Patent GB-190407251-A (GB)
Title: A Machine or Apparatus for Packing into Bags, Packages Tins, or other Receptacles, Powdered, Pulverized, or Ground Substances, and Materials of a like Nature
Inventor: TURNER FRANCIS
Filed: 1904-03-26
Granted: 1905-02-09
Abstract: 7251. Turner, F. March 26. Packeting and filling flour &c.-Relates to a machine for packeting or filling wheat, pea, rice, or maize flour, shredded wheat, and the like into bags, tins, &c. The bag to be filled is placed on the table 10, Fig. 1, and its mouth is gripped between the tube 6 and the pieces 6<a>, which are operated, against the action of springs by a rotary cam-disc 20, Figs. 9 and 10. This cam-disc is oscillated by a pin on the sliding rod 21 driven from the treadle-rod 8. The continued motion of the treadle 9, Fig. 1, lowers the plunger 4, and presses the flour &c. into the bag, the table 10 descending against the action of the weight 15. When the treadle 9 is allowed to rise, the grippers 6<a> release the bag, and more flour passes beneath the plunger 4 from the hopper 1 which has the form of a truncated pyramid. Fig. 9 shows an arrangement by means of which the table 10 is automatically tilted to discharge the bag after it has been filled. As the rod 8 nears its upward limit, the adjustable piece 38 strikes the lever 37 and thus raises the sliding bar 35. The piece 39 then strikes the slanting face 31<a> of the piece 31, and disengages the finger 31‹ from the fixed projection 29<a>. The further motion of the bar 35 tilts the table 10 against the action of the spring 32. The plunger 4, Fig. 1, may have an enlarged head 4<a> which may be either fixed or pivoted in the manner shown in Fig. 5. In the latter case, as the rod 4<c> is raised, it first tilts the head 4<a>, the pin 4<d> travelling in the slot 4<e>. The stuffing-box 3<a>, Fig. 1, is made to grip the part 4<f> tightly, to ensure the tilting of the head 4<a>. A valve 40. Fig. 4, actuated by a projection 43 on the rod 8, may be used to keep the material in position while the bags are being changed, or the column of material may be merely cut through by a number of wires 20<b>, Fig. 9, or a coarse grating, secured to a cylindrical extension 20<a> of the cam ring 20. Instead of connecting the weight 15, Fig. 1, to the table 10 by levers, it may be attached by cords running over pulleys. To prevent a bag from bursting, a metal case may be placed outside the bag, with its mouth under the grippers 6<a>. A number of plungers may be actuated by a single operating-mechanism.

Abstract: 17,854. Sharratt, H., and Sharratt, A. Aug. 17. Kilns.-Relates to kilns, ovens, and the like of the continuous class for drying and burning bricks, and consists in the employment of a main air pipe which makes a complete circuit of all the chambers, and is provided with connections and dampers by means of which it may be put in communication with, or isolated from, any chamber for the purpose of conveying the waste heat from one or more cooling-chambers to one or more drying- chambers. Fig. 1 is a sectional plan of the kiln showing the arrangement of the pipes, and Fig. 2 is a cross-section of the kiln. It is provided with the ordinary longitudinal flue b, but a main pipe d makes a circuit of all the chambers, and by means of removable bends g may be connected with branch pipes f, which communicate with feedholes e and vertical pipes h leading to flues c beneath the gratings i. The latter form the floors of the chambers. The Figure shows chambers 1, 2 which are being emptied and a chamber 14 which is totally empty connected by a bend g to the pipe d. Atmospheric air enters beneath the floor of these chambers and mixes with the warm air within, after which it enters and passes through the pipe d to drying-chambers 8, 9, 10 which are also similarly connected to the pipe d. Any part of the pipe d may be isolated by inserting dampers k.

Filed: 1905-03-16
Granted: 1905-04-06
Abstract: 5564. Johnson, J. Y., [Badische Anilin & Soda Fabrik]. March 16. Phenylglycine is separated from the products of reaction of chloracetic acid and aniline by converting it into its anilide, separating this anilide, and saponifying it with caustic soda. In practice, excess of aniline is used, and the reaction mass is distilled preferably in vacuo to remove water. The mass is then made alkaline, and is steamdistilled to remove excess of aniline. The anilide which separates out from the residual liquid on cooling is filtered off and washed with cold water, It is then saponified by heating with caustic alkali.

If desired, a similar series of cylinders is used for perfecting. After being printed, the web is fed past guide-rollers o, and may be cut or perforated between rolls k, l, before being delivered in sheets to a table m, or wound on a roll z<1> driven frictionally through a chain z<4>. One or more blades s, Fig. 3, are mounted in slots in the lower cutting- roll l. Each blade is held in the slot by springs s<2>, except at the moment of cutting, when it is pressed out by cams u sliding in guides v, and set in position to actuate the knife-blade by projections at suitable intervals on chains v<1> at each side of the machine. The position of the chain guidepulleys w is adjustable so that variable length of chain may be used, thereby cutting any desired length of paper sheets. A flat blade y is carried by each knife-blade s, and serves to hold the paper against the edge of one of the slots k<2> in the upper roll k while the blade s cuts off the sheet. The blade y is held to the blade s by a pin and slot and a blade spring.

Title: Improvements in Ball Valves.
Inventor: BEALE THOMAS HERBERT
Filed: 1907-07-15
Granted: 1908-03-05
Abstract: 16,248. Beale, T. H., and Winsborough, F. July 15. Ball and float valves.-Ball valves are made selfsealing when closed, leakage into the ball being prevented by the pressure on the valve, when closed, causing the ball to float with the joint above the surface of the water. The valve is formed in two parts a, b connected together by the engagement of a projection d and lever h on one part with a lug e and hook j respectively on the other part. The lever k which carries the ball is pivoted at m and actuates the slide l, to which is connected the concave valve o. A cap p provided with holes r encloses the valve o and seating o'. When the ball has risen sufficiently to allow the valve o to engage with its seat o', the pressure of the water acts upon the outer end of the valve and tends to keep it closed. The pressure also tends to push the slide l farther out, thus raising the ball so that its joint is above the surface of the water.
