Title: New or Improved Machine for Making Paper Bags and for Packetting Tobacco and other Materials.
Inventor: BRACY EDWARD LEROY
Filed: 1908-02-01
Granted: 1909-01-28
Abstract: 2335. Bracy, E. L. Feb. 1. Packeting; paper and like bags.-Relates to machines in which tobacco &c. is packed in paper bags made on formers in the same machine. The sheets of paper, of the form shown in Fig. 20, are fed along an horizontal guideway 7, Fig. 5, beneath a suitable gumming-device 8 and between rollers 10 on to a guiderest 11, pivoted at 12 and arranged in an inclined position when receiving the sheets. The rest then turns into the vertical position, and a central blade spring holds the paper against a former m on a wheel k, Fig. 8. Segmental arms 20 descend through the bars of the rest and fold the paper round the former. Vertically pivoted folders, one of which is shown at 31, complete the folding. A presser bar 49, Fig. 16, actuated by a cam 50 and faced with rubber at 51, advances and holds the paper r joint. Folding;- d e v i c e s 58, 64 make two bottom folds, after which the bag is carried over a segmental spring- pressed trough 73, Figs. 8 and 17, with sides 74 fixed to cross-pieces 75, through spaces in which the tabs 57 on the bottom of the bag at this a stage, project. When the former reaches gaps in the trough, spring arms 79 turn the tabs upwards, in which position they are retained by a continuation of the sides 74. The bag is then forced off the former, which is grooved to prevent the formation of a vacuum, by a plunger 86 guided by rods 109 in the former, Fig. 16, and deposited in a mould 84, Fig. 19. The mould carrying the bag then comes under an opening in a wheel 2 carrying charging-receptacles 3. Fig. 19. The charge is fed into a hopper 118 and falls on a reciprocating false-bottom 119, which is withdrawn to the right, allowing the charge to drop on the plate 129. The return movement brings the charge over the receptacle 3, into which it is thrust by a plunger. A cam-roll, 133 on the receptacle 3 engages with a fixed cam 134, and as the charge approaches the mould - wheel, the receptacle is turned up into a vertical position and forms with the plate 127<#>, Fig. 5, a foursided tube. The charge is thrust into the bag in a mould beneath by a plunger 91, and is supported on a segmental plate 136. The bag is then thrust up in the mould, by a plunger so that its upper edges project above the edge and are folded by suitable mechanism. The first folder makes the fold shown in Fig. 27, and folders on an axis 159, Fig. 5, make the side folds, the top being completed by a folder 177. The completed bag passes under, a plate 178 and is forced by a plunger out of the machine.

Granted: 1909-02-25
Abstract: 5462. Johnstone, S. March 11. Shearing.-Hollow articles, such as sleeve-links, solitaires, brooches, &c., are trimmed by reciprocating cutters, which are moved together towards the work and then in opposite directions transversely to the work. The work d is placed in a die a provided with an ejector n, and is operated upon by cutters i, moved outwards when the crosshead g is arrested by a wedge-piece l, Fig. 1, springs k allowing the relative movement between the parts. Adjustable projections o, Fig. 2, engage the flat portion of the die a and determine the distance above the face of the die at which trimming occurs. To remove the ridge at the centre of the trimmed article, the bed b is moved by a handle r through ninety degrees, slots through which the rods f pass allowing this movement. The Provisional Specification also describes a modification in which the work is held over a support with the edges to be trimmed lowermost, and in which the cutters are moved inwards, the ridge being removed by withdrawing one cutter and continuing the motion of the other after they meet.

Granted: 1908-10-08
Abstract: 13,172. Roth, C. June 29,1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Elastic-fluid turbines.-Nozzle chambers of increasing capacity are arranged in series around a turbinewheel, adapted especially for propelling vessels, and live steam is admitted to one or other of these chambers according to the speed required. For ordinary speeds steam enters by the inlet 1 (Figs. 1 and 2), passes through a nozzle 4, the vanes of a wheel 7 and chamber 8, past a non-return valve 9 into a larger nozzle chamber 2, where it is again directed on to the wheel and exhausted into a larger nozzle chamber 3 past a non-return valve 11. For a higher speed, steam is admitted directly to the chamber 2 by the port 2<a>, the valve 9 sealing the chamber 8. For still higher speeds, a port 3<a> admits steam to the chamber 3. In a modification, the nozzle chambers are arranged at different radial distances, the wheel having concentric vane rings. Fig. 5 illustrates a piston controlling-valve for regulating admission to the nozzles 28 or 29 by the steam-supply pipes 26 or 27. Another device consists of a cam-drum which by its rotation successively operates the valves sealing the nozzle chambers.

