Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Enclosing in Wrappers Chocolate, Butter Scotch or other Material in the Form of Blocks or Slabs.
Inventor: ROSE HENRY
Filed: 1905-03-30
Granted: 1906-01-04
Abstract: 6769. Rose, H. March 30. Parcelling sweetmeats &c.-In a a device for wrapping-up blocks or slabs of chocolate, butter-scotch. &c.-, each wrapper, as it is fed along the trough 1, Fig. 1, in the manner described in Specification No. 20,183, A.D. 1900, is seized by a pair of grippers 2, 3, which are secured to the rotating carrier-wheel and are opened, against the action of the spring 7, by the arm 10 of the cam-operated lever 9. The wrapper is supplied with a block of material in the manner described in the prior Specification and a plunger presses down the block and wrapper between one of the pairs of spring-pressed pivoted jaws 55 which form the sides of the moulds. As this plunger descends between the fins 100, which ensure the correct rising of the wrapper round the sides of the block, the jaws 2, 3 are opened by the arm 17 of the cam-operated lever 19, and, at the same time, the groove 69 in the camoperated lever 70 engages with the pin 57 on the rod 56 and draws down the wedge 71, thus allowing the jaws 55 to grip the wrapper and block. After the two sides of the wrapper have been folded over the block by the two cam-operated folders 22, 23, the ends are tucked in by pins 36 and blades 35, Fig. 3, secured to arms 34, pivoted to a cross-piece 33, which is oscillated about the pin 29 by the cam 30 to bring the pins 36 and blades 35 beneath the wrapper, and is raised bodily by the cam 139 to produce the folding-operation. The pins 36 raise the central parts 43, Fig. 9, of the projecting ends of the wrapper, while the blades 35 act on the side portions 49. As the carrier-wheel rotates, the projecting parts of the wrapper are folded down on the block by means of curved plates 50 and side flanges 53, Figs. 1 and 3, carried by the flat plate 52. The jaws 55 are opened, to allow the finished article to fall into a receptacle or upon a conveyerbelt, by means of a fixed cam-groove or by the groove 58 in the oscillating piece 59 engaging with the pin 57 and thus pressing outwards the wedge 71. The ends 14 of the jaws 55 are provided with small projecting flanges, which engage the wrapped block and prevent it from falling out as the carrier-wheel rotates.

Granted: 1906-01-18
Abstract: 7319. Rawlins, G. E. H. April 6. Apparatus for developing; dark slides.-Dark slides containing the exposed plates or films are bodily introduced into a developing-vessel and the developer is brought into contact with the plate by withdrawal of the shutter of the dark slide. The dark slide C, Fig. 2, has an inner removable plate holder F, and the resilient tongues or other light-tight packing I prevents light from entering when the shutter A is withdrawn. The shutter projects sufficiently far to be withdrawn when the dark slide is in the developing-vessel, Fig. 4. The latter has a similar light-tight device D, and a circuitous liquid inlet E and air escape H. In a modified form of vessel, one face is open, being closed by the back of the dark slide. The liquid rises through channels into the space formed between the plate and the front of the vessel when the shutter is withdrawn. In another form, Fig. 8, the dark slide itself has a liquid opening L, and channels 0, P lead to the space S between the holder F and the shutter A. The shutter is not withdrawn in this case for developing.

Title: Improvements in the Manufacture of Discharging Pastes for use in the Discharging of Dyed Textile Fabrics.
Inventor: JOHNSON JAMES YATE
Filed: 1905-06-10
Granted: 1905-08-17
Abstract: 12,169. Johnson, J. Y., [Badische Anilin & Soda Fabrik]. June 10. Dyeing.-The discharging power, from vegetable fibre, of a paste containing a hydrosulphite formaldehyde compound, or, better, a formaldehyde sulphoxylate, particularly the sodium salts thereof, is increased by adding to the paste, preferably strongly alkaline, one or more of certain metals or their salts or oxides. The salts or oxides of iron, tin, nickel, cobalt, and mercury, or the metals themselves, are mentioned as available, the first being preferred. For example, to a well-stirred mixture of suitable quantities of roasted starch, calcium-carbonate paste, China-clay, sodium formaldehyde-sulphoxylate, potassium hydrate, and water is added an alkaline iron solution prepared by stirring together cold aqueous solutions of iron chloride and potassium hydrate and adding glycerine. After the material has been printed with the paste, it is steamed for three or four minutes in a Mather-Platt apparatus, washed, acidified with dilute hydrochloric acid or an organic acid, washed, and soaped. Other pastes are described containing respectively basic iron carbonate, finely-divided iron, and finely-divided iron oxide. For coloured discharges, such dyes as indigo, indanthrene, and flavanthrene may be employed, a somewhat weaker acid being used for acidification.

