"IMPROVEMENTS IN MACHINERY OR APPARATUS FOR PICKELING AND SWILLING
AND WASHING METAL PLATES OR ANY OTHER GOODS, ARTICLES, OR MATERIALS."
My Invention consists of two or any other number of baths or cisterns, circular
or any other shape, and according to size machine or amount of work necessary
to be accomplished, and made of either wood or metal, preferable of wood lined
with lead or sheet copper or any other suitable metal, and each bath suspended
and partially counterbalanced separatively or coupled together. Within each
of these baths I place a separate table or platform supported to receive the
crates or crate containing the plates or materials or goods to be operated upon
by sulphuric acid or any other suitable liquor, and the said platform having a
turntable in their centre, and the whole supported by one or more columns and
a foot and socket pedestal. The said columns to pass through openings made in
bottom of each bath or cistern, and fitted with steam or water tight metallic or
any other packing, which will also act as guide to the ascension and decension
of the cisterns or baths when the machine or apparatus is made for a fixed table or
platform. (The same arrangement is equally effected where the baths are made
fixtures, and the platforms made to descend and ascend, as the case may be), and
each platform or table to carry five or any other number of carriages, and each

page_text: carriage bearing four or any other number of portable crates containing the metal
plates or other goods or articles to be operated upon, and so arranged as to pass
these carriages by a bridge from one platform to the other of each bath. In the
absence of this bridge and carriages I use gratings, and dispense with the several
carriages. For economy I will suspend each platform separately or together by
four or more or any less number of rods to be used as guides together with outside
bath guides in the ascension and decension of the baths, and each bath or cistern
to be a convenient length, breadth, and depth suitable for one or more carriage, and
each carriage fitted with carrying rollers and one or more portable grating-platform
to receive four or any other number of portable crates, loaded as before described,
and the whole together made to pass or carried from the carriage by rollers in
carriage and carrying rollers fitted in each bath platform, first, from carriage to
No. 1 bath platform; after there operated upon, then passed by the said carrying
rollers to No. 2 bath platform, and so on to finishing carriage. Motion being given
to the said rollers in each and every shift by any known mechanical means, as
endless chain acting upon each roller, or the carriage with its load, as above
described, may be taken wholesale direct on to the bath platform and discharged
of its load by the same or separate appliance as that used in working the baths
and bath platform. In loading or charging those crates I use corrugated sheets of
copper or other suitable metal or wire work frames of suitable sizes suspended or
otherwise used, from the end of each by a horizontal rod to assure completeness of
the process while in the baths, and to admit the liquor freely and quickly leaving
the work done before removal for the next operation, thereby saving much of the
liquor and time now wasted. I use one of each such plates or wire frames between
every two plates or articles to be operated upon. All the baths I may or may not
partially counter balance and couple together or worked singly, and the necessary
motion given to the whole of the said machines or singlely by manual power
transmitted by a windlass or any other mechanism for giving the baths a short
up and down movement after or before ascending the necessary height, for the
purpose of agitating and forcing the liquor between the plates or other goods and
articles to be operated upon. The said windlass to have a clutch wheel or ratchet
for fixing or holding each bath at any required height, or may be worked by a
steam power, water power, or hydraulic power.
Apparatus or machinery constructed in the manner above described may be used
for what is known as pickeling and swilling, and by such means or appliances I am
enabled without steam power or hydraulic power to accomplish better work,
together with much more of it, in the same time and at much less cost than by any
other means or appliances at present in use, and I propose to arrange the same for
washing any other goods and articles or materials.

"IMPROVEMENTS IN MACHINERY OR APPARATUS FOR PICKLING, SWILLING, AND
WASHING METAL PLATES OR ANY OTHER GOODS, ARTICLES, OR MATERIALS."
