Abstract: 658,811. Stoppers. TORRINGA, H. F. March 10, 1949, No. 6571. [Class 125(iii)] In a screw stopper device for containers 1 of the kind in which the inturned ends of a substantially U-shaped loop 7 supporting the stopper project into slots 4 on opposite sides of the container mouthpiece 2 or a threaded member 3 engageable thereon, each inturned end 5 of the loop is shaped and adapted to engage with an abutment 6 or shaped recess 19 provided in the slot into which it projects. The stopper is swung laterally away from the outlet of the container. The closing cap 8, Fig. 1, with an elastic lining disc 9, is carried by the loop which pivots on the threaded ring 3. The loop is first attached to the ring, without spreading the limbs of the loop, by slipping the slots 12 of the pivots 5 over the pins 6 in the slots 4 of the ring, as in Fig. 4, and then rotating the loop until the cap is in the screwing position, as in Fig. 6. The slots 4 may have slight abutments to engage shallow recesses on the loop pivot ends, so that the loop must be forced to assume the position of Fig. 4, and is held upright in the screwing position. In the embodiment shown in Fig. 8 the loop 7 has a threaded ring 17 in which the cover cap 13 engages, and the loop pivots have tapered flattenings 18 which fit in corresponding flattenings 19 in the slots of the mouthpiece to keep the loop in the screwing position. The loop is also held in this position by a resilient annular spring 15 which is fitted in a slit on the mouthpiece when the loop has been positioned. The cover 13 may have a removable plate 14 to indicate the contents &c. The stopper may be fitted on the valves of pneumatic tyres &c.

Abstract: 259,903. Green, T. L., (Assignee of Williams, C. H.). Oct. 14, 1925, [Convention date]. Sheet-cutting machines. - In machines for cutting and embossing biscuits &c., the cutters and embossers are reciprocated by a single crosshead and the embossers are snapped from the material at the instant of embossing. As shown, a crosshead 41, reciprocated through rods 73, supports a cutter head 9, Fig. 16, from which is suspended by bolts 25 and springs 31 the scrap plate 23 which, in turn, supports an embosser head 15 through bolts 33 and springs 35. Within the crosshead 41 are pairs of toggles 139, 141, Fig. 4, carrying shoes 131 adapted to engage the embosser head; the toggles are connected by rods 167 to diametral pins on a rotary member 199 supported lightly on ball bearings and influenced by a spring 207 to straighten the toggles. Upon descent of the crosshead, the embossers 7 are advanced beyond the cutters 5, to engage and emboss the dough sheet supported upon the web 3, through the toggles and shoes 131; at the instant of embossing, a latch 213 on a rod 215 turns the member 199 through a nose-piece 211 and the toggles buckle under the influence of the embosser springs 35 which also move the embossers back within the cutters; the cutters strip the dough from the embossers and descend to cut the dough, being finally raised and stripped by the plate 23 and the embossers. The latch rod 215 is pressed downwardly by a spring 229 and carries a head 239 adapted to contact with a fixed stop 245 adjustably mounted, through worm gear 247, 269, upon a fixed beam 251. A pivoted member 271, operable manually against the action of a spring through a rod 281, is inserted beneath the head 239 to avoid embossing defective dough; and the embossers may be rendered inoperative by the insertion of a pivoted member 287 between the crosshead and a collar 233 on the rod 215. To co-operate with a continuously-moving cutter web the crosshead is supported within standards 61, Fig. 2, carried by a bed 57 supported on links 51 and reciprocated horizontally through links 91, 99 and a pair of adjustable levers 93 by a wrist pin 89 on a shaft 85 which operates the rods 73 through straps 87.

Title: Method of and means for filling bottles and other vessels
IPC: B67C3/16
Filed: 1920-03-10
Abstract: 148,106. Liddle, J., (International Filler Corporation). March 10, 1920. Bottling.-In filling bottles or other vessels, the liquid is sucked in a stream into the vessel from a reservoir against gravity, and the stream is separated at a point between the vessel and reservoir so that part flows to the vessel and part to the reservoir. The reservoir 11, Fig. 1, is placed at a lower level than the bottles 10, and a suction pump 12 draws air from the bottles through flling-heads 13 and an overflow receiver 14, a device 15 to collect the air from the bottles being interposed between the heads and the pump. The level of the liquid in the reservoir is kept constant by means of a float-operated valve 52, and a drain-pipe 38 returns the overflow liquid from the receiver 14 to the reservoir. Each filling-head consists of a member 16, Fig. 2, carrying two concentric tubes or nipples 17, 18 with a rubber gasket 25 on the stem 17 to seal the mouth of the bottle. Tubes 23, 24 are connected to the member 16 in communication with the upper ends of the stems 18, 17 respectively. The tubes 23 of the several heads are connected to a supply-tube 25<1>, which connects with a pipe 27 dipping into the liquid in the reservoir. The tubes 24 are all connected through a tube 26 to the overflow receptacle 14. An air-inlet port 54 in the member 16 opens into the short leg of the liquid conduit near its highest point and to the atmosphere at the bottom of the member. When the head 13 is applied to a vessel, the seal 25 first closes the vessels and then the air port 54, whereupon the pump 12 withdraws the air from the vessel so that the liquid is raised in the siphon conduit from the reservoir into the vessel. When the liqud has reached the level of the lower end of the air passage 20, the head 13 is raised so as to first open the air port 54 and then to unseal the vessel. The liquid in the stems 17, 18 drops into the vessel, and the liquid in the conduit between the ports 54 and reservoir siphons back to the reservoir. Fig. 5 shows a hand-manipulated device for the filling-heads 13. The rear ends of the flexible tubes 23, 24 are secured to Y-couplings 60, to which the tubes 25', 26 are attached. The handle 61 has at its rear end a depending strap 62 carrying clamping-means 63 for the tubes, and at its front end a depending strap 67 carrying a cross-piece 68 to which the heads 13 are secured by screws 70 engaging in slots 69.
