Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Cleaning Milk Cans and the like.
Inventor: ALLESE HANS
IPC: B08B9/08
Filed: 1910-12-01
Granted: 1911-04-27
Abstract: 27,941. Allesoe, H., Jensen, J. M., and Schou, C. Dec. 1. Cans, washing. - Relates to apparatus for cleaning milk-cans &c. of the type in which brushes mounted on a collapsible frame are passed into the can and then expanded to contact with the interior thereof, and consists in supporting the collapsible frames by arms or the like which are drawn into the hollow spindle of the apparatus to collapse the frames in such a manner that the brushes are not moved lengthways in relation to the spindle, and in means for securing the brushing-apparatus to the can. Fig. 1 shows one construction in which the brush frames g are moved along spring guides c by cords attached to a bar m passing through the hollow driving-spindle. The bar is raised to collapse the brushes by a lever p passing through a slot in the hand-crank, and is retained in the raised position by a cotter. A plate c, carrying the bearing for the operating- shaft, is fixed to the top of the can by a latch d. The halves of the brush frame are not in alinement, and are arranged so that they normally overlap at the lower end, thus applying two sets of bristles to the centre of the base of the can In a modified construction, the rod m is spring-mounted, and the brush frames are attached thereto by curved links passing through slots in the driving-sleeve. The rod m is raised by a handle, and is provided with a retaining-ratchet engaged by a pawl on the hand-crank. The brush frames in each case are formed of U-iron, and the central portions of the bristles are bent into the channel and secured by a metal bar fitting therein, thus allowing both ends of the bristles to engage the can. Fig. 8 shows a modified method of securing the apparatus to the can. The plate c carries three studs x engaged by slotted levers pivoted to a rotary plate 2, which is retained in any desired position by the ratchet y engaging the hand-lever. By rotating the plate, the hooked outer ends of the levers are caused to grip or disengage the rim of the can.

Abstract: 25,009. Reynolds, F. R. Nov. 3. Pleating. - P a p e r from a roll 29 is gripped between bars 3, 4 and moved up to and creased against a bar 17, gum being applied inside the crease by a knife 27 and fed by rollers 26, 25 from a trough 24. The bars are reciprocated by rods 5, 7, 8, the rods 8 being fast on a shaft 9 which is rocked by a lever 10 driven by a cam 13. The amplitude of oscillation of the rods 8 governs the distance between t h e creases and is determined by bolts 37 on a wheel 22, which is driven step by step by means of ratchet mechanism 39, 40. The bolts are screwed into the wheel and locked by nuts 38 when projecting to the required extent, the rods 8 abutting against the bolt heads when pulled by springs 14 on the return stroke. A single stop is used if the distance between the creases is to be uniform. In operation, the paper is fed under the bars 3, 17 in position to be held by springs 49, 18. It is first held under the bar 17 by causing the cam 19 to release the supporting-arms 20, and the rods 5 are then moved towards the bar 17. Slots 31 in the rods permit of a preliminary movement to remoye their wedge-shaped ends 33 from the similarly-shaped ends of the bar 3, allowing the springs 49 to grip the paper. After further movement, pins 6 on the lower bar 4 are engaged by the ends of the slots in the rods, and the paper is creased against the bar 17. The meeting faces of the bars 3, 17 may be cut away when, for instance, pear-shaped pleats are to be made, and for ordinary creasing. After formation of a crease, which may be assisted by the application of heat, the bar 17 is lifted by the arms 20 and a rotating brush 30 allowed to feed the paper into position for the next crease.
