Title: Apparatus for Washing Filtering Media.
Inventor: PARKHURST SIDNEY WILLIAM
Filed: 1905-10-17
Granted: 1906-06-21
Abstract: 20,996. Parkhurst, S. W., and Ashling, W. Oct. 17. Washing.-The apparatus is particularly intended for cleansing media used in filtering beer, wine, and spirits. The medium is supplied to the tank A near the pipe j, which sprays it with water. It is drawn underneath a rotating ribbed cylinder a and disintegrated as it passes between the latter and a stationary ribbed plate placed beneath it. The medium passes round the partition A<1> and under a rotary screen f, from the interior of which the dirty water is drawn through vertical branches of an horizontal pipe e. The latter has a connexion h through which water is supplied to start the siphon action. A pipe may be provided for the introduction of steam to sterilize the medium. In order that the distance between the cylinder a and the ribbed plate may be regulated, the cylinder shaft c is mounted at one end on a block C on a hinged arm, the loose end of which is attached to an adjusting-screw, and at the other end on a bearing c which allows of a limited movement. The shaft b is rotated by means of the belt pulley b<1>, and the screen f by means of gearing g.

Granted: 1906-05-17
Abstract: 6121. Hall, B. June 14, 1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Inking-apparatus. -In printing-machines, connecting-rod mechanism is provided whereby one group of inking or similar rollers may be driven from another similar group or from an independent driving-member, the second group of rollers being driven directly from the machine. Fig. 1 shows a cylinder press having four inking-rollers 7 driven frictionally by rollers 9 which are driven in opposite directions alternately through gearing from a rack on the reciprocating bed. The rollers 21 which ink the table 10 are driven through similar gearing from a gear 26, which is driven from the gear 14 by a connecting-rod or yoke 20. The latter preferably operates an idler crank-arm 29 at its lower corner in order to obviate the possibility of dead-centres. In some machines of this class, the ink-table rollers are driven continuously in one direction, and in this case the driving-member must also,operate in one direction.

Granted: 1908-07-16
Abstract: 20,293. Lake, H. W., [Turner Tanning Machinery Co.]. Sept. 11. Hides and skins, raw and tanned or tawed, treating.-A staking or perching machine is shown in sectional elevation in Figs. 6 and 8, and Fig. 5 shows the staking-tools and adjacent parts to a larger scale. The main belt - driven shaft 12 carries a counterbalanced crank 21 which is pivoted at 20 to a pitman 18, the front end of which is journaled on a shaft 19 having slippers 17 which travel in guides 16 formed on the side frames 11. An extension of the pitman carries a support 231, Fig. 5, to which the staking-blade 23 is secured, and also two rollers 25, 26 over which a flexible worksupport 27 passes. This support is attached to a rod 28 at the front, and to the frame at the back by a spring 29, Figs. 6 and 8, which keeps it taut. The upper cushionlike staking-member 50 is suspended from two arms 33, 40 by a pair of hangers 43 which carry the cushion by means of parallel links 51 and bars 54. By turning the bars 54 about the pivots 55 and locking them to the hangers by means of nuts 67, the cushion may be angularly adjusted with regard to the blade 23. The cushion can move backwardly against the action of springs 62 which are coiled around suspending- bars 56 and bear on a cross-bar 60 through which the bars 56 slide, as shown in front view in Fig. 3. The strength of the springs 62 can be altered by means of a hand-operatad screw 63, which bears on the bar 60 and is lccked with regard to the bar 57 by a spring 65. The bars 33, 40 are pivoted to the pitman 18 at 34, 41 so that the three reciprocate together when the crank 21 revolves. The pin 34 is eccentric to allow adjustment of the arm 33 by turning it. An additional oscillation is imparted to the cushion 50 by a cam 37 mounted on the crank-pin and engaging a roller 36 on the overhung end of the arm 40. A spring-pressed plunger 73 relieves the cam of the weight of the part supporting the cushion. The skin under treatment is held by the operator's body against a cushion 70 at the front of the machine, and is folded between the blade and cushion, as shown in Fig. 6. The arrangements are such that during the backward stroke the blade and cushion are maintained parallel, the former being above the level of the work-support 27. At the end of the stroke they separate, and during the forward stroke the blade dips, as shown in Fig. 8, so that the skin rests on the support and ledges 81 on the side frames. In a modification, the bar 33 is omitted, the hangers 43 being rigidly attached to the bar 40.

Mechanical dispatch apparatus.- In conveying-apparatus of the kind in which an endless cable draws carriers over forwarding and return tracks, loops through which the cable travels are provided in the return tracks, forming stations where the carriers may be put into co-operation with the track and cable. A station is shown in Fig. 1, the main forwarding tracks A and return tracks A<2> being supported by brackets A. Above each station, curved switch-tracks A<4> are mounted, consisting of thin metal strips separated sufficiently to allow the passage of switch fingers C<8> on the carriers C, Fig. 22. The switches comprise pivoted portions A<5>, Fig. 8, of the main tracks A, supported by a bracket A<6> and normally held in alinement with the tracks A by a spring A<8> until diverted by a carrier C engaging with the switchtracks A<4>. Receiving-tracks A<3>drop from the main line at the stations and receive carriers switched off at these stations. To brake the drop of and to hold the carriers until they are removed from the open terminus of the tracks A<3>, a spring brake device, Fig. 4, is provided, consisting of brackets B movable on the tracks A<3> and connected by springs B<2> so as to hold the tracks closer together and pinch the carriers. The tracks A' at each station are expanded at F to permit the insertion of a carrier into co-operation with the cable D. The carriers, which are adapted to travel on their sides, comprise shells 0 having spring- pressed lids C<1> held closed by catches. They are guided on the tracks by means of recesses formed between "fibre" plates C<3> and guides C<7>. A movable spring-pressed arm C<6> grips the cable against a fixed arm C<5>.
