Rotary filters.-In apparatus for treating ore pulp, filter elements 17 arranged in parallel planes are supported by pipes 18 which are bolted by flanges to a disk 3. The disk is attached to a boss 1 rotating in bearings 4. As the elements pass through pulp in the compartment 24, Fig. 5, the liquid is drawn through the elements, and through radial pipes 14, each of which is connected with a longitudinal passage 8 in the boss 1. These passages engage with an arc - shaped aperture on the face of a fixed cap 6, the aperture opening into a chamber 13 within the cap which is connected to a vacuum. There are also apertures in the cap through which air, steam, or water is admitted through ports 9 to the passages 8 so as to locate leakage or discharge the cake from each filter element when in course of rotation it reaches the highest point. The filter elements 17 are of the shape shown in Fig. 11 and comprise perforated pipe frames, fluted boards 43, and a canvas or like covering. As shown in Fig. 5, the solid matter discharged from the elements may be directed by an apron 35 on to a belt 19, which is set in motion by the weight of the material. There are sight-glasses 33 on the pipes 14. The cap 6 is held up against the boss 1 by tension bolts with buffer springs. A series of filtering-wheels of this sort are mounted on a single shaft to rotate in alternate compartments of a tank in which the pulp is successively treated with solutions of various strengths, or with wash-water. The alternate compartments are fitted with agitators which secure a circulation of the pulp through perforated partitions, separating each agitating-compartment from the adjacent filtering-compartment.

Title: Improved Gun Carriage.
Inventor: BASTON ANDREW
IPC: F41A25/00
Filed: 1911-03-09
Granted: 1912-03-11
Abstract: 5899. Baston, A. March 9. Field carriages; recoil apparatus.-Relates to carriages for heavy high-angle fire guns, in which the elevation of the gun is automatically decreased, during the recoil, by rollers on the gun striking guides on the carriage. The invention consists (1) in pivoting guide-rails, at their rear ends, to the cheeks of the carriage, and in connecting the forward ends of the rails to pins guided in cam-slots in the elevating-arcs, so that the inclination of the guides is varied as the gun is elevated; and (2) in providing in conjunction therewith (a) means for disconnecting the cradle from the elevating-arcs, operable both automatically during the recoil, and by hand, (b) a ratchet-pinion gear for retaining the gun at the reduced elevation during the run-out, and (c) a bolt, released by the firing-lever of the gun, for supporting the gun in the cradle, at high elevations, until the moment of firing. The gun A is shown in Fig. 1 in the firing position and pointing vertically. When the gun is fired, a pin T thereon rocks a tumbler T', pivoted to the cradle at T<2>, and through the link H<3> rocks a lever H about the pivot H<1>, which lever H, through the pin-and-slot connexion G<2>, G<3>, withdraws the bolt G<1> and thereby disconnects the cradle B from the elevating-arc F. The lever H extends beneath the gun and withdraws also a similar bolt G<1> on the remote side of the cradle. When, therefore, rollers L on the gun engage the adjustable guide-rails Q, which are pivoted at P to the carriage cheeks S<1> and are supported at their front ends by pins K<2> engaged in cam-slots K' in the elevating-arcs, the gun and cradle are swung about the trunnions K, and the elevation is diminished. The ratchet gear for retaining the gun at the new elevation, so that it may be run-out by springs of ordinary strength, comprises a ratchet-wheel D<1> on a shaft D, at the ends of which shaft pinions D<2> gearing with the arcs F are mounted. The pawl C<1> is moved into engagement with the ratchet teeth by a longitudinal rod E, which is driven rearwards by a spring E<2> when the barrel lug J<1> frees the rear end of the rod during the recoil. The weight of the gun is normally taken off the run-out springs by a bolt N<2> which engages with a projection N<4> on the cradle. The bolt has a pin-and-slot connexion N<3> with the firing-lever N, and a spring catch M prevents the return of the lever N and bolt N<2> when the bolt is withdrawn. A hand - lever J<2>, arranged as shown, enables the bolts G' to be withdrawn by hand. Specifications 1121/85, 22,694/96, 18,737/08, and 19,132/08, are referred to by way of disclaimer.

Abstract: 8261. Burroughs Adding Machine Co., and Terry, G. April 4. Adding-apparatus for avoirdupois weights; transfer mechanism.-A Burroughs machine adapted to compute avoirdupois weights is provided with an arrangement whereby the carrying to the wheel of lower denomination is effected by the normal or upward carrying movement of a transfer pawl; such carrying operation is necessary, as described in Specification 24,565/11, when, after the registration of ' 2 ' on the tens of pounds wheel, (1) ' 8 ' is to be registered on the units of pounds wheel or, (2) ' 1 ' is to be added to the tens of pounds wheel. (1) When ' 2 ' appears on the tens wheel, a pin D<2> thereon engages the end of a bell-crank lever D' and raises the other arm D to engage a cross-head B<2> on an arm of a shaft B. Depression of the ' 8 ' key in the units denomination in a similar manner raises an arm C to rock the cross-head B<2> and with it the shaft B sufficiently to cause a finger A to engage a stud E<3> on the pawl 413<a>, thus disengaging it from a stud on the rack to allow the rack to effect a carrying-on to its corresponding wheel to the extent of two units. (2) In the second instance adding ' 1 ' to the tens denominations will rock the pawl 413<c> and, by means of a projecting pin F<1> thereon which engages a similar pin E' on the pawl 413<a>, will rock the latter pawl to allow a carrying-on to the units wheel. If nineteen units have been registered and it is desired to add another nine, the rock-shaft B and finger A will clear the units wheel to zero, and a device similar to that described in Specification 24,565/11 may be employed to effect a double carrying-movement on to the tens wheel, so as to bring it to the zero position and add one to the next higher wheel.
