The lever E, which actuates the spindle A' of the bottlerest A to raise the bottle C to the filling-head D, is connected by a pin and slot E<5>, F<2> to the link F actuated by the cam F<4>. The operative movement is transmitted to the lever E through the spring G<2> and the casing G surrounding the lower end of the link, the casing bearing on the end of the lever, or preferably on antifriction rollers on the ends of the joint pin E<5>. The bottle is thus held against the filling- head by the action of the spring G<2>, which also provides for any variation in the height of the bottles. In case a bottle is omitted, the rest A rises beyond its normal limit, and the adjustable stop A<4> on the rest acts, through the rod J and bellcrank lever J<2>, on the levers J<3> which operate the filling and syrup valves, displacing these levers laterally clear of their operating-cams on the shaft I, and so avoiding waste The levers J<3> are mounted on the same spindle J<4>, and are restored to their operative positions by a spring on this spindle. The corking-plunger is preferably made in two parts L, L<1> screwed together to provide adjustment for corks of different lengths. The plunger is mounted in guides L<2>, and is actuated by the lever M, preferably acting on an antifriction roller L<4>. The lever M is connected by a bifurcated link N' to two levers 0, actuated by cams P<1> on the toothed wheels P, through which motion is transmitted from the driving-shaft P to the cam shaft I. The cork-feeding box R, Fig. 5, is carried by a spindle R<1> mounted in a bracket R<2>, so that the box can be turned upwards out of the way. The base T on which the box reciprocates is provided with a projection or stop T<1> lying within the box. The cork is inserted in the box R, and is carried, by the movement of the box, up to the stop T', where it is held over the corking- cone, in position to be inserted by the plunger. The box R is moved in the feeding direction by the spring S<5> on the cam-operated lever S engaging the head of the spindle R<1>, and is returned by the spring R<5> acting on the lever through the loose collar R'.

Title: The Manufacture of New Dyestuffs of the Acridine Group.
Inventor: RANSFORD ROBERT BOLTON
Filed: 1901-07-24
Granted: 1902-05-29
Abstract: 15,064. Ransford, R. B., [Cassella & Co., L.]. July 24. Dyes, artificial.-New acridine dyes are produced by the simultaneous action of formaldehyde and meta-diamines on acridine dyes, such as acridineyellow or benzo-flavine. The new products yield intenser shades verging on orange, are faster to alkalies and light, and are more basic, and therefore more soluble and possessed of greater affinity for cotton mordanted with tannin or for leather. An example is given in which acridine-yellow suspended in hydrochloric acid is heated with formaldehyde and m-toluylenediamine at the boiling point for 36 hours while a current of air is introduced, and the product is then salted out. In another example, the acridine-yellow is produced and converted into the new dye at one operation, m-toluylenediamine being heated with hydrochloric acid and formaldehyde for 6 hours, and ferric chloride being then added, and the heating continued for 36 hours whilst a current of air is passed through the solution.

Fig. 1 shows a side elevation of the machine, and Figs. 4 and 9 some of the details on an enlarged scale. The tobaccocarrying band s passes over the roller X, and is wound off the drum q, provided with large flanges r, on to the roller y, which is intermittently rotated by means of the pawl 7 and toothed wheel 2. The inclined board u, pivoted at v, is held up against the drum q by the spring w. The mould b is fixed, and the mould c is moved to and fro by a system of levers arranged below the baseplate a, and comprising a lever e, Figs. 1 and 4, pivoted at d, and carrying a pin g moving in the slot k of the lever h pivoted at i, and connected to the mould c by a rod attached to the pin m. The connecting-rod 27 operates the elbow lever 25, pivoted at 26, and connected by a cord 23 to the link 14, Figs. 1 and 8, which turns pins 15 and carries the frame 13 of the spiing-held sliding ram 12. The rod 18 secured to the ram 12, is provided with adjusting and lock nuts 19 to adjust the position of the ram relatively to the knife 17 fixed on the frame 13. On moving the lever e to the left, Fig. 4, the mould c is brought towards the mould b, the cord 23 is slackened, and the link 14 is slowly raised by the springs 21, while, at first, the spring-held ram 12 remains in its lowermost position. During the forward movement of the mould c, the pawl 28 engages the tooth 29 and moves forwards the rod 30, 6, against the pull of the spring 36 ; the pawl 7 engages the wheel 2, and the brake 39 carried on the rod 38 is removed from the flange r. When the link 14 reaches its uppermost position, the spring 33, released from the pressure transmitted to it by the sliding pin 34, rises and, acting on the projection 32, lifts the pawl 28 out of engagement with the tooth 29. The rod 30, 6 is now pulled back by the spring 36, causing the pawl 7 to turn the wheel 2 and wind up a portion of the band s. The additional tobacco thus delivered on the table 9 pushes forwards some to fall into the space between the tables 9 and 10. On moving the lever e back to the left, Fig. 4, the mould c is withdrawn from the mould b, the cord 23 is tightened, and the link 13 is brought down, and with it the ram 12 and cutter 17. The spring 42 is pressed on the tobacco lying on the table, while the ram 12 presses the tobacco in the slit 11 down between the moulds b, c. At the same time the cutter 17 severs this portion from the rest. The plate 5, fastened to the rod 6, rests upon the portion of the band s wound on the roller y, and is provided with a hole through which passes the rod 3 carrying the pawl 7, so that equal portions of the band s are wound up for each movement of the rod 6.
