In making paper bags, the blankis placed by hand over and beneath a block E, Fig. 4, hinged to an endless travelling belt D, at the left-hand end of the machine. The belt, moving to the right, p sses with the block and its blank into a groove D<2>, Fig. 3, in the framework, and the block, on coming into contact with and raising the lever Q, Figs. 1 and 5; operates the creasing-mechanism. This consists of rods U, R situated cn either side of the block E and pivotally connected together by links S pivoted at the points a to the framework. The rods U are connected together by a rod R<1>, to which is attached the operating-lever Q. When the block strikes the lever, the rods R crease the sides of the blank down over the sides of the block E, leaving a corner-piece on either side of the leading end of the blank under formation to be folded against the block by means of fixed pieces c, situated, in the bed of the machine and curved towards the block in the direction of motion. The block then passes beneath a lever y pivoted at z to the framework, and raises through the cross-bars x the levers w situated on either side of the block directly beneath the unfolded bottom flaps of the blank, thus pressing the flaps against the gumming or pasting wheel H fed from the receptacle J and evenly distributed by means of friction wheels. The bottom flap which is thus gummed is raised by the curved pieces M<4> and made to adhere to the previously overturned side flaps. Finally, the packet on the block is passed between pressing- wheels I, during which time the paste or gum dries sufficiently to allow the bag or packet to be removed.

Abstract: 26,465. Millea, T. D. Nov. 30. Lift valves; ball and float valves; seats; casings. -A float-operated valve is constructed, as shown in Fig. 1, with the valve seat 16 at the top of a tube 15, which is screwed into and extends upwards through the shank 2 of the casing by which the valve is secured to the bottom or side of the vessel by a nut 7 with interposed washers 8. The seat 16 may be screwed to the tube 15 or may be formed integral therewith. The tube 15 is screwed at 26 to receive the coupling-nut 53 which secures the inlet pipe 52 ; the end of the tube however is tapered internally to enable a conical ground-joint connexion to be made. The tube 15 and the seat 16 may be lined with fibre &c., or they may be made entirely of fibre &c. to resist the action of acids &c. The valve proper comprises a stem 30 fitted with a thimble 31 which secures, by means of its flange 32, one or more rubber valve disks 27 against the rounded end of the stem. When one valve disk is worn, it is removed so as to expose a fresh one. The float lever is carried by a bracket 33 mounted on the casing and adjustably secured by a screw 36 engaging in a groove 35. The valve is engaged by the forked end 40 of the lever so that the valve is free to rotate, thereby equalizing the wear on the valve. A stop 42 limits the downward movement of the float lever. Adjustable means for altering the length of the lever and the angular position of the float comprises a disk' 44, Figs. 1 and 9, and a disk 45, the latter having an adjustable holder 46, 51 for the rod 43. The disk 45 is serrated and the disk 44 has a single tooth, so that the two parts may be secured in any relative angular position. The valve discharges through an opening 19 in the outlet 17. A hole 20 is provided to receive a refill tube 21, Fig. 4, when required ; when this pipe is not used, the opening 20 is closed by a screw plug 22. In order that the valve may be connected to the top of a vessel, a bracket is provided in which the shank 2 of the valve is placed and secured by a nut ; the knife-edge projections 14 on the shank are then engaged in notches in the bracket to prevent the casing from turning. The bracket is secured to the top edge of the wall of the vessel. In connecting the inlet pipe 52 to the valve, additional coupling-members 55, Fig. 11, are used ; these are screwed internally to fit the outer end of the tube 15 and externally to fit the coupling-nut 53 of the pipe 52. The joints may be made by washers 54 or by conical ground joints. In a modification, the upper part of the tube 15 is dispensed with, the valve seat being screwed into the valve casing. In another modfication, the tube 15 is entirely omitted, the casing being extended downwards and reduced to receive a coupling connexion similar to that shown in Fig. 11. The valve seat can be removed through the top of the valve casing when the valve stem 30 has been removed, or the tube 15 may be removed at the opposite end 2 to obtain access to the valve seat.
