Title: Improvements in Machines for Blowing Glass Bottles, Jars, and the like.
Inventor: BEVERLEY ALBERT
IPC: C03B9/14
Filed: 1911-06-16
Granted: 1912-07-16
Abstract: 14,342. Beverley, A. June 16. Blowing; shearing and cutting.-The invention relates to a bottlemaking machine of the type in which several bottles &c. are formed simultaneously by similar sets of mechanism operated in unison. The parison mould 9, Figs. 2 and 3, is of cylindrical form and in one piece. It is held in a holder 120, Fig. 13, provided with a ring which surrounds the mould 9. and a peg 121 which enters a socket 122. The molten metal is placed in the mould 9, and the excess is cut off by a pivoted knife 125. The charged mould is placed in a rotatable holder 10 on a table 8, Figs. 1 and 2. The main shaft 1 of the machine is fitted with fast and loose pulleys 2, 3, 4, 5, and at this stage the belt is moved on to the pulleys 4, 5, thus causing the table 8 to rise by the action of pinions 6 and racks 7, and the mould 9 to be rotated by the action of gearing 15, 16, 18, 19, 22, 21. As the mould 9 rises, the plunger 14, Fig. 2, enters the molten metal and, being of flattened form, Fig. 11, engages the glass and prevents it either wholly or partly from rotating with the mould 9. The continued rise of the table 8 causes the divided neck mould 64 to enter the mould 9 and to press the glass up into the neck as shown in Fig. 3. Should the mould 9 contain too much glass, the strain, which would otherwise be set up, is relieved by a spring 11 supporting the mould 9. On reaching its highest point, the table 8 strikes a lever which throws the belt on to pulley 2 and engages bevel-gears 46, 47, 48, 49, by which means the mould 9 is rotated in alternate directions so as to marner the glass, and a cam shaft 56 is set in motion. The table is then allowed to descend, leaving the blank suspended, Fig. 6. Valves 74, operated by rods 86, 87 and cams 89, 90, then admit compressed air behind pistons 71, which thereupon close the finishing - mould 65 round the suspended blank, compressed air for blowing being simultaneously admitted. On the completion of the blowing, the pistons 71 are moved back so as to open the finishing-moulds and neck moulds and to close the air supply. The belt is automatically thrown on to the loose pulley 3, thus arresting the action of the machine until it is moved by hand on to the pulleys 4, 5. The finished bottles are removed from the plungers 14. Where bottles having indented bottoms are to be formed, a suitable mould bottom 126, Fig. 2, is provided. This is raised and lowered by a toothed segment 129 and swung laterally by a pin 133 on one half of the finishing-mould 65. Inside the plunger 14 are two tubes 97, 98 through which oil is forced from a chamber 96, Fig. 2, so as to cool the plunger. The top of the plunger may be fitted with a screw-threaded sleeve for making screw-necked bottles.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Presses and the like.
IPC: C14B5/00
Filed: 1912-02-14
Granted: 1913-02-13
Abstract: 3704. Northampton Machinery Co., Collier, J. V., and Edwards, A. W. Feb. 14. Presses, mechanical. -Relates to the starting and stopping mechanism of a cutting-out press and like machine of the type that performs a single reciprocation only for each operation of a starting- treadle, even though the latter be retained in its depressed position. The driving - clutch and brake are operated in the usual way from a shaft 9 rocked by a link 11, which is raised against the action of a spring and locked in this position to declutch and brake the driving- shaft by the engagement with a shoulder 16 on a link 10 of catches 15 on dogs 13 pivoted on a vertically-reciprocable frame 4. The dogs 13 are retained in their locking position by the engagement with their upper ends of a resiliently-supported plunger 17 in the link 10. Depression of the treadle 12 serves, through a spring-controlled finger 19 and detent 20 pivoted to one of the dogs 13, to depress the plunger 17 and allow the link 10 and lever 11 to descend under spring action to remove the brake and to clutch the driving- shaft 3 to start the machine. The frame 4 is then lowered by the action of a cam 1 on the lower part of the frame until the dogs 13 under the action of the spring plunger 17 re-engage the shoulder 16. The frame then rises under the action of a cam 2 on the upper portion thereof, thereby raising the link 10 and connected parts and declutching and braking the driving-shaft. Owing to the pivotal mounting of the detent 20, the machine cannot be restarted until the treadle is released to bring the finger 19 again beneath the detent. A cam on the frame 4 may engage a roller 21 on the finger 19 to disengage the latter from the detent 20, on the descent of the frame.

