Abstract: 22,023. Wetter, J., [AmbriÞres et Cie., R. d']. Oct. 19. Preserving milk.-Relates to means for preserving and storing milk. The milk is passed through a strainer of silk, and is introduced into a vessel A from which it flows through a tube B into a vessel G, the temperature of which is kept constant by means of a water bath D, and thermometer E. After sufficient milk has been run in as indicated by a gauge F, first ozone, and then oxygen under pressure, the pressure being indicated by a gauge x, are introduced through the tube d. Stop-cocks e, e' are then opened, when the pressure forces the milk through the pipe I into a vessel J, where it passes through strainers K, K<1> which break it up into small globules and allow the gases to act on it. After sufficient milk has entered as indicated by a gauge F<1>, the cocks e, e<1> are closed and the gas is pumped off through a tube n until the pressure gauge x<1> indicates a sufficiently-low pressure. Finally the milk is run into a detachable closed vessel L, as shown, where it is stored until used. The vessels are coated with a suitable ozone-proof lining.

Inventor: FRESNAYE JEAN DE LA
Filed: 1898-12-10
Granted: 1899-11-04
Abstract: 26,157. La Frasnaye, J. de. Dec. 10. Extracts.-An apparatus for the extraction of substances from disintegrated vegetable or other material by volatile solvents consists principally of an extraction vessel A, containing the material, into which the solvent is fed from an elevated tank, and in which the solution produced is strained through a filter B on its way to a still E heated by steam ; the solvent is distilled from this through a heated tube G to a condensing-worm above the elevated tank. The process is continued until the material in the vessel A is completely exhausted, which may be seen by the colour of the liquid passing from the vessel A to the still through a glass vessel D. The vessel A is provided with a steam jacket and heating-pipes a, and on exhaustion is heated to distil off the solvent adherent to the residue ; the vapour is passed through a non-return valve into cold vegetable oil contained in another still, the dissolved solvent being subsequently recovered. The top U and bottom A' of the extraction vessel A are secured by bolts, and removable by screws T' and handwheels for introducing the material and removing the residue. Between the elevated tank and the vessel A, the pipe s conveying the solvent dips down to a small vessel provided with inlet and discharge valves for separating water from the solvent.

Granted: 1900-07-28
Abstract: 18,429. Thompson, W. P., [Stone, A. R.J. Sept. 12. Cylinder machines with plane printing surface; inking-apparatus; stopping and starting arrangements-Relates to presses particularly adapted for use in taking proofs. The forme x is placed on a table or bed A carried by side frames a mounted on legs A'. On shafts F journalled in the frames a are two pairs of sprocket-wheels E on which run endless chains D carrying the bearings of the impression cylinder C and inking-rollers B. The bearings of the cylinder C and rollers B are attached to the chains by a slotted arrangement to allow the chains to pass over the wheels E. The rollers B receive ink from an inking-surface consisting of discs M or a laterally-moving ink table operated by a rod N reciprocated by an arm p on a shaft having an arm P engaged and operated by the hub of the impression cylinder C as it passes it. On the rod N are pawls operating ratchets m on the discs M. The rollers B also pass over a roller W, in an ink trough W<1>, operated by a ratchet w and pawl Z. On the frames a are formed ribs or flanges K which engage the bearings of the rollers C and B and keep them down on the forme. In a modification, a bar pressed downwardly by springs is substituted for the flanges K. Ribs S guide the inking-rollers B over the roller W and plates M. and lift the cylinder C so that it clears them. The press may be driven by hand, or, as shown, by a band and pulley T on one of the shafts F. The pulley T is loose on its shaft, and a clutch arrangement is provided by which the machine may be driven continuously or may be stopped after each operation. Sliding radially in arms fixed on the shaft F are friction shoes which are pulled by springs into engagement with a flange of the pulley T. These friction shoes may be disengaged by a friction pulley when the latter is engaged by a friction block on a sliding piece, which may be operated by hand, or by the arm P each time it is moved by the cylinder C.

