Title: Improvements in Weighing Machines for Giving Printed and like Permanent Records.
Inventor: DENISON GEORGE HENRY
IPC: G01G23/00
Filed: 1912-02-02
Granted: 1913-02-03
Abstract: 2690. Denison, G. H. Feb. 2. Ink-ribbon mechanism.-In a weighing-machine a narrow ink-ribbon is arranged in plies of lengths which lie and travel in the direction of the line of printing. The tape whereon the record is made is wound upon two spools B<1>, B<2>, and the ink-ribbon 1, 2, 3 is guided by a plate E<4> from a bobbin B<6> to a bobbin B<5> in the direction of the arrows. The plate B<4> is provided with apertures to clear the type-wheels and to allow the addition of written data. The plies 1, 2 of the ribbon are above the tape, and the ply 3 is below. The ticket X on which the duplicate is made is inserted beneath the tape and ink-ribbon. The printing-lever B<8> has a small movement relative to the tape-box about a pin B<9>, and after a printing-operation the depression of the printing-lever feeds forward the tape and inking-ribbon. When gross and tare weights are to be printed in different colours, a two-colour ink-ribbon is carried on a sliding plate so that the ribbon may be moved laterally to bring the requisite colour into operation. The ticket to receive the duplicate is carried by the sliding plate. The net weight may be afterwards written on the tape or ticket by the operator. To enable the tape to be replaced and the inking-ribbon to be wound back to its starting position, the tape-box may be unlocked and drawn back from the type-wheels.

Abstract: 6767. Schwab, J. April 12, 1911, [Convention date]. Flues, external.-The flues of a multitubular boiler are so arranged that the furnace gases pass first beneath the boiler shell and then successively through groups of flue-tubes. In the boiler shown, the furnace C extends only half-way across the boiler, and the gases pass backwards and forwards beneath the boiler before passing upwards to the flue-space at the front of the boiler. This space is divided by a vertical and an horizontal partition 13, which cause the gases to pass backwards through the group of flue-tubes 11, and forwards through the group of flue-tubes 12. Dampers 21, 23 may be provided in the back wall E and at the top of the boiler shell to allow the gases to pass more directly to the uptake. The partition 13 is formed of parallel plates spaced apart to enclose an air space in communication with the outside air.

Patent GB-191222249-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Machines for Brushing and Washing Bottles, Jars and like Receptacles.
Inventor: POWLEY MALLINSON
IPC: B08B9/36
Filed: 1912-09-30
Granted: 1912-12-05
Abstract: 22,249. Powley, M., Powley, R., and Powley, W. Sept. 30. Bottles, washing.-The machine for washing bottles described in Specification 15,688/11 is modified in the following respects. (1) The internal rotary brushes are connected to the reciprocating members, and the end or bottom brushes are fixed; (2) the exterior of each bottle is brushed by a single large rotary brush fitted beneath the bottles and rotated in the same direction as the internal brushes. The bottles are pressed down on to the brush by rollers which also deflect them so that they are not in line either vertically or horizontally with the internal brush spindles. In the four - -bottle machine shown, the reciprocating movement of the internal brush shafts 25 is obtained by means of links 23 which connect them to superposed shafts 13 reciprocated by crank mechanism at the ends of the shaft 8 driven by a worm on the main driving-shaft. The rotary movement of the internal brush shafts is obtained by gearing them to the external brush shafts 35 which are rotated by trains of spurwheels gearing with a common spur-wheel on the main driving-shaft. In operation, the necks of the bottles are placed against sockets 44 on adjustable cross-heads arranged so that the bottom end of each bottle abuts against the conical surface of one of the rollers 45 near its outer end. The forward movement of the internal brushes pushes the bottles away from the sockets until the ends abut against the fixed brushes 57, while the return movement brings the bottles back again to the sockets ready for removal. Additional plain or conical rollers 46 prevent excessive lateral movement of the bottles. To permit the machine to be used for bottles of varying diameter, the rollers are carried by adjustable pivoted arms mounted on the framing.

Title: Improvements in Mechanical Stokers.
Inventor: RILEY ROBERT SANFORD
IPC: F23K3/12
Filed: 1913-01-14
Granted: 1913-06-12
Abstract: 1067. Riley, R. S. Jan. 14. Mechanical stoking.-Fuel is fed by reciprocating pushers 18 to troughs or channels formed between vertical walls built up of inclined bars 31 on which are mounted air-supplying grate blocks 30. These bars are given an adjustable reciprocating motion by means of sliding bars 34 secured to them and carrying bolts 36, between the heads 37 of which and adjustable nuts 38 work wrist-pins 25 secured to the plungers 18. The lower ends of the bars are each connected to a shoe 39 sliding on a plate 40. Plates 33 and ledges 42 secured to the bars support plates 43 at the rear end of the bottom plates 14 of the fuel-channels. The grate-blocks 30, which form the upper portion of the walls of the fuel-channels, overlap as shown in Figs. 4 and 5'(Fig. 4 being a section on the line 4-4 of Fig. 1), and are formed so as to provide air-supply openings at the sides, by means of projections 68, 68<a>, to which openings air is supplied by passages 46. Ribs 48 are formed on their upper faces. Below the plates 33 are air-supplying members 50 attached to the reciprocating bars 31 and extending the whole width of each trough so as to form a grate surface. They are provided with ribs 51. Air is supplied to the space beneath the stoker by a fan 56, driven from the shaft 21 of the stoker, the air and fuel supplies being thus always proportionate. The air passes to the fuel through the openings in the air-supplying members 30, 50, the supply to the latter being regulated by a damper 55. An ash-support 58 is provided, formed of plates connected to chains 59. They rest upon longitudinallymovable bars 60, whereby the area of the ashsupport may be varied. Pushers 39<b> on the shoes 39 of the reciprocating bars 31 force the ashes over the support, the rate of discharge being varied by adjusting the area of the support and of the discharge opening by means of the bars 60, by varying the travel of the pushers 39<b> by the adjustable nuts 38, or by moving the ash-support vertically and substituting a pusher 39<b> of corresponding height.

Hats, securing to head. - Relates to hatfasteners of the type in which a number of pins or the like are projected into the hair by rotating a ring to which they are attached. Fixed to an adjustable bandeau a, Figs. 1 and 2, is a guide or sleeve consisting of a flexible tube c, having bent-out openings d through which pins k project. The material of the bandeau is wrapped around the tube c and held in place by clips g of the form shown in Fig. 3, the points h being passed through the material and bent over the other end, and the arm i inserted in the opening d. The ballpointed pins k and flexible member j to which they are attached are made of metal or of horn or other non-metallic substances, the straight portion n being pointed and threaded to receive a knob q. Movement is limited by a collar l adapted to abut against a plug m. In a modification, the sleeve is formed of a length of coiled wire s, Fig. 6, wound on a mandrel of such a shape as to produce oval turns t locally, as shown, so as to form openings for the pins. Fig. 9 shows another form of guide in which two metal strips v, w are spaced apart by studs 1, the inner strip being cut and bent to form openings d. In a further modification, a strip 2, Figs. 10 and 11, is slit from one edge at points 3, and the intervening portions are bent over to form eyes 4, in some of which there are openings x. The device may be so shaped that its material forms a bandeau or distance-piece for the hat.
