Title: Improvements in and relating to Processes and Apparatus for Cleaning Bottles and other Vessels and the like.
Inventor: WEYMAR EMIL
Filed: 1904-10-17
Granted: 1905-01-05
Abstract: 22,367. Weymar, E. Oct. 17. Bottles, jars, &c., washing.- Bottles and other open-mouthed vessels are placed in holders which are let down into the washing- liquid, the cleansing of the interior being effected by the action of a pump, injector, or stream of air, the exterior being washed by agitation of the liquid. The apparatus is described throughout as arranged for washing bottles. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the bottles are fitted over tubes c which are open at both ends, the lower end communicating with the box b which forms the bottom of the holder. The perforated cover o keeps the bottles completely immersed. The centrifuge d agitates the liquid, while the pump f forces a continuous stream into the interior of the bottle through the tubes c. In a modification of this form, the pump delivers air instead of water. The single tube c is replaced by an inlet tube c<1>, Fig. 5, the point of which is bent laterally to a slight degree, and the outlet tube c<2>, the latter extending almost to the bottom of the bottle. The vessel b is here replaced by the air admission and exit pipes b<1>, b<2>, which, however, may be formed by two chambers in the box b. Similarly, a tube network may be used with the water-pump form. The carrier and bottles can be lifted bodily out of the trough a by a pulley or the like, and transported by a travelling crane or otherwise ; or an auxiliary carrier may be employed, as described below, in which case the part b is fixed to the vessel a. Thus, in large plants, the carrier is filled, and then immersed in a succession of vessels containing different liquids. These two simple types may be combined by the use of injector-like nozzles, as shown in Fig. 7, air which is forced into the tube b<1> escaping through the opening c<3> and drawing in water through apertures cut in the screwed part c<0>. An alternative form of injector is shown in Fig. 11. The bottles rest on springs s, and their necks pass through a wire-gauze curtain r, which serves to prevent matters from the outside of the bottle, especially labels, from being drawn into the nozzles. To assist the operation, sand or fine shot may be introduced into the vessel a both in this and the above forms. An auxiliary holder to be used with a fixed tube network or box b consists of a portable frame u, Fig. 9, pierced with holes corresponding to the nozzles c and adapted to hold the bottles.

Patent GB-190601879-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Machinery for Making Paper Bags.
Filed: 1906-01-25
Granted: 1906-07-19
Abstract: 1879. Nichols, W. B., Duerden, J., and Bibby & Barron. Jan. 25. Cutting-machines for paper.-Relates to a machine which may be used for making either paper bags which have two side beams and no bottom seams, such as those generally used for enclosing millinery, or for making paper bags which have one side seam and a bottom seam. In making bags with two side seams, the paper web a, Figs. 1 and 4, passes from the guide-roll B to the roll C provided with circumferential recesses which enable rotary disk cutters, mounted on the shaft D, to sever the web longitudinally into a number of narrower webs. The parallel webs have their edges pasted at intervals, bent over, and pressed home, and they are then severed by a serrated knife on the roll n<2>. The knife is so shaped that the ends of the blanks are curved, as shown in Fig. 12, thus providing a projecting piece a<5> on one side of the mouth of each finished bag, Fig. 13, to enable the bag to be opened readily. The roll n<2> which carries the cutting-knife, and the roll n<3>, which forms the cutting-bed, are caused to rotate at a variable rate by means of elliptical toothed gearing such as that described in Specification No. 20,340, A.D. 1893. The severed blanks are carried forward by rolls p, p<1>, the upper one of which is mounted in vertically-reciprocating bearings. When the rolls r, r<1> have fed the blanks sufficiently far forward upon the endless tapes s, the blade t descends and strikes the blanks along the line a<4>-a<4>, Fig. 12, thus transferring the blanks to the rolls u, r<1>, which complete the folding operations and deliver the bags to rolls v, v<1>. The bags are delivered from the machine by endless tapes w, x passing round the rolls v, v<1>. When it is desired to make bags of the kind shown in Fig. 17, the mechanism shown in Fig. 18 is substituted for the bracket which carries the tapes s, w, x, Fig. 1, and half the adjustable paste-wheels f, metal strips i<1>, jawsj, and paste-wheels l are removed. The broad web a is slit longitudinally in the manner previously described, and after one edge of each web has been pasted in the manner shown in Fig. 14, that edge is turned in and pasted as shown at a<8>, Fig. 15. The blanks are severed by a serrated blade and are then fed forward to adjustable stops used in connexion with the travelling tapes s<x>, Fig. 18. The blade t, Fig. 1, strikes the blanks along the line a<9>-a<9>, Fig. 15, and thus transfers them to rolls u, r', Fig. 18, which delivers them to rollsvx, v<1x>, carrying endless tapes x<x>, w<x>, which carry the blanks forward for the pasting and folding operations. If desired, thumb-notches a<12>, Figs. 15 and 17, may be cut from the blanks to enable the bags to be opened readily. To effect this, there are mounted on the shaft D, Figs. 4 and 6, a number of segmental serrated cutters 38 and spikes 39 carried by spring-pressed plungers 40. As the shafts c, D rotate, the small pieces of paper cut out are impaled upon the spikes 39 and are subsequently brushed off them by fixed brushes 46.

Title: Improvements in Rotary or Straight-bar Knitting Machines.
Filed: 1906-02-09
Granted: 1906-10-25
Abstract: 3242. Cotton, Ltd., W., and Aldridge, C. H. Feb. 9. Straight bar knitting- machines.-A special embroidery thread - carrier B<1>, Figs. 2 and 3, is employed in conjunction with coverer or lacing points and is described in connexion with the Cotton's type of rotary machine. As usual, movements in three directions can be imparted to the embroidery thread-carrier B<1>, it being mounted for this purpose on a bar B<3> which can both rock and slide, while the bearings for the bar B<3> can be moved bodily to and from the needles. The carrier B' is made to co-operate with, say, four coverer points D, shown in section in Fig. 6. The points D descend at predetermined times and relieve the corresponding needles of their loops. The bent end of the carrier B<1> then passes the embroidery thread E<1> under the removed loops. The coverers then replace their loops on the needles from which they were removed, and in so doing lock-in the embroidery thread, which thus appears over four loops on the face of the fabric. In accordance with the requirements of the design, the thread-carriers B' and the coverer points are given variable shogging movements ; or the coverers can be mounted in jacks F sliding in a tricked bar. A rocking bar mounted on the narrowing arm carries a notched selecting-bar G<7>, the pegs G<8> of which come down on the coverer jacks F prior to the action of the narrowing machine and depress the coverers into an acting position. By shogging the bar G<7>, the groups of coverers are selected in the predetermined manner. The narrowing arm is then depresed to bring the coverers into action as described. Specifications No. 7252, A.D. 1896, No. 2651, A.D. 1897, No. 22,013, A.D. 1899, No. 54, A.D. 1900, No. 21,772, A.D. 1901, and No. 20,393, A.D. 1904, are referred to.
