Title: Improvements in Paper Trimming Machines.
Inventor: NEWTON PHILIP ARTHUR
IPC: B26D7/22
Filed: 1910-03-14
Granted: 1911-03-14
Abstract: 6366. Newton, P. A., [Smyth Manufacturing Co.]. March 14. Splitting &c.- In a machine for trimming a pile of sheets or books, in which the pile is forced through a three-sided knife by a platen which does not come in contact with the knife, the. sheets are clamped between plates 35, 36 during the cutting operation, and released at intervals for the removal of cut sheets on one side of the knife, and the addition of uncut sheets to the pile on the other side. The sheets are supported on edge in a V - shaped trough 7, and are cut by knives 8, 9, 10, each arranged to trim one side of the pile. The knives 8, 9 are adjustably mounted on a frame 17 to allow of variation in the size of sheet cut. The knives are given a longitudinal movement during cutting, by means of a reciprocating cross-head 18, which operates the knives 9, 10 directly and the knife 8 through a lever 31, segmental gear, and a lever 30. The mechanism for advancing the pile comprises plates 35, 36 mounted upon cross - heads 37, 38 slidable on guide-bars 39, 40. The cross-head 38 is connected to a slidable cross-head 41; the crossheads 37, 41 are rigidly connected by side-bars 42, 43, and are reciprocated together by a crank 44 and connecting-rod 45. The clamping-plate 36 is held up by a toggle 46, 47 having an arm 48 between cams 49, 50. At the forward end of the pile-advancing stroke, the cam 49 operates the toggle to clamp the pile. At the rearward end of the stroke, the cam 50 operates the toggle to release the clamp, and trimmed sheets drop into the shoot 68 and slide out. The clamping-plates 35, 36 return together, leaving a space at the forward end of the pile, and untrimmed sheets are added at this end and the pile is again clamped and advanced against the knives. The untrimmed sheets may be fed into the trough from a table 60 by a pusher 63 operated by a cam 67 on the shaft 21. In trimming books that are thickest at the backs, the machine may be arranged to move the pile in a curved path; or, if the trimming-stroke is short. it may be sufficient to adjust the plates 35, 36 by means of screws 57.

Title: Improvements in Rotary Bottling Machines
IPC: B67C3/26
Filed: 1910-03-21
Granted: 1911-02-23
Abstract: 7004. Bratby & Hinchliffe, and Chignell, J. March 21. Bottling.- Relates to rotary counter-pressure bottling - machines in which a diaphragm is employed to control the liquor - delivery valve, such diaphragm being moved to open the valve by the pressure of the gas in the bottle. According to the present invention, the diaphragm is moved in the opposite direction, to close the valve, by a cam acting before the pressure is reduced. The liquor-valve D is connected to the diaphragm h by a bent arm d passing outside the diaphragm chamber H. Above the diaphragm, and acting upon the upper end of the bent arm, is a buffer spring m enclosed in a box M adapted to engage a fixed cam M<1>. If counter - pressure fails on account of a defective bottle, or a bottle being omitted the valve closes automatically, but in the ordinary operation of the machine, the diaphragm is depressed, and the valve D closed by the cam M'. Counter-pressure is admitted to the bottle by a passage b when a valve C is opened by a lever c on the filling- head engaging a stationary cam C<1> within the tank. Within the valve C is a check valve c<1> for the return of air during filling to the tank. The passage b communicates by a by-pass h<1> with the chamber H. When the filling is completed, the neck of the bottle is snifted through a passage g by a valve G operated by a fixed cam G'.

