Title: Improvements in Can Labelling Machines.
Inventor: SHULTS JAMES CLEMENT
IPC: B65C3/12
Filed: 1913-04-21
Granted: 1913-11-20
Abstract: 9347. Shults, J. C. April 21. Damping - machines; coating processes.-Relates to can - labelliug machines in which labels are heated and moistened before being pasted, and consists of special means for heating and moistening the labels. Labels are fed from a pile 4 by rotating segments a' and rollers 5 and are carried around a felt - covered drum b by endless bands e, which pass in contact with the drum and around rollers e<1>, e<2> and under a roller d<1> in a water-tank d, and thus convey water to the felt on the drum b. This is heated by steam issuing from perforated pipes c<1> radiating from a central pipe c<2> and vaporizes the water in the felt to moisten and heat the labels. These are stripped from the bands c and pass beneath a pasting-roller g<2>, which receives paste from a roller g<1> rotating in a trough g and is adjustable by screws 54. The pasted labels are conveyed by endless bands h to the cans m. A driving-shaft which runs along the side of the machine drives by bevelgearing all the rollers of the label feeding, moistening, and pasting devices.

Abstract: 11,585. Sargent, G. T. May 19. Tobacco pipes.-In tobacco pipes in which air is mixed with the smoke, the air is directed into the smoke through a passage 10, Fig. 1, in a direction substantially opposite to the direction of flow of smoke along a small passage 1. and the air and smoke enter the chamber 4 together through a wider port or opening 5 and a narrow passage 9. Both passages 1 and 9 may be formed in the end of the stem. The quantity of air may be controlled by moving the mouthpiece towards or away from the stem 2 or an adjustable plug 21, Fig. 6, may be used. Pipes having chambers 4 directly connected to the bowl 3 at the rear end may be adapted as shown in Fig. 4, or by making passages 1, 5, 9, 10 and closing up the direct passage, or air may be admitted to the rear end of the chambers of such pipes without any other modification.

Title: Improved Method of and Means for the Centrifugal Separation of Solid Substances from Liquids.
Inventor: HUGHES JOHN
IPC: B04B11/04
Filed: 1913-10-23
Granted: 1915-01-25
Abstract: 24,038. Hughes, J., Travis, W. O., and Sturgeon, R. A. Oct. 23. Separating liquids from solids by density. -The consolidation and ejection of the solid substances are effected by pressure produced in liquid by centrifugal force. Fig. 1 shows a centrifugal drum 1 fed by a channel 19. The clear liquid escapes through pipes 21 into a trough 15. When the solids have accumulated, the supply is stopped, and liquid is introduced beneath the axially movable piston 2 by a pipe 23. The pressure in this liquid due to centrifugal force causes the piston 2 to rise and consolidate the solids. Ribs 33 are provided on the piston 2 and cover-plate 4, so that the last part of the movement lifts the plate 4 and allows the solids to be discharged into the casing 14. A hook 29 carried by the cover opens a valve 26 to allow the liquid beneath the piston to pass out through a pipe 27. The supply of liquid to the pipe 23 may be cut off automatically. The cover 4 is normally held on its seat by centrifugal weights 13. On admitting fresh liquid for treatment, the piston 2, which has segmental packing-pieces, slowly descends. In a modification, the piston is fixed to the shaft, and the drum is arranged to be axially movable. Fig. 4 shows a further modification in which the machine is double-acting. In this case, the drum 67 is displaced axially, and the liquid causing the displacement is the liquid to be treated. It is admitted by a pipe 79 into a valve 78 in the shaft 75. The valve has pins 80, 82 adapted to be engaged by the end plates of the drum at the end of its travel, and is given sufficient-movement to throw the ports 85, 87 into or out of register with ports 86, 88 in the shaft so as to admit liquid to the upper and lower sides of the piston 89 alternately. The drum 67 is supported by bosses 70, 71, and has end plates 68, 69 which are normally held on the drum by centrifugal weights 93, but are lifted in turn at the end of the strokes of the drum by ribs 108, 110 on the piston. The drum has liquid-discharge channels 105, 106, and the piston has pins 108 for stopping the openings after the liquid has been discharged. In the position shown in Fig. 4, the supply of liquid to the underside of the piston has been interrupted, and the clear liquid is draining away through the passage 106. The weights 93 seat the cover 68 on the drum, and liquid is then admitted to the upper side of the piston, causing the drum to rise. The chamber on the upper side of the piston then becomes the separating- chamber, and the separated solids on the lower side are compressed and finally ejected when the drum reaches the end of its stroke. The action is automatic and continuous. In a modification of the construction shown in Fig. 4, the drum is secured to the shaft, and the' piston is displaced axially.

Abstract: 27,241. Baldwin, T. P. Nov. 26. Carburetting.-In a carburettor for internalcombustion engines, a rotatable throttle valve B is screw-threaded over the nozzle 4 and is arranged, when in its closed position, to close the nozzle outlet as shown. As the throttle is rotated, it is withdrawn from the end of the nozzle over which the fuel trickles, the outside of the nozzle being threaded throughout its length or otherwise roughened. The throttle has an air passage 3 which coincides with the passages 2 in its open position. Wire-gauze screens may be placed at either end of the passages 2, one to filter the air and the other to prevent blowing back.

Abstract: 28,049. Siemens, F. K. Dec. 5. [Addition to 10,824/12 and 17,956/13.] Reverberatory a n d open-hearth furnaces.- Comprises constructions embodying the method of heating described in the parent Specifications. In the furnace shown in Fig. 1, air from the heated chamber b divides into two portions, a small part passing through the conduit e to initiate combustion in the gas-port a, while the remainder passes through the opening cl to the air-port f. A portion of this stream passes round the partition i to the cold chamber, and burns therein with a quantity of gas diverted from the gas - port through the corresponding conduit e. Dampers may be provided in the conduits e so that, when desired, access of air to the gas-flue may be prevented. In the form shown in Fig. 4, the streams of air and gas from the hot chambers 1, 4 respectively divide, part passing through the openings 7, 9 to the cold chambers 3, 2, while the remainder passes to the furnace ports 8, 10, further portions being here diverted to burn in the cold chambers as indicated by the arrows. In another construction, Figs. 6 and 7, in which the air-chambers 1, 2 are situated in front of the gas-chambers 3, 4, the streams of hot air and gas from the chambers 1, 4 divide as before, part passing to the cold chambers while the remainder passes to the furnace ports 8, 10, further portions here being diverted round the partition walls 12. The depending arches shown in Fig. 6 projecting into the chambers 1, 3 may be omitted so that the diverted portions of air and gas pass immediately from one chamber to the other. In another form, Fig. 11, in which the producer 16 forms an integral part of the furnace structure, air from the hot chamber 1 passes through ports 18 to the space 20 above the fuel-bed. The main bodies of both air and gas pass along the furnace hearth, and a small portion burns in the space 20, while the remaining portions pass through ports 21 to the cold chamber 2. The chambers 1, 2 may be connected by a flue, so that, when desired, pure air may be passed direct from the hot chamber to the cold one.
