Title: Improvements in Machines for Loading Cartridges.
IPC: F42B33/02
Filed: 1912-08-22
Granted: 1913-02-20
Abstract: 19,290. Nobel's Explosives Co., and Hodge, H. D. Aug. 22. Moving-chamber apparatus for pulverulent materials. - Relates to cartridge-loading machines in which means are provided for supplying to the measurer a quantity of powder slightly in excess of the cartridge charge, each time a cartridge is loaded, and consists in means, actuated by the accumulation of excess powder in the machine, for interrupting the supply when the excess reaches a certain value. In the form shown, the powder is fed into a hopper a located preferably outside the building in which the machine is situated. A measuring- wheel b, Fig. 3, rotating in a casing 3 on a shaft 4 driven from a ratchet-wheel 28 through bevel-gearing, serves to discharge intermittently down the feed-tube c into the container d quantities of powder slightly in excess of the cartridge charge. The ratchet mechanism is actuated through a heavy rod 22 from the shaft f of the machine, on which is a cam 10 which reciprocates a slide 11 carrying a bar 13 engaging an arm 14 pivoted to the container d at 15. A tooth 16 on the arm 14 engages and reciprocates a hook 17 carried by one arm of a bell-crank lever 19, to the other arm of which the rod 22 is pivoted. Turning with the arm 14 on the pivot pin 15 is a shorter arm 32 carrying a plunger 33 working in the container d. When the accumulation of powder in the container due to the excess of the feed over the charge becomes excessive, the reciprocation of the plunger 33, and therefore the oscillation of the arm 14, is impeded. The tooth 16 then fails to engage with the hook 17, and the ratchet feed-mechanism is interrupted until the accumulation of powder is sufficiently reduced. To ensure safety in case of explosion, the lower part of the tube c is surrounded by a casing 8, a branch 9 from which opens into the air at some distance from the hopper a. The shaft 5 actuates a tappet mechanism on the casing 3 to prevent the powder from sticking in the pipe 1 of the container a.

Title: Improved Draught Regulator for Boiler and the like Furnaces.
Inventor: ROBINET HEINRICH JULIUS
Filed: 1913-01-29
Granted: 1913-07-03
Abstract: 2411. Robinet, H. J. Jan. 29, 1912, [Convention date]. [Addition to 19,320/11.] Draught, regulating.-The draught in a boiler furnace, in addition to being controlled by the steam pressure of the boiler as described in the parent Specification, is adapted to be non- trolled by opening and closing the furnace door. The furnace damper is operated by electricmotors p, r, Fig. 1, the motor p being connected through the circuit q, O to the contact n on the pressure gauge and the motor r being connected through the circuit t, S with the contact o of the pressure gauge. The contacts n, o are also connected electrically to the source of power which supplies current to the main circuit R. The furnace door a is connected by a crank b and arm c with a sliding plate d, carrying double contacts h, i, which is moved to the right, as shown in Fig. 5, by opening the furnace door carrying with it the bar f, which also carries contacts k, l, m. The circuits O, S are thus interrupted, and the circuit R is connected through the contact i and circuit t with the motor r which serves to close the damper. Upon closing the furnace door, the plate d returns to its original position, as shown in Fig. 6, and connects the circuit R through the contact h and circuit q with the motor p which serves to raise the damper. The plate f remains in the position shown in Fig. 5 owing to the lost motion between the pin e on the plate d and the plate f with which the pin e engages by a slot g. While the damper is being raised, the projection x engages with the contact lever y and breaks the circuit supplying the motor p, at the same time actuating the arm z and cord 2, which brings the plate f back to the position shown in Fig. 1. The pressure-gauge control through the circuits O. S is thus restored.

Granted: 1914-06-25
Abstract: 26,490. Marks, E. C. R., [Naamlooze Vennootschap Machinefabriek voorhen Jansen & Sutorius]. Nov. 18. Bottling.-In a counterpressure bottling- machine; means are provided for equalizing the pressures within the bottle, the soda - water container, and the syrupmeasuring vessel before commencing the filling operation, the syrup and water then passing through a mixing-valve and entering the bottle together. In operation, the bottle to be filled is pressed up to the filling- nozzle 19, Fig. 1, on the casing 20 of the mixing- valve, by a bow 14 and an arrangement of levers which simultaneously closes a guard 22 and lowers a rod 16, a hook 17 on which engages an eye 18 of a three-armed lever, thus operating limbs 23, 24 of the lever to open the pressure - equalizing and mixing valves respectively. Owing to the arrangement of the lever arms and co - operating parts the pressure-equalizing valve is first opened by the arm 23engaging an abutment 27, Figs. 1 and 6, on the valve-spindle, and admits pressure from the aerated-water container 2 to the bottle, and also, via the filling-head and a pipe 34, Figs. 1 and 3, to the syrup-measuring vessel 6. The pressure also passes up a pipe 39 and operates a spring-controlled valve 38, the syrup then passing to the mixing- valve and joining the soda-water. When the bottle is full, the hook 17 is released from the eye 18 of the lever 16 by a handle 41 and the mixing and pressure-equalizing valves are closed by their springs the pressure in the bottle then passing through the hollow spindle 44, Fig. 6, of the equalizing - valve, depressing the abutment 27, and escaping by a nozzle 45. The pressure being reduced, the bow 14 is lowered and the bottle removed. The valve 38 closes by its spring, and the syrup-measuring chamber refills from the container 3, Fig. 1.
