Patent GB-191011698-A (GB)
Title: An Improved Device for Filling Bottles or other Receptacles with Liquids.
Inventor: PARSONS GEORGE HENRY LEWIS
IPC: B67C7/00
Filed: 1910-05-11
Granted: 1911-02-09
Abstract: 11,698. Parsons, G. H. L. May 11. Bottling.-Relates to a reservoir and siphon bottling - machine i n which bottle - filling nozzles e are connected to a closed supply tank a containing liquid maintained by a float valve at the level to which it is desired to fill the bottles f. Liquid is constantly supplied to the tank a from a main supply tank a<1> mounted upon the tank a. For charging the siphon tubes e completely when the apparatus is first used, an independent connexion between the tanks a, a<1> is provided by a valve m, by means of which a further supply of liquid may be introduced into the tank a and caused to rise in an open tube g on the top of the tank of such height and area that it will contain sufficient liquid to fill the parts of the siphons which are above the level of the main body of the liquid in the tank. The bottles are raised to the filling-nozzles by vertically movable rests h lifted by cams k on a spindle j adapted to be rotated by a lever j<1>.

Patent GB-191013175-A (GB)
Title: A Stamp Affixing Machine.
Inventor: THUN ALFRED
IPC: B65C9/18
Filed: 1910-05-31
Granted: 1911-05-31
Abstract: 13,175. Thun, A., and Thun, H. May 31. Stamp-applying. - A number of reels 14 of stamps of different values are carried by a drum 11, which can be turned by means of a knob 10 to bring any reel into position for use. The drum is then locked by a screw 6 entering one of the holes 7. The drum is fitted with guidebars 15, between which the stamp-strip is fed by a cam-actuated finger 19. When the knob 10 is raised to turn the drum, the finger 19 is withdrawn by a lever 61. A projection s on the drum removes the curvature of the strip, which passes between plungers 20, 21, and is gripped by a slide 23, while the plungers 20, 21 move to the left and tear off the end stamp. The stamp is then impaled by needles 24 on an arm 25, the plunger 20 swings out of the way, and a pivoted fountain brush 27 moistens the stamp, which is affixed by the plunger 21 upon an envelope in the slot 110. The parts referred to are operated by cams on the main shaft 31 which is turned by a crank 32, Fig. 5, and is prevented by a pawl from turning in the reverse direction. The drum 11 is locked during the affixing operation by a pin 62 entering a hole 63 in its base, Fig. 5. The pin 62 is operated by the crank 32, and the crank is locked at the completion of each turn, until released by pressing a button 75. When a stamp-strip is used up, the operation of the button 75 is prevented, by a spring piece 17 in the stamp guide-way, which closes the circuit of an electro-magnet 77 and operates a catch 78. The letter to be stamped is inserted in a slot 110, and falls on a slide 86, Fig. 1. A closing slide 87 prevents the insertion of a letter except when the slide 86 is closed. To ensure correct positioning of the letter, it is pushed sideways against a stop 116, Fig. 7, by a pin 136 on a pivoted arm 135, operated by pressing a plate 128 when inserting a letter. The means for controlling the envelope are operated by cams on a shaft 91 driven by a chain from the main shaft 31. A camactuated plate 98 co-operates with the plunger 21 in affixing a stamp, and the slide 86 is operated to release the letter, the return of the slide being controlled by a dash - pot. When an envelope is to receive two or more stamps, the slides 86, 87 are kept closed by means of a lever 95 pivoted at 96 and having projections 97, 111, 113. The projection 113 withdraws a stop 116, Fig. 7, and the envelope is moved laterally by a finger 119, Fig. 8, before affixing a second stamp, and is held against return by a finger 120. The fingers 119, 120 are operated by a cam 126 on the shaft 91. If no letter is in the slot 110, the circuit of the lock-operating magnet is closed by a spring pin 143, Fig. 13, and the crank 32 is locked.

