Title: Improvements in and relating to Machines for Automatically Moulding, Cutting and Stamping Blocks, Cakes, Lozenges and the like of any Paste such as Butter, Margarine, Chocolate, Grease, Soap and the like
Inventor: ANDRIESSE HUGO
IPC: A01J21/02
Filed: 1909-01-15
Granted: 1909-04-29
Abstract: 1083. Andriesse, H. Jan. 15. Cutting-machines. -A machine for moulding, cutting, and stamping blocks &c. of butter, margarine, chocolate, grease, soap, &c. comprises an extrusion press from which a bar of the material is fed on to roller 16 arranged in front of stationary cutting-wires 17, and is pushed through the latter by means of plungers 11 carried by depending bars 6 reciprocated in guides 4 by means of a crank 29 and connecting-rod 31. A knife 12 carried by the reciprocating frame divides the bar from the main stream, and the tablets are stamped, prior to severance by the wires 17, by means of stamps 9 carried by arms secured to a rocking shaft carried by the bars 6 and rocked by means of an arm carrying a roller 14 moving over a cam 15. The severed tablets are received upon a conveyer 18 and pass to workmen who place them first in a preliminary wrapping of paper and then upon faster moving belts 19, which convey them to other workmen who place them in boxes &c., which are conveniently supplied from a basket 25. Boards 33, 34, 35, 36, Fig. 6, enclose the belts 19 and also support boards 37 on which the wrapping-paper is stored. Extrusion dies.-The mouth-piece 2, Fig. 5, of the extrusion machine is interchangeable, and is provided with an adjustable plate 3 to regulate the size of the bar, the rear end of the plate being formed with a flange 3<1> to prevent escape of material.

Title: Improvements in Telephone Exchanges.
IPC: H04M9/00
Filed: 1909-03-11
Granted: 1909-05-13
Abstract: 5904. Siemens Bros. & Co., [Siemens & Halske Akt.-Ges]. March 11. Exchange systems.-Relates to calling and clearing arrangements in exchange telepbone systems in which the call relay is permanently in the line circuit and controls an auxiliary relay having two or more windings, one winding being permanently connected between the socket lead and earth. In the system shown in Fig. 1, the auxiliary relay HR has a low-resistance winding W<1> and a high-resistance winding W<2>, the ratio of the turns in each winding being the same as the ratio of their resistances, so that, when the windings are connected in parallel in the same circuit, they nullify each other. The attraction of the armature a of the call relay AR completes the circuit of the winding W<1> of the relay HR, which in turn closes the circuits of the call and pilot lamps AL, PL. On inserting the answering- plug, current flows through the clearing-lamp SL and winding W<2>, which nullifies the winding W<1> so that the lamps AL, PL are extinguished. The resistance of the winding W<2> is so great that the lamp SL does not glow. but when the call relay is de-energized, the winding W<1> is put in parallel with the winding W<2>, and the consequent increase in current causes the lamp SL to glow. In the modification shown in Fig. 3, the relay HR is energized by current through the winding W<1> and resistance W<v>. On inserting the plug AS, current flows through the lamp SL, winding W<2>, and resistance W<v>, thus nullifying the winding W<1>. When the call relay is de-energized, the winding W<3> is put in parallel with the resistance W<v>, thereby increasing the current through the lamp SL sufficiently to make it glow. The winding W<3> neutralizes the effect of the increased current through the winding W<2>. In a further modification, the armature of the call relay short-circuits the winding W<2> of the relay HR when the call relay is de-energized.

Patent GB-190922585-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in the Drying and Burning or Calcining of Slip, Slurry, Chalk, Clay, Limestone, and the like, and in Apparatus therefor.
Inventor: HEWITT WILLIAM WALTER
IPC: F27B9/24
Filed: 1909-10-04
Granted: 1910-11-04
Abstract: 22,585. Hewitt, W. W. Oct. 4. [Cognate Application, 25,146/09.] Tunnel kilns.-A kiln for drying and burning or calcining slip, slurry, chalk, clay, limestone, &c. is composed of fixed side walls and two series of travelling trays which form the top and bottom of the kiln. In the form of kiln shown in Fig. 1 and, diagrammatically, in Fig. 3, the upper and lower trays, b, c are connected together so as to form endless, chains and are driven along rails a<1>. Both series of trays have depending flanges dipping into sand troughs d, d<1> and travel in the same direction, the wet material to be dried being fed by a shoot f<1>, Fig. 3, on to the upper series of trays, and the dried material to be burnt or calcined being fed through a shoot f<2> on to the lower series. Hot gases enter between the series of trays through apertures e in the side walls and escape by the chimney f, Fig. 3. The trays are connected together by links g and are driven by sprocket-wheels h. Material falling from the trays at the exit end may be received in conveyers h<1>. In order to avoid transferring the dried material the whole length of the kiln before the burning process, two kilns, such as shown in Fig. 5, are arranged side by side. The trays from one kiln pass on to cross-rails, where they are discharged and recharged, and then pass to and form part of the other kiln. The exit ends of the two kilns may be slightly higher than the entrance ends so that the trays on leaving one kiln will run down to the entrance end of the other under the influence of gravity. The transfer rails may be so arranged that the upper ones are not vertically above the lower ones in order to avoid mixing the contents of the upper and lower trays. The trays may be provided with automatic couplings, such as pivoted catches.