This Invention has for its object to dispense with labor and much expense and
delay of the present system of pickling and washing, swilling, and finally cleansing
metal plates preparatory to their receiving, and after receiving, a coating of tin or
terne metal or any other alloy, as also to greatly obviate the risk of the inefficient
performance of these important operations. The pickling, awilling, and washing pots
or baths may be of parallelogram form or any other shape made of wood or suitable
metal, if of wood the pickling baths are lined with lead, and the whole arranged
and constructed to give the said baths or cisterns an up and down motion to any ·
required height by manual, steam, hydraulic, or any other power. In order that.
my Invention may be fully understood, I will describe same by reference to the
accompanying Drawings, in which the same letters and figures of reference indicate
DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS.
Sheet No. 1, Fig. 1, shows longitudinal section and elevation of No. 1 and 2
baths or tanks; 8, mill or bed plate; o, steam pipe extending the whole length and
breadth of tank, and perforated so as to distribute steam necessary for heating
the liquor to a certain temperature, which varies as the class of iron is changed, the
vertical part of this pipe having a telescope joint of such length as to admit of the
necessary height for the required lift and fall of the tanks. The use of this pipe is
to convey steam for heating the pickling liquor of suitable description, which is
used for that purpose. The tanks or baths, which may be made of wood or metal,
if of wood to be lined with sheet lead, as shewn, contain the necessary quantity of
liquor or any other suitable acid sufficient to cover the plates or any other articles to be
operated upon, the said tanks to be suspended when in use and to work in guides,
as shewn; B, table or platform having two or any other number of lightening
holes C, to more readily admit the liquor or liquid mixture in the tank, same
entering between the plates D, carrying rollers recessed at each end and grooved in
the centre of their lengths to receive the ribs on the under side of grating platform
the rollers being supported by brackets, solid or otherwise, of table B and pullies D,
one on each roller, for coupling and giving motion to the carrying rollers by the
endless chain D", and used for the purpose of passing or transmitting the grating
platform together with its load from one platform and bath to the other, and finally
from platform to carriage, see Figs 5 and 6, manual power being applied with a
key fitting the square of spindle at the opposite end of the said rollers, or the same
motion may be given and applied by any other mechanical means, or may be
worked without such appliances by simply hand pushing or pulling the grating J
and its load. The rollers D may be suspended by adjustable rods, one at each end,
and supported by the transverse portion of guide bars N, each roller having at
each end a slide blocking in guide bars fixed within each tank or cistern. The
said table is suspended by four or any other number of rods F, and supported by
guide frames N; E, bath or cisterns pit coping or sill framing on the top of pits;
F, table adjustable suspension and guide rods; Fu, baths and table slide and guide
brackets bolted or rivetted to sides of baths or cisterns (four or more or less number

page_text: on each tank or bath may be used; G, wrought iron or metal straps for lifting and
suspending baths; H, metal rails or railroad for carrying carriages (Figs. 5 and 6
in plan), which carriages are used for conveying the work to and from the baths,
carrying in each case the grating platform J, upon which is placed, in sending the
work to the machine, the hand crates containing the work to be operated upon, as
shown in Figs. 1 and 2; I, wood framing which may be of iron or other material
for supporting the working of the baths and balance weight A; J, grating platform
with ribs cast or fitted on its underside to match and work in recesses in the
rollers D and also in carriage rollers No. 2, bearing the hand crates containing the
work to be operated upon to the pickling baths, and after there treated passed to
the swilling bath upon the carrying rollers D, and after there treated passed by
similar means to the carriage (Fig. 5 in plan), and delivered thereby to the drying
stove or annealing house or mill, as the method of working may demand; K, cross-
head for working and hoisting cisterns or baths or load if the dipping method be
adopted, as shown in half plan, Fig. 4; L, rollers for carrying bath chain and
balance weight chain in working the baths or cisterns a; M, adjustable bath and
and crosshead coupling rods; N, baths or cisterns guide bars bolted or rivetted
together in line with each other, the head or transverse portion of which is used to
support the table platform B by the rods F; O, handle of windlass or crab winch,
single or double power may be used, or other power or appliances; P, barrel spindle
and ratchet of the same; V, spindle clutch and handle for using clutch, the whole
working in boss brackets secured to the frame bars I of each bath to give the
necessary motion to the baths or cisterns or the loads. Such motions may be given
and applied by steam, hydraulic, or other means; Q, bath balance weights connected
to crosshead K by rope or chain, and carried by rollers L; R, slides secured to
bottom of cistern working on guide bars N, two or any other number on each
bath or cistern, or any other mechanical means may be used for guiding and
steadying the tanks or baths in their ascension and decension, or the working
of the said baths or tanks where the machine or apparatus is so arranged as
for the load to be stationary as now shown and described. In cases or under
certain circumstances where the baths or cisterns are preferred to remain stationary
except for the purpose of emptying them and the load or goods immersed or dipped
therein, I secure the guide bar or brackets to the ends or sides within each of the
said baths or cisterns with corresponding slide blocks or brackets on the table B.
