Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Feeding Wrapping Material to Tablet and the like Wrapping-machines.
IPC: B65B41/18
Filed: 1909-08-14
Granted: 1910-08-11
Abstract: 18,721. Forgrove Machinery Co., and Grover, F. Aug. 14. Feeding webs.-Relates to means for intermittently feeding wrappers in web form to wrapping- machines for tablets &c., in which the feed is controlled by regularly-spaced perforations in the web allowing a detent to fall and thereby temporarly to arrest the frictionally-driven feed-rollers, while a wrapper is severed by the cutting-mechanism, and consists in arranging the registering-mechanism so as to act on the web as it passes over a fixed table to the feed-rolls. The web 1 is drawn from the roll 2 over the table 3 by feed-rolls 4 operated by spur gearing 6 on a shaft 7<1>, which is turned intermittently by a pawl 7 oscillated by a cam on the shaft 8. The pinion 5 by which the feed-rolls are driven is held on the roller shaft by a friction coupling adapted to slip when the roller is arrested. The web is provided with perforations located centrally between each two wrappers, which are adapted, as the web advances, to register with a hole 11 in an adjustable plate 10. Above the hole 11 is located an adjustable finger 16 on an arm 14, which is lifted during the feeding of each wrapper by an arm 22 and a cam 21. As soon as the wrapper has been fed so that the perforation in the web registers with the hole 11 in the plate 10, the arm 14 drops and allows a detent 17 to engage a ratchet-wheel 18 on the body of one of the rolls 4, thus arresting the feed. The cam 21 lifts the arm 14 before the feed recommences. The weight of the arm 14 is counterbalanced by a spring 23.

Ram apparatus; balancing. - Relates to the hydraulic lift &c. described in Specification 26,553/08, and comprises modified constructions in which two cylinders and two rams are used, one of which is weighted to overbalance a predetermined load and to displace fluid to the second cylinder without loss through a modified arrangement of control valves. As shown in Fig. 1, the two cylinders y, z have rams b, b<1> from which extension rods c, c<1> pass through the upper ends of the cylinders. The rod c attached to the weighted ram carries a sheave c<3>, the frame of which is connected to the rod c<1>. The load rope d is fixed at d<1> after passing round the pulley c<3>. The cylinders are connected to the valve apparatus near their upper ends by pipes f<5>, f<6>. The valve apparatus is shown in Fig. 5. Working within a casing p is a hollow spindle q operated by hand and provided with sets of perforations. The casing is provided with corresponding ports and passages and two valves w, w<1>.

Abstract: 12,837. Graham, G. H. June 4, 1909, [Convention date]. D i f f e r e n t i a l gearing; clutches, ratchet. - Mechanism for differentially driving motor - vehicle axle-parts &c. 8, Fig. 1, comprises clutch members on these axles which are engaged a n d released by t h e rotation of pinions 41 meshing with a comm o n internallytoothed wheel 43. Clutch drums 10 secured to the axles 8 are adapted to be engaged by expansible clutch rings 13, Fig. 2, which are supported at their middles on arms 20 upon loose carriers 14, Fig. 3. The carriers 14 have other arms 16, 17 for supporting short shafts 24 to which the pinions 41 are secured. There is a carrier 14 and a pinion 41 for each clutch, and the wheel 43 applies power to the mechanism by way of the teeth of the pinions 41. As the pinions 41 turn in consequence of power being applied, crank-pins 27 upon the shafts 24 act through links 35 upon toggles 34, Fig. 2, so as to expand the rings 13 against the drums 10, until the parts become locked against relative movement. If one of the drums 10 begins to overrun the ring 43, the corresponding pinion 41 rolls on the ring 43 sufficiently to allow springs 39 to release that clutch entirely. The movements of the carriers 14 are limited by their segmental parts 15<1>, Fig. 3. In slow-moving vehicles, the initial turning of the pinions 41 is ensured by spring-pressed drag-plates 45, Fig. 1, attached to the carriers 14 by projections 21 on the latter.

Granted: 1911-08-16
Abstract: 5835. Johnson, J. Y., [Badische Anilin & Soda Fabrik]. Aug. 16, 1910. Ammonia. - Better yields of ammonia are obtained in the synthetic process if a promoter is added to the catalyst other than iron, cobalt, and nickel while excluding contact poisons. Oxides or other suitable compounds of the alkali and alkaline - earth metals, earth metals, the rare-earth metals, and also tantalum, and niobium are suitable as promoters, while contact poisons include the metalloids such as sulphur, selenium, tellurium, arsenic, - phosphorus, and also the easily fusible and at the same time easily. reducible metals such as lead and tin. The effect of the addition of any body is determined by making a comparative test with a portion of the catalyst that has not been treated. It is found generally that compounds of those metals that yield non-reducible oxides and salts are suitable as promoters, when used in conjunction with catalysts such as the alkali or alkaline-earth metals, the earth metals, manganese, tungsten, molybdenum, osmium, and the noble metals. The gases themselves are freed from contact poison by passage over a material capable of absorbing it, conveniently a further portion of the catalyst placed in advance. In examples, ammonia is prepared by the passage of nitrogen and hydrogen over a mixture of cerium, and potassium nitrate; a mixture of osmium or osmium oxide hydrate and potassium osmate, which has been reduced in hydrogen; a mixture of barium and potassium nitrate or lithium, calcium, or aluminium, either in the form of metal or as nitride, amide, hydride, or carbide may replace the barium; a mixture of potassium oxide and an alloy of mercury and manganese, the whole being heated until the mercury has distilled off. Specifications 10,441/10 and 19,249/10 are referred to.
