Granted: 1913-08-21
Abstract: 23,366. Topf, L. Oct. 12. Conditioning grain and seeds; damping grain and seeds; germination, assisting; processes of treating grain; ventilating grain and seeds.-A drum for the treatment of granular materials, for instance for soaking, aerating, germinating, or drying grain, malt, seeds, &c., provided with a central air-supply tube, is constructed so as to admit or exclude the atmosphere and to cause the air to pass evenly through the material, and liquid may be admitted directly to the material. To control the air supply the lower part only of the drum is perforated and the effect is increased if the lower part of the tube is made solid. The perforated lower portion may be covered by a casing o, Fig. 4, having doors p which can be closed to exclude the atmosphere. Perforated doors n within the doors p allow discharge of the material, and the charging doors p<1> may have an inner perforated door n so that the solid part of the drum can be rendered permeable. In the form shown in Fig. 5, the drum is made up of pocket-shaped segments b, some of which are fitted with doors q and have a perforated lining r. The effect may be produced by enclosing the upper part of a completely perforated drum in a solid casing and by fitting radial baffles within the tube to confine the supply of air to the upper portion of its surface. If the whole drum is perforated, the air supply may be confined to the lower part of the tube. Solid or perforated, fixed or movable baffles m assist the aeration.

Granted: 1913-12-24
Abstract: 3692. Heindl, R. Feb. 16, 1912, [Convention date]. Actuating by hydraulic motors.-Hydraulic apparatus for delivering water at variable pressure differing from the pressure of the actuating water of the kind described in Specification 4944/11, [Class 69 (ii), Hydraulic presses &c.], has two coupled systems of working pistons, the action of which is variable by mears of auxiliary pistons connected to the working pistons by levers, and is characterized by the arrangement of pairs of valve pistons following the movements of the working pistons, each pair dividing the valve cylinder into three compartments. The Figure shows the main pistons 3 in the cylinders 1 working in conjunction with auxiliary pistons 4 through the levers 9 pivoted at the points 12. The cylinders 1 are arranged behind one another, and the working parts are kept in timed relation by reason of the rods 7 being connected to the same crank-shaft 17, the cranks 16 on which are set at an angle of 90 degrees. The main and auxiliary cylinders 1, 2 are connected by two conduits 5, 6 connecting the tops and bottoms of the cylinders and provided with non-return valves 35, 36 and with suction ports 34. In line with each cylinder 1 is a valve cylinder 18 containing pistons 19, 20 carried by the rod 21 secured to the main piston. The pistons 19, 20 divide the valve cylinder into three chambers 22, 23, 24, the outer chambers being connected by pipes 25. Pressure water is admitted to the chambers 23 by a port 28 and pipe 27 and water at changed pressure is delivered from the chambers 22 by a pipe 26 and port 29. The pressure of the delivered water can be varied by adjusting the blocks 12 in their guides. The valve of one system controls the passage of water to the other system. The pipes 30, 31 lead from the valves to the cylinder 1. In the case where it is desired to deliver water at a lower pressure than the actuating-water, and referring to the apparatus in the position shown in the Figure, water is fed to the top of the left-hand piston 3 from the pipe 27 and right-hand chamber 23. The piston 3 descends, carrying the piston 4 down by means of the lever. Water is expelled from the cylinder 2 through the conduit 5 to the top of the piston 3, the valve 36 being raised by the greater pressure in the cylinder 2. The valve 35 in the conduit 6 admits water without pressure into the upper part of the cylinder 4. As the left-hand piston 3 descends, the left-hand valve pistons allow pressure water to act on the top of the right-hand piston 3. The water below the piston 3 of the left-hand system flows through the pipe 30 to the pipes 25, 26 and to the delivery port 29.

Abstract: 14,129. Armstrong, Whitworth, & Co., Sir W. G., and Murray, C. H. June 18. Fluid - pressure apparatus. - Comprises means for automatically controlling the speed of hydraulic lifting - apparatus during lifting and lowering. The end of the tail rope usually connected to a fixed point on the hydraulic cylinder c is connected to an adjustable rod a so that the tension is communicated through a lever b to the spindle d of a choke valve e<1>. When lowering the unloaded rope or chain, a spring f maintains the valve e<1> in such a position that the exit opening e<2> for the water is fully open, thus permitting rapid lowering. When raising or lowering a load, the additional tension in the tail rope moves the valve until the opening e<2> is reduced sufficiently to permit the load to be raised or lowered at the maximum safe speed. When raising the unloaded rope, the speed is limited by a second valve g which is operated by the inrush of water so as partly to close the opening e<2>.