Bakers' ovens. - In an oven of the kind in which the heating-elements consist of tubes partly filled with liquid, the tubes, which are either of the stopped-end or closed-circuit form, are bent in such a manner that they occupy less space in the furnace than in the baking- chamber and are of uniform shape and length so as to allow of ready replacement from stock. Figs. 1 and 3 show an oven with stopped-end tubes having their ends concentrated in a furnace e half the width of the oven. All the side tubes a are bent at b to the same angle, as shown, and comprise half the tubes in the oven. Straight tubes c are arranged at the centre of the oven and pass over the bent portions of the tubes a into the furnace. The tubes are arranged in the furnace in two groups l, m, situated in separate damper-controlled flues, so that the heat to the two sets of tubes may be controlled separately. A damper is also arranged in the main flue so that the heating of the oven as a whole may be controlled. A cleaning-box v allows access to the top tubes, and a movable block w and non-conducting box x isolate the furnace from the oven. A sheetsteel screen y is also provided on the box x. Figs. 5 and 6 show an oven with superposed chambers and closed-circuit tubes. The tubes 61, 62 of the upper chamber are arranged on one side of the furnace, and the tubes 67, 68 are arranged on the opposite side. The furnace ends of each set of tubes are arranged opposite a damper-controlled flue leading to the main flue so that the heated gases may be drawn over any set of tubes by suitably maniplating the dampers. If desired, the top-heating tubes may be arranged on one side and the bottom-heating tubes on the other. The circulating-tubes are suspended in the oven from hangers 26, Fig. 9, by means of hooked bolts 28. The stopped-end tubes are suspended as shown in Fig. 10.

Abstract: 3657. Jackson, W. J. Mellersh-, [Aeolian Co.]. Feb. 12. Expression, controlling; tempo-regulating means; blowing and exhausting air. - The expressioncontrolling device comprises a spindle which is rotatably mounted on the tempo-lever. Rotation of the spindle in one direction alters the position of the pivot of the governor-valve, and rotation in the other direction brings into operation a pneumatic device for shifting the hammer rest-rail. The key-slip 3 has a recess 4, and is hinged to the keybed 1. The tempo-lever 5 is bent to pass through an inclined hole in the key-bed. An extensible spindle comprising a rod 8 fitting into a tubular member 11, and provided with a pin 14 engaging a slot 13 in the member 11, is mounted in bearings 9, 12 on the tempo-lever 5. The tubular member 11 may be pushed down so that the milled head 15 enters the recess 4, whereupon the key-slip 3 is folded up. The rod 8 is connected by a universal joint 16 to a rod 17 also mounted in bearings 18 on the tempo-lever 5. Rotation of the milled head 15 in one direction rotates the crank 19, and the movement is transmitted through a link 20 and crank 21 having a pin 23 to a lever 25. The movement of the lever 25 shifts a valve 55 to connect a bellows 43 to exhaust through a pipe 42, ports 38, 37, and a pipe 41. The bellows 43 collapses, so raising the rod 47 to shift the restrail and move the hammers nearer to the strings for playing softly. At the same time, a bellcrank 49 is rotated to shift the valve-seating 36 until the connexion to exhaust of the bellows 43 is cut off by the closure of the port 38. When the button 15 is returned to its normal position, the spring 27 pushes back the valve 55 to open the port 38 and admit air to the bellows 43, which expands under the weight of the rod 47 and the associated parts. The valve 36 is thus moved back to the position shown, in which the atmospheric connexion of the bellows 43 is closed. Rotation of the button 15 in the opposite direction causes movement of a bellcrank 24 upon the arm 31 of which the valve 33 of the governor-bellows 32 is pivotally mounted, so increasing the suction actuating the striking- pneumatics for loud playing effects.

Granted: 1914-05-18
Abstract: 9160. Twitchell, E. April 18. Fatty acids and glycerine, obtaining by decomposing fats and fatty oils.-The process of saponifying fats and oils by means of a sulphofatty-aromatic acid is modified by the use of a salt of the acid together with its equivalent of sulphuric or other acid, so that the active reagent is liberated in a concentrated form Barium, calcium, aluminium, magnesium, or other alkaline - earth metal or earth - metal salts of naphthalene - sulpho - fatty acid may be used. These salts may be obtained from the crude acid, produced as described in Specification 4741/98. The acid is washed with salt solution, and the fats and fatty acids are removed by extraction with naphtha or other solvent. The purified acid is dissolved in water, neutralized if necessary, and precipitated with a suitable metal salt. The precipitate, which is a viscous mass, is dried and ground to powder. It yields about 80 per cent of the pure acid, whereas the crude acid only contains about 40 per cent. In performing the saponification, the fats are boiled with water and treated with the saponifying salt and acid, the acid being preferably such as to form a precipitate with the metal of the salt. If, however, the resulting salt is soluble, the metal is afterwards precipitated from the glycerine water by means of lime or other reagent.
