Title: Improvements in Bottling Machines.
Inventor: CHAMP JOSEPH HENRY
IPC: B67C3/06
Filed: 1909-06-09
Granted: 1910-01-20
Abstract: 13,578. Champ, J. H. June 9. Bottling.-In a bottling-machine of the kind comprising a liquid - supply tank, a filling - mouth, and a reservoir from which fluid under pressure is supplied to actuate a device for holding the bottle against the filling-mouth, the liquid and actuating-fluid are supplied under the control of a multiple-way rotary - disk valve, the working faces of which are held in contact by fluid pressure assisted by a spring. The part D', Fig. 7, of the valve is fixed, and the part D<2> which carries the filling - nozzle F and bottle-lifting cylinder E is movable, the valve being operated by a part rotation of the bottle from an inclined initial position to a vertical filling position. The bottle is guided on to the filling-pipe f<5> and stirrup E<4> by a guide J, Fig. 16. The ported face of the fixed valve disk D<1> is directed towards the boss connecting it with the tank, and its stem is formed in two parts d, d<1> united by a nut d<2>. The corresponding face of the disk D<2> has a flange d<3> provided with a cap d<4>, and the faces are normally held in contact by a spring d<5> and also, in operation, by the pressure fluid admitted to the cylinder E, which finds its way through a port 6 into the chamber formed by the cap d' and the outer face of the fixed disk. The liquid-supply tank B, Fig. 3, is formed with a depressed portion B<1> into which dip the liquid-supply tubes d<8>, so that only a relatively small quantity of liquid need be retained while a large gas space is provided. At the beginning of the filling operation, counterpressure is established in the tank through a by-pass in the fixed part of the valve adapted to be connected with the supply of pressure gas by a needlevalve d<9>. The machine may be rotated by the impulses due to the insertion of the bottles and the operation of the valves, or it may be driven through treadle or motor-operated ratchet mechanism. A table is provided on the frame of the machine to facilitate the handling of the bottles.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Apparatus for Refining Paraffin Wax.
IPC: C10G73/36
Filed: 1909-06-10
Granted: 1910-08-10
Abstract: 13,589. Craig & Co., A. F., and Murray, W. F. June 10. Paraffin, purifying by sweating. The molten wax is cooled by floating it on to water in one continuous stream, and is then passed to the sweating-stove in one continuous' solidified cake. The cooling-tank, Fig. 4, is provided on either side with chains of plates 3, which move with the wax and prevent it from spreading and adhering to the fixed sides of the tank. At the end of their traverse, the chains rise over suitable wheels and return to the feed end of the tank. The cake of wax separates by gravity and passes under perforated pipes, which pour cold water on to it. The wax is fed to the cooling-tank by a pipe 2, a shoot 28, and spring guide-plates fixed to the shoot and pressing against the plates 3. The water flows away by a pipe 9. The sweating-chamber, Fig. 11, comprises a number of endless bands 13, on to which the cake of wax is fed continuously. As the cake reaches the end of a band, it is turned over on to the band next below, which is driven at a slightly higher speed. This action together with the sagging of the band facilitates the exudation of the oil. Collecting-pans 16 for the drainings are placed under each band, and are partitioned into compartments each provided with a separate drain-pipe. Steam-coils provide a temperature gradually rising from top to bottom.

Abstract: 4293. Anderson, D., and Worsfold, J. April 6, 1909. Atmospheric gas burners.-In an inverted gas burner, the gas - injection means comprise a sleeve b to which a gas-supply pipe h is connected, a hollow plug f slidable in the sleeve b, and a gas-nipple c which delivers gas in a direction transverse to the sleeve. The plug f is preferably ground in gas-tight, and recessed out in the middle to form an annular space g, from which gas passes through one or more apertures k to the nipple. A cap n encloses the gas-plug, and a suitable pin and incline on the plug f and sleeve b ensure that the nipple is in the correct position when the plug is forced home. The air supply is regulated by rotating a collar o. The gas supply may be regulated by means of a screw pin r. When used with high-pressure gas, the tube carrying the nipple is continued back to the end of the hollow plug, which has one or more fine holes therein to prevent the pressure from entering the gas injector too suddenly when turned on. In a modification, the passage k is in a line with the mixing-tube, the nipple being then situated in the plug itself.
