Title: Improvements in Machinery for Cutting and Punching Box and Carton Blanks of Paper or other Material, Specially Applicable for Use in Connection with Printing and like Machinery
Filed: 1901-04-30
Granted: 1902-07-30
Abstract: 8911. Lever Bros. April 30. Cutting and perforating apparatus.-Relates to machinery for cutting and punching box and carton blanks of paper &c., and is specially applicable for use in connection with printing and like machinery. Reference is made to the Specification No. 487, A.D. 1895. The blanks, which have been scored and printed in a rotary or platen press, are passed either automatically or by hand through punching and cutting devices for the purpose of removing the "salvage" or superfluous parts and trimming the edges of the blanks. The apparatus consists of two shafts b, c of which the upper one carries edge trimmers d and punches e, and the lower one a drum f which may be of various forms. In Fig. 2 the drum f carries edge trimmers d corresponding with those on the upper shaft and is provided with recesses g in positions corresponding with the punches e and containing metal blocks i beneath which are resilient buffers on springs h of india-rubber, metal, &c., the parts being held in position by stops j. The waste pieces forced into the recesses by two punches are subsequently forced out therefrom by the resilient buffers. In a modification, a drum f with recesses corresponding in position with the punches may be surrounded with a sheet of india-rubber, which is clamped in position by means of a longitudinal bar and by recesses in the inner faces of the cutters d. Or the drum may be hollow and rotate about an eccentric shaft on which are mounted loose hoods carrying plungers sliding in openings corresponding to g, which pass completely through the shell of the drum. The waste pieces removed from the blanks are forced from the apertures by the plungers during the rotation of the drum. Or the waste pieces may be forced into the interior of the hollow drum f, whence they are continuously removed by an exhaust fan.

Title: Means for Electrically Controlling and Igniting and Extinguishing Gas from a Distance.
Inventor: BORCHARDT HUGO
Filed: 1901-05-02
Granted: 1901-07-27
Abstract: 9097. Borchardt, H. May 2. Actuating gas valves and cocks.-In electrically controlling gas cocks, and in electrically lighting gas burners, from a distance, the plug of the gas cock is arranged to turn continuously in one direction, so that, as it is turned in one direction to different positions, at 90‹ to each other, it alternately closes and opens a passage for the gas. The turning movement of the plug a of the cock is effected by the engagement of pawls 1, 2, with a ratchet-wheel b on the plug, the pawls 1, 2 being actuated by the movements of the pivoted armature d of the electromagnet e, and held in contact with the ratchet-wheel b by connecting the pivoted supports p, q to each other by a chain 5 and a spring 6. Two constructions of rotary actuating switches are described. In the simpler construction shown in Figs. 2 and 4, the index arm or contact maker v is arranged to turn continuously in one direction. The pawl k, which prevents rearward movement, can engage with the teeth of either a fixed ratchet - wheel i of insulating- material, or a metal conducting-wheel j. In turning the arm v forward, the pawl k, in passing over the teeth of the conducting-wheel j, closes the circuit of the electromagnet e as many times as the ratchet-wheel b is required to perform movements to turn the cock 90‹. Any intermediate position of the switch arm v corresponds to a partial closing or opening of the cock. In the somewhat similar but more complex switch shown in Figs. 6, 8, and 9, a cap wand a spring t are substituted respectively for the index v and the pawl k shown in Figs. 2 and 4. The conducting-wheel j is arranged behind the insulating-wheel i and there is provided a third toothed wheel o, which, engaging with a pivoted spring-actuated anchor r, ensures perfect contact making by preventing an unduly rapid motion of the cap w. The switch is looked in the main positions corresponding to the " open " and " closed " positions of the gas cook by the engagement of studs n on the cap w with recesses in the wheel o, the cap being displaced longitudinally, Fig. 8, against the pressure of the spring h while it is being manipulated. To ensure that the electric igniting-device Z of the burner, Fig. 7, shall only be actuated while the gas cock is in the "open" position, a contact button z is so placed on the cap w that it can only be pressed into contact with the contact pin z<1> when the switch is in the "open" position.

