Granted: 1914-07-16
Abstract: 25,135. Marks, E. C. R., [Aufiero, E.]. Nov. 4. Diaphragm horns.-In a manually-operated diaphragm born, a normally inert tension device is interposed between the manually-actuated member and the striker member, whereby non-uniform applications of force are translated into uniform impulses. In the construction shown in Fig. 1, the operating-mechanism is mounted on a framework 8, 10, the position of which relative to the diaphragm 1 can be adjusted by a screw 14. A spring- held toothed sector 19 on a shaft 16 may be actuated by a handle 18 or by a pull on a cord 23, and operates a sleeve 28 through ratchet gear 30, 29. Between the striker 36 and this sleeve, a spring 35 is interposed for converting the step-by-step movements of the sector 19 into continuous uniform impulses of the diaphragm.

Abstract: 28,802. Western Electric Co., [Woodward, F. T., acting for Western Electric Co.]. Dec. 13. Automatic exchange apparatus.-Five sets of wipers are loosely mounted on a vertically moving shaft, and the process of selection consists in first selecting one of the sets of wipers and clutching it to the shaft,. and then moving the shaft and selected wipers by a coarse and fine adjustment device on to the desired terminals. Each set of wipers is mounted on a carrier 9 supported on the shaft 8, Figs. 1 and 5, and the shaft is provided with a lug 16 adapted to co-operate with a hook 18 to clutch the carrier to the shaft during its upward movement. The lugs 16 are angularly displaced relatively to each other, and the shaft 8 is rotated to bring the desired lug 16 under its hook 18 by energizing a magnet 21 to clutch a wheel 22 to a disk 19 on a constantly rotating shaft 20. The extent of movement of the shaft 8 is controlled by impulses sent through contacts 31, 32 operated by a star-wheel 30 on the shaft. When the desired set of wipers is clutched to the shaft, a magnet 46<1> is energized to move an idler pulley 36<1> against the shaft, thus coupling the shaft to the high-speed drive mechanism 34'. The extent of this vertical movement is controlled by impulses produced by the movement of a contact 56, Figs. 1 and 2, over an interrupter 57. When this movement is complete, the low-speed drive mechanism 34 is coupled to the shaft, and the extent of the movement produced by it is controlled by impulses obtained by the movement of a contact 59 over an interrupter 60. Each set of wipers consists of four brushes 1, 2, 3, 4, Fig. 3, moving over contacts 5, 6, 7 on the terminal banks, and connected through bars 12, 13, 14. The brushes 2, 3 form, in effect, one brush. The contacts 5, 6, 7 are extended as shown in Fig. 3 to form two terminal banks back to back, a set of wipers being arranged opposite each of them. The terminals are arranged in five sets of 100 each, only a part of one set being shown in Fig. 1. The shaft is held in the raised position.by a pawl 47, and when the shaft is to be released, a magnet 50 is energized, and the return drive mechanism 34<11> is brought into action. When the shaft again reaches its lowermost position, contact is made between a contact 92 and brush 56 to compete a circuit for a sequence switch &c. to cut out the return drive and to re-energize the magnet 21 to bring the shaft 8 to its normal rotary position. In a modified form, the brush carriers are clutched to the shaft 8 by a catch which co-operates with a cam-disk carried by a shaft parallel with the shaft 8. The cam-notches in the cam-disks are angularly displaced similarly to the lugs 16 shown in Fig. 5.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Apparatus for Applying Glue or other Adhesive to Blanks or Strips.
IPC: B05C1/08
Filed: 1915-04-27
Abstract: 6301. Marks, E. C. R., [Stokes & Smith Co.]. April 27. Coating webs.-Consists of improvements in that type of coating-machine in which a transfer roll supports parallel glue-applying rolls which have applying-surfaces out of alinement with one another, so that the first applies stripes of glue and the second applies glue to the parts between the stripes, the paper strip thus leaving the device completely glued. The applying-rolls 19, 20 having separated applying-surfaces 22 are mounted in the slides 18 so that their weight is borne by the transfer roll 17. The weight may be increased by adding presser-rolls 23 similarly mounted and supported at a little distance above the rolls 19, 20 by bearing-surfaces 26 on the presser-rolls rolling upon similar surfaces 25 on the rolls 19, 20. A bar 27 between the rolls 19, 20 carries fingers 27<a>, 29 to guide the strip from the first to the second coating-roll, and the fingers 29 extend far enough to deliver the material glued side uppermost to a receiving-table 31 pivoted at 32. Glue is fed to the transfer roll 17 by a roll 38 rotating in a glue receptacle 12 and mounted on arms 35 pivoted about a pin 41 mounted adjustably in a slot 45, the adjustment being effected by means of a screw 46 which passes through the pin 41 and bears at 47 on the end of the slot, the pin 41 thus forming a nut on the screw. By operating the screw 41, the axis ot the roll 38 is moved far enough to withdraw the gear-wheel 39 from a pinion 40 on the axis of the roll 16, whereupon the roll 38 can be turned about the pin 41 into the position shown in dotted lines in Fig. 1, to bring it out of engagement with the roll 17, and the table 31 is also raised as shown. Bearing-surfaces 51, 52 support the roll 38 in its two positions respectively. It is preferred to drive all the rolls by gearing, as shown in Fig. 4, from a driven wheel 55<a>. To prevent unequal wear of the soft surface of the transfer roll 17, its shaft 16 is movable longitudinally and is reciprocated by a disk 58 and a cam groove 59. Brackets 10<b> are adapted to support the rolls when lifted out.
