Title: Machine for Canneluring, Trimming and Gauging Cartridge Cases.
IPC: B21D51/54
Filed: 1912-08-22
Granted: 1913-05-15
Abstract: 19,289. Nobel's Explosives Co., and Hodge, H. D. Aug. 22. Corrugating; bending- formers. - Relates to machines for canneluring, trimming, and sorting metal cartridge cases, and consists in (1) a rotating mandrel which is expanded inside each cartridge case as it is fed upon the mandrel and compels the case to rotate while a canneluring-tool is pressed upon it and a cutting-tool trims off the open end, (2) means for feeding the cases into position to be pushed upon the mandrel; and (3) means for sorting the cases according to their lengths on delivery from the machine. In the form shown in plan in Fig. 1, the main shaft 1 of the machine is driven from a belt-pulley through gearing 2, 3, and transmits rotation to disks 7, 64 through the bevel gearing 4 and belt gearing 5, 65. The cartridges are fed from a table 8 base downwards upon a rotating disk 7, which carries them into a guideway 9, in the mouth of which they are prevented from jamming by belt-driven agitators 10. From the guideway the cases are delivered one by one into a trough 18, Fig. 2, with their axes horizontal and their open ends towards the left. This trough is reciprocated by cam-mechanism on the shaft 1 and carries the cartridges into position to be forced upon a mandrel 28, shown enlarged in Fig. 4, by the sliding pusher rod 29, which is also actuated by cam-mechanism on the shaft 1. The mandrel 28 is carried by a belt-driven spindle 34 and consists of a split tube the sections of which are expanded into tight contact with the case when this is received upon the mandrel, by a reciprocating rod 36 actuated through suitable gearing from a face-cam 38 on the shaft 1. The case is thereby compelled to rotate with the mandrel and has cannelures formed on it by two grooved wheels 41 carried in frames 42 on the ends of the levers 43, 47, Fig. 2, pivoted at 44 and 48 respectively and joined by a lever 49. A pin 44 on the lever 43, working in a groove of a cam 46 on the shaft 1, serves to advance both wheels 41 at the proper time to press on the case. At the same time a knife 50 on a slide 51 is caused by cam and lever mechanism actuated from the shaft 1 to cut off the rough open end of the case. A finger 59 on a rod 60 operated by a cam 61 then pushes the case off the mandrel to the right into a shoot 62 from which it falls base downwards through a funnel 63 upon the bevelled edge of a disk 64, from which it is prevented from falling by a fence 66 in the periphery of which are three successive gaps. Three gateways of adjustable and decreasing height are placed one at each gap to sort the cartridges into sets of different lengths. Each gate upsets cases longer than the height of the gate, and these roll off the bevelled edge of the disk 64 into suitable receptacles.

Title: Method and Apparatus for the Production of Elongated Electric Arcs for the Treatment of Gases.
Inventor: WIELGOLASKI FRANS HENRIK AUBER
IPC: H01J37/32
Filed: 1913-01-27
Granted: 1913-10-09
Abstract: 2214. Wiedgolaski, F. H. A. Jan. 27. Gases, treating with electric discharge. - A long steady arc is produced by first blowing the ends of a short arc along the divergent ends or edges of electrodes, and then extending the arc by gas currents in both directions along a tubular furnace chamber. The electrodes may be the walls of two sections of the furnace chamber a, d, Fig. 4. Additional electrodes for the final position of the arc may be formed by cooling-devices m, n for the products; the transition of the are to these electrodes may be facilitated by placing resistances in series with the wall electrodes. Gas to be treated may pass first through helical channels around the furnace chamber and enter the chamber with a whirling motion. Instead of being bent upwards as shown, the two sections of the furnace may be horizontal and in line with each other. The electrodes for the final position of the arc may then be the contracted outer ends of the wall electrodes; these ends may be cooled by water or by liquefied gases. In another modification, the furnace chamber g, h, Fig. 2, is built of non-conducting material, and narrow electrodes b, c are laid in the latter with their adjacent ends curved so as to pass into the gas inlet. At their outer ends these electrodes may be formed into rings as shown at the right-hand end or bent inwards as shown at the left-hand end. Gas to be treated passes first through spaces 1, 2, 3, 4 surrounding the furnace chamber. In a further modification, the chamber is wider than in Fig. 2 and tubular electrodes are placed co-axially within it, so that the arc rotates bodily around them. An axial rod passes through both electrodes and supports them near their inner ends by means of porcelain blocks which are perforated so as to impart a helical motion to gas entering the chamber through the electrodes. The outer ends of the tubular electrodes are enlarged and are kept cool either by forcing the entering gas outwards against them by baffles on the supporting rod or by supplying separate gas currents to spaces around the main gas inlets to the tubular electrodes. Helical ribs may be provided on the inner surfaces of the tubular electrodes.

Granted: 1914-03-26
Abstract: 7318. Jennings, W. F. March 27. Stoppering.-Relates to a bottle-stoppering machine in which the stoppering is effected while the bottle is being traversed from one point to another. The machine is shown adapted for applying screwstoppers and as applied to a rotary filling-machine. The bottles to be stoppered are removed from the table a of the filling-machine by a continuously rotating transmitter d, Figs. 1 and 3, having camoperated gripping-arms g, and are carried under the stoppering-devices while being supported on friction rollers 45. The stoppers are fed from a hopper v, Figs. 1 and 3, and carried by friction bands w along an horizontal feeder x until arrested by spring-jaws y situated in the circumferential path of a stoppering-cylinder 2, Fig. 3, which has a to-and-fro movement between the stopper feed and the bottle to be stoppered, and also a rising and falling motion. Within the stoppering-cylinder is a rising and falling and continuously rotating stoppering plunger 7, having a friction disk 8 to engage the stopper. The stoppering-cylinder has a gap 3 adapted to enclose the endmost stopper in the feeder x, which is released from the jaws y by a portion 6 of the cylinder during its upward movement, and passes freely into the cylinder and enters spring-grips 4. The stoppering-cylinder retraces its path into a position vertically over the neck of the bottle to be stoppered and then descends to embrace the mouth of the bottle, the stopper being forced out of the grips 4 and applied by the plunger 7. In operation, on the completion of the stoppering of a bottle, the cylinder 2 advances at an increased speed towards the feeder x to receive a stopper, and back again at the same increased speed into a position over the neck of the next bottle, the compound movements taking place during the travel of the bottle through onesixth of a revolution of the disk d. All the motions are derived from a vertical shaft through vertical and horizontal countershafts, cranks, eccentrics, and bevel gearing, spring devices being provided for compensating for irregularities in the heights of the bottles.
