Title: Improvements in or relating to Devices for Feeding Cartridges and the like.
IPC: B65G47/14
Filed: 1913-04-24
Granted: 1914-03-12
Abstract: 9692. Deutsche Waffen-und Munitionsfabriken. July 11, 1912, [Convention date Flat endless-belt conveyers; push - plate or scraper and trough conveyers and elevators; driving-gear; discharging and feeding devices; guiding belts.- Relates to conveyer belts for feeding cartridges after manufacture from a container one by one. According to the invention the belt conveys correctly-directed cartridges within guides round a pulley and then drops them through an outlet on to a discharge conduit, and the outlet is kept closed when the discharge conduit is full, the cartridges not delivered being then conveyed round again. As shown in Fig. 1, a steel belt b is stretched over pulleys c and passes beneath a hopper a, whence it removes one cartridge at a time between cams g. The pulleys c and the lower run of the belt are covered by casings i. Reliable motion of the belt is ensured by the engagement of cams h with recesses in the pulleys. The cams h are also adapted to slide along fixed rails to prevent the belt from sagging. When a cartridge arrives over the discharge outlet, a cam h on the back of the belt bears against a roller 1, deflects a bell-crank lever 2, 3, and tensions a spring 4, which, if the discharge conduit p is not full, works a lever 5, 6 and opens a flap n. But if the discharge conduit is full, an arm 10 on a spindle 9 is deflected to one side against the action of a spring and another arm 8 on the same spindle locks the flap n against the actions of the spring 4; the flap remaining closed, the cartridge is taken round the lower pulley into the hopper a through a non-return gate at 32, and again round the same course as before, until the discharge conduit is free.

Title: Improvements in Bottle Blowing Machines.
Inventor: MAINZER JOHANN
IPC: C03B9/16
Filed: 1913-08-15
Granted: 1915-06-10
Abstract: 18,595. Mainzer, J. Aug. 15. Blowing; shearing and cutting.-In a bottleblowing machine of the kind in which several parison and finishing moulds are mounted on a single bed-plate, each neck mould being swung from beneath the parison mould to above the finishing-mould, the parison-mould cover and the blowing-head are moved co-axially with the parison and finishing moulds, and all the parts effecting the shaping operation are operated by linkage and corresponding cams mounted on a single shaft. As applied to a four-armed machine, the four bottle-forming units are mounted on a central support provided with gearing for rotating the driving-shaft 16, Fig. 6, of each unit, the operating-cams being mounted on this shaft. The halves of the parison mould 41, Fig. 2, are first closed by linkage 36, 32, operated by a cam 23, and simultaneously the cam 22 through linkage 43 moves the neck core 46 into the neck mould 47. A cam 24 and linkage then cause a piston in the cylinder 53 to move downwards and produce a suction in the parison mould, and so draw the glass in around the core 46, the knives 97 being then operated to sever the blank from the molten glass. The closing-lid 60, Fig. 1, of the parison mould is then moved downwards by a parallelmotion linkage 61<a>, and the piston in the cylinder 53 then moved upwards to effect the preliminary blowing. The bent lever 50, Fig. 8<a>, for operating the preliminary blowing-piston is mounted on a pivot 144, which is fixed in the slotted frame 49<a> by flanged bearings 180, 181 secured by a nut 145, and is adjusted vertically by screwed studs 146 the heads of which engage in a slot in the bearing 181. After the halves of the parison mould have been opened and the closing-cover removed, the neck mould is swung through 180 degrees by cam-operated rack-andpinion gearing so that the neck mould 47 carrying the partly blown bottle passes from beneath the parison mould to above the finishing-mould 75. The halves of the finishing-mould are closed by cam-operated linkage 84 and the blowing- head 113 is moved downwards by a parallelmotion linkage 114 and closes the finishing- mould. A second piston in a cylinder 104 is then operated to force air from the cylinder through piping 115 and the blowing-head into the bottle to complete the blowing operation. The halves of the neck mould are opened, the blowing-head is withdrawn, and the neck mould is swung back through 180 degrees until it bears again on the parison mould. The finishing-mould 75 is supported on an arm 136 projecting from a shaft 137 mounted on the framework 76, and by means of cam-operated linkage, the shaft 137 is rotated and the mould tilted so that the finished bottle slides into a channel and is removed from the machine.

Abstract: 19,267. Klugel, O. G. Aug. 25. Lighting pipes, cigars, and the like.-A lighting-device for pipes, cigars, &c. comprises a suspended gas-supply pipe 10 carrying a burner 44, which normally burns with a pilot flame, but when operated by a lever 20, 21 gives a large flame. The pipe 10 terminates in a stem 13 and a barrel 14, and the lever 20, 21 is pivoted to the barrel and connected by links 55, 56 to the burner, which is supplied from the preferably flexible pipe 10 through pipes 11, 29 and a cock 32. The burner is mounted on the barrel 36 of the cock, and is normally held upright by an adjustable spring 22 in the barrel 14, Fig. 5, stop-projections being provided on the link 56 to limit the movement in both directions. In the horizontal position, Fig. 2, the burner receives its full supply of gas through the passages 35, 38, Fig. 4, which are then in alinement. When the burner is in the upright position, it receives a small gas supply through passages 39, 40, the latter being regulated by a tubular spindle 28 through which the gas passes, entering by an aperture 34. The spindle 28 is held against rotation by a pin and groove 30, 31, and is operated by a member 26 threaded internally to engage the end of the spindle, and externally to engage an enlargement 12 on the gas-pipe 11, the threads being of different pitch and a lock-nut 27 being provided. A globe 48 and a hood 51 are provided. The cock plug 36 is reduced at one end and fitted with a washer 42 and a binding-screw 43, Fig. 3.
