Title: Improvements in Bottling Machines for Beer, Mineral Water and the like.
Filed: 1907-10-28
Granted: 1908-09-03
Abstract: 23,782. West & Co., H. J., Webster, R. W., and Chew, L. Oct. 28. Bottling.-Relates to a filling-cock for use with a rotary or stationary bottling-machine for aerated liquids. The empty bottle having been placed on the filling-nozzle g against the rubber pad v, the cock c is turned so that the passage p in it opens communication between a pipe r, which opens into the upper part of the liquid reservoir, and the interior of the bottle, by way of passages q, h, j. The air or gas in the reservoir passes into the bottle until the pressure is uniform in both. The cock c is then turned to the position shown in Fig. 4, so that some of tl e gas in the bottle can pass through the passage d and raise a valve f of the kind described in Specification No. 18,363, A.D. 1906. Liquid from the reservoir is thus allowed to enter the bottle by way of a passage u, valve f, passage d, and nozzle g. At the same time, the air or gas escapes from the bottle by the passages j, h, k into a tube m and enters the upper part of the reservoir through a check valve. When the bottle is full, the cock c is turned so as to close the passages connected with the reservoir, and to allow the air &c. in the neck to escape through ports s, t If the machine is of the rotary type, the cock c may be operated automatically by arms w striking fixed stops. According to the Provisional Specification, the various passages may be controlled by a series of valves instead of by the plug c.

Abstract: 27,574. Lowen, W. Dec. 13. Angle-pieces; couplings, disconnectible.-A junction-piece for rods, tubes, &c. consists of a part a, b, which may be clamped to one pipe or rod by screw bolts, and a socket c having internal interrupted threads. The rod or tube g is secured in the socket by a nut k having interrupted threads, which allow the nut to be slipped into place and secured by a partial turn, the nut bearing on a flange h In a modification, Fig. 5, the socket is screwed externally, and the nut bas internal interrupted threads. A sleeve u having a semicircular flange w is interpcsed between the nut and the flange on the tube t. The tube is inserted with the flange w uppermost, till the shoulder s in the socket is reached. The sleeve is then turned with the flange w downwards till the shoulder s is passed, and is then returned, the flange w engaging behind the shoulder s. The nut is then slipped into place and tightened. The flanges w, v may be formed integral with the tube t, the sleeve u being dispensed with.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Shearing Machines.
Inventor: BOULT ALFRED JULIUS
Filed: 1907-12-28
Granted: 1908-12-28
Abstract: 28,557. Boult, A. J., [Gewerkschaft Deutscher Kaiser Hamborn]. Dec. 28. Shearing.-In a machine for cutting or shearing iron into bars, bands, rods, wires, &c, of equal or unequal lengths without readjusting the shears, by means of flying-shears, i.e. shears which change their position, the cut material is conducted by a switch into different tracks to prevent the accumulation of the cut pieces. In the form shown in which rotating shears are used, the knives mare pivoted on a pin b in a grooved pulley S, and are held open by springs f or counterweights. To obtain given length of material, the pulley is rotated a given number of times before the cutters are brought into operation, the speed beiug suited to the travel of the work, which is preferably fed from the rolling mill, or from straightening, compressing, or other finishing apparatus. The pivoted knives are operated by stops p, consisting of rollers simultaneously moved inwards by gearing operated by accessory mechanical means or by a hand-lever h, and returned by a counterweight g. The switch w alternately closes the grooves r', r<2> on the return movement of the lever, through a toothed segment z and a toothed wheel t<1> loosely mounted on a spindle t and provided with a locking pawl. On the spindle is mounted a crank-disk t<2> connected by a rod t<3> to the distributor. The ratchet gear is kept in position during the inoperative stroke by a second pawl and ratchet. The grooves r<1>, r<2> have transport bands, rolls, &c. working at a greater speed than the feed of the material, and as the switch is not operated until the lever is released, the hear end of the cut material will have nearly reached the switch and jamming is thus prevented. Instead of two movable shears, one part may be fixed and one movable, or the movable part may be pressed against a fixed edge of the disk.

Title: Improvements in Passenger Recorders for Railway Vehicles and the like.
Inventor: GROMMET ADOLPH GUSTAVE
Filed: 1908-11-30
Granted: 1909-08-26
Abstract: 25,805. Grommet, A. G. Nov. 30. Fares, registering.-Apparatus for recording the number of passengers entering and leaving a railway car, and the aggregate distance they travel, comprises a strip of paper 17 moved by connexion with the vehicle wheel 25 and marked by a series of perforating-wheels 27, 28 mounted on levers which are controlled by a turnstile 11. The steps 1, 2, of the car are provided with spring supported treads 3, which when depressed, successively raise the ends of bent levers 5, 6 out of engagement with a quatrefoil disk 9 on the turnstile spindle 10. The arrangement is such that partial movement of the spindle can take place when one tread is depressed but the quarter-rotation may only be completed after stepping upon the second tread. The movements of the turnstile reciprocate a bar 33 through bevel and spur gearing 14, 35. The bar 33 is provided with a pair of bevel ended slats 31, 32 which are adapted to raise successively the tails 30 of two series of levers 18, 19 carrying the perforating-wheels 27, 28. The paper strip is wound upon a roller 16 which is geared with the car wheel 25 so that one revolution of the roller represents a mile traversed by the car. A series of projections 26 on the roller penetrates the paper at each revolution and thus indicates the mile stages. Spring-depressed rollers 16<a> are provided to ensure the correct passage of the strip over the roller 16. The action of the apparatus is as follows. At each movement of the turnstile due to the entrance of a passenger the bar 33 is moved one step to the right. One lever 18 is thus operated so as to press its wheel 27 against the paper, and a continuous line of circular perforations appears thereon. If a second passenger enters, another lever 18 is thrown into action and a second line of perforations is produced. As each passenger leaves, the bar 33 moves to the left and releases the levers successively. Should, however, passengers from other cars depart through the turnstile 11, thereby producing more exits than entrances, the bar 33 will continue the intermittent movement to the left, and the second series of levers 19 will be actuated in succession by the slat 32. The wheels 28 carried by the levers 19 have oval perforators so that the perforations made by them can be distinguished from those made by the series of wheels 27.
