Patent GB-190913577-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Bottling Machines.
Inventor: CHAMP JOSEPH HENRY
IPC: B67C3/26
Filed: 1909-06-09
Granted: 1910-02-03
Abstract: 13,577. Champ, J. H. June 9. Bottling.-Relates to a rotary bottling- machine of the type in which the bottle-rests are moved relatively to the filling-mouths by fluid - actuated means controlled by a multipleway valve, which also controls the supply of liquid to the bottle; and also to a filling-mouth of the type provided with a liquid-supply valve adapted to be operated by oscillatory movements of the bottle. In the present invention each filling-mouth and corresponding bottle rests are mounted on the shell of a multiple-way valve, and oscillate together to operate the valve which controls both the liquid supply and the pressure fluid actuating the bottle-rest. A number of filling-devices D, Fig. 3, and corresponding bottle-rests are mounted on a rotary tank B with their axes of oscillation arranged obliquely to radii from the axis of the tank, so that operation of the valves causes the tank to rotate. The invention also relates to a bottle-rest adapted for use with bottles of different sizes. Each valve, Fig. 10, comprises a fixed plug D<1> and a rotary shell D<2>, the shell carrying the filling-nozzle F and bottle-rest lifting-cylinder E<1>. In the cylinder is a differential piston E<2>, the rod E<3> of which carries bottle stirrups E<4>, which, by means of a locking-lug e<5> on the piston adapted to engage recesses e<6>, can be set to receive either pint or quart bottles. The various ports in the plug cock are successively brought into operation to lift, counterpressure, fill, and lower the bottles by a part rotation of the shell bringing the bottle from an inclined initial position to a vertical filling position and back again. The beer tank B, Fig. 7, has two series of tubes b<12>, b<13> for venting and counterpressuring respectively. Impurities carried over by the venting- tubes are prevented from reaching the counterpressuring-tubes by a perforated partition b<14> and a wire screen b<18>. The pressure - fluid chamber C has supply pipes c<1> connected at c<8> to an independent source of pressure. A table is provided on the frame of the machine to facilitate handling the bottles.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Mechanical Toys.
Inventor: LOGAN HUMPHREY THOMAS
IPC: A63H11/00
Filed: 1909-07-29
Granted: 1910-01-13
Abstract: 17,667. Logan, H. T. July 29. Mechanical toys. - Relates to toy animals having a flexible tubular body which retains its cross - sectional form when deflected. Fig. 2 shows the invention applied to a toy cat in which an internal bladder B is inflated by a bulb held in the hand and exerts pressure between an internal frame A and a wire helix C forming the body, this being arched as shown. The deflexion of the body actuates a system of levers H<4>, F, which raise the tail and lower the under jaw. A wire is also caused to rub on a piece of glass paper and produce a sound imitating the " swearing " of a cat. The body is covered with fabric the pile of which rises when the body is deflected. Fig. 4 shows the invention applied to a caterpillar in which internal levers K, L are operated like a pair of scissors by a rod M<2> driven by clock-work M. The deflexion of the body causes the animal to travel when placed on a rough surface which affords a grip for spikes N, N<1>.

Granted: 1910-01-06
Abstract: 25,113. Bowles, G. B. Nov. 27, 1908, [Convention date]. Compensating for wear.-In a device for automatically taking-up the wear of the brake blocks of railway-carriage and wagon brakes in which a toothed member is acted upon by an operating- pawl and an anchoring-pawl, the anchoring-pawl moves forwards and backwards with the toothed member, its backward motion being limited by a stop. A segmental toothed member a connected to the brake rigging is moved to apply the brakes by a loaded or spring. pressed pawl d on a lever e, which may be connected to a vacuum cylinder or to a handlever. The member a is provided with teeth i engaged by a pawl f, which rests against a pin or stop k when the brakes are off. The normal movement of the member a is insufficient to cause the pawl f to slip over a tooth, but, as the brake blocks wear, the pawl f falls into the next tooth and curtails the return movement of the member a sufficiently to cause the operating-pawl d to slip into the next tooth. A modification is described in which the teeth i are undercut and the pawl f provided with a forwardly bent nose to allow a greater movement to the toothed member a. The stop k may be adjustable.

Abstract: 12,935. Hemm, H. C. C. von. May 27. Logarithmic calculators. - The logarithmic system of calculation, such as is performed with slide-rules, is adapted for wide application by mounting a number of scales on one sheet and taking measurements by means of a beam compass. The large number of technical equations which can be expressed in the form a/b =k.c<n> or a.b=k.cn can thus be employed over a wide range. The logarithmic graduations are combined in pairs to different scales, as shown in Figs. 1 and 3, meeting at E and running similarly or oppositely in different arrangements, enabling a combined setting of the beam compass to be made. This setting can be then read off on any other suitable scale by setting one point on an assigned graduation.

Filed: 1910-07-27
Granted: 1911-04-27
Abstract: 17,898. Schewelin, W. July 27. Retting; softening fibres. - Fibres, spun thread, or woven fabrics of flax, hemp, cotton, &c. are cleansed, softened, and made lustrous by steaming or boiling the material at 90-100‹ C. in an alkaline solution containing a mixture of one per cent of the weight of the material treated of alcohol and one-half per cent of napthenic acid or organic acid residues containing this acid; the organic-acid residues are those employed in the process described in Specification 8106/89. Preferably, unpurified ethyl alcohol mixed with fusel oil or with five per cent of methyl alcohol is used. The solution is preferably circulated or agitated by stirring for about six hours, after which the solution is run out and the material rinsed with water. A further supply of alcohol, or a mixture of ethyl alcohol and napthenic acid in the above proportions, with or without the addition of fusel oil, is then run into the vessel which is heated to 65-70‹ C., the alcohol being of a strength greater than 60‹ Tralles. After about one hour the alcohol is withdrawn and, if a high degree of cleanliness is desired, a fresh supply of alcohol may be run in and heated for two hours; if alcohol of a strength 90-95‹ Tralles is used, there is no necessity to dry the materials. The used alcohol is regenerated by distillation. The cleansing-effect is increased if one-quarter per cent of the weight of alcohol used of stearic or oleic acid is added to the solution of alcohol and napthenic acid or to the solution of alcohol when used alone, and the effect is further strengthened if one-tenth per cent by weight of light coal oil is added.
