Patent GB-190007591-A (GB)
Title: Machine for Finishing Glass Articles.
Inventor: LENG CHARLES
Filed: 1900-04-24
Granted: 1900-06-30
Abstract: 7591. Leng, C. April 24. Bottle necks, making; finishing.-A machine, for finishing bottles and other glass articles, consists essentially of inner and outer forming-dies, which generally revolve in opposite directions to prevent subjecting the glass to twists or other strains. A rectangular base frame 2 is supported by legs 3, and carries, by means of posts 5, bearings 5', within which are journalled an inner shaft 7 having a pulley 7<1>, and an outer shaft 6 having a pulley 6<1>. The inner end of the shaft 7 is slotted at 8 to receive the flattened end 20 of a shaft 18, adjustable in a longitudinal direction, and carrying the inner die or forming-plug 22. Surrounding the shaft 18 is a bushing 16, the inner end of which forms the end finishing-head 23, which may be of any desired shape. The inner end of the shaft 6 is screw-threaded to receive the chuck head 9, upon which a cone 13 can slide, and to which are pivoted two arms 11, which at one end 12 are deflected to engage with the cone. The other ends carry, by means of pivots 14', the outer forming-dies 14, which are adjusted in position by set-screws 15. Springs 42 normally tend to raise the dies 14 from the bottle. The handle 27 of the bottle holder 28 is supported on verticallyadjustable racks 26 carried by a horizontallyadjustable carriage running along the top of the frame 2. By pressing on a treadle, the link 32 causes a casting 33 to oscillate upon its pivots. This causes a bar 34, which is attached thereto by a pin 34<1>, to move towards the right, whereby a fork 35 causes the case 13 to engage with the extensions 12 and force the outer dies on to the bottle neck. The oscillation of the casting 33 also causes a weighted rod 36 to rise, and by means of a connecting-rod 37, crank 38, and agitator 39 to discharge a mixture of charcoal and resin from a hopper 40 on to the work. On releasing the treadle, the bottle is released from the outer dies, and can be easily removed. In a modification, the inner die is formed as a pair of crossed pivoted arms having projections thereon to form any desired grooves in the interior of the bottle neck. The cone in this case also operates fingers which, when required, force outwards the arms entering the bottle neck.

Title: Improvements in the Method of Producing Bulges and the like on Metal Pipes and in Apparatus therefor.
Inventor: CHILLINGWORTH RUDOLF
Filed: 1900-05-29
Granted: 1900-07-14
Abstract: 9889. Chillingworth, R. May 29. Tube-expanders and the like. - Relates to the bulging or expanding of metal pipes in dies by internal liquid pressure. In the apparatus shown in Fig. 1, the pipe a to be bulged is enclosed in a die formed of two parts b and c, water is admitted through the pipe i and channel g, and the press stamps e,f are brought to bear on the pipe. Leather washers or packers m are employed to ensure water-tight insertions for the stamp ends, and annular shoulders n with elastic rings o are provided to sustain the pipe towards the end of the movements of the stamps. The bulges produced may be formed into tube sockets in the manner described in Specification No. 8050, A.D. 1895. The press stamps e and f may form parts of the plungers of the hydraulic press, and one plunger may be stationary or be connected with the other by gearing. In a modified form of apparatus, Fig. 3, water is forced in from an accumulator, pump, or the like, and screws e and f close the hollow chamber of the die b, c at both ends. In a further modification, liquid under pressure is introduced to the pipe, and a stamp inserted in the upper opening of the die presses on the pipe to be bulged.
Patent GB-190011941-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Regulating Appliances in connection with Electric Motors for Turret Turning, Gun Training and Analogous Purposes.
Inventor: SCOTT WILLIAM HARDING
Filed: 1900-07-02
Granted: 1901-05-25
Abstract: 11,941. Scott, W. H. July 2. Switches. - Relates to means for controlling the speed of electromotors used for gun training, turret turning, and for other purposes where a very wide range of speed is required. The regulation of a shunt motor from maximum to twothirds speed is obtained by varying the shunt excitation in the usual way, but, still further to reduce the speed, resistance is placed in the armature circuit, while the current is maintained approximately constant b y automatically applying a brake to the motor, when a reduction in the current strength takes place. The current being constant, the pressure at the motor brushes, (and therefore also the speed), is completely under control. The regulating-switch R is interlocked with a commutating or reversing switch R<1>, provided with resistances F, and adapted to reverse the armature current without at any time opening the armature circuit. The main switch R<2> is fitted with a resistance I, which prevents the shunt circuit of the motor from being opened on itself. The main switch having been closed, as shown in the Figure, current passes to the shunt coils of the motor through the resistance H. This resistance is removed as the arm r of the switch R is moved to the right or left, and at the same time the commutator switch R<1> makes the proper armature connection. The armature circuit is closed through the resistance coils E as soon as the switch arm reaches the first of the studs e. The speed can be increased by cutting out the coil E in succession, the armature current being maintained approximately constant by a brake B controlled by springs or weights which are counterbalanced by a solenoid C, so that the braking action increases as the current falls. When all the resistances E have been cut out, the resistances G are successively thrown into the shunt circuit in order still further to increase the speed, the armature current being under those conditions large enough to completely remove the brake B. A compound-wound motor may be used instead of a shunt one, or the motor may have a strong starting coil, which is combined with the series resistances. The Provisional Specification states that a special coil constituting part of the first step in the shunt resistance may be used to remove the brake ; and also that, in certain cases, the shunt regulation may be dispensed with, the brake being employed for the whole range of speed. In that case series or compound-wound motors may be used.

Abstract: 5656. Tabor, G., and Bonnamy, L. A. March 18. Stoppers; capsules, bottle, jar, and like.-Relates to stoppers or closures for hermetically sealing bottles, jars, barrels, &c. The cover a seats on a packing-ring b, and is secured in position by an inwardly and upwardly turned rim d, engaging under the flange e on the vessel. The ring d is made resilient by dividing it or otherwise, and may be formed on the cover, or on the retaining-band c, as shown. When a band is employed, its ends may be secured together by solder, or by interlocking tongues and slots, a tongue f being provided by which the band can be opened out or destroyed to open the vessel. In a modification, the teeth or prongs forming the rim d are stamped out from the flange of the band c. In the form shown in Fig. 4, a second series d<2> of teeth or prongs enables the cover to be applied loosely, to provide for the escape of vapours from the vessel while the contents are being cooked. After cooking, the cover is forced down into its final position. In the form shown in Fig. 6, teeth d on the band c engage with teeth g<1> on a second band g secured on the neck. This form can be disengaged by rotating the band c in the direction of the arrow, with an upward pressure. Instead of having the resilient rim or teeth on the cover, and the part with which they engage on the vessel, the reverse arrangement may be employed.
