Patent GB-189907829-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in the Construction of Paper Bags and in Rotary Machines for Making Paper Bags.
Filed: 1899-04-14
Granted: 1899-06-24
Abstract: 7829. Bibby & Baron, and Duerden, J April 14. Paper bags, machines for making. The bags are square in section when opened, and are shown in Figs. 2 and 2<a> in the condition when the diamond fold of the bottom has been made. A web of paper is folded round a former into a longitudinal tube and is pasted with two streaks of paste near the two edges, so that, when they are pressed together, the paste may spread over the space between and at each side of the streak, but not beyond the edges, so as to resemble hand-made bags. The former on which the tube is made is adjustable in width, and the speed of the feed-mechanism is also adjustable to adapt the machine for making bags of different sizes. The bag shown in Fig. 2 is folded by the mechanism shown in Figs. 12 and 12<a>. The open forward end of the tube, which has been slit to produce the tabs a', is fed along with a distending rod l<1> inside it until it meets a rod i ; the rod l<1> is then rapidly withdrawn, to clear the shears h, h<1>. As the tube continues its forward motion, the tucker blade j descends upon it, traversing the curved slot j<2>, and produces the crease a<1>, a<1>, about which the rod i folds back the upper side of the tube until it assumes the diamond shape shown in Fig. 2. The leading angles of the diamond fold are formed by divergent fingers k, k<1>, which swing about the shaft k<2> and move with the bag until it is nipped by the drawing-rollers m, m<1>. The fingers are geared together, and gradually turned about their own axes by a cam k<12> until they lie parallel to each other and emerge from beneath the fold. The shears h, h<1> now cut off the blank from the tube, and it passes on to feed rollers n, n<1> and a paster, which gives it a streak of paste a<3>. A blade p next folds the bottom about the line a<4>-a<4>, and forces it between rollers p<3>, n<1>, and then the final fold a<5>-a<5> is made by a blade q which forces it between rollers p<4>, p<6>. Simpler mechanism is employed to make the bag shown in Fig. 2<a>. The top side of the tube receives a semicircular cut a<6> by a punch as it passes over the former, and the fingers k, k<1> and drawing-rollers m, m<1> are dispensed with.
Patent GB-189909728-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Machinery for Twisting Yarns or Threads.
Filed: 1899-05-09
Granted: 1900-03-17
Abstract: 9728. Boyd, T. A., and Boyd, J. & T. May 9. Stop-motions; rollers and roller heads.-Reference is made to Specification No. 16,924, A.D. 1898. In twisting-machines, vertical trap rollers 4 are employed, each roller being arranged to slide on a vertical spindle and driven by the bevel gearing 5, 6 from a longitudinal shaft 7. The upright rod 8 carries a vertical wire or rod 9, which projects beneath the roller, and when the rod 8 rises, owing to the operation of the automatic stop-motion, the roller 4 and its bevel-wheel 5 are lifted so that the driving-wheels are no longer in gear and the roller stops. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 2, a cam surface 13<1> is fixed on the lower part of the roller 13, and a projection 14<1> on the balanced lever 14, so that, when the front end of the lever rises on the breakage of a thread, the projection 14<1> engages with the cam 13', and the roller continuing to rotate, is automatically lifted so as to disconnect the driving-gear ; 17 is a cam lever, by which, when the roller has been stopped, the rod 18 may be raised by hand for stopping the spindle. The parts are reset by depressing the lever 14. The hollow vertical trap roller may be covered with an endless band of leather or other suitable material, the roller being provided with a vertical slit through which the endless band is passed and secured by means of a tapered peg or rod 23, the inside of the cup-shaped roller being correspondingly tapered. The Provisional Specification describes the application of a water trough to the machine.

Abstract: 10,542. Girard, F. May 18. Lathes; screwing.-An automatic lathe for operating on bars has a headstock 5, the hollow spindle 6 of which carries the tools, which are rotated and fed radially while the bar i is fed forward, the feed-motions being derived from a cam shaft f. The bar is clamped in jaws x on a carriage j by a cam-operated lever t with a roller v. The carriage is reciprocated by a cam o and lever k, the pivot q of which is carried by an arm p so as to be adjustable. The bar is held by split jaws z which are closed by a cam lever 2. The tools are mounted on plates 23 which slide radially in a disc 11 carried by arms 12 on the spindle. The tools are operated by levers 24, each of which is connected to one of a number of concentric tubes passing through the spindle, so that each tool may be independently operated by cams 20, 21, 22 and levers connected to the opposite ends of the tubes. Each lever 24 has a balance weight 27. A central tube 29, operated in a similar manner, may be provided to pass over the article before it is cut from the bar, so that the finished articles may be successively pushed through the tube and discharged clear of the turnings. The Provisional Specification refers to a modified construction in which a screwing-device is provided.

