Title: Improvements in Hand Pumps.
Inventor: BARNETT SAMUEL
Filed: 1909-03-03
Granted: 1910-03-03
Abstract: 5124. Barnett, S. March 3. Screw-actuated hand-pumps.-In test pumps arranged for a large delivery at low pressure or a small delivery at high pressure, the ordinary piston-rod is enclosed in a supplementary rod, which is operated by screw gearing or toggle-gearing for obtaining high pressures. The pumps may be used for inflating tyres, or for supplying liquid to rams employed in breaking-down coal in coal mines &c. In the pump shown in Fig. 3, the piston c has a primary rod d and a hollow supplementary rod f, the latter being advanced slowly and exerting great pressure by means of its screw action in the nut h The piston is first actuated rapidly by hand through the rod d until the pressure is large enough to necessitate the screw-actuation. A ball bearing m is provided between the rod f and the piston to prevent rotation of the latter : the lift of the pump discharge valve q is controlled by a plug q<1>, and a relief valve is provided. In the place of two handles such as g, k, one only need be used, provision being made for suitably coupling the two rods. In the modification shown in Fig. 7, the rod d is coupled to the rod f by pins, and the rod f is actuated by a set of toggle levers s, s<1> attached to a fixed frame s<2> and a hand-lever.

Abstract: 11,128. Moritz, R. Oct. 26, 1908, [Convention date]. Sulphuric acid.-To support the walls of the chambers, the continuous lead connexions soldered to them are suspended. from the roof instead of the walls of the surrounding structure. The connexions are bolted between angle or bar irons, or are soldered round a length of round bar-iron, which is suspended by hooks or U-brackets carried by double angle-irons 2 running all round the roof. The lower ends of these bars are taken up by a hook 7<a> carried by an angle-iron 7 secured to the rim of the pan of the chamber, and, in cases where there are great variations of pressure in the chambers, a spring 8, Fig. 6, is provided to allow a certain amount of movement to the hook. The roof may also be supported by continuous lead connexions rurining at right-angles to the axis of curvature of the chamber, but, in the present construction, they are clamped between curved bars 12 suspended by iron wires 13 carried by the trusses of the framework, or embedded in it if it is of reinforced concrete. The edge of the pan is supported by sheet metal 8<a>, Fig. 6, perforated or not, so as to assist cooling, and the bottom angle is rounded off. Cooling is also assisted by making openings 9 in the floor 11 so that an air-current is induced to play on the edge of the pan. These constructions may be applied to Glover and Gay-Lussac towers. The Specification in the original form, as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a), comprises also a construction in which the lead connexions of the ceiling are clamped between angle-irons, or soldered to round iron bars; this subjectmatter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Abstract: 13,722. Zimmer, G. F., and Johnson, A. E. June 11. Jigging conveyers. - Rotates to a revolving and reciprocating screen which acts also as a conveyer, especially suitable for screening road metal and ores from a stone-breaker. The cylindrical screen 1, Fig. 1, is supported on a frame 2 composed of angle-irons carried on spring- legs 3, which are bolted to upper and lower brackets 4 on the angle-irons and on a suitable foundation, respectively. Castings 5 attached to the angle-irons carry antifriction rollers which engage with V-shaped rings on the outside of the screen. The frame is reciprocated by means of a crank-shaft 9 and two connecting-rods 11, one on each side of the frame. The screened material falls through the frame, or the frame may be a conveyer trough which delivers the screened material where required. The screen may be rotated by means of an electric motor 13, Fig. 5, which drives a shaft carrying a worm 17 gearing with a wheel 18 on the sereen. Or the worm-shaft may be intermittently rotated by means of a ratchet-wheel 20, Fig. 6, engaging a rack 21 pivoted at 22 to a suitable support. The screen may be balanced by making the frame in two portions and operating them by connecting-rods attached to opposite cranks on the driving-shaft; or the two portions of the screen may be connected by a drag link. The screen may be supported by and rotated from an overhead shaft, the connecting-rod being attached to a spider inside the screen or to an external ring. The boss of the spider is provided with races containing balls 29, Fig. 8, against which plates 30 with similar races are pressed by volute springs 31 adjustable by nuts 32. The reciprocating frame may be supported on levers 33, Fig. 13, which are pivoted at 34 to brackets 35 and are curved at the top so as to give the necessary upward movement on the forward stroke. Bearing-pieces 36 are attached to the underside of the frame or trough 2, and the levers are connected to the frame by links ; or the links may be dispensed with and the levers provided with pins to engage teeth on the underside of the pieces 36. In other modifications, the levers are prevented from leaving the trough or frame by lugs at each end of the bearing- pieces. When a polygonal screen is used, it may be intermittently revolved by means of a fast-running pinion 42, Fig. 23, mounted on a slowly-revolving lever 43 so as to come into gear with a spur-wheel 49 on the screen at intervals.

Granted: 1911-02-09
Abstract: 7690. McAnulty, J. A., and McAnulty, F. D. March 30. Capsules, applying. - Relates to a machine for applying crimped caps to bottles of varying lengths with uniform results. The caps are applied by force developed by the dead weight of a plunger which carries the capping device. The plunger descends under gravity but its descent is so controlled that it moves slowly and at a uniform speed and so performs the same work at whatever point in the path of the capping-device the bottle is encountered, the height of the bottle is therefore immaterial, The plunger 3, Fig. 1, carries the capping-device 5, and is guided by friction rollers 4. It is raised by a cam 8; and its descent is controlled either by the shape of the cam, or by a rack, Fig. 3, carried by the plunger and engaging a pinion 13 formed with internal ratchet teeth engaged by a pawl 14; or the descent may be controlled by a dash-pot. In the case of the rack and pinion, the pawl prevents the pinion from racing during the descent of the plunger, but allows it to run freely while the plunger is raised. The action of the machine is made intermittent by a treadle-operated clutch.
