No. 21985.—31st October, 1906.—DAVID JOHN KELLY, of No. 6 Delmar Avenue, Salt Lake City, Salt Lake, State of Utah, United States of America, Metallurgist. Improvements in and relating to slime-filtering apparatus.

Extract from Specification.—I employ in my invention a filter which I have found particularly useful for metallurgical work; but to this particular use the filter is not limited, since it may be successfully employed in other fields, and substantially wherever the separation of solids from fluid matter is desired. The filter includes a stationary tank A set preferably at an incline and having a general cylindrical form, although it may have any other desired and suitable cross-sectional shape. This cylinder has one of its ends, preferably the higher one, permanently closed, while the opposite or lower end A¹ is capable of being opened and closed for introducing and removing the filter-frames. As my process involves substantially a filtration under pressure, I make the tank sufficiently strong to resist the necessary applied pressure. Extending along the inner sides of the tank are track rails a, upon which travel the wheels of a carrier b, having a substantially rectangular form, as shown in Figs. 3, 4, and suitably interiorly braced. The carrier is connected with or made a part of the lower or movable head of the tank.
