Abstract: 9518. Brenot, M. C. April 22, 1908, [Convention date]. Holders; gas meters.-A bell G<1>, Fig. 8, is shaped to part of a torus and works in a correspondingly shaped vessel F<1>, gas being supplied through a pipe R'. The bell works about an axis M, and is partly balanced by a weight S<1>. A device for delivering a measured quantity of gas comprises communicating vessels A, B, Fig. 1, arranged so that when filled with water, gas is forced from the vessel B into a measuring-bell G. When this bell is filled, contacts b, c are closed, which operate a tilting- device and actuate a two-way valve E, allowing the gas in the bell G to discharge and putting the vessel B in communication with the gassupply. At the same time the valve C is opened and the vessels A, B empty, a float e falling with the liquid and eventually closing contacts h, c<1>, which close the valve C, and reverse the valve E. The operations are then repeated.

Title: Improvements in Sheet Delivery Mechanism for Printing Presses.
Inventor: TUCKER JUNIUS EDGAR
IPC: B41F1/28
Filed: 1910-12-02
Granted: 1912-01-02
Abstract: 28,073. Tucker, J. E. Dec. 2. Delivery apparatus; sheet-registering devices.-Sheets are delivered from platen presses by a reciprocating gripper carriage which is constructed with stop pins on the grippers to register the sheets as fed to the platen. As shown in Figs. 1 and 5, the delivering mechanism comprises two sets of grippers, each comprising a fixed member 21 and a pivoted member formed of a part 23 controlled by a spring 25 and a gripping-member 26 pivoted to the part 23 and normally kept in alinement with it by means of a spring 38. The grippers are adjustably mounted in arms 16 carried bv brackets 9 secured by set-screws 11 to an oscillating shaft 6, which is mounted in a sliding carriage 5 guided by trough-shaped tracks 42, and reciprocated by means of a pivoted arm 49 having a guideblock 50 moving in the track 42, and a guide-arm 51 which stops the carriage when the grippers reach the bottom of the platen. The arm 49 is connected, preferably by a universal joint, to a lug 53 on a rod 54, which is reciprocated from a crank arm 59 by means of a link 58 and lever 56. The grippers are guided to the receiving and delivering positions by means of a bent crank arm 67 on the shaft 6 provided with a roller 68 moving in a camtrack 69. The grippers are opened to receive the sheets by a three-armed member 64, which embraces a rod 29 connecting the moving jaws 23 and is pivoted to the shaft 6, but moves with great friction thereon. The member 64 is operated to open the grippers by a rod 62 actuated by a platen lock M, and the sheets are registered against stops 30 on the grippers. As the carriage recedes from the platen, one arm of the member 64 engages a fixed shaft 4 on the carriage, and the grippers are opened. The sheets are stripped from the grippers by prongs 65 and fall on to a board 66. The shaft 6 also carries registration members comprising stops 41, Fig. 6, on arms 39 similar to the fixed gripper jaws but arranged to register wide sheets. The arms 39 are carried by adjustable arms 33 secured as shown in Fig. 6 to the shaft 6. Pivoted spring - controlled members 38 co-act with the arms 39 to guide the sheets to the pins 41.

Title: Improvements appertaining to or connected with Temple Thread Cutters for Looms for Weaving.
IPC: D03D49/70
Filed: 1910-12-22
Granted: 1911-10-05
Abstract: 29,760. British Northrop Loom Co., and Hollins, D. M. Dec. 22. Weft, cutting. -Relates to that type of temple thread-cutting mechanism for a weftreplenishing loom wherein a heel on a movable cutting-blade is operated by a lay abutment. Instead of operating the cutting-mechanism at each beat-up, it is only operated for a determined number of picks after weft-replenishment has occurred. The heel 9<1>, Fig. 4, of the movable blade of the temple cutter may be actuated by an offset bar or actuator 11<1>, Figs. 3 and 4, on a shaft 11 mounted on the lay and provided with a ratchet-wheel 12 normally held by a spring-controlled pawl 15 in the position shown in Fig. 3, wherein the offset bar 11<1> lies closely against the lay and cannot actuate the heel 9<1>, a dog or latch 19 on a breast-beam bracket 20 riding idly over a dwell or blank portion 12<1> of the ratchet-wheel when the lay beats up. When the replenishing-mechanism is actuated, an arm 18 on a part 6 is moved into position to engage, on the beat-up, the pawl 15 and thus disengage it from the ratchetwheel 12, whereupon a coiled spring turns the shaft 11 and the actuator 11<1> into position to engage the heel 9' on the beat-up and thus operate the cutting-mechanism. The dog &c. 19 engages the ratchet-wheel 12 at each beat-up, and gradually returns it to normal position, the actuator continuing to operate the heel 9<1> until the ratchet-wheel has almost returned to normal position. The actnator may be formed by cutting away one side of a barrel or tube, or by bending a bar. In a modification, the ratchet-wheel 12 &c., Fig. 5, is carried on the breast beam, and a collar on its shaft is connected by a cord &c. 21 to a pin 9<2> on the heel 9<1>, whereby the cutter-blade is normally held closed, but is freed when weft-replenishment occurs so as to be opened by its spring 9<3> and closed by the lay-abutment 23 for a few picks until the ratchet-wheel has been again wound up by a setting-dog or latch 19 on the lay.

Abstract: 8716. Martin, E. E. V. April 9, 1910, [Convention date]. Feeding sheets; delivery apparatus. - A machine for coating sheets of paper or other material with size, glue, varnish, printers' ink, &c., in strips, designs, or over the whole surface, comprises means for driving the coating or printing cylinder intermittently, means for raising the sheets into contact with the cylinder, and means for delivering the finished product. As shown, the printing or coating cylinder 3, Fig. 1, which is supplied with ink or adhesive by rollers 28, 29 and may be fitted with engraved plates or with removable shells forming a relief printing-surface, is driven by gearwheels 8, 9, Figs. 1 and 2, the wheel 9 being fixed to a shaft 10 fitted with a ratchet-wheel 12 and a locking-disk 11 fitted with recesses adapted to be engaged by the bent end 20<Î> of a 'lever actuated by an adjustable cam 16 on a disk 15 integral with a driving-wheel 14 freely mounted on the shaft 10 and fitted with a pawl 13 which drives the ratchet-wheel 12. When the cam 16 acts on a lever 20, the arm 20<Î> locks the disk 11 and acts on the pawl 13 to free it from the ratchet 12. The cylinder 3 is thus stopped and the feed-table is then raised to supply the cylinder with sheets. The sheets are supported on a platform 2, which is fitted with adjustable side gauges 36, and is supported by cams 25, the shafts of which are supported by lever arms 21, 22 actuated by the lever 20 to raise the sheets into contact with the cylinder 3. The sheets are registered against a front stop. When the cylinder 3 rotates, a bar 34<b> presses the sheets against the printing-cylinder. Wires 7 hold the sheet until it is stripped therefrom by wires 9, from which it is stripped by disks 35. The platform 2 is automatically advanced by rotating its supporting-cams 25, which are geared together, by means of a worm-wheel 26 driven by a worm actuated by a pulley 26<b>. A number of sheets may be fed from separate piles separated by registering-devices 36, and sheets of unusual shape or sheets set obliquely may be treated. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) comprises also a modification in which the cam 16 is replaced by a projection which actuates a wheel similar to a Maltese cross. This wheel actuates a locking- lever for stopping the disk 3, and also, by a lever and connecting-rod, actuates a system of pivoted cross-rods which raise the feed-table. The sheet-registering devices are fitted with dovetail projections adjustable in similar grooves. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.
