Title: Improvements in Internal Bottle-stoppers.
Inventor: FOOTE ROBERT
Filed: 1901-03-19
Granted: 1902-02-06
Abstract: 5727. Foote, R. March 19. Stoppers.-The internal stopper a, Fig. 1, is fitted with the usual washer c to make joint with the neck, and is formed with a central hole, which is closed at the lower end by the valve g mounted on the end of the stem d and held against the stopper by the internal pressure. To open the bottle, the valve is first opened by depressing the stem, to release the pressure through suitablyarranged conduits or passages i, after which the whole stopper falls from its seat. The head e of the stem may be fitted with a washer, and serves to prevent the escape of gas &c. through the upper end of the stopper. By making the bead and stem of metal, they serve to weight the stopper so that it drops in correct position into the neck when the bottle is filled. Fig. 4 shows a duplex form of stopper, adapted to act in either position in which it may enter the neck. The washer c is placed in the middle, and a conduit i and a valve g are provided at each end. The valve g may seat against the bottom of the stopper, as shown in Fig. 1, or in a recess therein, as shown in Fig. 4 ; or the valve and racess may both be conical.

Abstract: 25,664. Wise, W. L., [Weinhardt & Just]. Dec. 16. Inhalers ; respirators. - A helmet supplied with fresh air enables persons provided with it to remain in rooms filled with smoke or injurious gases, for example, in case of fires. Air is supplied to the helmet from the main air pipe n by three branch pipes m. The two side pipes m supply air to passages d, c formed in the sides of the helmets, and the middle pipe m supplies air to a pipe e running over the top of the helmet. The air from these three passages is discharged into the atmosphere through an opening c<1> in front of the face of the wearer. This supplies fresh air for breathing, and drives away smoke from the line of vision. Exit of the air, anywhere except at c<1>, is prevented by a leather flap. In a modification, the eyes look through a mica window, and the air is discharged through an opening in front of the mouth.

Granted: 1902-09-25
Abstract: 17,012. Angus, W. Aug. 1 Wood, treating for preserving, dyeing, &c.-The balk or trunk A to be impregnated has a thin slab a cut from it, one face of which is coated with some substance impermeable to colouring and dyeing solutions or not acted on by creosote or other preservatives. The slab is then perforated in a suitable pattern, and pressed against the end of the trunk by a rubber-faced plate f with a nozzle j for supplying the impregnating-solution under pressure. If the whole trunk is to be impregnated, the whole of the centre of the slab is cut out, leaving a narrow ring, but, if a parti-coloured log is to be produced, the slab may be perforated as in Figs. 2 and 2<A>. If the form shown in Fig. 2<A> be adapted, the plate f has a number of nozzles to supply various solutions to the spaces d, while, if the slab shown in Fig. 2 be used, the slab is shifted round to uncover fresh surfaces of the log, or the perforations are filled in and others made. To prevent irregularity in the outline of the colouring, the vertical faces of the perforations may be coated with an impermeable substance. Instead of cutting out a large central portion of the slab, as in Fig. 1, a small hole may be formed, and shallow radiating grooves out in the end of the log to distribute the solution.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for the Manufacture of Corrugated Furnaces and the like.
Inventor: GEARING ERNEST
Filed: 1903-02-18
Granted: 1904-02-04
Abstract: 3865. Gearing, E., and Rainforth, W. Feb. 18. Corrugating.-A flue or tube, such as a furnace flue, having shallow corrugations, is subjected to end pressure while supported internally and externally to form more pronounced or bulbous corrugations, the Provisional Specification stating that the invention is an improvement on the method described in Specification No. 19,485, A.D. 1901. The tube A, Fig. 1, is placed over a mandrel carried by a block 18 sliding on the bed 6 of the machine. In the position shown, a hydraulic ram 25 can pass through the block to raise a spindle 17 in the mandrel and thus expand segments 20, Fig. 4, by toggle-links connecting the segments to the spindle. The segments are prevented from rising by an abutment 26, which can be slid over them by a ram 27. The segments carry segmental rings 21, which slide on them, and are spaced apart to suit the pitch of the corrugations, as shown in Fig. 8, before the segments are expanded. This spacing is effected by raising them by lifting- tackle, the upper ring being connected to the overhead tackle, and the remaining rings being connected to each other by sliding bolts which lift each ring in succession till they are correctly spaced. The rings are held in the raised position by hooks on the segments 20 engaging the upper ring. The block, mandrel, and tube are then moved laterally by an external segment 4<a> until the tube is gripped between this segment and a stationary segment 4<b>, after which a pair of side segments are advanced to complete the external casing or support for the tube, which is then subjected to end pressure by a ram 29 to close the shallow corrugations upon bulbous segmental rings carried by the segments. Each of these segment al rings comprises three parts 7, 8, 9, Fig. 8, the part 9 being wedge shaped so that it may be withdrawn first to allow the parts 7, 8 to collapse when the rings are withdrawn by the return of the segments. The mandrel spindle 17 is drawn down by the ram 25 to collapse the mandrel.

Abstract: 9596. Schumacher, C. F. W. April 28. Paper machines.-Relates to means for use in papermaking machines for coating one or both sides of a web of paper with the ordinary glue and clay material, or with other coating-material. The web 12 passes from the leading-rolls 6, 7 to the rolls 14, 15, of which the upper roll is supplied with the coating-material by means of the roll 13 dipping into the trough 10. The material is spread over the web by brushes 19 actuated by eccentrics 21, the web being supported during this process by the endless belt 16. The web is then dried by passing it round the steam &c. heated drum 2, while jets of air are blown upon it from the perforated pipes 40. Air-drying then takes place as the web passes over the rolls 23, 24, 25, of which the roll 23 is heated and all are adjacent to the drum. The other surface of the web may be coated in a similar way, after which it passes between the terminal rolls of the paper machine.

Granted: 1903-06-25
Abstract: 11,112. Armbruster, W. J., and Morton, J. May 15. Pigment.-A pigment, consisting of an intimate mixture of zinc hydrate, barium sulpbate, and barium carbonate, is prepared by precipitating these substances, either successively or simultaneously, from solutions of zinc sulphate (or a mixture of zinc sulphate and zinc chloride), the hydrate of an alkali metal, soluble barium salts, and the carbonates of alkali metals. An example is given, in which a solution of one molecular proportion of zinc sulphate is mixed with two molecular proportions of sodium hydrate, after which one molecular proportion of sodium carbonate and two molecular proportions of barium sulphide are added. The precipitates may be formed simultaneously, but, in this case barium chloride, nitrate, or acetate must be employed instead of the sulphide. The zinc hydrate in the mixture may be calcined to zinc oxide. Strontium salts may be substituted for barium salts.

Granted: 1903-07-16
Abstract: 12,935. Marks, G. C., [McMillen, E. A., and Leggett, J. A.]. June 9. Wrappers. - Collapsable packing-tubes for incandescent electric lamps and other fragile articles are made of corrugated paper or pasteboard from blank tubes, as shown in Fig. 4. Each tube has a series of tangs 3 at one end, which are bent inwards against the neck of the lamp, as shown in Fig. 3. When the tangs are thus bent, the other end of the tube tends to contract round the bulb 5, and to support it. This contraction may be facilitated by making a row of perforations 6 or indentations 7, which introduce a structural weakness in the tube. The tube may be made with slits 8 and a scalloped edge 9.
