Granted: 1904-08-11
Abstract: 15,282. Reed, W. A. July 9, A.D. 1903, [date applied for under Patents Act, A.D. 1901]. Coating surfaces with plastic materials.-A wax-applying roller consists of an outer asbestos ring c, Fig. 2, mounted on a hollow cylindrical hub a, which may be heated by a burner b. The hub is rotated on a shaft e, and the surface to be treated is pressed against the asbestos, which has previously absorbed wax. The asbestos ring is made of a number of washer discs secured together and to the hub by rivets a<3>, which pass through a flange a<2> on the hub and have locking- washers a<4> at each end. The flange a<2> is hollow to provide a chamber a<5> into which the flame is projected. Fig. 6 shows a similar roller. The hub is made in two parts screwed together, and has flanges a<6> which prevent shifting of the discs. Nails a<7> are used in this case at eachend to secure the discs. The asbestos may be entirely enveloped in a woven or other fabric c<2> and the separate discs replaced by a roll of asbestos sheeting which is wrapped round the hub. Connection between the hub and the shaft e is effected by a spider, Fig. 7, which fits into the hub and has a sleeve 4 which is fixed to the shaft by a setscrew. A flange 3 butts against one end of the hub, and a complementary part, Fig. 8, slides over the sleeve 4 and is attached to the spider by screws 7 which take into holes 8. In the screwed-up position, the flange 6 butts against the other end of the hub, and the latter thus rotates with the shaft. The working surface of the roller may be of any shape such as in the right-hand side of Fig. 2, the shaft in this case being extended to the other side of the frame.

Title: Improvements in Bottle-corking Machines.
Inventor: ROSENTHAL PHILIPP
Filed: 1904-08-24
Granted: 1904-10-13
Abstract: 18,366. Rosenthal, P., and Petran, W. Aug. 24. Corking. - R elates to a machine for corking bottles with corks covered with paper discs. The main shaft 3, Fig. 3, drives an auxiliary shaft 4 by screw wheels 6, 7. A cylinder 38, which is driven by tooth gearing from the shaft 4, is provided with a groove 37 which engages a pin 60, setting up thereby a reciprocating motion in the slide 35. The paperdisc is punched from a strip by the punch 24, and deposited in a recess 36 formed in the end of the slide 35 It is then carried forward to the position shown, and driven into the neck of the bottle together with the cork by the plunger 11. The circular punch 24 is forced down one every revolution of the shaft 4 by an eccentric 8, and carries with it a sleeve or clamp 23. Upon the clamp 23 reaching the paper, which is contained in a slot 17, the spring 31, which engages the pins 32 fixed to the clamp 23, is compressed, thus allowing the clamp to hold the paper while the punch 24 continues to descend and cuts out the disc. A plunger 25 actuated by a roller 34 upon the eccentric 8 descends and pushes the disc into the recess 36. The punch 24 and the plunger 25 are kept up by the springs 27, 29 respectively. The form of the cutting-edge of the punch, shown separately in Fig. 7, is designed to give a serrated edge to the paper disc. The corks are contained in a tube 42. The lowest cork a is carried backwards by a gripper 45, which is connected by a rod to an eccentric 44 on.the shaft 4 and compressed against a corresponding semicircular piece 47. The plunger 11, which is driven by a crank 9, drives the cork into the bottle. The paper strip passes through a flat tube, and is drawn forward intermittently by a sector engaging a roller. The sector is rotated by screw gearing from the shaft 3. A similar set of feed rollers is provided at the entrance of the tube, to ease the strain on the strip and prevent it from breaking. A bottle-rest is attached to the end of a weighted lever, the opposite end of which is held down during the corking operation by a stem 50. This stem is prevented from rising by a bolt 51, Fig. 3, which is pressed back against the action of a spring 54 by a pin 53 attached to the slide 35.

Title: Improvements in Compressed Air Hammers
Inventor: GLOSSOP FREDERIC HENRY
Filed: 1905-05-10
Granted: 1906-02-15
Abstract: 9833. Glossop, F. H. May 10. Steam and other fluid-pressure hammers.-The piston distributing-valve is moved, for the blow, by a footlever and by a spring to raise the hammer. The valve-chest is open at the ends to the atmosphere, and is supplied with compressed air at the middle. Pipes h, j lead from ports g, i to the ends of the cylinder. When the valve is in its central position, both ports are open to the atmosphere. A link k connects the valve-spindle to one arm of a lever on a spindle m. The other arm of the lever is connected by a link n to a foot-lever. The valve is moved for the upward stroke of the hammer by the action of a spring y, Fig. 3, on a lever x on the spindle m. The motion of the lever is limited by adjustable stops 1, 2, and the lever when tilted is returned to the vertical position by the action of a pin e on the hammer head. A recess z is formed in the lever at the level of the shaft m. A tup-retaining catch s, Fig. 1, is operated by a piston q in a differential cylinder p. A spring v adjustable by a screw tends to push the catch forward, but when the hammer makes a stroke the catch is withdrawn by the action of compressed air, admitted through pipes, un the end of the piston or on its annular surface. The catch is not withdrawn unless the air pressure is sufficient to work the hammer.

Title: An Improved Machine for Automatically Testing the Correct Weight of Parcels of Goods and other Articles and for Sorting those in which the Weight is Incorrect.
Inventor: RICHARDSON HENRY
Filed: 1905-10-02
Granted: 1906-07-12
Abstract: 19,830. Richardson, H. Oct. 2. Coins and the like, separating and testing.-Relates to a machine for automatically separating parcels, coins, &c. into three classes, namely those that are of the weight required and those that are over and under that weight. The articles pass to the left along the conveyer c' until they press against a finger i and a stop f. The arm i<2> is thus placed in the path of an arm attached to the hinged, pusher g. This,pusher is reciprocated by the rod g<1>, lever g<2>, and cam-groove h<1>. The arm i<2> lowers the pusher g so as to engage the article and push it on to the scale e<6>. The beam e turns on its bearing e<1> and the' terminal knife e<9> and antifriction roller e<8> take up one of the three vertical positions. The beam is: kept in this position by a cam p having channels p', p<2>, p3, along any one of which the roller e<8> passes. If the article is too light, it is pushed by the pusher k<4> on to the shoot m. If it is of correct weight, the pusher k<4> passes freely over it, but the hinged pawl k<6> beneath the pusher engages with the article on its back stroke and draws it on to the shoot n. If the article is too heavy, the pusher k<4> and its pawl pass freely over it, and it is pushed from the scale e<6> on to the shoot o by the pusher g acting against the next article on the conveyer c<1>. The pusher k<4> is worked by the cam-groove h<2> and lever k<1>. When the article is considerably over weight, a loose weight r is raised from a fixed bracket r<3> by a rod r<1> carried by the beam.
