Title: Improvements in Machinery for Dowelling Timber as used by Packing Case Makers and others.
Inventor: ROWBOTHAM THOMAS
Filed: 1905-08-30
Granted: 1906-06-28
Abstract: 17,514. Rowbotham, T., Booth, S., and Clegg, R. Aug. 30. Dowelling.-Relates to a machine of the type described in Specification No. 8443, A.D. 1888, for dowelling and clamping together panels of timber used for making packing-cases &c. The panel H is held on the table F, while the dowels are being inserted, by levers I, I<1>, I<11> mounted on the shaft G, and actuated by the cam C' engaging the arm J. The spring S connecting the arm J to the lever I<2> enables the levers to grip panels of different thicknesses. The levers X, X<1>, X<11> which insert the dowels in the panels are mounted fast on the shaft V, actuated by the cam R engaging the arm U. The dowels are contained in boxes B<2> carried by brackets W, and are delivered one by one through slots in plates Z on levers Y, the ends of which are rocked by contact with the edge of the panel H. The dowel falls into a recess on to a supporting-lever ready to be driven by the lever X. When the panel is removed from the shelf F, the plates Z are retracted by a spring and fresh dowels drop into position for driving. The panels 7 with dowels are placed against the uprights 5, 5<2> supported by the adjustable bar 6, and are pressed together by the bar 16 actuated by racks r, r<1> engaged by pinions P, P' on the shaft E<2>. When the resistance to the motion of the bar 16 becomes great, the driving-mechanism is thrown out of gear by the arrangement shown in Fig. 3. The pinion 8 drives the wheel 9 attached to the ratchet-wheel 10 mounted loosely on the shaft E'. The arm 12<1>, also mounted loosely on the shaft E', carries the pawl 13 engaging the ratchet-wheel 10, and is pivoted to the lever 14 carrying the bowl b, which is pressed by the spring L into a recess d' in the disk d fast on the shaft E'. By these means, the shaft E' is rotated until the resistance is sufficient to lift the bowl b out of the recess, when the bowl b travels round the disk d until it again falls into the recess. This action causes the pawl 13 to drop by gravity out of engagement with the wheel 10. The panels 7 are prevented from bulging by the long lever Q held at the top by the catch M which, when put into engagement, throws the pawl 13 into gear with the wheel 10 by means of the rod N and a series of catch levers N<2>.

Granted: 1906-11-10
Abstract: 23,050. Klug, P. Nov. 10. Dyeing.-In apparatus which circulates the dye liquor, in order to avoid the necessity of emptying and cleaning the dye-vat between successive dyeings, a number of interchangeable holders b with perforated bottoms n containing the goods to be dyed are placed one on top ot the other in the usual vat and are locked together so that the liquor must pass through their bottoms. The adjoining edges of the holders or boxes b are made impermeable to the passage of liquid by packing c, and the top holder is closed by a perforated cover d. The whole is clamped together by means of hinged bolts e<2> acting on an outside cover e which rests on a ring e<1> on the perforated cover d. In operation, the dye -liquor is introduced from a vessel m by a pump f through a distributor i at the bottom of the right-hand vat a and up through the perforated bottoms n of the boxes b and the material in them. The liquor flows through the cover d, fills up the space between the boxes band the walls of the vat a, and then overflows through a connexion pipe g. When the space in the second vat a<1> is partially filled, a three - way cock j, previously closed towards the second vat, is closed towards the tank m, the pump f is reversed, and the liquor is forced through the distributor i and the boxes b in the second vat a<1> and exhausted from the first vat a. These operations are repeated until the dyeing is completed, and then the holders b are removed from the vats a, a<1> and replaced by others filled with fresh material for dyeing. A pipe connecting the two vat-supply pipes s, s' and provided with a cock may be used for drainage &c. The right-hand pipe is or may be provided with a drain-cock so that the holders b can be drained. The space between the holders and the walls of each vat may be drained by a tap l.
