Granted: 1906-06-06
Abstract: 11,853. Wood, A. A. June 6. Working by unclassified operations. -Relates to a machine for applying flanged metal sealing-caps to bottles, stated to be also applicable to other mechanical operations in which a sheet-metal cylinder is to be reduced in diameter by a condensation of the material of the cylinder. The flange of the cap is indented or closed in about the bottle neck by a ring 152, Figs. 10 and 17, mounted in ball bearings in a lever 145, which is adapted to slide in the hub 147 of a rotatable stud 149 mounted in the head 60, and to be oscillated by an eccentric pin 142 carried by a shaft 139 mounted in an eccentric hole bored in a shaft 133, which shaft is driven from the main shaft of the machine through a countershaft and a train of gearing. The length of the crank formed by the pin 142 is equal to the eccentricity of the two shafts, so that by turning the shaft 139 independently of the shaft 133 the eccentrics may be rendered inoperative. In operation, the crank-pin is yieldingly held in its eccentric position with respect to the shaft 133 by a spring 157, Figs. 10 and 13, and in its inoperative position by toggle-levers 159, 160. The toggle is broken, to render the eccentric operative, by pins 165, 167 on the spur-wheel 131 engaging a tail-piece 163 on the lever 159, two pins being used to prevent the tailpiece from being thrown instantly into its extreme position. After the sealing operation, the toggle is returned to its original position by a roller 169 on the spur-wheel 131 engaging the lever 160.

Title: Improvements in Change Speed Gear Mechanism particularly for Cycles and the like.
Filed: 1905-06-08
Granted: 1906-03-08
Abstract: 12,007. Gobiet, J. L. J., and Triumph Cycle Co. June 8. Variable-speed gearing; clutches.-In three-speed driving-mechanism, particularly for cycles and the like, an eccentric ring J, arranged between, say, six rollers K connecting side plates K<1>, has rollers or teeth to engage teeth H upon the stationary spindle and to engage an internally-toothed ring L. A clutch member G keyed to the driving-sleeve C<1> is connected to a second clutch member O<1> by a circumferential groove, so that the two members are capable of independent rotation but must move together longitudinally. For the low speed, as shown, the clutch teeth or jaws G<2> engage teeth K<2> upon one plate K<1>, so that the eccentric ring, gearing with fixed teeth or sun pinion H and the ring L, drives the hub through the ratchet one-way clutch M, M'. By sliding the clutch members until teeth G<1> engage teeth E<3> upon a radial flange E<2>, the hub is driven direct, while, for the high Speed, the clutch members are slid still farther towards the right so that the teeth 0 engage teeth N, K<3> upon the hub and a side plate respectively, and teeth G<2> engage teeth L<3> upon the sleeve L<1> carrying the internally-toothed ring, when the ratchet clutch will overrun. For changing the gear, a loose cone P has a helically-slotted extension P<2> overlying a portion A<3> of the spindle provided with parallel slots. Pins R engaging the slots also engage a circumferential groove upon the inside of the member O<1>, so that, when the cone is slightly rotated by means of an arm P<1>, the clutch members are moved longitudinally along the spindle. The eccentric ring has teeth or rollers projecting on each side, the rollers being arranged together or alternating on opposite sides. The Provisional Specification states that an ordinary epicyclic train may be used in lieu of the gear described, and also that, as there is a tendency for the cone P to be rolled in a direction opposite to that of the rotation of the hub, no return spring is necessary.

Title: Improvements in the Treatment of Sulphide Ores Containing Zinc
Filed: 1905-11-21
Granted: 1906-11-15
Abstract: 23,977. MacIvor, R. W. E., Fradd, M., and Metals Extraction Corporation. Nov. 21. Zinc sulphate, chloride, and oxychloride; calcium sulphate.-Sulphide ores containing zinc are roasted to convert as much as possible of the zinc into sulphate, the remainder being left as oxide. The roasted ore is lixiviated, preferably with boiling water, and the solution of zinc sulphate, after settling, is mixed with calcium-chloride solution. Calcium sulphate is precipitated and zinc-chloride solution run on to the lixiviated ore. The mixture is digested at the boiling-point for some time and the zinc oxide dissolved. The oxychloride solution thus formed is treated with slaked lime, calcium carbonate, magnesia, or soda ash, the precipitate of zinc hydrate or carbonate thus formed being washed free from chloride and dealt with by known processes for the production of zinc. In a modification of the process, the zinc sulphide ore is dead roasted to oxide, which is subsequently digested with zinc-chloride solution to form the oxychloride.

