Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Feeding Sheets of Paper to Wrapping Machines
Inventor: BRION ADOLPH ERNST
Filed: 1907-02-19
Granted: 1907-10-10
Abstract: 4169. Brion, A. E. Feb. 19. Feeding sheets. - In a machine for wrapping blocks of chewing-gum &c. in paper, the wrappers are drawn off from a storage receptacle 77 by feed-rollers 86 partly covered with rubber. These rollers are pressed against the wrappers in the receptacle by a spring 99 acting on a piece 96 rigidly connected to pivoted arms 90. The shaft 87 is driven by means of a shaft having universal couplings at its ends. The follower 85, which forces the wrappers against the rollers 86, is moved forward by a screw 79 operated from a bevel-wheel 121 driven from a pawl 123 pivoted on a pin screwed into an arm 122 projecting from an eccentric-rod 116. When the pressure of the wrappers upon the rollers 86 becomes too great, the arms 90 turn about the centre 92. The rod 125 is thus pulled forward until the end of the slot 127 engages with a pin on the pawl 123. The backward motion of the pawl 123 with the rod 116 is thereby prevented by a spring 130, Fig. 15, which presses against the pin 129, allowing relative movement between the rod 116 and the pawl. The removal of more than one wrapper at a time from the storage receptacle is prevented by a rotating needle 107, the screwthreaded point of which pierces the foremost sheets in the receptacle. The discharged wrapper is guided, by a pair of guides 139, Fig. 12, beneath rollers 136, which cause it to assume its correct position upon the folding-drum 132.

Granted: 1907-10-24
Abstract: 10,111. Lawrence, W. H., and Kennedy, R., [Burrell, L.]. May 1. Cow-milkers; milk pails.-In vacuum milking-machines, the air is filtered on entering and leaving the pulsator and milk tubes. The pulsator A, of the type described in Specification No. 13,237, A.D. 1903, is affixed to a casing 14 making an air-tight joint 16, the casing being attached to the milk pail 12. The nozzles 10 are connected to the teat cups and a vacuum is applied to the pipe 2, the air being drawn through the mass 21 of cotton, wool, sponge, chaff, bran, or other filtering-material held between layers 23 of woven fabric and perforated corrugated plates 22. The filtering - material may be mixed with an hygroscopic material such as calcium chloride. The air admitted by the pulsator A to the teatcups through the nozzle 4 is drawn through a filter consisting of a cylinder of perforated metal containing the porous material and covered by a woven fabric, the air being admitted at one end through a perforated metal or gauze cone. Air is admitted to the milk tubes through a filter, Fig. 9, enclosed in a cup 8<a> with a perforated cap 6<a>. A ball valve 19<a> is provided at the base of the suction tube 2, and another valve 19 excludes air from the pail when the pulsator is removed. Various modified forms of the exhaust filter are described. It may be cylindrical, Fig. 11, the casing 66 having longitudinal slots covered with woven fabric, and a perforated base 69 and corrugated plate 74. The inlet pipe 56 projects within the chamber 41, forming a trap for the milk separated. A separate trap may be used alone or in conjunction with a filter. In other forms, the filter may be contained in a flanged cup, the lid, which has an oblique outlet pipe, being clamped by means of a screw in a removable bridge-piece, or it may be enclosed in an enlargement of the exhaust pipe with a screw joint at its centre. Milk pails.-For use with a machine for milking two cows simultaneously, a pail having two compartments is used. A partition may be fixed across the pail, the two outlets being arranged so that the milk may be poured into two vessels. The pipes conveying the milk lead to the two hoods formed in the lid, and the air conductors to a removable plate on the pulsator. A ball valve is arranged at the base of the suction conduit, a bypass allowing the air to enter the pail slowly when disconnected from the suction pipe. Another form of double pail has a second vessel 13, Fig. 3, concentric with the pail 12 receiving milk from inlets 11, 11<a>, the inner vessel being either immersed or placed within a central chamber in the outer. In a second modification, two semicylindrical vessels 49, 50, Fig. 11, fit in the casing 51, which has a rib 52 on the base. Funnels 42 receive the milk and conical or spherical float valves 47, 48 allow it to pass but exclude air. A lug and slot 53 ensure that the lid is placed in the correct position.
