Title: Improvements in Machines for Applying Seals to Bottles
Inventor: MARKS GEORGE CROYDON
Filed: 1904-12-20
Granted: 1905-01-19
Abstract: 27,884. Marks, G. C., [Champion Seal Co.]. Dec. 20. Stoppering; capsuling and sealing bottles.-Relates to machines for applying sealing-discs or closures to bottles, and consists, chiefly, in forming the plunger of the machine in a number of independent spring-controlled sections, so that the plunger, as a whole, adapts itself to variations or irregularities in the seat provided in the bottle neck to receive the closure. The apparatus is shown as adapted for inserting "seals" or closures of the kind shown in Fig. 9, consisting of a sealing disc seating against a horizontal annular seat in the bottle neck, and a flanged metal member which, by the action of the applying plunger, is sprung into locking engagement with the wall of the bottle above the seat. The apparatus may, however, be adapted to other forms of "seal," either internal or external. The plunger 15 of the sealing-head 9 consists of a number of sections 16, Figs. 2 and 6, each mounted under control of a spiral spring 19 and a longer but weaker spring 20. The springs are inserted in the recess 18 of the section, and the longer spring normally bears against the flange 21 of the retaining-cap 22. The lower end of the plunger is surrounded by a spiral spring 32, which controls the "seal" holder 24, Figs. 2 and 8, this holder being provided with a series of spring-controlled fingers or catches 25, Fig. 8, for holding the "seal" until it is applied by the plunger. The lower end of each section of the plunger is reduced, as at 46, Fig. 6, and is formed with a bead 47 at its outer edge, the beads of the several sections together forming the operative portion of the plunger, which does not bear on the central part of the closure in applying it to the bottle. The sealing- head 9 is carried by the rod 4 connected by the rod 6 to the treadle 7, and is guided by the parts 8<1>, 8<11>. The bottle, placed on the rest 35, is positioned by the guide 44, which may be adjustable. The bottle rest is provided with a resilient block 36, and may be mounted, as shown, under control of a spring 37 and an adjusting screw and nut 40, 38, the movement of the rest being limited by pin-and-slot connections 42. The rest may, however, be rigid, ur of other suitable form it may, for instance, have trips for limiting the applied pressure. As an alternative, the sealing- head may be stationary, and the bottle resr adapted to be moved up to it ; or both parts may be movable towards each other. The plunger is controlled by the springs 20 during the first part of its movement, and these springs are reinforced by the springs 19 before the final action.

Title: Improvements in Brake Mechanism.
Inventor: GODEAU PIERRE LOUIS MARIE
Filed: 1906-03-28
Granted: 1906-09-27
Abstract: 7518. Godeau, P. L. M. April 11, 1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Compressing.- To apply a brake, a pump is connected, by a clutch, to the part to be retarded and forces air directly into the brake cylinder, the pressure in the cylinder being regulated by a valve which is operated by the clutch-actu ating m e a n s. A sprocket-wheel 13 is loose on a shaft 14, and is driven continuously by a chain from a sprocket-wheel which is integral with a brake drum on the hub of a road vehicle wheel or on a machine. When a cord 35 is actuated by a pedal to cause a fork 18 to release a disk 15, this disk is forced along a square part of the shaft 14 by a spring 19, causing a projection 17 upon it to engage a projection 16 on the sprocket-wheel 13. The shaft 14 is thus rotated, and the pump piston 22 forces air into the brake cylinder 5 through a valve 23. This moves the piston 24 outwardly to apply the brakes. A conical valve 37 fits into an orifice in the brake cylinder, and is carried upon a spring blade 38 upon the back of which bears a finger 39 upon a rod 40 which is inserted in the cord 35. When the cord is operated to put the clutch into gear, the finger 39 is moved along the blade 38 and determines, by its position thereon, the pressure at which the valve 37 will be lifted. To release the brake, the finger 39 is moved rearwardly, allowing the valve 37 to open.

Title: Improvements in Resilient Devices for Distributing Motion.
Inventor: GILBERT WALTER VILLA
Filed: 1906-04-06
Granted: 1907-01-31
Abstract: 8316. Gilbert, W. V. April 6. Levers.-Relates to improvements in the resilient devices for transmitting motion called "vilcars," described in Specification No. 19,727, A.D. 1905. To enable the flaps or their parts to have dissimilar motions, the back indent is so located that the backs have tetragonal formations other than square or diamond shaped. Fig. 9 shows the detent b on the back a of a "vilcar" inclined to, and its ends differently distanced from, the line joining the apices x. When the apices are pressed together, the flaps c and the parts forming the flaps have different motions. In Fig. 4, the detent b is shown placed at right-angles to the line of apices to give similar motions to the wings and to their oppositely-placed parts. The lines of jointure of the back and wings may be corrugated, as shown at f, to increase the flexibility of the device, the apical edges may have indents e to accentuate the differential movements, and these edges may be thickened or otherwise reinforced to give the arrangement rigidity. Other forms of " vilcars " are also described. By extending one of the flaps and diminishing the other as shown in Fig. 17, the device may be adapted for use for aeronautical purposes. For this purpose, the upper wing c may be furnished with feathers and the like and provided on its underside with cross-bars or straps g, Fig. 19, to stiffen the wing transversely. Also, a tongue may be cut in one or each of the wings to act as a flap valve when the device is in operation, closing as the wings approach, and opening as they open. Fig. 24 shows two juxtaposed " vilcars." Pressure is applied to the apical ends x by mechanical or other means to cause the extended wings to vibrate. In the Provisional Specification it is stated that by actuating the " vilcars " separately a steering effect may be produced.
