Title: Hinge Couplings or Lacings for Driving Belts.
Inventor: LIDDLE JOHN
Filed: 1907-09-03
Granted: 1907-11-14
Abstract: 19,657. Liddle, J., [Flexible Steel Lacing Co.J. Sept. 3. Hinges.-A hinge-coupling for driving-belts is made from sheet metal and consists of two pivotally united parts. Each coupling member comprises a pivot bar 2, Fig. 6, and two sets of prongs 3, 4 having bent pointed ends 5, such ends being longer than the width of the pivot bar and the thickness of the belt so that they may be clinched in the belt. Preferably the two rows of prongs on each member are relatively staggered. By this means, interference of the points and any tendency of the pivot bar to bend are avoided, since each prong of the one member is directly in line with one of the other members. For thick belts, longitudinal ribs 6, Fig. 5, may be provided to facilitate the pivotal action of the bars 2, and the prongs may be bent as shown at C, to ensure their being buried in the belt. The coupling may be made in long strips and divided as desired.

Title: Pumping, Measuring & Returning Liquids
Inventor: STURGESS GEORGE
Filed: 1908-01-29
Granted: 1909-01-21
Abstract: 2013. Sturgess, G., and Sturgess, C. Jan. 29. Waste and residual liquid, catching and returning. -Relates to a device for collecting the overflow beer from beer engines out of contact with the air, and for returning the same to the pump barrel in quantities equal in volume to that of the barrel so that no air may enter the latter. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the beer collects in the pipe 3 above a valve 11, which is mounted upon a stem connected at the top to the valve 10 in such a manner that, when one valve is open, the other is closed. As soon as the beer from the drainer 1 no longer runs into the pipe 3, the handle 10<a> is turned, thereby closing the ports 8 and opening the valve 11, so that, at the next stroke of the pump, the beer passes through the pipe 4 into the pump barrel 5. The parts 8 are then opened again and the valve 11 closed. In the form shown in Fig. 2, the device is rendered automatic by providing a rubber float valve 14 with a flexible stem 16 connecting it to the lower valve 15. Beer entering the drainer lifts the valve 14 and enters the pipe until the weight of liquid acting on the valve 15 together with the suction action of the pump causes the lower valve to open, admitting the beer to the pump barrel.

Abstract: 9406. Samuelson, E., and Backhouse, J. April 21. [Cognate Application, 22,850/09.] Processes for reduction of grain.-In milling, the material from the break-rolls passes direct to a sieve 3, which separates the flour, dunst, and middlings from the bran and coarse particles, and the two portions are then treated separately. The throughs pass at once to the usual sifting or dressing machine 30, and the tailings are conveyed to an aspirator 13 preferably of the kind described in Specification 9407/09, [Class 117, Sifting &c.], from which the lighter particles are sent to a grading-reel 17. The various grades and tailings pass to separate aspirators 19, 21, 22, or the finest grade may be treated in a sieve or reel. If an aspirator is used, the light material of low quality is sent to a dressing-machine 32, and the heavier material of high quality is sent to the dressing-machine 30. The heavy material from the aspirators 21, 22 is sent to a purifier or break or scratch-rolls 23, and to break-rolls 25 respectively, the light particles from both aspirators comprising bran or offal. The heavy material from the aspirator 13 is treated on a scalper 15, the finer particles passing to smooth rolls 27; or the heavier particles only may be separated by an aspirator 28 and passed to the rolls, the light material passing to the reel 17 or to another grading- reel. The coarser throughs from the scalper 15 are similarly treated, the heavy material being conveyed to scratch or fine break rolls. The sieve 3 is either flat or curved, and may be horizontal or oblique. It is shown pivoted at 5 for adjustment, and is fixed by a slotted lug 6. It may be vibrated by a hammer 7. Air is drawn down through the sieve to the shaft 9, the chamber beneath the sieve being made airtight by an apron 10 and a flexible connexion 11. The sieve may be graduated and the throughs then pass into separate chambers. A brush 4 may be used to prevent the material from being carried past the sieve.
