Patent GB-190924859-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Grain Conveying Machinery.
Inventor: JONES FREDERICK GEORGE
IPC: B65G47/95
Filed: 1909-10-29
Granted: 1910-08-25
Abstract: 24,859. Jones, F. G. Oct. 29. Throw-off devices for endless-belt conveyers.-A throw-off device for an endless-belt conveyer, is rotated to reverse the action when the direction of motion of the conveying-bell is reversed, and at one position allows free passage of the material. The device comprises a pair of unequal kinking rollers i, i<1> mounted on a shaft c, which can be rotated through a complete revolution by worm gearing to reverse the kinks in the band a. During this movement, adjustable stops o on the rollersupporting arms engage links k<1>, and thus reverse the position of the hopper m. Adjustable stops p limit the movement of the links k<1>. The hopper, which is provided with inlets r, r<1> and side shoots leading to exits q, is loosely mounted on its supporting-shaft, but is locked in each operating- position by a catch n. A baffle-plate m<2> directs the material to the exits.

Title: An Improved Process of Homogeneously Uniting Metal Bodies by Heat.
Inventor: HARRISON GEORGE
IPC: E01B11/50
Filed: 1909-12-07
Granted: 1910-05-12
Abstract: 28,617. Harrison, G., [Electric Railway Improvement Co.]. Dec. 7. Welding; soldering; riveting; riveted joints. -In a method of uniting metals of unequal heat - conductivities, of the kind described in Specification 25.206/07, in which heat is applied from an external source to the body of greater conductivity, such as a copper rail-bond, the latter body such as the bond terminal is inserted into an aperture in the other body. The railbonds may be applied either to the web, ball, or flange of the rail. As shown in Fig. 1, the two arms c, c<1>, which are connected to a dynamo, clamp the bond terminal a between them, the arm c carrying an electrode c<3> of carbon or other high-resistance material. The bond may be formed of laminations a<1>, or may be a cable or solid rod, and in cases where the terminal is mounted in a closed socket, the end of the arm e<1> may press on the rail. The pressure of the arms c, c<1> causes the terminal, when plastic, to be pressed against the walls of the apertures to which it is welded. In the case of a socketed terminal, Fig. 5, the electrode c<3> presses against a projection c<4> or against a button c<5> carried by the projection, which enters the terminal and the terminal is pressed against and welded to the walls of the aperture. Granulated carbon may replace the projection. When using tubular terminals, the end of the projection may be bevelled to engage a similarly bevelled projection abutting against the arm c<1> to press the terminal out laterally. In a further form, Fig. 10, for welding bonds for the conduits for underground trolly systems, the electrode c<1> rests on a tapered plug c<8>. The terminal may be fused, if desired. The stud terminal may be surrounded by a mould formed of a refractory conductor, such as graphite or fire-clay, and the terminal brought to a molten condition. In one form, Fig. 12, the mould D is connected to the arm c, and a carbon pin c<10> passes through or into the terminal, an insulating washer c<2> preventing contact between the rail and the electrode e<1>. Braze, flux, or other cementing- material may be used, if necessary.

Abstract: 2648. Poole, J. H., and Abbenzeller, A. D. Feb. 2. Mowing-machines.-The knife sections of a mowing-machine are secured by transversely- , movable locking-tongues which engage slots in their shanks after these have been passed through slots in the knife-bar. The slots 13 extend from the front to the rear of the rectangular part of the knife-bar 12, their upper surfaces being flush with a flange 12<1>. The knife sections 14 are shouldered at 25, and their shanks 16 fit the slots 13 closely. A locking-bar 18 is provided with tongues 17 which enter slots 20 in the shanks 16. It is pivoted at 19, and is locked in place by a projecting pin fitting into a socket in the bar 12. The tops of the tongues 17 and the rear edges of the shanks 16 are bevelled to allow of the sections being driven in while the locking-bar is in position. Depressions 171 may be formed between the tongues 17 to allow of a pointed instrument being inserted to facilitate the removal of a section.

Abstract: 5567. Packman, P. J. March 5. Tone-arm joints. - An adaptor for soundboxes, for playing hill-and-dale and zigzag records with one sound - box on the same machine, is made in two swivelling parts to maintain constant the distance from the U-tube and tone-arm joint to the point of the stylus. Fig. 2 shows an elevation with the soundbox in position for playing hill - and - dale records, and Fig. 3 a plan.

Abstract: 20,794. Bayer, C. Sept. 22, 1909, [Convention date]. Separators for gaseous substances.-A method of purifying and cooling gas consists in treating the gas first in a disintegrator a with water, and subsequently in a fan b, the hot dust-laden gases being led from the periphery of the disintegrator towards the centre in a radial direction and in a counter current to the washing- water, between two sets of disintegrating pins or rods d, f mounted on disks e, g, which are rotated in opposite directions, the gases being then sucked off by the fan b and freed from any water mist by centrifugal action. Water is supplied in jets through pipes h. The gas to be treated enters at the top i, passes towards the centre, and, after being purified and cooled, is drawn through the pipe c by the fan b.

Abstract: 27,159. Brownlee, R. B. Nov. 22. Electric letter - spacing and carriage-returning mechanism.-In arrangements wherein the carriage is driven and returned by solenoids the circuits are controlled automatically by the carriage. The solenoid 24 for driving the carriage in letterspacing direction under escapement control is provided with a core 23 which gears with a pinion 22 on a drum 20 carrying a tape 21, which is secured to the carriage 19. The solenoid 14 for returning the carriage is provided with a cone 16 having an integral arm 17 which is secured to the carriage. The leads 14<1> of the solenoid 14 are connected to contacts 31, 35 on a plate 29, the contact 35 being integral with the pivot of a contact-arm 32. The leads 24' of the solenoid 24 are connected to a similar contact-plate 28 having a contact-arm 32', which is connected to the contact-arm 32 by a rod 33. The contact-arms are provided with pins 36, 36<1> adapted to be engaged by spring fingers 27, 26 secured to a rod 25 on the carriage, the arrangement being such that, when the carriage reaches the end of its travel in either direction, the finger 26 or 27 engages one of the contact-arms and automatically changes over the circuits of the solenoids.
