Patent GB-190807655-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Bottle-washing Machines.
Inventor: CHILTON HENRY JOSEPH
Filed: 1908-04-07
Granted: 1908-10-08
Abstract: 7655. Chilton, H. J. April 7. Bottles, washing.-The bottles, inverted in crates intermittently conveyed along the machine, are successively subjected to internal and external brushing, and the crates are finally automatically reversed so as to deliver the bottles upright ready for filling. The external brushing is effected by automatically raising the bottles out of the crates and rotating them against rotary brushes, the bottles then being returned to their former positions. The crates 24 containing the inverted bottles are slid along rails 27 by projections 23 on intermittently-driven chains 22. The interiors of the bottles are cleaned by means of water-fed brushes 31 carried by a vertically reciprocating cross-head 37. Each brush spindle 30 traverses a cupped sleeve 29<1> keyed to a gear-wheel 29, the bottle being thus rotated when the cross-head raises the sleeve into contact with the bottle mouth. The bottles next pass under rotary bottom-cleaning brushes 42<a> supplied with water through pipes 45". Plungers 46 mounted on the cross-head 37 then elevate a row of bottles, the bottoms of which are received by rotary spring-pressed holders 50, the result being that the bottles are revolved against, and cleaned externally by the rotating brushes 52, and are finally deposited in their former positions in the crate. The crate is then seized by a carrier 71, provided with spring catches for holding the crate, and is swung through 180 degrees about the shaft 70 into the position shown in Fig. 1. The mechanism for effecting the movements of the carrier comprises a pinion 69 fixed to the carrier and meshing with a rack 66 driven to and fro by the crank 65, which is rotated intermittently from the shaft 12 through bevelgearing, a mutilated pinion 62, and a pinion 63 carrying the crank.

Title: Improvements in the Manufacture of Carbonic Oxide.
Inventor: LOISEAU OSCAR
Filed: 1908-05-28
Granted: 1908-10-15
Abstract: 11,590. Loiseau, O. May 28. Carbon monoxide is produced from a mixture of oxygen, and carbon dioxide by passing it over incandescent graphite, coke, anthracite, &c., the proportion of carbon dioxide being the less the higher the temperature desired. Carbon monoxide in a less heated state than. is required may be added to the mixture blown in. The carbon monoxide can be used for reduction purposes, such as for the production of tungsten-, chromium-, or manganesesteels, &c., the reduction of bauxite to obtain aluminium or its alloys, and the treatment of the rare earths, or in blast-furnaces for reducing ironores. The reductions may take place within the carbon monoxide generator itself.

Granted: 1909-07-08
Abstract: 25,705. Jamieson, R. T. C. S. Nov. 28. Elastic-fluid turbines.-Relates to turbines of the oppositely-running rotor type, and consists in combining parallel and radial-flow sections working in series, and in providing means for reversing. Motive fluid is admitted by way of pipes D<1> to annular chambers D and thence through fixed guide passages E<1>, Figs. 3 and 6, to curved pockets B', C', in the oppositely-rotating rotors B, C, mounted upon hollow and solid shafts respectively. The motive fluid then passes in a radial direction and successively strikes against blades C<2>, B<2>, mounted upon the rotors C, B, respectively, and after striking fixed blades A<1> to increase the reactive effect, it exhausts into a central annular chamber G connected to the exhaust pipe G'. In reversing- turbines the parallel-flow section is formed with double-concave blades B<1>, C', Fig. 9, adapted to act equally well for either direction of rotation ; an oscillating disk valve H is provided whereby the oppositely-directed guide-passages E<2>, E<3> may be alternatively rendered operative. The radial blades are also made double-convex but are provided with cores L, M, Fig. 10, made integral with continuous side rings, and capable of free oscillation within the limits shown, whereby they assume automatically a lagging position according to the direction of rotation, and so produce radial ways conforming to the requirements of the direction of rotation. The fixed reaction blades in this case are made doubleconvex as shown at A', Fig. 10.
