Patent GB-190907876-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and connected with Box Making Machines.
Inventor: NASMITH JOHN WILLIAM
IPC: B31B50/68
Filed: 1909-04-02
Granted: 1910-03-24
Abstract: 7876. Nasmith, J. W. April 2. Stapling. - In box-making machines of the type described in Specifications 16,139/05 and d 21,154/08, movement of the spacing- wheel 1 through the distance between two adjustable teeth on its face causes a predetermined length of wire to be fed. Blocks 5 are attached by pegs 6 to fixed teeth 2 and form adjustable teeth for a pawl 20, 21. The two parts of the pawl are attached by a pivot 22 to a spacing-lever operated by a crank 23. A spring 25 forces the outer ends of the pawl apart, the lower piece 21 of the pawl bearing against an adjustable stop 24 as the lever is lowered; as the lever rises, the tooth of the pawl is forced by the pressure of the spring 25 along a block 5 until it is clear. The machine is adjusted so that it stops with the lever in this position. The spacing - wheel is returned to its original position after each box has been stapled. A weighted chain 10, which is fixed to the periphery of a flange 7 on the spacing-wheel, passes over a pulley 11 and then through a slot in a lever 12. When the chain is sufficiently wound up by the rotation of the spacing-wheel, an adjustable stop 14 strikes against the lever 12, which releases a catch 17 on a treadle 18, allowing the treadle to rise and stopping the machine. The pawl 20, 21 being thus freed, the clutch connecting the feed shaft 4 to the cog-wheel is released, and the wheel 1 is drawn backwards by the weight of the chain until a pawl 9 enters a notch 8. The number of teeth in the clutch is so chosen that for each tooth 2 the spacing-wheel advances, the one side of the clutch moves through an integral number of teeth. A stop 26 is arranged for a handlever 27, by which the feed shaft can be rotated to feed the desired length of wire between two sets of blanks, so that, on bringing the lever down on to the stop, the clutch portion on the feed shaft is in the position for engagement. To cut the wire, an adjustable double incline on the back of the spacing-wheel moves an arm 31 on a rock-shaft 32, the other arm of which is thus moved away from a catch-rod.34, allowing it to engage a sliding block 38 operated by the spacing-lever; the bottom shear lever is thus lifted to cut the wire. The catch 34, at the end of its upward movement, strikes an incline by which it is forced clear from the block 38.

Granted: 1911-06-21
Abstract: 26,430. Halvorsen, O. G. Nov. 15, 1909, [Convention date]. Screw propellers. - The blades of a propeller are formed with a curved generatrix of such a character that the particles of fluid acted upon all move in true helices, the construction being obtained bv references to stream lines on an experimental blade with a straight generatrix. The experimental blade, Fig. 1, is faced with varnish and has openings i near the leading edge of the driving-face. Petroleum is pumped through a channel f, and, passing along the blade, dissolves the varnish, thus indicating the direction of the stream lines. When the blade and stream lines are developed, the tangents to the lines at the centre-line of the blade, for a given pitch ratio and given number of blades, meet at a point such as a1, Fig. 2. The loci of these points for varying pitch ratios and two, three, or four blades are shown at II, III, or IV respectively. When the tangent a, r is perpendicular to the line OY, then the corresponding stream line is the true helix. At positions on either side of this, stream lines have radial components. To counteract the radial motion, the generatrix is curved. As shown in Fig. 4, the generatrix O, 5 has a tangent at the point d, the distance of d from the axis being equal to the ordinate of the point of convergence b2, Fig. 2, of the tangents of an experimental three-bladed propeller of the desired pitch ratio, namely 0À8. The actual form of the generatrix is plotted from tables of ordinates l, k, Fig. 9, and may be curved in a plane perpendicular to the axis as well as in a plane containing the axis.
