Abstract: 8274. Chatwin. A., Chatwin, J., and Chatwin, T., [trading as Chatwin, T.], and Chatwin, T. P., and Virtue, J. April 6. S c r e w i n g; dieheads.-The dies of a screwing-machine are released from the work, without stopping the machine, by the use of a brake to retard a cam which is normally held in a position for closing the dies by a spring, but is overrun by the die-head when the brake is applied. The dies D, Fig. 1, are adjusted by a cam C with eccentric ribs c', which is provided with an annular groove c<2> to receive a. spring E. The spring is connected at one end to a pin b<3>, which fixes a block B in a conical or stepped concentric slot a<1> in the die-head, and at the other end to a pin on the cam, which passes through a concentric slot in the block B, so as to allow relative motion between the cam and die-head. The spring tends to press the dies inwards, and the diameter of cut is varied by the adjustment of the block in the slot a<1>. A brake, shown as a band brake F, is operated to retard the cam and open the dies, the tension of the spring being used to close the dies when the brake is released. The brake may be operated by a screw, or automatically, as shown in Fig. 6, in which the movable end of the brake is engaged by a screw stop on a spindle g<1>, which is advanced by being rotated in a fixed nut through the agency of a pinion g<6> and a rackbar H.

IPC: B01F3/12
Filed: 1910-03-17
Granted: 1911-03-16
Abstract: 6721. Loring, F. H. March 17. Conditioning flour and meal; treating flour and meal with gases and with sprayed liquids. - Flour, semolina, or the like is treated with water, solutions, or other liquids by allowing it to fall upon a rotating surface which carries the liquid, or to pass near the surface so as to meet the vapour or fine spray thrown off by centrifugal force. In one form, suitable for semolina, the cylinder a<1> takes up liquid from a trough e<1> which is supplied by a pump f and nozzle i<1>. Any excess is thrown off or is removed by a rotary brush j<1>, a receiving-trough P being provided, and the remainder distributed by an air-blast from a nozzle k<1>, any drops being finally removed by a travelling or stationary rubber band m<1>. The semolina is shaken from a sieve b<1> from which any excess feed escapes by an outlet d<1>. Fine particles adhering to the cylinder are removed by a blast, which may be chilled, from the pipe o<1>. In another form, which is also suitable for flour since the material does not come into contact with the moist surface, the liquid falls on a conical plate inside the cylinder which is mounted on a vertical shaft driven, preferably, by an induction motor without slip-rings. The cylinder is lined with felt or other porous material, with which also apertures in the drum surface are filled. The flour &c. is distributed by an annular sieve over which move scrapers and brushes supported and driven by a ring running on rollers on a circular track and having teeth which engage with a bevelled pinion. After falling through the vapour or spray from the drum apertures, the flour is collected by another set of scrapers mounted and driven similarly to those on the sieve. The joints between the scraper supports and the casing are packed with flexible rings. Chilled air may be introduced round the cylinder, sometimes producing a fine snow, but in any case the rapid evaporation cools the material, which may itself have been previously cooled.

Granted: 1911-08-14
Abstract: 11,819. Stone & Co., J., [Shelley, A. D. G.]. May 12. [Cognate Application, 24,568/10.] Moistening; washing.-Relates to devices for cooling, disinfecting, purifying, perfuming, or humidifying the air supplied to buildings, railway coaches, hospitals, &c., in which the air is caused to pass over, or through, or make contact with an absorbent screen damped with water or other liquid, disinfectant solutions, or perfume. According to the invention, the screen is supported in a framing constructed with one or more of its members hollow, or with the top member in the form of a trough or tank, the hollow members being adapted for the direct reception and storage of liquid from a suitable supply, or for the reception of a porous container. The edges of the screen, or stands thereof, or wicks or feeders connected to the screen, enter holes or slots in the hollow members and convey the liquid by capillary attraction, various means being provided for preventing the dripping of the liquid. The screen is preferably composed of a woven fabric of loose texture such as castor-oil wicking, and the feeders of a thicker and more closely woven material such as lamp wicking or thick towelling. Fig. 1 shows a rectangular tubular frame a enclosing anabsorbent screen d kept moist by water which soaks through absorbent filling in the slots of the frame. Suitable air escape valves are provided on the frame to enable it to be readily filled with liquid. Fig. 2 shows one method of closing the slot in the tubing so as to prevent leakage, the wick or feeder c connected to the screen d being doubled at g and folded back upon itself at h. In other methods (1) a tubular wick receives a core which prevents the wick from passing through the slot and enables the wick to be adjustably pressed against the borders of the slot; (2) the core is surrounded by a band enveloped by the tubular wick, and means, such as a screw coupling-device, are provided for adjusting the distance between the end of the band so as to vary the pressure upon the core and wick; (3) instead of devices for pressing upon the wicks, the screen is put under tension; thus, if the screen is suspended from a water container, tensioning - devices may be attached to the lower frame member. This lower member may be constructed as, or provided with, a drip-catching trough. Figs. 11 and 12 illustrate how a framework is built up by bolting together similar halves c. Members of the framework which do not contain liquid are constructed with webs perforated at intervals for enabling the screen to be secured thereto. Fig. 15 illustrates the combination with a screen d, of a fan 9 and a tubular casing lined with absorbent material 12 adapted to catch drip or leakage from the screen. Screens suitable for use in a railway-carriage window are mounted on pivots and provided with set-screws or other means for holding them in any adjusted position.
