Title: Means for Assembling and Adjusting the Milking Parts in Milking Machines
Inventor: LJUNGSTROEM FREDRIK
Filed: 1904-03-31
Granted: 1904-08-04
Abstract: 7712. Ljungstr÷m, F. March 31. Cow - milkers. - The milking-parts are carried by four rods, which are so mounted that they may be separately adjusted in any direction and then be locked in position by rotating them about their axes. Fig. 1 shows a section through one of the rods. The four rods pass through openings in a transverse tube b, and the part of each within the tube is enclosed between two cylindrical blocks d, which are let into two outer blocks e in contact with the internal surface of the tube. The blocks d are rotatable about their vertical axes, and the blocks e about horizontal axes. Between the rod a and the blocks d are keys or wedges f, the cross-section of the key-way h in the blocks d gradually increasing in width towards the rod a, so that the rod may be rotated slightly about its axis. When the keys fare in the position shown, they press the blocks d, e firmly together and against the tube b, so that friction prevents them from moving, but when the rods a are rotated, the keys assume an inclined position, the pressure on the blocks is released, and the rods may be adjusted longitudinally, vertically, or laterally. The keys f are arranged upon a collar i let into the blocks d. The milking-parts may be connected to union-pipes attached to the end of the rods a and conneoted with the air supply by flexible pipes.

The material is fed upon a grading-screen A divided into two or more sections, below which is a hopper-shaped col lecting-plate A<1> divided into sections to correspond with the sieve A and fitted with a longitudinal outlet at a through which the graded material falls in a thin stream upon a series of sloping trays C with baffles or spreaders c<1>. As the material falls from the outlet a, it is subjected to purification by a cross current of air through the chamber D. The heavy material falls upon the trays C, the semi-pure material is deposited in a trough c and passes to the outside of the machine, while the light material is carried through the adjustable opening d into an air chamber E in which the heavy particles fall out into a channel E<1>, while, the light particles are carried to a dust collector F of any suitable construction. The sloping trays C discharge the material into troughs which deliver it upon the purifier sieve B. A hood or cover H is fixed over the sieve B, and is formed with channels or passages which become more restricted in area the farther they are from the sieve, so that the material lifted from the sieve is prevented from falling back but is discharged through a valve e into the chamber E. The valve e extends the whole length of the section of the sieve, and is adjustable at either end to regulate the strength of the air current along the sieve. A compensating - valve f is provided for each section, and is operated simultaneously with the valve e so that the current of air passing through each section of the sieve B can be regulated without interfering with the action of the air current in the other sections.

Granted: 1907-07-11
Abstract: 20,834. Berthon, R., and Gambs, J. Sept. 22, 1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Colour photography; sensitized plates; screens.- A fabric of fine coloured filaments or an assemblage of such filaments is placed upon a glass plate and coated with a sensitized emulsion. Alternative arrangements for the net are described. Weft and warp threads are arranged with alternate filaments of each of the three colours ; or weft or warp are alternately a filament of each of the three colours, leaving the filaments of opposite direction in white or non-coloured silk ; or an assemblage of filaments without weaving or interlacing may be used; or a fabric is used the warp of which is dyed in one colour, the weft with a second colour, the interstices are filled in with the third colour, either by means of a colour powder, or preferably by using a coloured gelatin or varnish. Tne third colour in the interstices may be obtained by using a gelatin film sensitized with a ferric or chromic salt which gives a coloured reaction when exposed. In making the screen plates, the coloured filaments on leaving the spools are placed on slightly conical rollers, which by rotating and sliding the threads along the generating line bring them into contact. The contact is facilitated by moistening the filaments with a viscous liquid, and by causing them to travel over a polished cylinder the tangential velocity of which is slightly greater than the velocity of the filaments. In printing positives from negatives on these plates, the positive plate is printed with its filaments rectangularly crossing the corresponding negative filaments. The Specification in the original form as published under the Act of 1901 comprises also the use of certain vegetable fibres and insects' filaments, spun glass, artificial silk, and the like ; and also covering the filaments with a layer of gelatin the coefficient of refraction of which differs as widely as possible from the coefficient of the filament materials, so that the latter act individually as isolated refracting cylinders ; and also the further application to films, papers, &c. for the production of photographic prints in natural colours either by developing or inking, in the case of paper attenuated and highly transparent colours being used This subject-matter does not appear in the Complete Specification as accepted.
