Title: Apparatus for Crushing, Dividing or Disintegrating Ores and other Substances
Inventor: HARDINGE HARRY WILLIAMS
Filed: 1907-06-01
Granted: 1907-10-31
Abstract: 12,719. Hardinge, H. W. June 1. Ball mills.-Apparatus for crushing ores &c. consists of an open-ended tumbling barrel or drum formed by placing two hollow cones base to base, with or without an intervening cylindrical portion, and capable of being tilted on its axis of rotation so as to regulate the duration of grinding and the size of the disintegrated particles. The barrel 1, Figs. 1 and 2, is rotated on grooved rollers 9, 10 by means of a pinion 4 mounted on a shaft driven by bevel-gearing from the driving-shaft 7 and gearing with a rack 3 on the drum, side rollers 12 preventing any endlong movement. The barrel is mounted in a frame 13 suspended at one end on the shaft 7 and at the other end by a trunnion 14 carrying a wheel 15 gearing with a worm 16 which can be turned by a handle 17. The material is introduced at the higher end of the barrel and discharged from its lower end, and balls or pebbles may assist the disintegration. The barrel has internal longitudinal flanges or ribs formed by angle, T, or I irons 18, between which pieces of the material or the crushing - balls &c. become wedged, thus forming a protective lining to the drum. Fig. 6 shows two cones 21, 22 of different pitch carried by a cradle 23 arranged to be tilted on trunnions 24, and the cone 21 at the inlet end of the barrel having the greater pitch. Or two hollow cones may be arranged base to base in an outer cylindrical casing; or a single cone may extend the whole length of the casing.

Title: Improvements in Folding Bedsteads.
Inventor: WOLZENDORFF CARL
Filed: 1907-07-13
Granted: 1908-04-30
Abstract: 16,163. Wolzendorff, C. July 13. Bedsteads.-The side and end frames of a folding bedstead can be adjusted by means of sleeves, so as to alter their width and length. Each end post a, Fig. 5, is bent to form two parallel guideparts, and terminates in a hook a<1>. Sleeves c, b connect the parallel parts to a cross-bar d. The frame e<1> of a screen e is connected at the top by the sleeves b to the main frame, and at the bottom by sleeves f to rods g fixed. to the end posts. When the end frame is extended, these sleeves slide along the guides, the motion being limited by the hooks. The side frames, Fig. 2, are connected to pivots i on the end posts a by easily disconnectible fastenings k, and consist of pairs of frames hinged together by means of sleeves m sliding on parallel guides. The side bars r have extensible parts r<1>, r<2> and are pivotably connected by angle-pieces r<3> to the end posts. The bed bottom is constructed of telescopic slats n, Fig. 1, with slidable connexions o at their ends, and cross-bars p<8> having relatively movable parts. The bedstead can be folded up by unhooking the fastenings k, and turning the sides and ends inwards.

Title: Automatic Mail Boxes.
Inventor: LARSON OSCAR A
Filed: 1907-09-10
Granted: 1908-02-20
Abstract: 20,164. Larson, O. A. Sept. 10. Mechanical dispatch apparatus.-An automatic carrier adapted for transmitting mails for a short distance consists of a travelling box 9 which runs on wires 5, 6. The box, which is divided by a partition 10, is supported by means of two pairs of rollers mounted on side brackets 13, 19. Fixed to the upper roller 21 is a pinion 27, to which rotation can be communicated from a shaft 22, through a train of wheels 23, 28, 26. The shaft 22 can be shifted longitudinally, and carries a second bevelwheel 24, by means of which the rotation of the roller can be reversed through the gearing 31, 31<1>, 34, 35. An angular sleeve 36 engages with an angular part of the shaft 22, and a coil spring 38, one end of which is fixed externally, is secured to the sleeve. The spring is energized by turning a shaft, and on being released rotates the shaft 22 and thereby the roller 21, thus propelling the carrier. A dog 41 placed at one end of the track stops rotation of the gear at the required place.

