Granted: 1908-09-17
Abstract: 1250. Jensen, P., [Jeffrey, J. A.]. Jan. 18. Drilling.-A rotary rock drill is driven by a totally enclosed electric motor. The motor has a hollow armature shaft 6, which is connected by gearing with a hollow sleeve 17 in alinement with the shaft 6, the sleeve being supported in an elongated bearing 18 on the end plate 14<a> of the gearing case 14. To the end of the bearing 18 is bolted a shell 26, carrying thrust collars 27 and a ball cage 28, these being enclosed by a rotatable casing 29 with an end plate 30 attached. The feed-nut 32 is split longitudinally, and the two halves are fixed rigidly one in each section 34, 35 of the feednut casing. These sections 34, 35 are hinged on a pin 31 attached to the plate 30, and are clamped together by a bolt 39, being held in the correct position by means of two fingers embracing a boss 30<b> on the end plate 30. To regulate the rotation of the feed-nut, a friction band 40 surrounds the casing 29, with a screw to regulate the pressure between them, and a lug on the friction band engages a lug on the shell 26 to prevent rotation of the band. In operation, the drill stem 20 passes' through the hollow shaft 6, and is supported out of contact with the shaft by the sleeve 17 and a loose collar 45. A screw-thread on the drill stem engages the feed-nut. Splines 17<a> inside the sleeve 17 engage grooves in the drill stem, which is thus rotated and automatically fed forward. The motor and starting-box are each completely enclosed to prevent sparks from reaching the outer air. The motor has two end plates 9, 10, the former preferably having the gear casing 14 cast in one with it, while the latter has an offset portion 10<a> to enclose the commutator 21 and the brushes 22, which are mounted on insulating-blocks on its inner wall. The connecting- wires from the motor are led inside the starting- box casing 48 for connexion. The supply wires are mounted on insulating-handles 67. The wire enters a metallic lining 65 and is clamped by a screw. The handles 67 fit inside the insulating bushing 64 of the hollow bosses 48<b> of the starting-box casing, and the metallic lining 65 engages the split end of the terminal plugs 60, 61. The motor has trunnions to fix in the support A and allow for adjustment about an horizontal axis. The support A, held between the roof and the floor of the mine, allows adjustment about a vertical axis, a handle being provided at the end of the drill stem for easier adjustment.

Abstract: 2203. Rapid Magnetting Machine Co., Thompson, H. H., and Davies, A. E. Jan. 31. Magnetic separators.-A magnetic separator for treating potters' slip or other liquid matter in pottery and other manufactures consists of a trough, the bottom of which is composed of alternate transverse strips of magnetic and non-magnetic material extending right across the trough. The magnetic bars a<3>, Fig. 3, project above the non-magnetic bars a' so as to form a series of pockets in which the magnetic particles collect. The magnetic bars are either in contact with electro-magnets arranged below them, as described in Specification No. 28,015, A.D. 1907, or have studs projecting from their undersides which form the cores of electro-magnets. Projecting pieces with serrated edges may be employed on the magnetic bars to break up the liquid stream more thoroughly and so render the separation more efficient. The separating-trough may be embodied in a trough system along which the liquid flows. To permit of the removal of the separated particles, two troughs A, A<1>, Fig. 2, may be arranged side by side, a hinged flap b<2> in the feedtrough B causing the liquid to flow through one trough while the other is being cleaned. The sides b<3> of the troughs may be hinged to facilitate cleaning. Instead of the two troughs, a single separating-trough may be used, the liquid supply being cut off when the trough is to be cleaned ; or a removable tray, with a bottom formed of alternate magnetic and non-magnetic strips, corresponding in size with the bottom of the separating-trough, may be placed in this trough, so that the bars of the tray are magnetized from those of the trough The tray is lifted out of the trough for cleaning purposes.

Abstract: 20,182. Barclay, A. N., and Barclay, J. G. March 3, 1910. Overwinding, preventing - regulating and control-transmitting gear.-The throttle, brake, and reversing-levers of a winding-engine are automatically operated in sequence to arrest the engine in the event of an overwind or of excessive speed. The throttle lever B, brake lever C, and reversing-lever A are connected by links and levers to sliding bars a<7>, and are automatically brought to the position to arrest the winding-engine by weights n, n<1>, n<2> adapted when released to fall on the horizontal arms of bell-crank levers e, e<1> engaging recesses in the bars a'. The reversing-lever A has a pin-andslot connexion with its link, the lost motion serving to raise the retaining-catch a<2> prior to the movement of the lever. A sliding bar J actuated by screw-and-nut or other mechanism from the engine shaft oscillates a lever K coupled to a short lever f<3> mounted on a shaft F<4>. A cam f<2>, Fig. 5, on this shaft normally supports two pawls F<2>, F<3> mounted in a bracket F<1>, but, in the event of an overwind, the cam f<2> allows the bracket F' to fall, thereby causing a .hammer m to release the weights n, n<1>, n2 The pawls F<2>, F<3> are also acted upon by a governor through a linkage p<2>, p<3> in such a way that, as the governor sleeve rises, the lower ends of the pawls are spread by a wedge, so that, if the speed is high, a smaller oscillation of the cam f<2> is required to actuate the stop gear. In the event of the cage being started in the wrong direction from the bank, a vertical pin r on the bar J engages levers R, which, through a lever linkage, actuate the wedge referred to above and release the bracket F'.