Patent GB-190307393-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Air-compressors and Valves therefor.
Inventor: ALLEY STEPHEN EVANS
Filed: 1903-03-30
Granted: 1904-02-11
Abstract: 7393. Alley, S. E. March 30. Check valves; piston valves.-Relates to valves for air and gas compressors, especially stage compressors of the differential-piston type, such as those described in Specifications No. 12,136, A.D. 1898, and No. 9164, A.D. 1900, [Abridgment Class Air and gases, Compressing &c.]. Spring-closedor other non-return valves G are fitted in the highpressure and intermediate delivery passages, to supplement the action of the valves D, D<2>. In one form of non return valve for use in this way or for use in air and gas compressors generally, the valve corsists of a piston J<1>, Fig. 5, formed in one with a cushioning-piston J and working in a liner H<1>. The valve is normally closed by a spring N. If the pressure of the air in the passage K exceeds that in the passage K<1> by a certain amount, it opens a check valve and, acting- on the top of the piston J, opens the valve J<1>. When the pressure falls again, the spring N closes the valve, and the air above the piston J, being able to return only through a throttled passage M, cushions the valve. In a mcdification, a disc valve working against a seating on the valve casing is used instead of the piston valve. In another modification, shown in Fig. 9, the valve is inverted and is closed by gravity, and an extension J<5> of the valve acts as a balancing and cushioning piston by fitting into a chamber which communicates with the exit passage K<1> by a small opening 0. A valve similar to that sbown in Fig. 5 may be fitted into an opening P<2>, Fig. 11, in the wall of a compressor cylinder, the valve casing R reing formed with a shoulder R<1>, which makes a joint with the edge of the opening P', and with a cover R<3>, which is held closed by a screw Q<3> in a cover Q<1> bolted to the outer wall of the delivery passage Q. The screw Q<3> also holds the shoulder R<1> against its seat.

Title: Improved Methods of Lubricating Engines, Machines and the like with Solidified Oil, Grease and the like.
Inventor: BRINTON GEORGE CHARLES
Filed: 1903-05-18
Granted: 1903-08-27
Abstract: 11,230. Brinton, G. C., and Crabtree, J. T. May 18. Lubricators.-Relates to devices for lubricating parts of engines, machinery, and the like with solidified oil, grease, &c. Oil cups of the type described in Specification No. 24,976, A.D. 1902, are used, and the pistons are actuated by pressure obtained from a head of water, or by steam or compressed air acting upon a column of water or other fluid, or by compressed air acting directly on the pistons, or by means of a hydraulic accumulator, or by hand pumps. Fig. 1 illustrates a method of lubricating the main bearings of a locomotive. The ram b in the cylinder a carries a weight c, which may be lifted by means of the screw d. The fluid to be placed under pressure is admitted by the inlet e and passes through the pipes f, k to the oil cups g, which communicate by means of the flexible pipe h with the groove i in the axle bearing. An opening n, Fig. 2, fitted with a screw plug is provided to test the efficiency of the lubrication ; when the plug is removed, the lubricant oozes out if the bearing is sufficiently lubricated. In another arrangement, the pressure is obtained by means of a steam, compressed-air, or other fluid-actuated ram acting upon an accumulator ram when several oil cups are to be used, or directly upon the piston in the oil cup when one is used. A bracket upon the oil cup supports the cylinder of the actuating-ram and a stuffing-box, through which the ram passes to act upon the spindle of the oil-cup piston or upon the accumulator ram. To lubricate the guide-bars and motion blocks of an engine crosshead, the oil cup is carried upon the key in the crosshead, and communicates by means of pipes with holes in the motion blocks, the pressure being supplied by means of springs in the oil cup. A clack valve is placed between each oil cup and the accumulator, and a cock may be provided to cut off commununication between the oil cups and the accumulator while the accumulator is replenished.
