Title: Improved Construction of Bottle Washing Machine.
Inventor: WICKHAM DENNIS
Filed: 1904-12-30
Granted: 1905-11-23
Abstract: 29,035. Wickham, D. Dec. 30. Bottles, washing. - The bottles are made to reciprocate successively between a free position in which one bottle is knocked off and another inserted in place and a position, between rotating brushes, wherein the brushes are supplied with hot or cold water and the interiors of the bottles with water and air or steam, the supplies of these fluids being cut off or allowed according to the position of the bottle being treated. The brushes are rotated through pinions E, F and a chain l and sprocket-wheels from the driving-shaft k. The bottle is carried in a cup resting on ball bearings on a collar I of a tube H which encloses and slides over concentric tubes J, K. This tube is supported by cords attached to arms q on it, passing over pulleys and carrying weights P. The bottom of the bottle rests against a cap moving on ball bearings in a head U attached to an arm S, which is made to reciprocate by means of a connecting-rod T or other device operated through a wheel i and another wheel j on the driving-shaft. The bottle rests against a fork e on an arm sliding in the head U and carrying a weighted lever f which, when the arm S rises so as to free the bottle from the head U, knocks the bottle into a tray u or on to a carrier band ; a stop h on the head U limits the movement of the lever. The valves Y, Z, Figs. 2 and 7, which control the fluid supply are opened against the actions of springs by means of levers X, the rollers r on the ends of which are pushed apart by the cam-shaped or bevelled lower end of the sliding tube H. Steam or air is thus supplied to the outer tube J, and water passes up the inner tube K and also through the tube s and the tube a to the brushes. The brushes travel in opposite directions, one twice as fast as the other. According to the Provisional Specification, the bottle is placed in the machine in a leaning position, so that, when the head U releases it, it falls automatically.

Title: Improvements in and connected with Devices for Manufacturing Paper Bags.
Inventor: HUGO THEODOR
Filed: 1905-10-23
Granted: 1906-08-09
Abstract: 21,542. Hugo, T. Oct. 23. Drying paper bags.- The formblocks, on which block-bottom &c. paper bags are formed and dried, pass in succession through a frame situated in a drying-chamber, and, after the finished bags have been removed, are returned to the station at which fresh bag-blanks are supplied. As the intermittently-rotating carrier f takes each formblock a from the station B to the station C, the form-block is provided with a bag-blank, which is pasted and wrapped round the form-block to make a tube. On reaching the station C, the form-block is ejected from the carrier by a cam-operated plunger h, which forces it into a guiding-groove formed by the lower edges of the fixed side-frames c, Fig. 2. The bottom of the bag is folded as the form-block passes along the first half of the guiding-groove, thus allowing the bag to dry before the formblock reaches the intermittently-rotating carrier f<1>, which is similar to the carrier f. The bag is removed from its block when in its last position in the guide. When the carrier f<1> has turned the form-block through half a revolution, a plunger forces the form-block into a second guiding-groove, which leads it to its initial position in the carrier f.
