Title: An Improved Device for Packing Powders.
Inventor: PARASKOVICH TADEUS
IPC: B65B11/48
Filed: 1910-10-03
Granted: 1911-07-27
Abstract: 22,868. Paraskovich, T. Oct. 2, 1909, [Convention date]. Packeting by wrapping-up.-Relates to mechanism for enclosing powdered drugs, chemicals, &c. in which a predetermined quantity of the powder is deposited on a wrapper and the packet is closed by pressing the ends together. A band 3 of paper passes between guiding-rollers 2 beneath a distributing-apparatus 9 of known construction. The end of the band lies on a plate 6 pivoted to the framework. Fingers 14 close over the edges of the wrapper and carry it along to the left, the plate 6 turning into the position shown in broken lines to assist the folding. A knife on a slide 20 severs the wrapper from the web. Rollers 15 forward the folded strip to rollers 24, which are provided with perforating teeth at the edges to unite the sides of the strip, and also along a generating line to close the packet. Alternatively, gumming-rollers may be provided between the feed - rollers 2 and the distributing-apparatus and the gummed edges united by the passing rollers 15. Any number of such packeting-devices may be arranged to work side by side. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) describes also a modification for packing powders in wafers. A wafer is fed in from each side of the machine, one being guided beneath the distributing-device and arriving beneath a pressure device. The other is fed beneath the pressure device so as to be superposed on the charged wafer, to which it is secured by pressure, the edges being cut off by suitable knife edges. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Granted: 1911-11-23
Abstract: 462. Mackie, W. Jan. 7. Separators. - In steam - separators or other apparatus for separating liquids from gases or vapours, of the type in which the vapours are passed over series of gutter-like liquid-retaining baffles arranged in closely adjacent and, usually, staggered rows, each baffle comprises a channellike portion, such as B, Fig. 10, and a web, such as C, attached at one side to the channel portion and inclining towards the other side thereof, to which it closely approaches, so that the inlet D to a dead space formed by the channel is to one side only of the baffle and in the direction of the flow of both vapour and liquid over the side adjacent to the inlet. A double baffle may be formed by two separate baffles arranged back to back, or by two baffles having a common wall A. The baffle may take a variety of forms according as the web C presents a straight, convex, or concave surface to the impinging vapour, and the channel section is more or less circular, rectangular, or rhomboidal; thus Fig. 11 shows a baffle adapted to be made from a split tube. The invention also comprises baffles such as shown in Fig. 13, in which the webs are not inclined to the channel portions but to the line of baffles.

Granted: 1912-07-22
Abstract: 9716. Harrison, R. April 21. Reversing.-Jet-wheels are provided with inlet nozzles g<1>, g<2>, Fig. 1, and exhaust ports e<1>, e<2>, acting in series. By a valve in a chest p, the functions of the inlet and exhaust ports are exchanged, and the steam flows in a reverse direction. Attached to the valve is an extension o<8>, so that, when the valve is raised as shown in Fig. 1, the exhaust orifice is restricted. thereby converting it into an inlet nozzle. In a modification, Fig. 4, the steam is fractionally exhausted during reverse running. During forward running, steam enters the valve-chest by a pipe and passes along a pipe g<7> to the high-pressure nozzle. After exhausting into a chamber h<2>, it is redirected upon the rotor by a nozzle g<2> and finally exhausts through the port e<2> and pipe h<3>. For reverse running, the valve occupies the position shown in Fig. 5, and the valve k<1>, Fig. 4, is opened. Steam entering at g passes through the port e<2>, now restricted by the extension o<8>, and is exhausted through the port g<2> to the chamber h<2>. Part of the steam is returned through the valve k<1> and pipe h<7>, while the remainder is redirected upon the rotor and is returned through the pipe g<7>, the whole of the steam being finally exhausted through the pipe h<3>. A modification is described in which the valve is provided with three pistons and the valve k<1> is dispensed with. A modified construction is described for converting exhaust ports into inlet ports.

Abstract: 23,947. Wesley, H. G. Oct. 19. Measuring; winding. - In a machine for measuring I a c e or other delicate fabric, the material is unwound from a bolt X, Fig. 2, and passes between a measuring-roller D and a yieldable pressing-roller E. A bail V, pivoted at V<1>, carries an idle roller V<2> and prevents injury to the fabric owing to the bolt X stopping at the dead centre. After passing the roller D the fabric passes over rollers R, R', R<2>, which revolve at a higher peripheral speed than the roller D. These rollers prevent the fabric from sticking to the roller D on account of the static electrical charge developed by a slight friction on the fabric. The roller D is driven by a crank G, Fig. 3, through gearing H, H<1>, H<2>. The roller D rotates a. disk L through worm- and-pinion gearing I, J. A graduated wheel M is held in frictional contact with the disk L by a spring O. A stop P is provided so that the wheel M can be set to zero at any time. The bolt X is held in clamps U mounted upon spindles pivoted in the frame C<2>. The fabric is rewound on the bolt by detaching the crank G and rotating one of the spindles carrying the clamps U.
