Abstract: 13,542. Hill, T. June 4. Bottles, washing. - Machines for washing bottles &c., of the type in which suspended openwork trays are. rotated in a solution of chemicals in a soaking-tank, are constructed with rinsing-tanks and a brushing-apparatus, so that the bottles are soaked, rinsed, and brushed in turn, while the soaking-tank is provided with a hand-operated device for inverting the trays to drain the bottles before they are removed to the rinsing-tanks. Fig. 4 shows the machine comprising a soaking-tank A, two rinsing-tanks K having openwork false bottoms L, and a brushing-apparatus M. The apparatus is arranged so that an operator standing between the rinsing-tanks can remove the bottles by hand from the soaking-machine, place them first in the rinsing-tanks, and afterwards on the brushes of the brushing-apparatus. The trays B of the soaking-tank are inverted by inserting a hand-lever J into a hole in a metal strap fixed on each tray. A hook or the like attached to a chain J<1>, or a forked extension of the hand-lever, engages the lid of the crate and retains the bottles in the inverted crates, while bolts G retain the crates on the carriers.

Screwing.-In a die-stock for screwing pipes, bolts, &c., of the type in which the dies are radially adjusted by a cam-plate having a single continuous cam groove, which is within the angle of repose so that end thrust does not move the dies or cam, the cam-groove 6 is so steep that a part only of a single revolution of the cam-plate 4 is needed to adjust the dies 2 to any of the cutting positions, whereby the same set of dies may be used to thread work of different sizes. The end of the groove terminates in a radial cut-out 7 to facilitate removal of the dies. The plate is held on the housing by a ring 5, to which it may be locked by a screw 8 to prevent accidental displacement. The pipe-engaging members 9 are radially adjusted by a cam-plate 10, Fig. 4, having two overlapping ribs 13, one of which engages one groove in the jaws before the other is disengaged. The ribs also are shaped to afford resistance against end thrust, and are square in section so as to remove dirt from the jaws.

Abstract: 2324. Potter, W. S. Dec. 28, 1911, [Convention date]. Annealing; hardening.-Relates to the production of wrought shapes of manganese steel, and consists in conducting the operations of casting, heat treatment, working, and final quenching under particular conditions. The metal is poured at a temperature only slightly above its freezing-point, being cooled to such a temperature if necessary by the addition of hot or cold lump metal or manganese-steel scrap, the ingot being brought in the mould to a nearly uniform temperature of about 1,100-1,225‹ C. The stripped ingot is next brought to a uniform temperature of 1,125-1,225‹ C. in a soaking-pit or heating-furnace. The metal is then worked, the finishing temperature being below 1,075‹ C., and immediately quenched, preferably from about 950‹ C. ; or it may be cooled and reheated before the quenching, if necessary. The working may be performed in more than one stage with intermediate re-heatings, the final working temperature being between 800‹ and 1,075‹ C. The metal may be finally reheated to about 1,000 C., equalized at that temperature for a short time, and quenched. In cases in which the ingot is cast in the usual manner and considerably cooled externally, the operations are as follows: -The ingot is placed in a soaking- pit at about 1,000‹ C., gradually raised to 1,050‹ C., equalized at that temperature, raised to above 1,125‹ C., held at that temperature for a time, worked until at about 950‹ C., and quenched; or it may be quickly cooled, reheated to about 1,000‹ C. and quenched. Specification 1479/12 is referred to.
