Title: Improvements in Stamp-mill Machinery.
Inventor: ANDERSON JAMES CALDWELL
Filed: 1907-04-20
Granted: 1907-08-22
Abstract: 9217. Anderson, J. C. April 20. Stamps, ore and like; crushers with vibrating jaws.-In a modification of the ore stamp described in Specification No. 24,277, A.D. 1903, the mortars 8, Figs. 2 and 3, are mounted upon the ends of a vibrating rocker or lever 7 so that the momentum shock of each stamp in its mortar will, while crushing the ore, cause the opposite mortar with its anvil to rise and deliver an upward blow against its stamp, at the same time actuating the vibrating jaws 53 of a crusher arranged above the mortars. The stamps are raised by means of oscillating latches 28 pivoted to the ends of a lever 22 carried by the arch-shaped casting 10. Rods 74, Fig. 4, connected to the ends of a cross-head 73 reciprocated by the piston-rod 72 of an hydraulic cylinder 65 are pivotally connected to wrist pins or lugs 75 on the bifurcated crank-arm 24 of the lever 22. The oscillating valve 70 regulating the water supply to the cylinder 65 is operated by a controller valve 71 actuated by a rod 77 connected to an extension 76 of one of the side-rods 74. The upper face of the vertical arm of the latch 28 engages under a collar 32 on the stamp-stem 33, and at the end of the upward movement of the stamp the horizontal arm of the latch comes into contact with the top of an I-shaped piece 35 carried by the spring-operating rod 36, causing the latch to turn on its pivot and release the collar 32, thus allowing the stamp to fall. At the end of the downward stroke of the lever 22, the horizontal arm of the latch contacts with the lower end of the piece 35 and ensures that the vertical arm of the latch engages under the collar 32. The caps 45 closing the upper ends of the mortars are formed with vertical extensions against which the inner ends of the toggles 49 which actuate the vibrating jaws 53 bear. A piece 61 directs the ore crushed by the jaws 53 to the throats 62 of the mortars. Screens 63<x> are arranged in the three outer sides of each mortar, and the exhaust water from the cylinder 65 is carried by pipes 64 to the mortars. A cushioned anvil or stop 5 below each end of the rocker 7 limits the vibration of the latter.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Devices for Regulating the Axial Pressure in Turbines Centrifugal Pumps and other like Machines.
Inventor: EYERMANN WILHELM HEINRICH
Filed: 1907-07-10
Granted: 1908-02-27
Abstract: 15,859. Eyermann, W. H. July 10. Centrifugal pumps, -The end - thrust in radial-flow turb i n e s, centrifugal pumps, &c. is balanced by providing a balancing chamber at the back of the rotor or impeller, and admitting fluid therein, the counterbalancing pressu re being varied automatically by the axial shifting of the shaft. Shocks are prevented by the use of a dash-pot. In the case of a centrifugal pump having blades B, Fig. 1, on one side of a disk, an end-thrust to the left is set up. High-pressure fluid in the discharge chamber C flows through labyrinth packing D to the balancing chamber E. Thence it leaks through a small annular orifice G to a passage H, and discharges into the inlet chamber A. The labyrinth packing D is such that a slight axial movement of the impeller makes no difference to the flow into the chamber E, but such a movement makes a considerable difference to the flow through the orifice G. The pressure within the chamber E is therefore varied automatically as the end-thrust is varied and the latter is counterbalanced. To avoid sudden shocks, a dash-pot K is provided filled with oil, within which is a piston I carried by the impeller shaft. In a modification, the dash-pot is of such dimensions as to form a travel-limiting device for the shaft.
