Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Sealing and Capping Bottles, Jars or the like.
Inventor: BOND SAMUEL CANEDO
Filed: 1908-09-15
Granted: 1909-02-25
Abstract: 19,394. Bond, S. C. Oct. 11, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Capsuling.-In a machine for applying sealing- caps to bottles, the bottle and the capping-head are moved relatively and the cap is applied by force exerted peripherally on its flange without any pressure being applied to the top of the cap, and no compensating devices are used. The capapplying means consists of V-shaped fingers 14 pivotally supported, in one form, by rings 15, Fig. 2, in a grooved block 12, which is held in place in the capping-head by an annular plug 13. The fingers are all retained in normal position and all caused to act simultaneously and to the same extent, by a sleeve 16 which normally rests on a shoulder 18 of the block 12 and is adapted to move freely in the sheel 11 of the capping-head. In operation, the caps are first engaged by the corners x of the fingers 14, and when the cap is arrested by the bottle, the fingers are shifted upwardly, the points x moving inwards, until the portions y of the fingers, bear against the side wall of the cap above the flange. The fingers are then locked, and during the continued downward movement of the capping-head the flange of the cap is wiped towards, but not close against, the neck of the bottle, for no part of the fingers passes under the head and so room is always left for an uncapping- tool. The downward pull on the cap is continued until the flange breaks down, when the fingers drop back to normal position and entirely out of contact with the cap. In the above form of the invention, the caps are fed to the capping-head through a slot 19, Fig. 2, when they will rest on the edges 20 of the plug 13 until engaged by the bottle, or, the plug may be provided with spring catches to retain the caps. In a modification, Fig. 5, the fingers 14 have a pivotal bearing on a shoulder 22 of the plug 13 and are retained in normal position by an annular weight 24 with a depending flange 25. In this form, the corners x of the fingers form a yielding ring adopted to hold a cap until engaged by the bottle.

Abstract: 21,294. Alley, S. Oct. 8. [Cognate Application No. 25,496, A.D. 1908, dated Dec. 1.] Tyres, pneumatic.-Relates to tyre levers of the kind comprising a lever handle a, Fig. 1, carrying a cross-bar provided at one end with a tyreremoving tool c and at the other a replacing-tool d, the lever being adapted to rotate round the hub of the wheel, and consists mainly in the provision of a recess s to retain the outer edge of the tyre while the inner edge is being replaced by means of the roller h. The tyre edge is led up to the replacing-roller by means of an inclined plane i, Fig. 6, provided with rollers i<2> and is kept on the rollers by the flange i<3>, or which may be substituted a vertical roller or a loose ring round the lever handle a. The cross-bar carrying the removing- and replacing-tools may be adjustably fixed on the handle a by means of a pin e and holes, or it may be loosely mounted and selfadjusting under the action of supplementary rollers as in Fig. 9. On the side of the removing- tool, a roller m runs on the inside of the rim and a roller n on the outside, while the tyre edge is pressed free of the rim by a roller o in advance of the removing-tool c ; the replacing-tool h is kept in its operative position by the co-operation of the rollers p. The lever handle a carries at one end a T-head k, Fig. 1, which is provided with a screw pin at one end so that, when the head rests upon the ground and the wheel is rotated, the handle may be set at any convenient angle across the wheel. A detachable rod, which may be in the form of an ordinary tyre lever, telescopes into the handle a and carries a shoulder j<1>, Fig. 5, adapted to seat on the hub and rotatably secured thereto by the strap j. When the wheel has no hub projection, a false hub r, Fig. 14, is provided for the seating of the shoulder j<1> and is secured to the wheel by clips r' taking between the spokes. For spare rims, the false hub may be carried by a screw adapted to bring together the jointed ends of toggle-levers, to the outer ends of which are attached shoes gripping the inside of the rim. The stop-levers for retaining the edge of the cover in position during the process of replacing have forked ends carrying rubber caps provided with eccentric heads so as to fit varying sizes of wheels. According to the Provisional Specification, the tyre lever may be combined with a sliding strut to press back the edge of the tyre for inspection of the inner tube.

Granted: 1911-05-18
Abstract: 12,761. Kastner, M. M., and Katz, C. May 25. Actions; expression, controlling; tracker-bars; tune-sheets.-In piano-players of the kind in which throttle valves are provided for the striking-pneumatics, the throttle valves 8 are arranged concentrically with the 'action valves 2, and are operated by annular diaphragms 14 or electro-magnets controlled either manually by devices of the kind described in Specification 763/10 or by special tune-sheet apertures. As shown in Fig. 1, each throttle valve 8 normally closes the ports 12. When air is admitted by the tune-sheet to the diaphragm 4 to operate the action valve 2, the striking-pneumatic is only connected to the exhaust chest 3 through a small port in the plate 11. Assuming the control is manual, when it is desired to accentuate a note, the aperture of the duct 15 is closed, so that it becomes exhausted through the bleed-hole 16. The diaphragm 14 collapses, and the valve 8 opens the ports 12, causing a louder note to be sounded when the action valve 2 is operated. Parallel rows of additional ducts may be provided in the tracker-bar to control the valves 8 through intermediate valves controlling the admission of air to the ducts 15. Several of these ducts are in aline ment in the direction of the tune-sheet travel, and each controls either one or several throttlevalves. In order to prevent notes from being accentuated when it is not desired to accentuate them, the distance between the first and last ducts is less than the length of the shortest tune-sheet aperture, or is greater than the length of the shortest aperture, but less than twice the length of the shortest aperture. The control perforations in the tune-sheet are somewhat in advance of the corresponding playing- perforations. When the control is effected manually, a red dot is marked in front of each tune-sheet aperture corresponding to a note which is to be accentuated.
