Title: Improvements in Mechanism for Automatically Folding Cloth and the like.
Inventor: BENDIEN ALBERT
Filed: 1907-05-22
Granted: 1907-08-22
Abstract: 11,864. Bendien, A. May 22. Cutting.-Relates to the invention described in Specification No. 20,948, A.D. 1906, and consists of an arrangement for folding the cloth automatically. The folds are determined by bars 2, Figs. 1 and 2, which are operated by suitable turning-devices 1. The foot 3 of each piece 1 carries a screw 5 working in a fixed bracket 4. The head 3 further carries a ratchetwheel nut 6 and an angle - lever 8 provided with pawls 11, 12 and connected at one end to the bar 2, and at the other end to a spring-controlled bar 10. The support 1 moves up and down along a guiding- bar 13 fixed to the part 4. The cloth 16 to be folded is carried on the traveller 14 which has arms 15 engaging with the bars 10 of the angle-levers 8. As the cloth - carrying device or traveller moves across the folding-table, the turning arms 15 move the angle-levers 8 and draw out the folding- bars 2. In the return motion of the traveller, the folding-bars are re-inserted. As the angle-levers 8 turn, the pawls turn the ratchet-wheels 6, thus raising the head 3 and the bar support laby the thickness of a layer of cloth. Two sets of bar reversing-devices may be employed according to the length of cloth to be folded.

Granted: 1908-05-25
Abstract: 12,131. Barnes, F. W. May 25. Motor-cycles; driving-mechanism; axles, supporting belts, maintaining tension of.-In variable-speed gearing for motor - cycles &c., the tension of a driving - belt is maintained constant, when the diameter of an expanding driving-pulley is altered, by a simultaneous adjustment of the distance between the driving and driven pulleys. The expanding pulley, Fig. 3, comprises a flange A fixed to the motor shaft and a flange A<1> slidably feathered thereon and axially adjustable by means of a rotatable screwed spindle D in a stationary nut d, the extension G of the spindle being swivelly connected to the sliding flange A<1> by a ball thrust bearing H. The spindle D may be tubular to accommodate a starting-crank J. The boss of the pulley flange A carries a loose ball-mounted ring K to permit the belt to run free. The screwed spindle D is provided with an arm F connected by a link V to an arm or lever U on the driven pulley axle M, so arranged that, when the levers U, F are rocked, the driving-pulley diameter and the driven-pulley axis are simultaneously adjusted. In one form, Figs. 1 and 5, the axle M is adjustably screwed into slidable blocks P fitted in the tubular ends of the fork N, the lever U being pivotally connected to one end of the axle and also to a fixed fulcrum u above or below the axle, a slot being arranged at either pivot. In another form, the axle may be eccentrically mounted in a rotary sheave attached to the arm U. The desired adjustment may be effected by operating means which displace the axle as shown in Fig. 1; a hand-wheel T rotates a pair of rods R, which are connected by chain gearing S and screw into or out of cross heads Q carried by the axle. Similarly, the eccentric sheave may be rocked by means of a rod screwing into or out of an arm attached thereto. The adjustment may be effected by operating means which directly rotate the screwed spindle D to displace the pulley flange In this form the spindle carries a worm-wheel rotated by means of a hind-operated screwed spindle. In another operating-device, the lever U at its fulcrum and the screwed spindle D are provided with sprocket-wheels, a chain passing over them and also over a third sprocket-wheel which may be rotated when necessary by means of a pair of pedals.

Abstract: 1154. Sterne, L. Weigert-, and Moore, F. W. Jan. 16. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Three-colour and like apparatus; kinematograph apparatus. - Relates to the production of stereoscopic colour photographs. The method is based on the fact that any coloured rays of light can be produced by a mixture of two complementary coloured rays in addition to black and white. Each eve views one colour with black and white. A pair of stereo negatives is taken through complementary colour filters. The positives are printed upon suitably tinted backgrounds which are thus visible to the eye, and the tints of which are complementary. Alternatively, the positives may be tinted with the complementary colours. Alternatively, transparencies may be made and backed or covered with filters of complementary tints, or a stereoscope fitted with colour - filters or eyepieces may be used for viewing the black and white components of the stereo pair. Kinematograph and magic-lantern pictures may be viewed in this way. Also, the positive may be printed in printer's ink in newspapers, and the pictures cut out and mounted stereoscopically for viewing.

IPC: F23Q21/00
Filed: 1909-08-19
Granted: 1910-02-17
Abstract: 4218. Sparks, E. Aug. 19. Actuating valves and cocks.-In apparatus for lighting and extinguishing gas lamps automatically by varying the pressure in the mains, an auxiliary governor is used to control the admission of gas to the main piston or bell which actuates the gas cock. Fig. 1 shows one form of governor, in which the gas passes along the passage d to the underside of the weighted piston a, supported by a screw f. When the gas pressure is raised, the piston a rises so as to permit gas to flow through the port e to the main controller. In an alternative form, a mercury-seal governor c, Fig. 2, controls the admission of gas to a bell p which is connected to a conical valve s in the main supply pipe. When the gas pressure is raised, the weighted bell a rises, so as to allow gas to flow through the parts t, l, o to the bell p, which in turn raises the valve s so as to admit gas from the main pipe r directly to the bell p. The part l of the governor is guided by a rod l<1> and has a travelling mercury-seal connexion n, n' with the pipe o. The rise of the piston p actuates the gas cock x in a manner similar to that described in Specification 8690/08, the cock being connected to the main r by a branch pipe v, which also extends upwards to form a pilot-jet. If the cock is carried by the bell p, as described in the above-mentioned Specification, the guidetube may be provided with a travelling mercury seal similar to that shown for the governor. Fig. 3 shows another form of governor which may be used, the weighted bell a being raised by the gas so as to uncover the end of the pipe o. Specification 7567/08 is also referred to.
