Abstract: 1535576 Changing jib length on tower cranes LINDEN-ALIMAK AB 29 Oct 1976 [29 Oct 1975] 45154/76 Headings B8H and B8B A carrying cradle having the form of a threearmed lever frame 2, 3, 4 with a counterweight 1 is used in a method of mounting or dismounting jib sections on a tower crane (8), Fig. 5 (not shown). The arm 4 has lifting lugs 7 and the arms 2, 3 are hinged to the arm 4, being stayed in position by ropes 5, 6. When lifted by the crane trolley, Fig. 8, the counterweight 1 holds arm 2 substantially vertical so that the end of arm 4 can be positioned high enough for a loop 30 to be coupled between the arm 4 and the jib section to be dismounted. Continued raising of the cradle brings arm 3 into contact with the jib where it is rotatably attached by a loop (31), Fig. 9 (not shown). Further raising of the cradle causes it to pivot about the end of arm 3 and take the weight of the section to be removed. The section can now be detached from the rest of the jib and lowered to the ground after loop 31 has been removed. During this lowering action the cradle assumes a balanced position with the section above the level of the counterweight 1 so that the counterweight 1 reaches the ground first, the cradle then pivoting about the counterweight to deposit the section on the ground, Figs. 11, 12 (not shown). Jib sections may be added to the jib by effectively reversing the above steps.

Abstract: 456,494. Furnace grates. KRUPP AKT.-GES., F., Essen, Germany. March 18, 1936, No. 8102. Convention date, April 15, 1935. [Class 51 (i)] A mechanically stoked furnace grate, more particularly for locomotives, comprises an ignition grate 2, a mechanically driven main grate 3 and a fuel mixing device operating periodically to transfer the ignited uppermost layer of the fuel bed on the ignition grate into the lower part of the said bed. The mixing device comprises a reciprocating plunger 16 which also serves to feed fuel from a hopper 11 to the grate which is in three parts, an upwardly inclined part constituting the ignition grate 2, a downwardly inclined main grate 3 and a supplemental grate 4 at a lower level. The main grate is reciprocated from the piston rod 17 which actuates the plunger. Dampers 6, 7 and 8 regulate the air supply to the ashpit. On the backward strokes of the plunger the upper ignited fuel layer 23 descends as shown by the arrows x and y, Fig. 2, to the lower part of the ignition bed. During the forward strokers of the plunger these lower layers are moved up the grate 2 and on to the main grate 3. The reciprocating movement of the grate 3 feeds the fuel to the grate 4.

Abstract: 1,013,610. Centrifugal pulverizers. BATH IRON WORKS CORPORATION. Nov. 10, 1964, No. 45698/64. Heading B2A. An impeller bowl 60 for a centrifugal pulverizer, which includes a higher speed rotatable impeller 40 to project particles against the lower speed rotatable bowl, comprises a circumferential, vertical wall 34, and means for forming a continuous bed of packed particles of ground material inside the wall. The bowl 60 comprises an annular recess 38 in the floor 61 immediately adjacent the wall 34 with angle members 51, preferably of steel, positioned edgewise in the recess 38 in abutting relation to form an impactor ring 50 of radial pockets 54, and means comprising a horizontal portion 63 of an upper bowl-section 62 to clamp the angle members in abutting relation. The upper section 62 also comprises an upwardly and outwardly inclined lip 64, and each angle memberis positioned and clamped to have one leg 53 adjacent the circumferential wall of the bowl and the other leg 52 extending radially inward to the centre axis of the bowl. Clamping of the angle members is effected solely by the horizontal portion 63 of the upper section 62. In operation, particles of material ejected by rotary impeller vanes 44 strike the angle members and are retained in the pockets 54, formed by the angle members 51, due to centrifugal force established by rotation of the bowl on a spindle 27, until the pockets are filled with particles and are thus protected by the layer of particles formed thereon. The impeller is rotated at 2200-3600 r.p.m. and the bowl is rotated in the opposite direction at 300-450 r.p.m. The lip 64 has an angle of inclination of 33 degrees to the housing 20 of the pulverizer. Specification 1,004,750 is referred to.

A mass-flow liquid meter, comprises a first rotor mounted within a liquid flow conduit for rotation by the flowing liquid having helical passageways therethrough, a second rotor mounted coaxially with the first rotor and downstream thereof for rotation by the liquid leaving the first rotor having passages parallel with the conduit axis, means applying a restraining torque to the first rotor proportional to the angular velocity of the first rotor and pick-offs associated with both rotors, with each generating an electrical signal dependent upon the angular velocity of its associated rotor. As shown in Fig. 1, a first rotor 3 has helical blades 4 and a second downstream rotor 5, blades 6 parallel to the axis of the conduit 1. Torque-restraining means comprise an eddybrake 13 fitted to the rotor 1. Electro-magnetic pick-offs 14, 15 associated with the rotors 3, 5 respectively generate electrical signals having a frequency proportional to the angular velocities of the respective rotors so that massflow rate is proportional to the ratio of the rotor velocities. A further rotor 16, Fig. 2, having helical pitch opposite to the pitch of the blades 4 may be fitted upstream of the rotor 3 with a flow straightener 22 therebetween. In this case, the eddy-current brake 13 is associated with the rotor 16, and, it is stated the restraining torque is twice the previous restraining torque. The flow straightener 22 may be removed and the brake 13 disposed between the rotors 3 and 16. In a modification, bimetallic disc springs 44, Fig. 4, and disc springs 45 abut either side of a magnetic disc 43 to vary the magnetic flux in a ring magnet 38 to render the eddy-current brake independent of temperature.

If desired, a concentrated premix, for further dilution with feedstuff and/or extender, may be prepared. Specified salts of the antibiotic are alkali metal (e.g. sodium and potassium), alkaline earth metal (e.g. calcium) and organic salts. Typical carrier materials are commercial poultry feeds, ground cereal grains, grain byproducts, plant protein concentrates (e.g. from soy or peanuts), fermentation byproducts, salt, limestone or mixtures thereof. Liquid dispersions can be prepared by using water or vegetable oil preferably including a surface active agent such as ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid and solubilizers. Other additives which may be present in typical poultry feeds are stabilized fats, animal protein (e.g. fish meal, fish solubles or meat scraps), B-vitamin carriers (including dried milk products), other vitamins, calcium and phosphorous supplements, iodized salt, manganese sulphate, zinc carbonate, methionine or its hydroxy analogue and an antioxidant.
