Inventor: JEE HENRY ALBERT
IPC: B43K23/00
Filed: 1911-03-07
Granted: 1911-10-19
Abstract: 5688. Jee, H. A. March 7. Pockets, retaining pens in.-A device for preventing the loss of a fountain pen comprises a sheath 1, Fig. 1, attached to the inside of the pocket by a chain 2 and safety-pin 3.

Granted: 1911-07-19
Abstract: 5797. Morrison, L. E. July 19, 1910. Tripping - arrangements. - Relates to electrically - controlled means for automatically tripping the impression of a platen press should a sheet fail to be fed, which automatically ceases to act as soon as the feed is continued. The sheets are fed from a table 53, over a series of tapes on a frame 55 to the platen 36, and on the way pass between pivoted electric contacts 192, oscillated by an arm 196 and a flexible connexion 195, and stationary contacts below the path of the sheet. The contacts are in circuit with an electro-magnet 200 carried on the hand tripping-lever 178. Pivoted on this lever is a latch 202, which, when the magnet is excited, is attracted into engagement with a notch in a reciprocating bar 205 clamped to the press side arms 47. The lever is thus moved to the right into the position shown, and by means of the link 180 an arm 183 is rocked to operate a bell-crank 186 and thereby rotate the eccentric bearing of the shaft 189. On the return stroke, the stud 207 on the arm 205 resets the lever 178.

Abstract: 8722. Newman & Guardia, Walters, E. C., and Mason, P. G. April 12. Shutters with pivoting blades.-The detentlever of the shutter is directly operated by one of three projections on a lever, according as an instantaneous bulb or time exposure is required. The spring-controlled lever r carrying the projections q<1>, q<2>, q<3> is longitudinally slidable to bring the required projection opposite one end o of the detent-lever, the other end of which may engage notches p<1>, p<2>, or p<3> in a plate e carried by the pivoted shutter-blade a, b. On engaging the end o of the detentlever with the projection q<1> by pressing the push-button w, the end o mounts the projection withdrawing the other end of the detent-lever from the notch p<1> or p<3> and preventing it from entering the notch p<2>, so that an instantaneous exposure is obtained. A bulb exposure is obtained with the projection q<2>, as the end o falls behind the projection, and the other end of the detent-lever engages the notch p<2>, being withdrawn therefrom on release of the pushbutton w. A time exposure is obtained with the projection q<3> which allows the other end of the detent-lever to enter the notch p<2>, but being doubly inclined as indicated also allows the end o to swing outwards, so that a second operation of the button w is necessary to release the detent-lever from the notch p<2>. The shutter is set by moving one arm g<1> or g<2> of a coil-spring f to an end position by means of a pin h, the other arm resting against a stop k on the shutter blade. The shutter is controlled by a dash-pot.

Abstract: 29,336. Lupton & Place, and Riley, W. Dec. 20. Brake mechanism.-In order to stop the loom with the lay at the back centre when the weft stop-motion causes the connecting-rod m, Fig. 1, to move downwards so that the brake-lever f may apply the brake f<1>, a rod k is provided which allows a stop-device or lever h to be moved by a spring into the path of a stud, bowl, or projection g on a bracket g<1> on the gear-wheel b on the low shaft a, the lever h being thereby moved endways on a fixed stud i, whereby the spring is stressed. The forward end of the lever h is thus drawn downwards, and by means of the rod k the lever f is caused to apply additional brake pressure at the desired time. A check strap n is employed as a buffer or check additional to the spring j. The apparatus may be used in conjunction with pick-finding mechanism. In a modification, the rod m, Fig. 2, has a collar m<2>, whereby a lever h adjustably pivoted on a slotted bellcrank lever o is normally held out of the path of the projection g, but is moved by a spring p into the path thereof when the rod m descends. The bell-crank lever o is thereupon rocked, and, by means of a rod k, causes additional pressure to be placed on the brake-lever f.
