Title: Improved Arrangement for Automatically Regulating Machines for Folding Linen, Paper, Fabrics, and other Materials.
Inventor: COLLON EUGENE LOUIS
IPC: B65H45/101
Filed: 1910-12-05
Granted: 1911-05-11
Abstract: 28,269. Collon, E. L. Dec. 16, 1909, [Convention date]. [Addition to 9957/08.] Cuttling, folding, &c.-In a machine for folding linen, paper, fabrics, and other materials as described in the parent Specification, in which folder-cam regulating-mechanism is controlled by an object supported by the article to be folded, the object rolls only on one border of the article, and a pawl mechanism is actuated thereby to control the cam mechanism through a toothed wheel and ratchet gear shown in Fig. 2. The articles may be fed to a second machine which folds them in a second direction by travelling bands, Fig. 4. The cam-regulating mechanism, Fig. 2, is controlled by a pawl carried on one end of the lever 17 pivoted on the pin 18, the other arm 19 of the lever 17 supports the pivoted lever 31. The lever 31 is fitted with a short tube or roller 33 and a pawl 35. When the roller 33 is no longer supported by a serviette or the like, the pawl 35 engages the ratchet 36 and the epicyclic gear mounted on the auxiliary driven shaft 37 causes the cam 54 to rock the levers 48, 50 thereby raising the hooked end of the lever 17, 19 and releasing the cam-regulating gear described in the before-mentioned Specification. The arm 19 and the roller 33 are kept raised to allow another article to be inserted and are lowered by a cam acting on the lever 17. The serviette &c. folded in one direction is passed through to the grid 58, which includes a driven roller 59. The roller 60 is lowered in synchronism with the first machine, and the article passes between two travelling bands to the feed-table of a second folding - machine. This feeding - mechanism may be used in conjunction with a folding-machine and a drying, ironing, or any other machine.

Abstract: 22,629. Malkemaskine - kompagniet Patent Gandil. Oct. 17, 1910, [Convention date]. Cow-milkers.-A stripping action is produced in a pneumatically-operated teat-press comprising a celluloid casing 5 supported on a bracket 14 and having a fixed member 6, by attaching the moving member 7 to a piston 12 actuated intermittently, and retarding the lower part by means of a smaller piston 17 having a constant pressure applied to its inner face. During the first movement, the member 7 turns about a 'hinge' formed by two open hooks 26, 25, the arm 23 turning about its pivot 22 and the pin 10. fixed to the member 7, approaching the top of the slot 24. When the pressure becomes sufficient, the member 7 turns about the point of contact with the teat, drawing the piston 17 forwards by the links 19 and separating the hooks 26, 25. The turning of the arm 23 gives a slight downward movement. When the pressure on the piston 12 is released by the pulsator, the pressure on the piston 17 returns the parts to their original position.

Abstract: 21,057. Petermann, O. Oct. 5, 1911, [Convention date]. Letter-spacing mechanism.-Relates to escapement-mechanism of the kind described in Specification 1440/10, in which a rocker carries a fast dog and a pivoted loose dog, and comprises the provision in connexion with the loose dog of two independently acting helical springs, one spring actuating the dog and the other spring being arranged as part of a device for adjusting the throw of the dog and being adapted to permit the dog to yield during carriagereturn. In the arrangement shown, the rocker 44 carries a fast dog 55 and a pivoted loose dog 60 provided with a pin 63, Fig. 3, engaging a lever 65, which is pivoted at 68 to the rocker and is formed with a tail 70 adapted to engage an abutment 71 on the rocker. A helical spring 64 connects the pin 63 to an arm 67 on the lever and a helical spring 73 connects the end 72 of the lever to the rocker. The spring 73 throws the loose dog when this is released from the rack 58, the throw being adjusted by filing or hammering the tail of the lever. The rocker is provided with a series of holes 74 for adjusting the tension of the spring 74. The tension of the spring 64 may be adjusted by similar means. The spring 64 normally moves bodily with the lever but extends to permit the loose dog to yield during carriage-return. The spring 73 may be stronger than the spring 64. The loose dog is formed with a stop-shoulder 75 which can engage a stop-finger 76 formed on the rocker. The rocker is pivoted at 44<a> under the carriage-bed and is guided by a slotted bracket 54. The universal bar operates an arm which engages a bendable part 45, Fig. 5, on the rocker, this part being bent backwards or forwards to adjust the normal position of the rocker. The returning-spring 48 of the rocker is adjustably attached at one end to a serrated lug 51 on the rocker, the other end of the spring being attached to a stud on the carriage-bed.

Abstract: 26,523. Schoenfeld, M. Nov. 19. Cutting-out embroidery. -In a machine for cutting fabric along an embroidered edge, the main portion of the fabric is fed by means which stretch it in the direction of feed, and is cut by a rotary dished knife 9. The fabric is fed over a plate 16 on the table 2<a> by rollers 17, 18. 19 20 in resilient bearings in a fork 21 secured to the bracket 3. The rollers 17 to 20 are driven by worms 23 and worm-wheels 22, Fig. 6, which are connected to the roller shafts by coupling parts 38, 41 and a belt 29. The peripheral speed of the rollers is increased in the direction of feed, by progressively decreasing the number of teeth in the worm - wheels, or increasing the diameters of the rollers. The fabric enters over a plush-covered roller 42, which can be moved axially by means of a handle 60<b> secured to a ring 60 encircling an end plate 42<a>. The ring 60 may also be used as a brake. The edge of the fabric is passed under a guide 46 secured to the table 2<a> and having a flange 46<a>, Fig. 3<a>, between which and the roller 42 only the non- embroidered portion of the fabric can pass. The knife 9 is carried by an adjustable vertical shaft 5 rotating in bearings 4, 4<1> on the bracket 3, and is covered by a guard 10 with an opening 11 above the cutting-point. Adjacent to the knife is a narrow slot between the circular bevelled edge 13<a> of an adjustable plate 13, and a guide 15 below the knife and connected to the plate 13. The edge 13<a> has a rim 13<b>, and the non- embroidered portion of the fabric is guided into the slot by a leaf 15<a> secured to the guide 15. The strip severed by the knife passes down through the slot and over a pivotally-adjustable conical roller 53 to a drum 54 beneath the table, while the rest of the fabric passes out over a roller 43.