In the absence of these tables for receiving and bearing the load I use, together
with the three or more or less rollers, a skeleton frame or side bars only, of suitable
strength and shape, and geared with snugs or slide blocks, same to work in guide
bars or short brackets, say, 6" or 9" long from top, secured within each tank or
cistern, and in such cases I dispense with the guide rods F and couple direct from
the crosshead K. In another arrangement I use two suspension adjustable rods to
each carrying roller, and each of these rods at one end being connected to a cross-
head of six arms, and the other end of the said rods made to receive carrying
roller spindle, one at each end of rollers, with a slide block on each to match strap
guide and lifting brackets or cisterns, as shown in Fig. 7 on Sheet No. 1, which
brackets serve also for lifting the baths or cisterns when necessary. S, cistern or
tank seating or bed sills; T, hand crate rails or corner bars, notches being cast in
bottom rails at suitable angles to receive each plate or sheet. In changing said
crate or crates the plates are slipped into each notch, these notches being for the
purpose of keeping the plates apart from each other, to afford free access to the
pickling liquor or any other liquid entering between the plates, also for actuating
in cleaning and oxydizing and washing every particle of the surfaces of such plates,
goods, or articles. The notches are shown at T and plates at Z (14" x 10")
Fig. 1. The same are kept in the crate by rails W on each side. I place a second
batch (or other number of batches according to size of plates required) in the same
crate one above the other, say, two inches apart as shown, supported by horizontal
rails or bars u, and having similar notches in them to those in the bottom rails of
crate, and the aforesaid bars u¹ and plates carried by them are supported or

page_text: sustained by the vertical crate rails T in songs or slots u", Fig. 2, made to receive
these bearing bars. The upper batch is retained in the crate by similar means as
that in the bottom part of the crate at W. This description is one of two crates
placed side by side on the grating plato form J, as shown in Fig. 2, and shown end
to end in Fig. 1. The plates Z, Fig. 1, are 28" x 20", and placed in similar
notches as before described on movable plates or strips Tii. Where the plates or
sheets are smaller than 14" x 10" I use smaller crates; the same are dowled and
placed one upon the other in any convenient manner with fixed triangular copper
or other suitable metal. rods between every two sheets or plates, secured to crate
frame or bottom bar at one end and to top rail at the other end for convenience of
removing the same when worn out. u, Fig. 2, horizontal bars used for supporting
No. 2 or upper batch of plates or sheets, such bars varying in number with the
different plates or sheets to be operated upon; W, bottom or No. 1 batch guard
rails; W', upper or No. 2 batch guard rails. Longitudinal view of another class of
crate, to be called grating crate, shown on three carrying rollers, and the whole
rests as shown in broken or dotted lines in section of bath or cistern in Fig. 1, and

or other suitable rods y of any suitable size and distance apart to admit a plate or
sheet or other article between or into every space, such as plates 28" x 20", as 1
shown by Z, or other size. For the other view of these rods or wires, together
with bar X and its supports, see Fig. A. Another method of using these wires or
rods is diagonally, as shown in broken or dotted line y¹, in said Fig. 4; the same
may be used vertically or in any other position or form. In Fig. 3, X" shows
longitudinal bar supports secured to crate ends in the centre of its width, or on the 1
one side when used singly or diagonally, as y', all being secured to crate sills.
