Title: Improvements in or relating to Cutting and Severing Machines for Fabrics, Leather, Paper and the like.
IPC: C14B5/00
Filed: 1910-11-15
Granted: 1911-11-15
Abstract: 26,510. Mills & Co., E., and Bull, K. B. Nov. 15. Feeding webs.-In a machine for cutting web material transversely to its length, the material is fed intermittently by feed members adapted to be reciprocated through a distance corresponding to the maximum length of feed, devices co-operating with the feed-members are employed to vary the length of the feed, and presser devices adjacent to the cutting- mechanism serve to clamp the material during the cutting operation and during the return of the feed-members. The material 21<a>, supported on a spring - controlled roll 21, is fed to the cutters by serrated gripper members 12 pivoted on blocks 3 horizontally reciprocated from a driving-shaft 10. The grippers 12 grip and feed the material during their forward movement but are adapted to ride loosely over the material in their return movement. These grippers are provided with rollers &c. 15, which, by engagement with adjustable bars 14, Fig. 5, serve to keep the grippers from engagement with the material for a certain distance of their stroke corresponding to the variations in the length to be fed. The material is conducted through a guide provided with laterally adjustable sides, and the gripper members descend on the material by gravity or under the influence of springs &c. Resiliently-mounted presser-feet, carried by the cutter cross-head 34, serve to clamp the material in advance of, and during, the cutting operation, this being also the time of the return movement of the feed-members.

Title: An Improved Arrangement for Applying Forced Draught to the Grates of Furnaces.
Inventor: BENNIS ALFRED WILLIAM
IPC: F23H11/10
Filed: 1910-12-28
Granted: 1911-11-02
Abstract: 30,050. Bennis, A. W. Dec. 28. Air supply, regulating. - Relates to improvements in apparatus for applying forced draught to furnaces, of the type in which a number of chambers are arranged transversely beneath the grate and serve to supply the air to the various parts of the furnace. The Figures show the invention applied to a chaingrate furnace 2, beneath the upper run of which t h e transverse air-supplying chambers 1, open at the top, are provided. Air from a supply tank 18 passes into heating-chambers 12, arranged along the sides of the furnace, the walls thereof near the furnace preferably having ribs 13 to increase the heating effect. The air from these chambers passes through branch pipes 8 with valves 4 therein to the chambers 1. The pipes 3 at the ends of the chambers 1 project on one side through the wall of the furnace and have air-tight doors 7 for the removal of ashes or for admission of air to the chambers, for working under natural draught. At the other side, the pipes 3 communicate through valves 10, which are normally closed, with branch pipes 9 leading to the ash-pit. To discharge the ashes from the chambers 1, the valves 4 on the same side of the furnace as the pipes 9 are closed, those on the other side, as well as the valves 10, being open. The air current then blows out the ashes through the pipes 9. The connexion between the pipes 3 and the chambers 1 at the points 16 is preferably made readily disconnectible to enable the grate to be removed.
