Patent GB-190913518-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Channelling Machines.
Inventor: ROEPER WILHELM
IPC: E21C25/64
Filed: 1909-06-09
Granted: 1910-06-09
Abstract: 13,518. R÷per, W. June 9. Percussive channelling-drills.-In channelling- machines having automatic travelling and reversing gear, the travelling gear is operated by an independent motor so as to allow the percussive drill to be set at any angle with respect to the supporting-column. The motor 3 reciprocates a rack c which, through a ratchet-wheel e and gearing z, drives a worm g gearing with a fixed worm-wheel k, thus causing the machine to travel round the supporting-column l. The slide o<1>, as the drill moves round the column, comes into contact with a spring q and compresses it. The depending arm of a duplex pawl o<3> then contacts with a stud q<1>, the longer arm of the pawl is disengaged from the edge of the frame h, the spring q moves the slide over, and the long arm of a second pawl o<2> falls into engagement with the edge of the frame h. A push-bar n actuated by the slide o<1> moves the ratchet-wheel e out of gear with the rack, and moves an oppositely-acting ratchetwheel e<1> into gear, and the travel is reversed. The percussive drill is mounted in bearings on the frame h and may be set to any inclination.

Granted: 1910-06-30
Abstract: 15,647. Lessing, R. July 5. Carbon electrodes, making.-Carbons formed by moulding, pressing, and baking, are prepared directly from a material obtained by extracting part of the volatile matter from pitch, tar, petroleum residues, or similar material containing free carbon, sufficient volatile matter being left to bind the carbon particles in the succeeding operations. The volatile matter may be extracted by adding a quantity of solvent insufficient to dissolve the whole of the volatile matter; or the whole of the volatile matter may be dissolved, the concentration of the solution being arranged so that on separation sufficient volatile matter remains with the residue. The solvent used may be chosen to effect a selective solution of the volatile matter. Additional binding - material may be added if necessary.

Granted: 1910-03-17
Abstract: 26,761. Decker, W. H. June 30. Moulding pulp hollow-ware.-Bilged barrel-bodies are made by winding a sheet of paper pulp on a bilged mandrel so as to form a body composed of a series of superposed undistorted layers by means of the apparatus shown. The pulp is taken from a tank A by a rotating bilged roll B, consisting of a perforated metal shell covered with wire netting. Inside the roll is a suction box C mounted on a shaft D, which is adjustable horizontally and also rotatably. The pulp is blown across to the concave transfer roll E by means of a blast of air from a row of tubes connected to the pipe G, and then passes on to the bilged mandrel M. The roll E is composed of independently rotatable sections, mounted on a fixed shaft F, and frictionally driven from the drum H which also drives the roll B. If desired, they may be rotated from the mandrel M which in that case is driven. The apparatus forms the subject-matter of Specification 15,269/09.

Abstract: 20,152. Lake, W. E., [Comins, F. B.]. Sept. 11. Actuating.-An auxiliary valve for controlling the supply or exhaust of pressure fluid for operating a main valve admitting moisture is controlled by two expansion members one of which acts directly on the valve, and the other deflects a support carrying a pipe with an outlet controlled by the valve. One member consists of a bar 10 connected with the auxiliarv valve 24, and the other member 8 is connected with the bar 10 or with the valve. The member 8 is covered by a wick 12 dipping into a pipe 13 connected with a water reservoir. The valve 24 is carried by an arm 23 on a support 20, which is mounted on flexible arms 19 on a base 16, and carries a flexible pipe 22 with an outlet 21 controlled by the auxiliary valve. Expansion of the bar 10 causes the valve to close the outlet, and, if the member 8 expands at the same time, the support 20 is deflected and the outlet opened. The base 16 is adjustable about a pivot. In a modification, the outlet 21 and valve arm 23 may act as terminals for controlling the main valve electrically.

Granted: 1912-12-19
Abstract: 29,032. Rose Bros., [Edmonston, W. 0.]. Dec. 23. Capsules, applying.-A bottle-capping machine, operated by fluid pressure and automatically adjustable for bottles of varying height, semi-automatic in operation, and provided with cushioning-means to prevent injury to the bottles, is shown in Fig. 1. The bottle 5 is placed upon a standard 2, and a capsule is inserted in a recess in the end of a tubular plunger 61. A foot-operated lever 52 is then depressed and, by means of its connecting-rod 47, Fig. 2, and hooked arm 45, draws down the slide valve 41 to the position shown, the lug 48 on the arm 45 then striking the side of the valve chamber and thus tilting the arm sideways so that it strikes a projection on the supply valve 35 and opens the valve. The pressure fluid then passes into the cylinder and forces the pistons 59, 67 down on to the bottle neck. The plunger 69, of the inner piston 67, engages with the capsule and holds it upon the bottle neck, which stops the downward movement of the plunger. The tubular plunger 61 continues to move downwards and crimps the capsule around the bottle neck. As the pressure in the cylinder rises, a spring-pressed valve 74 opens, the valve stem tilts a bent lever 83 having one arm normally acting as a stop to a piston 77 on the slide valve stem, the piston thus freed is raised by the pressure on its lower surface and raises the slide valve to its top position. The pressure fluid is thus admitted to the bottom end of the cylinder, and the capsuling-plungers are raised and the capsuled bottle is removed. The footlever is next released, and its connecting-rod 47 moves upwards until the hooked arm 45 strikes a cam-surface 53, which causes the hook to engage the slide valve ready for the next operation. Cushioning - chambers 18, 54 are provided at the ends of the cylinder.
