Damping apparatus comprises a fountain 1 containing a fountain roller 3 partially immersed in water &c., supply pipes 10 for supplying water continuously through openings 20 adjacent each end of the fountain, an outlet pipe 12 through which water flows continuously from the fountain, and control valves (14), (15), (19), Fig. 3 (not shown), adapted to be adjusted to regulate the water flow through conduits (16- 18) whereby a depth gradient is set up along the length of the fountain and the ends of the fountain roller receive more water than the intermediate section thereof. Additional supply pipes may be located adjacent the ends of the fountain for the recirculating water and a source of fresh water may be provided to compensate for water transferred by the roller 3. Rigid or flexible conduits may be used and the valves may be controlled remotely, by a control set by an operator or automatically.

The pipe 10 is mounted on the fountain by a clamp 11. The rate of introduction of water may be varied in different supply areas and the roller 3 may be driven by a variable speed device. The fountain may be rectangular with a flat bottom or may have a curved bottom, curved side walls, or a curved periphery. The roller 3 may transfer the water directly to the plate cylinder (5), Fig. 1 (not shown), via a sprayer, or via forme rollers (6), (7), an axially reciprocating transfer roller (8) and a messenger roller 9.

Title: Improvements in or relating to automatic sheet detector mechanisms for printing-presses
IPC: B41F33/00

Abstract: 378,739. Printing-machines. STEVENS, A. H., 5, Quality Court, Chancery Lane, London. - (Miller Printing Machinery Co. ; 1117, Reedsdale Street, North Side, Pittsburg, U.S.A.) Dec. 9, 1931, No. 34134. [Classes 100 (i) and 100 (ii).] Tripping-arrangements ; sheet-registering devices ; sheet smoothers.-An automatic sheet detector mechanism for printing-presses comprises a pair of counterweighted pivoted feelers 28 carried by the gauge members 26 of the front guides 18 which are secured to an oscillating shaft 17 by means of which the guides 18 are raised and lowered. The gauge members 26 are carried by tubes 21 secured adjustably in the tubular front guides 18 by means of screws 23 operated by knurled heads 24 held in place by spring detents 25. The sheets are fed over a table 12 fitted with a lip plate 13, and on its underside with adjustable tongues 15 which are slotted to permit of the downward movement of the lower parts 33 of the feelers. The gauges 26 are formed with slots of the same width as the tongues 15 and the edges of the sheet are prevented from dropping below the gauge plate. To ensure accurate engagement of the edge of the sheet with the gauges 26, brushes 43 are arranged to stiffen the edge of the sheet just before it contacts with the feelers 28. The feelers 28 normally engage grooves 41 in spring-pressed plungers 40 arranged in the tubes 21, but when a sheet is fed correctly each detector 28 is released from its plunger 40 by the action of the sheet, and the plunger 40 can then be moved inwards by a lever 47 on a spring-controlled shaft 46 fitted with a further lever arm co-operating with a reciprocating rod 51 which controls the printing action in known manner. If either detector is not acted on by the sheet, so that one of the plungers is not released thereby, the shaft 46 is prevented from moving in a clockwise direction and the rod 51 in this case causes the tripping action to occur.

In a method of making a hinge sub-assembly including a hinge member having threaded member 58 extending transversely to the hinge axis, a terminal portion 28 of round wire 13 is cut and subsequently upset at ambient temperature in the bore 30 of a die 32 having a cylindrical portion 34 and a tapered portion 36, the pin 46 so formed being rolled between two thread rolling dies 52, 56 and fixed to a hinge member 76. The wire 13 is drawn through straightening rolls 10 by feed rolls 12 and passed into a bore 14 until its end abuts a stop 18. A cutter 20, which is provided with a V-shaped recess 26, severs the portion 28 and transfers it into the bore 30. A mallet 42 drives the portion 28 into the bore and the mallet and the cutter 20 are withdrawn to allow a plunger 44 to be driven into the bore to form the wire into the pin 46, which is ejected by an ejector 40. A feeder blade (48) pushes a pin 46 between a stationary thread rolling die (52) and a moving die (56), Fig. 2 (not shown). The dies are formed with tapered flat portions 52d, 56d, the remainder of the contact faces 60, 62 being corrugated. The portions 60b, 62b, of the faces lie in parallel planes and the portions 60a, 62a slope from the parallel portions to receive the conical portion of the pin 46. Female hinge members are formed in a die by the insertion of a punch into a cylindrical blank and the male members are formed by partial extrusion from a die (70) by a plunger (72), Fig. 5 (not shown). The rolled threaded pins 58 are inserted into the hinge members and electric current is passed therethrough to weld them together. The apex angle α of the threaded pin ranges from 2-10 degrees. All the hinge elements may be made of structural steel and after cold forming they may be tumbled with or without abrasives.

Abstract: 301,220. Wade, H., (Borden Co.). Dec. 19, 1927. Filling cans.-In the manufacture of evaporated milk in sealed cans, the evaporated milk is subjected to a sterilizing atmosphere which is at a pressure sufficient to prevent ebullition of the milk, and while under this condition the milk is introduced into the cans and the cans sealed up. The sterilizing atmosphere is preferably saturated steam. In the apparatus shown, the milk from a tank 10 after passing through a preheating coil 12, a glass-lined tank 13, and a vacuum pan 14, is pumped through a homogenizer 68 and a heating coil 69 into a steam-jacketed milk tank 84 which is fitted with a steam -injecting pipe 90 and is connected by a pipe at its lower end to a canfilling device 79, this device, the pipe and the tank 84 being surrounded by the steam under pressure which fills the can-receiving chamber 75. The cans are fed one at a time to a runway 94 through a rotary look or valve and are intermittently advanced in the chamber 75 by a plunger 77 so that they pass beneath the filler 79 and are then sealed up by solder 98 passing through a guide 99 and applied by an iron 97. The sealed cans leave the steam-filled chamber 75 through a rotary lock 88 and .are carried forward through a cooling chamber 104 by a belt 108, and, after being tested for leakage, are packed. In the heating coils 12, 69 the milk tubes 15, 74 are surrounded by pipes for steam entering at 39, 72 and leaving at 40, 73 respectively.
