Title: Improvements in and relating to Drying Apparatus.
Inventor: HOBBS JAMES EDGAR
IPC: F26B11/04
Filed: 1911-12-29
Granted: 1912-12-30
Abstract: 29,313. Hobbs, J. E. Dec. 29. Drying - furnaces ; rotary furnaces; charging. - In a rotary or fixed drying - drum in which the stones or other materials to be dried are thrown into the path of a current of drying-medium traversing the drum, means are provided for preventing the medium from being drawn therethrough during the charging and discharging operations and for preventing any considerable ingress of atmospheric air at any time. The apparatus shown comprises a pair of drums 3 rotated through gear-wheels 4<1>, supported by rollers, and provided internally with deflecting blades &c. for the material. A shoot 7 communicates with the drum 2, the mouth of a furnace 8, and a feed hooper 9. A door 10 in the hopper is mounted on a spindle attached to a lever which is controlled by a rod 12 and handle 13, and also connected to a damper 15 in a by-pass flue 14. When the hopper door is opened, furnace gases are thus simultaneously shut off from the drum 2 and allowed to escape by the flue 14. Between the drums 2, 3 a shoot 18 is arranged to shut or open communication between the drums as desired, which may be effected by the mechanism described in Specification 29,312/11, [Class 34 (ii), Drying systems &c.]. A like shoot conveys the dried material to the stationary discharge chamber 20, whence by a door it is delivered to a truck &c. A fan or other suction device normally communicating with the chamber 20 by a passage 23 may be shut off by a damper 25 actuated by the rod 12. Flexible wrappers 27 may prevent inlet of air between furnace and drum, drum and drum, or drum and discharge chamber. The rotary drums may be replaced by fixed drums with moving blades.

Granted: 1913-11-24
Abstract: 19,257. Aron, L. J., Wiener, C., and X. L. Electric Co. Aug. 22. Electric clocks.-A clock is driven by a continuously-running electromotor acting through a spring arranged in a barrel, one end of the spring having a tripping or slipping engagement with the barrel so that overwinding may be prevented. In the arrangements shown in Figs. 1 and 3, one end of the spring D is attached to the scape-wheel arbor E, while the hooked outer end D' engages with the grooved internal surface of the barrel H<1>, which, together with a ratchet-wheel C and a wheel K, is mounted on a sleeve K<1>. The wheel K is geared to the motor, which may be of the type operated by a make-and-break switch, in which case the switch may be actuated by a pawl engaging with the ratchet-wheel C, as described in Specification 9154/12. The barrel thus winds up the spring from the end D<1> as it rotates, the hook repeatedly slipping from groove to groove. Various modifications of this means for preventing overwinding are described; for example, the outer coil of the spring D may be provided at its end with a stiff piece of spring engaging frictionally with the barrel. The spring D serves as a maintainer in the event of the stoppage of the motor for a short period. Fig. 4 shows a special form of electromotor preferably employed for the purpose of the present invention, the motor being designed to reduce friction. The armature M is on a vertical spindle, and its weight is supported by silver disks O which serve both as antifriction rollers and as brushes to convey current to the commutating.disk N. The motor is preferably so constructed, for example by employing magnetically-saturated iron, that it will have a substantially constant torque with varying applied voltage.

Granted: 1913-11-11
Abstract: 25,879. Knorr - Bremse Akt. - Ges. Nov. 21, 1911, [Convention date]. Regulating delivery by varying speed of motor.- Relates to controlling- devices for pumps wherein the action of the pump is rendered operative at a predetermined minimum pressure and inoperative at a predetermined maximum pressure, and consists in providing the switching-out device with pressure fluid until the minimum pressure has been attained to prevent a premature switching-in of the pump. Fig. 1 shows the controlling-device. Liquid is fed from the pressure reservoir by a pipe A, and, when the pressure thereof rises sufficiently, opens the valve C and flows by the pipe J to the switching-out device. The liquid at tha same time acts upon the piston F and opens the valve C<1>, permitting direct communication between the pipes A, J. When the pressure falls below the predetermined minimum, the piston L falls, opens the valve K, and allows liquid from the pipe J to flow to exhaust. The piston F may be replaced by a solenoid traversed by the current of an electric motor driving the pump, as shown in Fig. 3. In the form shown in Fig. 2 the piston F acts directly on the valve C, so that when the latter is opened and fluid passes to the chamber G and the valve C cannot close until the minimumpressure regulator allows the fluid to escape.

A conveyer chain 53, Fig. 3, carries a series of receptacle holders 58 which are mounted on lugs 61, 62, Fig. 5, and serve to ensure the proper introduction of a charge into a receptacle presented to the members or into a bag disposed thereon, The receptacles are each provided with two resilient members 66, 67. The charges x, Fig. 3, are thrust out of pockets 6 on the mould-wheel 5 of a packeting-machine by a plunger 40, a co-operating plunger 75 acting to thrust the charged receptacle out of the machine. In a modification, Figs. 10, 13, and 15, the packet is forced through yielding members 103 in a frame 101 by a plunger 40 into a can &c. in receptacle carriers comprising a main part 91, Fig. 13, with a relatively movable lip 94 and mounted on lugs 99 on a chain 88, Fig. 15.

Abstract: 28,634. Hirst, J. A., and Brook, P. S. Dec. 12. Electro - magnetic switches.-A circuit, the closing of which causes the operation of apparatus, is opened after a predetermined time limit by an electromagnetic safety device unless the operations of the apparatus are completed within the said time limit, in which event the circuit is prevented from being opened by means associated with the apparatus. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, the circuit b is to be connected to the mains P, N. The circuit includes a switch B, which when opened is retained by a spring-controlled detent C, and a parallel circuit includes the winding of an electro-magnet A with a core a<1> attached to the piston a<2> of a dash-pot. The casing a<3> of the dash-pot may be adjusted relatively to the piston by means of a supporting-screw and is set so that, after the switch B has been closed a predetermined time, the plunger a<1> rises and opens the switch B unless it is prevented. If, however, an auxiliary switch D, connected mechanically or electrically to the apparatus that has to be operated, is opened within the predetermined time from the closing of the switch B, a resistance d<3> is inserted into the circuit of the electro-magnet A and reduces the current therein to a value insufficient to operate the plunger a'. A small motor may be used in place of the electro-magnet A, and mechanical means may be used instead of the auxiliary switch D to prevent the actuation of the switch B. The application of the safety device to an automatic multiple-switch motor starter is described.
