Title: Machines for Forming and Wrapping Confections and other Articles.
Inventor: ALLISON CHARLES ARTHUR
Filed: 1907-03-26
Granted: 1907-09-26
Abstract: 7209. Allison, C. A., [Standard Candy Machine Co.]. March 26. Moulding confectionery.-Candy is worked down from the batch in a special device shown in Fig. 49, and is rolled down and sized before being wrapped up. The reducing - device consists of four sections in pairs 363, 364, the sections 364 being flexible and fitting inside the rigid sections 363. The device slopes so that the candy descends by gravity. Four shafts 369, connected together by bevel - gearing 370, surround the device, one of them being connected by links 384, 385 to a crank 48 on the main shaft 2. The shafts are thus rocked ; as each is attached by an arm 371 to a slotted lug 372 on one of the sections, these move in and out and work the candy down, the resilience of the sections 364 always ensuring a tight fit. The sections 364 are supported at their lower ends by toggle-arms 377 pivoted to strips 375, which strengthen the sections, and to arms 380 forming extensions of the sections 363. These toggle-arms may be carried by arms 365 pivoted to the frame ; and, in order to guide the sections 364 in their reciprocation. they may have projecting slides moving in guideways 382 on a fixed support 381. The candy stream passing through the rollers 13, 14, 15, Fig. 1. is reduced by each pair, bevel-gearing 25. 26, 27, 28, 29, 30 being so arranged that the roller pairs are driven progressively faster. The candy passes between the pairs in guideways forming a sloping trough and the rollers are preferably toothed, as shown, to grip the stream. Passing along a guideway 33, the stream comes to guides 49 which direct it between the forming-rollers 36, which are supported in a pivoted frame 34 and intermittently driven by pawl-and-ratchet mechanism. Descending through the tube 50, the intermittently-moving stream is cut into pieces by the disk cutter 52, which moves eccentrically in the head 69 and also rotates on its own axis in the other direction, being driven for that purpose by gearing 71, 73. The pieces are then hardened and passed between sizing- rolls before being wrapped up.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Automatic Shuttle-changing Looms for Weaving.
Inventor: LEMARCHAND MAURICE
Filed: 1907-06-13
Granted: 1908-06-15
Abstract: 13,735. Lemarchand, M., Lemarchand, R., and Montet, V. June 13. Loom shuttle-changing mechanism.-Loom shuttlechanging mechanism of the drop-box type is adapted to be applied to ordinary looms such as for checks, the shuttle magazine 1, Fig. 2, being placed in the part usually occupied by the pattern cards and the double shuttle box 4 being placed in the frame 5 of the usual multiple shuttle box in an interchangeable manner. When the weft fails, a rod 8 is pushed off a supporting-notch and allows a lever 14, reciprocated by a cam 15, to fall into gear with and give a complete oscillation, to and fro, to a gear 26 ; the lever 14 is then raised and lifts the rod 8 back on to its notch. The gear 26 drives a gear on a shaft 20 carrying two eccentrics, one of which raises the shuttle box 4, normally in the position shown in Fig. 7, into the position shown in Fig. 2. By lever mechanism 48, 47 another eccentric moves a stirrup 44, Fig. 5, to the right and, by means of pinions 43 gearing with racks 41, 42 on the drawer-shaped pusher 38 and on the shuttle-supporting plate 35, the pusher is reciprocated and the lowest shuttle is removed from the magazine and carried with the plate 35 to the right. On the beat-up, the flangeless bottom 49 of the double shuttle box moves the plate 35 to the left, and through the gearing 42, 43, 41 moves the pusher plate farther to the right. The shuttle is thereby placed in the upper chamber 50, where it is then held by a spring- pressed recessed lid 51, which is released from a recessed hook 53, Fig. 7, connected to the movable tongue or swell 54, by the shuttle striking the swell. A spring 40 returns the pusher and plate to their normal relative positions. The spent shuttle is shot into the lower chamber 56 between the narrow supporting-flange 57 and the flange 60 of a catchplate 59 on the lay, and, on the back motion of the lay, it falls into a receptacle. The shuttle box 4 then moves downwards into its normal position ; the lid is raised by rods 55 bearing on screws 61, so that the shuttle can be picked in the ordinary way, the pusher 38 being also returned to normal position.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Apparatus for Operating Railway and like Points and Switches.
Filed: 1907-08-02
Granted: 1907-12-05
Abstract: 17,699. Kershaw, A. G., and Saxby & Farmer. Aug. 2. Points and switches.-Relates particularly to the class of shunting-levers in which means are provided to ensure the complete movement of the points, and consists in a construction of this class in which the operating hand-lever automatically returns to its normal vertical position when released and is not moved when the points are trailed through. A weighted lever 3 pivoted at 2 to the casting 1 carries another lever or link 5 and the hand-lever 19. The upper end of the link 5 is connected through the link 6 and bell-crank lever 7 to the points, and its lower end carries a friction roller 10 adapted to roll on the path 11. Shaped lugs 17, 18 are formed on the lever 5 with which the lever 19 engages. The hand-lever is connected at its lower end to the weighted lever 23 for the purpose of automatically returning it to a central vertical position when released. When the handlever is pulled to the right or left, the lever 5 is rotated thus moving the points and causing the roller 10 to travel up the path 11 and raise the weighted lever 3. Upon the roller passing over the raised centre portion of the path, the weighted lever ensures the completion of the movement. Fig. 4 shows a modified form of roller path 11 which automatically returns the points to their initial position when the lever 19 is released. Owing to the hand-lever being normally in a vertical position, it is not moved when the points are trailed through.
