Granted: 1913-11-06
Abstract: 28,062. Shaw, H. S. Hele-, Martineau, F. L., and Beacham, T. E. Dec. 5. Fluid relays.-A continuously - driven variable-delivery pump the delivery of which is controlled by a centrifugal governor hydraulically operates the throttle valve of an engine. The sleeve 2 of the centrifugal governor operates the spring-controlled bell-crank lever 1, to which is connected the stroke-varying member 4 of the variabledelivery pump 5, which is preferably of the type described in Specifications 12,574/09 and 9402/10, [both in Class 102(i), Pumps &c.]. The governor is driven through gear-wheels from the same shaft 8 as the pump. When the normal speed is exceeded the movement of the governor causes the pump to discharge liquid into the cylinder 9 and move the piston 10 against the action of the spring 12 and thereby close the throttle. If the engine should overrun, the piston is moved to its extreme position, the chamber 13 is exposed and the pumped liquid is by-passed into the storage tank 14. At speeds below the normal, the movement of the governor sleeve causes the pump to exhaust liquid from the cylinder 9 and consequently opens the throttle. In order to prevent the liquid from being entirely exhausted from the cylinder, a branch pipe 16, leading into the tank and provided with a non-return valve 17, constituting a small local circuit within the tank, is provided.

Granted: 1914-03-20
Abstract: 6858. Barnett, H. A. March 20. Paper bags, making.-Relates to a machine of the kind described in Specification 11,219/12 in which a blank is gathered and folded by the lowermost of a series of rolls, arranged in a vertical plane, which convey the blank past the gumming and folding devices. The invention consists of modifications of the gathering- rollers, and of the feeding, gumming, folding, and pressing devices, and also comprises means for carrying away and collecting the finished bags or envelopes. The blanks are arranged in a pile 12, Fig 2, on a frame d that is drawn upwards by a cable w attached to a counterweight. An even pressure is secured between the top blank and the gathering-rolls 14, 15 by a compensating-device consisting of coned rods n that pass through metal disks r which they pick up as the pile diminishes in the manner described in the above - mentioned Specification. Two of these compensating- devices are used in order to secure a more balanced action as compared with the feeding- device described in the above-mentioned Specification. The position of the pile of blanks on the frame d may be varied by means of a screw 10 which traverses the pile table 6. The gathering rollers, which also fold the blank across the middle, consist, as before, of a metal roll 14, Figs. 3 and 8, with a smooth surface, and another smooth metal roll 15 that has an inset 16 of rubber or similar material. The inset is in the form of a longitudinal strip, and, by its friction with the paper, picks up the top sheet at the desired time. A small freelyrotating roll 17 is mounted in the space between the larger rolls and prevents bunching of the paper. The folded blank is carried upwards by pairs of rollers 39, 40, Fig. 3, and its flaps are gummed by grooved wheels 26 rotating in gum-baths 20, Fig. 2, which are adjustably mounted in the machine frame. The gummed flaps are folded over by apparatus similar to that described in the above-mentioned Specification, but in the present invention the frame 43, holding part of the folding-device is pivoted to the side members of the frame of the machine and can be swung outwards slightly to remove a bag should it crumple and choke the machine. The side plates 42 over which the edge of the bag are folded are not movable laterally, as in the earlier invention, but are replaced by others of different widths for the different sizes of bags. The bag next passes between pressing- rolls 50, 51, Fig. 3, the folded flaps being pressed into grooves in the roller 51 by beads on the roller 50. This distributes the paste evenly and prevents creasing. A conveyer belt 56 next feeds the bag between two belts 58, 59 which pass over a curved plate 83. The belts press the bags and deliver them against a plate 119 with a grooved face, whence they fall on to a slowlymoving belt 103. The bags are spread out on the belt 103 and can be removed in bunches by hand.
