Title: Improvements in Splicing the Ends of Ropes and in Means therefor.
Inventor: MELLAND WILLIAM
Filed: 1906-06-14
Granted: 1907-06-13
Abstract: 13,646. Melland, W., and Nield, W. H. June 14. Splicing ropes.-A flexible wire or other link coupling b is employed, and the unravelled strands are wound spirally round the link in such manner as to retain the original contour. To make the splice, the length of rope required for the joint is measured from each end and unravelled, a band being tied round to prevent further unravelling. The bottom strand 1, Fig. 1, is threaded up through the loop b<1> and pulled as far through as it will go. One of the other strands is next threaded downwards through the same loop. The strands are then wound spirally round the coupling, the first strand being drawn through the loop b<2>, the second through the loop b', and the third through the loop b<4> as shown in Fig. 2. The other end is treated in the same way starting from the other end of the coupling so that the complete splice is as shown in Fig. 3. Fig. 5 shows the splicing of a four-strand rope with a coupling having four loops, the intermediate loops each h having two strands from each end. The invention may be applied to ropes having more than four strands and the threading of the strands may be varied, but it is desirable that at least two strands be threaded through each end loop. In order to prevent the loops of the coupling from spreading or creeping under the torsional strain, each or any loop may be wrapped with cotton twine or the like, the ends of which may be joined to form an endless and practically inextensible band. This invention is stated to be a development of that described in Specification No. 12,913, A.D. 1903.
Patent GB-190623221-A (GB)
Title: Machine for Filling and Sealing Tubular Containers.
Inventor: WERLE GEORG
Filed: 1906-10-19
Granted: 1907-03-21
Abstract: 23,221. Werle, G. Oct. 19. Tubular containers, filling.-Relates to a machine for filling tubes or tubular containers, and for subsequently flattening and folding the ends of the tubes to seal the filling apertures. The tubes are placed in holders 40 on an intermittently rotated table 39. The material to be filled into the tubes is contained in a supply cylinder 3, for which it is discharged in predetermined quantities by a piston 4. The piston 4 and the parts in connexion with it are mounted on a pivoted bridge-piece, so that they can be turned clear of the cylinder 3 while the latter is filled. The piston is moved by a rack and pinion 5, 9 operated by a ratchet 10 and a pawl 11 mounted on a shaft 12, connected by a pitman 13 and lever 15 with an operating-cam on the main shaft 2. The point of connexion of the pitman 13 with the lever 12 may be varied, to adjust the feed of the ratchet, and, consequently, the quantity of material discharged. In front of the discharge opening 17 of the cylinder 3 is a slide 19 adapted to receive an interchangeable filling-tube 22 adapted to fit, and in its lowermost position to reach to the bottom of, the tubular container. A piston 37 adapted to fit the tube 22 is fixed to the cylinder. The slide 19 is operated by the levers 23, 24 and a cam on the main shaft. In operation, the material is first forced into the tube 22, and then, as the tube and slide are raised, the material is forced into the container by the piston. While this is taking place, a cam on the main shaft releases a lever 46, and the table 39 is pulled upwards by a spring 48, the movement being resisted by the pressure of the material. This action avoids the formation of air bubbles during the filling. When the container is full, the cam restores the table to its initial position, and tongs 50, 51 are operated by links 52, 53 and a lever 54 to flatten the container at the filling aperture. The table 39 is next partly rotated to bring the flattened container in front of the folding- device. This consists of a flap 26, Figs. 4, 5, 6, and 7, provided on its outer surface with a toothed wheel 27, Fig. l, gearing with a rack-bar 28, operated by a lever 29 and a cam on the main shaft. A lever 32, operated by a pitman 33, lever 34, and cam 35, is provided to hold the container in the folding plane until the flap has turned through ninety degrees, Fig. 5, when it is withdrawn. At the conclusion of the fold, Fig. 6, the table 39 is raised through the thickness of the fold, Fig. 7, and the operation is repeated to form a second fold. The finished containers may be removed by hand, or ejected from their holders by upwardly-moving followers.

Filed: 1907-09-10
Granted: 1908-03-19
Abstract: 20,193. Schroeder, W. S. Feb. 4, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Couplings, automatic. - In a coupling of the Janney type having the knuckle locked by a longitudinal bar operated by a lifting-pin, the cooperating parts are formed so that the pin, when raised, will be forced forwards at its lower end either to rest upon a lock-set seat or to act as a knuckle-opener, but will be moved backwards so as to escape the lock-set seat as the knuckle closes. The knuckle-tail 5 has a vertical face 26 which bears in the locked position against a similar face on the head 7 of a locking-bar 6, pivoted at its rear end and adapted to be operated by a pin 12. The pin and locking-bar are formed with co-operating inclines 16, 18 and 17, 19 as shown in Figs. 1 and 3, while the lower end of the pin has a cam-surface 21 adapted to engage the knuckle-tail, which is inclined rearwardly and upwardly as shown at 27, 28, Fig. 7. As the pin is lifted, the inclines 17, 19 engage and force the toe 20 of the pin forward so that, if released, it will rest upon a lock-set seat 22 ; while if the lifting is continued, the cam 21 engages the incline 28 of the knuckle-tail so as to open the knuckle. As the knuckle opens, the locking-bar is raised by the incline 27 of the knuckle-tail, so that the inclines 16, 18 engage, as shown in Fig. 3, and move the toe of the pin backwards. This backward movement is continued by a further co-operation of the inclines 16, 18 as the knuckle closes, so that the pin drops free of the seat 22. The removal of the pin from the seat 22 as the knuckle opens is further ensured by the engagement of the knuckle-tail with a projection 23 of the pin. The incline 28 cf the knuckle-tail is convexed in order that the engagement of the toe 20 of the pin therewith will more surely effect the opening of the knuckle.
