Title: Paper Sheet Feeding Device.
Inventor: MCCONNELL WILLIAM
IPC: B65H1/18
Filed: 1911-05-08
Granted: 1912-05-08
Abstract: 11,114. McConnell, W. May 8. Pile tables for sheet feeds; sheet separators; dropping - roller s h e e t feeds. - In a device for feeding sheets to printing and like machines, the pile is supported on a table 20 consisting of laths secured by transverse rods 23 supported by rods 22 from transverse yokes 40. The yokes 40 are supported centrally by rods 41 and springs 45, the rear yoke being carried from a bar 5 o n t h e stationary frame 2, and the front yoke from a cross-bar 31 connected by side arms to the front board 27. The movement of the rods 41 is normally prevented by brake-bands 62 attached to a bar 63, which is moved momentarily to release the bands by a bell-crank 69 and a cam on the shaft 11 of the feed-roller 10. The upward movement of the table is limited by a lath frame 50, normally raised by a pair of springs 55 but depressed to the level of the bottom of the roller 10, just prior to the release of the brake bands 63, by a lever 60 and a cam on the shaft 11. The frame 50 is then permitted to rise to allow the top sheet to be fed off. The position of the rear of pile is determined by a series of fingers 21, with forwardly-turning ends, on bars 18 which are reciprocated horizontally bv a cam on the shaft 11. The forward movement of the fingers 21 projects the top sheets of the pile over the front board 27, which is then momentarily raised by a cam on the shaft 11, to press the top sheet into contact with the feed-roller 10. As the sheet moves over the board 27, a roller 75, supported by bearings 78, is raised into contact with the roller 10 by a bell-crank 81 and a cam on the shaft 11. On the shaft 76 of the roller 75 is pivoted a bar S6, which, when the board 27 is raised, is lifted into contact with the roller 10 by a spring 87. As soon as the top sheet has passed between the rollers 10, 75, a stop 88 on the board 27 as it descends, engages an elongated slot in the bar 86 and removes it from contact with the roller 10. The sheet is conveyed forward to the front stops of the machine, after which the roller 75 is lowered out of action.

Abstract: 12,986. Colin, R. June 2, 1911, [Convention date]. Void. [Published under Section 91 of the Act.] Drawings to Specification. Ships' course signals; locating sounds.-Each ship is furnished with audible signalling-devices of different tone at its bow and stern, and these are sounded simultaneously so that a second ship can, by noting the time-interval between the two sounds, determine whether the first ship is steering directly towards or away from itself or at an intermediate angle. The tone-difference of the two sounding-devices is in proportion to the length of the ship. The receiving-arrangements comprise four microphones, placed fore and aft and at each side, which influence telephones and registering - apparatus. This arrangement enables the direction of a sound to be ascertained. The sounding - devices may be installed at the two sides of a harbour mouth, and on reefs &c., being controlled, in the latter instance, from a distance.

Patent GB-191221756-A (GB)
Title: Improvements relating to the Stowage and Launching of Ships' Boats.
Inventor: READE MELLARD TRELEAVEN
IPC: B63B23/18
Filed: 1912-09-24
Granted: 1913-09-24
Abstract: 21,756. Reade, M. T. Sept. 24. [Cognate Applications, 23,076/12 and 1718/13.] Boat raising, lowering, and disengaging gear.- Boats stowed athwart ship are handled by a single outboard swinging davit hinged at a considerable distance below the boat deck and adapted when in an horizontal position to serve as a gangway providing access to the boat. The #-shaped davit B consists of two longitudinal members pivoted to the ship's side at C. The longitudinal members carry staging suitably braced to build up a gangway, and this staging is cut away in a V-shape so that the boat can swing therethrough during lowering operations, which are controlled by topping-lifts H. The boat is stowed athwart ship and is hauled under the davits by pairs of falls J, K which pass over pulleys N, 0 arranged at the basal extremities of triangular frames F pivoted to a distance-piece between the members B at the davit head. The falls are led from the davit head back along the davit to a pulley D on the pivots C and are finally conducted to a winch M. Excessive swinging of the frames is checked by a device comprising a sleeve P sliding on the base G of the frames and connected by a link Q to the davit. Arrangements are also made for turning these frames wholly inboard when required. In a modification shown in Figs. 5 and 6, the horizontal position of the boat during swinging and lowering operations is positively secured. For this purpose, links 2 fast on the distance-piece 5 to which the boat is secured are connected at their free ends by stays 3 to a fixed point T below the pivot points D of the davit. This construction ensures that the link 2 is always vertical during swinging operations, and consequently the boat secured to the same rigid axis is kept horizontal. In order that the boat may be launched in any angular position relatively to the ship, a frame 4 is secured to the distancepiece 5 by a tubular pivot 6. The frame 4 is rotated between the longitudinal members of the davit by an endless chain passing round a pulley 12 on and controlled by worm-gear on board. The falls are carried from the boat over pulleys 7 on the frame 4. then up the tubular pivot 6, over pulleys 8, 9, and back along the davit to the winch. The fall from the inner part of the boat is passed over a pulley 16 some distance below the pulley 15, over which is passed the fall from the outer part of the boat. This arrangement causes the outer fall to be slack when the boat is brought inboard, and consequently the inboard end of the boat is higher than the outboard end, which facilitates handling. This slack is afterwards taken up by the snatch-block 20, which is used when bringing the boat to its inboard position on the chocks 18. The disengaging-gear comprises U-shaped members 24 attached to uprights 22. Sections 25 of the members are hinged and take through the uprights and are locked by pins 26 passing through the thwarts 23.
