Patent GB-234528-A (GB)
IPC: D06B3/10
Filed: 1925-05-26
Abstract: 234,528. Campion, P. May 26, 1924, [Convention date]. Void [Published under Sect. 91 of the Act]. Coating-machines. - Sheets, e.g. clichÚs or stencils used in duplicating, are lifted from a pile 19 by adhesive pads or bars 3 carried by conveyer belts 1, dipped into coating material in a bath 6, dried and then delivered on to a pile 24. The bars 3 are counterweighted so that the adhesive pads are normally at the side, but guides 20 turn the bars over above the pile 19 so that the pads touch the end of the uppermost sheet and carry it up an incline 7 and over rollers 8 which have a circumferential velocity greater than that of the belts 1. The sheets are thereby curved and immersed in the bath 6. As it leaves the bath each sheet passes over a roller 9 which secures that the coating is uniform. For the drying operation the belts are given an inclined sinusoidal path so that moisture will not drip from one sheet to another. An abutment 22 turns the bars as they pass the pile 24 so as to free the sheet which is retained on the pile by slight pressure, by hand or automatic, in the direction of the arrow F. The adhesive pads may be fixed by screws into recesses in the bars 3 or as shown in Fig. 5. The pads 16 may be screwed to washers 15 which move in recesses in the bars under the pressure of springs 17. The sheets may be held against the pads by blades 26, Fig. 6, on levers 25 fixed to a shaft 4 extending the length of the bar 3. The shaft is held by a, spring in positions in which the sheets are gripped or released, motion from one portion to the other being secured by abutments engaging with a tappet on the shaft 4. In an alternative arrangement, a needie projecting through the pad permanently engages only the topmost sheet of the pile. In a third form, Fig. 11, a flexible needle 39 is fixed to a shaft 37 movable longitudinally in the cross-bar 3, the needle reaching the surface of the pad or projecting beyond according to the position of the shaft 37 which is governed by contact with cams 41.
