Title: Improvements in Printing and Embossing Presses.
Inventor: CLARK WILLIAM MCCALL
Filed: 1905-07-18
Granted: 1906-07-18
Abstract: 14,805. Clark, W. M. July 18. Embossing.-The sheets or web are printed or embossed against a stationary forme or block 31 by a rolling impression segment 14, the arms 15 of which are connected by a rod 16, having rollers guided in slots 18 in the brackets 11 of the framing. The rod 16 is reciprocated in the slots 18 by links 19, connected to crank-pins 20 on gearwheels 5 on a shaft 6 geared to a driving-shaft 2. The impression segment 14 is controlled in its movements by links 21 connected to it at 22 and to the framing at 23. The ink disk is actuated by a projection 36 from the roller frame 28, 29, which is oscillated by rods 25 connected to the rods 21. The brackets 11 having the slots 18 are pivoted at 13, and are rocked, to cause the segment 14 to engage the platen during the printing movement and to move away from it during the return movement, by means of cams 7 on the shaft 6 engaging disks 8 on the brackets 11. The disks 8 are journaled eccentrically on disks on a shaft 10 in the brackets, and this shaft may be rocked by the lever 12 to throw off the impression &c. The upper part of the segment 14, in its rearward movement, approaches an horizontal position, as shown in Fig. 1, facilitating the feeding and removal of sheets. A web 45 from the reel 44 may be printed and fed between the bed and platen over guide-rollers by feed-rollers 52, 53, the latter of which is driven intermittently by ratchet mechanism and a gear-segment 60, rocked by a rod 62 and an adjustable crank-arm 66. The printed sheets may be cut off by a cutter-blade 55, pivoted at one end, raised by a spring 78 and operated by a rod 75, lever 72, and cam. A bar alongside the cutter 55 is normally raised by the spring 78 and is depressed by a spring on to the paper when the blade is depressed to cut.

Granted: 1906-10-18
Abstract: 21,534. Jungner, E. W. June 10, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Making galvanic batteries. - Activematerial electrodes for alkaline accumulators are made by the following continuous process. Thin sheetmetal bands r, Fig. 1, are fed through perforating-machines a, which leave parallel strips n, Fig. 2, unperforated. After nickel - plating, if desired, the bands pass to corrugating-rollers V<1>, V<2>, V<3>, V<4>, Figs. 1 and 3, which make channels in the unperforated parts n. The bands are brought together in pairs by corrugated rollers which press the bottoms of the channels together. Into the spaces between the perforated parts active material is fed from a hopper b, and the sheets are then fastened together by a machine c, which either sews them together with a nickel thread along the parts n, or stamps out tongues, Fig. 4, which are doubled under to unite the sheets. The perforating, filling, aud uniting may be interrupted at intervals, as at k, Fig. 6, and the double band cut into sections across these parts, which are afterwards united at the top and bottom, Fig. 7, to complete the electrode. Specifications No. 16,361, A.D. 1897, and No. 7892, A.D. 1899, [Abridgment Class Galvanic batteries], are referred to.

Granted: 1906-08-02
Abstract: 968. Wielandt, W., and Torfkoks Ges. Jan. 13. Coking. - In making coke from material containing a large quantity of water, such as peat, lignite, wood, &c., the gases evolved in the colder part of the apparatus are drawn off either separately from or together with the gases from the hotter portions. The hot gases are drawn off by a pipe g adjustable in a liquid seal p or a stuffing - box. The cool gases may be drawn off direct or, as shown in Fig. 2, through openings r in passages f. When the valves f<1> in the passages f are in the position shown, the cooler gases pass out by the pipe s, but, if the valves f<1> are raised, they pass down the passages f and out by the pipe g. The passages f may be separate from the cool gas exhaust. Arrangements for using the gases in heating the material are also described.
