Granted: 1897-05-08
Abstract: 7091. Inman, H. March 18. Cutting-machines for paper.- In covering boxes, the roll of covering-piper held in a reel R is fed under a tension device U. and over the glueing or pasting roller I. through a paste scraper M, between the guides b, and then, if there are several strips, between several guides or fingers on a cross-bar l, thence to a cross-bar p' on which the several strips are pasted together, and lastly through the spring-guide fingers f<1> and shears e<1> to the box, which is held on a former mounted on the part g<1> of a clutch the other part of which is secured to a rotary shaft 8. The part g<1> of the clutch, and the movement of the box, are arrested while the cutters operate, thus enabling the latter to give a square cut. The driving-pulley r is put into gear with its shaft by means of a spring pawl which is operated by working a treadle, and it cannot be again thrown out of gear until, after a rotation or two when a box is covered, this is effected automatically. Most of the parts of the apparatus are mounted and adjustable on a longitudinal bar E, and also they are supported on single arms to facilitate the insertion of the strip into the guides and cutters &c.

Patent GB-189730889-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Bush Making Machines.
Filed: 1897-12-31
Granted: 1898-05-07
Abstract: 30,889. Clinch Broom Manufacturing Co. and Zahn, R. G. Dec. 31. Stapling.-Relates mainly to the feeding of rattan &c. for tufting brushes in which the tufts are fixed by stapling. The bristle material slides from a hopper till it rests across the fixed trough A<7> in which there slide the thrusting bar' A<5> of trough section and a toothed 'stuffing bar' A within the bar A<5>. The bar A<5> is reciprocated slowly by a pin A<37> passing through a slot in the trough, and the bar A<4> is reciprocated rapidly by pins A<14> carried by the slide A<11> and entering horizontal slots in the trough A<7> and short inclined slots in the bar A<4>, which is thus raised when advanced and lowered when retracted. The material is thus spread out in a single layer between the bar A<7> and a part of the machine fixed just above it. The bar A<5> is then retracted so as to raise the catch A<6> and allow the material to the right of it to drop on the part A<20>. A wedge with a combined vertical and lateral motion now pushes the material into the space B<5>, Fig. 3, so as to rest on the horizontal rollers B<6> on the plunger B<1>. The staples are fed singly beneath the driver B<2>, their legs running in the grooves B<20> and straddling the tuft, and the plunger and driver descend to fix the tuft, the legs of the staple being clinched by contact with the metal box X, Fig. 13, enclosing the brush stock S. To ensure the holes H<1> being in line with the driver, a templet H is used, holes in the templet fitting on to a projection on the work table.

Patent GB-189815303-A (GB)
Title: An Improved Method of and Apparatus for Generating and Utilizing Electricity.
Inventor: FEELY JOSEPH JAMES
Filed: 1898-07-12
Granted: 1898-11-12
Abstract: 15,303. Lake, H. H., [Feely, J. J.]. July 12. Dynamos, regulating; field magnets.-A generator producing an approximately - constant pressure when driven at varying speeds, above a minimum, is constructed as shown. The polepieces are connected by a magnetic shunt 4, carrying two windings 6, 7. The winding 6 is in series with the shunt winding 5 of the field magnet, and, when the winding 7 carries no current, the intensity of magnetization in the magnetic shunt is the same as that in the field magnet, and directed to strengthen the armature field. The other winding 7 on the magnetic shunt carries the armature current, and opposes the action of the winding 6. The generator may supply an accumulator through an automatic switch, adapted to make connection only when the pressure produced by the dynamo is equal to that of the accumlator ; if the speed then increases, increasing the current through the winding 7, the main field is to some extent shunted, the pressure produced in the armature being thus kept down. The invention is applicable for vehicle lighting, the dynamos being driven from an axle, and the accumulator connected to lamps, or for utilizing wind power.
Patent GB-189817173-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Mechanical Door Checks.
Inventor: MILLS CLAUDE KENNEDY
Filed: 1898-08-09
Granted: 1898-10-08
Abstract: 17,173. Mills, CK., [Hanington, C. F.]. Aug. 9. Door checks.-A door hinge is constructed to contain a check, the door being provided with an independent closing-apparatus. One flap has knuckles 2, Fig. 1, attached to the pintle, on which the barrel 6 of the other flap 5 rotates. A sleeve 25, with a strong leaf spring 27, is attached to the barrel, and a sleeve 17, with a similar spring 24, has a slight axial movement on the pintle, so that in its lower position a lug 18 on it can enter a recess 19 in a collar 12 attached to the barrel. When the door closes sufficiently rapidly, the springs 24, 27 engage and check the door just prior to closing. During the rebound the springs disengage and the sleeve 17 is released by any suitable trip mechanism, being then forced downwards by a spring 28 to allow the door to close without hindrance. The trip mechanism shown consists of a shoulder 30, on a reduced end 29 of the sleeve 25, which engages the hooked end 33 of a spring latch 32 on the sleeve 17, till just prior to the engagement of the springs. If the door closes rapidly the springs engage, either frictionally or by hooks 34, before the spring 28 depresses the sleeve 17, the door being checked, and released after the rebound. If, however, the door is closed slowly, say by hand, the sleeve 17 is depressed before the springs engage, avoiding checking the door. The sleeve is elevated during the opening of the door by bevelled faces 21, 20 on the lug 18 and recess 19, the latch snapping over the shoulder 30. Rotary movement of the sleeve 17 is prevented by guiding the lug 18 in a split collar 16 on the pintle, between which and the sleeve is placed a buffer washer 35. The collar 12 may have a slight axial movement in the barrel, and be supported in the upper position shown by a lug 15 which rests on a collar 7, revoluble on the pintle by means of a projecting pin 10. By turning the collar 7 till a recess 8 is below the lug 15, the collar 12 falls, its upper face then clearing the lug 18 during the opening of the door, so that the sleeve 17 is not raised and the check is rendered inoperative. Bevelled faces on the lug and recess allow the collar 12 to be reset. To prevent the door from closing too violently, a spring pin 38, Fig. 3, is mounted in the sleeve 25 and engages a cam surface 37 on a collar 36 on the pintle, checking the movement of the door. Either of the springs 24, 27 may be replaced by a projecting lug on its corresponding sleeve. If both springs are replaced by inelastic lugs, suitable springs are provided to permit one or both of the sleeves to have a slight rotary movement on the pintle.
