Title: Improvements in Platen Printing Presses.
IPC: B41F1/40
Filed: 1913-11-13
Granted: 1914-10-01
Abstract: 26,011. Ferrabee, J. H., and Dorman & Co., W. H. Nov. 13. Inking-apparatus.-Relates to means for reciprocating the roller carriages of platen printing-machines, the carriages having a considerable dwell while the rollers are in contact with the supply rollers, and means being provided for tripping the mechanism so that the carriages stop in the raised position. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, the roller carriages m are reciprocated by links k connecting them to arms i on the rock-shaft h, and are balanced by a weight s. The shaft h is rocked by an arm g connected by a rod f to the end d of an arm c pivoted at a fixed point b on the framing. The arm c is oscillabed by a rod o, connected to it at p, and at its other end to one of the cranks a<5> by which the rods a<6> and platen a<7> are operated. When the carriages m are at the upper position, as shown, with the rollers n, n<1> in contact with the ink-supply rollers, the pivot d is a little to the right of a line between the pivots e, b, the arm c and link f operating as a toggle and a considerable dwell being thereby produced. The arm g is loose on the shaft h and is driven by means of a fixed arm q<1>, which engages it on one side so that it drives the carriages to their upper position, even when tripped. The arm q' carries a bolt q' which normally engages the other side of the arm g, so that the two move together. This bolt is connected to a sleeve operated to withdraw the bolt and trip the mechanism, by an arm q<7>, shaft q<8>, and triprod r. The end of the bolt is inclined so that the arm g can pass it into the engaging position. In a modification, the arm on the fixed pivot which is linked to the shaft h is operated from a crank on a shaft at the rear of the bed between the machine framing, geared to the shaft a<4> by equal gears. In this modification, the tripping is effected by moving a lever into position to contact with and disengage a dog, which normally locks the arm g to the fixed arm on the shaft h.

Inventor: DRAPER WALTER
IPC: D01H3/12
Filed: 1913-11-22
Granted: 1914-11-12
Abstract: 26,856. Draper, W. Nov. 22. Mules and twiners.-The weighting of the counterfaller to give the necessary tension to the yarn during winding is accomplished by the use of devices which are capable of moving towards and away from the counterfaller shaft. Arms b slotted to receive the pins f<1> of a roller f are mounted loosely upon the counterfaller shaft. They are held in a slightly inclined position during the spinning operation to keep the roller f near the shaft a, by a spring d or set-screw abutting against a piece c adjustably clamped to the shaft a. When winding is to take place, the arms b are tilted by the rotation of the shaft a, and the roller runs to the outer ends of the slotted arms b. To bring the weights into action quickly, a chain k, Fig. 6, adjustably secured to the winding- faller shaft g is secured to the arms b. Instead of moving weights or rollers, a vessel containing liquid may be employed.
