Title: Improved Machine for Filling Bottles with Aerated Liquids.
Inventor: SCOTT WILLIAM
Filed: 1905-07-28
Granted: 1906-03-08
Abstract: 15,487. Scott, W. July 28. Bottling.-Relates to a multiple bottling-machine of the revolving-table type for filling bow or swing stoppered bottles with aerated liquids, the stoppers being afterwards inserted in the bottles by hand. The table A, which is rotated by worm gearing from a power or hand-driven shaft B<2>, carries a number of filling-heads C and spring-controlled bottle holders D of more or less known form, two of which are shown. These filling-heads are connected by pipes G with a chamber G<1> carried by a central bracket G<2> on the table A, the chamber being fitted with liquid under pressure through a pipe G<3>. Each filling-head contains a liquid valve C<2> and a snifting-valve C<3>, both spring-controlled, while stationary cams H, H<1> carried by a plate H3, Fig. 2, are provided for opening these valves in turn as the table A rotates. In operation, one of the holders D is lowered and a bottle is inserted, the handle D' of the bolder then being released so that the mouth of the bottle is pressed against the filling-nozzle C'. The rotation of the table A then brings the corresponding valve C<3> in contact with the first of the cams H, which opens the valve and admits liquid to the bottle. With the smaller sizes of bottles, this action is sufficient to fill the bottle, but for bottles of larger size a succession of such operations is necessary, each opening of a liquid valve being succeeded by a snifting action due to the snift valve C<3> being brought into contact with one of the outer cams H<1> by the continued rotation of the table. When the full number of bottles is in the machine, the one first filled is removed by the operator and handed to an assistant, who immediately fixes the stopper, so that there is no appreciable loss of gas. When the machine is worked by hand power, the valves may also be operated by hand, instead of by cams, while treadles may be fixed for actuating the bottle holders. Where syrups are to be added, the necessary quantity may be put into each bottle before it is placed in the machine ; or, each filling- head may be provided with a syrup pump of known form.

Title: Improved Method of Severing Molten or P? and Apparatus therefor.
Inventor: DIXON HENRY LEANDER
Filed: 1906-03-01
Granted: 1906-06-07
Abstract: 5040. Dixon, H. L., and Marsh, G. A. March 1. Measured quantities, delivering.- Relates to apparatus for delivering molten glass. The glass flows from the tank 3 through a hole in an iron plate 6 into a receiver 13, thus completing a high-tension electric circuit, consisting of the conductor 26, iron plate 6, column of hot glass, receiver 13, support 14, and conductor c. This excites a relay 29 which controls a lowtension circuit 31, 32, in which is an electromagnet 22. A valve 24, operated by the magnet 22, admits high-pressure air to an annular space 9 in the plate 6, from which it escapes by non-radial grooves 12, Figs. 6 and 7, and in doing so cuts off the stream of glass. The electric circuit being broken, the valve 24 is closed, but low-pressure air is admitted through the cam-operated valve 35 by a pipe 37 to the space 9, for the purpose of holding up the glass till the next receiver 13, carried by the rotating table 15, is brought into position. The table 15, and hence the receiver 13, may be lowered by screws 42. A longer column of glass is thus necessary to complete the electric circuit, and hence a larger quantity is delivered. In a modification, the receivers 13 are carried by balanced levers, which move under the weight of the glass delivered and control the electric current. The receivers 13 are also inverted so as to empty their contents into moulds &c. The invention is also applicable to hand gathering apparatus.

Granted: 1906-10-25
Abstract: 17,552. Skinner, H. E. Aug. 3. Advertising; letters and numerals. - Consists in producing letters or other devices by means of falling paper or the like. The letters or designs are first formed by small perforations f in a plate c which carries a picture and forms the front of a casing d, having an opening q at the back through which air is withdrawn by a fan h worked by a motor i. The fan also causes the air in the outer case to circulate round the casing d in the direction of the arrows, carrying with it small pieces of paper or the like, which may give the appearance of a snowstorm. The perforations f are periodically covered by a flap e operated from the motor by rods p, worm-wheel o, worm n, shaft m, wormwheel l, and worm k. When the perforations are closed, the pressure in the casing d is reduced by the fan, so that when the flap e is removed air is drawn through the perforations, causing some of the paper to adhere and form letters &c.

A diaphragm c is disposed between two chambers a, d which communicate with each other through a small tube f throttled by a screw e or by porous material or by both means. One chamber a communicates with the mains by a pipe b and with the burner by a pipe l provided with a valve seat g. A valve flap h is pivoted at i and is controlled by a spring k which tends to keep the valve open. Stops o, j are provided as shown ; these and the seat g are of magnetic material and the plate h is a magnet, or vice versa, for rendering the motion of the valve easy and rapid, and for retaining the valve in either position. Slow or gradual variations of pressure intentional or accidental are distributed to both chambers a, d by the pipe f and do not affect the valve. Sudden ,variations of pressure affect the chamber a immediately but are not felt in chamber d until after a short time, so that the diaphragm c moves suddenly, whereby the valve is opened or closed as the case may be ; after a short while, uniformity of pressure is re-established in the two chambers, but the valve retains its new position. The walls of the chamber d may be flexible. Any other suitable valve construction may be used. Instead of the diaphragm c, a piston moving in a cylinder may be used, in which case the opposite chambers may communicate by a small hole in the piston or by leakage between the piston and the walls of the cylinder. The burner is lighted by a permanent pilot-jet.
