Title: Oil Cake Forming Apparatus
Inventor: BISBEE EDGAR CHARLES
Filed: 1903-09-22
Granted: 1903-10-29
Abstract: 20,361. Bisbee, E. C. Sept. 22. Moulding food for animals.-In machines for preparing oilcake from flax and other seeds the cakes are successively formed, compressed and ejected, and cloth is wrapped round them, and plates are placed between them automatically so as to prepare a stack of cakes ready to be introduced into a press. Fig. 1 is a front elevation of the apparatus and Fig. 11 part of a side view. The meal is fed into a rectangular recess in the bottom of the heater A, a cover is brought over it by the revolution of the vertical shaft 22 and the sliding plunger 6 (Fig. 11) compresses it and forces it through a spout on to the receiver D. The plunger is reciprocated by arms 27 attached to endless chains 25 driven by sprocket gearing from the main shaft 46, and it may be thrown out of gear by raising the arm 31 and so preventing the entrance of the cross-bar 29 into the hook 30. When the meal is sufficiently compressed, one end of the rod 13 (Fig. 11) is disengaged from a projection on the heater, and the other comes into contact with the flange 18 on the plunger, and so pushes out the cover 8 of the spout. The cakes on the truck J and the plates M on the truck I are lowered and raised respectively, step by step, by means of the racks 57', 55 driven from the shaft 69, by pinions and the chain gearing shown. These movements occur when the bar 70, attached to the chains 75, strikes against the teeth of a cog wheel on the shaft 69, two ratchets being provided to prevent movement at any other time. The cloth 99, from the roll 100 carried by the truck I, is wrapped round the cakes by a travelling carriage L provided with rollers 95, 96, 97 between which the cloth passes. The plates M are fed on to the cakes by spring tongues 72, with shoulders 73, carried by the same carriage L. As the chains 75 travel in the direction indicated, the bar 70 engages with yokes 74 on the carriage L and slides it forward to the end of its travel, then moves round the curved surface 87 and engages shoulders on the pivoted dogs 89 and returns the carriage to the original position, when the dogs 89 are tripped out of the way and the cycle is recommenced. The chains 75 are driven by chain and bevel gearing from the main shaft 46. In another form of heater, a slide projects into the recess in the base and regulates the quantity of meal admitted.

Title: Improvements in Thermo Electric Couples.
Inventor: BRISTOL WILLIAM HENRY
Filed: 1904-06-28
Granted: 1904-08-11
Abstract: 14,543. Bristol, W. H. June 28. Pyrometers.-A thermo-electric couple, formed of inexpensive elements, such as steel and nickel, and applicable for use in pyrometers and thermic batteries, is rendered sensitive to changes of temperature by reducing the cross-section of the elements near their junction, the shanks a, b being of comparatively large area. The outer ends of the elements are of small area and may be maintained at a substantially constant temperature by a jacket D, through which water, air, or steam circulates. To prevent oxidation, the shanks a, b, and the ends c, d, are encased in a refractory, non-conducting covering of asbestos, clay, porcelain, or other suitable material, which is protected by a coating of graphite, or by a sheathing of iron or steel. The covering is thinner at the junction of the metals than at other parts. In a modification, the elements of the couple are divided at the ends, near the junction, into a number of parts having an aggregate area equal to, or greater than, that of the single reduced parts shown.

