Granted: 1906-10-17
Abstract: 21,087. Copland, A. W. Oct. 17. Bakers' ovens ; charging and discharging. - An apparatus for charging and discharging a reel or other mechanical oven consists of a carriage 35 which is reciprocated on rails 27 and carries a loading-device 48, which transfers dough from a conveyer 50 of a biscuitcutting machine to a shelf 3 of a reel oven, and a discharging-device 47 which transfers the baked dough from the oven to a conveyer 131. The loading- device comprises an endless belt 54 passing round bars 52, 53 and rollers 55, 56, 57 and a suction roller consisting of a perforated cylinder 63 containing stationary conduit 64 having a longitudinal opening 93 which by flanges 92 communicates with a part of the perforated cylinder. When the carriage is drawn back towards the conveyer 50, the belt 54 and cylinder 63 are actuated as soon as the bar 52 reaches the conveyer, and a valve connecting the conduit 64 with an exhausted pipe 71 is opened. The suction cylinder raises the edges of the dough pieces and passes them on to the band 54. The loading- device is given a longitudinal movement to allow for the movement of the conveyer 50. The belt, cylinder, and valves are put out of action when the device has reached its outermost position. The belt 54 is again actuated when the carriage is being withdrawn from the position shown in Fig. 2 to deposit the dough on the shelf 3. The discharging- device comprises a similar suction cylinder 101, and a perforated travelling band 105, which passes round a perforated nozzle 114 connected to a pipe 112a to supply compressed air. Beyond the suction drum is a second nozzle 114 also connected with the supply of compressed air. When the device is moved into the oven, the belt 105 and cylinder 10l are put into action, and valves connecting the conduit 100 with an exhaust and the nozzles 104, 114 with compressed air are opened. The air from the nozzles and the suction towards the cylinder serve to raise the biscuits from the shelf, and pass them on to the belts 105. The belt, cylinder, and valves are thrown out of action when the appliance reaches its innermost position. The belt is moved in the opposite direction when the edge reaches the conveyer 131 to discharge the biscuits. The reel of the oven is rotated synchronously with the reciprocation of the carriage.

Title: Improvements relating to Automatic Electric Switching Apparatus.
Inventor: JOB LEONARD KINGWILL
Filed: 1906-01-12
Granted: 1907-01-10
Abstract: 894. Job, L. K. Jan. 12. Switches. - A thermal switch, used for automatically switching on and off the electric current at regular intervals, consists of a metal bar a e.g. of brass, insulated by asbestos from an insulating base b, and surrounded by a heating-coil d, which, is connected at one end to the bar a and at the other end to a terminal g. The second terminal his connected by a wire k to one end of the coil d and to a support f for a contact screw e. When used to regulate an electric current for lighting, the main circuit is through terminal h, wire d to terminal g, and to the return main, allowing only a small current to pass, insufficient to light the lamps. The bar a is heated by the resistance coil d, and bends out touching the contacts e, the metal being bare at this point. Since the resistance of the bar is very small, a large current now flows, lighting the lamps. The bar a then cools, breaks contact, and reduces the current again. The contacts are platinum-tipped..In one modification, the bar makes contact alternately on both sides, and in another the bar is joined by a flexible wire to an arm which is made to rock by means of a spring and make contact for two groups of lamps alternately. The second group of lamps is placed in series with a high resistance.
