Inventor: HESSER OTTO
IPC: B65B11/10
Filed: 1909-03-06
Granted: 1909-04-08
Abstract: 5485. Hesser, O. March 6. Paper bags, making.-The object of the invention is to simplify machines for making paper packets, by arranging the folders on the box or mould instead of mounting them separately as usual. The paper blank is fed in the usual way over a box 3, which is then raised until a mandrel 1, mounted on an intermittently-rotating shaft 2, enters it against the action of a spring bottom 5, and folds up two sides of the blank. The folding-blades 18, 19, which are mounted on slides 25 on the box 3, are next advanced by the action of cams 21 to fold down the upstanding flaps of the blank. The previously pasted flaps are then pressed down by a presser 26 as usual. The cams 21 are formed so as to counteract any undesirable movement of the folding - blades 18, 19 that might occur owing to the rise and fall of the box 3.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Low Quad Moulds and Actuating Mechanism therefor.
IPC: B41B7/04
Filed: 1909-03-19
Granted: 1910-03-17
Abstract: 6617. Lanston Monotype Corporation, [Chanonhouse, J. F. S.]. March 19. Strip-perforating machines. - The low - quad signal may be produced by arranging a punch one feed - interval in rear of the series of type punches, and coupling it with the space and quad keys. Moulds, low-quad, for type-casting machines. The cut-off member is provided in the mould crossblock or side wall, which is movable to permit the discharge of the type, and is controlled by the record or pattern strip. The parts are described as applied to the machine described in Specification 8633/99. The removable matrix-seating section 8 of the cross-block 3 is grooved to receive a cutoff section 9, which corresponds in width to the point size of the type and, when in normal position, has its front face flush with the face of the cross-block. The section 9 is formed upon, or secured to, a frame 10, which is recessed to receive a bearing 11 carried by the cross-block and provided with an adjusting-screw 12. A setscrew 13 retains the screw 12 in adjusted position, and a spring 14 holds the carrier 10 in contact with the screw 12. In order to position the cross-block accurately so that the cut-off section may enter the top of the mould cavity, a wedgeshaped plunger 15 is caused to enter a V-shaped seat 16 in the cross-block, and is guided between two blocks 18, which are adjustable by means of screws 19. The seat 16 may be arranged on the mould frame, and the plunger 15 on the crossblock. In the machine to which the parts are applied, the type corresponding with a given signal in the record strip is produced during the succeeding cycle of operations when the signal for the following type is being presented. The low-quad signal is therefore so placed in relation to the quad or space signal that it is presented concurrently with the succeeding signal and hence is operative during the cycle in which the quad or space is cast. Arms 22 on shafts 20, 21, Fig. 2, are yieldingly coupled with levers engaged by cams on the twin driving-shafts of the machine. An arm 27 on the shaft 20 is linked to the plunger 15, and an arm 29 on the shaft 21 to a plunger 30, which is recessed to accommodate the screw 12. The plunger 30 can move the cut-off section 9 into the mould cavity.only when the pressure in a cylinder caused by the presentation of the lowquad signal causes a piston to rise. The rod 34 of this piston normally prevents the movement of the arm 29, but allows its movement through a notch in the rod when the piston is lifted. Specification 18,848/02 is also referred to.

Granted: 1910-06-27
Abstract: 14,830. Seelau, F. June 24. Hours, announcing.-A phonograph announces the hours, and at the end of twelve hours the sound-box, having traversed the band record, is automatically returned, the band which has sound grooves arranged longitudinally thereof, side by side, being rewound after each announcement. The band record 1 is mounted upon three rollers 2, 3, 4. The roller 2 carries a guiding-spiral 20, and the roller 3 tensions the band. A spring 5 unwinds the band record by driving through gearing a wheel 8 mounted on a movable spindle 7, whereby a connecting-band 9 can be made loose or tight. The clock minutearbor rotates the sound-box feed-screw 22, and traverses the sound-box slide 23. The rotation of the pulley 8 is imparted by the belt 9 to the roller 4 when the sound-box rod 12 is depressed by a pin 11 by the clock mechanism, a nose 15 on a lever 14 releasing the governor. When a pin 18 on a lever 19 reaches the end of the guiding- spiral 20 the nose 16 is disengaged from the nose 14, the action of the spring 5 is stopped, and a counter-spring 17, which has become wound up rewinds the band 1, the belt 9 is loosened, and the sound-box is lifted by the rod 12. The slide 23 is automatically returned at the end of twelve hours, by the clock mechanism depressing a hcok 29 and a nose 30, whereby. two projections 26, 27, on the slide are moved to disengage a feed-nut 25 from the feed-screw 22 and to engage a feed-nut 28 on a return feed-screw 32. When the nose 30 is depressed, a nose 35 is rotated so that the driving-mechanism 5 is disconnected from the rollers and is connected with the return feed-screw 32 and rotates it. When the slide 23 is returned, a nose 38 on it operates a lever 39 to release a nose 40, thus allowing a spring 41 to rotate the shaft 31 carrying the nose 30 into its original position, so that the nose 35 locks the driving-mechanism of the return feed-screw 32.

Abstract: 16,053. Bechi, G. de, and Blythe, F. C. July 9. Chloridizing.-A process for treating impure tin, metallic residues containing tin, tin alloys such as Peruvian or Bolivian tin, white metal, and similar tin alloys or mixtures other than tin-plate and the like in which iron predominates, to effect complete solution of the tin and its separation from other metals, consists in dissolving the tin by means of stannic chloride, and regenerating the resulting stannous chloride for use in treating more metal. The material is first treated with hydrochloric acid alone to extract some tin. The stannous chloride obtained is oxidized in the presence of hvdrochloric acid and nitric acid or nitrates, or treated with chlorine or mixtures evolving chlorine, or is oxidized in an oxidizing-tower or other apparatus. A part only of the stannous chloride may be oxidized, and the partly-oxidized liquor used to act on the residual material, the oxidation being repeated as required. The oxidation mav in some cases be conducted in the presence of the tin material. Other metals may be dissolved as well as tin, in which case they may be precipitated by treating the solution with tin or more of the tin material; or zinc may be added to precipitate first the metals other than tin.. and then the tin.
