[Also in Group XXIV] In a machine for printing or typing on a web which is cut into form lengths, a phase-adjusting coupling between a helical driving gear 58 and a driven paper feed shaft 10 comprises a gear member 36 having external helical teeth meshing with the driving gear 58 and having internal straight or helical teeth 38 adapted to engage corresponding straight or helical teeth 35 on a member 33 secured to the driven shaft 10, control means being provided for moving the member 36 axially to effect phase adjustment. The member 36 has a reduced neck 39 which is engaged by one bifurcated end 40 of a pivoted lever 41 the other bifurcated end 44 of which is engaged between flanges 45a formed on an adjusting sleeve 45 which is mounted for axial movement upon a fixed pin 46. The sleeve 45 has an axial slot 49 in which is mounted a pivoted lever 51 which has a threaded end portion 53 which is adapted to engage a screw-threaded portion 48 of the pin 46. Rotation of the sleeve 45, by means of a knob 55, when the threaded portion 53 is in engagement with the screw thread 48 effects fine adjustment of the coupling. For coarse adjustment, the threaded portion 53 is disengaged and the sleeve 45 pushed along the pin 46 until the portion 53 rests on the plain portion 47, thereby effecting disengagement of the member 36 from the member 33 so that the shaft 10 can be rotated by hand. The driving helical gear 58 is adjustably mounted on a pivoted slotted lever 61. The machine has a transparent guard cover and gearing covers 30 which, when in position, are arranged to close switches in the circuit of an electric motor so that, for safety purposes, the motor cannot be operated with the covers in their open positions. The drive for the cutting blade and intermittent drive for the feed shaft are obtained from a gearing as described in Specification 900,594.

Title: Improvements relating to Electrostatic Generators.
Inventor: MORRIS DAVID KING
IPC: H02N1/00
Filed: 1917-02-24
Abstract: 114,174. Morris, D. K. Feb. 24, 1917. Influence machines. -The mutual repulsion of charged particles or carriers in electrostatic generators is utilized to limit the voltage generated. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, particles of ,sand or other carriers leave an earthed receptacle a by a nozzle b which is surrounded by an insulated and negatively charged ring c. The carriers thus positively charged fall normally into the positive receiver d but, if excessively charged, they are deflected by mutual repulsion so as to pass outside the receiver d. The ring c is extended below the receiver d to discharge such carriers. The lucing field is thereby weakened and the receiver d is maintained at a constant voltage. The apparatus may be made symmetrical about an horizontal axis so that it can be used with either end uppermost. In a modified apparatus, the particles falling from the receiver d as well as those deflected outside it may fall into an earthed funnel, whose orifice is surrounded by a ring connected with the receiver d. The apparatus may be constructed to facilitate the return of the particles of sand etc.; for continuous operation, it may be made rotatable about an horizontal axis. To limit the voltage of other types of influence machine, the receiver above described may be connected to the exciter or other part of the machine.
