Patent GB-190812277-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Hoisting, Lowering and Traversing Apparatus.
Filed: 1908-06-05
Granted: 1909-06-03
Abstract: 12,277. Alexander, W., and Applebys, Ltd. June 5. Cranes; lifting-gear for rope railways.-A hoisting or lowering and traversing device has, in addition to a traveller, one or more sheave-carriers traversible in the same direction as the traveller and acted upon in opposite directions by hoisting and traversing cables, whereby the hoisting-cable need not span more than half the distance between the end of the trackway and the traveller. Fig. 1 shows the load a, hoisting-rope b, and a sheavecarrier c mounted between one end of the overhead track d and the traveller e. The hoisting-rope b passes over the sheave f on the traveller, the sheave g on the carrier, and a fixed sheave h to the hoisting-drum i. The traversing-rope k is wound in opposite directions on the drum o, and one part passes over a sheave m and is fixed to the traveller, while the other part passes over the sheave q and a sheave r on the carrier and is then fixed to the track. If the winch i is operated, the winch o being held, the load is lifted or lowered ; if the winch o is operated, the winch i being held, the traveller is hauled along the track, the load remaining at the same height. If the hoisting-rope is likely to become slack at any time, the relative positions of the traveller and carrier may be maintained by a spacing-rope s fixed to the traveller and passing over a sheave on the carrier to a fixed point t of the structure, or over a pulley to a balance weight v. The rope p, instead of being anchored to the end of the track, may be made endless with the spacing-rope s, it being carried round a sheave 7 and attached to a clamp 8. A modification shows the invention applied to a double-rope grab, in which the opening-rope is passed round a sheave on the traveller and over a sheave on the carrier on the same axis as the sheave g to a spring drum or the equivalent. In a second modification, shown in Fig. 3, two carriers are arranged, one on each side of the traveller, each having only one sheave over which the hoisting and opening ropes of the grab respectively pass. A third modification consists in using the same motor to drive both the hoisting-rope drum and the opening-rope drum through the intermediary of epicyclic gearing. In a fourth modification, the traversing and hoisting drums are operated by the same motor as in the last case. More than one motor may be used in connexion with the different drums &c.

Granted: 1909-10-14
Abstract: 21,832. B³ki, A. B. de Fels÷-, and Hubert, E. Oct. 15. Mincing; graters; strainers, fish, vegetable, and like; mashing, pressing, and squeezing apples, &c.- A household mashing, sifting, and straining machine, which can also be used for grating or mincing, comprises a feeding-screw having a conical core and a flat and tapering thread ending in a conical extension 4, and a closely-fitting and readilyremovable cylinder 9. The cylinder and a feedhopper 13 are secured in position by a wire 14, which is soldered to the hopper and is bent so as to pass through holes 11, 12 in the cylinder 9 and the frame 8 respectively. The material to be strained &c. is compressed between the threads and the cylinder as it is fed forward by the screw, so that the liquid and softer portions are forced through the perforations and fall into a receptacle 17. The harder parts are delivered through a slot into a discharge channel 16. When the machine is used for grating bread, almonds, &c., the cylinder 9 is removed and an ordinary grating-cylinder is fixed to the screw. A mincing-machine is obtained when a cylinder 19, having preferably helical slits 21, replaces the straining-cylinder 9, and a perforated cylinder 22 is fitted over it and is attached to the screw by a pin 24. Meat forced through the slits 21 when these register with the openings 23 in the outer rotating cylinder is cut off by the edges of these openings as they pass out of register. The outer cylinder may be replaced by rows of knives or shearing-blades, fixed to rings encircling the cylinder 19 and rotated by the screw.

Abstract: 11,761. Hooker, Ltd., P., Hooker, B., and Hooker, B., (administrator of Hooker, H.). May 18. Guillotine type.-Consists of a machine for simultaneously trimming the three edges of a book by forcing the book by a reciprocating platen against a three-sided cutter. The books are fed singly from a hopper 3 by a plate 8, which supports the bottom book and is adapted to be lowered, carrying the bottom book with it, by links 10 operated from the shaft 13; the remaining books are meanwhile supported in the hopper by pins adapted to engage automatically the lowest book. Fingers 25, adapted to rock about the shaft 28, now feed the book into a tray 26 where it is engaged by fingers 41. The tray is rocked about the shaft 33, as shown in Fig. 4, whereupon the fingers 41, by engagement with a lug 43 on the platen 44, are rocked to disengage the book b, which falls into position to be engaged by the platen 44. Reciprocating edge-gauges are provided to ensure a correct positioning of the book with respect to the die. The stroke of the platen is only sufficient to carry the book up to the cutter, and it is forced therethrough by the following book at the next operation of the machine. Reciprocating stops are provided which pass through slots 67 in the platen to engage the rear of the book before the platen returns. Rotary cutters 56 serve to slit the back of the book before it reaches the cutter 45.

Title: A New or Improved Machine for Filling Bags with Tea or other Loose Material and Closing said Bags.
Inventor: BAKER GEORGE SAMUEL
IPC: B65B43/50
Filed: 1909-11-22
Granted: 1910-11-17
Abstract: 27,134. Baker, G. S., and Boulnois, G. Nov. 22. Filling tea &c. into bags. - Relates to a machine for filling bags with tea or other loose material and for closing the mouths of the bags. The bags are formed about hollow open-ended formers 21, Figs. 1 and 2, by means of the machine described in Specification 25,580/10, [Class 94 (ii), Paper bags &c.], and are held on the formers by means of spring fingers. The formers are carried by rotatable arms 22, and, after a bag has been formed at position I, it is passed below a hopper 23 at position II, which discharges a certain quantity of tea into each former. During the filling operation, the bag is jigged by a tapping-device situated below the bed adjacent to position II. The bag is then carried below a plunger 27 at position III which by its weight alone compresses and compacts the tea, and is then carried under a spring-pressed plunger 28 at position IV, which forces the bag of tea off the former into one of a series of pockets on a rotating carrier arranged below the level of the table. The box rotates and brings the bag to position V below a third compressor 29 which applies a heavy positive pressure. During the journey from position IV to position V, the bag is partly rotated to bring it into position for folding. The bag is next carried to position VI, where it is slightly raised so that its top may be acted on by the folding-device 30. The folders 198, Fig. 27, are moved horizontally over the bag by means of cam slots in a rotating plate which are engaged by pins 195 on the supports 193 of the folders. A pin 201 on the rear of a folder engages in a fixed cam slot, which is of such a shape as to cause the folder to fold down the side of the bag with a wiping action. Three of these folders are used, and the fourth side of the bag is folded down by a roller 203<a>, Fig. 2, beneath which the bag is carried as it is moved to position VII, where it rests under an aperture 31, across which a gummed label has been fed. A plunger lifts the bag through the aperture past wipers which pull the label round the bag and complete the folding process, the bag being ejected from the machine by the succeeding bag.