Abstract: 14,627. Hollingworth, E., [Crompton & Knowles Loom Works]. June 17. Stop-motions acting on abnormal descent of heald frame. If a heald frame 23, Fig. 4, falls owing to the breakage of one of the straps, hooks, jacks, &c. which support it, it bends a spring 41 adjustably mounted in a bracket 5, 'and thus causes a finger 47 to block the motion of a vibrating part 28 of the warp stop-motion, thereby stopping the loom. Fig. 3 shows a modification, in which the motion of the part 28 is blocked by the end 21<b> of a lever 21, which is pivoted to the bracket 5 and is acted upon directly by the spring 16.

Abstract: 20,615. Bentley, G. H., and Appleby, E. G. Sept. 10. Charges, agitating.- The fuel in a gas-producer is agitated by rotary pokers suspended from a revolving ring at the top of the producer. The producer is provided with a rotary grate which is driven from the same source of power as, but in opposite direction to, the ring supporting the pokers. As shown in Fig. 1, the top of the producer is provided with a ring b rotatably mounted in ball bearings and driven by worm gearing m, n from a shaft o and eccentric r, which serves also to drive the rotary grate s through worm gearing t, u. From the ring b, which may carry the feed-hopper d, are supported the pokers f which are rotated by toothed wheels h engaging with a stationary gear wheel or segment i mounted in brackets k. The lower parts of the pokers are bent to any suitable shape and may be of different length as shown. The pokers may be water-cooled in which case they are made hollow with an inner tube, similar to a Field tube. Water is supplied from a stationary pipe 10 to an annular trough 9 supported on brackets attached to the revolving ring b and connected by suitable joints to the pokers f. The water flows down the inner tube f<2> of each poker and returns through the annular space surrounding it to the overflow pipe 7 and enters an annular trough 12 from which it escapes through a pipe 13 to a fixed trough 14 carried by the brackets k. Fig. 3 shows the application of the above-described poker system to a producer having a stationary grate v and stationary hopper w. The producer is provided with a water - jacket having inlet and overflow pipes. Above the surface of the water, air is supplied which, after becoming heated and saturated with the steam evaporated from the water, is led to the space beneath the grate v.

Abstract: 22,640. Roth, J. F. Oct. 4. Spindle apparatus; driving- arrangements. - A spindle which is coupled to a ring carrier 3 by means of a spring clutch 16<a> is mounted in a footstep 5, which is capable of movement relatively to the carrier in order to build the cop and also to allow the spindle to project from the carrier for the purpose of piecing, and the carrier is driven and maintained in position by parallel bands 37 or cords, additional support being provided by guiding-arms 33 at the upper extremity of the carrier. The spindle is retained in the footstep by a guard disk 7, the space above which serves as an oil chamber, and the footstep support is carried in a movable rail 10 to build the cop but may be moved relatively thereto under the action of a spring 45, when a retaining-catch 11 is released, so as to project the cop from the carrier to facilitate the finding of a brokenend. A disk 17 screwed on the spindle serves as a guide for the spindle and also to stiffen the carrier 3. The carrier is provided at its base with a ring 16 secured to the clutch 16<a>, which is connected with a socket joint or bearing 41, which is held against axial movement by a stirrup 12. The socket joint is lubricated by means of a wick from the lower portion of a surrounding casing 35<a>. A pair of spring- arms 33 bear lightly against the carrier and form guides therefor, but when released by a cam lever 25 they grip the carrier and act as brakes. The surfaces of the arms 33 may be lubricated by means of wicks from reservoirs arranged between the carriers, the excess lubricant being led by draining-edges to a collecting-dish 31, whence it flows to the lower parts of the carrier. The collecting-dish 31 is held by means of bearer blocks 39, Fig. 4, which form the reservoirs that supply lubricant to the surfaces of the arms 33. The driving bands or cords, which also serve as guides for the carriers, are guided by bells 18 mounted on adjustable slides 36. The bells 18 are secured to spindles 27 in casings 20, which are mounted in holders 21 secured to the slides 36 and are pressed towards the spindles by springs 23. The ring carrier may be arranged to receive a guide ring which carries a winding-ring such as described in Specification 16,460/11.
