Filed: 1905-01-19
Granted: 1905-12-07
Abstract: 1073. British Thomson-Houston Co., [General Electric Co.]. Jan. 19. Switches.-Normally, there is a gap in the circuit between a disk 7, Fig. 3, geared to an electric meter and a switch arm 19 which rests on the turned end 40 of a detent backed by a spring 44. When the detent is pressed back out of engagement, the switch arm is thrown round clockwise by a spring on its arbor and makes contact with a pin 9 on the disk. Current then flows till the disk has turned through the angle between its pins, whereupon the switch arm escapes and regains the detent. Gearing between the two arbors keeps the switching-spring wound up. In a modification, Fig. 4, the switch arm takes the form of a rack 46 which is drawn clear of a fixed contact-pin 7<1> by a pinion 45.

Title: Improvements in Machines for Filling Bottles with Aerated Beverages.
Inventor: COLE REUBEN
Filed: 1905-04-10
Granted: 1905-08-17
Abstract: 7541. Cole, R., and Beavis, C. E. April 10. Bottling.-In a turnover machine for filling bottles with aerated beverages, means are provided for automatically stopping the syrup pump if a bottle is omitted from the bottle holder, for preventing access of leakage liquid to the spindle of the machine, and for obtaining the discharge of air in a dry state from the snift passages. The machine. is provided with three bottle holders 19, 20, 21, Fig. 1, which are of the usual construction and comprise clamps 25 connected to spring-controlled plungers 23, Fig. 10, operated by rollers 31 riding on cams 28 during the revolution of the machine. The syrup pump 11, Fig. 1, is operated by a lever 8, which carries a roller 9 adapted to be engaged by cams 1<a> on the wheel. The roller 9 is kept in contact with the cams by a spring 15 attached to the frame of the machine. If a bottle is omitted from the machine, the plunger 23 of the empty bottle holder continues its travel inwards, and brings a lug 22, Fig. 9, into contact with the toe 18 of a lever 16, Figs. 1 and 9, pivoted in the upper part of the frame, and swings the lever under the head of the pump lever 8, which is thus locked and remains locked until freed by the succeeding cam. To prevent leakage liquid from reaching the spindle 27 of the machine, an annular recess 42, Fig. 12, is formed in the rotating portion 40 of the filling-head; any liquid leaking past the washer 35 collects in this recess, and escapes through holes 43. The snifting passages and ports are arranged in a circle of greater diameter than the circle in which the liquid ports and passages are arranged. The air is thus discharged through separate openings, and at a different time to the charging in of the liquid, so that it escapes in a dry state.

Abstract: 18,357. Lake, H. H., [Laurent, A. G.]. Aug. 15. Extincteurs; chemicals and substances for. -A foamproducing substance, such as extract of liquorice root, is added to one or both of the gas-generating liquids, so that when the latter are mixed a foam is produced and escapes from the discharge nozzle in the form of a jet. The extract of liquorice root may be added in proportions of from 0 05 to 0.5 per cent of the weight of the two liquids, according to the uses for which the extincteur is designed. A reservoir b contains the soda solution and a reservoir a dilute acid. Soldered to the wall of the outer container is a conical partition c, between the upper edge of which and the mouth of the reservoir a is a narrow aperture communicating with a mixing-chamber d. When the extincteur is inverted or tilted, a portion of each liquid flows into the mixing-chamber d, and the flow is then temporarily stopped by the increased pressure, the foam produced being forced out through a nozzle e. Owing to the intermittent flow of the acid and alkali into the mixing-chamber, excessive pressure is avoided. On the extincteur being placed in its upright position, the action ceases. Two slightly modified forms of apparatus for carrying the invention into effect are described in the Specification.

Title: Improvements connected with Machines for Cutting Paper from Rolls.
Inventor: VICKERY FREDERICK WILLIAM
Filed: 1906-10-05
Granted: 1907-08-22
Abstract: 22,047. Vickery, F. W. Oct. 5. Cutting-machines for paper.-In a machine for cutting paper from rolls, the paper is drawn from the side of the roll 1 remote from the machine, so that the natural curl of the paper is always on the underside. This allows the paper to be properly flattened, cut, and carried away, without blowing off the conveyer during transit. The paper 4 passes from the roll through measuring- rollers 5, then through adjustable slitting-rollers 6 which divide it into the desired widths. The paper next passes between guide-rollers 7, over a stationary knife 8, down an adjustable inclined board 9, and then between an adjustable friction roller 10 and a felt or canvas band 11. The paper is severed by a knife 13, carried by a drum 12 and adapted to co-operate with the fixed knife 8. Fingers or wipers 14 on the drum assist the paper down the inclined board, and ensure that the front edge enters between the roller 10 and the band. According to the Provisional Specification, the wipers may be replaced by air nozzles. The front edge of the paper is always under the roller 10 before being cut, and as the band runs faster than the paper, the sheet is pulled tight before being cut.

Granted: 1907-03-07
Abstract: 26,730. John, H. Nov. 24. Shearing; punching.-In a machine for cutting section iron &c. by shearing out a strip, in which the shearing is done in two steps in complex sections, the eccentric-driven carrier 24 for the shear blade 9 is alternately pivoted about pins 25, 26. These pins are connected together by a lever 27, Fig: 4, and are operated by a rack 43 and toothed sector driven through worm gearing from a shaft 14 driven through a friction reversing-mechanism 33, Fig. 1, actuated by a foot-lever. The eccentric 54 operating the shear-blade carrier is driven by gearing from the main shaft 30 through a one-revolution clutch operated by a handle 65. Before this handle can be operated, a pin 66<a>, Fig. 4, engages one of the recesses 68 in the pin 26, and so the blade can be put in action only when one of the pins engages the carrier. The carrier has grooves 51 closed at the end so that the pins can always register with the holes. The weight of the carrier is balanced by a weight 50 operating through a lever 47 and chain 44. Fig. 6 shows the blade acting on one half of a joist, the carrier being pivoted about the pin 25. The side dies 8 are connected together by gearing, and are simultaneously adjusted to suit different sizes of work by turning a handle 23. The dies are inclined so that they do not foul the blade 9, Fig. 6. The bottom die 6 is mounted on a rotatable table 10, and is turned through 180 degrees by worm gearing from the shaft 14 when the point of suspension of the blade 9 is changed. The worm gearing may be put out of engagement when rotation of the dies is not required. A hookshaped stripper 70 is pivoted to the frame of the machine, and is provided with a stop so that it cannot be forced into the blade, which it serves to protect from damage.
