Title: Improvements in Apparatus or Machinery for Making Cigarettes.
Inventor: SWAN JOHN
Filed: 1905-11-10
Granted: 1906-11-08
Abstract: 23,148. Swan, J. Nov. 10. Cutting-up.-Relates to an apparatus for cutting tobacco, or continuous or long lengths of cigarette rod, or rods of wood, paper, metal, &c., into short lengths, and is specially applicable for use in connexion with the machine described in Specification No. 23,148, A.D. 1905, [Abridgment Class Tobacco]. -Each cutter consists of a. plate 60 with a central hole having cutting-edges, and the cutters are mounted in pairs on gridiron fingers or combs 63, 64, which can be slid towards and from one another by wedge-shaped cams 67, 68, so as to cause the cutters to move over one another. The cutters with their operating-cams &c. are mounted on a carriage 61, which carries feeding-tubes 49 for the cigarette rods, and is reciprocated through the mechanism 56, 57, 58 in the direction in which the rod is fed, the movement to the left in Fig.-1 being at the same speed as the feed of the cigarette rod, so that the cutters, which operate during their movement to the left, will make a clean transverse cut. The feeding-tubes 49 are interrupted to make room for the cutters. During the reciprocating movement of the carriage, the wedgeshaped cams 67 which operate the cutters slide between the plates 72 of a frame 77, which can be raised and lowered by cams 74 but is normally held in its mid-position by a spring 73, when the cutters 60 of each pair are also in their midpositions with their central apertures coincident. The operation of the cutters is effected during the movement of the carriage to the left as shown in Fig. 1 by the raising or lowering of the frame 77. Fig. 1 shows the machine provided with four pairs of suitably-spaced cutters 60 for operating. simultaneously on the same cigarette rod, and Fig. 3 shows that five cigarette rods may be cut simultaneously. The arrangement of the machine may, however, be varied in both these respects.

Title: An Improved Device for Working Electric Alarms in use with Doors Drawers and the like.
Inventor: IVES HERBERT EDWARD
Filed: 1907-02-18
Granted: 1907-11-28
Abstract: 3963. Ives, H. E. Feb. 18. Alarms, burglar and like. - In a burglar alarm attachment for doors &c., a metallic ball is caused to move relatively to its guides by its own inertia from its position of rest when the door is opened, and to make electric contact between two rails, thereby completing the circuit through the alarm. In Fig. 2, the ball is shown in its position of rest. The guides on which it runs are slightly inclined so that the ball normally rests on the insulated extensions g and against the stop h. When the door is moved towards the left, the inertia of the ball causes it to move relatively to the door and its guides, so that it passes on to the uninsulated parts b of the guides, and makes electric contact between them so as to complete the circuit through the alarm. The parts b are made in gutter shape, or may be formed of a split tube the halves of which are insulated from each other. A hand switch is provided in order that the alarm may be cut out when not required.

Title: Improvements in and connected with the Production and Detection of Electric Oscillations.
Inventor: THOMPSON WILLIAM PHLLIPS
Filed: 1907-06-22
Granted: 1908-07-22
Abstract: 14,451. Thompson, W. P., [Ges. f³r drahtlose Telegraphie]. June 22. Induction meters; testing.-Apparatus for tuning and testing the circuits of wireless telegraph stations is applicable for measuring electromagnetic wave-lengths or coupling coefficients. A circuit I, Fig. 1, is tuned to a transmitting-circuit by varying the inductance of coils a or b or the capacity of a condenser c until a maximum effect is shown by the detector i, which may be a vacuum tube containing rarefied air or other gas such as helium. For tuning a receiving circuit, the circuit I is caused to act as a transmitter by closing a switch g in an exciting-circuit II, which is connected across the condenser c and includes a battery d and an electromagnetic interrupter f, the coils of which are shunted by a non-inductive resistance h to prevent sparking. The circuit II and the detector i may be inductively coupled to the circuit I. Damping in the oscillation circuit I is reduced to a minimum as that circuit contains neither spark-gap, interrupter, nor source of current. A constructional form of the apparatus arranged in a casing is shown in Fig. 2. The variable condenser c consists of two intercalated sets of plates, one set being fixed while the other set is mounted on a shaft which is provided with a handle and with a pointer moving over a scale of wave lengths. The coil a, which may be interchangeable with coils of different inductance, is mounted concentrically above an aperture through which the vacuum - tube i is inspected, and serves to shut off light from the outside. The coil b is provided with flexible connexions so that it can be brought near the system to be examined. The switch g is pivoted on the top of the casing and can be turned into engagement with the contact l so as to close the circuit II permanently, or can be turned so as to lie just above a shorter contact k, in which position it can be used as a key.

Title: An Improved Sheet Feeding and Gumming Device for Machines for Making Paper-bags and the like.
Inventor: HESSER OTTO
IPC: B31B19/62
Filed: 1909-01-12
Granted: 1909-09-16
Abstract: 780. Hesser, O. Jan. 12. Feeding sheets.-To simplify the construction of machines for making paper packets, bags, &c., the gum-applying pad is caused also to feed the sheets from a pile to a conveyer which carries the sheet to the finishing-mechanism, the pad passing over a fixed gumming-roller arranged between the conveyer and the fixed pile table in its ordinary return movement to the pile table. The sheets are fed from a pile b which is automatically raised by ratchet mechanism, and the gumming-pad 2 receives a combined vertical and horizontal reciprocating movement through cams 6 on shafts 5 and through links. As the pad 2 moves to the left, it passes over a revolving gumming-roller 9, and the pad moves on to the pile. The pad is then raised from the pile, and, to ensure the raising of only one sheet at a time, the sheets raised by the pad are engaged by a set of brushes with steel or other bristles 15, Fig. 8, preferably out obliquely and mounted in holders 16 pivotally supported on pins 17. The pad 2 carries the sheet to a conveyer 3, and, as the sheet passes over the gumming roller 9, a guard 10 prevents the sheet from touching the roller. The guard 10 is mounted in arms concentric with the roller 9, and is reciprocated from a cam 13 on a shaft 5 to allow the pad 2 to contact with the roller 9 on its return to feed another sheet.
