Travelling-band type.-A machine for cleaning wool comprises porous receiving or feeding means such as a travelling apron of wire netting &c., which retains foreign matter, for instance paint and tar, attached to the wool clippings &c., other means being provided for forcing the foreign matter into the receiving- means. In operation, the clippings are placed in a feeder 46, which deposits them through its mouth 47 on to the travelling apron 15, which carries them forward between a pair of rollers 7, 5; the upper roller 7 is corrugated and preferably of brass, serving to break up and separate the lumps of tar and tufts of wool, and the lower 5 has a flexible face of, for instance, rubber. These rollers press portions of the tar into the netting. Immediately following the squeezing-rollers 7, 5, a draft roll or drawing- member 31 engages and pulls the tufts of wool from the tarred portions pressed into the netting, stirs them up, spreads, and distributes them. The wool is then carried through a bath of soap-suds &c., which may be hot, to soften the tar &c. before being subjected to the action of another pair of rolls &c. 13, 5, 31; this treatment is repeated with successive baths and rolls as many times as necessary, say eight. All the upper rollers 13, after the first 7, are preferably smooth and hard and of brass, and their pressure is adjustable by hand, as is also that of the first roller 7. After being led over a rear pulley 18, the apron 15 passes back to the front portion of 'the machine over guide-pulleys 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 27, 28 which conduct it through auxiliary tanks 25, 26 located under the main washing-tank 1.

Inventor: GRAHAM JAMES
IPC: B31B19/16
Filed: 1911-01-16
Granted: 1912-01-11
Abstract: 1156. Graham, J. Jan. 16. Paper bags, making. -In a machine for making paper bags from webs which may have been previously printed, the bag blank is kept of constant length and the print is maintained in register by perforating or weakening the web at regular intervals and forming the blanks by separating the web at these perforations. The printed and perforated web is formed into a tube by the usual folding - mechanism, and, after passing between feed-rollers 12, Fig. 3, is gripped by faster running breaking-rollers 13. These rollers tear the tube at the perforations, and feed the separated portion on to quickrunning feed-tapes 14. The tapes convey the tubular blank against a fixed stop 15, where it is gummed and folded by a dipper 17 and rollers in the usual manner. The perforations or weakening-lines, which run transversely on the web, do not form a straight line, but a line 6 of the form as shown in Fig. 1, so that when the paper is folded along the lines 4, 5, one side is slightly longer than the other. This long side is gummed and folded over on to the shorter side by the dipper. The breaking operation may be assisted either by making the rolls 13 slightly conical or by means of a member situated between the rolls 12, 13 and arranged to come into contact with and strain the paper at regular intervals.

Granted: 1911-09-21
Abstract: 1880. Burnside, G. B. Jan. 25. Leading-in wires.-A wire or other conductor is sealed hermetically into lead or Jena glass, or quartz or other hard vitreous material, by heating the material sufficiently to obtain cohesion, and, after it has cooled to a dull red heat, cooling it suddenly. For currents up to 15 amperes, round smooth wires are preferred, such as copper, up to 1À23 mm., cr platinum, up to 1 mm. diameter, but the wires may be thicker; for heavier currents tubes are used, preferably filled with conductive material. Fig. 7 shows such a tubular conductor E for a mercury - vapour apparatus, made of a non- amalgamating material and closed at the inner end; it may be filled with copper. Fig. 3 shows a Jena-glass seal A, a German or lead glass seal being shorter. Fig. 5 shows leading-in wires B sealed in a stem for an incandescent lamp. The conductor is first inserted into or through a corresponding hole, fitting tightly to prevent oxidation, and is then sealed. In making a seal, a conductor, which may be coated to prevent oxidation, is inserted tightly into a corresponding hole, and the adjacent glass is fused, the seal then being cooled, preferably by repeated dippings to successively greater depths in warm sperm oil, wax, or fat, contained in a small vessel which can be raised to the seal. Such seals are applicable for incandescent lamps, vacuum tubes, vapour lamps or rectifiers, and other apparatus, the Provisional Specification also mentioning sealed arc-lamps.

Variable-speed friction gearing of the kind in which provision is made for the automatic regulation of the pressure between the engaging surfaces comprises a driving-disk in two relatively - rotatable parts 1, 2, the latter being thrust against a driven roller y, Fig. 1<a>, by wedging action. The roller y may be slidable on a feather on a transverse shaft y<1> to vary the.speed. The part 1, which is in one with a sleeve d fast on the engine shaft e, has a flange f supported through a ball bearing t by a housing s. The part 2 has a central boss k fitting loosely in the sleeve d, and two cylindrical flanges z, j. Hardened bevel rollers r are supported upon pins w extending radially between the flanges z, j. Each roller r rests against the part 2 and projects into a recess in the flange f, each recess having inclined flanks c, Fig. 3<a>. The insertion of the part 2 causes the rollers r to ride up on the inclines c and so thrust the hardened face x of the part 2 against the hardened edge y' of the roller y. The resistance of the roller y to turning then causes the rollers r to increase the wedging action. The wedged part 2 is released by means shown in Fig. 4<a>, which are similar to those described in Specification 19/10. A bar o slidable in a groove q in the sleeve d is operated by way of a grooved collar p. The bar o passes through radial slots n<1>, n<2> in the parts 1, 2, which slots coincide when the part 2 is in its loose position. When the bar o is thrust to the right, inclines v bear upon the sides of the slots n<1>, n<2> so as to force them together. The gear is stated to be specially applicable to motor-vehicles and electric tramcars.
