Granted: 1900-07-14
Abstract: 7614. Strebel, L., and Goepel, P. April 24. Stoppers.-The stopper shown in Fig. 2 has a valve, which permits the bottle to be filled with aerated liquids without removing the stopper. The head E is formed from a sheet-metal blank, with a central aperture e' surrounded by an inturned flange e<2>. The plug F is formed preferably of soft rubber, and is integral with the valve portion F', the slits s formed between the valve and plug permitting the entrance of the liquid, when the valve is depressed from its seat by the carbonating- nozzle. The upper end of the valve is recessed to fit over the flange e<2>, and a strengthening-thimble g is inserted in the annular recess f<3>. When the bottle is filled, the valve is returned to its seat by the elasticity of the material and the internal pressure, so as to close the slits s. The flange f of the plug is forced into the inturned flange e of the head E, the second flange f<1> serving to form a tight joint with the mouth of the bottle. The stopper is secured in position by the bail D and lever C pivoted in eyes in the ring B. The upper ends of the bail D are bent and inserted through apertures in the head E, and are again bent transversely, to hold the stopper firmly and prevent it from being detached. For beer bottles &c., which are not filled through the stopper, the valve and valve passages e<1> &c. are omitted, the plug F being made solid.

Granted: 1901-11-23
Abstract: 23,022. Pickard, A. Dec. 17. Feeding carding-engines; alarms.-The material which falls from the spiked apron during the interval between the opening and closing of the scale-pan is caught by the tray 1, which is blocked in the position shown, during the filling of the scale-pan, by means of a lever 23 connected with the clutch on the upper shaft 37 of the spiked apron, the lever being provided with arms which engage with projections on the face of a disc 15 on the shaft 4 which carries the tray 1. When the scale-pan is full and the clutch on the shaft 37 is disengaged in the ordinary way, the disc 15 is also released, and the tray 1 swings on its axle 4 into a horizontal position above the scale-pan, and is held in this position by a spring catch 26. When the scale-pan is emptied and closed, the tray 1 is raised into the position shown by the levers 11, 10, 9, 8, the lever 8 being loose on the shaft 4 and carrying a projection for engaging with a corresponding projection on the disc 15, and also a cam for disengaging the catch lever 26. In order to equalize the supply of fibrous material to the spiked apron, within the hopper is fitted a pressure board 38, which, when the hopper contains a sufficient quantity of fibre, is held in the position shown by a catch 43 connected by a slotted link 47 with a stud on the face of a ratchet-wheel, which is driven intermittently by the lever 54 which governs the opening and closing of the scale-pan. When the scale-pan has been opened and closed a sufficient number of times, the catch 43 is disengaged, and the board 38 falls and presses the material remaining in the hopper against the lifting-apron. Simultaneously with the fall of the board 38, a bell 64 carried by a spring arm is rung, the lever 60 carrying the bell being normally supported by a cam 58. At the proper time a toe on the lever 60 falls into a notch in the cam 58, and agitates the bell, bringing at the same time the spring arm carrying the bell within range of an arm 65 on the oscillating shaft 66 within the hopper. The lever 60 is connected by a slotted link 62 with a pin on the cam 41, so that, when the board is raised into the position shown, the toe of the lever 60 is also raised out of the notch in the cam 58.
