Abstract: 21,454. Joy, C. L. Sept. 15. Disk and wheel apparatus. - A machine for buffing cutlery to give a final polish is constructed so that the blade is moved across the buffing - wheel with one half of one side of the blade in contact with the wheel, and is then turned slightly to present the other half of the same side of the blade for buffing on the return stroke, and on the completion of the operation, the blade is taken abruptly a w a y from the buffing-wheel, approximately at rightangles to its surface. The blade-holder 41 is mounted on arms pivoted upon members 38, 39 carried by a sleeve 37 mounted upon the cylindrical end 36 of a square bar 34, which is carried in longitudinal guides 35. The bar 34 is moved to-and-fro to carry the knife over the buffing-wheel by a lever 29, adjustably pivoted at 27, and actuated by a groove-cam 24 engaging a bowl 25 on the lever. A cam-surface 56 is engaged by a lever connected with the blade-holder to keep the blade away from the buffing-wheel 4, and on movement of the bar 34, the lever slips off the camsurface and allows one side of one face of the blade to be moved along in contact with the buffing-wheel 4. At the end of the travel of the blade, a cam 60 on the shaft 22 raises a surface 65, upon which runs a lever 67 integral with the sleeve 37, and consequently turns the sleeve 37 carrying the blade-holder and causes the other side of the same blade face to be brought into contact with the buffing-wheel 4 during the return stroke. At the end of this stroke, the cam-surface 56 causes the blade to be abruptly moved away from the buffing-wheel. The duration of travel of the bar 34 is regulated by a pin 74, which is carried by the starting- lever 78, and which, according to its vertical adjustment, enters the required point in a scroll 72, on escaping from which it allows movement of the connected levers 78, 80 to shift the belt 5 from the fast pulley 11 to the loose pulley 10 of the main driving-shaft 12.

Title: Apparatus for Making Block Bottom Bags or Pockets from Flat Sheets of Paper or other Material.
Inventor: MOLINS WALTER EVERETT
IPC: B31B3/46
Filed: 1911-01-16
Granted: 1912-01-11
Abstract: 1116. Molins, W. E. Jan. 16. Paper bags, making.-A machine for making block-bottomed packets of the kind shown in Fig. 5 completes the formation of the packet in one operation, and, by duplicating certain parts, it may be arranged to produce both a packet and a shell at one operation. The gummed bag-paper x<1>, Fig. 8, is placed on a table formed by two flat plates 9, 10. A plunger 4 descends on the paper, and, by forcing it through the space between the plates, folds it up to form the front and back of the packet. The plunger, continuing its movement, next engages members 19 attached to pivoted folders 15 whereby the folders are rotated about their pivots to fold the sides of the packet against the plunger. The members 19 are hinged to the folders 15, and, after turning the folders, they yield to the pressure of the plunger against the tension of a spring 20 and turn into a vertical position thus folding up the projecting portions at the bottom of the sides of the packet as the plunger passes. The plunger continues its movement and passes between scroll folders 21, which fold the remaining sides of the packet. The completed packet is finally carried past rollers 22, which press the folded sides, into a heating-chamber a where the gum is dried. The plunger now commences its up-stroke, and the packet is removed by springs 24. The packet remains in the heater until it is pushed out by the succeeding packet. If the packet is to be made with an inner packet, the cut and gummed blank x<11>, Fig. 15, is placed so that it rests on the upper surfaces of members 26, 28, Fig. 8, and is pressed down between these members by the plunger 4. One side of the packet is folded up by the member 28, and the other side and the two side extensions 1<a>, Fig. 15, are folded by a pivoted folder which is actuated when the plunger engages a tailpiece 27<c>. The bottom extensions 2 are turned up by contact with fixed folders 29 and the remaining sides 1 are folded bv the folders 15 simultaneously with the first sides of the outer casing as described.