Title: Improvements in and connected with Devices for Removing Stoppers from Cans and other Vessels for Storing Petrol, Spirits and other Liquids.
Inventor: YOUNG EDWARD GEORGE
IPC: B67B7/02
Filed: 1910-04-06
Granted: 1911-03-30
Abstract: 8278. Young, E. G. April 6. Wrenches.-A key for removing the screw stoppers of petrol and like cans is provided with inclined surfaces adapted to be engaged by the projecting portions of a stopper in order that it may be gradually lowered into engagement with the operative parts of the key when one is turned in contact with the other. The key proper is preferably located within a cylindrical or conical recess, and feet, lugs, or the like are provided for securing the device to a suitable part of a car or other object, or a handle may be formed on it. In the form shown in Figs. 1 and 2 the key part is located intermediate of the faces of the ring a and comprises oppositely disposed helical surfaces i terminating in edges j. In operation the stopper is inserted into one of the recesses and turned smartly until its projections engage the edges j, when the momentum of the can loosens or tightens it according to which recess is employed. Another form of device has a conical recess with two or more radial ribs, the rear sides of which are inclined to enable the stopper to be gradually lowered into its recess. Fig. 5 illustrates a duplicate arrangement in which the key parts b are arranged at right-angles to each other to avoid the necessity for turning the can through more than a given angle to engage its stopper. Two key devices, one for tightening and the other for loosening, may be similarly arranged side by side. Fig. 7 shows a conical ring c with key ribs k arranged on a handle to form a spanner. The keys may be formed integral with suitable parts of the car or other objects to which it is desired to apply them. Specification 2461/11 is referred to.

Abstract: 9982. Herzog, E. April 28, 1909, [Convention date]. Circulating or passing fluids through materials. - In liquid-circulation apparatus for bleaching yarns. in bobbins, cop, or other form, &c., the yarns are packed in a rectangular receptacle having two or more perforated walls, which receptacle can be turned upside down on trunnions, so as to reverse the direction of circulation with respect to the materials, and so procure a uniform bleaching action. A drum receptacle, provided with perforated catch trays 12, may be substituted for the rectangular chamber. The receptacle 7 can, further, be withdrawn from its casing 1 on to a truck, for more convenient charging and discharging, by providing a movable part 18 to the wooden trunnion-support 10 so that, the part 18 being removed, the trunnions 8 can be run along on the support 10 by means of rollers. In use, the liquid is pumped up from a lower tank 2 into an upper tank 5 from which it flows through a perforated bottom 6, one of the perforated sides 11 of the receptacle 7, the materials therein, the opposite perforated side 11, and so back to the lower tank 2. When reversal is desired the receptacle 7 is rotated through 180 degrees, as by hand-gear 14, 15, 16, 17, or otherwise. All four of the sides of the receptacle 7 may be perforated and in one side a door 13 is provided through which the material may be packed, either loose or in perforated crates.

Granted: 1911-11-09
Abstract: 15,371. Trottier, R. E. July 6, 1910, [Convention date]. Upward-current classifiers; washing-apparatus with screens.-An apparatus for classifying solid bodies, particularly ores, comprises a series of inclined sifting-surfaces oscillated in water, receiving compartments beneath the sifting-surfaces, and means for classifying by successive subsidence the materials carried by the water and escaping previous classification. In the apparatus shown in Fig. 3, the material is fed at 36 to a sifting-surface supported in a frame 3, which is oscillated with a slow rising motion and quick return by means of a cam 33. The descent of the lever 30 is arrested by a stop 34, and may be accelerated by springs. The links 5, 7 and the point 29 are adjustable. The sifting - surface consists of inclined sieves 1 and shelves 2, beneath which are arranged channels 35 and baffles 40. The heaviest materials advance on the screen and fall into the hopper 17, lighter materials fall into the hoppers 18, 19, while the dust and refuse pass an adjustable ledge 37 and fall into the hopper 20. By graduating the mesh of each sifting-surface and dividing the hoppers 18, 19 into compartments, materials of different volumes in each specific gravity may be separately collected. Light materials are carried along by the water, and are deposited in hoppers 16, 15, 14 to which water may be admitted through pipes 41. Each of the hoppers 14-20 may be discharged automatically by means of a receiver 45 flexibly connected to the hopper at 46 and provided with a valve 47, which is normally held closed by means of links 48, 49 and a spring 50. When the receiver 45 is full, the weight of the material causes the receiver to fall and the valve to open.
