Abstract: 3698. Giesecke, C. Feb. 15. Ball mills; reducing ores ; wet grinding.-In a process of dressing the ores of noble metals, particularly those containing gold and silver, the ores are ground in ball mills with about 33 1/3 per cent of water to a thick paste or slime, which is afterwards mixed with from 500-1000 per cent of water and converted into a thin pulp, which is conveyed, either directly or after classification on spitzkasten, to the lixiviation plant. The ball mill comprises two grinding-chambers 4, 7 charged with steel balls, and a chamber 10 in which the thick slime is mixed with water supplied by a pipe 12. The chambers 4, 7 are separated by a double wall 5, 6, the wall 5 having orifices towards its periphery, and the wall 6 at its centre. The ore is fed from a hopper 1 by a rotating plate 2 ; and the chamber 4 is of greater diameter but shorter than the chamber 7. The perforated end wall 8 has a funnel-shaped portion 11, and the chamber 10 a collar-like extension 13, from which the pulp passes into the channel 14. The chamber 10 is of larger diameter than the adjacent grinding- drum 7, and may be provided with internal ribs 16.

Abstract: 3851. Reinhard, V. Feb. 15. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Plug cocks. - The inlet or exhaust valve a of an internal - combustion engine is loose on its spindle d and is h e l d against its seating w, when the pressure in the engine cylinder is below atmospheric, by a wedge i arranged between the valve and its spindle. The wedge is carried by a piston l, which is forced downwards by a spring and by the reduction of pressure in the cylinder. When the pressure in the engine cylinder exceeds atmospheric, the valve a is held against its seating w by such pressure. Leakage past the piston l is prevented by packing n and by the piston seating against the cover m. The spindle has a conical seating to prevent leakage. In a modification, the piston l and wedge i are carried on a rod passing axially down through the hollow valve spindle and drawn downwards by a spring.

Abstract: 12,914. Fry, R. J. May 29. Angular bending; bending dies and formers; forging - dies; punches; stamping. -- A ploughshare is made from sheet metal by bending or curving one side of a heated shaped blank to form partly the land side, shaping the wing parts between dies, and pressing the projecting portion against the face of one of the dies to complete the land side. The heated blank 27, Fig. 10, is first bent into the form shown in Fig. 11, by placing it between the dies 17, 18, Figs. 2 and 3, which may be angled or curved, with one end resting on the pin 21, and then reciprocating the slide 14 which is connected by a staple 20 to the die 17. The slide-operating lever 11, which is oscillated in a slot 15 in the slide by a link 10 and eccentric 9 from a shaft driven from the shaft 3 by spur gear, does not move the slide 14 except when a wedge 36 is inserted in one or other side of the slot according to whether the die 17 or the die 22 is to be put in operation. After the blank is removed from the dies 17, 18 it is placed against gauge stops 29, Fig. 7, on the die 23, and the wing part is shaped by an upper die 30 pressed down by a cam lever 31 on a spindle 33, which is connected to a shaft 6 by links 34, and is operated by a lever 32. The slide 14 is then reciprocated so that in one or more strokes the die 22 forces the projecting portion of the blank against the die 23 to complete the land side the metal at the angle formed by the wing and land side being thickened in the operation. A projection 28 at one side of the die 22 engages a cut-away portion 24 in the die 23 so as to form the lip 25, Fig. 12. The socket portion is completed either by a bending-punch passing through a hole in the die 30 to form the portion 40 or in a separate machine or by riveting a similarly-shaped portion to the blade 27. The lever 32 is then retracted and the die 30 lifted by a handle 35. The cutting-edge of the blade is then swaged between inclined dies, which may replace either pair of dies shown, or may be fitted in another machine.
