Inventor: TURNER PEIRSON
IPC: B02C4/28
Filed: 1912-09-09
Granted: 1913-05-29
Abstract: 20,475. Turner, P. Sept. 9. Roller mills.-A feeding-device for roller mills used for treating cereal products and other granular materials, especially bran &c., comprises two feed - rolls A, B between which is placed a weir or distributing-piece D against which the feed-gate C shuts. The back roll A is made with buckets similar to a water-wheel, and is driven in the opposite direction to that in general use so that the buckets form inclined planes down which the bran &c. travels. The gate C is hinged at the top G, and is adjustable towards or from the upwardly-moving side of the roller A by means of a screw H and nut J. The roller A may be hexagonal, octagonal, &c., but it is preferably square so as to form four buckets K. The hopper-tray R and guide-block F are preferably of wood, and the wooden weirpiece D has a sheet-metal covering on the face next the roll A. The front feed-roll B is fluted, and runs faster than the back roll A.

Abstract: 22,131. Kennedy, J. N. C. Sept. 28. Party-line systems.-In a party-line telephone system arranged for railway traffic control, a line station calls another line station by bridging a battery across the lead and return and making a code call, and calls the control station by earthing both the lead and return. Fig. 7 shows the connexions at a control station with two incoming lines B1, B2 and thiee operators P1, P2, P3. An incoming line B1, B2 is multipled to the keys K1, K2 of the operators' positions and is connected through inductance C, and a relay R, to the battery terminals C S. When the two sides B1, B2 of the line are earthed at a line station, the relay R, is energized, and a hold-on circuit is completed from the battery terminals M S through the inductors i1 at the operators' positions. A key K1 can be operated in one direction to connect the speaking-instruments Pt3 and to break the indicator circuit, and in the other direction to connect the ringing battery R S to line. The magnetic cut-out M C is provided to indicate when a call is received while the control office is calling on the same line. A night bell N B is provided. Switches U1, U2 are placed on a testing-board. Fuses F1, F2, lighting-arresters L1, L2, and heat coils H1, H2, are placed in the line. A line station is provided with two keys, one key for bridging a battery across the line and making a code call to another line station, and the other key for earthing both sides of the line to call the control station.

Granted: 1913-09-18
Abstract: 9696. Lesser, P. April 24. Tobacco.-In a process and apparatus for separating whole and broken cigarettes and pieces of cigarette, and reclaiming the particles of tobacco from factorv waste cigarette papers, the waste is caused to fall repeatedly through a transverse current of air, which carries away all light pieces of paper and particles of tobacco, into an apparatus where they are brushed against a wire - gauze screen, through which the tobacco alone passes. The waste is charged into a rotary drum A, having internal curved vanes D which lift the charge and allow it to fall repeatedly through a transverse current of air caused by the fan G. A trap E prevents the whole and broken cigarettes &c. from being blown, with the light pieces of paper and particles of tobacco, into the screening-apparatus, which consists of a fixed cylindrical screen M provided with a rotary spiral brush N the bristles N<1> of which are set at an angle to the radii. The tobacco is forced through the screen, and the paper is conveyed along the screen and discharged at the end. The drum A is driven from a friction wheel K, which is readily brought into and out of engagement with the drum and the driving-shaft H.

Abstract: 12,402. Wills, W. R. May 28. Water - tube boilers. - The boiler shown in Fig. 1 consists of vertical headers g arranged around a central steam and water drum a and connected therewith by inclined tubes h, which may be straight or curved and radial in plan, as shown in Fig. 4, or non-radial and crossing each other, as shown in Fig. 2. In the case of curved tubes, the ends enter the drum and headers horizontally and the curvature is such that the tubes may be seen through. One or two of the bottom rows of tubes may be inclined in the reverse direction, and may support firebrick baffles forming the roof of the combustion chamber. Other baffles may be fitted higher up amongst the tubes. The headers are provided at the top and bottom with hand-holes g<1> and are supported by the casing d of the furnace, which surrounds the bottom part of the central drum. An annular space is arranged between the casing d and its lining through which air can pass into the combustion chamber. Air may also be heated in a double casing s forming the lower part of the uptake, as shown in Fig. 10. The casing n of the boiler is supported by rollers m<1> on a rail m and is provided with a door which may be brought round to give access to any part of the boiler behind the casing; or a double casing from which air is exhausted and adapted to be raised and lowered may be employed. In another arrangement, a plain casing of brick or iron is fitted at a sufficient distance from the headers to give room for a man to pass around the annular space thus formed. The spaces between the headers may be filled in with removable firebrick blocks or a combination of fire-brick block and metal may be provided. A superheater may be fitted, the tubes r of which depend amongst the water-tubes, as shown in Fig. 1, or occupy a space formed by omitting some of the water-tubes. The central drum may be surmounted by a steam drum a<1>.
