Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Use in Filtering, or Separating, Liquids from Solids
Inventor: THOMPSON COURTENAY WILLIAM
Filed: 1902-01-20
Granted: 1902-12-11
Abstract: 1562. Thompson, C. W. Jan. 20. Pressure filters; discharging solid matter.-Consists of apparatus in which the separation of solids from liquids, as, for instance, in the treatment of gold-ore slimes, can be carried on more or less continuously. In the upper part of a closed chamber, to which liquid is admitted by inlets c, are arranged filtering-devices a, and in the bottom of the chamber is an outlet k, through which the separated solid matter is discharged, if necessary, by a conveyer l or the like, having a forward or a forward and backward motion. The cakes collecting on the filtering-devices are removed from time to time by scrapers, or by a reverse flow of liquid, and fall to the bottom of the chamber without mixing to any serious extent with the liquid therein. The filtering-devices consist of grooved plates covered with filtering-cloth and arranged as shown or as in a filter press. In order to retain the cloths in place against the reverse flow of liquid, they may be held down by various means, such as wires bound round them, or wires passing through the heads of bolts screwed into the plates, or by metal bands held down by bolts. In every case provision is made for forming water-tight joints where the bolts go through the filtering-cloth. As shown, the filter plates are screwed up against the inside of the cover. In a modification they pass through slots, round which a joint is made by the flanged heads of the plates. In a modification described in the Provisional Specification, there are a number of filter chambers in series, constructed so that some clear liquid is filtered off from each chamber, while the remainder of the liquid together with the separated solid (which is removed by a brush or the like) pass on to the next chamber. Thus the liquid to be treated enters at one end of the series, and solid matter with a minimum of liquid is discharged at the other end. The Provisional Specification also describes means for operating the conveyer, and for giving it, in some cases, a. jerky motion so as to prevent solid matter from adhering to it.

Granted: 1902-07-31
Abstract: 8766. Lake, H. H., [Kalling, L.]. April 15. Stamping. - Relates to the manufacture of bottle-sealing caps, such as are described in Specification No. 12,649, A.D. 1896, [Abridgment Class Stoppering &c.], in which the cap is formed with an annular hollow bead or groove in its flange to receive the packing-washer, the groove being flattened out in applying the cap, to compress the washer and form a tight joint with the bottle neck. In the present invention, the caps Z are punched out from sheet metal and stamped to the form shown in Fig. 17, the end of a tube of rubber is inserted in the cap and a portion of it is cut off to form the washer z, after which the edge of the cap is turned in, as shown in Fig. 18, to secure the washer. The sheet-metal strip, from which the caps are to be formed is fed beneath the stamping-die R, Figs. 5 and 16, by the two pairs of rollers r, driven by pawls and ratchets, the blanks being cut out by the punch P, and formed by the dies R, Q while held by the spring plunger p. A revoluble table B, formed with recesses f containing plungers g, receives the caps in succession in its recesses, and carries them with a stepby-step motion to the washering and fixing mechanism. The rubber tube A', Fig. 9, is mounted on the mandrel B within the revoluble sleeve C<2>, and is fed out by the levers H<2>, actuated through the links L<2> by the reciprocating sleeve K', so that the end of the tube enters each cap, as the latter comes into position, and is then cut off by a rotating cutter to form the washer. At the next stage, the cap is carried beneath the plunger A', the bevelled inner edge of which turns in the edge of the cap, the cap being held during this operation by the spring plunger B<4> and the subsidiary plungers b<4>, the latter of which serve to detach the finished cap. After leaving the plunger A<4>, the plungers g travel up an inclined track, which raises the caps clear of the recesses f in the table B, so that they are caught by a deflector and discharged through a shoot.