Patent GB-190002635-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Corkscrews.
Inventor: SCHARFF ERNST
Filed: 1900-02-09
Granted: 1900-12-01
Abstract: 2635. Scharff, E. Feb. 9. Corkscrews.-Relates to corkscrews of the type in which the screwed stem B of the corkscrew C works in a frame A, the corkscrew being inserted in the cork and the cork withdrawn, by a continued rotation of the handle in one direction. In the present invention, the handle consists of two arms E, F, pivoted to the nut D on the screwed stem B. In the raised position of the stem, as shown, the arms E, F are held by gravity in their lowest position, so that the projections g, h on the arms close the aperture of the nut D, and prevent the rotation of the nut on the stem while the corkscrew is being inserted in the cork. When the corkscrew is fully inserted, the arms E, F are tilted upwards by engagement with the top of the frame A. The projections g, h are thus moved clear of the stem B, so that, on the continued rotation of the handle, the nut rotates independently of the stem, and raises the latter to extract the cork. Instead of the two pivoted arms, one pivoted arm and one fixed arm may be employed.
Patent GB-190002879-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Illuminating Devices.
Inventor: MARE FREDERIC DE
Filed: 1900-02-13
Granted: 1901-03-13
Abstract: 2879. Mare, F. de. Feb. 13. Ornamental effects.-Lamps A, Fig. 12, for decorating or illuminating, are surrounded by revolving-devices having curved blades 39, or flat blades placed nearly radially, driven by draughts, wind, or electric or other motors. A device with curved blades may be made from a hexagonal sheet of coloured or printed paraffined or varnished paper, gelatine, celluloid, waterproof cloth, pegamoid, or other material, divided radially nearly to the centre, which is strengthened with a thin copper disc having tongues to hold the paper and to centre the devipe by bearing against the lampholder ; each blade has a small hexagonal hole at an outer corner, which is turned over, and secured on a short bolt, or by tongues on a metal ring, to rotate on a pin carried by a wire support on the lamp holder. The lamps may be carried by straight, bent, T-shaped, or branching tubular supports 43, Fig. 4, of metal, cane, or varnished paper. Each tube may be hung by a wooden block 47 and one or two hooks 50 on a stretched chain of long links ; two metal cylinders 49, each provided with three binding-screws, are fixed in holes in the block, and connected by wires through the tube 43 with the lamp or lamps, and by pairs of conductors with adjacent supports on the chain. When an electric motor is used, the blades are tied to light toothed wheels. On aT-shaped support, these gear with pinions on the ends of the motor shaft, an intermediate wheel being used on one arm, if desired, to change the direction of rotation. The motor has a laminated armature with three radial poles, and a laminated field magnet having consequent poles and two exciting coils, bolted between end discs. The whole is enclosed to protect it from weather. On a support having three radial arms, the toothed wheels 19, Fig. 18, all gear with crown teeth 22 on the rim of the motor armature, which has three radial poles 23 with extended pole-faces, co-operating with a similarly constructed two-pole field magnet 25. On a three-branched support, the outer branches being curved, the toothed wheels gear with pinions on flexible shafts, which extend along the branches and are geared to a motor at the base. A number of devices may be driven by a belt from one motor. The motor may be in series with the group of lamps connected in parallel. Flat radial blades are secured by tongues between two parallel thin metal rings, which are connected by parallel wires, and may be used on any lamp. The outer edges of the blades may be cut to any desired forms.

Title: An Improved Means for Automatically Actuating the Doors of Elevator- or Lift-wells.
Inventor: JOHANSON ANDERS
Filed: 1900-12-05
Granted: 1901-01-05
Abstract: 22,090. Johanson, A. Dec. 5 Lifts, well doors for. Fig. 1 shows a view of the well door from the interior of the lift, and Fig. 2 a section on the line A-B, Fig. 1. The gate is formed by vertical rods 3 between horizontal bars 4, the upper one of which is fixed to a shaft 5, carrying two fixed pulleys 6, 7, connected by crossed and open belts 8 and 10 to pulleys 9 and 11 on a short shaft 12. The pulley 11 is fixed to the shaft, and the pulley 9 is loose upon it. Bifurcated arms 13 and 14 are fixed to the pulleys 11 and 9 respectively. As the cage ascends to the landing, a projection upon it engages the arm 13, and, raising it, rotates the shaft 15 and thus raises and collapses the gate. As the arm 13 rises, the arm 14 falls. Upon the cage continuing its ascent, a second projection on it engages the arm 14, and again raises it, thus lowering the gate again. Simultaneously the arm 13 is lowered to its starting position. To lock the gate, a sliding arm 15 carries a pin which normally engages with an arm on the shaft 12, and thus locks it. As the cage reaches the landing, a cam upon it pushes the arm 15 on one side, and thus unlocks the shaft 12.

Title: Process and Arrangement for Filling Casks
Inventor: ENZINGER KARL
Filed: 1901-01-23
Granted: 1902-01-16
Abstract: 1599. Enzinger, K. Jan. 23. Filling with liquids.-Beer and other liquids containing carbonic acid are filled into casks against pressure by apparatus such as that shown in Fig. 2. A cylinder 1, mounted on a bracket or arm 3, so as to be turned to any position, is fitted with a piston 6, the rod of which consists of two tubes 7, 8. The inner tube 8 is fitted with a piston 9 having a rod 10 which carries the filling-pipe 13 and inlet pipe 14. The pipe 13 is fitted at the bottom with a valve 15, which automatically opens when the pipe is pressed against the bottom of the cask. Surrounding the pipe 13 is a chamber 16 enclosing a float 23, and connected with the pipe 7 by a slit pipe 17 to which the distributing-box or chamber 18 is secured. The chamber 18, which is connected by the nozzles 24 with a compressed-air reservoir, is in communication with the spaces 19, 20, 21, and 22 of the cylinder 1, and also with the chamber 16, the chamber 18 being opened to any of these, and thus the air pressure being conveyed to them by turning a handle 25, which works a slide 27, Fig. 3, thus admitting air to operate a piston 28, connected with the plugs 29, 30, and 31 so as to actuate these on its ascent and descent. In this manner, the piston 6 is moved downwards to bring the chamber 16 into position over the bunghole; compressed air is then admitted to the cask; and, lastly, the piston 9 is moved downwards until the valve 15, being pressed against the bottom of the cask, opens to admit the liquid. When the cask is filled, the liquid rises in the chamber 16, which serves as a gauge, and the float 23 cuts off the air communication and the flow of liquid. Then the parts are reversed to their normal positions, the liquid in the chamber 16 flowing back to the cask when the tube 13 is withdrawn. In this arrangement, the valves open to exhaust are adjustable to regulate the movements.
