Patent GB-190629342-A (GB)
Title: Improvements relating to Carding Engines.
Filed: 1906-12-24
Granted: 1907-04-04
Abstract: 29,342. Hetherington & Sons, J., and Snape, T. H. Dec. 24. Carding-engines.-The object is to prevent the front cover of the main cylinder from being opened before the main-cylinder has come to a dead stop, and to prevent the belt from being moved on to the fast pulley to start the carding-engine until the cover is closed. The opening of the cover 2 operates an axially-movable stud 13 by means of a lever 4, slide bar 7, and lever 12. The stud is mounted opposite to a hole in the side of a band-pulley 15 which is combined with the ordinary fast pulley 16, and can only move axially hence the cover can only be opened when the band pulley is at rest to receive the stud. An arm 18 fixed to the beltfork shaft 9 engages a projection 19 on the slide bar 7, and prevents the opening of the cover while the driving-belt is on the fast pulley, and the projection 19, by impeding the arm 18, prevents the belt from being shifted on to the fast pulley when the cover is open. The axial movement of the stud may be effected by a pin 20, Fig. 2, fixed in the sleeve 14 and engaging a screw-thread oh the stud, or by a rack and pinion, or a wedge ; the stud-and-hole lock may be replaced by a catch and teeth, or notches, or other suitable device. The bar 7 is constructed in two parts held together by a spring bolt 21. When it is desired to rotate the main cylinder by hand for grinding purposes, the two parts of the slide bar 7 are disconnected so that its ends may be operated separately.

Abstract: 2304. Mackrill, A. E. Jan. 30. Stopping tubes.-A stopper for damaged boiler tubes comprises two conical metal plugs A, A' held by eye-bolts C<1>, C<3>, connected by a steel rope, chain, or pliable rod C. The plug A<1> has a threaded hole to engage the eye-bolt C<2> and the plug A is bored axially to slide along the bolt C<1>. To place the stopper in the damaged tube B, a rod or tube D, preferably having a pulley D' carrying a wire rope E with a weight E<1> at the end, is pushed through the damaged tube. The weight E<1> draws the wire rope down at the back of the furnace, and it is pulled to the front of the boiler by a crook. The eye-bolt C', with the connexions C and plug A<1> attached, is next screwed to the weight E<1> and the stopper drawn into the tube B. The plug A is then passed over the eye-bolt C' and firmly fixed by a nut J.

Title: Improvements in Counting or Registering Mechanism.
Inventor: GILLET SAMUEL WALKEY
Filed: 1907-08-20
Granted: 1908-08-20
Abstract: 18,743. Gillett, S. W., [International Postal Supply Co.]. Aug. 20. Counting - apparatus. - Relates to the general arrangement of and zeroizing-mechanism for apparatus adapted to be actuated at the lowest denomination only. The casing, Fig. 1, is of an inverted U shape in section, with end plates, providing bearings for the main counter spindle and other spindles, which are connected by tie-bars 24. Fig. 8 shows the numeral wheels, each composed of parallel plates 8 upon a hub 7, flanges near the peripheries of the plates supporting a numeralbearing strip 6 ; also upon the hub is a thin disk 5 with a single tooth - notch at a thickened part, whereby transfer is effected by the usual geneva movement, the compound locking and transfer pinions 26, Fig. 10, being loosely mounted upon the transfer shaft 27 and engaging normally with the transfer-receiving pinion 41 upon each bub. The numeral wheel of the lowest denomination is actuated by means of a stub shaft 50 and the wheels 40, 41. To zeroize the counter, a single rotation is given to the shaft 31 which, by means of cams thereon, effects three operations : (1) the hinged frame 28 which carries the transfer shaft 27 and the pinions thereon is allowed to drop, thereby freeing the numeral wheels from engagement with the transfer parts ; (2) the finger 15 is raised and allows the alining-yoke 19 to come into engagement with the compound geneva pinions, the pin 12 being similarly moved by a spring to lock the actuating- wheel 40 ; (3) subsequently to the numeral wheels reaching the zero position, which movement is caused by their weights 10, Fig. 9, aided if necessary by external rotation of the spindle 21, the fingers 37 are brought into the path of the wheels and lock two pins on each in the zero position, the gap 3 being substituted for the pins in the case of the highest wheel. At the end of the rotation, the spring pawl 35 again snaps into the notch shown and all parts other than the numeral wheels are again in the same position as at the beginning; to allow time for the wheels to turn to zero under the action of their weighted parts, a second notch is provided upon the end plate of the spindle 31, into which the spring pawl drops to retard the rotation as it is again lifted.

Abstract: 16,229. Lockwood, A. A., and Samuel, M. R. A. Jan. 7, [Convention date]. [Addition to 12,962/08.] Treating ores to facilitate concentration.- Relates to the process of treating ores, tailings, concentrates, &c., described in the parent Specification, according to which the ore &c. is mixed with a magnetic or magnetizable substance and a liquid which adheres to some part of the ore in preference to the others, so that the resulting mixture may be separated magnetically, and consists in dispensing with the addition of the magnetic material in the application of the process to ores which, either naturally or as the result of a suitable treatment, contain sufficient magnetic particles. The process is applicable, for example, to a lead-zinc ore in which the blend is associated with magnetic oxide of iron; or to an ore containing iron in a non- magnetic state, such as iron pyrites, after such ore has been roasted to convert the iron into magnetic oxide.
