Title: Improvements in Devices for Levelling Multiple Face Matrices between the Casting and Distributing Mechanisms of a Typographical Composing Machine.
Inventor: POLLEN ARTHUR HUNGERFORD
IPC: B41B11/18
Filed: 1909-06-03
Granted: 1910-06-02
Abstract: 13,061. Pollen, A. H., [Mergenthaler Setzmaschinen-Fabrik Ges.]. June 3. Distributing matrices.-Relates to means for levelling multiple-face matrices between the casting and distributing mechanisms. In the first elevator 5, Fig. 3, matrices 3 composed at the lower level are supported by means of their top lugs on rails 11, and matrices 6 composed at the higher level rest with their bottom lugs on ribs 12 formed by grooves 13. Between the first and second elevators are located rails 14, of which the upper surfaces are in alinement with those of the rails 11. The lower surfaces of the rails 14 are provided at their ends with inclines 15, which, as the matrices are pushed out of the elevator 5 on to the rails 14, engage the higher matrices by their bottom lugs and draw them down to the lower level. In a modification, the inclines 15 are placed on the upper surfaces of the rails 14, so that the lower matrices are raised to the higher level. In another form, the inclines 23, Fig. 10, are carried by a slide 17 which, during the entry of the composed line into the first elevator 5, is maintained by a lever 24 and spring 27 in the lower inoperative position. When the elevator rises, the end of the lever 24 encounters a fixed stop and raises the slide 17, so that the inclines 23 are in position to draw down the higher matrices, as shown in Fig. 10. The inclines 23 may be arranged to raise the lower matrices to the higher lever. Specifications 14,582/90, 18,886/95, 17,962/98, and 25,046/07 are referred to.

Abstract: 3113. Warwick Machinery Co., [General Electric Co.]. Feb. 8. Regulating.-An emergency stop-gear is fitted to turbines, and is operated either by the excessive speed of the turbine or by excess steam pressure at the exhaust or any other part. A throttle valve 11 is normally held open by a trip lever 14 connected by a rod 15 to a lever 17 mounted upon a shaft 18. A second lever 19 upon the shaft 18 engages a trigger 20, whereby the whole gear is normally held up against the action of a spring 23. The trigger 20 may be operated in two ways: (i) by actual contact with a centrifugal governor 24 mounted upon the main shaft 5; and (ii) by a lever 35 operated by a diaphragm situated in a casing 30. This diaphragm is subjected on one side to atmospheric pressure and on the other side to the exhaust pressure, which is transmitted from the turbine through a check valve 26, Fig. 2, and a pipe 27. A pop valve 40 set for a slightly higher pressure than the valve 26 may be connected to the given region of the turbine. The operation of this valve indicates the failure of the automatic device.

Title: Improvements in Jacquard Mechanisms for Embroidering Machines.
IPC: D05C9/06
Filed: 1910-11-19
Granted: 1911-04-27
Abstract: 26,938. Vogtlõndische Maschinen- Fabrik (vorm. J. C. & H. Dietrich) Akt.-Ges. Nov. 20, 1909, [Convention date]. Embroidery machines.-In a jacquard mechanism for automatic embroidery machines, a stop - motion is brought into action if more than one lifting - bar is operated, and simultaneously a returning-mechanism is operated to bring back the lifting-bars. The lifting- bars 1 ... 5 are operated, in turn, by bars 6 when the latter are pushed forward into the path of a constantly - vibrating lever 7. A series of anchors 11 ... 14 are pivoted to a slide 15 and their enlarged upper ends rest upon heels 30 of the lifting-bars. The anchors are so proportioned as to permit the lifting-bars to rise one at a time. But should any two, whether adjacent or not, be lifted together, the anchor or anchors between them are carried upwards with them, lifting the slide 15 and opening the motor switch 16. The lifting-bars are notched to receive a locking- member 8 when in either the upper or lower position. But the slide 15 has a locking notch only for the lower position. When the slide 15 is raised, owing to the simultaneous operation of two lifting-bars, the unnotched portion of the slide prevents the completion of the normal movement of the locking-member. The latter is operated from a cam 9 through one arm of a lever 19 pivoted to the locking-member at 18. This is normally held by a spring 20 against a stop 21 and so reduced in effect to a pitman. When, however, the movement of the locking- member is prevented, the lever 19 rotates upon its pivot and brings a strut 24 over the end 25 of the lever 7. The strut is immediately raised by the lever and a bar 27, being lowered, returns the raised lifting-bars to their normal position.

IPC: D01G11/02
Filed: 1911-01-02
Granted: 1911-12-30
Abstract: 6. Simon, E. O., and Simon, Ltd., H. Jan. 2. Cleaners.-Relates to the treatment of waste fibrous material such as that from cotton willows, openers, &c., so as to free it from dust &c., by the action of revolving beaters in a perforated casing, the dust &c. being expelled through the perforations into a chamber wholly or partly surrounding the perforated casing. According to this invention, the revolving beaters E act in co-operation with fixed spikes F arranged in rows along the inside of the perforated casing B. The dust &c. may be removed from the surrounding chamber C by a worm or other conveyer or by air suction; the cleaned fibres in the casing may be caused to travel towards the outlet end B<2> by inclining the casing, or the revolving beaters may be disposed so as to act as a propeller. The upper part of the casing B is imperforate except for the feed hopper L; if air suction is used, however, the upper part may be perforated.
