Abstract: 502,939. Impact pulverizers. SEBESTYEN, L. VON. Aug. 9, 1938, No. 23438. [Class 59] In an impact pulverizer the hammers pass between an adjustable gap between a twopart table or tables arranged at right-angles to the plane of rotation of the hammers and on which the material rests, the tables being adapted to move apart against resilient means to allow the broken material to pass therethrough. As shown the beaters 4 are pivotally mounted on a hub 2 fixed to a rotary shaft 1 provided with a pulley 5 and flywheel 6. The beaters 4 pass between impact plates 11, 12 mounted in the casing and which move laterally against the pressure of springs 16, 17 when material bridging the gap is struck by the hammers. When beaters are pivoted on the hub the plates between the rows may pivot intermediate the ends and are controlled by springs in the lateral direction. The intermediate plates may also be arranged to slide laterally against the pressure of springs.

Abstract: 783,414. Decking apparatus for pit cages. COAL INDUSTRY (PATENTS), Ltd. Aug. 23, 1954 [Aug. 27, 1953], No. 23700/53. Class 78 (4). In the winding installation illustrated a loaded container A2, Fig. 2, is pushed out of a mine cage A at the top of a shaft on to an unloading platform D3 by an empty container A1 which is pushed from a platform D4, on which it has been unloaded, into the cage. The cage A is then lowered so that the empty container A1 may be pushed on to the loading platform L3, Fig. 6, by a container A3 which has been filled on the loading platform L4. This sequence continues with the platforms D3, D4, and L3, L4 being used alternately. Similar provision is made for loading and unloading containers B1, B2, B3 by a second cage B. The containers are moved over rollers 12 into and out the cages by rams R1 ... R8. These serve both to push containers into the cage and to pull on to the loading and unloading platforms containers which have been pushed partly out of a cage by an entering container. For this purpose levers 58, Fig. 8, pivoted at 59 to the heads of the rams carry catches 60 for engaging portions 61 of the containers when wheels 63 carried by the levers 58 engage the lower portion 64 of ram tracks 64, 66, 65. The containers may be constructed as described in Specification 720,373, and may be unloaded when on the platform D1 ... D4 by supporting the containers above tilting platforms 24, Fig. 3 (not shown), which are lowered to allow the bottom of the container to hinge downwardly. While the containers are on the platforms L1 ... L4 they may be loaded by a feeder started automatically when the container is laid in position on the platform and stopped by weighing means on the platform. The rams for moving the containers, keps for supporting the cages, safety catches for preventing the containers from entering and leaving the cages, and a signal to the banksman, may be operated automatically with safety interlocks; a suitable system employing electric switches, solenoid operated valves, and hydraulic piston and cylinder devices is outlined in the Specification. Fig. 30 (not shown), shows a wholly hydraulic device for controlling the keps. Each cage may accommodate a group of two or more containers. The rams are arranged so that they may be withdrawn beyond their usual strokes to permit access to the cages and to permit reserve containers A4, D4, Fig. 2, to be brought into service.
Patent GB-237300-A (GB)
Abstract: 237,300. Jones, T. H. Jan. 21, 1924. Circular machines ; straight. - bar machines ; warp machines. - Apparatus for plating by yamcarriers moving simultaneously in opposite directions is controlled by a pattern mechanism which enables varied patterns, including horizontal stripes, to be made by plating on any one or more needles in any course at will. The invention is described in connection with a machine with latch needles carried by a rotary cylinder and with pattern rings for operating the yarncarriers 6, 7 similar to those described in Specification 3528/10. The carrier 7 is pivoted at 7a to a bracket 2 and at 7b to a sliding spring-urged plunger 3 while the carrier 6 is pivoted at 6a to the bracket and is also pivoted to the plunger, the foot of which bears on a rotary pattern ring 8 having the contour shown at 10. The foot may be sufficiently large to be operated also by another similar ring 9. The arrangement is such that a vertical movement of the plunger in either direction raises one carrier and simultaneusly depresses the other, causing the yarns to be exchanged, so that what was the ground yarn becomes the plating yarn, until the positions are again reversed. By varying the contours of the rings 8, 9 and the speed, relative to the needles, at which they travel, various effects such as vertical and diagonal stripes, squares and diamonds can be obtained. The rings may be replaced by cams or pattern chains. If the plunger 3 is moved to a position in which the carriers 6, 7 are horizontal. a random or uncertain plated pattern is obtained. To provide a pattern in which there are unicoloured bands extending completely around or across the fabric. one of the carriers may be held stationary by means of a ring 11 carrying a cam which can be pushed under the projection 4 on the spindle 3 at. intervals determined by pattern mechanism. The rings 8, 9 or a similar additional ring may be utilized for producing tuck-work. When the invention is applied to machines with rotary needle cams, a single ring reciprocated by a crank arm is employed.
