Patent GB-190105000-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Reed and Pipe Organs and Harmoniums.
Inventor: WALCKER OSCAR
Filed: 1901-03-09
Granted: 1901-08-24
Abstract: 5000. Walcker, O. March 9. Organs and like instruments. - The invention relates to means for providing that only the highest or lowest note of a chord d shall be sounded where required, and is applicable either to reed or to pipe organs or toharmoniums. The description applies to the case where the highest note only of a chord is to be sounded. A tube b connected with the key admits wind both to a pneumatic h which causes the corresponding reed or pipe to sound, and also to a passage j extending diagonally under the parts just referred to, which belong to the next lower note. Over each passage j is a pneumatic f, which is arranged so as to act upon a valve e the function of which is to close the opening of the tube band prevent wind from reaching the corresponding pneumatic hand passage j. If a chord be struck on the keyboard, the pneumatic h corresponding to the highest note is operated and its note sounded, while wind is also admitted to the passage j, thus raising an aluminium valve l, which isolates the pneumatic f and opens a port n leading to the next lower pneumatic. This pneumatic is then operated, and closes the corresponding valve e and prevents the corresponding note from sounding, even though its key should be depressed. The next lower pneumatic f is similarly acted upon, and so on for the succeeding ones.

Title: Improvements in Machines for Wrapping and Labelling Packages.
Inventor: PETERS FRANK MAX
Filed: 1901-04-16
Granted: 1901-11-09
Abstract: 7808. Peters, F. M., and Hungerford, H. H. April 16. Parcelling.-The machine is particularly applicable for wrapping and labelling cardboard cartons or boxes containing biscuits. The carton 47 is fed along to a trough 31 on hinged leaves supported by springs and beneath a plunger 37 which forces it down into a recess 8 in an intermittently - rotating wheel 4 together with a sheet of paper 72 which has been drawn over the recess from a trough 52 by a gripper 54. The gripper is normally depressed by a spring 58, but is raised by a fixed cam engaging a pin 63 on a lever 59 pivoted at 61, and is held up by a pawl 66 which is likewise controlled by fixed cams acting on a pin 68. The rear upstanding edge of the paper is folded down by a spring blade 90, also operated by a fixed cam acting on the pin 96, and the forward edge by its passing a wiper of rubber 102 carried on a sufficiently-heavy metal plate. The wrapper receives a streak of paste from a roller 77, and the paster lever 79 carries a flexible arm 99, which presses down the rear edge before the folder 90 comes into action. The end folds are produced by a plate 107 rigidly attached to the sliding plate 106, which makes the top fold, and by swinging blades 108, 109 pivoted to the plate 106 which make the side folds. These are brought into operation in succession by rods 118, 121, which are arrested as the plate 106 moves towards the centre of the wheel, and turn the plates about their pivots. The box is held in position in the recess by plates 123, which are depressed by the plate 106 and locked by a spring catch which is liberated by the plate 106 on the end of its out-stroke. The bottom fold is creased by a wire which presses the paper into the corner 11, the flap resting on a shelf 132 which turns up the flap as the wheel revolves. The package next passes between spring blocks 149, which press the end folds closely against it. The next operation is that of attaching pasted labels or seals over the end folds to secure them by means of the mechanism shown in Fig. 25. A pile of labels is supported by short horizontal pins and lateral springs in a hopper 157 ; a pneumatic carrier 162 is guided by a cam slot 170 to take the lowest label from the pile, pass it across the paste roller 183, and press it against the end of the box. The carrier is operated by an eccentric 176 through toggle-levers 171, 172, 173, 174. The wrapped packet is expelled from the recess 8 by a bar 190, Fig. 4, operated by a fixed cam 191. The wheel is held at each station by a brake which grips it and is worked by a cam.
