Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Enclosing in Wrappers Tobacco Tea Cocoa and the like.
Inventor: ROSE WILLIAM
Filed: 1901-03-13
Granted: 1901-07-13
Abstract: 5364. Rose, W. March 13. Pocketing tobacco, tea, cocoa, &c-The machine is of the type described in Specification No. 22,709, A.D. 1891. in which the wrapper and the substance are forced into a mould in an intermittentlyrotating wheel, and the wrapper folded around it. The order of folding is different in packeting tobacco from that in packeting tea and cocoa, Referring to Fig. 4A, wrapper is forced by a plunger 14 into a mould 5, and made to assume a trough shape ; the tobacco is placed upon it from the hopper 12, and then it is folded as shown in Fig. 6, the long flaps 24 being ultimately tucked between the flaps 25 and the hinged side 31 x of the mould by a blade 86, the side 31<x> being operated by mechanism 31<a> to 31<h>. The middle end flaps are next folded by blades 34, Figs. 14 and 15, which turn about shafts 36, 37 ani are geared together by toothed segments 38, 39 ; besides this movement they are made to turn in the sleeves 35 by gearing 40, 41, so as to lay and press the wrapper on to the tobacco. The blade 48 next folds the top flap over the blades 34, and, these withdrawing, the bottom flap is folded by the blade 51 on the arm 52. A blade 48<x> attached to the blade 48 holds the flaps in position until they come opposite to indenting plungers. In the machine for packeting tea &c., shown in Fig. 21, the bottom end folds are first made while the plunger 14 is within the mould, by the rising of blades 56 on arms 57. Plates 64 are then raised by arms 66<1> to support the ends and form a boxlike receptacle for the granular material supplied from the hopper 12. The upstanding flaps 24, 25 are next folded as in Fig. 6, by the plate 26 and blades 27 and 86, and at the next station, the side flaps are folded over the plate 64 by blades 34<a>. The plate 64 is next withdrawn by a cam 95, and the top flap is folded down by a blade 48, Fig. 4<A>, and held by the packet passing beneath a fixed blade. The blades 64 may be moved towards the centre of the wheel by a spring. The mould may have rounded corners.

Abstract: 12,555. Bendixen, N. June 3. Preserving milk.-In the sterilization of milk, the preliminary heating and other treatment, the sterilization proper, and the subsequent cooling and other treatment are conducted in different parts of the apparatus, which are so connected and arranged as to provide for continuous working. The milk is supplied from a tank 1 to a heater 2, in which it is stirred and heated to 50‹ C. and, it may be, otherwise treated. It is then transferred from the heater 2 to the sterilizing- vessel 3 by opening the cocks 6, 8, and is heated first to 100‹ C. and subsequently to 128‹ C., the cocks 6, 8 being closed at the former temperature. During this part of the process, the milk is kept in motion by an agitator 9. The sterilized milk is discharged by steam pressure into the cooler 4 by opening a cock 7. The outlet pipe 10 is curved, as shown, and can be adjusted so as to prevent the whole of the milk from being drawn off and the walls of the vessel from being laid bare.
