Title: Bottle Filling Machines.
Inventor: STRASBURGER FRANK CHARLES HERR
IPC: B67C3/06
Filed: 1909-09-03
Granted: 1910-08-11
Abstract: 3078. Strasburger, F. C. H. Sept. 3, 1909. Bottling.-A counterpressure rotary bottling- machine, for beer or other aÙrated liquid, is arranged so that the counterpressure in the bottle is greater than the pressure in the tank, but less than the pressure in the tank plus the pressure due to the column of liquid in the filling-tube &c. The liquid thus flows into the bottle slowly and without foam. The supply of liquid from the vat &c. to the tank is regulated automatically. The filling-heads 7 are of the kind described in Specification 3077/10, and the bottle-rests &c. 10, 20 are of the kind described in Specification 20,210/09. The machine is fitted with an annular tank 4 and a central chamber 85, connected by a pipe 86 with the tank 4, and containing a high-pressure chamber 82 connected by pipes 84 with each filling- head 7. Gas at a constant pressure is supplied by a pipe 83 to the chamber 82 and passes through the tubes 84 into the bottles to establish the counterpressure. The gas also passes through a weighted valve 88 into the chamber 85 and thence by the pipe 86 into the tank 4. By this arrangement, the difference between the pressure in the tank and the pressure in the bottle is proportional to the weight of the valve 88, and this is adjusted, through the hand-hole 90, to compensate in part for the weight of the column of liquid in the filling-tube 65 &c. Liquid enters the tank 4 by pipes 5, 6 when the pressure in the tank is less than that of the liquid in the pipes 5, 6. The pressure in the tank is regulated by a float valve 91, 92, which, when the level of the liquid falls below the desired point, allows gas to escape by a pipe 94, thus reducing the tank pressure and allowing liquid to enter by the pipes 6.

Granted: 1910-08-25
Abstract: 6867. Adams Manufacturing Co., [Cutler Hammer Manufacturing Co.]. March 18. Master control systems; systems for continuous - current motors only. - Motors, for example, for operating screw-downs for rolling- mills, are connected in series for slowly moving the rolls down, and in parallel and reversed for quickly raising the rolls. The invention is described as applied to the control of two motors A, B, the fields A<1>, B', respectively, being in series with the armatures in the series connexion. In the parallel connexion, the field of each motor is in series with the armature of the other motor, one armature and one field being in each of two parallel circuits leading from the point X to the negative main. The master controller M, when moved so as to employ the left-hand segments, first causes closure of the switch 1 connecting the motors and their fields in series, and then cuts out the resistance in steps R1, R2, R3. The controller is then returned to the ` off ' position to stop the motors, and, when moved in the opposite direction, switches 3, 5 are first closed. These complete the parallel circuits between the point X and the negative main, the connexions for the armature of one motor and the field of the other being reversed.

Abstract: 20,884. Brown, E. W., Soul, J. S., and King, H. Sept. 7. Plates and the like, travelling.- Intermittentlydisplayed sheets are twice invertea and twice transferred to the front of the case for each display; the sheets are transferred in pairs, those of each pair changing their relative outer and inner positions in the course of the double transference, and a space is left behind the exposed sheet to permit its illumination from behind. Motordriven sprockets e<1>, Figs. 2 and 3, operate chains d, each bearing twu relatively close fingers f<1>, f<2>, of which the first f<1> raises the rod c of the hindmost sheet b' from a guide a, while the second f<2> a little later raises the rod c of the next sheet b<2>. The finger f<1> carries its rod over a sprocket e<2> and drops it on to a lever j, which turns and closes the guide-way a, whereby the rod c comes to rest while the sheet b<1> is inverted by being fed forward by the motor-driven friction roller g, against which it is pressed by a loosely pivoted roller. The rod on the finger f<2> slips behind the lever j into the guideway a, and a pin p on the chain d strikes a timing-switch q<1> over, and stops the driving-motor. The momentum of the mechanism causes the pin p to strike the lever r and close the lighting-switch t, u. When the timing-switch q<1> has started the motor again, the pin p strikes the lever t and breaks the lighting-circuit. The finger f<2> travels downwards and strikes the lever k, thereby rotating the lever j so as to permit the rod c of the leaf b' to enter the guideway a. If exposure is effected on the reverse side of the case, the advertisements are withdrawn upwards from view, and the chains are diverted by jockey sprocket-wheels to pick up the rods from diverted guides, which provide a space for illumination behind the exposed sheet.

Granted: 1911-03-23
Abstract: 26,959. Hesseln, W. J. Feb. 11, [Convention date]. Arrangement; gas collectors; electrolytes.-In a primary battery having a carbon electrode b acting as a diaphragm, one or more tubes f or the like dipping into the depolarizing liquid form chambers which receive the warm gases and vapours evolved, a pressure being set up which assists diffusion of the depolarizer through the carbon b and varies according to the current. Porous material may be placed against the carbon to increase the effect, as described below, and the arrangement may be modified so that the depolarizer is outside the carbon. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the gases collect between the carbon b and the tube f, which may be of glass, vulcanite, or the like, and force the depolarizer up the central space. Excess of gas after passing through the depolarizer escapes through a perforated stopper e. When action ceases, the outer electrolyte is drawn into the pores of the carbon and prevents diffusion of the depolarizer during rest. In a modification, the tube f extends to the bottom of the carbon b and is perforated or porous at its lower end, the bottom of the carbon being made impervious, if necessary, by paraffin, varnish, or the like. Porous material such as asbestos or glass wool is rammed between the carbon b and the tube f, and when saturated hinders the gases from escaping upwards, causing them to pass through the perforated part of the tube f to the central space, where they collect, the gas exit holes being arranged, in this form, between the carbon b and the tube f. The porous layer keeps saturated while almost any depolarizer remains, rendering the diffusion uniform over the surface of the carbon, and enabling the depolarizer to be renewed without stopping. Porous material may also be placed inside the tube f, all parts within the carbon being removable, but filling is more difficult. Weak or concentrated depolarizers, such as nitric acid which may contain. oxidizing salts, may be used with ordinary electrolytes such as solutions of ammonium chloride, salt, sodium or potassium hydrate, or sulphuric or hydrochloric acid. A little nitric or hydrochloric acid or the like is added to depolarizers giving little gas. A zinc, iron, aluminium, or other metal electrode c may be used. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) comprises also tubes f of earthenware or carbon, and a porous layer of glass powder or carbon; this subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.
