The
ends 19 of the shoe and the free ends of the switches are oppositely curved or faced, so that when these parts are brought into contact the ends of the switches will be forced inwardly by the shoe into contact with their respective electrodes 17. With this construction the uppermost magnets of the cylinder will always be short-circuited while passing underneath the shoe 18'.
The material is fed into the cylinder at its upper or front end by means of a hopper 21, and as the cylinder is rotated the dust and finer particles of the material will be sifted out through the screen 4, while the remaining material slowly passes toward the front end by the action of gravity. As the material passes the magnets the magnetically-attracted particles adhere to the pole-pieces, while the remaining particles are permitted to pass and drop from the lower portion of the rear end of the cylinder. The material attracted by the magnets, however, is carried upwardly with the revolution of the cylinder until the magnets holding such material are short-circuited through the medium of their corresponding switches 16, as heretofore described, when the magnets will be deenergized and the material permitted to drop into a chute 22, by which it is conveyed to any suitable point of discharge.
As there is no axially-supporting shaft for the cylinder 1 the chute 22 may be easily inserted into the cylinder in a position to'receive all the material discharged by the shortcircuited magnets. 7
While other means for deenergizing the magnets may be employed, such as switches or commutator bars or brushes, without departing from the scope of my invention, yet the short-circuiting switches are preferred for this purpose, as it enables me to connect the magnets in series, which makes it practical to wind them for available commercial voltages without using expensive fine wire. The use of the segmental shoe enables me to apply such devices to a rotary cylinder, and the current is thus absolutely continuous and subject to substantially the same resistance. I also attach great importance to the use of the rounded pole-pieces 6, which are incapable of supporting non-magnetic material, but which consist of the ends of the magnetcores and are easily rendered strongly magnetic.
If desired, suitable brushes 25 maybe employed to facilitate the removal of the material from the deuergized magnets in case any of it should adhere thereto on account of the residual magetism, oil, or dampness.
It will also be understood that it is not absolutely necessary that the pole-pieces of the magnets should project into the interior of the cylinder, although this construction is preferred, as it is much easier to hold the attracted material when in direct contact with the magnets. I attach great importance to the fact that in my device the material is first brought into direct contact with the surfaces to which it is to be held and the non-attracted material subsequently permitted to fall away.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
1. The combination with a rotary, openended, non-magnetic cylinder a series of electromagnets mounted thereon; magnet-cores extended through the cylinder and provided with rounded heads on the interior surface thereof; annular conducting-rings located on the cylinder; and brushes for connecting the same with a source of electrical energy, said magnets being electrically connected in series with rings; a resilient bar for each magnet also electrically connected with the rings, and adapted to serve as a shunt for its corresponding magnet when in. contact with a terminal beyond such magnet; and a segmental shoe located in the path of the bar and adapted to force the bar downwardly into contact with the terminal when passing the shoe, said.
bar being normally out of contact with the terminal.
2. The combination with a diagonally-disposed, rotary, non-magnetic cylinder; of 'a cylindrical screen forming a continuation thereof, at its upper end; an annular series of electromagnets exteriorly disposed around its lower end; conducting-rings connected with a source of electrical energy, and electrically connected with the magnets; and circuit-controlling mechanism adapted to energize and denergize the magnets successively, each of said magnet-s being provided with a core extending through the cylinder, and headed on the interior surface, said core and head being integral,and the head being rounded or semispherical in .form, whereby it not only serves to hold the magnet in position, but also concentrates the magnetic force over a small surface exposed to the material passing through the cylinder.
The combination with. a rotary, non-magnetic cylinder provided with an annular row of magnets, and conducting-rings adapted to conveyan electricalcnrrent through the magnets; of a series of resilient bars, each member of which is connected with the circuit on one side of one of the magnets; a terminal located in the circuit, on the other side of each magnet, and normally out of contact with its corresponding bar; and a segmental guideshoe arranged in the path of the bars, and adapted to force them into contact with their terminals; said bars being arched and ar- ICC IIO
ranged for angular sliding contact with the guide-shoe.
In testimony whereof I afiiX my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
