Title: Smut Sheet Attachments for Reciprocating Sheet Delivery Mechanisms
Inventor: FAIRWEATHER GB WALLACE
Filed: 1906-01-10
Granted: 1907-01-10
Abstract: 687. Fairweather, W., [Redington, F. B.]. Jan. 10. Delivery apparatus; set-off, preventing. - Relates to a slip sheet device particularly applicable to reciprocating sheetdelivery apparatus. The delivery mechanism is of the usual type, and d comprises a carriage 3, having rollers 4 running on rails 5, which support the delivery fingers or tapes and which is reciprocated by a link 4 and crank 1 from some part of the machine. The carriage 3 is provided with antifriction rollers 7 which support the ends of two rails 8 connected to the slip sheet table 9, the other ends of these rails being carried by rollers 11 running on extended tracks 12. The table 9, with its rails 8, is reciprocated to a less extent than the carriage 3 by means of a link 15, the difference in motion causing the rails 8 to travel over the rolls 7 the length of grooves 10 formed in the underside of the rails. The inclination of the rails 5, 12 and the position of the rollers 7, 11 are so arranged that as the table 9 reaches the end of its stroke in either direction, the forward end is slightly elevated, and this, with the slower motion of the table compared with the carriage 3, prevents the slip sheets 18 from being projected off the carriage at the ends of the stroke. The slip sheets are removed one by one by the operator and allowed to drop, as the table 9 recedes, on to the printed sheet on the table 19. When it is desired to use slip sheets from a pile of alternate printed sheets and slip sheets, an additional inclined table 20 is provided over the extreme outer position of the table 9. The pile of slip sheets and previously-printed sheets is placed on the table 9, the dry printed sheet 18a is transferred to the table 20 by one operator when the table is in its inner position, and the slip sheet placed on the newly printed sheet on the table 19.in the usual way by a second operator.
