Abstract: 29,380. Marks, G. G , [Sellenscheidt, C.]. Dec. 31. Corking; capsuling and sealing bottles &c.-Relates to a machine particularly adapted for corking o r similarly sealing a number of bottles, cans, or the like simultaneously, and independently o f variations in the lengths of the vessels. The rams or plungers a are operated by falling weights d, which can move between stops a<1>, a<11> on the plungers. E a c h weight is suspended from a cord e passing over a pulley f to a common crosshead g, so that all the weights can be lifted simultaneously b y a piston working in a cylinder h. The plungers are guided by movable sleeves, formed at their lower ends with nozzles adapted to engage and centre the mouths of the vessels, and at their upper ends with reduced parts adapted to be engaged by collars on the plungers. In operation, on the descent of the plungers, the sleeves first adjust themselves on the mouths of the vessels, and then the plungers descend and drive the corks or fix the capsules or other seals. The corks are fed into each of the corking-nozzles from a hopper i, by slides k adapted to be operated simultaneously by hand.

Title: An Improved Loom Selvage Motion
Inventor: NELSON JOE
Filed: 1905-02-07
Granted: 1905-05-25
Abstract: 2410. Nelson, J. Feb. 7. Looms, forming selvedges in; shedding-motions.- The selvedge healds at both sides of the loom are carried by endless bands B having loops L in which fit compressed spring clips H embracing a horizontal stave or rod A; or the stave A and bands B may be otherwise connected. The band B passes over bobbins M, U loosely mounted on fixed rod brackets on the loom sides. The rod A is raised by leather bands, tapes, &c. C connected to the quadrants D on the cross-rods E, and is lowered by a spring P and wire rod P<1>. To prevent the separate harness from bearing against the front stave G of the ordinary shedding-motion, the bands are guided between a guide-rod F and the top-rail F<1>, and are thus given a perpendicular lift. In a sateen loom, by changing the attachments to different quadrants, different kinds of selvedges are obtained.

Title: Improvements in, and relating to, Apparatus for Conveying Glassware into Annealing Leers
Filed: 1905-02-24
Granted: 1906-02-24
Abstract: 3930. Lake, H. H., [Heyl & Patterson]. Feb. 24. Conveyers. - Relates to means for automatically transferring articles of glassware from a conveyer to an intermittently-movable carrier arranged within the annealing-leer. The articles, after they have been blown or pressed, are placed in trays 22 carried by an horizontal chain 16, which is driven by sprocket - wheels 6, 7 and is provided with rollers engaging a guideway 18 between rails 19 shaped to conform to the arrangement of shops. A pinion 10 on the shaft 4, carrying the sprocket - wheel 6, meshes with a pinion 9 on a shaft 8 geared to a shaft 13 driven by any suitable power. The chain 16 engages a sprocketwheel 27 and imparts motion to a vertical shaft 26, and through it to a shaft 23. C a m s 28, 29, the cam 28 being the larger one, are mounted on the shaft 23 and have cam-ways which are engaged, respectively, by studs on levers 34, 35. These levers are pivoted to the frame at 36 and connected to rods 32, 33, to which is secured the pusher 39. The rod 32, owing to the arrangement of cams, moves forward more rapidly than the rod 33, and brings the pusher into a straight line, removing the articles from the inclined trays 22 to the shelf 86, Fig. 3, until the studs arrive at the extremities of the cam-ways, when the rods are carried forward at an increased rate of speed and the line of ware is pushed forward on to the pan of the leer as shown in dotted lines in Fig. 2. A projection 50, Fig. 3, on the cam 28 then comes into contact with a plate 47 suspended from an arm 48 on the shaft 23, so that, by means of the levers shown in the Figure and the rocking shaft 44, the rods 40, 41 raise the rods 32, 33 and the pusher is lifted out of the way of the line of the ware, which has been advanced to a position in front of the leer. By means of connexions on the shafts 23, 44, the leer carrier is driven until another pan has been brought into position, and then fixed so that no movement of the leer occurs until the pusher has advanced another line of ware on to the next pan.

