Title: Improvements relating to Apparatus for Labelling Tins, Jars, and like Vessels.
Inventor: LEAKER RICHARD HOWARD
IPC: B65C3/12
Filed: 1909-09-20
Granted: 1910-03-24
Abstract: 21,415. Leaker, R. H. Sept. 20. Coating-machines.-In machines for labelling cans, jars, &c., adhesive is conveyed to the labels from a roller 33, composed of alternate disks of metal and resilient material and rotating in a trough 27, by intermediate rollers 44, 45, 54 carried by an arm 39 pivoted at 34. The gumming- rollers are rotated continuously by chain gearing from the driving-shaft 2. A drum 79 on a shaft 67 coacts with the roller 54 to feed the labels to the affixing - roller, and is intermittently rotated by chain gearing from a shaft 16 operated by a pawl and ratchet-wheel, connecting-rod 12, crank - disk 9, and spurwheel gearing from the shaft 2. An eccentric on the shaft 67 and a connecting-rod 73 yieldingly rock the arm 39 and gumming-rollers in unison with the actuations of the drum 79. Should adhesive get on the drum 79, it is removed by wipers 86, 89. A small roller 57 has flanges engaging in grooves in the gumming-roller 54, and is rotated in the same direction by a belt from the roller 54 to prevent the labels from adhering to the latter roller.

Title: Improvements in Warp Stop Motions for Looms.
IPC: D03D51/28
Filed: 1911-06-12
Granted: 1912-06-12
Abstract: 13,957. Carver, T. A. B., and Textile Appliances, Ltd. June 12. Stop-motions, warp.- The reed dents bare insulated one from another, but are electrically connected in groups, and are provided with springy projections a<1>, Fig. 2, which are normally prevented from coming into contact with neighbouring dents or projections thereon by the pressure of the warp threads. If a warp thread raised between the dents breaks, contact is made, and the detector or controlling electric circuit of the knock-off mechanism is closed, whereby the loom is stopped. The projections are preferably stamped out-of the reed dents, and are arranged alternately, so that a projection is always. situated opposite to a solid part of the neighbouring dent. A comb f of insulating-fingers is preferably arranged so as normally to press the springs a<1> flush with the reed dents, these fingers being raised to free the springs when the reed is in its rear position and the warp threads are raised. To facilitate detection of a broken .warp thread, the two groups of dents may be further subdivided, an electric current indicator being placed in each of the parallel circuits of the sub-groups. In the case where there may not be a warp thread raised in each space of the reed, the dents are connected in groups a, b, as shown in Fig. 6, the groups being energized, in the order necessary, by a commutator g and contact-devices g<1>. An electrical relay is preferably used in connexion with the detector circuit, so that, when this circuit is closed, the current therein need only be small, to prevent danger from sparking. The relay may comprise an electro-magnet wound differentially with coils from the detector circuit and an independent circuit, so that the armature is normally raised, but is allowed to fall when the detector circuit is closed and thus momentarily neutralizes the active coil on the magnet, the armature then closing the circuit that controls the knock-off mechanism.

Abstract: 17,122. Kelly, E. W. Aug. 1, 1910, [Convention date]. R÷ntgen-ray apparatus. - Relates to a plate-holder for use in taking stereoscopic X- ray photographs. The plates are held in two plate-holders 9, 10, Fig. 2, which are hinged together and slide in a carrier divided into three sections 4, 5, 6, Fig. 1, the outer sections being covered with shutters impervious to X-rays, while the middle section is covered with a sheet of aluminium pervious to the rays. The plate-holders 9, 10 slide into the carrier on rollers 16, 18. In the first position the plateholder 9 registers under the section 5 while the plate-holder 10 can be exposed under the section 6. The plateholder is registered in position by a spring finger 37 which springs into a notch in the plate 35 on the holder, and which is movable in brackets 37<a>. The brackets 37<a> are secured to a member 40 which is attached to one end 26, Fig. 5, of a pistonrod 23 which slides in a slotted tube 19 under the influence of a coiled spring 34. The end 26 of the piston-rod is held back against the tension of the spring 34 by a catch 31. For the second exposure the X-ray source is shifted a short distance and the piston-rod is released by pulling the string 32. The plate-holders are thereupon shifted along the carrier by the finger 37 until the holder 9 registers under the section 6 while the holder 10 is shielded under the section 4. The movement of the plate-holders is retarded and cushioned by the gradual escape of air through apertures 25 which decrease in size towards the end of the piston cylinder.
