Title: Improvements relating to Vacuum Drum Filters for Separating Solid Substances from Liquids.
Inventor: HENCKE HEINRICH
Filed: 1907-08-29
Granted: 1908-04-02
Abstract: 19,431. Hencke, H. Aug. 31, 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Rotary filters.-Material is supplied to a rotary filter through a hopper 20, and the liquid filters into tapering passages or chambers 11 connected with suction means through the openings 12. The openings 12 are connected with the suction pipe 19 by passages 13 and an annular passage 17 in a cover 15 which is pressed by springs 16 against the trunnion 2 of the drum. The passage 17, Fig. 4, is provided with adjustable plugs 18 so that, at starting, the area under suction may be gradually increased. The passage 17 is also interrupted in the portion 24 corresponding to the part of the drum shaded in Fig. 1, so that there is no suction through the filter where the drum is passing an auxiliary suction cylinder 22 and a scraper 27 which remove the solid layer. In the interrupted portion 24 there is, however, a slot 29 connected with the pipe 19, so that there is suction under a cleansing-brush 25 and a water-spray pipe 26. A valve in the connexion between the slot 29 and the pipe 19 may be linked to the valve of the water pipe and the two operated together. The ends of the silk gauze, felt, or other cloth 10 covering the perforated surface 9 are connected to a shaft 39, which is turned automatically to adjust the tension of the cloth by means of pawl-andratchet gear 40, 41, the pawl being attached to a lever 42 connected by a spring 43 to the drum head. In a modification the passages 13 do not curve in to the trunnion, but communicate directly with an annular passage held against the drum head 7 near its circumference. This avoids a descent in the suction connexions and the possible consequent formation of air pockets. In another modification, the filter draws the liquid from a vat which partly surrounds it. Jets of compressed air may be used for cleansing instead of the water spray ; the chambers may be of infusorial earth, earthenware, wood, or porous stone ; and a steam cylinder for drying the separated material may be used in conjunction with the filter.

Granted: 1908-11-26
Abstract: 8050. Southern, G., Dewhurst, H. B., and Collins, J. F. M. April 11. Liquids, distributing. -To the rear of a wheeled tar-boiler are fixed distributing- means for the tar and a brushing-device to spread the tar on the road. Attached to the tap B of the boiler A is a pipe h with two channels h<1>, down which the tar passes to a straight or curved perforated distributing-pipe i, provided with removable end flanges or plugs j, Fig. 3, for cleaning purposes. Angle-iron uprights a are bolted to metal extensions from the boiler, and a cross angle-iron c bolted to the end plate of the boiler forms a stay between them. Pivoted to the uprights a at d' are two arms d, the lower ends of which carry the axle e of a non-driven brush f which revolves and spreads the tar when the boiler A is drawn along. The axle e may be journaled in the ends of the arms d, or may be fixed thereto, the brush f being then loose on the axle. To regulate the pressure of the brush on the road and to raise it out of contact with the road when desired, quadrant arms d' are attached to the arms d and move through slotted brackets g, being locked by pins g<1>. A curved metallic cover k bolted to the arms d may partly enclose the brush f. The brush f may consist of a number of sections in line on the axle e, and when loose on the axle, the holes in the brush bodies may be of larger diameter than the axle passing through them, so that they can fall independently when inequalities in the road surface are met. Instead of circular brushes, flat brushes may be mounted on the ends of the arms d.

Title: Apparatus for Controlling the Supply of Feed Water to Steam Boilers and the like.
Inventor: MICHAELIS KARL
Filed: 1908-04-23
Granted: 1908-09-03
Abstract: 8898. MichaÙlis, K. Oct. 1, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Feed-water, supplying and controlling.-Relates to apparatus of the kind in which a continuouslyoperated piston 41, moving in a cylinder 40 communicating with the steam boiler or like apparatus at the highest desired water-level, forces water entering the cylinder from the boiler into an hydraulic accumulator 50 serving to regulate the action of the feed-pump or the like. The water enters the cylinder through perforations 45, and is forced through a non-return valve 53 into a cylinder 50 containing a piston 51, which gradually rises and operates a valve &c. closing the feedsupply. The piston receives its forward motion through a spring 43, so that, when the cylinder 50 is full, the stroke of the piston is checked by the body of water in front of it. When the waterlevel in the boiler falls sufficiently to allow the cylinder 40 to empty, the piston again makes its full stroke, and an extension 57 of the piston-rod comes in contact with a lever 56, which lifts the spindle 54 of the non-return valve. The water is thus allowed to escape gradually from the cylinder 50, and the piston 51, which is forced downwards by a spring, opens the water supply again.

Driving - gear for winding and paying-out apparatus.-In a tworope grab apparatus, the auxiliary drum is driven from the mai drum through the medium of a spring element interposed between them. The rope from the main drum c is connected to the closing-mechanism of the grab i. and the rope from the auxiliary drum a, which rides loose upon the shaft b of the main drum, is connected to the frame of the grab. A coiled spring d is attached at the outer end to the drum a and at the inner end to the shaft b. A brake j is fitted to the drum a and a clutch k is provided to positively connect the drum a to the shaft b. During hoisting, the drum c drives the drum a through the spring. To open the grab when lifted, the brake j is applied and the drum c reversed to pay out the rope h. The clutch k is then thrown in and the brake released, whereupon the grab may be raised or lowered while open. Instead of the auxiliary rope being connected to the frame of the grab, it may be passed round sheaves on the grab to a fixed point. In this case the diameter of the drums or the ratio of the gear connecting them corresponds to the purchase of the auxiliary rope. Modifications are described in which the drums are mounted on separate shafts connected by gearing. In two of the modifications the action of the spring is arranged to be entirely suspended, so that there is no tension on the auxiliary rope to assist the settling down drum of the grab while digging the material.
