Abstract: 20,150. Exley, W. H. Aug. 30. [Addition to 23,123/08.] Slicing bread, meat, and the like.-The machine for slicing bread, meat, &c., described in the parent Specification is modified in the following respects. (1) The carrier, as used when cutting bread, is provided with an angular fixed bracket 18, and a sliding horizontal plate 20, with spikes 22 engaging the upper surface of the bread, is guided by a vertical slot 21 in the carrier. Prior to the arrival of the loaf opposite the endless-band knife, the loaf and the sliding plate 20 drop under their own weight, being released by the action of a cam 58 and lever 56. The plate 20 may be fitted with an horizontal slide carrying the spikes 22. When dealing with bacon &c., a carrier of the form shown in plan in Fig. 13 is used. The meat is gripped at the sides by means of a plate 49 and a lever 36 carrying a sliding plate 51. The lever 36 is pivoted to a bar 47 which may be adjusted horizontally and locked by a pawl 46. A metal band passes from the back plate 49 round a guide sheave, and is wound round a spring drum 38, which is held stationary by a pawl 45 when the lever 36 is tilted. The vertically-sliding bracket and the meat are alternately held and released by a cam 58 and lever 56 as before. The carriers may be adapted for dealing with several pieces of material. (2) The carriers are driven at a variable speed by means of elliptical gearing. The shaft 12, driven by hand through bevelgearing or by motor through worm gearing, is provided with a worm 13 driving a worm-wheel pinned to the elliptical wheel 6, which gears with a similar wheel secured by a claw coupling to the carrier. The band knife may be driven at a variable speed by similar gearing. When the machine is motor-driven, a free wheel or a disconnectible clutch is arranged between the motor and the carrier. (3) The cut slices are stacked by a rotating cylinder 80, Fig. 5, which receives the slice from the cutter and deposits it against a bracket 82 sliding in guides 83. The bracket is pushed forward by swinging arms 85 operated by a cam 89. In a modification, the cylinder 80 is eccentric, and the pushers 85 are dispensed with. (4) The guide for the endlessband knife is slightly tilted, and the faces of the knife pulleys are correspondingly shaped. Pads of coiled felt pressing against the pulley faces keep them free from crumbs and other refuse.

The driving-wheel e has a gap i, during which interval the rollers b, c are stationary. A pin k on the wheel engages one end of the lever l, which at the other end, Fig. 3, is pivoted to a rod r actuating the shutter o. The pressure platen nt is mounted on a rod q, which passes through the curved end of the rod r and is raised, when the lever l is actuated by the spring r<2>. The rods q, r are arranged so that the shutter o is not actuated until the pressure platen m has been raised.

Oils and spirits for burning; mineral oils, purifying.-Petroleum or shale oil distillates are mixed with gasolene or other light hydrocarbon in the presence of light aromatic hydrocarbons such as benzol, toluol, or xylol. The oil may be treated for the removal of sulphur. In an example, the oil is mixed with small quantities of tar oil and sulphuric acid, allowed to stand, and decanted. The sulphur is then removed by adding quicklime and slaking it in the presence of the oil. After the lime has been settled out, the oil is mixed with benzol and small quantities of oil of bitter almonds and sulphuric acid, and decanted. Gasolene is then added together with a quantity of lime which has just been slaked. The product is decanted and filtered and mixed with further quantities of gasolene.