Abstract: 9424. Batcheller, B. C. April 21. Pneumatic dispatch apparatus.- In a single-tube system, the carrier is driven out to a distant station by pressure and is brought back by suction. The operation by suction at the home station is automatically controlled and operated from the distant station by use of the electro-magnetic and pneumatic arrangements described in Specification No. 9413, A.D. 1906. The transit pipe C, which is open at the distant station, has at the home station a bevel end closed by a flap valve D, and is connected to pressure and vacuum pipes E, G by ports C<4> C<3> and chambers F, H which contain spring-closed valves F<3>, H<3>. The vacuum-pipe valve H<3> remains closed so long as suction is maintained under a diaphragm H<5> as in the arrangement above referred to, and it is opened when the suction is cut off and atmospheric pressure is allowed to act by the electro-magnetic mechanism. When a carrier is to be dispatched to the distant station, the operation of a lever J<2> by a hand-lever makes a companion lever K with a projection K<1> apply a locking-lever L, L<1> to the flap valve D', and press down the pressure-pipe valve F<3> till it is kept open by a latching-lever M. The lever J<2> also, by means of a slotted connecting-rod N, pulls np a piston N<3> in a cylinder O, to let it be returned by a spring as the air beneath leaks through a by-pass O<4> containing a needle valve O<6>. In arriving at its initial position, the connecting- rod acting through a link M<3> and lever M<2> disengages the latching-lever M from the pressurepipe valve.

Inventor: WALKER JAMES GREENHALGH
Filed: 1906-09-14
Granted: 1906-11-15
Abstract: 20,434. Walker, J. G. Sept. 14. Door holders; door opening and closing apparatus; window opening and closing apparatus.-Relates to improvements in the apparatus worked by fluid pressure described in Specification No. 14,956, A.D. 1905. A sliding or swinging door, sash, shutter, &c. is connected by a link C to an horizontal bell-crank B, which is connected by a link R to a sleeve L. The latter slides between stops E, E' on a pistonrod D. The corresponding cylinder F is in communication through a valve chamber V with a pump barrel A, and also with a reservoir of the motor fluid. The sleeve L carries a lug l<2>, Fig. 1, sliding in a groove, by which it is prevented from turning on the piston-rod, and also carries pivoted pawls P, P<1>. The door, sash, shutter, &c. is retained in a closed position by the engagement of the pawl P with a notch G<2> in a rack-plate. The movement of the pistonrod outward first releases the pawl P' from, and then lifts the pawl P into, the non-acting position. After the door, sash, shutter, &c. has been opened the required amount, the pawl P' comes to rest in one of the notches G<3> ... G<7>. Both closing and opening operations are effected by reciprocating the plunger A' of the pump barrel A, one stroke effecting in each case the suction or compression of the motor fluid, while the reverse stroke effects the removal or replenishment of the fluid to or from the reservoir. To open the door, sash, shutter, &c., a plug valve V<1> is set to the position shown. On depressing the plunger A', the fluid passes into a chamber with two sliding valves, lifts the valve 0<1> off its seat, and passes through a passage V<2> to the pipe J. On raising the plunger, fluid flows in from a reservoir E<x>, through a passage V<3>, raises a valve O<2>, and enters the pump barrel. When the plug valve V<1> is turned back through 90 degrees, the pump can be worked to close the door, sash, shutter, &c., the fluid flowing through the passage V<3> to the pump barrel on the up-stroke, and through the passage V<2> to the reservoir on the down-stroke.

Granted: 1907-07-04
Abstract: 25,611. Crain, R. L. Nov. 13. Bending; corrugating.-A strip near the inner edge of each sheet of a loose-leaf binder is rendered flexible by bending or corrugating or otherwise stretching the paper in reverse directions and straightening out the sheet again if desired. The paper is thus weakened at the parts treated. In a preferred form, the sheet as in Fig. 6 is first corrugated for a short distance between rollers d, h. The corrugations are then reversed between similar rollers e, i or by reversing the sheet and redirecting it between rollers d, h. The sheet may be finally smoothed between rollers f, j. The lower rollers h, i, j are adjustably and slidably held in guides and are moved at the proper time into engagement with the upper rollers by cams on the shafts E, F, G. A bar on a gate g prevents the sheets from being fed except at the right time, when it is lifted off the feed-roller 5 by means actuated from a crank on the shaft F, and a small roller 6 is simultaneously lowered on to the sheet. Suitable spur gearing is used to drive the various shafts and rollers at the proper relative speeds.
