Patent GB-190423728-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Machinery for the Manufacture of Envelopes, Paper Bags, Paper Pockets and the like.
Inventor: BIRDSALL HERBERT WILLIAM
Filed: 1904-11-02
Granted: 1905-11-02
Abstract: 23,728. Birdsall, H. W. Nov. 2. Paper and like bags.- In a machine for forming paper and like bags from paper, fabric, or paper and fabric combined, cut blanks are pressed down between two feed-rollers by means of a reciprocating blade, and are thus folded across s their centres. The blanks are then gripped between a pair of endless bands, which carry them over pasting-rollers and then through guides which fold over the outer longitudinal edges of the blanks. After passing through pressing-rollers, the bags are delivered to a receiving-trough in which they receive a further pressing. A blank placed under the cam-operated blade c is pressed by it between the rollers g, h, which fold it transversely and deliver it to the travelling belts l, m running over the tension rollers n, q. The belts l, m, which are narrower than the blank and are pressed together by rollers i, k, carry it under two laterally-adjustable pasting-rollers s and thence between a pair of edge-folders 1, one of which is shown in detail in Fig. 2. the fixed folders 1 are laterally-adjustable and are so shaped that they first raise the edges of the blank and then fold them completely over. The guide - bars 2, fixed to the guides by brackets 3, 4, ensure the correct folding of the edges of the blank. After leaving the folders 1, the completed bags pass through pressiog-rollers 8, 9 and are delivered to the trough 14 by the tapes 10, 11 and rollers 12, 13. When a bag drops from the rollers 12, 13, it falls vertically between the horizontally-reciprocating piece 15, operated from the cam-actuated bell-crank lever 24, 25, and the forked end of the vertically - reciprocating piece 19, operated by the rocking lever 32 and chain 31. The piece 19 then descends, and the piece 15 presses the bag towards the spring- pressed piece 33. At the end of this motion, the piece 19 again rises and the prongs of its forked end enter vertical grooves cut in the face of the piece 15. The bag is thus held in place while the piece 15 returns to receive another bag. The machine is said to be applicable for forming protective boot and shoe linings, of the type described in Specification No. 9721, A.D. 1903, [Abridgment Class Boots &c.].

Title: Improvements in Bending Machines.
Inventor: ARBER JOHN
Filed: 1905-04-10
Granted: 1905-07-13
Abstract: 7544. Arber, J. April 10. Bending.-A machine for bending rods and bars has a lug projecting from the base-plate A by which the machine is fixed to an anvil or bed. A lever C, Fig. 1, pivoted on a pin B passing through the lug, carries an adjustable block D, and a templet F round which the bar is to be bent is also carried by the pin.

Granted: 1906-03-01
Abstract: 9180. Thompson, W. S. May 2. Cranes.-In cranes, especially those used on ships for loading and unloading cargo, in which a spur-wheel on the barrel shaft is driven from a pinion on the driving-shaft put into or out of gear by means of a sliding clutch controlled by a hand-lever, means are provided for varying the speed of rotation of the hoisting-barrel, so that slack of the chain or rope may be quickly taken up. In the arrangement shown in the Figure, the sliding clutch 1 is adapted to engage the pinion 3, gearing with the spur-wheel 6 on the barrel shaft, when the hand -lever 8 occupies the position 9, shown by dotted lines. The invention comprises the provision on the clutch 1 of a spur-wheel 2 adapted to gear with an additional spur-wheel 5 on the barrel shaft when the hand-lever 8 is shifted into the position 11. Under this condition the barrel revolves at a greater rate, and is enabled to take up slack quickly without increase in the speed of the engine.

Abstract: 3514. Fairweather, W., [Wheeler & Wilson Manufacturing Co.]. Feb. 13. Lock-stitch hook sewing-machines.-Relates to machines that employ a rotary hook, making two revolutions to each needle-bar movement and of the type described in Specification No. 13,993, A.D. 1892. In order to care for and properly cast off the needle loop, the gib 17 or removable portion of the hook is provided with two points 18, 20. The point 18 covers the loop-taker 19 and prevents it from seizing the bobbin thread. The hook 20 retains the needle-thread loop as it slips over the bobbin case, as shown in Fig. 3, until it passes the top mid position. As in the prior invention, a flange of the bobbin case runs in a race in the hook, part of which is removable for the insertion and withdrawal of the bobbin case. The bobbin case is kept from rotation by a stop 12.

One part of the rim b<1>, Fig. 3, is formed with a seating d<1> into which the other part fits without soldering. A short tube u, secured by a transverse bolt r, braces the two parts and is telescopically fitted to a tube v of elliptical section attached to the hub. A pin t, adjnstably secured to the rim by a bolt s, has a sliding head p<1> between which and a piece o', held by a shoulder on the tube v, a rubber buffer f is held. In a modification, the tube u is dispensed with, the tube v being stopped by a collar.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Removing Scale from Boiler and the like Tubes.
Inventor: GEORGES JACQUES
Filed: 1906-05-01
Granted: 1906-10-18
Abstract: 10,227. Georges, J., and Dormoy, E. A. May 1. Cleaning tubes.-Relates to boiler-tube and like scaling-apparatus of the type in which sharptoothed wheels are mounted on studs having bearings in radial slots. In the form shown in Fig. 3, the end plates 17, 18, fitted with recesses to receive springs which act on the studs carrying the tapered scraping-wheels 28, are connected by pillars 19, while auxiliary scraping-wheels 20 are fitted in the plate 17. This arrangement permits the use of scraping-wheels of large diameter. mounted on strong studs, and the framing is prevented from rubbing the inner surface of the tube. The axes of the wheel studs may be inclined to the longitudinal axis of the frame, as shown in Fig. 2, and this causes the scraping-wheels to bury themselves in the scale when the cleaner is rotated. Fig. 7 shows a modification in which a central body 36 is used instead of the framing, and the wheel studs are pressed by springs 34 against the pivots 21. Fig. 9 shows a form in which the end plates are connected by a central pillar, and the wheel studs have at their ends spring-pressed blocks 23. Fig. 12 shows a combination of the forms shown in Figs. 7 and 9.

Abstract: 13,896. Williams, H. D. June 15. Revolving-cylinder pumps; actuating; stroke, varying.-Relates to apparatus of the type in which a number of pistons work in cylinders formed in a rotating body arranged on one side of a port plate and force liquid into an exactly similar apparatus on the other side of the said plate, each apparatus having an inclinable rotary member for varying the stroke of the pistons, and consists in arranging the parts so that the connexions between the pump pistons and the inclinable rotary member are permanently parallelto the axis of the pumping system. Fig. 1 shows a part sectional view of the apparatus. The cylinders 12, pistons 17, pistonrods 18, and brace rods 23 are all arranged parallel to the driving-shaft 4, and are worked by means of a swash - plate 30. The rods act on spherical segments 27 attached to the swash-plate, as shown in Fig. 4. The piston and brace rods are guided parallel to the shaft by means of two guide-sleeves 16, 24, having ball bearings 19, 25 as supports for rods, these being held in place by cages 20, 26. The obliquity of the swash-plate causes the pistons to reciprocate in the cylinders, and the motion is transmitted by means of oil through the ports 2<c>, 2<d> in the mid-plate 2, Fig. 7, to a similar mechanism on the other side. The piston-rods are provided with yokes 21 which can slide along the shaft. The inclination of the swash-plate can be altered by means of a toothed sector and a worm worked from a hand-wheel, the swash-plate being supported on trunnions 33. The sleeves 28 between the ball segments fit loosely in the plate 30 to allow of this movement.
