Inventor: MAURER ELISE
IPC: A47L15/33
Filed: 1912-09-04
Granted: 1913-02-20
Abstract: 20,150. Maurer, E. March 16, [Convention date]. Plates, dishes, and the like, washing.-In machines for washing plates, dishes, &c., in which the articles are traversed through a washing-tank by a screw conveyer and are cleaned during transit by brushes arranged upon the conveyer, a skeleton conveyer is used which permits water from the tank to pass readily between the. convolutions, and the conveyer is fitted with a perforated peripheral casing which, by frictional contact, rotates the articles in the same direction as the conveyer. Fig. 2 shows a machine in which the conveyer is formed of three concentric spiral stays connected by radial spokes 5 preferably formed of wire. Brushes 11 are mounted on radial bars extending between adjacent stays. The conveyer is mounted on a shaft rotated by a crank handle and is enclosed in a casing the upper half of which is removable while the lower half is fixed in the washing-tank and has a portion 28 cut away to admit water. The tank is provided with an overflow pipe 29 and a sloping base leading to the waste-pipe 30. In operation, the articles are introduced singly through an opening 18 at one end of the machine by means of an inclined feed-shoot having an automatically-operated movable ledge at the lower end. This ledge, which is formed by a plate sliding in inclined guides 22, is maintained by a cam 24 in a raised position so that the article on the shoot cannot enter the conveyer, except at one period during each revolution when the plate is lowered by the springs 23. After admission, the articles fall into the position shown in dotted lines, and are rotated by engagement with the perforated casing 6 while being traversed along the screw and engaged by the series of brushes. After traversing the entire length of the screw, the articles are raised in turn by a pin 32 on a radial arm and delivered through a peripheral opening to a second conveyer 17 which takes them back to the entering end of the machine and finally tilts them over a ledge 36 on to an horizontal table in proximity to the feed-shoot so that a single operator can deliver the soiled crockery to and remove the clean crockery from the machine. During the movement along the conveyer 17, the articles are retained thereon by a bar 34 and pass under rinsing-jets 27 of boiling water.

Granted: 1913-10-01
Abstract: 22,303. Mechanical Process Manufacturing Co., and Corl, R. M. Oct. 1. Forming vials &c. from tubular blanks; forming electric-lamp bulbs.-Relates to apparatus for producing electric lamp bulbs, small bottles, &c. from short tubular blanks. Several complete operating-mechanisms are arranged along a continuous track 6 upon which run continuously carriages supporting holders and moulds for shaping the ware. The blanks 1 are fed from a rotary supply device 3 to holders 97, Fig. 17, which grip the ends of the blank and carry it to a heating-device 17, Fig. 1, where it is heated in the middle and severed so as to form two closed tubes. The lower holder 97 is then inverted by the action of a cam track 66, Fig. 15, and the upper and lower blanks are enclosed in blowing-moulds 25, Fig. 15. As the carriage bearing the moulds &c. advances, air is admitted to blow the blanks, which are meanwhile rotated at a varying speed in the moulds by friction-disk apparatus 68, 37, 43. The necks of the ware are fire-finished by burners 79, Fig. 1, mounted on bands 77, which travel in unison with the blanks being heated. The air supply for blowing the ware is controlled by a device which varies the supply in accordance with the speed at which the machine is driven. Instead of employing ordinary divided moulds, a series of rotating plates may be used to shape the ware during blowing. In forming electric-lamp bulbs, the travelling moulds 25 may be replaced by a set of stationary formers 132, Fig. 14, between which the double blank is passed longitudinally during the blowing and rotating operation. Two bulbs, united by a short tube, are thus formed. Moulds may in some cases be entirely dispensed with; and the articles shaped by the action of blowpipes only.