Title: Improvements in Devices for Smoothing Paper and other Material, in Printing and other Machines.
Inventor: LOCK WILLIAM HENRY
Filed: 1908-05-27
Granted: 1909-05-27
Abstract: 11,504. Lock, W. H., and North, C., and Hewitt, H. M., [executors of North, T. M.]. May 27. Feeding sheets ; feeding apparatus for webs.-A device for smoothing paper and other material in a printing or other machine, of the kind in which brushes of sectional or other kind are caused to be moved on to and away from the moving paper with the brush perpendicular to the direction of motion, is constructed so that the brush is arranged at an angle to the direction of motion of the paper and is adapted to exert its smoothing action symmetrically in outward directions in relation to the fore and aft central line of the paper. In one form, two separate brushes 1, Figs. 1 and 3, are arranged at an angle to each other, and each brush is connected to a cam-operated shaft 5, which is moved to and from the impression cylinder of a rotary or cylinder printing-machine. The brushes smooth the paper gradually, and they are adjustable to suit different widths of paper. For this purpose the brushes are of flexible construction, and are capable of being turned up at those parts beyond which it is desired to smooth the paper. The brush 1 is attached to a fixed arm 6, and to a split arm 7 by means of a shoe 13 which is angularly adjustable relatively to a pin 9, Fig. 5, on the arm 7, which is longitudinally adjustable on the arm 5 and is secured in a position corresponding to the outside of the paper by means of a clamping-screw 12. The portion of the brush beyond the arm 7 is bent out of the plane of the paper by setting an arm 8 to a suitable angle after clamping the arm 7, as is shown in Fig. 3. In a modification, Fig. 7, telescopic brushes 17 are used to vary the width of the device, and screws 19 secure these in the desired position relatively to fixed brushes 16. In a further modification, two pivoted brushes are used, and the width of the smoother is adjusttd by varying the angles of the brushes. A circular guide, concentric with the impression cylinder, guides the brushes and permits them to be clamped in position. The two sets of brushes may be replaced by a single brush permanently or adjustably bent at the middle, the brush being of flexible or rigid construction.

Abstract: 11,138. H³ttenbach, A., [Heim, J.]. May 11. Variable speed epicyclic gearing. - Relates to change-speed and reversing gearing of the class in which a non-revoluble member forms a rolling surface for a compound planetary member radially arranged in a wheel to be driven. This wheel 6, Fig. 1, fast on the driven shaft 2, carries sets of stepped planet gears 7, 8, 9, which rotate together upon radial studs 10. Toothed or friction gearing may be used. A gear-disk 11, fast on the driving- shaft 1, constantly keeps the sets of gears 7, 8, 9 revolving about the studs 10. Non-revoluble geardisks 12, 13, 14 are capable of being advanced singly to form rolling-surfaces for the gears 7, 8, and 9, respectively, resulting in the wheel 6 and the shaft 2 being driven at different speeds in the direction of motion of the shaft 1. These disks 12, 13, 14 have hubs 15, 17, 19 nested upon a fixed-sleeve 5, and normally held out of action by springs 18 &c. Pins 21 project from the sleeve 5 through slots in the hubs 15, 17, 19 and keep the parts from turning. Means for advancing the disks 12, 13, 14 comprises pairs of outwardly-projecting lugs 25, 26, 27, Fig. 3, set upon different diameters. These lugs have inclined ends adapted to be engaged and thrust inwards by an operating- lever 23 and its extension 24, which pivot about the axis of the shaft 2. Idle wheels 33 are provided for reversing, in mesh with gears 29, 30 on the wheel 6 and disk 11, respectively. The idlers 33 are carried by a loose drum 31, which is clamped by a brake 34 when reversed driving is required.

Figs. 1 and 4 show side and sectional end views of the collector, and Fig. 9 a sectional view of the hand control device. The composite collecting- wheel 33 is carried in the harp 27 mounted on the part 6, so as to be capable of a limited lateral movement against the spring 17. The part 6 is carried in turn by the member 3, and is capable of vertical movement against a spring S, which normally keeps the wheel 33 pressed down on to the third rail A. The member 3 is carried from the car on an horizontal longitudinal pivot 11 and is free to oscillate laterally against springs acting on the lugs 9. The current passes from the wheel 33 through springs 31 and the cable 47 to the car motors. Secured to the spindle 8 is an arm 2 connected by a chain to a drum 60, Fig. 9, by means of which the motor-man can regulate the elevation of the collector.
