IPC: G01N33/08
Filed: 1912-08-01
Granted: 1913-07-31
Abstract: 17,860. Nunelley, G. A., Peek, Frean & Co., and Baker & Sons, J. Aug. 1. Eggs, opening and collecting contents of; eggs, testing.- A method of testing eggs consists in filling the contents of each egg separately into independent containers detachably carried by a conveyer, examining the contents of each container by the sense of smell, removing a container with bad contents, while the other containers are reversed to discharge on to shoots. Sprocket-wheels b, b<1> for a conveyer chain c are mounted at each end of a framing a. Spring clips h attached to the chain are adapted to receive dovetailed blocks i on the bottoms of traysj. The trays are elliptical with splayed sides, and each may have a partly perforated false bottom j<1>. A serrated upstanding blade j <2> is provided in each tray. Below the chain are arranged shoots k, k<1>, k<2>, k<3> adapted to direct the contents of the trays into receptacles. A guide m may be fitted to the upper rim of the tray to prevent sagging. An operative standing on the left-hand side cracks each egg on the knife j<2> of a container and empties the contents into it as it passes. A second operative standing at about the middle of the machine removes the shells and smells the contents of each container, removing a tray with bad contents, this tray being cleansed and afterwards replaced. The trays discharge on to the shoot, and drain during the whole of the return movement.

Abstract: 2944. Adair, M. Feb. 5. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Delivery apparatus.-In a machine of the traversing-cutter type for simultaneously cutting into a number of lengths one or more layers of cloth &c., the work, when released from the clamps, is adapted to fall between slotted supporting-strips i on to a receiving table r, which is reciprocated by the movements of the knife carriage so that, at the ends of the successive cutting operations, the table r is at opposite ends of its traverse, and a staggered piling of cut material is achieved. An electrical or other counting-device, actuated by the knives or carriage may be provided to indicate audibly or visibly in known manner the completion of a predetermined number of cuts. The reciprocations of the table r are effected by crank connexion with a spindle y<4>, Fig. 3, which carries on a free-wheel hub a chain-wheel y connected by a chain y' with a lever x. This lever is pivoted to the floor at x<1> and is rocked to impart a semicircular rotation to the spindle y<4> at each cutting movement of the carriage b<1>, by the engagement of the knife spindle f with a latch x<2> on the lever x. This latch is free to swing in one direction to allow the return, inoperatively, of the carriage b<1> to its actuating side of the lever x, and a weight y<3> or spring and a spring z secure the return of the wheel y and lever x, respectively, when the lever x is released from its engagement with the spindle f.

Title: Improved Process and Apparatus for the Manufacture of Alkaline Peroxides.
Inventor: MARGUET ERNEST
IPC: C01B15/043
Filed: 1913-05-13
Granted: 1913-12-11
Abstract: 11,174. Marguet, E. April 22, [Convention date]. Chemical manufactures, furnaces for; air, supplying; charges, agitating. - In the manufacture of alkali peroxides by the reaction of drv air on the metal in a boat of aluminium or the like, all the stages of the manufacture are conducted continuously by mechanical means in the apparatus with exclusion of the atmosphere. The crust which forms is broken up, and the mass is stirred, levelled, and finally discharged, the bottom of the boat being then scraped level, leaving a thin layer of peroxide. The alkali metal such as sodium is contained in a circular boat 3, which does not rest directly upon the hearth and is heated from below, for instance by a resistance 2. The furnace is closed by a packed door 40. Air is supplied from a pipe 32 by cocks 33 and pipes 34 and is heated by passing through a chamber 35 traversed by pipes 36 carrying the exit gases from exits 37 to a fume collector 39 through valves 38. Above the boat is arranged a double scraper 22, 23 on a solid shaft 9 and an arrangement of toothed plates 24, 30 carried by a hollow shaft 10, these shafts being connected by a key in a groove 11 so that they turn together but are free to move to a limited extent longitudinally. The shafts are driven when desired by worm gear 18, 19 from a fast pulley 17 between two loose pulleys having open and crossed belts; and are raised and lowered as desired by weighted levers 15, 20 pivoted at 16, 21. The plate 30 carries teeth 31 over its whole surface adapted to pass through holes in the plate 24, which carries teeth 26 along one diameter only, the teeth on one half being staggered relatively to those on the other so that corresponding teeth do not trace the same path. An upstanding part 27 on the plate 24 carries angles 28, 29, the plate 30 being arranged to lift the plate 24 by the angle 29. Fig. 8 shows the position of the plates for breaking the crust, Fig. 10 that for stirring the broken material, and Fig. 12 that for discharging the boat and scraping the bottom. The broken-up mass may be levelled by raising the toothed plates and lowering the scraper 22, 23 to the necessary extent. The discharge opening is closed by a plate 5 attached to a plug 6 filled with non-conducting material and capable of being withdrawn through a tube 7, which in discharging is connected by a junction with the receptacle.
