Title: Improvements in Handles and Sockets for Bowls, Shovels, Saucepans, and the like.
Inventor: TITLEY JOHN
Filed: 1908-06-19
Granted: 1909-06-17
Abstract: 13,065. Titley, J. June 19. Making handles.-Combined sockets or handles and tangs for shovels, saucepans, and the like are made from a single sheet-metal blank having two sideway projecting ears at its forward or inner end which are folded upon each other when the blank is shaped to the tubular form and suitably bent in the formation of the tang. The blank, as shown in Fig. 1, is cut out by a pair of tools carried in a press or stamp so as to be concave between the ears a, a<1>, and preferably with a lug a' at the outer end. The main portion is then shaped into two semi-cylindrical corrugations, the inner end of the blank and the ears are set so that the middle portion b is at an angle with the main portion, and the blank is curved, the ears a, a<1> forming sideway extensions of the inclined and curved inner end. A portion b<1> is cut from the inner end, and the main corrugations bent round to come together, the ear a partly overlapping the ear a. These ears are then secured together by a rivet passing through the holes d and the lug a<2>, which may be formed to fit under the opposite side of the metal, and is secured thereto by a rivet. If the lug a<2> is dispensed with the outer end of the tube may be surrounded with a ferrule. Holes d' are provided in the tang, by means of which it may be secured to the article ; or the rivets may be dispensed with, and welding, soldering, or brazing employed instead. If preferred, to strengthen the metal at the outer end, a margin e may be turned over on the blank to produce a double thickness there when the device is finished, and by making the socket of the required length it becomes a handle.

Patent GB-190900119-A (GB)
Title: Inking and Un-inking Mechanism for Rotary Printing Cyclinders.
Inventor: LAFFITTE PAUL ODON
IPC: B41L13/18
Filed: 1909-01-02
Granted: 1909-08-19
Abstract: 119. Laffitte, P. O. Jan. 2. Inking-apparatus.-In a rotary duplicator of the type described in Specification 10,490/05, the ductor roll 26 and the ductor 16 are mounted in guides 4, 12, so as to be vertically and horizontally movable, in order to bring the ductor roll 26 into position either for direct inking of the cylinder 1, or indirect inking through the roll 36. Also, for removing ink from the cylinder 1, either a scraper 47 which bears directly against the roll 36 may be used, or a scraper 31 which cleans the roller 26 and through this the roller 36. The apparatus may be set for direct or indirect inking or ink-removing by the movement of a single lever 25, which is clamped in any position desired by a screw 29 bearing against a sector 28. The lever 25 turns a rod 24 passing through the hollow shaft 2, and carrying levers 22, which, by links 21, raise or lower the guide-plate 12, which is guided vertically. by the slots 19 in the fixed side frames 4, and carries rails 14 on which the ink duct 16 may run. In the position shown in Fig. 1, the roll 26 is in position for direct inking. By a partial turn of the rod 24, the screw 50 engages with a pivoted and adjustable spring-catch 51, and, through levers shown, tilts the pivoted scraper 47 into contact with the roll 36, thus cleaning-off the ink. At the same time, the duct 16 is partially lowered and the roller 26 removed from contact with the drum 1. A further movement of the lever 25 causes the ink duct 16 to move to the left along the rails 14, as well as downwards, under the influence of the slot 17 engaging the stop 18, until the roller 26 touches the roller 36. Indirect inking then commences, the scraper 47 having been drawn back from the roller 36 when the screw 50 passed the lug 51. The quantity of ink supplied varies with the pressure between the two rollers 26, 36, which is regulated by an arm 40 engaging with a pin 41 on the ductor, and also by a screw 45 engaging the end of a lever 46 and moving the roll 36 more or less out of contact with the drum 1, and into contact with the roller 26. At the same time, a pivoted blade 31 is caused to bear against the roller 26 and clean off more or less of the ink. The greater the pressure between the rollers 26, 36, and between the ductor 31 and the roll 26, the less the amount of ink delivered, until, with sufficient pressure, ink is removed. By reversing the movement of the lever 25, the parts are brought back to their previous positions. A cam 64 helps to lift the ductor. When the mechanism is in position for indirect inking, cams 61 pressing on stops 60 on the sliding frame 59 carrying the distributing roller 57, press that roller against the drum 1. The bearings of the rollers 36, 57 are inclined on their faces 62, so that by means of pins 63, the rollers may be reciprocated longitudinally.

Patent GB-190920002-A (GB)
Title: Bottle Soaking and Rinsing Machine.
Inventor: ROYSTON ERNEST RICHARD
Filed: 1909-09-01
Granted: 1910-06-23
Abstract: 20,002. Royston, E. R., [Meyer Supply Co.]. Sept. 1. Bottles, washing.-In bottle-soaking machines of the rotating-drum type, the bottles are automatically supplied and discharged by means of trip mechanism, which normally rotates with the drum, but receives, once per revolution, a retrograde movement relatively to the drum, so that each batch of bottles is supplied to, or discharged from, a row of pockets immediately succeeding the row previously filled or emptied. In the arrangement shown, a number of bottles are laid upon a platform 8 extending across the machine and secured to a rocking-shaft 10. The mouths of the bottles rest against a fixed board 8<1>, and, when the platform is raised, the bottles disengage from the board and slide into the adjacent row of pockets in the drum. The bottles are discharged from the pockets by the opening of a door 16 in the casing 5, and slide down the shoot 24 to the conveyer 3 in the rinsing-tank 2. The platform and door are operated by means of trip arms 11, 22 actuated by trip mechanism, which consists of two arms 45, loosely mounted upon the drum shaft 26, but caused normally to rotate therewith through the medium of spring-controlled pawls 48 pivoted to the arms and engaging with a toothed wheel 39 secured to the shaft. A dog 42, pivoted to the framing of the machine, is oscillated by the passage of each of a number of studs 41 projecting from the wheel 39. When an arm 45 reaches its lowest position, a stud 50 on the pawl 48 engages the dog and the simultaneous actuation of the dog by a pin 41 causes the pawl to disengage from the wheel 39. The pawl then rests upon the outer edge of the tooth previously engaged, until the arm has lagged behind sufficiently for the pawl to engage the next tooth. Each arm 45 thus loses motion during its rotation, so that if, as shown, there are twenty rows of pockets, the bottles are supplied to the rows in the order 1, 11, 2, 12 &c., and each bottle traverses the tank ten times.
