When a complete stereo is used, a margin is formed by grooving the stereo between the points p, p. The printing and impression cylinders are driven by means of gears as 1<e>, located near the central bearing, the gears 1<e> being sometimes formed on the sleeves 1<d>. The stereos are preferably one page in circumference, and, as shown, there are sixteen of them which print four double wide webs, and a series of turning-bars and two folders are provided which can associate all the webs on either folder, or divide the webs in any manner between the two folders, so that either folder may be supplied with any even product from two to sixteen pages.

IPC: B66C3/12
Filed: 1910-11-30
Granted: 1911-11-30
Abstract: 27,814. Armatrong, Whitworth, & Co., Sir W. G., and Harlow, F. Nov. 30. Mountings; turrets.- Relates to systems for elevating guns or rotating turrets in pairs, in which two or more motors A are employed. According to the invention, each motor has a controller which can be operated by itself, or jointly with the other controller. The coupling of the controllers is effected by the depression of a shaft E, which carries a toothed wheel and engages wheels on the controller shafts. The shaft E is provided with a hand-wheel G to operate the controllers C and it also carries a contact F which completes the circuit of an electro-magnetic clutch D to connect the gears driven by the motors. Interlocking switches are employed to prevent the clutch from being put in operation if the motors are on different gears. These switches consist of contacts 0, which are moved into engagement with springs P when the gear-control levers L are operated, and the clutch circuit can only be completed when the switches on the two motors occupy similar positions. If hydraulic motors are used, the shafts of the controllers Care screw-threaded and used for shifting slide valves for controlling the motors. An hydraulic clutch may be used, and the switches O, P are then replaced by valves.

Granted: 1912-05-06
Abstract: 10,846. Kalbfleisch, F. H. May 4. Sizes and finishes.-The proportion of mineral content in a soluble sizing-agent is increased by combining commercially evaporated aluminium sulphate with a readily dehydrated compound, such as magnesium sulphate which is dehydrated to a relatively high degree, the mixture being then capable of reaction with resin size, forming an insoluble sizing-agent. The mixture is prepared by stirring into the usual hot syrup obtained by evaporating aluminium sulphate a suitable quantity of magnesium sulphate deprived of some, preferably all, of its water of crystallization, until the liquor is homogeneous; the heating may be continued to form a thicker syrup if desired, and is then run into suitable vessels to cool and harden into cakes. In a modification, solutions of the two salts are mixed and then evaporated to a syrup, and so forth as before; or the commercially evaporated aluminium sulphate may be ground and mixed with the now completely dehydrated ground magnesium sulphate.

Pedestal, pillar, and like stands; stands with pivoted supports for displaying; brackets and racks, adjusting and securing.-A goods-displaying device, longitudinally movable in a cabinet, is provided with a coacting cam race and rollers for causing a rack or holder to assume a definite position with reference to the base or support each time the holder is deflected out of its normal position. The top 9 of a holder rests upon ball bearings 11 on a collar 7 and upon springs 24 with a screw - adjustment 25 to regulate the distribution of the weight on the holders between the bearings 11 and a cam 15 and rollers 14. The cam 15, Figs. 4 and 7, has a surface such that, if the support 9 is deflected in either direction, the holder tends to return to its normal position. Slight depressions 23 in the cam make the exertion of a small force necessary to move the holder, and so ensure against accidental displacement of the holders. The frame 2<a>, Fig. 5, is rigidly connected to its standard 3<a>, which is rotatable on a base 4<a>. Springs 24, screws 25, a cam 15, and rollers 13 function as already described.

Abstract: 2979. Fielding, J. Feb. 6. Tension-regulating winding and paying-out apparatus.-An electric boat-hoist is provided with a differential compensating brake gear so that the hoisting-rope is kept taut while the boat rises and falls on the surface of the water. The motor shaft 1 drives a bevel - wheel 4 mounted loosely on the shaft 5 of the hoisting- drum 12 through worm gearing. A brake disk is also loosely mounted on the shaft 5 and carries pinions gearing with the bevel-wheel 4, and with a bevel-wheel formed on the drum. A brake-strap 9 surrounds the brake-disk and is operated by a lever 10. The brake is normally loaded by a spring or weight 14, and as the motor is continuously running, this is sufficient to allow any slack to be hauled in, or to allow; the drum to overhaul according to the rise and fall of the boat on the waves. To hoist, a solenoid 15 in circuit with the motor is excited and the brake is applied with great force, so that the load is lifted.
