Patent GB-191018277-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Winding Apparatus for Paper, Cloth and the like.
Inventor: ZWINZ FRANZ
IPC: B65H20/24
Filed: 1910-08-02
Granted: 1911-07-13
Abstract: 18,277. Zwinz, F. Aug. 13, 1909, [Convention date]. Winding webs.-Relates to means for intermittently winding fabrics or paper wherein the winding-roller is controlled by a bar resting on the web, and comprises means whereby the driving-gear of the winding-roller is thrown in as soon as a predetermined length of web has accumulated. The invention is described in connexion with a machine for smoothing paper in which a stone 12 on a rod 13 sliding under the influence of a weight or a spring 13<a> in a pivoted bearing 13b is reciprocated by a crank and connecting-rod transversely across the web, and in which the web, as soon as released bv the stone travelling off the edge thereof, is fed forward by a frictionally - driven roller 7, which slips when the web is held. The web passes between the rolls 7, 7<a> beneath a bar 8, over a bar 9, around a bar 10 adapted to ride in the bight of the web and move up and down in a double slot 28<1>, 28<11>, and thence to the winding-roller 11 driven by a belt 45<1> from a clutch on the continuously-running shaft 19 on which the roller 7 is loosely mounted. The driving-clutch of the roll 11 being disengaged, the accumulating web allows the bar 10 to fall in the slot 28" until, on reaching the bottom of the slot, it is raised by a lever 26 oscillated by a cam 24 on a shaft 23, driven by a belt from the shaft 19. The bar 10 thus raised presses a slide 34 to the left until the arm 31 of a lever 32, moved by a spring 33, locks the flange 34<1>. The shaft 8 carries a lever 40 with a conical end 41 which, when rocked by the slide 34, moves the clutch and locks the belt pulley 44 to the shaft and drives the roll 11 to wind the web. This action continues until the rod 10, travelling up the slot 28<1>, rocks the lever 48 and returns the parts to their original positions. The clutch-controlling mechanism may be provided at both sides of the machine, in which case the mechanism would be operated even if one side of the loop should be longer than the other. In a modification, the rod 10 may move in a straight slot and control the switch of an electric motor.

Cinders arrested at the rear of the baffle 21 pass to the front through an opening 45 to collect with those arrested by the partition 25 in a hopper 40 having a discharge door 41.
Patent GB-191024704-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to the Separation of Dust and similar Impurities from and the Humidification of Air and other Gases.
Inventor: HANNA JULIUS
IPC: B01D50/00
Filed: 1910-10-24
Granted: 1911-10-24
Abstract: 24,704. Hanna, J., and Shillington, T. F. Oct. 24. Impurities, separating from air and gases.-Relates to the separation of dust and similar impurities from air and gases, and the humidifying thereof,. being applicable for use in connexion with the textile and other industries and in the ventilation of buildings, factories, mines, &c., and consists in a filtering-device or its equivalent which is automatically cleansed by 'intermittent immersion in a liquid cleansing-medium, the cleansing operation being further facilitated by the discharge of a stream of liquid during the immersion. A screen or filter b<6> composed of cloth, wire gauze, strands of bass or fibre, corrugated or other plates arranged radially, or cords, tubes, rods, or beads of glass or metal, depends from a tank a arranged over a dustladen air conduit a<1>, which may be a chimney, flue, the suction or delivery pipe of a fan or blower, or the outlet from a centrifugal separator. The upper compartment of the tank is gradually filled with water from a service main a<7>, whereupon a float b<1> releases a catch c<4> supporting the tank, which falls by gravity and permits a weighted lever b to cut off the water supply. The filter is thus immersed in an annular trough b<7>, and the conduit a<1> closed meanwhile by a conical projection on the adjustable bottom of the tank. During the fall, the stem of a valve c<5> is arrested, and the water from the tank passes through an annular slit between the bottom and walls of the lower compartment of the tank, and flushes the inner periphery of the filter. The tank is raised by counterweights and automatically re-locked in its .raised position after raising the weighted lever to turn on the water. Water, steam, or compressed air may be supplied through auxiliary spray-pipes c, which may serve as guides for the filter. Steam, hot water, or hot air may also be supplied through pipes e<4> applied externally or internally as desired, or steam or hot water may be supplied to the tank or trough. In a modification, in order to give repeated douches or plunges to the filter, a reciprocating movement is imparted to it by eccentrics independently of the movement it receives with the tank. The eccentric shaft is stopped and 'started by belf-shifting mechanism operated automatically by the rising and falling movement of the tank.

Abstract: 3643. Overgaard, C., and Aktielskabet Burmeister & Wains Maskin-og- Skibsbyggeri. Feb. 13. Turning crank-pins and shafts.-Cranks are machined from the solid by end milling - cutters rotating on axes perpendicular to the axis of the shaft, there being relative rotation between the axes of rotation of the cutters and the axis of the shaft in a plane perpendicular to the shaft, and the shaft being supported near the cutters. The shaft is mounted vertically in a pit x, and is supported in a clamp k on a table e which can be rotated by a rack f from gearing in a box H from the motor I, the rate of rotation being increased by friction plates if desired as the diameter of the crankpin decreases. The clamp is fixed to the shaft near the crank to be machined, and is then slid to an eccentric position in which the axis of the crankpin coincides with the axis of rotation of the table. The cutters are mounted in spindles s, s<1> which are supported in slides n, n<1> capable of vertical adjustment in standards l, l<1> by means of screws, these standards also being slidably mounted on guides d, d<1> on which they are adjusted laterally by screws m, m<1> operated from the gearbox H. The crank-pins can be machined wholly cylindrical or with curved ends by adjusting the cutters laterally, Figs. 6 and 7, and for machining the faces of the cranks, the cutters are traversed laterally over the face. When machining the ends of the cranks, the crankshaft is mounted to rotate about an axis between the shaft axis and crank-pin axis, Fig. 8, the inside of the cranks and rest of the shaft being then finished in an ordinary lathe. Milling.-Each standard also supports a motor r, r<1>, which drives the cutters, these being adjusted to and from the work by screws w. w<1> operated from the motor r, r<1>, and adapted to receive lubricant through the pipes z, z<1> from the pipe y in the pit.

Abstract: 20,018. Chikanceff, A. Sept. 2. Refuse-destroying stoves. -A portable or other apparatus adapted to be used, according to its size, as a stove closet, latrine, or other refuse destructor, comprises a funnel or hopper-shaped shoot discharging on to a gas, coal, or other fire, beneath which is an ash-pan and an outlet flue. The apparatus shown in Figs. and 3 consists of a stove closet constructed of two casings 1, la, packed with sand or other filling, which may be brick or other coherent materials such as would enable one or both of the casings to be omitted. Beneath the seat 21 and lid 20 is a copper or other removable funnel 12 leading to the combustion space 1<b>. When the lid 20 is down, an inlet valve 31 admits air to the fire, and the draught passes downwards through the grate 17 into and around the ash-pan 13, and thence to the chimney 8. Doors 2, 2<d>, 3, 3<d>, give access to various parts. The ash-pan 13 is fitted with a pipe-bend e, the upper end of which has a cover 16. The ash-pan fits tightly the space immediately below the grate 17, so that all the combustion products pass into the ash-pan and through the flue e to flues f, g ... j, k in and leading out of the ash-pit, thus heating the ash-pan and evaporating the liquid contents. The chimney l<1> may consist of two metal pipes with a non- conducting filling between them.
