Title: An Improved Method of and Apparatus for Supplying Finely Divided Material to Grinding or other Mechanism.
Inventor: HITCHCOCK HALBERT KELLOGG
IPC: B24B57/00
Filed: 1913-01-15
Granted: 1913-10-02
Abstract: 1209. Hitchcock, H. K. Jan. 15. Sand, grit, and the like, feeding to machines. -Relates to means for supplying finely-divided material, for instance sand, mixed with a liquid to grinding or other machines, whereby material of any requisite grade or combination of grades, may be supplied separately and independently from a grading-vessel, the separation into grades taking place simultaneously with the withdrawal of the material from the vessel. The material is supplied to a grinding-table 1, for example for grinding and smoothing marble, granite, &c., by means of a spout 25, and when it has been used is conducted to a sump 6, from which it is lifted by a pump 8, into the bottom of a cone-shaped vessel 10. The sand separates out into grades in the vessel, the coarsest sinking . to the bottom, and successive layers decreasing in coarseness towards the top ; material that is too fine for further use in the grinding operation is discharged by means of a pipe 11. The finest usable grade, which is used for finishing, is conducted by means of a pipe 13 to a fine sand cone 14, and by means of a current of water passing to the bottom of the cone through a pipe 47, is graded in this cone; it is withdrawn by means of a valve 51, the sand thus gradually becoming finer in grade as it is withdrawn from the cone. The coarser grades, for use in the roughing operations, are withdrawn from the vessel 10 by means of pipes 21, 22, 23 dipping to different levels in the vessel, and having outlets into the spout. The outlets of these pipes are controlled by valves 27, 28, 29 independently rotatable about a common axis and actuated by means of ropes 37 passing around weighted sheaves attached to the valves. In order to clear the pipes should they become choked, water under pressure is led by pipes 41 to chambers 40 near the outlet of the pipes 21, 22, 23, the chambers being normally closed by means of check-valves 42. When choking occurs in any pipe, the rope actuating the outlet valve for the pipe is pulled, thus closing the valve and compressing the packing 38, and causing a projection 44 thereon to lift the check-valve and admit water to the pipe. In order to make up for the loss of sand which is too finely pulverized for further use, fresh sand is added from the hopper 18.

Cow-milkers. - In a suction milking-machine, the upper edge of the teat cup 4 is connected by a flexible membrane 5 fastened to a fluted flexible sleeve 6, to an annular air cushion 7 forming an elastic mouth. The cushion 7 hangs from the upper ends of levers 8 pivoted to a ring 9 on the cup 4. Elastic rings 10, 11 engage the levers 8, which are toothed at 12 to engage an elastic plate 3 supporting the cup 4 in the casing 1. The cushion 7 is contracted round the teat by the engagement with the levers 8 of wires 16, fastened at one end to the casing 1 and at the other end to a movable sleeve 17. The suction conduit 18 is provided with a valve 19, the spindle 20 of which carries an elastic plate 22. To position the teat in the sleeve 6 so that only the end of the teat will be exposed to suction, a movable support 14 is provided as a rest for the teat while the cup is being affixed, and is removed before suction is applied. When suction is supplied, the depression of the plate 3 causes the lowering of the cup 4 and the engagement therewith of the hooked ends 12 of the levers 8, and at the same time atmospheric pressure causes the sleeve 6 to grip the teat. When the flow of milk ceases, air enters between grooves 15 in the sleeve 6, the valve 19 closes, and the bottom 3 with the cup 4 is raised, causing the disengagement of the hooks 12. The rings 10, 11 then act upon the levers 8 to open the elastic mouth 7, the sleeve 6 and the cup 4 slipping off the teat.

Granted: 1915-06-18
Abstract: 6894. Ruths, J. K. March 18. Motor power plant.-In steam plants using steam in varying quantity, steam is generated at constant pressure in a boiler, and the variations in pressure due to variations in demand are met by an accumulator in which steam for supply to the consumer is generated by the constant-pressure steam from the boiler. The steam from the boiler may be supplied partly to an engine using steam at constant pressure and partly to the accumulator; or the steam may pass to the accumulator through an engine using a constant quantity at constant pressure or direct to the accumulator through a device such as a Laval nozzle, which prevents variations of pressure in the accumulator from being felt in the boiler. The accumulator may be heated by any source of heat at disposal, such as blast or coke furnace gas, radiant heat from furnaces, &c., electric current &c. Fig. 2 shows an arrangement in which steam is supplied from the boiler D partly to the engine M using steam at constant pressure and partly to the accumulator A. From the accumulator, the steam is supplied to the engine, machine, or machines K, in which the demand for steam may vary considerably. A valve W capable of being adjusted by hand or automatically is shown fitted in the pipe leading to the accumulator; a Laval nozzle may be fitted. Provision may be made for passing steam direct from the boiler D to the machine K. In the form shown in Fig. 6, the steam passes to the accumulator through a turbine T<1> using a constant quantity of steam at constant pressure and then to another turbine T<2> in which the demand for steam may vary. Instead of passing the whole of the steam from the turbine T' to the accumulator, a part only taken from an intermediate stage of the turbine may be so passed. Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specification 1488/80, [Class 122, Steam engines].
