Title: Improvements in or relating to Mechanism for Making Box Blanks.
Inventor: BOULT ALFRED JULIUS
Filed: 1905-08-08
Granted: 1906-01-18
Abstract: 16,139. Boult, A. J., [National Wire Bound Box Co.]. Aug. 8. Stapling.-In a machine for making wire-bound box blanks, the stapling-mechanism is carried by a travelling frame. The cleats are held between step-mitred blocks 78, Figs. 10 and 13, formed preferably in two halves capable of sliding on the guide 75 fixed to the L-shaped assembling-bar 74. The sheets are placed above the cleats, against the inner edges of the bars 74 and between the pins 81. When they are placed on the table 85, Figs. 1 and 2, pins 86 are engaged by catches 87, and the sliding carriage draws the bars along laterally adjustable channel guides, until spring catches spring into openings in the sides of the bars. As shown in Fig. 1, the finger 66 has contacted with the stop 69, thereby raising the wedge 68 to force the clutch members 58, 59, Fig. 6, on the shaft 45 into engagement, so that the shaft rotates and, pinions 46. Fig. 6, mounted on it and engaging with the racks 26 on the sides of the machine, cause the sliding carriage to move to the left. At the same time, the rod 37 is raised into the path of a projecting arm 36 against the resistance of the spring 73 by a cam carried by the sleeve which carries the finger 66. The arm 36 is fixed to the end of a semicircular rod forming part of an ordinary clutch between the pulley 35 and the shaft 33, which is then thrown out of engagement. Also the underside of a weighted pawl 51, Fig. 2, has slid over a stop 55, being thereby swung away from the ratchet-wheel 47 on the shaft 45, and its finger 52 is held by the spring catch 53. When the travelling carriage reaches the other end of the machine, the finger 66 contacts with the stop 70, Fig. 1, causing the wedge 68 to be pulled down to release the clutch members on the shaft 45 and permitting the rod 37 to be pressed down by its spring out of engagement with the clutch arm 36, thus leaving the shaft 33 free to rotate. The sliding engagement of the stop 57, Fig. 2, with the pawl 51 throws it into engagement with the ratchet-wheel 47, so that the rotation of the shaft 33 gives the carriage an intermittent return motion. The parts are so arranged that the staples are driven by stapling-heads mounted on the sliding carriage and actuated from eccentrics on the shaft 33, while the carriage is stationary, the central line of staples being clinched in a groove in the top of an I-bar. To hold down warped sheets, spring rods extending the full length of the machine are pressed down on them by grooved wheels. The groove 43 terminates short of the end of the machine, where a shaft is mounted in bearings pressed downwardly by springs and carries a clinching-roller, which clinches the staples as the blank is pushed out of the machine by another being fed in. If a plunging clincher is employed, the clinching-roller and the groove in the I-bar may be dispensed with.

Abstract: 22,124. Freeman, C. M. Oct. 30. Bevel-gearing ; shafts and shafting.-The dental hand-piece described in Specification No. 26,272, A.D. 1903, [Abridgment Class Medicine &c.], in which the tool is driven by a helical, flexible coupling working in a casing consisting of a slightly curved neck portion and a sharply curved head which may be turned relatively to one another, is modified by the substitution for part of the helical coupling of bevel-gearing mounted in the sharply curved head. The bevel-wheel 20 is driven by the flexible coupling 4, and is held in place by means of the shoulder 22, which is confined between the end 16 of the head and the member 11 of the union coupling 12. Meshing with the wheel 20 is a gear-wheel 25, Figs. 1 and 3, which is formed with a tubular step 27 carrying a rigidlymounted collar 28, between which and the head of the gear-wheel is loosely mounted a bearing-plug 30 adapted to screw into the casing. The collars 28, 30 are formed with wrench holes 31 to enable the latter to be screwed into place. Finally, a screw plug 32, with means for locking the tool in place, is used to confine the bevel-wheel in mesh with its companion wheel.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Smoke-consuming Furnaces.
Inventor: FULTON JOHN SCHWARTZ SAMUEL
Filed: 1905-11-28
Granted: 1906-08-30
Abstract: 24,620. Fulton, J. S. S. April 10, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Baffles and arches; smoke-consuming.-In a furnace having an inclined step grate, horizontal and vertical partitions 9, 10 enclose a chamber above the grate, wherein the smoke and gases arising from the fuel are heated by contact with the partitions prior to escaping beneath the partition 10 to the passage 12 leading to the combustion chamber 13 beneath a water-tube boiler. The gases are mixed with air which is heated in passages within the partitions and supplied above the grate through openings 16 in the partition 9, and openings in the lower end of the partition 10. A rear partition 11 also restricts the passage 12 and reflects heat upon the partition 10 and upon the lower end of the grate. In a modification, Fig. 3, the partitions 9, 10 are not provided with air passages, which are, in this case, arranged in the front of the furnace at 19.

Abstract: 26,780. Crone, J., Taylor, D. C., and Williams, F. Dec. 22. Drawings to Specification. Manures.-The process described in Specification No. 5618, A.D. 1905, for obtaining a manure from waste animal substances such as shoddy, hide, and leather scraps, by treatment with sulphuric acid in a rotary furnace, is modified by using brine to remove excess of sulphuric acid. The materials to be treated are moistened and then fed into the furnace, where they are sprayed with the acid, mixed with it by rotation, and the mixture heated. Brine is afterwards added and the mixing and heating continued. In some cases, and especially when leather waste is used, crushed phosphate of lime, gypsum, or chalk is added before the brine. The product is ground into powder before use.

Title: Improvements in or connected with Measuring and Stamping Lengths of Fabrics or the like, and Apparatus therefor.
Inventor: KIRBY THOMAS
Filed: 1906-02-26
Granted: 1906-12-13
Abstract: 4632. Kirby, T. Feb. 26. Printing fabrics.-Relates to a device for stamping measurement marks on fabrics &c. At one end of a measuring-table A, Figs. 1, 2, and 4, is fixed a hand-lever B mounted on a shaft C actuating the stamping-dial D. This dial 4 has spaces E for the numerals or trade-mark stamps on its under surface, and is mounted on a bracket F secured to the table at a given distance from the measurement mark B'. In the bracket is a recess carrying a pressing-piece G with a depending foot G<1> which engages with a lever H on the shaft C. Mounted on the bracket F is a device for feeding the paint &c. to the numerals, consisting of a brush or roller J<1>, Fig. 5, mounted in a receptacle J. The operation is as follows : The dial D is rotated until the lowest numeral is over the edge of the fabric, this movement supplying paint to the numerals. The end of the fabric is then drawn along the table up to the mark B' and the lever B is pressed outwards. This actuates the lever H so that the piece G presses the fabric up to stamp it. The return movement of the hand-lever, caused by the spring B<2>, actuates a pawl K on the shaft C which engages ratchet teeth on the dial D and turns it round to the next figure. A second pawl L mounted on the bracket L<1> locks the dial and prevents its rotation during the stamping operation. A further locking-device is furnished by the entry into a hole in the dial D of the pin M actuated by the striking-lever N. The fabric is then drawn along the table until the last marked portion is over the mark B', and the series of operations is repeated. A guide O is fixed to keep the edge of the fabric in position during marking. The numerals not in use may be kept from marking the fabric by suitable shields, or the table may be curved so that the fabric falls away rapidly from the stamp. In a modification, a cylindrical table is employed for this purpose.
