Title: Improvements in Teat Cups for Milking Machines.
Inventor: KENNEDY ROBERT
IPC: A01J5/08
Filed: 1913-02-10
Granted: 1914-02-10
Abstract: 15,213. Kennedy, R. Feb. 10. [Cognate Application, 15,532/13.] Cow-milkers.-A teatcup a of rigid material is formed with one or more elongated ports f in which is fitted an elastic diaphragm h which presses periodically upon the teat. For a single - tube system, the pulsations within the cup cause the atmospheric pressure admitted by the nozzle j or j<1> on the cover i to actuate the diaphragm h. The cover i may in this case be dispensed with, the flange h<1> of the diaphragm being turned over projecting flanges surrounding the port f. For a doubletube system, the nozzle j or j<1> is connected to the pneumatic or hydraulic pulsator. The diaphragm may be made in one with a stiff back plate to take the place of the cover i. The suction in the expanded portion c retains the cup on the teat and an air-inlet m is provided in the cup, diaphragms, or milk-pipe. If used without internal suction, a rubber mouthpiece is used to retain the cup. To produce a stripping action, the port is wider at the top than below and the diaphragm may vary in thickness.

Title: Improvements in Rotary Web Printing Presses.
Inventor: WALKER ARTHUR HENRY
IPC: B41F5/08
Filed: 1913-10-18
Granted: 1914-10-19
Abstract: 23,627. Walker, A. H., [Duplex Printing Press Co.]. Oct. 18. Rotary machines. - The printing - cylinders such as 14, 15 in a rotary printing-machine, particularly in machines using tubular printing- plates, are displaced axially relatively to each other so that the inner ends overlap, and are carried by bearings such as 18, 19 between the main outer frames 4, 5. A web the full width of the machine may be printed, or may be slit and the parts printed without lateral deflexion. In one form, Fig. 4, the printing-cylinder shafts have bearings in both side frames as well as the centre bearings, and are driven from the opposite ends of the press so as to allow the plates to be readily slid on and off the printing- cylinders. The impression cylinders such as 3, and the inking ducts and rollers may be the full width, and each may engage two printing- cylinders. In another form, Fig. 6, the printing, impression, and inking cylinders 'are all of the same width, and have only two bearings each. The gearing 56, 58 in each set is preferably on the inner side of the cylinders and driven from the main shaft 57. Several printing sets may be placed above each other, with the printing-cylinders alternately on opposite sides of the machine.
Patent GB-191324382-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Machines for Applying Transfer Stamps to Fabrics.
Inventor: HADDAN REGINALD
IPC: D06H1/02
Filed: 1913-10-27
Granted: 1914-07-30
Abstract: 24,382. Haddan, R., [Kaumagraph Co.]. Oct. 27. Feeding webs.-In a machine for applying transfer stamps to fabrics, particularly to the selvedges of fabrics passing through clothmeasuring or other machines, the tape carrying the transfer stamps is fed forward at intervals with the continuously running cloth between the impression members, one of which is heated. The feeding- mechanism of the tape is driven bv a continuously - revolving brake band, which at intervals is caused by a cam to grip a brake drum, and intermittently drive the tape feed-rolls. In one form of mechanism, shown in Fig. 1, the cloth passes along a table, under the impression roll f<1>, and above a presser - roll f heated electrically or otherwise, and mounted in a frame f<3> pivoted at f<4> and swung by an eccentric pin f<5> so as to bring the transfer strip, which passes over the roll f, at intervals into engagement with the fabric. At such times the strip is fed forward by feedrolls e<2>, e<1>, e<3>, and the roll f is also rotated, at the same speed as the fabric, by gearing from an internal gear c<1> on a brake drum c loosely mounted on the shaft b, and having a second brake drum attached thereto surrounded by a brake ring d. This ring has a loose shoe d<10> therein, acted on by a cam d<3> having a lever d<5> with a projecting tappet d<9>, and the ring is continuously rotated by a spring d<7> engaging the hub of the lever d<5> and attached to a continuously revolving arm on the shaft b. The drum c is normally held stationary by a brake c<4> pressed against the drum by a spring c<20> and having an adjustable projecting stop c<6>, but at one portion of the revolution of the brake ring d the tappet d<9> engages the stop c<6>, and thus simultaneously releases the brake c<4> and causes the shoe d<10> to grip the second brake drum and drive it, thus causing the right amount of the tape to be fed. The transfer tape passes up between the rolls e<1>, d<3>, under the guide f<7>, over the roll f, and between the rolls c<1>, c<2>. In a modified form, shown in Fig. 6, the heated presser is a flat smooth plate h<2>, and the impression member h<4> is driven and has a swell h<5> to engage the cloth and the transfer tape. The transfer tape is pulled over the presser member h<2> by the roll h<4> and the cloth, and also by tensioning - rolls i<5>, i<6>, continuously revolved from the shaft b and having a suitable slipping grip on the tape, which is fed at the right intervals by the rolls i, i<3> actuated from the drum c as before.

Abstract: 15,032. Wyman, H. June 23. Change-boxes, self-contained.-In film-packs for flexible films with tabs 2<1> for pulling the films from the front exposure chamber to the back of the pack, and for the purpose of facilitating the removal of exposed films, the back cover 1 of the pack is severed along one edge and is temporarily secured by a strip 1<1>. To remove a film, the strip 1<1> is torn, and an exposed film 3 removed sideways, as indicated. The back is subsequently re-sealed with a fresh strip 1'. To facilitate severing the strip, a piece of thread may be fastened along with the strip. The abutment stop usually provided to arrest the shoulder of the film may be omitted from the side through which the film is removed.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the Suspension of Vehicles.
Inventor: MERCIER HENRI
IPC: F16F9/02

Granted: 1915-07-23
Abstract: 15,105. Mercier, H. June 23. [Addition to 13,714/14.] Pneumatic springs.-Relates to pneumatic piston- and-cylinder springs for vehicles, of the kind described in the parent Specification, in which the cylinder is in connexion with an additional air chamber, the supply of air to the cylinder being controlled by a valve and by a leak so that the vehicle frame occupies a mean position for all loads, and the valve being closed when the cylinder is in connexion with the additional chamber. The present invention consists in providing a supplementary air-inlet valve which remains open until the first leak orifice is uncovered by the piston. Fig. 1 shows the piston B engaging in the cylinder A, supplied with air through a passage D and spring-controlled valve D<1> and connected with the additional air chamber by a passage A<3> and with the atmosphere by leak orifices A<4>, A<5> as described in the parent Specification. The supplementary valve 20 is connected with the inlet D by a plug 21 having a helical groove, and the spindle of the valve 20 is operated by a projection b<10> on the piston against the action of a spring d<3>, so that the valve does not close until the leak A<4> is uncovered by the piston. The leak orifice A<4> is controlled by a plug 19 with helical groove. Fig. 2 shows an alternative construction in which the supplementary valve is combined with the main valve. The spindle of the main valve has, in addition to the usual groove 22, which is interrupted when the passage A<3> is uncovered, a helical groove 23 which allows thereafter a slower inlet until the leak A<4> is uncovered when the helical groove is interrupted.
