Title: Improvements in Folding Apparatus for Boxes and the like.
Inventor: FISCHER ROBERT ERNST
Filed: 1903-05-19
Granted: 1903-10-15
Abstract: 11,364. Fischer, R. E. May 19. Paper &c. boxes.-Relates to a machine for folding paper &c. boxes from the blanks shown at Fig. 5. Figs. 1 and 2 are sections of parts of the machine at right-angles to each other. The blank, with gummed edges, is placed over the opening b in the plate a, and the stamp c descends and presses it into the channel between the pieces d, folding up the sides 1, 2 at right-angles to the bottom 3. The stamp c is attached to the rail 8, which slides in the standards 9, being operated by the crank-disc 6 and rod 7. The gummed side flaps 4, 5 are alternately creased by the plates g, g<1> reciprocated by the levers h connected to arms 17 operated by cams 19. Sliding between the vertical standards m are plates l, operated by cams 21, and, on these plates, other plates k slide in slots k<1>. The fingers n are linked to the plates l, and are provided with rollers p engaging the surfaces of the plates k. The box is supported between the plates d by the slide e, oscillated by the arm f operated by the cam 15. When the slide e opens, the box, which has been grasped by the fingers n, is carried downwards by the motion of the slides l. When the slides k come in contact with the fixed stops q, their motion is arrested, but the slides l, descending further, cause the rollers p to enter the recesses p<1>, whereupon the springs o open the fingers n, and the box drops on to the transporting- chain shown in Fig. 2, by which it is delivered from the machine. The chain consists of a number of plates s with flanged sides adapted to hold the boxes, and loops t joined by rivets v. It is mounted on two shafts, and is operated by sprocket-wheels 25, 26 and a chain 27.

Granted: 1904-09-15
Abstract: 10,054. Prest, J. E. Nov. 21, A.D. 1903, [date applied for under Patents Act, A.D. 1901]. Thread-guides and carriers therefor.-The yarnguides G, Fig. 1, of spinning and twisting machines are mounted in blocks F on separate sheetmetal plates D, which are bent down at the sides d and freely mounted on a shaft B carried in brackets C fixed to the roller beam A. The guides and plates may be tilted back separately by hand, or simultaneously by rocking the shaft B, on which lifters I are adjustably fixed so as to support each plate. The shaft is rocked by a handle at one end provided with a catch engaging a flange on the roller beam A to lock it in position. The lifters I may fill the space between the sides d of the plates, which practically form a continuous surface across the machine, or may be narrow, and washers arranged at each side to fill up the space between the flanges d and to keep the plates in position. Intermediate bearings for the shaft B replace these washers at intervals. The flat-topped plates facilitate the removal of dust and fly. In one modification, the inner ends of the plates D terminate near the shaft B, and a plate extending across the machine is fixed to the roller beam and lies in the plane of the plates when in working position. In another, the blocks Fare extended and form forked bosses which embrace the lifters I and are freely mounted on the shaft B, and flat plates are fixed on the top of the blocks.

Abstract: 10,740. Gaisman, H. G. May 10. Razors.-A safety razor is so constructed that the blade can be stropped without removal to a separate holder. The frame-plate 1 with integral uprights 1<b> of different lengths has a sliding clip À3<a> at the bottom to take on the flat head 2<a> of the handle 2, and contains a fluted roller (not shown), which is mounted in cheeks 25, 26 supported by a spring 28. The holder 8 on which the blade is fixed by a screw 9 turns on a sleeve projecting from the longer upright and is engaged by the squared end of a spindle 7 which runs through the sleeve. Pinions 23, 21 on this spindle and on the spindle of the fluted roller gear with a rack 22 occupying a guiding-channel 24 on the longer upright. For shaving, the blade is propped out in the oblique position shown by a guard 12 hinged to a bar 14, which is carried, together with a spring 15 by an arm 17 projecting centrally from the frame-plate and affording adjustment. For stropping, the guard is turned down through a right-angle and the instrument is put on the strop with the blade above and the roller below. The friction of the roller against the strop makes it turn at each reversal of the stroke, and the rack work so actuated reverses the blade.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Time Recording Machines and the like.
Inventor: STOCKALL JAMES JOHN
Filed: 1904-12-31
Granted: 1905-12-30
Abstract: 29,239. Stockall, J. J. Dec. 31. Time-checking apparatus for workmen. The going - train of type - wheels driven from the clock-spindle is modified to secure better alignment, locking, and quick transfer of the motion between the different wheels ; and the printing- handle operates a punching-mechanism whereby the record cards are fed downwards upon completion of each line. The main type-wheel spindle e, Fig. 3, is driven from the clock through a crank with a pin engaging with a slotted wheel, but controlled as to its motion in the slot by means of springs whereby slight relative motion during printing is allowed, and has fixed upon it the minute wheel and its justifying-wheel v, Fig. 4, the latter carrying a pin to engage and move at each revolution a toothed wheel on the shaft p. This shaft has a pin-and-recess wheel o which co - operates intermittently with the justifying- wheel k attached to the date wheel j and with its aligning-pawl l to change the date daily. Normally, the minute-wheel is free, but the operation of the printing-handle brings a double aligning-pawl w, x, Fig. 4, into gear with its justifying-wheel, which carries a spring-pivoted piece 3 movable at rightangles to the plane of the wheel by contact with a projection upon the framework. This movement brings a pin 4 on the pivoted piece into gear with the justifying-wheel 2 corresponding to the hours and feeds it one unit, a pin on the locking-pawl 7 and a recess in a ring 10 unlocking the justifying- wheel for the purpose. Fig. 8 shows the record card 20 held in guides before the type-wheels, and resting with one of its lower corners on a small plate. When the card and its carriage have moved transversely until the last entry on a given line is being printed, the punch 18, operated as shown at each stroke of the printing-handle, cuts off the corner in question so that the card falls into position for recording on the next line.