Patent GB-190426065-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Machinery for Making Perforated Paper and Metal Sheets for use in the Mechanical Playing of Music
Inventor: COLLEY WALTER WILLIAM
Filed: 1904-11-30
Granted: 1905-11-16
Abstract: 26,065. Colley, W. W. Nov. 30. Automatic instruments. -The perforations in a stencil 60 are reproduced by a series of perforating-pins 6, co-operating with a die-plate 3 and working through a guideplate 5, in sixteen layers of thin sheet metal or paper, four from each of the rolls 51, 52, 53, 54. The material passes through fluted rollers 43, 44 to the perforating- pins, and on through similar rollers 45, 46 out of the machine. The two pairs of fluted rollers are geared together. The stencil passes round a roller built up of rings 66 and smaller rings 59, and is advanced one-tenth inch during each revolution of a cam shaft 12 by a cam 38, Fig. 5, which acts through a connecting- rod 39 to rotate, by means of double pawls, the ratchet-wheel 41 by which the stencil roller and all other rotating parts are driven through toothed gearing. The perforating-pins have flat heads and points and are carried loosely by a plate 8 attached to a cross-piece 9 on the underside of an upper crosshead 14. A bar 10, mounted on arms 77 and reciprocated by cams 11 acting through rods 76, presses down all the pins until their heads are flush with the top of the plate 8 after each punching operation. The apparatus for picking out the punches to be used consists of a number of pivoted levers 79 having rods 63 at one end and fingers 70 connected to the other. One rod 63 is placed opposite each groove in the stencil roller, and, when a perforation in the stencil is brought opposite a rod, a spring 75 forces the rod into the stencil and at the same time interposes the corresponding finger 70 between its perforating- pin and the rod 10, so that, when the upper crosshead is pressed down, the pin is forced through the material. Pins which are not held in place by fingers 70 simply rest on the material when the crosshead is depressed. The upper crosshead 14 is connected to a lower crosshead 17 by pillar rods 15 which pass through guideways in the frame and stretcher 16. The pillar rods are formed in two parts connected by the intermediate connection 78 through which the main shaft 21 passes. Keyed on the main shaft are two strap eccentrics 25, having plungers 26 which pass through guide-holes 33 in shoes 28 working in guideways on the lower crosshead 17. The shoes are reciprocated by means of cams 32 and springs 31, and, when the holes 33 are pushed out of line with the plungers, the crossheads are forced down against the action of springs 19, thus effecting the perforation of the material. After each perforation, a rod 65, operated by cams 37 acting on pivoted levers 69, withdraws the rods 63 from the stencil so that the rotating parts of the machine can feed forward the stencil and the material under operation. Springs 68, 71 return the rod 65 to its original position. The stencil is wound upon the roll 62 by means of a hand-wheel.

Title: An Improved Machine particularly applicable for Coating with Colour Portions of Envelope Blanks
Inventor: GAUT ALBERT ALEXANDRE
Filed: 1904-12-30
Granted: 1905-12-14
Abstract: 29,033. Gaut, A. A., and Blancan, P. A. Dec. 30. Envelopes. - Relates to a machine which is particularly suitable for applying colour to portions of envelope blanks, so that the insides of the completed envelopes, except the portions which are to be gummed, are coated with colour. A carriage c is traversed by a crank g<1> beneath a colour - applying brush l, and carries a table a for supporting a pile of envelope blanks and a stencil plate d, both the table a and stencil plate being pressed upwards independently by springs. The height of the stencil plate d is governed by longitudinal bars e, beneath which engage rollers or projections d' connected with the stencil holder. In the extreme position to the right shown in Fig. 2, owing to the form of the bars e, the stencil plate is above the pile of blanks on the table a, which is prevented from rising by a set of automatic brakes applied to the guide-rods a<1> of the table. When the carriage is moved to the left the stencil is depressed upon the pile of blanks, and the table a is released from its brakes and pressed upwards against the underside of the stencil, so that when it moves beneath the brush l the colour is applied to the desired portion of the uppermost blank. As the carriage approaches again its extreme position on the right, the brakes are again applied to prevent the table a from rising, and the stencil is again raised above the pile of blanks to allow of the uppermost one being removed. When all the blanks have been coloured, the table a is depressed by a handle w to a distance sufficient to allow another pile of blanks to be placed thereon, the brakes above referred to preventing the table from rising during this operation. The brake apparatus consists of a number of brake levers h, Figs. 7 and 8, which may engage with the guide-rods a<1> of the table a and are connected by spring levers i to a spring disc j, provided with a lever j<2> carrying a roller j<3> and resting with its bevelled end on a bevelled portion of one of the guide-rods a'. As the carriage approaches its extreme position to the right, the roller j<3> engages with a fixed stop k on the frame, when the further movement of the carriage causes the levers h to be applied to the guide-rods a, thereby preventing the table from rising at the end of the traverse. The colour is supplied to the brush l from a trough q by means of intermediate adjustable rollers r, s, t.
