Abstract: 18,971. Graber, E. Aug. 12. Feeding webs; cutting-apparatus. - A postcard-printing machine is described for both photographically printing the negative and also mechanically printing from type or a block, and the prints may be cut off from the reel as they are printed. The paper d, Figs. 1 and 2, is diawn from the reel c over the type impression bed h and between the negative i and pressure plate by a roller f acting in conjunction with a pressure roller g. The paper then passes over the cutting-knife 42, 50, and the print is delivered on to the shelf 52. The paper is fed intermittently by means of the notched disk u on the shaft of the roller f, which is driven by the pawl t, bell-crank lever s and connecting- rod r by the disk p on the shaft o, which latter shaft is geared with the main shaft l, Fig. 2. The shaft l can be driven by a hand-crank k or by motor. The cutting-knife 42 is operated by the arm 43 loosely mounted on the shaft z and the link 44 and universal joint 45. The lever is operated by a cam 46 on a spur-wheel 47 driven from the shaft o. The knife 42 and its lower edge are both carried by a flanged and slotted plate 50, whereby it can be adjusted to cut the prints in any position relatively to the printed matter and picture.

Abstract: 22,748. Gladstone, D. S., and Parry, M. Oct. 1. Overwinding, preventing, and sustaining at limit of wind.-Relates to devices for preventing overwinding in colliery pit cages, of the type in which the cage is connected to the winding-rope by a catch mechanism which is actuated on passing a fixed ring thus releasing the winding-rope, the catch mechanism being left supported by the ring. In the present invention, the rope is connected to the catch mechanism by supporting-cheeks normally held in engagement by a wedge-block which is withdrawn on passing the fixed ring, and the supporting- checks are positively disengaged from the catch mechanism. Cheeks 7 attached to the hoisting- rope engage the catch-mechanism casing 9 as shown in Fig. 3. Pivoted to the casing are two sets of arms 14, 22 the arms 14 being slotted to accommodate a cross-bar 12 which is attached to a wedge piece 10 passing between the cheeks 7. Knee-jointed spring-controlled parts 19, shown in Fig. 1, are also provided. On an overwind taking place, the levers 22 engage the fixed ring 2, and are operated against the influence of spring 28 to withdraw locking stops 25 from the wedge piece 10. Immediately afterwards, the cross-bar 12 engages the ring 2 and the wedge is withdrawn. When the wedge is fully withdrawn, the lugs 17 engage flanges 7<a> and release the winding-rope, the cage remaining supported on the ring by the parts 19.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Fluid Pressure Braking Apparatus.
Inventor: TURNER WALTER VICTOR

Granted: 1912-02-29
Abstract: 26,762. Turner, W. V. May 24, [Convention date]. fluid-pressure, drivers' valves for. In fluidpressure braking-apparatus, the driver's valve is provided with an additional valve device adapted, in service applications, to open communication between the equalizing - reservoir and train-pipe and the atmosphere, and to cut off such communication when a predetermined reduction in train-pipe pressure has been effected. In the form shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the additional valve device comprises pistons 14, 16 and a slide valve 17 operating in a casing 13, connected at 24 to the equalizing-reservoir 10, at 26 to a constant-pressure reservoir 27, at 29 to a port 30 in the seat of the driver's valve, and at 23 and 32 to the atmosphere. Fig. 1 shows the parts in the running position, in which, in addition to the usual charging operations, the reservoir 27 is charged through ports 39, 34 and a pipe 33. In the service position, Fig. 2, the equalizing-reservoir and train-pipe are vented directly to the atmosphere by ports 38 and 36 respectively, which communicate by a cavity 40 in the rotary valve with the port 30 leading by the pipe 29 and a cavity 28 in the valve 17 to the exhaust port 32, the reservoir 27 being cut off. When the equalizing-reservoir pressure has been sufficiently reduced, the pressure in the reservoir 27 acts on the piston 16 so as to close the exhaust port 32, thus limiting the train-pipe reduction. In the modified form, Fig. 3, the additional valve device comprises a piston 44 controlling a slide valve 42, and is connected up in a manner similar to that shown in Fig. 1, except that the ports in the driver's valve are modified so that, in the running position, the reservoir 27 is open to atmosphere, whereas, in the service position, it is charged from the main reservoir, the pressure therein accumulating until sufficient to move the piston 44 to the right so as to close the exhaust port 32. In both of the forms described, the pressure in the reservoir 27 may be replaced by a spring. and the slide valve 17 or 42 may be replaced by a poppet valve.

When a train bridges the rails 1, 1<a>, the resistance of the circuit is diminished, the energization of the magnet is increased, and the cross-slot is moved out of register with the bolt-head. If the battery energizing the circuit fails, or from any other cause the current in the circuit falls below a certain value, the locking-plate falls and the lever is locked. Normally, the circuit is broken at a switch 3, and this switch must be closed before the lock can be removed,
