Title: Feeding Mechanism for Bottle Capping Machines.
Inventor: HEYS WILLIAM GEORGE
IPC: B67B1/00
Filed: 1909-03-19
Granted: 1909-09-16
Abstract: 6602. Heys, W. G., [International Specialities Co.]. March 19. Crown corks and the like, applying.-A feedmechanism for delivering caps in proper position to a bottle-capping machine comprises a wheel, provided with suitable means such as permanent magnets, for collecting the caps one by one from a hopper and delivering them into a shoot, the wheel being operated by a gravity motor in the intervals between the successive capping operations. The feed-mechanism and motor are carried by the reciprocating capping-head 4. The caps pass from a hopper 10 to a casing 8, within which the wheel 13 turns. The wheel is provided with radially-arranged magnets 14, which pick up the caps and transfer them to a passage 16 leading to a delivery shoot. A gate 24, Figs. 3 and 5, checks the passage of caps wrongly presented, and this gate is lifted intermittently by lugs 23 against the action of a spring 26 to prevent jamming of the parts if a magnet picks up two caps, and to cause such caps to fall back on to the flexible bottom 20 of the casing 8. Before passing to the shoot, the caps are stripped off the wheel by a strip of metal 17. The wheel is driven by a shaft 12, driven through a pinion 30 by a weighted rack 31. The speed is limited by a train of gearing and an escapement 35. During the capping- operation, the weight 32 comes in contact with the fixed bracket 5, and, during the further descent of the capping-head, the weight is raised relatively to the capping-head and so stores energy, which is used to drive the shaft 12 when the capping-head is raised. The descent of the rack is limited by an adjustable stop 41.

Filed: 1909-05-10
Granted: 1909-12-09
Abstract: 11,033. Gathmann, E. May 10. Casting processes; moulds.-In order to avoid the formation of pipes or large crystals in the structure of ingots during solidification, the mould A has its lower portion cooled more rapidly than the upper by increasing the radiation therefrom. This may be effected by providing the lower portion with serrations or vertical or horizontal ribs, which may be integral or attached as at a, Fig. 1, or H, Fig. 7, while their upper portion C is thin walled and strengthened by a flange c. This construction causes the lower portion, comprising about 85 per cent of the whole of the ingot, to solidify first, the upper portion feeding the pipe and finally solidifying upwards. A mass of non-conducting inert material, such as calcined lime, or a cover E with a non-conducting mass e<1> attached, is employed after pouring to close the opening.
