Patent GB-190901725-A (GB)
Title: New or Improved Machinery for Labelling Packets of Tobacco and other Material.
Inventor: BRACY EDWARD LEROY
IPC: B65C1/04
Filed: 1908-02-01
Granted: 1909-03-01
Abstract: 1725. Bracy, E. L. Feb. 1, 1908. Labelling.-In machines for applying labels &c. to the ends and partly to the sides of packets of tobacco &c., the labels are fed across the open mouths of receiving-tubes carried by intermittently-moving conveyer-chains, and a plunger presses each packet and label into the corresponding receiving-tube. Fig. 3 shows a section of the machine at right-angles to the length of the conveyer which carries the packets into position for labelling. This intermittently-moving conveyer passes round a drum 181 and brings the packets up to a stop 184. The receiving-tubes 187 are carried by chains passing round sprocket-wheels 210 on a shaft 206, and, as each tube arrives by the stop 184, a label, pasted by an ordinary device 189, is fed by known means 238 over the mouth of the tube. A plunger carried by an horizontally-reciprocating member 221 then presses the packet and label into the tube 187. Flat springs arranged at the sides of the tubes press the ends of the label on to the sides of the packet. The plunger is reciprocated by means of a lever 218 and a cam 215x on a shaft 194. An arm 222 pivoted at 223 carries a folder 224 at its end which folds down the top fold of the packet if it has sprung up during its passage from the packing-machine. As the plunger moves forward, a wedge 225 on the slider 221 raises the arm 222 to lift the folder 224. The tubes 187 are preferably of sufficient length to contain two packets, so that the first packet remains in the tube while the latter is carried round by the chains. When the tube receives a second packet, the first is pushed farther in, and when the next packet is inserted, the first is pushed out of the tube on to a delivery band or into a shoot 191 ; time is thus allowed for the label or stamp to dry. The tubes on the upper and lower runs of the chains are supported by rails 241, 233 respectively. The main driving-shaft 192 is arranged at right-angles to the shaft 194, and a crank 198 on it operates a star-wheel 197 on the shaft 206 to transmit intermittent motion to the tube-carrying chains. A roller 200 on a spring- controlled arm 201 engages with the notches of the star-wheel to prevent it from rotating when not engaged by the roller of the crank 198. A chain passing round a sprocket-wheel 205 on the shaft 206 transmits intermittent motion to the packet conveyer.

Abstract: 5167. Whiting, H. E. March 4,1908, [Convention date]. Filtering; dustcollectors.-The air for use in carburettors of internalcombustion engines is passed through a special form of filtering-device before it reaches the carburettor. Fig. 1 shows the air-filtering device 8 applied to a carburettor having an inclined nozzle 15 fixed to one wall of the float chamber 5 and projecting into a constricted air passage 14 of about twothirds the area of the air pipe. A valved passage 16 supplies additional air to the carburetted mixture, which is then delivered to the cylinders through a branched pipe 2. The air filter, Figs. 3 and 5, is contained in a casing comprising a cylindrical shell with bulged edges 26 fitting into recesses in end plates 19, 24 which are held together by long bolts. An inner chamber, packed with cotton, sponge, or fibrous material and having perforated top and bottom plates, is supported by a spring 38 above the level of a viscous liquid such as glycerine or 'oil contained in the outer chamber. The air is drawn by the suction of the engine through tubes 31, which pass from holes in the plate 24 through the filtering-chamber and terminate close to the level of the liquid, so that the entering air strikes the liquid surface and then rebounds and passes through the filtering-chamber to the central exit 42. The exit 42 is connected by an air-tight joint to a delivery pipe 9. The air inlets are controlled by a rotary plate 43, Fig. 7, which is pressed against the surface of the plate 24 by means of an adjustable spring 47 and is adjusted by means of a lever attached to the lug 49 so that the perforations 44 are more or less in alinement with the tubes 31.
