Title: Improvements in or relating to Box Making Machinery.
Inventor: YOUNG SAMUEL EDWIN
Filed: 1905-02-10
Granted: 1905-12-07
Abstract: 2797. Young, S. E., and Beamish, J. H. Feb. 10. Box-making machines.-The sides of cardboard and like boxes are joined at the corners by means of strips of glued or gummed paper in a machine having the greater part of the actuating-mechanism below the bed of the machine. The piper strip 7, Fig. 1, is led from a roll between rollers 10, 11 which bend it into an inverted V-shape, the roller 11 either gumming it, or moistening it if previously gummed, to the feeder 15, on which it is held by the cap 17 on the end of the bell-crank lever 18, as shown in Fig. 5. The lever 20 is actuated by the cam 21 to move the feeder forward in the guide 16, and has a pin-and-slot connexion to the lever 18 so arranged that, during the forward stroke, the cap 17 is depressed on the guide, and during the back-stroke the cap is raised. The spring 27 causes the lever 20 to return. The end of the paper strip passes through a slot in the plate 4 over a V-shaped knife 31, and over a box placed on the anvil 35, as shown in Fig. 4. The die 33 on the plate 32, actuated from the eccentric-pin 38, then descends, its end 34 co-operating with the knife 31 to sever the strip, which is then pressed over the box corner. The machine is started by putting the clutch 40 into action by means of a pedal, or the shaft 5 may be rotated direct from the pedal.

Title: Improvements in the Treatment of Certain Products of Ammoniacal Liquor obtained by Washing Illuminating and Heating Gases.
Inventor: RADCLIFFE JOHN
Filed: 1905-05-13
Granted: 1906-05-12
Abstract: 10,075. Radcliffe, J. May 13. Sulphocyanides.-Relates to the treatment of the spent liquor from which ammonia has been distilled off, and of the waste gases from the saturators, and consists in the continuous precipitation of sulphocyanides by cuprous salts or cupric salts in presence of sulphur dioxide. The sulphur dioxide can be obtained in solution from the waste saturator gases by burning them and passing the products of combustion to a scrubber containing water-jets, any escaping sulphur dioxide being caught in a tower packed with limestone. The spent liquor is neutralized by adding a suitable acid, preferably hydrochloric acid, or lime or other alkali, as the case may be ; sulphurous acid is added, and then copper chloride or sulphate. The precipitate is removed and the liquid, after reneutralization if necessary with alkali, is then suitable for discharging into drains &c. The copper sulphocyanide can be treated with alkalies, yielding alkali sulphocyanides with recovery of cuprous oxide for reuse. The process is a continuous one, liquor, copper solution, and acid being supplied at a constant rate through holes or by means of three pumps worked from one shaft.

Abstract: 29,121. Warwick Machinery Co., and Halliwell, R. F. Dec. 21. Elastic-fluid turbines.-Relates to a construction of turbines in which the steam flows in opposite directions to balance end thrust. In the fourstage example, Fig. 1, the steam enters at c, passes through the first wheel into an annular chamber p, and then through the second wheel into a chamber k formed in the end cover. From this chamber, the steam passes along four passages as j to a central chamber i, which extends round the castor casing as far as the inlet pipes c will permit, and thence through the third and fourth wheels into the exhaust or condenser u. The shaft is mounted in bearings w outside the turbine, and suitable packings are arranged at the hubs of the outer wheels and between the shaft and the diaphragms d, h. In a five-stage example, the steam is divided when it reaches the chamber t, one half passing straight forward into a low-pressure wheel, and the other half being returned and passing through a similar wheel on the other end of the turbine.
