Title: Improvements in or relating to Stamp Affixing Machines.
Inventor: THUN ALFRED
IPC: B65C9/18
Filed: 1911-12-21
Granted: 1912-12-23
Abstract: 28,875. Thun, A., and Thun, H. Dec. 21. [Addition to 13,175/10.] Stamp-applying.-The stamp-affixing machine described in the parent Specification is modified as regards (1) the means for feeding the stamp-strip, and (2) the means for locking the machine when a stamp-strip is used up. (1) The end of a stamp-strip is pressed back by a stop, and is then seized and fed by a device which has a motion of greater amplitude than the required length of feed. In the form shown, Fig. 1, a pair of grippers g, h are pivoted upon a pin f carried by slides d, which are controlled by a cam a on the crank-shaft 31. On the upward movement of the pin f, a stop y on the pin presses back and so bends the portion of the strip between the end and the braking- device 17. The grippers g, h are closed by pins k, and engage the end of the strip. On the downward movement, the grippers draw down the stamp-strip, being kept closed by the engagement of spring hooks m, n, until the hooks are freed by striking a pin z. The stamp-strip is then gripped by a plunger 23, and torn off and affixed as described in the parent Specification. The grippers may be replaced by other feeding- means, such as rollers, and the feeding-device may grip the strip near, instead of at, the end. The strip may be pushed back after as well as before the feeding operation. (2) A wedgeshaped or hook-shaped tail p, Fig. 3, is glued to the end of the stamp-strip, and acts on a roller r on a lever q, which, by means of a rod t and levers s, v, presses a lever x into a notch in the rod 68. This prevents the operation of the machine, in the manner described in the parent Specification, until the lever q is released by a lever 61, which was used in the original machine for releasing the feeding-means.

Granted: 1912-12-12
Abstract: 12,543. Dees, M. A., and McLeod, N. W. May 28. Vulcanizing tyres.-A tyre vulcanizer consists of two shells A, B, between which the moulded tyre X is clamped. The shells enclose a space slightly larger than the finished tyre. Each section is formed of two parts riveted together, the spaces between the parts forming a heating - chamber through which steam may be passed The joint between the chambers is kept steam-tight by packing 8, 33. The tyre is held in position by means of an annular abutment 17 secured by rings 20 and screws 21, which may be adjusted from the outside. Steam is admitted to the interior of the tyre and expands it to the size to which it will be inflated when in use. The two sections A, B are connected together by bolts 12, clamps 16, and dowels 10; correct alinement between the sections and the annulus 17 is ob tained by means of rings 19 through which the dowels pass. Steam is admitted through the opening 30 and passes around the upper section, then through the passages 35, 36 to the lower section, from which the water of condensation is carried away by the tube 49. Steam is also admitted to the interior of the tyre through the passage 37 in the ring 17, and water of condensation is removed therefrom through the tube 44, which is swivelled on the tube 42 in order that it may rest against the bottom of the tyre when inflated. In order to assist in the removal of the tyre from the vulcanizer, rods 23, 25 are provided, which pass through the shells A, B and rest against the rings 20, levers which are fulcrumed at b and 29, respectively, being provided to press against these rods and force the shells apart. To allow the tyre to expand to its full extent when inflated, passages are formed in the castings to connect the back of the chamber to the air. In order to prevent the tyre from being forced into the groove between the two sections, a guard-ring 39 is provided having holes corresponding with the passages.

Title: Improved Means for Obtaining Two Separate and Opposite Drives from a Single Electric Motor.
Inventor: HOLMES HENRY THOMAS
IPC: G03B21/43
Filed: 1912-06-21
Granted: 1913-05-08
Abstract: 14,560. Holmes, H. T., and Welch, J. Kemp-. June 21. Winding. - A reversible motor is made to drive one or the other of two separate shafts in opposite directions, such a drive being required, for instance, when winding a flexible band from one drum to another and back again, bv arranging gear to place a pinion driven by the motor into mesh with one or other of two spur-wheels which drive the oppositely running shafts. As shown in Fig. 2, the motor shaft d drives the shaft a, whereon is loosely mounted the threaded sleeve i having at its extremities disks g, h carrying pawls j, k. These pawls are so set with regard to their ratchet-wheels e, f that one engages and the other overruns according to the direction of rotation of the shaft a and its ratchet - wheels e, f. As the screw is rotated by either one of the two ratchets, it traverses the nut l, which is restrained from rotating by the guides o, and slippers n, to one end or the other; on reaching the end of the screw, one of the catches m disengages the driving-pawl through the release q and stops the movement of the nut l; but, as shown in Fig. 5, the nut in its movement towards the end of the screwed sleeve moves the bell-crank lever r, the link s, and the second bell-crank lever t, which, as shown in Fig. 4, turns about a spindle carrying a toothed wheel u permanently in mesh with the pinion w on the driving-shaft a. The free end of the bell-crank lever t carries a pinion v, which always meshes with the wheel u and so is driven by the shaft a, but, according to the position of the cranked-lever t as determined by the movement of the nut l, the wheel v is meshed to drive either one of the spurs x, y. Thus from the two independent shafts carrying the spur-wheels x, y, respectively, two separate and reversed drives with an intermediate neutral position may be obtained according to the running direction of the motor.
