Granted: 1905-02-02
Abstract: 28,597. Lorenz, W. A. Dec. 28. Stoppers. -In hermetically closing jars, tumblers, &c., by a vacuum process, the sealing- caps and washers are so combined that the washers are secured against displacement during handling and sealing. The invention is shown applied to a tumbler. The lower edges b of the rim of the cap a, Fig. 1, is turned in to form a groove c, which receives the lower edge of the washer g, upon which, for further security, it may be pinched, as shown in Fig. 5. The washer is rhomboidal in cross-section, as shown, and is adapted to form a lining for a flared portion e of the rim of the cap. The cap a is also provided with an inner cover m, the cylindrical portion of which fits a groove n in the cap a, and extends downwards to form a shoulder l, which further retains the washer and prevents it from being crowded upwards when applied to a vessel. The cover m. may be waterproofed paper, glass, sheet metal, or other suitable material. In the modification shown in Fig. 6, the washer is made of uniform cross-section and is sprung into the cap, to the contour of which it may be moulded if desired. The washer may be held by friction alone ; or, an inner cover s may be used.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Finishing, Cooling and Drying Unfinished Articles, especially Unfinished Curved Stereotypes, and also in the said Articles.
Inventor: MITCHELL WILLIAM ROBERTSON
Filed: 1906-10-10
Granted: 1907-10-10
Abstract: 22,420. Mitchell, W. R., [Wood, H. A. W.]. Oct. 10. Stereotype.-Relates to a machine for finishing, cooling, and drying curved stereotype plates and similar articles, of the kind in which the plates move by gravity down an inclined runway as d e - scribed in Specification No. 22,419, A.D. 1906. The plate slides down the runway formed of tapered antifriction rollers 20 and is trimmed on its straight edges by V-shaped cutters b driven by a belt 33 from a pulley 32 driven by gearing 31<a> 32<a> from the main shaft 31. The plate then slides into a trimming-arch c, where it is clamped and trimmed on its concave face, and partly cooled, thence into a cooling-arch, and finally to dry ing-apparatus. The plate g is positioned over a guide-piece 19 behind a stop bar 21 which is moved laterally to release the plate by a cam on a longitudinal shaft 26 driven by worm gearing 38, 39 from the shaft 31. The stop bar is returned to arrest the succeeding plate by a helical spring. The ribs on the internal face of the plate stop short of the edges, thus forming internal flat faces adapted to be engaged by the stops on the bar 21 without arresting the plate. The plate thus released travels down the runway into a water-jacketed trimming-arch c, where it is arrested by a curved stop 42 operated by a cam 44 on the central shaft 26. The plate is clamped by two vertically-moving clamps having antifriction rollers 20 normally in alinement with the runway, one being raised by springs 58 and depressed by a cam and the other raised by rack-and-pinion gearing actuated by a cam 51 and depressed by a spring. A knife on the shaft 26 then trims the plate on its internal face and curved edges; the stop 42 being further raised to clear the knife by its cam 44. The stop 42 then falls by gravity at a point determined by the cam 44 and allows the plate to continue its motion down the runway into the cooling-arch d. The device consists of two concentric arches between which the plate slides supported by tapered antifriction rollers, where it is retained by a transversely sliding stop bar 21<a> similar to the stop bar 21. Water flows contiuually from longitudinal orifices in the crown of the two arches over the faces of the trimmed plate, and collects in a trough 77. Splash guards 71, 79, shaped to allow the stereotypes to clear them, are provided. The drying-device, Fig. 13, comprises a frame 80 having a series of absorbent rollers 84 mounted in inwardly projecting bearings 81, provided with springs 82 and adjusting-screws 83, the surfaces of which bear on the external surface of the plate as it passes beneath. The concave face of the plate is brushed by a brush 91 radially adjustable on arms 90 fast on a shaft 87 rotated by a pin-and-slot coupling 85, 86, 88, 89 from the shaft 26, which is slightly out of alinement with the shaft 87.
