Title: Improved Lubricator.
Inventor: GRANDSAGNE PIERRE AJASSON DE
Filed: 1908-12-16
Granted: 1909-02-11
Abstract: 27,339. Grandsagne, P. A. de. Jan. 2, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Lubricators.- A lubricator for shaft bearings comprises an oil cup a containing a rod g which is pressed downwards by a spring m abutting against a cross-bar e. The rod is caused to reciprocate in the outlet c of the cup, and so to feed the oil to the bearing, by a flattening or incision p on the shaft n. The flow of oil is regulated by means of a nut i on the rod g, or by altering the depth of the incision p.

The cylinder carries two hollow partitioned vanes 4, 5, which engage slots 14 in the opposite ends of a pin 13 passing through a radial slot 11 in a disk 3 and its spherical boss 6, which is secured to an inclined shaft 17. The disk 3 is provided with dished sides, and can be brought into accurate contact with the cylinder at two opposite points by means of an adjusting-screw 21. Packing-pieces 7, 8, 9, 10 are provided for the disk 3. A reversing valve-disk 31, operated by a handle 45, controls the admission and exhaust of working fluid, connecting the outer set of ports in the face of the cylinder 2 with the outer set of ports in the fixed disk 30 for forward driving and connecting the inner sets for reverse driving. Each port in the cylinder face adjoining the valve disk 31 conducts the working fluid through passages 29 to two ports 29<A>, 29B, the latter being formed in one face of a hollow partitioned vane on the other side of the cylinder. Exhaust finally takes place through a pipe 36.

Inventor: KOEHL HERRMANN KARL ADOLF
IPC: B67C3/26

Granted: 1912-10-10
Abstract: 23,509. K÷hl, H. K. A., and Lannmark, J. K. Oct. 24. Bottling; corking.-Relates to machines for bottling liquids under pressure in which the air within the bottle is displaced and escapes to a receiver. According to the present invention. the air receiver 15, Fig. 1, is placed within the liquid reservoir 2, so as to exert a counterpressure on the liquid therein. In the form shown the receiver is made compressible, suitably in the form of bellows, and so compensates for the decrease in volume of the liquid in such reservoir during the filling of the bottles. The air receiver communicates with the filling- head through a perforated pipe 15<b> which works telescopically in a tube which communicates through a passage 14 with a chamber 7 through which the filling-tube 5 passes. The lower end of the pipe has an orifice 31 which is normally closed by a slide 19 which carries the bottle and moves it, after filling, without loss of pressure to a corking-nozzle 8. The movement of the slide to effect this uncovers the orifice 31 and allows air to escape from the chamber 15 as liquid enters the supply-vessel 2. The bottle is held in the slide 19 by means of the cup 21, Figs. 1 and 3, enclosing packing constituting an annular chamber which may be filled with water or gas to expand it into tight contact with the bottle neck. The annular chamber may be formed in a hollow elastic ring 22, Fig. 1, or a combination of rigid and elastic rings 22<a>, 22<b>, respectively, Fig. 3.
