Abstract: 1746. Fischer, E. Jan. 25. Platen presses; feeding sheets.-Relates to means for preventing an impression when a, sheet or envelope &c. is not fed to the machine. Fig. 1 shows a partial side elevation of a machine in which the types are in a carriage 2 reciprocated in a pivoted bed 1, raised to impress the types against the platen 3 by a cam 5, on a shaft 4, engaging a roller 6 on an eccentric bolt or shaft 7 in the bed 1. On the shaft 7 is a lever 8 operated to turn the shaft and prevent the impression. To the lever 8 is pivoted a rod 9 engaging a lever 11 pivoted at 10. The sheets &c. are fed to the type box by any suitable means, such as grippers x, and pass under a detecting-device consisting of a table 25 having slots 26 through which blades 27 may pass when no sheet is present. The blades 27 are on an arm of a sleeve 23 having another arm 22 to which is pivoted a rod 21 engaging a pin 20 on an arm 18 pivoted on a standard 19. The arm 18 has a roller 17 on which runs a hooked rod 16 pivoted on an arm 12 pivoted at 13 and rocked by a cam 15 on the shaft 4 and a spring 36. The blades 27 are lowered by a rod 29, lever 30, and cam 32, and are raised into the slots 26, when the absence of a sheet permits, by a weight 33. When the blades 27 are so raised, the arm 18 and rod 16 are lowered, so that the hook on the rod 16 engages a hook 35 on the lever 11. A projection b on the cam 15 operates the rod 16, lever 11, rod 9, and lever 8 to prevent the impression.

Abstract: 5152. Krotz, L. E., and Schindler, R. March 11. Crescent-shaped chamber type.-Improvements in rotary steam or other expansive fluid-pressure engines are shown in the figures as applied to a reversible compound engine. The rotating cylinder 5 is mounted on journals 3, 4, and has a fixed partition 9 and a movable partition 9<1>, between which a diaphragm 17 is placed so as to form high and low pressure chambers. Piston drums 20, 21 are eccentrically mounted within the chambers on a shaft 22, and are formed with recesses containing sliding pistons 41<a>. Lugs 41<e> project from the sides of the pistons into grooves in the adjoining walls, and regulate the sliding motion of the pistons, which are fitted with packing-strips 41<b>. The steam-chest 14 is connected through the hollow trunnion 4 to the box bearing 24, which supports the ported end 25 of the hollow shaft 22. The shaft 22 has a toothed wheel 36, which gears with the toothed partition 9<1> and drives the cylinder, which carries a toothed annulus 72, by which a governor 66 is driven. The governor is mounted on the bearing 24, and controls an oscillating flap or valve 26, which regulates the opening of the port 25 and the cut-off. The shaft 22 has two transverse partitions 49, which separate two pairs of admission and exhaust ports 46, 46'. The piston drums are correspondingly divided into supply and exhaust portions 39, 40, and the steam, after entering the first portion 39, passes into the cylinder through a passage or groove 44, Fig. 12, in the piston. The steam exhausts through a corre sponding groove on the opposite side of the piston into the shaft 22, and then into the low-pressure cylinder. Each piston 41<a>, Fig. 12, has four grooves 44, which are in duplicate and controlled by reversing valves 50,51. The valves are reversed by means of a handle 62, connecting-links 61, and slide 60. The slide is connected to the reversing-valves by links 54 passing through the ports in the shaft 22. The admission valve is fitted with a reversing-lever 32.
