Inventor: STIKER FLAVIUS PAUL
Filed: 1902-08-11
Granted: 1903-01-08
Abstract: 17,602. Stiker, F. P., and Burton, O. C. Aug. 11. Blanks, supplying; screwing; milling turning.-A feed-shoot for metal - cutting machines, particularly for feeding bolt blanks into a screwing-machine, has a T-slot in its lower side to receive the heads A of the blanks B, the shoot 112 being inclined so that the blanks slide by gravity till the lowest one is arrested by a catch 99, Figs. 4 and 5, pivoted at 101 on the shoot. The catch is intermittently rocked by a bevelled block 104 on a sliding rod engaging a roller 102 on the rear end of the catch. This movement of the catch releases one blank at a time, the head of the released blank engaging a stop 54D on a fixed guide 54, while the neck enters one of a number of notches 95 A in a carrier disc 95 by which the blank is transferred to the screwing-dies &c. The head of the blank, which has at least one pair of parallel sides, passes along a groove C in the guide, Fig. 5 showing a blank just entering the guide. To prevent the blank from being jammed in this position by the weight of a large number of blanks in the shoot acting cornerwise on it, a catch E, similar to the catch 99, is pivoted on the shoot to hold back all except the first few blanks, this catch being rocked after each rocking of the catch 99 to allow one blank to pass from the upper into the lower set while the latter is retained by the catch 99. The catch E is rocked by an arm J on a rotating disc 13 engaging an arm I on the catch. The sliding rod carrying the block 104 is moved against a spring 111A by a projection 20 on a disc 19 engaging a toe 108 on a block 106 adjustable on the rod. The discs 13, 19 are carried by a shaft 146 of the machine. The catches are returned to the retaining position by leaf springs.

Title: Improvements in Sheet Metal Stoppers for Bottles, Jars and the like,
Inventor: WEIBBENTHANNER ALFRED LOUIS
Filed: 1904-10-29
Granted: 1905-02-16
Abstract: 23,381. Weissenthanner, A. L. Nov. 27, A.D. 1903, [date applied for under Patents Act, A.D. 1901]. Stoppers; capsules, bottle &c. - Sheet - metal stoppers, which are formed with depending flanges adapted to be bent or spun under beads on the bottle &c. necks, are also formed with stiffened tongue-pieces adapted to facilitate the removal of the stoppers from the bottles &c. Fig. 1 shows a stopper for a small bottle. The stopper is formed with two diametrically-opposed tongue-pieces, one 4 of which is shown. Above one of the tonguepieces, a horizontal slit 6 is formed so that, when this tongue, called the releasing-tongue, is torn upwards, it is entirely removed from the stopper, and the stopper may then be removed from the bottle by the other tongue-piece, called the removing-tongue ; portions of the flange 7 may be cut away, as shown, during the manufacture of the stopper to facilitate the removing operation. In the modification shown in Fig. 6, the recessed parts 11 of the flange form the base-line of the releasing-tongue 10, which can be broken off along the slit 12. In the stopper shown in Fig. 7, the tongue-pieces are stiffeaed by vertical ribs 16, and the stopper is adapted for a bottle in which the locking-shoulder is some distance from the bottle mouth. In this case, the flange is weakened above the releasing-tongue by a horizontal slit 19 and a vertical slit 20. The stopper shown in Fig. 9 is provided with one tongue-piece only, the flange being weakened by two horizontal slits 26. When applied to a bottle requiring a stopper with a deep flange, the flange is further weakened by vertical slits at the outer extremities of the horizontal slits. When the above stoppers are applied to jars &c. with large mouths, the releasing and removing tongues are duplicated, similar tongues being diametrically opposed. The lower edges of the flanges are bent into circumferential recesses 36, Fig. 12, formed in the necks of the vessels, and the tongue - pieces are supported by projecting portions 37 formed below the recesses 36. In a modification, the tongue-pieces may be stiffened by ribs formed around their edges, and deep flanges are weakened by vertical slits. Fig. 18 shows a stopper for a tumbler. The stopper is formed with a depending flange 52, and with two releasing and two removing tongues. Horizontal grooves are formed at the bases of the tongue-pieces sothat the stopper can be sprung over the mouth of the tumbler, further engagement between stopper and tumbler being obtained by corrugated bearing- surfaces 60 arranged above the removing-tongues 55.