W, guard rail or bar, one on each side of crates, for securing the plates in crate,
movable in charging and discharging crate by pivot hinge at the one end, and
by pin and slot at the other end. In the absence of these rods or wires I use
of suitable pitch corrugated copper or other suitable metal sheets, as shown in
Fig. 6, No. 2, in elevation and plan, or the same in wire work, suspended
upon a round rod or bar in position and support similar to the flat bar X,
placing one of such corrugated plates or wire work between every two sheet
iron plates; and for convenience and despatch in charging the crates, I keep
them reefed up at either end of this bar or rod, then sliding one by one,
or alternately with the sheet iron plates as the crates are charged; and in
discharging the crates all the said distance or partition plates or wire work being
withdrawn simultaneously, leaving the plates to be handled in a mass. Fig. 4 end
view of these crates in section, with four rows of plates in elevation 14″ × 10",
shown therein as 'Z, Z, Z, Z, the two bottom rows resting upon the crate bed frame 3
and the two upper rows on longitudinal bars as before described. In Sheet No. 1
the wires or rods used in this crate as partitions as above described afford the acid
or other liquor or mixture free access to the plates' surfaces, and also allows all
other impurities and grease to freely leave the sheets, plates, or other goods while
in the bath, and also the acid liquor freely leaves the work when out of the bath. 3
Fig. 5 is a similar class of crate, but differently charged, the plates 14" x 10" size
having short corrugated, as before mentioned, square at each end, and used as
partition plates for the bottom or first batch, and the same corrugated plates or
wire work used as supports or bearers for the upper or second batch with horizontal
supports u, u, u, from guard rails or bars v, as shown in plan, Fig. 8. W, guard

page_text: from end to end for receiving the plates when charging the crates, or the same
provision may be made in moveable strips the whole length of trolly fitted
and secured upon each or any of the bars as shown at T". W, guard rails on each
side of trollies secured and opened as before described; ✗, partition rails, see
plan, Fig. 7, forming compartments and support to the sheet, plates, or other goods.
Fig. 4 is another class of trolly crate partly charged with plates Z, 28" x 20", and
Fig. a cross section of the same. R, lever or arm partition pieces of suitable
width and thickness, one between every two plates, and supported by bolt rod y at
one end, and guard rail bar W at the other end. Such levers or arins in charging
the crates are raised to about position or angle shown by dotted or broken lines,
and when charged they are simultaneously or otherwise brought down to bar W.
In discharging the crates the arms R are simultaneously lifted at one end from
between the plates or sheets, and the crates may then be emptied and the sheets
handled in a compact form. u, horizontal support secured to one of the bars W, as
shown in plan, Fig. 2 and 8 on Sheet No. 2; Q, grating plates covering the trolley
frames (for receiving the plates or goods) recessed or notched as before described to

be made the whole length, or from end to end, or any part thereof, as shown at Q¹,
Fig. 5, and in plan, Fig. 8. Fig. 6, details of main crosshead K and coupling
crossbars J.
