Patent GB-190806323-A (GB)
Title: Apparatus for Electro-magnetic Separation.
Inventor: STEINERT FERDINAND
IPC: B03C1/247
Filed: 1907-03-21
Granted: 1909-03-22
Abstract: 6323. Steinert, F., and Stein, H. March 21, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Magnetic separators. - Relates to means for ensuring the release of the attracted particles at the desired part of the revolution in magnetic separators that consist of a series of magnets carried by a revolving drum. A fixed make-andbreak segment h is provided at each end of the drum. Brushes i, connected with the ends of each magnet coil, bear on the segments, which are mounted on disks e, as the drum rotates. Behind the segments h are arranged smaller segments q, separated from the larger segments bv insulation p. These smaller segments are connected so as to provide a short-circuit for the brushes coming on them, and so enable any residual current in the coils to be dissipated ; or they may be so connected with the dynamo as to send a current in the opposite direction through the coils, so as to cause the liberation or even repulsion of the attracted particles. The drums may be polygonal, corrugated, or shaped as shown in Fig. 3, and provided with grooves z across the pole-pieces which make thin places in the latter and so divide each of them into three or more parts, which act as separate magnets. Any known sparkpreventing appliances may be used. The disks carrying the segments may be adjusted on their axes within certain limits, so as to ensure the dropping of the magnetic particles at the desired points. The brushes, instead of sliding on the peripheries of the disks, may slide on their flat surfaces, or the segments may be arranged so that the brushes slide on their inner surfaces. The Specification in the original form, as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a), comprises also the statement that the two conducting-segments may be arranged at the same end of the drum, and that instead of one of the segments a complete conducting-ring may be employed. Also, arrangements are described in which between each conducting - segment and its following shortcircuiting segment an intermediate segment is arranged to prevent sparking, fixed or adjustable resistance being arranged between the two intermediate segments, and the brushes being arranged to bear on the intermediate segment across the insulation before they leave the conducting-segment. This subject-matter does not appear in the Complete Specification as accepted.

Granted: 1908-12-17
Abstract: 7464. Gowans, G. A. April 4. Gumming, pasting, and the like. - A pasting- machine for books, boards, paper, and like materials is constructed so that the book or material may be pasted on both sides simultaneously. The pasting is done by rollers 1, 2, preferably of brass, which are cut at 31, 32 to receive a "jointed" book. The upper roller 1 is provided with automatic means for vertically reciprocating it. The roller 1 is carried in bearings 5 which can move vertically in slots in the machine frame ; but the roller 2, which rotates in a trough 7 of glue, paste, or other adhesive material, is carried in end bushes 4. The spindles of the rollers are provided with bevelwheels 22, 24 which gear with bevel-wheels 21,20 on vertical shafts 14. The bevel-wheels 20 are secured to the shafts, but the bevel-wheels 21 are mounted so that the shafts can slide through them. The shafts 14 also slide through bevel-pinions 13, which are in gear with partly toothed bevel-wheels 12 mounted on the shaft 10, so that the shafts are intermittently rotated. The shaft 10 is connected by gearing 11 to a driving-shaft, and carries arms 15 on which bear rollers 16 attached to a rod 17. The upper ends of these rods are wedge-shaped and engage notches in arms 19 secured to the shafts 14. A further reciprocating motion is given to the shafts by cams 26, which bear against pins 30 and are mounted on a shaft 27. These cams are shaped and driven so that the top roller only receives this motion when the rollers 1, 2 are revolving in contact and no book is inserted. A travelling band of string, wire, or other material is fitted behind the rollers to carry away the pasted articles. The bevel - gearing described may be replaced by frictional, chain, or other suitable gearing.
