Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Making Bottle Caps or Seals.
Inventor: WETMORE EARL PORTER
IPC: B21D51/46
Filed: 1912-11-07
Granted: 1913-11-06
Abstract: 25,574. Wetmore, E. P. Nov. 7. Affixing by adhesives.-Relates to apparatus for making bottle caps or seals and particularly to the means for cementing within the caps the cork disk and paraffin or resinous paper used as a lining, the cementing being effected by heating and cooling under pressure of the assembled caps; or the pressure may be applied during heating only. After the metal caps, paper linings, and cork disks have been assembled, the complete caps pass down a shoot 11, Figs. 3 and 5, and enter cap seats 20, Fig. 6, formed in the flange 19 of a cementing-wheel revolving in a vertical plane on a shaft 12, the seats opening laterally to a face of the wheel. The caps are guided to their seats by a spring arm 31, Fig. 5, and are supported in an inverted position under the pressure of radial spring plungers 24, Figs. 3 and 6, by ledges engaging their extreme outer edges only, thus leaving the main top portion of each cap exposed to the heating and cooling means. While held under pressure of the plungers, the caps, during the rotation of the wheel are first heated by means of a perforated pipe 34 and a Bunsen burner 35 and then cooled by a pipe 35 connected to an air blower. In the pipe 35 are two series of holes at right-angles so as to cool all parts of the caps. Finally the caps are automatically discharged by a fixed arm 33 into a shoot 32. During the feeding and discharge of the caps the plungers 24 are retracted by a cam 29

Abstract: 5276. Fairweather, W., [Underwood Typewriter Co.]. March 3. Ink-ribbon mechanism.-The vibrator is operated by a device, such as a rotary slotted cam formed with an active part and a concentric or dwell part, adapted to throw the vibrator and then to stop or lock it against overthrow or other movement, the stop acting without impact of moving parts. The mechanism is particularly adapted for use with multicolour ribbons and is shown as arranged for a two-colour ribbon and including also an adjustment to compensate for platen-shift. The vibrator lever 26 is pivoted at 27 to a bracket 28, described below, and is provided with two pins 36, 37 equidistant from the pivot 27 and adapted respectively to engage slotted cams 42, 43 formed on arms 40, 41 which are loose on a shaft 38 in the bracket 28. The cam slots 44, 45, Fig. 4, each consist of an active part and a concentric or dwell part, the parts meeting at an angle about half-way between the ends of the slots. The active part of the slot 44 is arranged to give a greater throw than the active part of the slot 45. The tails of the arms 40, 41 are connected by a pin 47 engaging the slotted end 48 of an arm 49 secured to a rock-shaft 50 carrying the ribbon-actuating universal bar 52. The cams can be moved laterally by a key-lever 61 which is connected to the cams by a link and a slide 54. For the stencil-adjustment, the key-lever 61 is set horizontally, neither of the cams being then in engagement. In operation, either of the cams acts to throw the ribbon to the printing point and the throw is arrested when the dwell part of the cam engages the pin, the dwell also acting to lock the vibrator positively against movement. The bracket 28 is pivoted at 30, Fig. 4, to arms 29 on the shiftrail 7 and is provided with an arm 34 which is formed with an inclined slot 33 engaging a fixed pin 31 on the framework.