Title: Improvements in Means for Regulating Dynamos.
Inventor: LEITNER HENRY
Filed: 1905-06-19
Granted: 1906-05-10
Abstract: 12,645. Leitner, H. June 19. Dynamos, regulating; field magnets.-To maintain constant both in direction and amount the output of a direct-current dynamo driven from a variable source and charging accumulators &c., the dynamo is provided with additional field poles d, d' arranged between the main field poles f, f<1> and excited solely by current derived from subsidiary brushes c, c<1> upon the commutator. In a bipolar dynamo, the brushes c, c<1> should be placed approximately at right-angles to the main brushes b, b<1>, all the brushes being situated at or near the centres of the pole spans. When there is angular displacement between the commutator bars and the corresponding armature windings, the brushes must be correspondingly displaced. The main field poles f, f<1> are shunt-wound, and, in order that the machine may be self-exciting, they are preferably constructed of hard steel. The auxiliary poles should be of laminated soft iron, and the windings should possess reasonable resistance and produce powerful magnetization. The main field poles remain throughout of constant but varying polarity, whereas the magnetism of the auxiliary poles changes in sign according to the direction of rotation of the armature. The Provisional Specification states that the main field magnets are excited by current from accumulators or any other external source, and that the dynamo charges accumulators (which may excite the field magnets) for lighting lamps &c.

Title: Improvements in, and relating to, Furnaces for Burning Pulverulent Fuel and for Treating Pulverulent Ores
Inventor: ROBESON ANTHONY MAURICE
Filed: 1905-08-09
Granted: 1906-08-09
Abstract: 16,226. Robeson, A. M., and Bettington, C. A. Aug. 9. Pulverulent-fuel furnaces; metallurgical furnaces.-Pulverulent fuel, such as coal dust, is burned, and pulverulent ores treated, by injecting them vertically in a close-topped combustion chamber, so that the products of combustion and the unburned particles, descending, envelop the incoming stream of fuel and air, thus mixing the gases and the air, and preventing the flame from creeping forwards or backwards and going out. Fig. 1 shows a boiler with a primary combustion chamber E into which the coal dust &c. is injected by a pipe D, D<1>; the combustion products passing downwards and through the opening H to the boiler flues. When slag-forming materials, or ores mixed with fluxes, are being burnt, the slag forms a protective lining for the combustion chamber, which is made with overhanging parts S, S<1> to enable the superfluous slag to drop into the water in the receptacle T, whence it is removed by conveyers W, X, or by other means. When pyritic ore is burnt, or in smelting-furnaces, the slag may be removed in cars. In a modification, the burner may be made with several branches D', Fig. 6, and the combustion chamber E is enclosed by an outer arch B', so that cold air may be drawn through the passages G<1>, G<2>, the supply being regulated by a damper G<3>. In other modifications, the combustion chambers E are circular ; that shown in Fig. 7 is lined internally. Air is drawn through and is heated in the jacket G, and passes thence to the cover F<2>, and through the pipe D<5> and the pulverizer D<6> to the burner D', or is led otherwise to the combustion chamber. The furnaces are started by introducing a brazier full of burning wood &c. through the opening shown, or by means of oil, gaS, or other fittings. The draught may be regulated so that the pressure in the combustion chamber may be greater or less than that of the atmosphere.

Abstract: 21,659. Vedrine, A., and Quelen, Count R. de, [trading as Soc. A. Vedrine et Cie]. Oct. 26, 1904; [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Motor road vehicles.-In an electric motor road vehicle, a slow starting speed backwards or forwards is given by means of two pedals, and the higher speeds are obtained by a rheostat acting on the field of the motor, the brake pedal being adapted to cut off the current in operation. On a shaft D, Figs. 1 and 2, are mounted the forward pedal A, fast to the shaft, the backward pedal B, loose on the shaft to the right of the steering-tube, and the brake pedal C, loose on the shaft to the left. Keyed on the shaft is an arm F, which actuates by a link G a simple starting-rheostat H having generally from three to five contacts. The backward pedal B is connected to an arm M, Fig. 3, having at its lower end a circular slot c terminating in a radial notch e, in which engages normally a pin d in a push-bar O which operates the reversing-- device N. On depression of the pedal B, the pin d engaging the notch e reverses the motor, after which the pin slips into the slot c and further depression of the pedal B causes the projections i, h, Fig. 1, on the sleeves attached to the pedals B, A to engage and thus to operate the starting-switch H. When the backward pedal B or the brake pedal C is depressed, one or other of two arms v, Fig. 2, on a shaft L is engaged so as to throw a catch lever y out of a notch z, which it engages in the forward running position, the spring T then returning the starting-switch H to the 'rest' position. The levers v, y are held up to the pedals by a spring x. Higher speeds are obtained by means of the rheostat R, Fig. 6, operated by a lever k, Fig. 4, moving in a circular rack on the steering-wheel Q, by means of a metal cord or wire in a flexible sheath moved oppositely by right and left hand multiple thread screws n, o or by other means. The wire is attached to an eye s in a sector S, attached to the arm carrying the brushes, a notch u in the sector allowing the end a of an arm E fast on the shaft D to pass only when the rheostat is in the rest' position. The arm E is slightly in advance of the starting-arm F, and has the end a jointed to yield against a spring in one direction as shown.