Title: Improvements in and relating to the Manufacture of Chains and Apparatus therefor.
Inventor: SCHAR CLOTILDE
Filed: 1903-02-24
Granted: 1903-12-31
Abstract: 4372. Schar, C., and Schmid, M. Feb. 24. Welding chains. The sliding rams 7, 8, 9, 10 of the welding-machine are arranged close behind the heating- apparatus. The rams 7, 8 are for welding the horizontal links, and the rams 9, 10 for the vertical links. The opposite rams are brought together simultaneously by cams 11, 12, 13, 14, which bear on rollers in the sliding frames 3, 4, 5, 6. Springs such as 15, 16 tend to keep the rams apart. The device for feeding the chain is shown in Figs. 1 and 4. The cam 38 gives a reciprocating motion to the rod 35, and.thereby alternately raises and lowers the slide 27, which carries the hooked rod 28, the bent end of which engages with links of the chain when the rod is in its lowest position. The vertical slide 27 is carried by a horizontal slide 39. While the rod 28 engages with the chain the slide 39 is drawn backwards by the cam 44 acting through the lever 40. The arm 45 is firmly secured to the lever 40, while the arm 46 is pivoted to it. The arms 45, 46 surround the pin 40' on the slide 39. The cam 44 rotates once while two links are being welded. The cam is, therefore, constructed to draw back the chain through the space of two links during one rotation. The travel of the rod 28 may be limited by adjusting the stops 48, 49 by turning the right and left handed screw 50. The longitudinal position of the rod 28 may be adjusted by the screw shown.

Title: Improved Mechanism for Automatically Stopping a Loom and Opening the Shed when a Weft Thread Breaks.
Inventor: LANGE FRIEDRICH
Filed: 1903-08-19
Granted: 1903-11-12
Abstract: 17,955. Lange, F. Aug. 19. Loom slop - motions.- Relates to mechanism for automatically stopping a loom, and then moving it to the open-shed position, when the weft thread breaks. One or two fingers 3 arranged to slide in guides 2 fixed to the lay 1 are connected by a cord to the weft controller, which, so long as the weft is laid in the shed, acts at every revolution of the loom to move the fingers 3 so that they clear the lever 6 at the beat-up, a spring effecting their return. When the weft fails, the controller does not act, and the fingers come against the lever 6, which is thus moved to stop the loom. A spring 9 fixed at one end and connected at the other end to the lever 6 first acts to check the motion of the lay, and then returns the lay to open the shed for the insertion of the missing weft. In one modification, the fingers 3 are mounted on vertical pivots in a bracket fixed to the lay. In another, the fingers are replaced by a bar, which is reciprocated, by the weft controller, in guides on the lay, and an aperture in the bar is normally brought opposite the knocking-off lever at the beat-up. When the weft fails, the bar is not moved in its guides, and acts against the lever.

Granted: 1904-12-31
Abstract: 4477. Waller, W. Feb. 23. Making bottle, jar, and like stoppers; screwing; spinning.-Relates to a machine for manufacturing screwed metal caps for bottles. The blanks are placed upon a plate x rotated intermittently so as to bring each blank in turn beneath a sciewed mandrel w. The mandrel is mounted upon a vertically - reciprocating shaft n, and, upon the descent of the shaft n, the mandrel enters the blank and carries it down through the plate x and between two screwed rolls 2. The holes in the plate x are made large enough to take the largest caps and they may be fitted with sets of rings to adapt them to take smaller caps ; the distance between the rolls 2 may be adjusted for caps of different sizes. The axial movement of the shaft n is effected by a screwed sleeve u rigidly fixed to the shaft and working through a nut v on the frame of the machine. The intermittent rotation of the plate x is derived from the reciprocation of the shaft n through a ratchet-wheel, a pawl, and a system of levers. The shaft n is caused to rotate first in one direction and then in the opposite direction, for inserting the mandrel into, or withdrawing it from, a blank, by means of a friction clutch. The clutch member m is splined on the shaft n and actuated by a cam on a countershaft to engage one or other of two continuouslyrotating clutch members m<1>, m<2> driven by open and crossed belts respectively. The support 8 of the plate x can be moved up and down a slide 9 to adjust the machine for caps of different heights.
