Claims.—(1.) In the separation of magnetic from non-magnetic materials, the combination of a belt C with a hollow magnetized pulley A, said pulley being magnetized by a current of electricity passing through a coil between the bosses and rims of the pulley, said rims being kept apart, materials to be separated being poured on the belt (which is nearly horizontal), and when going round the magnetized pulley the portions capable of attraction are retained, the other portions falling off to another place, and said process being repeated as often as necessary for complete separation of the magnetic from the non-magnetic portions, all substantially as described, and as shown on the drawing. (2.) In combination, pulleys A having coils of insulated wire capable of carrying a sufficient current of electricity to so magnetize the portions of the rim of the pulley that it will retain any portion of material placed on the running belt that is capable of magnetic attraction till from the action of the belt and pulley said material is torn out of the magnetic field, when the belt leaves the pulley, the other portions previously having fallen into another place, and this process being capable of repetition, all substantially as shown and described and explained, and for the purposes as set forth.
