Granted: 1912-11-28
Abstract: 29,050. Martin, E. Dec. 27, 1910, [Convention date]. Labelling.-Relates to the general construction of machines for affixing a number of labels to bottles, boxes, &c. The articles B are placed in arms K rotating on a shaft 27 and are taken therefrom by grippers 2, 5 mounted in disks 28, 6 rotating on a shaft 7 and are carried to meet labels fed by endless bands H. The article is then rotated by frictional contact with a rotating roller, and the labels are affixed by resilient rollers J, made conical or otherwise shaped to correspond to the contour of the articles to be labelled, and the grippers then release the article, which is conveyed from the machine by a conveyer 15. The label feeding and affixing devices are operated from a shaft 10, and the bottle-carrying devices are operated from a shaft 11, these shafts being turned by clutch connexions with pinions a, e gearing with a common pinion R. A lever 24, 25 rocked bv a cam 12 carries a sector 26 which rocks into the paths of pawls of the clutches on the. shafts 10, 11, thereby disengaging these alternately so that the bottlecarrying devices are stationary while the label feeding and affixing devices are operating, and vice versa. The gripping-members 2, 5 are cupped to fit the ends of the articles, and the members 5 are carried by rods 8 slidable in the disk 6 and are pressed inwards against the action of springs, to grip the articles by levers 16 rocked by a cam which is rocked on the shaft 7 by a rod 22 and an arm 23 of the lever 24, 25. Teeth 3 on the disk 28 gear with a spur-wheel on the shaft 11.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Electric Circuits Closing Apparatus.
Inventor: WADE HAROLD
IPC: H01H51/32
Filed: 1912-12-16
Granted: 1913-12-16
Abstract: 28,977. Wade, H., [Protective Signal Manufacturing Co.]. Dec. 16. Switches.-In switches of the kind in which a circuit is closed by the vibrating motion imparted to one of the contact-members, electromagnetic means being provided to maintain the contacts in engagement until the circuit is opened at another point, the vibrating member is an electro-magnet. The invention is particularly adapted for use in alarm systems used at railroad crossings to announce the approach of a train, the switch being mounted in a casing 2 adapted to be suspended from the foot of a rail 6. The switch comprises a spring 20 carrying an electro-magnet 22 and a contactring 24 adapted to engage a contact-lever 26 when the spring vibrates. The spring is mounted on a support 8 secured to a head 3 which normally closes the casing but can be withdrawn together with the switch parts when desired, a hood 7 being provided over the end of the casing to protect the binding-screws and connexions. The spring 20 is supported on the grooved head of an adjustable screw 17, and carries an iron rod 21 which forms the core of the electro-magnet and extends into a slot in the upturned end of the support 8. The slot is provided with a brass or similar lining to prevent the core from sticking to the top of the slot after the electro-magnet is de-energized. In Fig. 5 the vibrating switch is shown in connexion with an electric alarm 33 and a controlling-device 32. The alarm comprises an electro-magnet 43, the armature 44 of which actuates a hammer 45 when the magnet is energized, the circuit being at the same time broken at the stop 46. The controlling-device comprises an electro-magnet 34, the armature 35 of which imparts by means of a pawl 36 and ratchet-wheel 37 an intermittent movement to a rotary element, which includes two contact cams 39, 40 engaged by contact-blades 41, 42. In the normal position, the contact-blade 42 engages the cam 40, so that the circuit of the electro-magnet 34 is ready to be closed at the contacts 24, 26 by the vibratory switch. As soon as this happens, the armature 35 is attracted and rotates the cams 39, 40, therebv breaking the contact between the cam 40 and blade 42 and de-energizing the electro-magnet 22 of the vibratory switch. At the same time contact is made between the cam 39 and blade 41 and the alarm circuit is closed, after which the circuits of the electro-magnets 34, 43 are alternately made and broken at the stop 46 until the cams 39, 40 have made a complete revolution and the apparatus is restored to its initial position.

Title: New and Useful System or Arrangement for Elevating and Transporting Liquid Explosives from One Operating Place to Another.
Inventor: VIESI SETTIMO
IPC: F17D1/08
Filed: 1913-05-08
Granted: 1913-09-11
Abstract: 10,895. Viesi, S. May 8. Vacuum apparatus. -Relates to systems for transporting liquid explosives from one operating place to another, and consists in first elevating the liquid explosive preferably by suction, to a reservoir at the top of the embankment separating the two operating places, and then allowing the liquid to flow by gravity to the second operating place, thus avoiding the usual tunnelling through the embankment. The building A, Fig. 2, contains a washing-vat L and filter F, and the building B, separated from the building A by an embankment M, contains kneading-vats. A pipe t connects the filter and kneading-vats and passes to a reservoir r at the top of the embankment. A water tank C communicates with the vat L by a pipe a and with the reservoir r by a pipe b. Valves 1, 2, 3, 4 are provided as shown, and a glass inspection-tube is placed between the reservoir r and the valve 3. In operation, when the valves 1, 2 are open and the valves 3, 4 are closed, water flows from C and produces a partial vacuum in the reservoir r and tank C, thus raising explosive from F to the reservoir r. By closing the valve 2 and opening the air valve 3 and the valve 4, the explosive flows by gravity to the vat P.

Granted: 1914-07-09
Abstract: 17,971. M'Murray, N., and Knowles, T. Aug. 7. Winch type. - Apparatus for washing fabrics in rope form comprises, more particularly, an odd number of boxes or compartments a, say five, each having one or more separate water inlets, say spurt pipes f<1>, and outlets, as from the bottom g<1> and from the top h, also bottom rollers b within the boxes a, other guides such as peg-rails c, and superposed pressure rollers c', c<2> above the boxes, Figs. 1 and 3. The spurt pipe f' has two outlets f<3>, f<4>, Fig. 5, and is provided with a disk valve f<2>, Fig. 4, which has two openings f<5>, f<6>, the first being large enough to uncover both outlets f<3>, f<4>, while the other will only uncover one. By this means, the water supply may be full, half, or cut off. The ends of the bottom rollers b are provided with guards, within which the rollers rotate, to prevent the cloth being damaged when passing round the rollers. In operation, the cloth or fabric d is preferably fed into the apparatus at each outer box a and drawn by the rollers through one box after another until it reaches the centre box a<0>, where, after a final passage through the squeezing-rollers, it leaves the apparatus. Dense or wide linen cloths are preferably passed through the machine from end to end, but the water in the last compartment used remains clean always. During its passage, the cloth is guided by the peg-rails e or their equivalent. That portion of the upper pressure roller c<2> above the central compartment a<0> is preferably covered with rope or the like c<3> to increase the local squeezing effect. According to the Provisional Specification, the upper squeezing- roller may be tapered so as to increase the pressure on the rope of fabric with successive washings.
