Granted: 1901-02-23
Abstract: 7213. Le Heron, A. J. Jan. 17, [date applied for under Sec. 103 of Patents &c. Act, A.D. 1883]. Gas burners.-Relates to valve apparatus for automatically regulating the supply of gas to geysers. Within the casing E is mounted a spindle U, which at the middle is attached to a flexible diaphragm, and at the top and bottom to disc valves N, T respectively. As water passes from the geyser to the bath &c. by the passage X, it lifts the valve N, and, with it, the valve T, which regulates the supply of gas from the pipe R to the burner by the pipe I. The gas supply is thus automatically regulated by the water as it leaves the geyser. A small hole o in the disc T allows a supply for the pilot jet when the valve is closed. To increase the sensitiveness of the valve it may be balanced either by springs or water pressure. The arm I may be swivelled, so that, as it is turned outwards from the geyser, the main supply of gas is cut off and sufficient only for the pilot jet is allowed to pass through an annular groove P.

Filed: 1901-04-16
Granted: 1902-02-27
Abstract: 7819. Lever Bros., and Phillips, J. F. April 16. Parcelling soap tablets &c.-Soap tablets k fed by a band h fall down before a plunger l, which thrusts them into a recess e<1> in a wheel with a false bottom e<2>, together with a wrapper held across the recess by a gripper e<5>. As the wheel rotates, the wrapper is folded over the soap by air jets shown in Fig. 10 and by a brush n, and secured by the spring o and guide-plate p. On reaching the uppermost position, the top end flaps are blown down by air jets at q, Fig. 1, or folded down by mechanical means ; the rear side folds are made by an arm r, and the front side folds by curved side plates. On reaching the level of the axis of the wheel, the packet is expelled into a recess f<1> in another wheel f, owing to the false bottoms e' of opposite recesses being connected by rods. The wheel f carries the packet past a pasting-device, Fig. 14, where its flaps x receive paste from rods projecting from a travelling band t<3> and then onwards to a trough v, into which they are expelled, the edges of the trough folding down the pasted flaps and holding them while the paste sets. The packets finally pass on to a band w. The wrappers are fed to the wheel by a sucker b carried on the end of a lever a<8>, which moves them horizontally from beneath a bar b<2> into the path of the gripper e<5>. The pile of wrappers, of paper, tin - foil, or the like, is gradually raised by ratchet and screw gearing slightly less than the thickness of a sheet of paper at each operation. The screw a<16> is operated by a split nut which can be opened to allow the follower B to descend. The wheel e carries a star-wheel g, which is driven by a crank a<9> and is locked between each movement. The wheel f is driven by spur gearing from the shaft d of the wheel e, and the grippers e<5> and arms r are operated by fixed cams such as e<10>, Fig. 10. The sucker may take the lowest wrapper from a pile resting on an inclined base, and deliver it to a travelling band which carries it to the grippers. There is also described an arrangement for feeding the wrappers in the form of a web and cutting them off and directing their foremost end to the grippers by a spring lever, and also a paster comprising paste wheels which roll on the flaps x when they are in the plane of the bottom of the packet.
