Title: Improvements in Cigarette Tipping Machines.
Inventor: DRUCKLIEB JULIUS CARL
IPC: A24C5/58
Filed: 1910-06-14
Granted: 1911-01-19
Abstract: 14,375. Drucklieb, J. C., and Simon, C. Feb. 12, [Convention date]. Cigarette-tipping machines. -In a cigarette-tipping machine, the cigarettes in the hopper 2, Fig. 5, are fed on to a lifter 23, which presents them one at a time to a conveyer. A cut-off 19 operated in the upward direction by the rod 29 attached to the lifter and in the downward direction by gravity, and agitating-plates 33 serrated at 40 and operated by cams, prevent the cigarette from clogging the exit of the hopper. The conveyer consists of two sets of rails 41, 43, the latter of which is movable by means of the cams 47, 48 with a rectangular motion so that the cigarettes are advanced step by step to the tipping - mechanism. Should the lifter carry more than one cigarette, the surplus cigarettes would be removed by a plate 57, which is tripped by a projection 59 on the movable rail. If any one of the cigarettes requires turning, this is accomplished by the attendant, by depressing a rod, thereby causing the projection 67 to be tripped by the pins 68 and operating the rod 66 to turn over the cigarette in the jaws 60. The cigarette, on leaving the conveyer, is held slightly above the belt 118, Fig. 8, by the upper knife 111 and the member 73; the cork web is then fed intermittently past the pasting-wheel 82 on to a plate 85 below the cigarette end, where it is severed by the knives 111, 109. The cigarette is then pressed down by the presser 90, Fig. 5, between guides 91; and the continuously-moving belt 118 carries the cigarette and cork tip through the folding- tube. This tube 136, Fig. 11, is provided with folding-plates 138, 139 whereby each edge of the cork web is folded down, and the seam is then ironed by a projection carried by the plate 143. The finished cigarettes are discharged by means of a shoot into a suitable receptacle.

Title: Improvements in Flying Machines.
Inventor: BENOIS NICHOLAS DE
IPC: B64C1/00
Filed: 1910-12-28
Granted: 1911-12-21
Abstract: 30,139. Benois, N. de. Dec. 28. Steering and balancing.-Longitudinal balance of flying-machines is obtained by connecting the elevator to a pivoted regulating vane or plane, the action of the head-wind upon which is counterbalanced by a spring or weight, so that, when the speed of the machine varies owing to a rise or dip of the front end, the regulating-plane is moved from its normal position and automatically adjusts the elevator so as to counteract the rise or dip, and lateral balance is obtained by providing each of a pair of balancing-planes, arranged at the ends of the main plane, with such a regulating - plane. Fig. 1 shows a machine having the elevator C, D connected by rods H to a lever I, which carries a regulating-plane E, F. Fig. 2, set more or less perpendicnlar to the head-wind, and is controlled by a spring g. The plane E, F may consist of two portions l, m, which may be adjusted in area so as to alter the normal incidence of the elevator, by Bowden gear O and a lever K, N. In a modification, the plane E, F is attached directly to the elevator. In the form shown in Fig. 7, the plane E, F is arranged to act also as a supporting-plane, and is connected bv a lever 2 and links 4 to the machine so as to move bodily in a vertical direction under the influence of the head-wind and a spring G. As shown in Fig. 7, the arms P, R, that connect the cables H to the elevator, may be mounted loosely on the elevator shaft and be connected thereto by other cables H<1>, H<2>, which serve for manual adjustment of the elevator by means of a lever K. In a modification of the form shown in Fig. 7, the plane E, F is arranged at the front of the machine and connected by crossed cables to a tail elevator. The incidence of the tail is then adjusted by manually altering the incidence of the plane E, F, which thereupon moves vertically under the action of the head-wind and spring.

Title: Improvements relating to Automatic Weighing Appliances for Hat Forming Machines.
Inventor: HAFEMANN LOUIS
IPC: G01G19/00
Filed: 1911-05-05
Granted: 1912-05-06
Abstract: 10,888. Hafemann, L. May 5. Automatic-feed weighers.-Relates to feeding and weighing apparatus for hat-forming machines of the type described in Specifications 2577/99 and 970/01, and consists in the inclusion in a feed - controlling electric circuit, closed by the sinking of the scale pan, of a switch which opens the circuit as a clutch moves to stop the feeding-apron. The feeding-apron A, Fig. 1, is driven through a clutch H, which is uncoupled by the outward movement of a handle L under the influence of a spring or weight. When the requisite amount of fur has entered the scale pan C, this descends and closes an electrical contact J, thus energizing an electromagnet K and releasing the handle L. The clutch is then uncoupled, and the feeding-apron stopped. The movement of the handle L to uncouple the clutch opens a, switch S, and thereby breaks the circuit through the contacts J. A rotating arm N then closes contacts O, O<1> and an electro-magnetic latch M releases the bottom of the pan and the fur is discharged. The bottom of the pan is latched again under the influence of a counterweight, and a rotating member N<2> pushes in the handle L, thus reengaging the clutch and starting the feeding- apron. The closing of the electrical contact J energizes an electro-magnet device P and releases a flap Q which then assumes an inclined position, and deflects from the pan any further fall of fur after equilibrium. The flap is reset by a pin on the arm N.