The tank or cisterns, or the tables carrying the loads, in all these different
arrangements may be made to balance each other in the pickling, swilling, and
washing operations by segment levers gearing with pinion and driving pulley of
suitable diameter on the pinion shaft with endless hook chain gearing with teeth
in the periphery of the said driving pulley or wheel, placing the pinion of any suitable
pitch and diameter between and gearing with the segment ends of the said levers,
and coupling the load or tanks to the plain ends of levers, the whole supported by
framing similar to that shown on Sheet No. 1. The four tanks, or the loads, or
other number, may be coupled to balance each other by pullies and chains, or by
steam crab winch, or by other mechanical means. The load or tank of the pickling
baths may be made to open and shut when in operation, a cock, tap, or valve
connected with the liquor or acid supply pipe of different or unequal area
admitting in total as much as would be carried off in each pickling performance
for the purpose of maintaining the necessary quantity, and as near as possible an
equal and regular strength in every bath process or operation. Thus more
uniformity than at present is obtained, and to further maintain such uniformity I
use a hydrometer to indicate the acid strength, which instrument may be placed
in any or most convenient position inside or outside the cistern; and for regulating
the necessary heat I use, fixed or otherwise, inside or outside the tank a
thermometer. The plan of raising the cisterns or tanks and their working is
important in many respects, inasmuch as underground drains are not needed in
emptying the tanks, and the spent liquor or other liquid mixture, or chemical or
other matter, is more conveniently handled on the ground surface than under-
ground for restoring or converting into useable products, the contents of the tanks
being let out in the bottom, or side, or end, and conducted or conveyed into
deposit tanks for other treatment. In the washing process the machine and its
movements are much the same as those for pickling and swilling the sheet plates.
One, two, or other number of baths or tanks may be used coupled to balance each
other or otherwise, as previously described, in this caso preferably stationary when
in use, and the tanks or cisterns to contain a liquid mixture of soda and water of
suitable proportious, the same to be heated by steam or dry heat to a suitablo
degree, or any other better solvent of grease applied by any other means and in
any suitable form or mixture, heated or not, may be used. The trolly crate or
other suitable crate, as that on Sheet 2, Fig. 3, is charged with sheets or plates just
coated with tin or any other metal or alloy, the same being conveyed to the
machine and washed therein, by an up and down motion, of the grease necessary
upon the sheets or plates in the process of tinning or coating; such grease will be

page_text: "
made to leave the sheets or plates and will rise to the surface of the hot liquid,
the same to be then skimmed mechanically or by hand, or absorbed or glided off
the liquid surface into a trough fixed or otherwise at each end or side of the baths
or cisterns, or surrounding the same, arranged to receive the skimmings. This
must be cleanly and carefully done while the work is in the bath. After remaining
in the bath sufficient time the work or sheets and crates are then bodily withdrawn
and conveyed from the machine to any suitable drying place, and then operated
upon by any mechanical means for polishing their surface. Or the skimmings
may be made to flow off the surface, an additional quantity of water or other
suitable liquid, hot or cold, made to enter the tank at the bottom and at any
suitable distance from the bottom of the said tank or bath; while the washing
operation is being performed as much water or suitable liquid is allowed to enter
as will cause sufficient overflow to carry off the grease or other matter flowing
upon the surface of the solvent liquid (and admitted prior to the work or goods being
taken out of the bath), the overflow emptying itself into troughs surrounding the
tanks, secured or otherwise to the tanks, said skimmings being conveyed by suitable
means into deposit tanks or vessels for other treatment.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature and object of the
said Invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed or carried out in
practice, I hereby declare that I claim the Invention of "Improvements in
Machinery or Apparatus for Pickling, Swilling, and Washing Metal Plates or any
other Goods, Articles, or Materials," substantially as same is herein before set forth
and described and illustrated by the accompanying Drawings, wherein the following
are important points or features :-
(1.) Constructing baths or cisterns of wood or metal, or both combined, such
baths being separate or coupled together, and suspended and partially counter-
balanced, for the purposes herein before set forth and described.
(2.) Suspending or supporting in said baths on table or platform to receive
crates containing plates to be operated upon, substantially as described and
illustrated by the Drawings.
(3.) Pickling, swilling, and washing plates, substantially in manner herein before
described and illustrated by the accompanying Drawings.
In witness whereof, I, the said David Perfitt Griffiths Matthews, have here-
unto set my hand and seal, this Seventh day of September, in the year of
our Lord One thousand eight hundred and eighty one.
