Title: Improvements in or relating to Filters for Separating Water or Solution from Solids, such as Slimy Ores, Pulp, and the like.
Inventor: RIDGWAY GEORGE
Filed: 1906-05-18
Granted: 1906-09-06
Abstract: 11,623. Ridgway, G. May 18. Pneumatic filters.-Filter trays T, supported by framework X from a central spindle, are made to travel in an annular tank A<1>, divided by radial partitions into three compartments, two of which contain ore slimes or the like and washing-liquid, respectively, while the third is used as a discharge outlet for the separated solids. The trays T consist of corrugated surfaces, covered with screens and filtering-material, and are connected by flexible pipes to multiple-way valves U. When a tray is passing through the compartment B', which contains the slime, the liquid is drawn into the tray and through the valve U to a chamber D formed in the spindle, passing thence down the internal pipe F to a stationary chamber G in connexion with a vacuum pump. The tray is lifted over from one compartment to another of the tank A<1> by means of a roller T<1> travelling on a circular rail, which has elevated portions at the required positions. While the tray is in the compartment C', the washing-liquid drawn into the filter trays passes through the valve U, which is also operated by a roller on a circular track with elevated portions, and thence to a chamber H and down an outer pipe in the spindle to a stationary chamber L connected to a second vacuum chamber. When the tray is passing through the third compartment of the tank A', it is connected through the valve U to the chamber A, in which a piston C, having admission valves for compressed air, is reciprocated so as to submit the filtering-material to pulsations which will throw off the layer of solid material carried by it. The spindle is rotated by worm gearing S, packing-boxes M, N, 0 being provided to make air - tight joints between the spindle and the fixed chambers G, L. The tank B<1> is provided with agitators, and both the tanks B', C' have chambers G' with float valves to keep a constant liquid level. In modified apparatus shown in Fig. 3, a hollow pipe 1 is divided by a partition 2 and covered by a rotating cap 5, to which are hinged frames X for supporting the filter trays and from whichradiate arms 6 connected with the trays by flexible joints. Each tray is also connected through the chamber A with an air inlet 9. Automatically-operated valves on these connexions allow of the withdrawal of the solution and wash liquid through the divisions of the pipe 1 and the admission of air from the pipe 9 to discharge the solids. It is stated that the apparatus might be arranged to receive a reciprocatory motion instead of a circular one.

Shelves and shelving.-Metal shelving is built up of hollow vertically-slotted uprights which support, upon projecting pegs, a number of slotted cross-pieces serving to carry the sheet-metal shelves, the ends of which are turned down and secured in the slots of the cross-pieces. The projecting pegs serve also to support the edges of the shelves, which may be strengthened by angle-iron. The system of shelves is adapted to be extended on the unit system. The tubular uprights a are secured in pairs upon the floor, preferably by means of flanged feet f, Fig. 6, on which the uprights fit. The tubes have vertical slots d which are arranged to face one another and to receive the ends of slotted cross-bars each consisting of two parallel bars b, Fig. 4, a pin k passing through the upright and through a hole in the cross-bar, or other means, serving to secure the latter in position. The sheet-metal shelves c have their ends bent down and inserted in the slots between the parallel bars b, the edges of the flanges being in some cases bent round the bars to secure the shelf. The front and back edges of the shelves may be strengthened by angle-irons n, Fig. 2, over which the edges of the sheet are extended to form an ornamental ledge, the angle-iron resting at its ends on the projecting portions of the pins k. When greater strength is required, the cross-bars are formed of double angle-irons, and opposite bars may be connected by struts. Partitions j, Fig. 1, may be fitted in the slots of the uprights and between the double cross bars b, and are held in position by turning the ends round the cross-bars.

Title: Improvements in the Method of and Apparatus for Shrinking Piece Goods.
Inventor: LEES SAFFRON
Filed: 1906-06-20
Granted: 1907-05-23
Abstract: 14,115. Lees, S., Eastwood, W., and Eastwood, A. June 20. Liquids, apparatus for treating with.-In shrinking piece goods, the fabric n passes between rollers i and damping-rollers a, b by which the sides are successively damped. The fabric then passes over guide-rollers r and round one or more steam-heated hollow cylinders m composed of copper, or other metal which has been galvanized or rendered rustless, each face of the fabric being successively heated, by which means the moisture is driven through the fabric. The latter, which has thus been partly dried, is then cuttled and left to mature, so that the moisture remaining completes the shrinking. The steam-heated cylinders may be omitted. The rollers a, b and cylinders mare driven by gearing so as not to stretch the fabric. The rollers a, b, which are of wood or metal covered with felt, cotton, or other fabric, dip into troughs d, and rubber-covered or like rollers h remove surplus water from the rollers a, b before they come in contact with the fabric. The rollers a, b are carried in bearings which may be adjusted by screw and Level gears from cross-shafts h<2> or otherwise. The pressure of the rollers i may be varied by means of levers j which are connected to rods k engaging with nuts k, rotated by worms k<2> on a shaft k<3> provided with a hand-wheel. The fabric is fed to the machine around twitch rollers o or a tension or guide roller, and guards p, p<1> prevent it from contacting with the rollers h. If desirable, a small fan or blower may be used to force a current of cold air against the fabric, to cool it, as it travels from the last cylinder m to the cuttle.

Abstract: 19,559. Birkmyre, M. A. Sept. 1. Crops, cut, stacking.-Relates to machines for making cocks of hay, clover, &c. of the type in which a mould capable of being inverted to deposit its contents is mounted on a wheeled frame. The front wheels 12 of the frame 1 drive direct, by means of sprocket-wheels on their axle 11, an elevator 17, consisting of one or more chains having bars 18, Fig. 3, attached. These bars move in guides 23 and carry tines 19 which work with the tines of a second elevator 25, consisting of a band mounted on drams 27 and carrying crossbars 28 moving in guides 30, to raise the hay and deposit it in the mould 5. The mould is mounted on trunnions 4 placed behind its centre line moving in guides 3 and carrying spur-wheels 9 which, gearing with the rack 10, cause the mould 5 to be lowered as it is inverted. Arms 9<a> fixed to the spur-wheels are connected by cords 6 to balance weights 7<a>. When the cock is deposited, the rear parts of the mould, which are hinged to the front part, are opened out to release it. A hinged base 5<a> may be attached to the front part by hinges and to the back parts by a fastening. Ropes 50 placed in the mould are held by clips 49 until the filling is completed and are then attached to a crossshaped frame placed upon the hay. The frame also serves to keep the cock from the ground. A core, consisting of three or more rods loosely connected at one end and separated at the other end by the cross-frame which is pushed between them, may be inserted in the cock to ventilate and support it. At the front of the machine are arranged two rotary rakes, consisting of disks 41 mounted on oblique shafts 38 driven by bevelgearing from the shaft 11 and carrying arms 42. When in the position D, Fig. 7, the arm 42 stands out radially, resting in the recess 46, and as the disk rotates collects the hay from the sides of the machine. When the arm has passed thirty to sixty degrees beyond the lowest point, it engages a lug on the frame 1 of the machine and is lifted out of the recess, falling into a vertical position as at B. Swinging further on its pivot, the arm 42 is raised by one of the stops 45 and at a certain point overbalances, and passing over a slope 44 again enters the recess 46. A ring 47 outside the arms is attached to the disk by the stops 45. The back wheels 12<a> are pivoted on vertical axes to facilitate turning the machine.
