Granted: 1910-07-14
Abstract: 3088. Lake, W. E., [Goss Printing Press Co.]. Feb. 8. Folding paper.-Transverse folding-mechanism of the kind in which the folding is effected by a blade on a moving carrier and gripping-jaws on a carrier which moves the folded sheet to suitable delivery mechanism is constructed so that the gripping-jaws, when they receive the sheet, are radial to the folding-blade carrier and are moving in the same direction as the blade, and during the delivery the jaws are substantially tangential to their line of travel and to the delivery cylinder. As shown, the paper passes from the cutting- cylinder through guides 13 to a cylinder or similarly moving part 17, which may be provided with grippers 18 for receiving the leading end of the paper, and is provided with a projecting folding- blade 21 mounted in a block 22. The blade 21 folds the paper between a fixed jaw 55 and movable jaws 57 carried by a rock-shaft 56 mounted in arms 50a of levers 50 which are mounted between rock-arms 49 carried by collars freely mounted on a shaft 38 and actuated by a spring-controlled arm 43, link 44, and a cam 28 which acts on a roller 46 on the link 44, and is secured to collars 27 on a shaft 26 which is embraced by a fork 45 on the link 44. The levers 50 are also oscillated by means of similar cammechanism comprising a forked rod 51, roller 54, cam 40, and a spring-controlled rod 81, and the grippers are thus oscillated between the cylinder 17 and a delivery gripper-cylinder 31 and move in the path indicated by dotted lines. The grippers are radial to the cylinder 17 and move in the same direction during the folding, and the grippers move tangential to the cylinder 31 during the delivery of the folded sheet. The rock-shaft 56 is acted on by a spring-controlled rod 60 to maintain the grippers normally closed, but during the folding and delivering operations the jaws 57 are opened by cams 69, 71 which act on rollers 67, 66 on the arms of a bell-crank mounted on the shaft 56. The sheets are stripped by strippers 80 on to a belt 79. The jaw 55 is slotted to receive the grippers of the cylinder 31.

Abstract: 12,173. Stoetzel, J. J., and Cohn, H. J. May 17. Pneumatic dispatch apparatus, particularly adapted as an amusement device for carrying passengers, is provided with a suction branch some distance from the delivery end, and the tube between the branch and delivery end is provided with means to prevent reverse movement of the carriers, each of which forms a closure for the delivery end until discharged by the arrival of the succeeding carrier. Fig. 1 shows the system arranged for use as an amusement device, the two alined ends being connected by a trough-shaped starting-platform 4. The carriers are impelled by suction from an apparatus connected by a branch 6 to the tube 1, some distance from the delivery end 3, which is provided with a gate 9. The carriers entering the inlet 2 are drawn through by suction until past the entrance 7, whereupon they gradually slow down owing to greater pressure in front, but are prevented from moving back by spring-pressed dogs 10. The gate 9 is closed before the first carrier is sent, but on the arrival of the carrier is opened by the pressure in the tube. The carrier remains in the end of the tube until another carrier passes the inlet 7, whereupon increase of pressure behind it allows the first one to run out, the end being sloped down to allow this. An additional gate 11 is provided to allow the last carrier to run out.
