Abstract: 15,977. Brown, L. P. Feb. 10, 1910, [Convention date]. Machines for making paper receptacles. In a bottle-making machine of the type in which a web of paper is wound on an intermittentlyrotating form, bottom blanks 94 which have been automatically fed to the end of the form 32 are held in position during the rotation of the latter by a plate 96 carried by a spring-controlled part 97 slidable on the end of an intermittently-rotating shaft 99. The part 97 carries sliding spring- controlled fingers 105 arranged to centralize the blanks opposite the end of the form 32. When the shaft 99 is moved to the right by the end 127 of a lever, the plate 96 presses the blank against the end of the form 32, and the fingers 105 are moved to engage the blank by a collar 108 on the shaft 99 engaging adjusting-screws 107 on the fingers. When the end 127 of the lever moves to the left, the fingers 105 and the plate 96 are withdrawn from the blank 94, and grippers 122, which are pivoted to a part 115 capable of sliding with the shaft 99, are turned by a link 119 so as to seize the end of the bottle. The continued motion to the left of the end 127 of the lever causes a sliding collar 111 to engage a collar 125 carried by the shaft 99, thus moving the shaft 99 to the left and withdrawing the bottle from the form 32. A collapsible bottle form, such as that described in Specification 28,830/10, may be used.

Abstract: 2269. Joel, H. F. Oct. 25, 1912. Electrodes of lead accumulators. Cylindrical or prismatic grids with horizontal and vertical bars L, R, and suitable for concentric arrangement, are combined with rods or wires of lead, or threads of asbestos, glass wool, porous wood, or the like A, passed through holes in the grids, to retain the paste, and allow access of electrolyte, and escape of gases. Single or multiple strings, woven bands, or network may be used, and may be applied before or after partial pasting. As shown in Fig. 9, several such prismatic grids may be joined with channels between them to form a large electrode, and placed within a single annular grid N, the outside of which may be the cell lining. Figs. 1 and 2 show in horizontal and vertical section a prismatic grid having horizontal laminae L united by inner and outer vertical ribs R, and with an optional central space H. Apertures D in the laminae receive the wires, strings, or both A, which may pass straight through, as shown at the left hand of Fig. 2, or in and out, as at the right. Outside grooves C, preferably tapering upwards, promote circulation. In a modification, a central perforated tube with external vertical ribs carries horizontal laminae, which are alternately octagonal and cross-shaped, the former having holes for the wires or threads. In another form, a perforated tube carries circular laminae with notches at the edges in which the cords or wires are wound helically. The above electrodes preferably are the positives, and are enclosed by annular negatives. One form of these, shown in Fig. 7, is composed of vertical ribs R, horizontal laminae L, and interlaced wires or cords A. It is lined with a perforated lead sheath, having vertical corrugations which may follow the contour of the enclosed positive electrode, to allow circulation. A similar sheath may be placed outside, or may be replaced by the lining of the cell. The sheaths are applied at the time of pasting, and become united to the active material after forming. Such electrodes are cast in one piece with their terminals, in two-part moulds opened and closed by double-acting screws, one half of such a mould being indicated at M, Fig. 1. An H-shaped iron core-bar is used to form the central space H and apertures D. Holes through the horizontal laminae are formed by tapering corerods. Annular electrodes are cast around a removable iron tube. According to the Provisional Specification, an annular negative electrode is cast with a perforated backing, and a mould is used for pressing the active material to form channels, and also for pressing a perforated lining-tube into position and corrugating it, preferably before forming. The assembled electrodes, with separators between them, are attached to the cell-lid by their lugs, each of which is tapered and threaded above a flange, upon which rests a washer with a projection fitting the hole in the lid.
