Granted: 1910-09-29
Abstract: 10,903. Diver, D. May 4, 1909, [Convention date]. Rotary filters or strainers. - Apparatus for drying marl, slurries, limes, clays, peat, silicas, &c., comprising a wheel having filtering or screening fabric on its periphery and rotating in a trough 33 is connected with one vacuum pump or single means of exhaustion. The wheel is divided internally into segmental compartments from which the liquid is withdrawn through passages 1<a> in the hub registering during rotation with passages in a fixed valve block 21, some of which communicate by pipes 20 with a vacuum chamber 16 and pump 40, while others communicate with a blower or compressed air device 41. A valve 10 is fitted on each of the pipes 20 so that the degree of vacuum in the several segmental compartments can be varied according to the position successively occupied during rotation. The blast discharges the dried material from the wheel so that it falls outside the trough.

Granted: 1910-12-22
Abstract: 23,747. Wesberg, A. Oct. 13. Potato diggers.-To prevent the potatoes and soil from falling back upon the share or the ground, they are conveyed along a closed channel in which provision is made for detaching and separating earth, stones, &c. In one form of machine, the potatoes pass from the share i, Fig. 1, to a passage in which scoops b rotate. They are thus carried up and thrown upon sieves d suspended from and rocked about the axle a by rod and crank mechanism in connexion with a rotating shaft o. The sieves slope longitudinally, so that while earth and small potatoes fall upon a second screen e, where the tubers are retained, large potatoes; stems, and stones are delivered to a travelling apron n. This is inclined at such an angle that potatoes roll down to a receptacle r, but stones &c. are discharged upon the ground as shown by the arrow q. In another form, the potatoes &c. are carried by a lath conveyer 4, Fig. 5, along a channel 7 closed in by wire netting 8 and delivered to a travelling apron 5. Stems &c. are discharged upon the ground while the potatoes pass into a riddle 16, Fig. 6, containing two sieves 17 separated from two sieves 18 by netting 27 by means of which soil is removed from the tubers. Scoop conveyers 25 raise them into bags 26. The riddle 16 is oscillated about the axle 2 by means of a crank 21 on a toothed wheel 23 loose on a shaft 12, where it is rotated by a wheel 22 fast on the axle 2.

Abstract: 26,019. Hahnle, C. Kurtz-. Nov. 21. Pulp, preparation of.-In removing ink or colour from old paper in the production of pulp, the paper is soaked with diluted lye, preferably a solution of sodium peroxide or of a peroxide of an alkaline earth such as magnesium peroxide, then delivered by a sieve c, Fig. 1, through light pressure rolls e, f, g, h, which squeeze out the superfluous liquid, to a rotating screw conveyer m, Fig. 3, the pitch of which decreases towards its upper end. This conveyer carries the material over perforations n through which the squeezed-out liquor drains. The mass is then mixed with water and reduced to fibres by agitation, after which it is carried on a sieve c, Fig. 2, under sprinklers p which wash away the impurities. Any construction of agitating-apparatus may be used, but that described in Specification 24,372/10 is particularly suitable.

Abstract: 27,264. Pilkington, H. M., Miller, C. A., and Motley, A. H. Dec. 5. Contact printing-frames; printing-apparatus, step-and-repeat, printing-frames with pneumatic pressure devices.-In a multiple photographic printing-frame, a straight-edge is provided for determining the register position of the negative and for carrying a device whereby the development of and registering by the register marks as described in Specification 24,487/11 is facilitated ; the printing-frame is also provided with means for lifting and lowering the transparent cover, for holding the cover raised to any extent, and for securing the frame when tilted at any angle. The printing-frame shown in side elevation in Fig. 2, comprises a transparent lid carried by a pair of arms E' pivotally mounted on the box A, which is supported on trunnions G. Curved racks P are secured to the lid by which it can be raised on rotation of the hand-lever P<4>. A roller P<5> keeps each rack up to its pinion, and the lid is held in any desired position by a pawl Q'. The frame is held in a tilted position by the engagement of a pawl R<2> in the corresponding notch of a semicircular plate R secured to the base of the frame. The frame is provided with a pad of rubber having on its outer edge a beading C, Fig. 3, with a double edge on which the lid rests. The parts are firmly pressed together by exhausting the air in the known manner. Catches N, controlled by the levers N<3>, are provided for securing the lid in its depressed position. To determine the register positions of the negative, metal strips S, having holes S<1>, are secured to the frame and are adapted to carry a straightedge T which in turn adjustably carries a metal strip T<3>. The strip T<3> is preferably provided with a scale and slidably carries two metal pieces T<4> having apertures T<5>. In a modified construction, the straight-edge may move on a slideway, or the strips S may be replaced by screws. A negative H, provided at the corners with register marks J, is placed in position and the rest of the sensitized plate covered by an opaque mask. The position of the negative is then noted when the apertures T<5> coincide with the register marks on the negative. The straight-edge is next withdrawn, the lid is closed, and the print is taken. The straightedge is then replaced in its original position, the negative moved, and the portion of the plate under the apertures T<5> developed. The negative is next moved along the straight-edge until the register marks on the left side of the negative agree with the developed marks on the plate. A fresh print is then taken and the process repeated until the plate is covered, whereupon it is withdrawn and developed in the usual manner.
