Patent GB-190918860-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Bottle Labelling Machines.
Inventor: FLOWER ARTHUR LESLIE
IPC: B65C3/10
Filed: 1909-08-16
Granted: 1910-07-21
Abstract: 18,860. Flower, A. L. Aug. 16. Feeding sheets &c.-Relates to machines for fixing labels to bottles of the kind in which the bottle is placed on a stand and is supplied with a label by gummed pickers, the label being pressed on by rollers or wipers, and consists in mounting the apparatus on a standard so that the label box and label holder can be moved to and from the gumming- device or alternatively the gumming - device is moved between the other two stationary members. A groove c in the hollow standard a serves as a guide for the label box d and bottle support e, both of which have guide-brackets mounted on the standard and are fitted with guide-rollers f on cross-pieces g carried by the treadle-operated rod h. Supply pipes k carry the gum from a holder j to two pivoted gummers m attached to a bracket l, which also supports the wipers n. The labels are held in the label box by four cams o, capable of adjustment to suit various-sized labels, and by wedge-like devices p which have notched faces. The gumming-boxes q are pivotally mounted at r on a hollow bracket connected with the pipes k. The boxes have perforated faces s, and springs u to keep the faces inwardly directed. In a modification in which the label box and bottle support are stationary, and the gumming - device slides between them, a spring is attached to the treadle to hold it in its upper position, and an additional roller is used to prevent the label from slipping round the bottle when being applied. This roller is carried on an arm which is controlled by weight.

Abstract: 323. Garlands, E. Jan. 5. Type-lever actions.-(1) In actions in which the type-levers 6, Fig. 1, are pivoted on a caseshift segment 10 and are connected to the keylevers 1 through links 7, 8 and a bell-crank lever 9, the links 8 are at acute angles, rightangles, or obtuse angles to the vertical according as to whether the segment is in the normal, the capital, or the figure position. (2) The type-levers enter slots in the segment and are provided with pivot-pins 14 which rest on detachable comb-plates 15. (3) The links 7, 8 are adjustably secured to the parts 1, 6, 7 by means of connexions consisting of a forked block 13 threaded to receive the link, one tine of the fork being formed with a pivot-pin and the other tine being formed as a spring to engage the pivot-pin and hold the part in position. Case-shift mechanism.-(I) The segment 10 is secured to a shift - frame consisting of arcs 17, 18 and side-members 29, Fig. 6. The shiftframe is guided vertically by balls 28 which engage V-grooves in the members 29 and in guides 30. The shift-frame is counterbalanced by springs 32 arranged in tubes 33. (2) The capital key-lever 26 and the figure key-lever 27 are respectively coupled to levers 22, 21 carrying rollers 20 which engage a plate 19 on the shift-frame. When the lever 26 is depressed, the frame is arrested in the capital position by a stop 35 on a lever 35<a>. When the lever 27 is depressed, the stop 35 is moved backwards by means of an incline on the lever 21, the frame being thus permitted to rise to the figure position. The position of the stop 35 may be adjusted by straining the lever 35<a> by means of a screw 36. Key-locks.-The levers 26, 27 are each provided with a locking-key 42, and a release-key 43, Fig. 10. The locking is effected by a means of a catch 44 pivoted at 51 to the lever and formed with a tooth 45 adapted to engage a recess 46 in a fixed lug 47. The release-key 43 slides in a tube 50, and withdraws the catch by entering between the lever and the catch.

Granted: 1912-05-09
Abstract: 11,209. Isenthal, A. W. May 9. Condensers; regulating transformers. - Relates to a method of and means for varying electric capacity by employing mercury as one plate of a condenser and varying its height relatively to the other plate. In conjunction with the variation of capacity, the induction may be similarly varied. As shown in Fig. 3, mercury 2 is contained in a vessel 1, and is separated by a dielectric 4 from the other plate 3, which is composed of a brass cylinder. A vessel 22 containing an inductance coil 21 is connected to the vessel 1 by a tube 19, and by varying the height of the vessel 22, the height of the mercury in both vessels is varied, so varying the capacity and inductance. In a modification, the brass cylinder may be surrounded by a glass cylinder, the whole forming a plunger to vary the amount of immersion in the mercury; or mercury may be poured into the vessel or taken away by a tap. In the case of a mutual-induction coil, as shown in Fig. 4, the mercury is contained within walls between the two coils 23, 24, so forming a ' screen,' the height being varied by a vessel 20. In the form shown in Fig. 5, a screw plunger 39 compresses a collapsible reservoir 35 containing mercury, to cause the mercury to flow up a pipe 34 and between circular walls 29, 30. The outer wall 30 is a glass cylinder provided with an index 43 to indicate the capacity. The inner wall 29 consists of a brass cylinder insulated with a mica covering 31.
