Title: Improvements in Stringing Devices for Making Confections.
Inventor: PAGE FRANK HERBERT
IPC: A23G3/28
Filed: 1909-06-24
Granted: 1910-03-24
Abstract: 14,818. Page, F. H., and Kihlgren, T. June 24. Coating confectioners' goods.-A stringing or coating machine for chocolate and like confections is provided with means for preventing clogging of the delivery orifice, for ensuring that the chocolate or the like shall fall in a straight line, and for reciprocating or oscillating the machine so that various figures may be formed on the creams. The delivery device comprises a jacketed pan a, Fig. 1, with a bottom plate e, in which is a conical aperture f fitted with a coned screw spindle r, which is provided with grooves v to break up any obstruction. On the upper end of the shaft r is secured a disk x having projections z, Fig. 3, which are kept in contact with the elevations and depressions o of a nut n by a spring 8, and so cause an up-and-down motion of the shaft when it is rotated by a pulley and rope 2, 3 or equivalent device. The shaft is adjusted to and from the orifice f by the rotation of the nut n in an internally threaded ring k supported from the pan a by arms j; it is locked in position by a nut p. To form the chocolate stream into various figures on the creams 4, one or more of the delivery devices described above are arranged in a frame 15, Fig. 6, mounted on a fixture 25. The driving-shafts 18, 34 carry eccentrics 30, 35, which rotate within yoke pieces 26, 33 and cause reciprocation or oscillation of the frame 15 according as the pieces 26, 33 are pivoted or rigidly secured to the frame 15 by screws 28, 281 and screws 29, 36 fitted in slots concentric with the screws 28, 28<1>. The series of shafts r is rotated from the shaft 18 by gearwheels 19, 20, 21, 22, the wheel 20 being carried by pivoted arms so as to maintain engagement when the frame 15 is in motion. A trough 17 with recesses 16 cut in the frame 15 may replace the series of pans a. As the chocolate issues from the orifice f, it impinges on an horizontal wire bent vertically downwards, and subsequently falls in a straight line. A series of these wires may be secured to a movable bar so that they may be moved together into or away from the stream of chocolate.

Abstract: 18,661. Marþay, E. de, and Moonen, E. Oct. 22, 1909, [Convention date]. Planes, arrangement of; steering.-The main planes a, Fig. 9, of an aerial machine are secured to axles c inclined downwards and forwards so as to form a V. When the planes are moved towards the front, the angle of incidence is increased, and when moved to the rear, the angle of incidence is diminished. One plane may be advanced and the other drawn back, or they may be caused to fold back against each other. The planes may be connected to the rear vertical rudder d, as shown in Fig. 12, the steering-pillar being so constructed that the planes and rudder may be simultaneously or independently operated, and the planes may be disconnected from the steering-pillar. The pillar, Figs. 13 and 14, comprises a hollow shaft g with a wheel g<1> and sleeve g<2> keyed to it, and a rod j<1> working freely in the shaft g and fitted with a friction bearing j<5>. The sleeve g<2> has a friction flange g<3>, and between the bearings g<3>, j<5> is a sleeve j<6> with corresponding surfaces j<7>, j<8> and having arms j, the extremities of which are on a level with the trunnions k about which the pillar can turn. The rudder cords i are connected to the forks j, and the links e, connected to the planes a, are pivoted to an arm f fixed to a link f<1>, which is pivoted to a sleeve f<3> surrounding the shaft g and fixed by a pin f<4> to an upper collar g<5>. By rocking the pillar about the trunnions k<1>, the planes a are swung backwards or forwards together, and the rudder d is unaffected. By rotating the pillar, the planes are turned in opposite directions and the wheel j<2> is rotated through the spring j<3>, thus rotating the rod j<1> and turning the rudder. If the wheel g<1> be held and the wheel j<2> turned, the rudder only is operated, and by withdrawing the pin f<4>, the link f<1> may be swung back about the pivot f<2>, thus folding back the planes a.

Abstract: 18,994. Philipson, W., Philipson, T. W. H., and Philipson, P. C. Aug. 24. [Cognate Application, 24,058/11.] Screw-and-nut mechanism for moving parts upon rotating shafts comprises a screw thread 6 upon a sleeve 3 which is to be slid along a rotating shaft 2. A nut d<1> engaging the thread 6 has an enlarged part d enclosing a spiral spring f. The spring f is secured at one end to the box d and at the other to the shaft 2. When the nut d<1> is held against rotation by applying a brake m to the box d, the thread 6 screws into the nut causing the sleeve 3 to move to the left. The box d may be locked in any desired position by a pawl which turns with the shaft 2. On disengaging this pawl, the spring f accelerates the nut d<1> relatively to the shaft 2 so as to return the sleeve 3 towards the right.
