SUPPORT FOR CONCENTRATING APARATUS.

Specication of Reissued Letters'lpatent. Reissued Och 27 1914.'

Original No. 1,098,023, dated May 26.1914', Serial No. 782,083. Applcationfor reissue led September 9,

. 1914. Serial No. 860,929. l

T all whom it may concern i' v c Be it known that I, VILLIAM F. DnIsTER, residing at Fort lVayne, in the county of Allen and State of Indiana, a citizen of the United Sta-tes, have invented or discovered certain new and useful Improvements in Supports for Concentrating Apparatus, of`

which improvements the following is a specification. 'i

The invention described herein relates to certain improvements in supports for concentrating tables or a unitconslstlng of a -plurality or' su'perposed tables, such as shown and described in application Serial No. 779,932 tiled July 19, 1913. l

The invention is hereinafter more fully described and claimed.

In the accompanying drawings forming a part of this speciiication, Figurev 1 is ancnd elevation of a concentrating unit consisting of a plurality of decks and resting on my improved supports; Fig. 9. is a sec? tional view on an enlarged scale, the `plane of section being indicated by the line lI--II Fig. 1 Figs. 3 and 5 are sectional views on planes indicated respectively by the lines lll-lll and V--V Fig. 2, and Fig. 4 is a. sectional plan viewon a plane indicated by the line IVIV Fig. 3.

In the practice of my invention, plates having projections 1 integral therewith are secured to the sides of a table or a unit consisting of a plurality of tables as shown. The up er surfaces of these projections are rounded) or dome shaped and are provided in their under sides with recesses' 2 for the reception of removable hardened metal blocks 3 having a semicircular recess for the reception of a. hall 4 forming the immediate support of the plate 1 and any part to which it may be attached. The ball in turn rests ina semicircular recess in a block 5 arranged in a socket in the head 6 which is, provided with a threaded stem T. yAs clearly shown in Figs. L) and-3. the head 6 is made of a smaller diameter than the semicircular projection 1 and the latter is provided with a peripheral skirt 8 extending down around l the upper end of the head 6 to protect the latter from dirt. The stem 7 engages a threaded opening in the enlargement 9 at the junction of the arms 10 secured to or formed integral with a`cylindrical member 11 having conical ends adapted to engage correspondingly shaped recesses in thc end Walls of the U-shaped shoes 13. These shoes.

endivise of the trough or ba'se to bring theA seats 'in the blocks 3 and 5 into proper aline; ment respectively.

In order to protect the parts Within the trough 14, a box 17 having an open lower side is carried by the arms 10, being preferably formed integral with arms and cylin-l der as shown, and adapted to extend down outside of the upper portion of the trough as shoivn in Figs. 9. andr.

By reference to Fig. 1 it will be seen that my improved .supports are employed as auxiliaries to the adjustable corner supports 18 employed in connectionwith single deck concentrators, and which in such cases are sufficiently strong to carry the load. But when 'four or more decks are superposed one above 'the other forming a. unitary structure it has' been found advisable to ern loy auxiliary supports arranged midway ot the length ot' structure and on opposite sides thereof as shown in Fig. 1. As the unit is Vibrated transversely, the cylinders 11 will rock ou' the bearings forme-d by the shoes. The universal bearings formed by' the balls 4 will prevent any straining of .the struct-ure as it` is vihrated and will also f ao allovv of the change of this unit incident to its adjustment to the. desired longitiidin'al inclination as described in the application referred t0. The universal bearing will also n permit of the rotation ot' the head (i to adjust Lhc length of the supports.

As shown in Fig. 2, openings 19' are formed through the boss or projection 1 to lubricate the parts of the universal bearing and the head G is provided with a peripheral rim 20 to retain the lubricant around the ball. lVhen in operation the trough 14k Willlbe charged to suliicient depth tolubricate the bearings ot the cylinders.

It is characteristic of the support defeo scribed herein that the universel berings adjacent to the upper ends of the support permit of the adjustment or' the trible or tables to the desired inclination, und also permit of the vibration oi the table around the axes of the journals or cylindrical por tions of the support Without any siroining of the connections of the supportto the table. rihe shoes forni bearings for the journals of the rocking portion of the support, such journals being; the cylindrical pol'- tions resting in the shoes. The shoes or bearings and journals are inclosed in the trough or bose, whereby the shoes ure held in proper relation to the journals, and the bese orf trough is constructed to contain e. suitable lubricant for the Wearing surfaces of the moving ports. lin order to protect the beering surfaces the movable portions of the support ere provided with curtains which extend over und down outside of the shoecontnining portions of the base.

It is characteristic oi' 'the improved sup` ort, that portions contiguous to ell the eerings, Where two surfaces move relatively one to the other, are so constructed as to forni Walls so inclosing such bearing that surfaces subjected to weer will be immersed in the lubricant eonteined in the rece teclee formed by the inclosing Wells, And farther in addition to insuring the lubrication o the' bearings revision is mede for protecting the several) bearings from dirt, etc., by hoods or covers carried bv the parts shove sind movable on the beurings, and so constructed that in all porti-ons of the move-oie parts dirt will be prevented from dropping into the lubricant around the bearing.
