Title: Improvements in and relating to the Printing of Cheques, Bonds, Stock Certificates and other Commercial Papers.
Inventor: ANGELL EDWIN ELLIOTT
Filed: 1907-02-11
Granted: 1907-12-19
Abstract: 3378. Angell, E. E. Feb. 11. Typewriters.-Characters representing the monetary value or the like of cheques, bonds, stock certificates, and other commercial papers are indelibly embossed so that attempts at erasure are rendered easily visible, ink &c. being deposited on either or both sides of the paper. Figs. 11 and 12 show the embossed paper, solid masses 69 of colour being placed in the concavities, and lines 68 impressed with or without colour outlining the convexities. The two colours are preferably different. Attempt to erase the colour on one side will make the paper thinner and the colour on the other side will show more plainly. Apparatus for performing the operation comprises rotatable cooperating dies 9, 19, the former being in fixed bearings and the latter in a bearing-block 15 pivoted as shown. The paper is laid upon a table 2 and is fed forward between rollers 52, 61, the roller 52 being intermittently rotated through ratchet gear by the downward movement of the die 19. The upward embossing movement of the die 19 is caused by a hand-lever 28, this lever being carried by an arm 23 pivoted at 24. The front edge of the casing 41 is marked with the various symbols, and beneath them is a corresponding number of slots 39 into which the lever 28 can be depressed. The movement of the arm 23 about its pivot is communicated by rack gearing 25, 26, and gears 12, 13, 20, 21 to the dies, which are thus set for any symbol. The die 19 is provided with a slotted flange 36, which allows the paper to be embossed only when a lug 38 , passes into one of the slots. Ink is supplied to each die by a pair of rollers supported by bell-crank levers from fixed hangers so that their pressure is adjustable.
Patent GB-190710437-A (GB)
Title: A New or Improved Machine for Forming Enlarged or Extended Heads upon Nails or the like
Inventor: DAVIES JOSEPH BARTLETT
Filed: 1907-05-04
Granted: 1908-05-04
Abstract: 10,437. Davies, J. B., and Bell, H. May 4. Nails ; woood-screws.-In a machine for forming enlarged heads on nails, screws, &c., the blanks A, Fig. 1, are delivered one at a time over singly-fed serrated disks B and driven on to them and ejected, the articles then being ready for galvanizing. The nail &c. blanks are placed in a hinged magazine 18 rocked by linked mechanism from a shaft 22. The magazine has channels or slots 19 leading to inclined races 26 down which the nails run suspended by their heads. At the lower end of the races fingers 27, 28, mounted on a cam-operated sliding shaft 30, co-operate to allow only one nail to leave each race at a time. The nails then pass through gates 34, mounted on a cam-operated sliding shaft 35, which serve to guide the nails point foremost into shoots 39 on the top of tubes 40. The tubes lead to inclined recesses 42 and channels 45 in which work plungers 46 attached to a reciprocating cross-beam 16, spring fingers 48 being provided at the ends of the channels. The disks B, which are slightly dished to assist their feeding, are placed in a receptacle 50 which has a number of plates dividing its floor into a number of channels, corresponding to the nail races, leading to vents 57 shaped so that the disks can pass through them to races 55 only when the serrated portion is uppermost. Revolving brushes mounted on a chain-driven shaft agitate the disks and cause them to fall into the channels. Spring fingers 71 are mounted at the end of each race and are lifted periodically to allow one disk to pass through, rotating brushes pushing the disks forward. Gates 90, adapted to be moved away intermittently, determine the position of the foremost disk. The nails which have been fed into the channels 45 are now driven by plungers through the disks into a die turret 79 operated by a Geneva stop motion 86. The assembled nails are then carried opposite plungers 100 which finish the heads to shape and are then driven out by an ejector 126 into troughs 135, shaped so that single nail blanks or single disks will fall through and the finished nails will be carried to a suitable receptacle. The plungers are mounted on a reciprocating slide 96, and to keep them under constant pressure they are mounted in recesses 103 connected by a crosschannel 105 to which oil or other liquid is supplied by a pump mounted on the slide or an accumulator connected by a pipe 107 ; other equivalent means may be used for this purpose. The oil is contained in a receptacle 116 provided with a strainer, and valves are provided to distribute the oil from the pump to the plungers and to relieve the pressure if it becomes excessive. Trip-levers 138, 146 respectively are provided for simultaneously stopping the feed of blanks and disks and for stopping the machine should the plungers 46 meet with obstruction due to incorrect feeding of the blanks.

Title: Improvements in and connected with Stiffeners for Corsets and the like, and in the Manufacture thereof.
Inventor: BARNWELL WALTER
Filed: 1907-09-07
Granted: 1908-08-13
Abstract: 19,999. Barnwell, W. Sept. 7. Stays or stiffeners.-Stiffeners for corsets &c. are made of the hardest spring music wire, woven with cotton, silk, or other yarn in power looms having special attachments. The wire is put on metal bobbins or beams A, which have pins on the outer flanges to fasten the wire round when not in use. The wire is put on in single ends, and is adjusted in the rack at the back of the loom, which'is kept tight by rubber rings. The wire then passes through straightening-rollers B, and thence through the wire healds and reed to be woven with the cotton. After being woven, the tape or spring passes through taking-down rollers C, which regulate the picks, and thence to metal bobbins or beams D with broad flanges, one of which is adjustable by a thumb-screw and is set to the exact width of the wire tape. The bobbins have pins on the flanges, to hold the work from springing off the beam. The beams when filled, are removed from the loom, and the work is passed through straightening - rollers ; it next passes through a sizing-bath and, when dry, is led to the measuring and cutting machine. The lengths then pass to the finishing-machine, which doubles the ends over a piece of wire, as shown in Fig. 3. The ends are finally dipped in a rubber solution, dried, and finished ; they may be tipped. The wire before being worked is tinned to prevent rusting. Specifications No. 27,029, A.D. 1896, and No. 5466, A.D. 1897, are referred to.
