Title: Improvements in Machines for Making Bags of Paper or other suitable Material.
Inventor: BAKER GEORGE SAMUEL
IPC: B31B7/28
Filed: 1909-11-22
Granted: 1910-11-22
Abstract: 25,580. Baker, G. S., and Boulnois, G. Nov. 22, 1909. Paper bags, making. - In a machine for making paper bags or packets, a paper blank is folded round a hollow former which forms part of the packing - machine described in Specification 27,134/09, [Class 94(i), Packing &c.]. Two webs of paper 1, 2 are stuck together in passing between feed - rolls 9, 10, the web 1 previously having had lines of adhesive applied to its lower surface by a spider 46 rotating above and dipping into a gum trough 7. The compound web is fed between cutters 11, 12 which separate a portion of the web, and the detached portion is fed by rolls 13, 14 between feed bands 15, 16 and then conveyed below a presser plate 17, which presses the two thicknesses of paper together. The cutting-device consists of a fixed blade 12 and a movable blade 11, and the blade 11 has a doubly inclined cutting-edge with the highest point at the centre. While the blank is being pressed by the plate 17, the front and rear edges of the underside are gummed by wipers which dip into a gum trough 18 arranged below the presser plate. The blank is now carried beneath a hollow former 21 about which it is wrapped by the folders. These folders, shown in plan in Fig. 11, consist of side plates 80<a> which make the lower tuck folds on opposite sides of the bag, and pivoted wing folders 92 which wrap the paper round the sides of the former. The plates are attached to a vertically moving base 73, and when they have made the lower tucks they are withdrawn by springs. The base continues its upward movement, and side plates 68, which are fixed to it and are provided with cam paths 69 in which move rollers 70 in the folders 92, cause these folders to make their inward movement and fold the paper round the former. The paper-feed rollers are actuated by a ratchet mechanism, and a device is provided for throwing the pawl out of engagement with the ratchet.

Inventor: ELLIS GEORGE BELOE
IPC: D01F2/28
Filed: 1911-02-16
Granted: 1911-09-07
Abstract: 3973. Ellis, G. B., [Chemische Fabrik von Heyden Akt.-Ges.]. Feb. 16. Acetates and other carboxylates.-Fatty acid esters of cellulose are dissolved in the same acid as that of which the ester is formed, with addition of a quantity of precipitating-agent (water, solutions of bases or salts, or the same fatty acid) insufficient to cause precipitation; artificial silk &c. is then obtained by introducing such solutions into a bath of the precipitating- agent.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Windows.
Inventor: CHADDOCK GEORGE ALBERT
IPC: E05F11/32

Granted: 1912-02-15
Abstract: 28,755. Chaddock, G. A. Dec. 20. Horizontally and vertically pivoted sashes, in combination, opened and closed simultaneously. -Relates to windows of the kind described in Specification 25,063/06, consisting of a vertically pivoted sash 2, and a horizontally pivoted sash 3 mounted in a vertically sliding frame 4, the sashes 2, 3 opening simultaneously when the frame 4 is raised by a shaft 5 which is rotated by bevel-gearing. The lower end of the shaft 5 and the shaft 14 are mounted in bearings carried by a plate 10 which is secured in a recess in the portion 9 of the mullion 7 of the fixed sash 1, the mullion consisting of two parts 8, 9. The handle 6 is formed with a square pin 15 engaging a socket in the shaft 14 and may be attached thereto by means of a split pin 18. The shaft 5 is in two portions, the upper portion, which passes freely through a stepped helical guide 21 of the form described in Specification 21,740/02, having secured on its lower end a sleeve 12 having a square socket which engages the squared end of the lower part of the shaft 5. The upper end of the sleeve 12 abuts against the fixing-plate 20 of the guide member 21, this fixing-plate being formed with a rib or ribs 24 on its underside to prevent water from getting underneath it. The upper end of the shaft 5 is screwed and works in a sleeve 29 secured to a plate 28 on the frame 4, so that when the shaft 5 is turned the frame 4 is raised, thus causing the pivoted sash 3, which is connected to the fixed frame by links 31, to open. During this movement, the projections 33 on the sleeve 29 slide in slots in the boss 34 on a plate 26 on the sash 2, but when the collar 35 abuts against the underside of the plate 26, the sash 2 is first raised and then rotates owing to the engagement of the sleeve 23 and the sash with the helical guide 21. The upper portion 27 of the sleeve 29 is thickened to give greater strength; and to prevent the projections 33 from entering the wrong slots when the window is closed, one projection is made wider than the other, as shown in Fig. 6.

The apparatus shown consists of an inner chamber b for the wares, and an outer casing formed of a lining a, an outer wall c capable of withstanding outward pressure, and an intermediate filling of non-conducting material, which is packed tight so as to hold the elements of the inner structures firmly in place. The chamber b is preferably two or three times as high as it is wide and has an arched top formed of curved members extending from one vertical wall to the other. Both the chamber b and the lining a are built of tubes or blocks having interfitting edges. The arched portion of the lining a is supported on the chamber b by curved ribs b<1> having openings for the passage of the furnace gases. The chamber and outer casing are spaced apart to form upwardly tapering side flues and back and front flues q, p, the latter of which runs between the door d of the chamber b and a second door s. A third door u supported by the outermost casing is also provided, and the space between the two doors s, u may be filled with non-conducting material. An observation tube v closed by a mica window extends through the three doors. The kiln is heated by liquid or gaseous fuel burners inserted through openings k or by solid fuel burnt on a perforated fireclay slab l. The gases are distributed evenly by a fire-brick partition m, and after traversing the vertical flues pass to a chamber o at the top of the kiln and thence to the chimney. Pipes z, z' leading from the chambers o, b to the atmosphere are provided for supplying cooling air to the flues and for allowing the escape of moisture from the chamber b during the drying of the ware. The flue r is formed with a filling of broken fire-brick between inner and outer casings of fire-brick and iron respectively, and is -surmounted by a chamber x covered by a conical cap y.
