Patent GB-190916881-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Machinery for Labelling Packets, Boxes or similar Articles.
IPC: B65C1/04
Filed: 1909-07-20
Granted: 1910-07-20
Abstract: 16,881. Parr, A., and Dorman & Co., W. H. July 20. Feeding sheets &c. - Comprises a labelling- machine in which the gummed label is placed over a plate capable of descending between adjustable side plates by means of travelling grippers. The labels are carried in a pile E and are supported by a rising and falling table a having a stem m provided with ratchet and rack faces. The tab'e and labels are lifted at the same time that the gumming-member n, which has been previously moistened by a gumming-roller N, is lowered, with the result that the top label of the pile is gummed, and, when the gummer n rises, the label is carried with it. The roller N is carried by a cam-actuated lever which moves it to-andfro between the gummer n and a roller p revolting in a gum tank L. A parting-table U is then brought between the pile of labels and the separated label, and the latter is deposited thereon and detached from the gummer by a stripper P mounted in the gummer. Grippers X, Z, are then advanced to grip the label and convey it to a position under the package-carrier H. These grippers are mounted on spindles x<1>, z<1>, carried by a cam-actuated rack, which on moving forward brings a lever attached to the upper member X against a stop x<17>, thereby opening the jaws to receive the end of a label. During the return stroke of the grippers, the stop x<17> is removed from the path of the lever, and a second stop x<18> is placed so as to open the jaws of the gripper when the label is under the carrier H. The machine may have multiple sets of hoppers, carriers, and grippers to deal with more than one package at a time. Specifications 8338/07, 17,631/07, and 26,272/07, [all in Class 73, Labels, &c.], are referred to.

Abstract: 19,129. Zahn, O. Aug. 15. Gaseous-fuel furnaces; air supply, regulating. -In a combined gas - fired, reverberatory or other furnace, and producer, the air supply to the producer and the air for combustion in the furnace are regulated, so as to be always in the correct proportion, by controlling their separate sources in common, or by taking them from a regulable common source. The induced draught and the supply of gas to the furnace may at the same time be similarly regulated. According to the first form of the invention described, the two air supplies are provided by two fans driven by a common motor, or by separate motors controlled in common. A third fan similarly driven may be fitted in the waste gas outlet. According to the second form of the invention, Fig. 3, the. air supply u for the producer B and the air supply v for the furnace A are taken from a compressed-air reservoir r, the pressure in which can be controlled. Pressure-reducing valves are fitted in the pipes u, v, or, alternatively, injector devices, Fig. 4, by which an increased volume of air of lower pressure is obtained. A third air supply w may be introduced into the waste - gas outlet C so as to affect the draught therein, and the gas supply a may be controlled by a fan driven from the aircompressor k.

Abstract: 7149. Weider, I., and Pesl, R. March 22. Window-guards for casements are automatically moved into operative position, when the casement is opened, by cords . connecting the guard to the casement, or by the engagement of inclined arms on the casement with levers on the guard. In the form shown in Figs. 1 and 3, the guard comprises bars 1 sliding on vertical rods 5 and connected by links 2 pivoted at 3 to the bars and at 4 to sleeves sliding on the bars. The guard is raised by cords 6, which are attached to the top bar of the guard, pass over pulleys 7, and are connected to one or both casements 10. In the modification shown in Fig. 5, increased lift is given to the guard for the same opening of the casement by the use of a differential pulley 11 instead of the centre pulleys 7. In the form shown in Fig. 6, the bars 14 are hinged to swing vertically, and are operated by the engagement of arms 17 on the casement with levers 18 on the bars 14. The bars 14 may engage in the middle by means of hook-and-eye connexions 15, 16; or they may extend right across the window. The bars may also be raised by cords and weights, and lowered by releasing the weights by a cord connecting them to the casement.

Abstract: 9287. Bowell, G. B., and Bowell, H. T. W. April 13. Pendulums, regulating electrically. - In a clock which is electrically synchronized with a standard clock by automatic regulation of the pendulum, permanent magnets a, b, or one magnet and a soft iron piece, are attached to the pendulum and to an adjustable support c respectively. The support c forms part of a carriage d, which is movable along vertical guides by means of a screwed rod f, provided with a toothed wheel h adapted to be engaged by pawls i, j on the armatures of two electromagnets k, l, Fig. 2. These electro-magnets are connected to three contact-springs fixed to the armature of another electro-magnet, the ends of the springs being arranged over three parallel disks, mounted on an arbor driven by the clock. The central disk is circular and the others are formed as oppositely-disposed sectors. When the last-mentioned electro-magnet is energized by a current from the standard clock, the contactfingers are depressed, so that, according to the position of the rotating arbor at this instant, depending on whether the controlled clock is fast or slow, one of the electro-magnets k, l is energized by the completion of its circuit through the central disk and one or other of the sectors, and thus the distance between the magnets b, a is varied in order to correct the speed of the pendulum. If the clock is correct at the synchronizing instant, neither of the electromagnets k, l is energized.
