Filed: 1911-03-14
Granted: 1912-03-14
Abstract: 6354. Hopkinson, F. T. March 14. Vehicles, marshalling and manipulating.- Vehicles to be loaded with excavated material are drawn beneath a hopper up an inclined platform running on the rails and provided with switches, turntables, traverses, &c., by which the loaded vehicle may run on to the return line of rails when released from the hauling- winch. In the arrangement shown in plan in Fig. 1, the inclined platform c runs on wheels n on the track a and is provided with extension rails carried on sleepers g, h, i, j and terminating in tongues q resting on the rails a. Crossover rails d terminating at the upper end in a suitable switch are also carried by the platform. These rails are supported on sleepers e, f, g, k, l, m, and terminate in tongues r resting on the return rails b. The hauling winch z runs on the rails b on an independent frame or may be carried by the platform. The platform may run on both sets of rails a, b. Modifications are described in which pairs of parallel tracks are mounted on the platform and turntables or endless chain traverses are provided at the upper end. A buffer s is mounted at the front end of the platform.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Sweating Pans for Sweating Out from Crude Paraffin or like Mixtures, Substances which Melt at Different Temperatures.
Inventor: PYZEL EWALDUS DANIEL
IPC: C10G73/36
Filed: 1910-09-26
Granted: 1911-10-26
Abstract: 8280. Pyzel, E. D. Sept. 26, 1910. Paraffin, purifying by sweating. Relates to trays for use in a process of sweating paraffin &c., in which the trays, mounted in an inclined position on trucks, are passed into an oven.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Labelling Machines.
IPC: B65C1/02
Filed: 1911-04-05
Granted: 1912-03-21
Abstract: 8457. Day & Sons, J., and Day, A. April 5. Feeding sheets. - Relates to machines for labelling packages, bottles, boxes, &c., and includes label-feeding devices. Labels are taken from the bottom of a holder 22 by gummed pickers, and are carried by an horizontally reciprocating gripper 66 to a position above an article to which it is affixed by a verticallyreciprocating plunger 134. The holder 22 for the pile of labels has elastic sides 25 adjustable by screws 28, similarly to that described in Specification 4149/10, and may be hinged to the machine frame as shown in Fig. 6, being secured by bolts 23. The labels rest on pins 31, Fig. 7, in the members 25, or in the holder 22. A block 33 in the side of the holder is pressed in by a cam 34 on the affixing plunger 134, when the adhesive separator 41 has raised the pile, to retain this in the raised position until the bottom label is withdrawn. The separator 41 has an inner part 42, Fig. 6, carried by a spring-pressed rod 53, Fig. 7. As the separator descends with a label, a fork 56 carried by a cam-operated rod 58 arrests the member 42, and the member 41 continues to descend, leaving the ends of the label unsupported and free to be seized by the grippers 66, 67. This is carried by a slide 76 which is reciprocated by a camoperated lever through a resilient connexion. The jaw 67 is fixed to the slide, and the jaw 66 is pivoted thereto and is rocked by a rod 86, a runner 88, and a vertically-reciprocating plate 89, which is raised by a spring 98 and lowered by a cam - operated rod 96. Spring gripping-plungers 85 are carried by the jaw 66, and the jaw 67 is grooved. A projection 84 on the gripper slide coacts with a stop 52 on the separator 41 to position the jaws for seizing the labels, after which the fork 56 allows the member 42 to descend to receive adhesive from a roller 110, Fig. 6. The gripper then carries the label above the article to be labelled.

Title: Improvements in Dobbies of Looms for Weaving.
IPC: D03C1/36
Filed: 1911-05-19
Granted: 1912-02-29
Abstract: 12,084. Whalley, T. H. May 19. Dobbies.-In a cross-border dobby, two cylinders c, b, Fig. 1, acting on duplicate sets of feelers which control the jacks g, are operated by catches e, f controlled by cords j connected to two of the jacks. The cylinder c carries the pattern chain, Fig. 3, for the body of the cloth, and the cylinder b carries a measuring and border pattern chain, Fig. 4. The pegs 19, 20 on each chain control the jacks g to which the cords are connected. When the body pattern chain, Fig. 3, is making its first round, the first blank lag, Fig. 4, is presented to the feelers and the catch f is held out of operation, bout when the lag 7, Fig. 3, comes beneath the feelers, both catches e, f are operated, thus bringing the lags 8, Fig. 3, and 2, Fig. 4, into operation. Lag 2, Fig. 4, operates--both catches e, f and brings lag 1, Fig. 3, and lag 3, Fig. 4, into operation, after which the body pattern chain makes another round, the chain, Fig. 4, remaining stationary. The cylinder c continues to be operated in this way until the lag 20, Fig. 4, is brought beneath the feelers, after which the cylinder b turns and the cylinder c remains stationary until a lag 28 pegged to operate both catches e, f comes beneath the feelers acted on by the pattern chain on the cylinder b. In a modification, each of the two pattern chains controls the rotation of the other cylinder, but does not control the rotation of the cylinder which carries it.

Title: Improved Process and Apparatus for Treating Melted Metals, Alloys and Steels.
Inventor: BARADUC-MULLER LOUIS
IPC: C21C7/10
Filed: 1911-06-01
Granted: 1912-05-09
Abstract: 13,188. Muller, L. Baraduc-. June 1. [Addition to 30,198/10.] Modifying physical characters of metals.-The process and apparatus for extracting gases from molten metal described in the parent Specification is modified by producing the vacuum directly above the metal by bringing the vessel containing the metal directly below a chamber through which the gases are exhausted. The apparatus comprises a vertical cylinder A containing a bundle of tubes B, round which cooling-fluid is circulated and surrounded at the bottom by a washer b adapted to form a tight joint with a flange c on the ladle F containing the molten metal. The bottom of the cylinder A preferably has an extension o to keep the washer b cool. The carriage carrying the casting-ladle may be brought on to the platform of an hydraulic press G. To prevent admission of air through the seat d of the casting-hole plug e, the opening is closed by a thin sheet g, which is perforated or detached by the molten metal when the plug is withdrawn. The cooler A may be combined with a second similar cooler H connected to it by a pipe M, the lower part of the cylinder H being connected by a pipe N to the pumps. When the extraction is finished, air may be admitted by opening the cylinder A to the atmosphere, or by connecting the cylinder A to a second evacuating-apparatus so as to diminish the work required from the pumps in evacuating the second apparatus. The heat imparted to the liquid in the cylinders A, H may be used for heating water, the steam produced serving to supply a motor. In this case, the washer b should be separately cooled..
