Abstract: 246. Read, J. W. Jan. 3. [Cognate Application, 17,998/12.] Cylinder machines; stopping, starting, and tripping arrangements; gripper mechanism; offset machines.-A printing-machine of the kind described in Specification 23,804/08 is constructed so as to be driven by power, the cylinder being arranged so as to be capable of being both tripped and untripped automatically for each reciprocation of its carriage. A pivoted feed-table is used which is normally lowered by cam mechanism, but which may be tripped by a hand mechanism which may also trip the cylinder for inking-up &c. An improved gripper mechanism is provided, and the delivery apparatus is attached to the frame of the impression carriage, and its tapes are driven from the fixed rack by an arrangement of ratchet-wheels and pawls which cause the delivery tapes to move continuously in the same direction. As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the impression carriage c which also carries the inking and damping rollers, is reciprocated by a sprocket-chain d fitted with a stud d<3> working in a slot c<2> in a depending arm c<3> of the carriage, which is fitted with cushioning-plungers g<1> coacting with dashpot cylinders g. The impression cylinder is mounted as described in the Specification referred to above, but the hand-operated lever, which was operated to throw the impression cylinder into operation at the feed end of the press, is replaced by a lever n, Fig. 2, operated by a stop o mounted on a pivot o<1> and capable of being set by a crank o<2> so as to prevent the roller from being brought into action when desired, for instance when the bed is being inked-up. The chain d is driven from a shaft f, Fig. 3, which is fitted with a clutch comprising driven parts f<1>, f<2> freely mounted on the shaft f, and an expanding part fixed to the shaft f and operated by depressing a freelymounted treadle h, which together with an integral arm h' and sliding sleeve h<2> are moved axially along the shaft f by a fixed cam-surface and a cam-surface h<3> on the sleeve h. The sliding motion of sleeve h<2> causes the clutch to be expanded owing to an adjustable connexion between the two, and so the shaft f remains in action until the treadle h is returned to normal position. The grippers s, Fig. 4, of the impression cylinder are preferably operated by a lever s<2> and a pivoted cam-member formed with two operating-surfaces t<2>, t<3>, which are alternately brought into action to open and close the grippers at the feed and delivery positions. The cam is pivoted to a fixed boss m<1>, about which the cylinder m oscillates. The machine may be used to give offset impressions by fitting a prepared blanket on the cylinder m and feeding a sheet with a protective cover to this cylinder and obtaining the offset impression as the cylinder runs over the bed. The bed-adjusting device consists of two or more parts, each part comprising a double wedge actuated by a hand-operated screw engaging a nut on the wedge.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Stopping Mechanism for Sewing or other Machines.
Inventor: BOULT ALFRED JULIUS
IPC: D05B69/22
Filed: 1912-11-06
Granted: 1913-12-08
Abstract: 25,459. Boult, A. J., [United Shoe Machinery Co.]. Nov. 6. Sewing-machines; stopping-gear, non-automatic.-Comprises a spring which absorbs the kinetic energy of the machine after the driving-clutch is disengaged, brings the machine to rest, and subsequently, in its recoil, imparts to the machine a further motion in either a forward or reverse direction, and a pneumatic device which operates during the further motion to bring the machine to rest in a predetermined position. In the construction shown, an eccentric-rod 17, associated with an eccentric 18 on the machine shaft is linked to a piston 7 within a cylinder 8, between which and the piston a spring 12 is interposed. The eccentric-rod 17 is also coupled to a lever 19 connected to a piston 22 of a dash-pot having a non-return air-inlet at 25, a usual regulating-valve 26, and a port 24 controlled by a piston valve formed on the end of a latch rod 32. During the normal running of the machine, the piston valve is positioned so that the part 29 registers with the port 24 and the dash-pot is rendered ineffective; the piston 7 and cylinder 8 also move together, the cylinder being free to slide within a bore 13. When the stoptreadle 41 is released to separate the parts 5, 6 of the main clutch, a rod 34 associated with it is freed, and tends to rise under the pressure of a spring 38<a>, and by means of a cam-slot 38, to move the latch 32 to the right. These movements take place when the cylinder reaches the top of its stroke and the latch engages with the underside of the cylinder to prevent its further movement. Thereafter, as the machine continues to rotate, the piston 7 being forced downwards compresses the spring 12, and ultimately the machine is stopped when the piston 7 is near the bottom end of its stroke. A further movement is imparted to the machine, by the recoil of the spring, and is in a forward or a reverse direction according to the side of the centre-line upon which the eccentric-rod 17 was arrested. The movement of the latch to the right, also closes the port 24 and the further movement imparted to the machine by the spring is controlled by the effective action of the dash-pot, so that the machine is brought to rest in the position shown without shock. In order to permit the opening of the clutch 5, 6 without the operation of the retarding- gear, the treadle-rod 42 is associated with the rod 34 as shown in Fig. 2. When the treadle is depressed to start the machine, the rod 34 is moved to its lowest position and is looked there by a weighted catch 49, and thereafter is not free to move upwards until the rod 42 is moved sufficiently to engage the catch 49 and remove it. The parts are so proportioned that a movement of the treadle sufficient to release the clutch is not sufficient to raise the rod 42 into contact with the catch.

Abstract: 4953. Charvieux, A. March 19, 1912, [Convention date]. Variable-speed chain gearing.-In the kind of variable-speed driving-mechanism for cycles in which the chain is adapted to be transferred from one wheel to another on the crank axle or the road-wheel hub, the chain is tensioned according to the gear by a rockable arm 7 carrying guide-rollers and a rail 6 to which a tension spring 1 is connected. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 3, the crank axle carries a large and a small chain-wheel, and for the low gear the arm is tilted up towards the rear so that both rollers engage the chain. When the normal or high gear is desired, the tension of the chain is released by rocking the arm so that it inclines upwards towards the front, and meanwhile the spring slides automatically along the rail to the opposite end to hold the arm in contact with a stop 10; the chain is then placed upon the large wheel on the crank axle. The stop is in the form of an arm 9 with a screw, the head of which is on the inner side. This stop may, however, be omitted, the clip 5 or the stay of the machine then serving as a stop for the front roller.
