IMPROVEMENT lN ORE SCOURERS. AMALGAMATORS, AND CONCENTRATORS.
Specification forming part ofLctters Patent No. 152,044, dated June 16, 1874; application filed April 30, 1874.
fully described and claimed.
Referring to the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification, Figure l is a perspective view of my machine. Fig. 2 is a sectional elevation.
A. represents an oscillating concentratingpan, known as the Prater concentrator, which is ordinarily driven at the rate of about two hundred oscillations per minute; but my rubbing or scouring device can be combined with any other pattern or style of concentrator having a similar motion. B is the vertical shaft, about which the pan A oscillates or partially rotates back and forth with a jigging motion. In my device, this jigging motion not only eflects the concentration, as usual, but also provides the desired motion of the rubbing-surfaces. U is a groove or channel, into which the heavy particles of sulphuret and metal are concentrated by the action of the pan A, and from which they are discharged, while the lighter or worthless portions are carried away by the water over the center discharge of the pan. Outside of the channel or groove 0 I construct or place an annular die, D, which may be made in segments to facilitate renewal; and outside of this a channel, E, while the vertical. rim F is outside of the channel E, surrounding the whole. I thus enlarge the diameter of the pan according to the width of the die D and channel E. The rubbing-shoes G G can be applied in any convenient manner to the upper surface of the die D; and they can be .made in several parts, or in one continuous piece, having openings or slots through which he pulp can pass between the rubbingsnrfaces. In the present instance, I have represented a ring, H, corresponding in size with the annular die D, and which is attached to the arms I I and a hub, K, which turns freely around the vertical shaft B. This ring may be constructedso as to form the upper rubbing or scouring surface, or detachable shoes may be secured to its lower side, so as to bear upon the annular die D. The number of shoes employed is not material, but a sufficient num ber of spaces or slots, 0 0, should be provided to allow the pulp to pass in between the rubbing-surfaces. This ring will receive a resultant or backward motion from the sudden impulse which it receives from the jigging motion of the pan, so that it slowly rotates, thus rubbing or scouring in a continuous track. To facilitate this motion, the shoes may be constructed with inclined ends. The pulp is fed into the channel E either through pipes P, from the central hub K in the ordinary manner, or in any other convenient way. Now, as soon as the pulp rises in the channel E above the top of the dies D, it will begin to flow over into the channel or groove U through the openings 0 O. The oscillating or jigging motion of the pan A below the ring of shoes H will cause the pulp to be rubbed by the opposing surfaces of the shoes and dies in its passage from one channel to the other, and thus remove any coating which may envelop the particles of metal, and brighten them, so that they will readily amalgamate when brought into contact with quicksilver.
I am aware thata machine has heretofore been constructed combining an amalgamator, concentrator, and scourer, therefore I do not claim this broadly; but
Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
The pan A, with the rim F, dies D, and outside channel E, in combination with the rubbing-ring H, having the slots 0 0, all constructed, arranged, and operated as set forth.
In witness whereof I hereunto set my hand and seal.
WILLIAM H. PATTON.
