Abstract: 13,718. Taylor, J. W. June 29. Measured quantities, delivering.-Granular and pulverulent materials are measured by an apparatus in which a detachable and changeable measuring- chamber 4 is provided with inlet and outlet slide valves 7, 8 at the top and bottom. The valves are operated so that the inlet valve is closed before the outlet valve is opened by means of an oscillating lever 10, the free ends of which engage projections on the slides. Springs 7<b>, 8<b> tend to keep the valves closed, while projections on the sides of the slides are arranged to come in contact with the uprights 15 so as to prevent the slides being moved too far out. The lever 10 is provided with a catch 27 which engages and depresses a spring detent 28 ; it is also connected by a spring to the detent bracket so that it tends to open the valve 8. The openings in the neck and spouts of the valve casings are cylindrical at the upper and lower ends but are square in cross - section where the slides enter. The measuring - vessel may have an air outlet 60 and an opening 61 covered by mica &c. To facilitate changing the measuring-vessel, the upper part of the valve casing 50 may be made in halves. A conveyer or second hopper provided with a sieve may be mounted above the apparatus and connected to the hopper 2 by a telescopic joint. The telescopic measuring-vessel described in Specification No. 6269, A.D. 1907, may be employed.

Abstract: 3759. " Perfect " Akt. - Ges. f³r Maschinenbau Basel, and Wenk, W. Feb. 15. Stirrers moving in plane curves; framing. -Relates to kneading- machines in which the arms are operated by link-work &c. in a rotating pan, and consists in a special form of linkwork and in means for rotating the pan and facilitating removal thereof. The kneaders 1, 2 are attached to arms 3 carried on crank-pins 4 on toothed wheels 5 rotating in opposite directions. Each arm 3 is connected by two equal links 10 to a disk 11 carried on two equal rocking arms 12, 13. The pivots by which the links 10 and the arms 12, 13 are attached to the disk 11 may be adjustable radially on the disk. If the adjustment is such that the arms 10 remain parallel during the rotation of the toothed wheels 5, the kneaders move in circular paths, otherwise they move in curved paths such as shown. The pan is mounted on a platform 31 free to rotate in a support 31<a> carried by a truck 30. As the truck is run into position, rollers 62 on the support run on guiding- rails fixed to the machine; and other rollers 64 prevent lateral displacement. The pan is rotated by means of a worm-wheel 32 on the platform which gears with a worm 33 on a shaft operated through chain gearing from one of the toothed wheels 5. The worm 33, Fig. 11, is moved into contact with the wheel by a lever 36 which operates an eccentric engaging a movable box 35 in which one end of the worm-shaft is mounted; the lever is then locked to the truck, The worm-shaft may be driven by belt-gearing from the driving-shaft. Pans of different sizes may be employed. Two methods of securing the kneaders to the arms 3 are described. As shown in Fig. 4, each kneader is shaped so as to slide horizontally into a ribbed groove 50 in the arm, and is tapped to receive a set-screw which is forced against the base of the groove. As shown in Fig. 13, the lever 3 is slotted to receive the kneader, which is brought into proper position by a pin 21 which engages a, groove 22 and a slot 24 entered by a stud 23 on the lever, and is secured by means of a screw 25 which works in a nut 26 having gudgeons 27 with flattened sides to allow the nut to be placed in position.
