Inventor: KLEIN JOSEPH
Filed: 1908-10-29
Granted: 1909-02-18
Abstract: 23,061. Klein, J. Oct. 29. Cutting-machines for paper.-Relates to machines for cutting webs of paper into pieces of any desired length, in which the upper feed - roll is provided with a longitudinal cutting - blade penetrating into a narrow groove in the lower feed-roll. The upper feed-roll 2 has a longitudinal groove in which is the blade carrier 5, mounted on a shaft 7. The blade 6 is normally retained within the periphery of the feed-roll by a spring 11, and is projected at intervals by means brought into action by a stop 22 on the worm-wheel 21, which gears with a removable worm 23 on the shaft of the roll 2. The pitch of the worm 23 is chosen so that the worm-wheel performs one revolution while the feed-rolls make a number of revolutions corresponding to the length of paper to be cut off. The stop 22 on the worm-wheel strikes against a stop 20 on a lever pivoted at 18, turning the lever so that it releases the projection 16 thereon from the projection 27 on the yoke 15 screwed to a cam 13. This cam is moved laterally by the spring 24, and comes into the track of a roller 9 on a lever fixed to the shaft 7 of the blade carrier, and a projection on the cam 13 turns the blade carrier momentarily into operating position. The stop 22 then passes the stop 20, releasing the lever 16, and a projection 25 on the end of the roll 2 returns the yoke 15 into engagement with the lever 16.

Patent GB-190825535-A (GB)
Title: Process of, and Apparatus for, Obtaining Nitrogen from the Air.
Inventor: BLAGBURN CHARLES
Filed: 1908-11-26
Granted: 1909-06-17
Abstract: 25,535. Blagburn, C. Nov. 27, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Nitrogen is obtained pure by directing a stream of air into contact with sulphur in excess, at not less than the ignition temperature, and conducting off the resulting gases, while removing the unoxidized excess of sulphur and the products of combustion. In the apparatus described, sulphur is fed into a combustion chamber 1, having a slightly sloping bottom 4, through a passage 2 provided with a cover 3, and is initially or continuously heated by means of a fire-box underneath. Air is drawn by suction, either through a pipe 8 into a heating-chamber 5, heated by the burning sulphur under its sloping bottom 6, and thence through pipes 9 on to the sulphur in the combustion chamber 1, or else through the charging-opening 2. From the narrow outlet 7 of the furnace the gases pass through an intensely hot up-take 10 wherein any unburnt oxygen combines with the excess sulphur vapour. The gases then pass cown one subliming-chamber and up another, the excess of sulphur being deposited therein. From the top of the second subliming - chamber the gases pass through three successive washing-towers of different kinds, wherein water is sprayed from the top. Sulphurous acid collects at the bottom of each tower in a liquid seal. Ammonia is next removed by bubbling the gases from a perforated pipe through water or other suitable liquid in a washvessel, whence the gases pass to a second perforated pipe at the bottom of another wash-vessel, half-filled with caustic potash solution to remove any remaining trace of sulphurous acid or carbonic acid gas. If dry nitrogen is required, as for use as a preservative, another vessel half - filled with calcium chloride is interposed between the last wash-vessel and the pump which draws the air into the furnace and through the various chambers, and which now forces the resulting nitrogen into a suitable receiver. In order to economize the caustic potash and calcium chloride, a by-pass pipe between the third washing-tower and the pump, and suitable valves are provided. This passage is used until the gas passing from the pump is found by testing to be sufficiently free of oxygen. The last trace of oxygen can be removed from the nitrogen by leaving iron filings in contact with it in the receiver for a few days.
