2, the hot air from the " regenerator " b passes upwardly through the right-hand duct d and divides into two portions, the main body proceeding to the port f and the remainder passing through an opening e in the wall of the gas port. Combustion is thus initiated in the gas port, and some or all of the products together with unburnt gas pass through the opening g to the " regenerator " c. A third portion of air diverted from the port f passes downwardly through the left-hand passage d and assists combustion in the " regenerator." The gas may be diverted as described above, instead of the air.
