Patent GB-190919846-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Machines for Folding Letters and Putting them into Envelopes.
Inventor: BUENNIG MAX
IPC: B43M3/02
Filed: 1909-08-30
Granted: 1910-03-10
Abstract: 19,846. B³nnig, M. Aug. 29, 1908, [Convention date]. Coating webs.-In a machine for folding letters and putting them into envelopes, a pivoted arm 4, actuated by cams 8 on a shaft 7, carries pushers 9, 10 arranged perpendicularly to one another. The pusher 9 forces a letter ' laid on a table 11 between rollers 12, 13, whence the letter is conveyed up to a stop 44 by belts 15, 17 and 16, 18, which are stretched by weights 14 or otherwise. The pusher 10 forces the letter lying against the stop 44, together with an envelope blank beneath it, between rollers 19, 20 arranged at right-angles to the rollers 12, 13, thus folding the letter twice and enclosing it in the envelope, the edges of which are gummed. The envelope blanks, which may have transparent parts, are arranged in a box, with means for taking off the top blank when separate blanks are used, or, if in the form of a continuous strip 50, are wound on roller 25, mounted on a cross-frame. When a continuous strip is used, it is passed over a series of rollers 51, 52, 53 and then under longitudinal damping- stamps 27 and a cross-stamp 29, which is held down by a rotating disk 31 bearing against it, or against a roller 32 thereon, until a recess 30 in the' disk allows the stamp to be pressed against the gum on the strip by a spring 28. The disk 31 may be mounted on its own axle or on one of two rollers 33, 35, which are preferably rubber-covered, and between which and two other rollers 34, 36 the strip 50 passes. The rollers 34, 36 are adapted to be periodically and successively raised by cams 37, 38 to avoid soiling by the gummed strip. A severing-device consists of a slot 42 actuated by a lever 40 and a spring 41 to clamp the strip upon a roller 43 just behind the line of perforations, so that the pull of the rollers 19, 20 tears off the envelope. A knife may be substituted for dividing the strip if there are no perforations. An extra set of rollers and belts may be provided to give the letters another fold before being folded into the envelope. The stamps 27, 29 may serve to gum a plain strip.

Title: Improvements in Machines for Making Cone or Kite Shaped Bags.
Inventor: STRONG ALFRED GEORGE
IPC: B31B25/00
Filed: 1909-10-05
Granted: 1910-08-18
Abstract: 22,638. Strong, A. G. Oct. 5. Paper bags, making. - In a machine for making conical or kite-shaped paper bags, a web of paper is drawn from a roll a by feed-rollers b, b<1> and passes a gummer a<1>, by which it has one edge gummed. The paper is carried forward to feedrollers c, c<1> passing between cutters d, d<1>, by which it is cut into blanks. In order to check the feed momentarily while the cutting is taking place, the roll b<1> has a longitudinal groove or flattened part. The cut blank passes beneath a reciprocating blade e<2> which presses it between folding rollers e, e<1>, placed diagonally beneath the table of the machine. The roller e<1> has a spiral groove cut in its surface which coincides with the gummed edge as the blank passes through and thus prevents the gum from smearing the rollers. The partly-folded blank is next carried by feed tapes and deposited on stops in front of a second pair of folding-rollers i, i<1>, arranged to make an angle of about 45 degrees with the first folding- rollers. A reciprocating blade presses the blank between the rollers and completes the bag.

Abstract: 5740. Booth, J. E. March 7. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Arrangement; electrolytes, circulating; gas collectors.-Zinc is dissolved in dilute sulphuric acid with the production of electric current, the hydrogen evolved being collected, and the zinc sulphate solution is treated with sodium bicarbbnate or with a precipitant for the production of zinc oxide. The zinc, contained in perforated vessels a supported on cross-pieces in a vessel b, is sprayed with acid from a perforated pipe c receiving acid from tanks f by way of a valve j and vessel e. A tray 13 with divisions 14 arranged beneath the zinc cells carries carbon, copper, or other suitable electrodes. The hydrogen after passing through a perforated plate k and packing-material such as hair l in a vessel m, passes by a pipe n to a weighted bell h, which operates the valve j so as to control the admission of the acid. The acid passes from the tank b under the pressure of the hydrogen back to the tank f by the path o, p, q when the valve j is closed. When the acid is neutralized, it is drawn off through a valve s to a tank t, which, together with a tank v containing sodium bicarbonate and water, is heated by gas from the bell h.
