摘要:
Slurry pump, particularly for wet concrete, in which a discharge pipe extends upwardly from the base of a supply hopper and is rotatable through a restricted arc about the vertical axis. The discharge pipe is provided, at the bottom of the hopper, with a horizontal elbow registering alternatively with two pump cylinders extending horizontally from the hopper. During induction a pump cylinder ingests slurry from the hopper and during discharge, discharges slurry to the discharge pipe through the elbow, the discharge pipe being oscillated to connect with the appropriate cylinder.

A coupling for interconnecting wheeled vehicles, such as a tractor and a trailer. The coupling is of two parts, one part being movable between coupled and uncoupled positions with the other part. Preferably one part is pivotally mounted on a tractor and provides for movement about both vertical and horizontal axes.
摘要:
An ice-making machine by which batches of pieces of ice are made repeatedly automatically relies on the flow of water over a freezer surface to make the ice. The water is pumped from a trough that initally contains a predetermined volume of water, and water not retained by the freezer surface flows back into the trough. When the level in the trough has fallen to a predetermined value, a level responsive device puts the pump temorarily out of action and operates means for causing the ice to fall from the freezer device. The trough is automatically replenished so that it again contains the predetermined volume of water and the cycle is repeated.