Title: Improvements in Means for Lighting Gas from a Distance.
Inventor: ANDERSON HENRY
Filed: 1911-04-28
Granted: 1911-11-02
Abstract: 10,285. Anderson, H. April 28. Lighting burners by frictional devices.-Relates to pyrophoric devices for lighting gas from a distance. The device is operated by a wire or cord 9 secured to a drum 5 on the barrel of the gas cock 1, which is secured to a bracket 7 by a coil-spring 6. The igniting-spark is produced by a hammer 14, which strikes the pyrophoric metal 15, and is connected by a wire or cord 17 to a loose pulley 16 on the axle of the drum 5. The pulley 16 is coupled to the drum 5 by a spring 21, which lies in a notch 22 in the drum, and is released by a catch 23 when a quarter-turn of the drum and the gas-cock is nearly completed. The hammer 14 is then brought down upon the pyrophoric metal 15 by a spring in the chamber 19. The metal 15 may be enclosed in a funnel 24. In modifications, the spark may be produced by friction between the pyrophoric metal 49 and a file 52, Fig. 6 ; or between the metal 29 and a rotary disk 27, Fig. 7, controlled by the cord 17 passing round its axle ; or between a file 38, Fig. 8, and metal 37 on the ends of a double spring 32 operated by hinged flaps 34 on a rod 35, which corresponds to the cord 17. Fig. 3<a> shows a modification in which the loose wheel 16, Fig. 1, is dispensed with, and a rod 40 is attached directly to an extension of the wire 9. The hammer 14 is released by a device in the cylinder 39 ; the rod 40 ends in a cross-piece 42 which engages springs 43 on the hammer. When the wire 9 is pulled and the hammer raised, a pin on the hammer engages a cam slot in the cylinder 39, and turns the hammer until the springs 43 are released from the crosspiece 42, and the hammer is brought down by a coil-spring. The plug cock 1 ends inside the casing 2, and the hole 3 allows the passage of gas as soon as the cock begins to turn. The cock is held in place by a spring 11 secured by a pin 12 to the axle, and adjustable by a screw 13. The cock may alternatively pass through the casing 2 and be hold by a spring 57, Fig. 9. Fig. 10 shows a switch for operating the wire 9, which is secured to the switch lever 59 by a fork 60 having a roller resting on the lever, and held in place by pegs 61. When the lever 59 is pulled over, the fork 60 drops into a recess 63 above the pivot 62. To operate the sparking arrangement after the gas is switched on, a second wire, operated by a bolt 65, rotates the loose wheel 16 independently of the barrel 5, or rotates a second loose wheel arranged to rotate the first.

Viscose; albumens and albuminoids, artificial filaments of ; apparatus for making filaments; treating filaments to prevent adhesion. - The liquids necessary for the treatment of artificial threads from cellulose or its derivatives, such as viscose or casein, or from fibroin &c., are contained in one vessel, preferably in superposed layers. The threads first pass into a layer of rapidly - acting precipitating - liquid, and then into a layer of liquid, almost or entirely non- miscible with the first, less rapidly precipitating than this liquid, and adapted to make the threads non-adhesive. The threads may be coagulated in an aqueous fluid, and led into a second liquid lighter or heavier than the first, such as benzene, oil, nitrobenzene, chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, ether, &c., which prevents mutual adhesion when they are combined to a thicker thread. When the second liquid is heavier than the first, the threads may pass from the second fluid through the first layer again, and also if desired through a liquid floating thereon. The aqueous liquid may be made of higher specific gravity by addition of an inert salt, glycerine, &c., and of lower specific gravity by addition of alcohol, acetone, &c. When viscose solution is used, dilute sulphuric acid is a suitable coagulating-liquid, and an oil is suitable for the second liquid. The coating of oil &c. may be removed by soda solution or an organic solvent such as benzene.

Inventor: PROVAY GIUSEPPE ANTONIO PIETRO
Filed: 1912-05-04
Granted: 1913-04-10
Abstract: 10,632. Provay, G. A. P. May 4. Staiths and elevated structures; rotary tipplers.-In an apparatus for discharging trucks, the trucks are received in a cage which is hoisted and moves a shoot beneath the same, whereupon the contents of the truck are discharged either by dumping or by rotating the cage. The cage consists of a series of connected rings 2 having apertured disks 5, each carrying sections of rail 22, on which is mounted a carriage 27 provided with rails for receiving the trucks 35. The cage is suspended by the bights of two ropes; the bight of one rope passing round pulleys 92 on the cage, the ends being wound on a hoisting-drum 71. The bight of the other rope is passed beneath the cage and around pulleys 93, the ends of the rope being wound round a drum 72. The cage is provided with a curved bar or shoe 119 normally resting on a bolster 11 at the bottom of the hoisting-structure. The hoisting-structure comprises a series of arched columns 13 supporting a platform carrying the hoisting-gear. Guideways 15, which are of circular formation at the upper end, are formed in the columns, and the cage is provided with rollers 17 running in the guideways. The cage is balanced by a series of weights 120 suspended by ropes 123. On hoisting the cage, the drums 71, 72 are rotated in the same direction. As the cage ascends, ropes 146 connected to the balance weights are stretched taut and rotate differential drums 136 round which are wound ropes 141 passing beneath the cage and attached to a pivoted shoot 134, so that after the cage has risen a certain distance, the shoot 134 is raised beneath it into alinement with a fixed shoot 135. The contents of the truck may then be dumped through bottom doors, or the cage may be rotated in the circular part of the guideways 15. This is effected by reversing the direction of rotation of the drum 71 through a reversing gear operated by a hand-wheel 106 on the operator's platform 116. The rails on the carriage 27 are provided with depressions for retaining trucks of various sizes in position. As the cage is rotated, the carriage 27 moves along the rails 22 so that the side of the truck engages a timber lining 39 carried by the apertured disks 5. At the same time, a weighted sector engaging a pinion rotates a series of endless chains carrying cross-rods which move downwards over the truck and clamp it in the cage.
