Title: Improvements in or connected with Machines or Apparatus for Filling Syphon Bottles with Aerated Waters.
Filed: 1908-05-18
Granted: 1909-04-01
Abstract: 10,738. Meadowcroft, J., and Meadowcroft & Son, W. May 18. Bottling.-Relates to machines for filling siphons and consists in using (1) an adjustable siphonsupport carried on a pedestal enclosing the leveroperating mechanism, (2) hand-operated cams for adding liquid to an incompletely filled bottle, and (3) the filling-head described in Specification No. 12,598, A.D. 1907. The siphon-supports 3, Figs. 1 and 2, are carried by pedestals 2 mounted on a rotating table 1. The base of the support 3 consists of a hollow spindle 5, Fig. 2, which rests on a strong spring 6 inside the pedestal 2. A rod 8 passes through the spindle 5 and screws into a cap 9, which is pressed upwards against a pivoted rod 11 by a spring 16 of less strength than the spring 6. The lower end of the rod 8 is connected to one end of a pivoted lever 17, the other end of which carries a bowl 21 which travels over a camsurface 18 as the table rotates. An empty siphon is placed on the holder when the bowl is running on the cam. As the bowl leaves the cam, the spring 6 raises the holder and presses the spout of the siphon against the filling-nozzle 7. The weaker spring 16 then presses the lever 11 upwards against the siphon lever and opens the valve. When the rod 8 is drawn downwards, the spring 16 is compressed before the spring 6, thus closing the siphon valve before the spout is withdrawn from the filling-nozzle. The filling-heads are carried above the bottle rests by a frame 36, Fig. 1, which rotates with the table 1. Each filling-head comprises a filling-valve 22, Fig 1, connected with a soda-water machine and a snift valve 23 connected with a backpressure chamber 24. The rotation of the table brings the filling-head under cams 26, 25, which open the filling-valve and the snift valve respectively. The cam 25 has several operating-surfaces of different sizes, which can be brought into the line of the snift valve by loosening the wing-nut 60 and partly rotating the cam. Just before the siphon is removed, the filling-head passes under additional cams which may be depressed by a hand-lever to bring them into position to engage the valves. By this means, the charging process may be continued should a siphon be incompletely filled. The filling- head is loosely mounted on a spindle 33 attached to the framework 36, and unless it is raised by a siphon in position for filling, the valve-operating rods are not engaged by the cams.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Wagon Tipping Plants.
Inventor: BOULT ALFRED JULIUS
IPC: B65G67/00
Filed: 1909-04-21
Granted: 1910-04-21
Abstract: 9498. Boult, A. J., [Maschinenfabrik Baum, Akt.-Ges.]. April 21. Rotary tipplers.-In rotary tipplers of the kind in which the throwing into gear of the tippler device may be effected automatically by the departing empty truck, this operation, together with the release of the locking-device in front of the tippler, is effected by a fluidpressure cylinder controlled by a three-way cock. On the release of a stop a, the loaded truck runs down an inclined track a' into the tippler, where it is held by an automatic braking-device c. The empty truck, on leaving the tippler, engages a lever e, which, through the medium of a device d releases the stop a to admit the next truck. The device d, which is controlled by a three-way cock 5, comprises a fluid-pressure cylinder 1, a slide 2, an oilcataract 3, and a connexion 4 to the stop a. The cock 5 is moved in one direction by the lever e, and in the reverse direction by levers operated by a bolt f on the tippler. In the position of rest, the driving-roller o<1> is opposite a recess n in the parts p<1> of the tippler, and is inoperative. When the brake blocks q<1> are released by the device d against the influence of a balance weight, the roller o<1> engages the bottom of the recess and rotates the tippler. After a full load has entered the tippler, the connecting-rod p of the stop a becomes disengaged from the piston of the cylinder 1 by a pawl q, Fig. 5, encountering a cam-face r, and the stop is thrown up by its balance weight. To provide for intervals in the working, when no truck would be on the rails at a', levers h at the entrance end of the tippler are connected to levers g at the exit end, which levers are thrown upwards by balance weights. The last empty truck is thus held at g until released by another full truck depressing the lever h. The tippler may be thrown into gear by hand if necessary.