Abstract: 21,569. Marks, G. C., [Campbell Printing Press and Manufacturing Co.]. Oct. 28. Cylinder machines with plane printing-surfaces.- Relates to mechanism for converting rotary into reciprocating motion, applicable for the beds of printing-machines &c. The driving-wheel E is somewhat smaller in diameter than the distance between the racks B, C carried by the bed A, and is caused to move up and down, to gear with them alternately, by mounting its shaft 10 in eccentric bushes 11, 110 ; these bushes have toothed flanges in gear with toothed segments formed on a sleeve which is mounted on a fixed spindle and provided with an arm in engagement with a rotating cam. The reversal of the movement of the bed at each end of the stroke is effected by crank-pin and slot mechanism. A crank-pin 12, projecting from the wheel at its pitch line, engages in the vertical slot 15 of a slide S, which works to and fro horizontally over fixed guides ; on each side of the slot 15 is formed a hole 16, protected by plates 17, and at each end of the rack is fitted a locking pin 25, which is caused to enter and leave the corresponding hole in the slide at the required intervals for the purpose of locking the bed and slide together. Each pin is normally held retracted by a spring and is coupled to a double lever 21, 22 mounted on a spindle 20 journalled on the rack the double lever is provided with a roller 31, and, upon an arm extending in the opposite direction, a roller 29 adapted respectively to run over fixed cams F, G. Stops 18 formed on the racks also bear on the slide during the reversal. A supporting roller 38 is mounted under the bed.

Patent GB-189923206-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Lathes and similar Machine Tools operated by Fluid Pressure.
Inventor: HARTNESS JAMES
Filed: 1899-11-21
Granted: 1900-03-03
Abstract: 23,206. Hartness, J. Nov. 21. Lathes; feed-motions.-The invention is described with reference to the operation of a lathe turret or slide-rest by fluid pressure, but may be applied to similar machine tools. The fluid comprises an inelastic liquid such as oil and an elastic gas such as air. An actuating-cylinder is formed in the saddle b, and its piston-rod P is secured to the bed. The rear end of the cylinder is connected by a pipe k<5> to a four-way cock k<1>, and the front end is flexibly connected by a pipe g with an escapement or fluid-regulating cylinder f. This cylinder is also flexibly connected by a pipe h to the lower end of a reservoir i on the saddle. The upper end of the reservoir is connected by a pipe k with the four-way cock, which also has air-supply and exhaust pipes k<4>, k<3> respectively. The pipes g, h are connected by a bye-pass h<3> with a stop valve h<4>. The escapement cylinder, Fig. 7, has a D-slide valve f operated by a rod f and crankpin f<4> on the shaft f<5> which drives the workholder c. The slide has ports f<11>, f<12> which can place the supply chamber f<51>, to which the pipe h is connected, in communication with either end of a cylinder f<6>, and thence with an exhaust chamber f<13> to which the pipe g is connected. The cylinder f<6> has a free piston f<14>, the travel of which can be adjusted by stops f<15>, f<17> to regulate the amount of liquid passed at each stroke of the valve. The stop f<17> is operated by hand through a rack and partial pinion as shown. To feed the saddle forward, the valve k<1> is turned to connect the pipes k', k and to open the rear end of the actuating-cylinder to the exhaust through the pipes k<5>, k<3>. The air pressure passing to the reservoir i acts on the oil in it, and forces the oil into the escapement cylinder through the pipe h. The oil is thus supplied under pressure to the front end of the actuating-cylinder through the pipe g, thus feeding the saddle forward. To withdraw the saddle, the bye-pass valve h<4> is opened, and the four-way cock turned to connect the pipe k to the exhaust k<3>, and the air-supply k<4> to the rear end of the cylinder, thus rapidly withdrawing the saddle. The oil returns to the reservoir through the bye-pass.