Patent GB-190822096-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Steam Heating Systems particularly adapted for Heating Railway and like Vehicles.
Inventor: GOLD EGBERT HABBERTON
Filed: 1908-10-19
Granted: 1909-10-19
Abstract: 22,096. Gold, E. H. Oct. 19. Heating.-The radiators of a heating-system are divided into several sections, the steam supply to any section being continuous and independent of the working of the other sections. Thermostatic means actuated by the exhaust from a loop, which may be a radiator, control the steam supply from the train-pipe and reduce its pressure before admission to the radiators. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 5, steam from the train-pipe a passes to the controlling-device b. A pipe c leads steam from the low-pressure chamber of the controlling-device b to the radiators p, r, s, t, which are open to the atmosphere. Steam from the loop x, y, z passes through the restricted opening in the valve y<1> to the thermostat chamber 3, and so causes the thermostat to operate. In a modification, a regulable spring-loaded valve is placed in the controlling-loop, so that on starting the system steam will first blow through until the pressure in the radiators reaches the value for which the valve was set. The valve then opens and steam is admitted to the thermostat. In a further modification the exhaust from a radiator causes the operation of the thermostat.

Title: Means for Regulating the Speed of Photographic Shutters.
Inventor: HUNT WILFRED
IPC: G03B9/58
Filed: 1910-02-15
Granted: 1910-12-15
Abstract: 3682. Hunt, W., and Taylor, W. Feb. 15. Shutters.-The speed of photographic shutters is regulated by devices comprising a balancewheel or a fly-wheel rotated with reversal of motion; (a) the balance-wheel is rotated a predetermined amount by a tappet on the moving shutter and returns to release the shutter for closing; (b) the wheel is directly connected by adjustable link - work with the shutter, being rotated by gearing. (a) In one example of the first type, Figs. 1 and 2, the wheel 2, controlled by a hair - spring 17, normally rests with its tappet 3 against a stop 16, and is rotated by the impact of a tappet 4 on a moving part of the shutter moving from the position A into a notch 22 on a spring catch 18 retaining the shutter open. The wheel rotates till the tappet 3 contacts with a hair-pin buffer-spring 6 threaded through a hole in a plate 7, being returned thereby to release the tappet 4 by acting on the incline 23. To vary the amount of rotation of the balance - wheel, and hence of the time of exposure, the plate 7 is rotated, moving the turned-down lower end of the spring 6 along a volute groove 9. By this means, both radial and circumferential adjustments are given to the turned - up upper end 5 of the spring 6, against which end the tappet 3 strikes. A modification of this construction is described for use with a shutter in which the tappet 4, on being released from the notch 22, continues its movement in the same direction instead of returning. In this form, the spring 6 is mounted on an external radial slide, and is struck by one of a volute series of internal ratchet teeth on the balance-wheel. In another modification of this type, adapted for use with the shutter described in Specification 12,403/03, there is circumferential adjustment of the spring 6 only. (b) In one example of the second type, Fig. 7, the wheel 2 by means of a pinion 49 gears with a quadrant 50 on a fixed pivot 51; the quadrant carries, on an arm 52, a pivoted block 53 adapted to slide in a link 54. During exposure the pivot z is fixed. A rotating or reciprocating part 60 on the shutter oscillates the link 54 and rotates the wheel 2 to and fro to an extent depending on the position of the block 53 in the link 54, which is varied by the pinion 58, quadrant 57, and arm 55. In a modified arrangement, the wheel 2 and quadrant 50 are carried in a pivoted frame, adjustable in position by a pinion similar to 58.
