Title: Machine for Washing and Rinsing Bottles and Casks
Inventor: LAPP VALENTIN
Filed: 1903-05-11
Granted: 1903-06-25
Abstract: 10,714. Lapp, V. May 11, Bottles and casks, cleaning.-Relates to means for washing, rinsing, and cleaning the inside and outside of bottles uniformly and automatically. The essential feature of the invention consists in the provision of means for supplying, in succession, cleaning-materials of different kinds to the interior of the bottles or casks. Fig. 1 shows a part vertical section, and Fig. 2 a part sectional plan of a machine more particularly adapted for cleaning bottles. The bottles B, inverted, are each mounted on a rotary spindle 1 carrying a brush for cleaning the inside of the bottle. Each spindle is mounted in a chamber, which communicates with an annular pipe 7 connected by tubular spokes 8 with a rotary casing 9 communicating with a hollow plug 10, the interior of which is divided by vertical radial partitions into separate chambers (in this case four), serving for the supply and discharge of the cleansing materials. Soda solution is admitted to one chamber, steam or hot water to a second, cold water to a third, while the fourth serves to discharge any liquid remaining in the pipes 7, 8 after the completion of the washing operation. In this manner each fluid is distributed over a certain length of the pipe 7, and thence to the bottles. The bottles are held at their upper end by wire loops 3. The exteriors of the bottles are cleaned by fixed brushes 38 and revolving brushes 39, a supply of water being effected through suitably-arranged pipes. The brushes 39 are revolved on the axis 43, from which is driven a shaft 47, which, through a cord on the pulleys 48, 26, rotates the spindles 1 so that adjacent spindles and the brushes carried by them rotate in opposite directions. The bottles are themselves rotated as they revolve by wheels 34 mounted on the chambers to which the bottles are connected, the said wheels engaging with an internally-toothed ring 35. The cleansing-liquids which fall out of the bottle are caught by a saucer 31 and conveyed through funnels 32 to a discharge pipe 33.

Title: Glass-blowing Tool.
Inventor: DEWERPE AUGUSTE
Filed: 1903-11-30
Granted: 1904-01-21
Abstract: 26,173. Dewerpe, A., and Mayeur, J. Nov. 30. Blowing.-Relates to a glass-blowing tool for use in blowing jar or bottle necks, and all hollow glassware, but more particularly for blowing cylinders for window glass. The tool, which consists of two concentric tubes A, B, braced near their lower ends by a number of radial arms C, is lowered into the glass, until the lower edge of a bait G, attached to the lower end of the outlet tube B, touches the glass. A small quantity of compressed air or other blowing-fluid is then admitted through the inlet pipe A, to prevent the glass from rising within the bait, which is then lowered into the glass and the pressure of the blowing-fluid increased to start a small bulb, after which the tool is raised and the pressure further increased to expand the bulb to the shape desired. The heated air rising from the glass escapes through openings D in a cap which closes the upper end of the outlet tube B, the openings D being normally closed by spring-controlled valves E. In a modified form, the inlet and outlet tubes are arranged side by side, and joined by an elbow near their lower ends.

Inventor: BIERMANN FRITZ
Filed: 1903-12-12
Granted: 1904-10-06
Abstract: 27,283. Biermann, F. Dec. 12. Counting-apparatus for use in electric, gas,water, and other meters consists of three parts, one of which registers the grand total up to date, while the others record the quantity taken during a given period and its price respectively, and can be put back to zero when required. Printing-appatus is provided for each counter. On the shaft of the main counter of the meter is an insulating-cylinder with two connected contact segments, which in rotating alternately open and close a battery circuit through two contact springs and an electromagnet E'. The armature of the magnet is pivoted on an axle E<7> and normally held in a diagonal position by a spring E<6>. On the axle E<7> is a pawl E<5> acting on a ratchet-wheel F, which has a second pawl Q. The ratchet-wheel F is fixed to the main shaft G<1> of the counter A, and the common shaft G<3> of the other two counters A<1>, A<2> is provided with a ratchet-wheel K' which is acted on by a spring pawl S' having a handle S<3>, attached to a disc on the shaft G<1>. One wheel of each counter is fixed to the shaft, and the others are geared in the usual way with the first. Each has two sets of figures, one for indicating and the other for printing ; or the type-wheels may be on separate shafts, and geared to the counters by chains or other means. The rotation of the shaft G3 serves by means of gear-wheels L, M', M<2> to coil up a spring 0, situated in a casing P, which spring brings the counters A<1>, A' back to zero when the ratchet-wheel K<1> is released. A recessed-wheel R, as in clocks, prevents the spring from losing all its tension. Rollers W are pushed forward by means of a handle W', against the action of springs, so as to ink the types. A paper strip T<1> from a roller T is drawn along over a table U, which can be raised against the type-wheels by turning the handle V<1> fixed to the shaft V, this shaft having a pin V<2> engaging with a helical slot in the socket V<3>.

Title: Improvements in or connected with the Feed for Coal Cutting Machines and the like.
Inventor: ECKERSLEY FRANK
Filed: 1904-03-03
Granted: 1905-03-02
Abstract: 5259. Eckersley, F. March 3. Undercutting &c.-Relates to feed motions for coal-cutting and like machines, which are hauled forward by a rope wound on a drum driven through the intervening feed device by the main gear, the arrangement being such that, when the tension of the rope exceeds a certain amount, the feed device is thrown out of gear. In Figs. 1 and 2, an elevation and plan respectively, the drum is keyed on a shaft B which also carries a spur-wheel in gear with a pinion A gearing with a worm E fixed on a sleeve F sliding loosely on a shaft G. A spring H, the pressure of which may be regulated by a screw K, is supported by a bracket J and serves normally to keep a collar L, fixed on the worm E, in gear with a similar collar fixed on the shaft G which is driven from the main gear of the machine. If the tension on the haulage rope exceeds the pressure exerted by the spring, multiplied in proportion to the number of teeth on the gear-wheels, the worm is thrown out of gear with the driving shaft, and the machine ceases to advance till the tension of the rope falls below the multiplied spring pressure. If desired, the haulage drum may be placed on the shaft C, a proportionately-stronger spring being used.

Abstract: 10,339. Bailey, W. O. May 5. Disc and wheel apparatus.-Relates to apparatus for supplying water and abrading - materials to vertical mills for grinding glass, such as are described in Specification No. 20,988, A.D. 1901. The water and fine sand, emery, &c. are kept mixed in the vessel k, and the mixture is passed along a feed-pipe into a vessel a which is flexible and is intermittently pressed by the lever g, the other end g<1> of which is operated by an eccentric or cam i on the mixer shaft. The feed-pipe is provided with a regulating-valve f and a suitable non-return valve. The pressure on the flexible vessel a discharges the mixture of water and sand &c. in spurts through a nozzle e<1> on to the grinding- mill. It also sets up a pulsating movement of the liquid which tends to keep the sand from clogging up the discharge pipe e. The cam i may be of the form shown in Fig. 5, and capable of longitudinal adjustment along the shaft so that the stroke of the lever may be varied. This may also be done by altering the position of the fulcrum. The vessel a may be constructed with rigid portions so long as a pulsating movement can be set up in it.