Patent GB-190610549-A (GB)
Title: Improvements relating to Electrical Switching Devices for Telephonic Purposes
Filed: 1906-05-05
Granted: 1907-05-02
Abstract: 10,549. Lake, H. H., [Stromberg-Carlson Telephone Manufacturing Co.]. May 5. Telephone systems.-Relates to electrical switching-apparatus particularly applicable to party-line telephone callsystems, in which the operator's ring- ing and listening key is combined in one structure with a number of plugcontrolling buttons, depression of any one of which switches in a ringing- current of a distinct character. The construction of the apparatus is such that the depression of a button releases any other previously depressed, and restores the operator's key from the listening to the normal position ; actuation of the latter to the listening position, similarly, releases the buttons. The framework comprises an upper plate 1, connected to a supporting-bar 2 by pillars 3, 4. The operator's key consists of a pivoted plate 6 bearing a cylindrical piece 9 which co-operates with spring mechanism 10 in connexion with the operator's telephone set 11, Fig. 6, and a similar piece 12 operating spring switch - mechanism 13, suitably connected to sources of ringing-current. Stops 14, 15 are so adjusted that the piece 9 can, and the piece 12 cannot, pass sufficiently far between the springs to be retained by them. The stems 20 of the spring buttons 16-19 carry cam-pieces 23 and wedge-pieces 22, which actuate the corresponding spring switch - mechanism. A latchplate 32 is moved to the right, when the buttons are depressed, by the cam-pieces acting upon the edges of apertures 33, and is then restored by a spring 35, thus retaining the button in this position. Subsequent depression of another button moves the latch-plate and releases the first. Movement of the operator's key into the listening position causes a projection 37 on the plate 6 to engage a projection 38 on the latch-plate, thus moving over the latter, and releasing the buttons. A slight movement of the plate to the left after depression of a button is permitted, which moves the plate 6 sufficiently to trip the piece 9 from the grip of the spring which would otherwise retain it. The switchmechanism proper, Fig. 3, comprises inner springs 39, actuating-springs 40, and outer springs 41. The actuating-springs are normally in contact with the inner spring, but on depression of the button make contact with the outer springs. A plate 42, shaped as shown in Fig. 7, retains them in place, the springs 39 resting upon the shoulders 48, and the springs 41 upon the ends 46. A collar 50 on the wedge-piece causes it to be retained in its upper position by the spring 40, and prevents it from striking the latch-bar. The actuating-springs 61 of the operator's ringing-switch are connected with a calling-plug 65, other connexions being arranged as shown in Fig. 6. With the operator's switch in the calling position, the actuating-springs 61 make contact with the outer springs 52, putting into circuit a source 66 of alternating ringing-current. Depression of any plug puts in one of a series of sources 67 of current, each of a different character.

Title: Apparatus for Instantaneously and Automatically Decanting Gas under Pressure from a Large Vessel to a Small One without Lowering the Pressure and without Intermediate Compressor Apparatus
Inventor: GIRON PIERRE
Filed: 1906-08-16
Granted: 1907-05-02
Abstract: 18,409. Giron, P. Aug. 25, 1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Bottling.-Relates to an apparatus for decanting liquefied gas from a large receptacle into a sparklet' capsule or other small vessel without loss of gas or pressure, without the employment of an intermediate compressor, and so that the air is expelled from the capsule and prevented from entering the larger vessel during the operation. In the form shown, the decanting-apparatus is connected by a nut m to an inverted cylinder containing the liquefied gas, carbonic acid particularly, and provided with the usual pressure gauge. A receptacle e is provided with a screwed cap f containing a chamber g communicating by a small port with the atmosphere and normally closed to the receptacle e by a valve i pressed down by a handscrew j. At the lower end of the receptacle is a screwed cap n having a passage o normally closed to the receptacle by a spring-pressed valve p. A tubular prolongation r, which is cut away at s for the insertion of a capsule x, terminates in a fork t in which is journaled a cam u operated by a handle v. The operation of decanting is as follows :-The receptacle e being opened to the large vessel, any air in the connecting-pipes is compressed into the space immediately below the valve i ; the handle v is moved to withdraw a finger w, carried by a leaf spring, from the space s, and then the capsule x is inserted and pressed by means of the handle v, cam u, and carrier 3 against the base of the passage o. A further movement of the handle v opens the valve p, by means of an arm 5 actuating a lever 6 against the action of a retracting-spring 10, thereby rotating a spindle 7 carrying the valve-actuating cam 9 ; the valve of the capsule is then opened by the fluid pressure and the capsule filled, the air escaping into the space below the valve i. On a return movement of the handle, the valve p and the capsule valve close automatically and the finger w assists in releasing the capsule. The air is discharged by opening the valve i.
