Title: Materials blending machine
IPC: B01F25/74
Filed: 1963-07-29
Abstract: 1,046,225. Mixing powders and liquids. PATTERSON KELLEY CO. Inc. July 29, 1963 [March 11, 1963], No.29929/63. Heading B1C. Apparatus for blending a powder with a liquid comprises an inverted conical container 14 having a coaxial hollow rotatable spindle 22 which carries a dished slinger disc 40 and a jaw 42. Particulate material is supplied to a fixed hopper 32 and passes through a central aperture 36 round the spindle 22 on to the disc 40 whence it is projected evenly around the periphery of the disc into contact with the container wall and descends slowly in a helical path. The fan 42 is arranged to produce an upward air-flow which helps to keep the powder in suspension; it is wetted by liquid supplied through the hollow spindle and projected by the swashplate-like spray device 45 described in Specification 875901. When sufficient product has accumulated in the bottom of the container it is discharged by the opening of the lips of the discharge device 50 which consists of a flattened rubber sleeve having a slit 51. The spindle 22 is carried by a beam 26 and the curtains 42 by a bracket 16 which is vertically adjustable by means of a hand-wheel 18 and screw 20 whereby the clearance between the container and the waiting members may be varied.

Abstract: 1394512 Helicopter rotors UNITED AIRCRAFT CORP 25 June 1973 [14 July 1972] 30056/73 Headings B7G and B7W A helicopter main or anti torque rotor 10 comprises a plurality of blades 12 each carried by a hub member 14 and connected by mechanism 28, 30, 40 for pitch change movements controlled by pitch change mechanism 42 which is carried on rotor shaft 18. The shaft is splined to the hub member 14 which is formed, as shown in Fig. 2, of an outer ring 26 connected by spokes 24 to an inner ring 22. The ring 26 comprises a series of flats 26a-26f which are joined at their apexes by sockets 50a-50f for the blade mountings and the construction is such that the centrifugal loading imposed by the rotor blades is wholly absorbed as hoop stress by ring 26. Should a fracture occur in the hoop the centrifugal loading would be transferred to the spokes and conversely, if a spoke failed with ring 26 intact, the ring would contain the centrifugal loading.

Title: Improvements in filtering apparatus
IPC: B01D33/00
Filed: 1921-11-18
Abstract: 188,539. Timm, R. Nov. 18, 1921. Rotary filters.-Relates to vacuum filters of the rotary drum type having internal cells communicating with a common chamber located at one end of the drum, and provided with scrapers for the removal of residue clinging to the outer drum surface. According to the invention the filter drum a wholly or partially encloses a chamber r which communicates with both an antechamber m, and a receiving chamber p connected to an exhausting air-pump. The filter drum is covered with a permeable material b and is divided radially into chambers d. The filtered liquid flows into the antechamber and is conveyed by a siphon-pipe k to the exhausted chamber p at the opposite end of the drum. A flushing medium may be conveyed to the chambers d of the drum by a pipe l approximately the same cross section as the discharge pipe to avoid pressure differences in the axial direction. A branch-pipe n and connecting member o allow the contents of some of the drum-chambers to pass direct to a collecting vessel t without mixing with the filtrate in the antechamber. In a modification, an additional exhausting pipe conveys the filtrate to the same receiving chamber but withdraws it from the drum in the opposite axial direction to that of the main filtrate siphon pipe. In this form the antechamber is enclosed bv the drum surface and the former communicating chamber is only partially enclosed by the drum, the remainder being formed as a sleeve-like extension.

Title: Improvements relating to metal testing machines
IPC: G01N3/16
Filed: 1939-11-28
Abstract: 537,653. Testing physical qualities of materials. ALEXANDER, J. W. Nov. 28, 1939, No. 30987. [Class 106 (ii)] Relates to machines where a metal sheet is forced through a die by a punch and consists in a torsionally resilient rotary driving means for effecting relative movement between punch and die, a style and operating mechanism therefor carried on and operable by said means, and a stationary chart holder mounted adjacent the style. A hollow body part a has mounted in the open upper end a die b througb which can pass a punch c on the upper end of a plunger d. This end is screw threaded into an axially movable but non-rotatable sleeve e having an annular support f for the metal sheet g to be tested. The sleeve e is in screw threaded engagement with a nut formed as worm wheel h non-movable axially. A worm n operable from a handle outside the part a drives the worm wheel. To determine the relative positions of plunger and sleeve preparatory to a test, the sleeve e is moved axially bv rotating the worm n until a hole s therein aligns with a spring plunger q normally withdrawn. The plunger d is then rotated until a blind hole t therein aligns with the plunger. The upper end of the punch c and the upper surface of the support f now lie flush and adjacent the die. If now a test is to be made, the catch is withdrawn and the worm n again rotated to move the sleeve to clamp the work, this being accompanied by a similar movement of the plunger due to its threaded engagement with the sleeve. The plunger d is feathered to a sleeve 2 supported in ball bearings 3. The sleeve is provided with tangential arms 13 between which and lugs 9 on a worm wheel 4 are spring pressed rods 11 through which the worm wheel drives the sleeve 2. Pivoted at 15 on one of the arms 13 is a lever 16 the short arm 17 of which engages one of the lugs 9 while the long arm carries a stylus 20. This is pivoted on a horizontal pin 22 and rests on a chart carried by a table 21 a cylindrical spigot on which is rotatable in the base of a carrier 23. The carrier may be raised and lowered relatively to the frame 24 by rack and pinion 25, 26. The spigot may be clamped at 30, 33 to the carrier. The 'arm 16 is held by a spring 18 against a strip 19. The stylus is given a radial movement which is a measure of the tangential force applied to the plunger d to turn it and an angular movement which is a measure of the deformation of the plate g.
