Abstract: 13,625. Merton, T. D., and Ridge, H. M. June 10. Roasting - furnaces ; charges; agitating.-Relates to furnaces for roasting pyrites, concentrates, slimes, or spent oxide obtained from gas works and employed in the manufacture of sulphuric acid. The furnace, which may be constructed with superposed hearths, is provided above the roof with a dust chamber, and is furnished with special means for discharging the material. The rabble shafts are arranged so that the hearth is divided into zones, and the rabble arms of adjacent zones are arranged to overlap only a short distance. As shown in Figs. 1, 2, and 3, where the number of rabbles in the five zones is one, two, three, two, one, respectively, the rabble arms within a zone cut deeply into the fields of adjacent arms, while the rabble arms at the end of a zone cut only slightly into the field of the arms in an adjacent zone. The ore is passed from one zone to another by oblique rabbles 52 on the ends of the arms of the zones to which the ore is to be transposed. When only two rabble shafts are employed, the fields of the arms slightly overlap at the centre of the hearth. Each rabble shaft K is protected in the dust chamber by a fire-clay casing 80 and is mounted in a jack foot-step 82 so that it is vertically adjustable. Seals 81 are arranged to prevent egress of gases or ingress of air. The material is fed to each hearth by screw conveyers M, and to discharge the ore an archimedean screw 70, Fig. 8, is enclosed in an iron case N, which is provided with a top slide 55 and a discharge shoot 63 having counterbalanced double doors 64<b>. A slide 55<a> at the bottom of the case may be arranged to close the shoot 63 and to allow the ore to pass to the hearth below through an outwardly bevelled opening 68<a>. From the upper compartment of the furnace the gases pass upwards through flues 75, 75<a>, 75<b>, to the dust chamber, which is provided with partitions 77 having staggered openings 78. The dust may be removed through doors 74 or raked through openings 76 into the compartment below.

IPC: B60G11/00
Filed: 1910-01-08
Abstract: 570. Brophy, M. M. Jan. 8. Springs, arrangement of and mounting bodies and undercarriages on. - In an anti-vibration device, the load is supported on springs acting through levers in such a way that the effective length of the lever-arm supporting the load is increased, while the effective length of the leverarm acting against the spring is decreased, as the compression or tension of the spring is increased. The arrangement may be applied to motor and other vehicles, locomotives, cycles, and baby carriages. As shown in Fig. 1, which illustrates the principle, the weight A is supported through the lever B and links E, F by springs C. When the weight is increased and the lever B moves from the full-line to the dotted-line position, the lengths of the'virtual lever-arms become altered from x, y, to x<1>, y<1>. In Fig. 2, a denotes the frame of a vehicle, and b is the axle. The lever c<1> is pivoted at c so as to compress or extend an adjustable spring e when the axle rises. Fig. 6 shows a modification for use with a leaf spring. The lever c turns about a virtual fulcrum between links i, connected to the vehicle frame a and spring e respectively, and the lever may be provided with right and left hand screw-threads so that, by rotating it, the links i can be adjusted according to the load. As shown in Fig. 7, spiral springs are connected between nuts on the screwthreaded lever universally pivoted to the body and C-brackets secured to the axle.

Granted: 1911-03-09
Abstract: 11,996. Hollingworth, E., [Crompton & Knowles Loom Works]. May 14. Weft, cutting.-In temple weft-cutting devices, a lever 27 mounted on a screw 28 secured to an extension 18<2> on the movable hooked cutter 18 is acted upon by a spring 29 secured to the temple-bar 14, and is thereby normally held in the path of a projection on the lay, whereby the cutter 18 is normally moved towards the breast beam at each beat-up, so that any weft extending from the selvedge may be cut, between the cutter 18 and the fixed cutter 17. When weftreplenishment occurs, the lever 27 is moved out of the path of the lay projection into the path of a side extension 34<2> on a lever 34 operated through a connector 35 from a cam on the bottom shaft or by connexions with the lay or other mechanism which rocks the lever 34 once at every other pick, the movement of the cutter being thus delayed to enable the loose weft end to be first beaten up and carried into position beneath the cutter 18, before this is moved. When replenishment is to occur, a feeleroperated spring-controlled pin 7 guided in an arm or side extension 5<3> on a vertically-movable plate 5 connected to the transferrer arm 4 is moved into the path of a cam-actuated rod 6. The plate 5 is thereby raised, and a lever 21 engaging beneath an enlarged part 5<2> of the. plate 5 is rocked by a spring 22. A rod 25 connected to the lever 21 then moves the lever 27 out of the path of the lay projection and into the path of the lever 34.
