Title: Improvements in Brush Making Machinery.
Inventor: ROSEMAN SAMUEL GEORGE
IPC: A46D1/08
Filed: 1909-10-30
Granted: 1910-10-27
Abstract: 25,038. Roseman, S. G. Oct. 30. Brush-making machines.-The apparatus comprises means for withdrawing a layer of bristles from a box, dipping one edge of the layer into . adhesive, and finally pressing the bristles into separate bunches. The bristles are contained in a box 1 sliding vertically in guides; the box having an adjustable or false front to take different lengths of bristles, and a bottom in two parts movable away from each other. A needle 14 carried on a slide-head 13 is moved to enter the box separating a layer of fibres between itself and the bottom of the box. A wedge on the slide-head 13 temporarily slightly raises against the action of a spring, a support 24<1>, on a plunger attached to the box, for a needle-shield 21 carried on a slide-head 20. On the shield 21 being slid into the box, it thereby rests on the needle 14, and catches on the slidehead are turned up, holding the inner end of the needle. The needle-shield 21 is gripped on the slide-head 20 by movable strips 35, which are opened by contact of their closing-lever with the box frame when the shield is slid inwards. A strip 15 is then raised by mean's of small sliding wedges connected to a lever 19, to grip the layer of fibres below the needle 14. The box 1 is then raised by the lever 11, the shield 21 and remaining bristles being carried up, and the pivoted halves 6, 7 of the bottom of the box swinging apart as indicated in dotted lines in Fig. 3. The separated layer of bristles is moved outwards on the needle-slide head 13 until opposite the pan 38 containing adhesive, whereupon part of the slide 12 is tilted on hinges so as to immerse the ends of the bristles on one side in the adhesive. The slide is turned back, and the slide-head moved opposite to the bunching-apparatus, the slide being again tilted to insert the treated ends of the bristles between the jaws 39, 40 shaped with concave-headed teeth going into recesses as shown. On screwing-in the jaw 40, the bristles are separated into tufts and compressed.

Abstract: 11,442. Leuchars, J. W. May 9. Sorting on interrupted shoots; sorting by passing through graduated apertures.-Deals, battens, boards, &c. are sorted according to their length by causing them to travel along a conveyer or shoot in which are successive gaps of different lengths at suitable distances from each other. The rope or chain b travels between parallel side beams a and is supported by rollers d so as to be at a lower level than the upper surface of the beams. The rope passes over an anchored pulley c at one end of the conveyer and over the drum of a winding-engine at the other end of the conveyer. Guide-pulleys or a narrow board or rail e may support the rope in the gaps between the rollers. Pulleys may be used instead of rollers, and the gaps may be defined by transverse bars. An idle roller may be provided above each roller d immediately in front of each gap to prevent the deals &c. from tilting until they are clear of the rollers. The rollers d may be driven independently of the rope b. The rope may be dispensed with and the conveyer inclined so that the articles will travel down by gravity on the rollers until they arrive at the gaps corresponding to their lengths.
