Abstract: 750. Dowling, J. Jan. 12. Bending.-Sheets of paper or parchment are folded in a machine to form linings for tins or other vessels, for packing meat, fish, &c., or for other purposes. The paper to be folded is laid between two perforated plates d, e pivoted together and mounted on the table of the machine. The upper plate d is formed with radial ribs on the under surface, and around the hole in the plate e are a number of projections between which are recesses corresponding to blades on the plunger. Above the table is arranged the plunger, carried by a rod b<1> and coup'ed by links to a hand-operated counterbalanced lever a<2>. The plunger consists of a disc, to which blades c<1> are pivoted, the blades being coupled by links c<2> to a sleeve c<3> mounted to slide on the rod b<1>. A table f below the plates d, e is supported on a standard, and is surrounded by a folding cylinder g notched at the upper end. A rib g<1> on each side of the cylinder g is engaged on the bottom side by a roller, and on the top side by a hook i<2> both supported by a pivoted lever h<1>. A sliding block h<3> on an extension of the lever h<1> is coupled to arms h<4> on a rocking shaft h<5> operated by a handle h<6>. In operation, the plunger is depressed, and pushes the sheet of paper, placed between the plates d, e, down upon the table f, the blades c forcing the paper into the recesses round the hole in the plate e. The handle h<6> is then operated to raise the cylinder g and fold the paper. Simultaneously, a bar k on a lever k<1>, coupled to an arm on the shaft h<5> by a link k<2>, engages a pivoted lever l coupled to the sleeve c<3>, so as to withdraw the blades c' and prevent them from being caught in the notches at the top of the cylinder g. A pin g<2> on the cylinder g engages a slot in a standard g<4>, the slot being so arranged that as the cylinder is raised, it is rotated for the purpose of folding down the pleats in the paper, which have been caught in the notches in the cylinder g. On the rise of the plunger, the lever l strikes a stop l<3>, and the blades c' are opened out ready for the next operation.

Granted: 1904-11-03
Abstract: 27,205. Bardsley, P. C. Dec. 11. Motor road vehicles. - Relates to epicyclic speed and reversing gearing for motor cars &c. A disc 1, Fig. 1, is keyed to the driven shaft 2 and carries planet pinions 4 which gear with the loose sun-wheel 5, to the boss 6 of which is secured a drum 7 carrying lugs 8. Pivoted on the lugs are spring-pressed levers 9 which carry pulley segments 11 and pivoted clutch surfaces 10 engaging with similar surfaces 18 on the loose driving-pulley 17, the whole forming a clutch A. A similar clutch B is secured to the boss 16 of the outer toothed ring 13. Brake bands 19 are adapted to press upon the pulley segments 11. If both bands 19 are released, the clutches A, B are in gear and the whole runs solid. If the band 19 is applied to the clutch A, the clutch is disengaged and the sun 5 held stationary, giving a lower gear. If the clutch B is similarlyreleased,the toothed ring 13 is held, giving the lowest gear. A free engine is obtained by releasing both clutches. One or more of the clutch surfaces 10 may be replaced by a positive clutch, which is engaged by further releasing the brake band 19 after the brake segments 10 have engaged. To obtain a reverse speed, the arrangement shown in Fig. 3 is used, a differential gearing E being used to connect two shafts 2, 200 in line. The shafts 3 of the planet-wheels 4 revolve in the case 26 of the gear E, and secured to the wheels 4 on the ends of the shafts 3 are wheels 40 which gear with a loose toothed wheel 50 secured to a sleeve 51 carrying standards 61, on which are mounted levers 62 carrying pulley segments 55. By the application of a brake band to the segments, the wheel 50 is held still, and chains 56 pull back the spring-pressed revolving ring 64, clutch 52, and the sliding pins 53 which normally lock together the boss 16 of the outer ring 13 and the drum 7. The ring 13 is thus released, and a reversal of motion obtained. In the modification shown in Fig. 2, two sets of sunwheels 5, planet-wheels 4, and outer rings 13 are used. In one gear, the driving-pulley 17 is secured to the ring 13, and the planet disc 1 is secured to the sun of the other gear, the second planet disc driving the shaft. The clutch B is attached to the ring 13 and engages with the disc 1 of the second gear. When the clutch A is released, a lower gear is obtained. When the clutch B is released, a still lower gear is obtained. When both clutches are released, the lowest gear is obtained.
