Title: Improved Mechanism for Controlling the Lateral Displacement of the Work after each Cut in Machines for Sawing Wood.
IPC: B27B29/10
Filed: 1910-01-13
Granted: 1910-06-02
Abstract: 943. Michel, P. Jan. 22, 1909, [Convention date]. Work-feeding devices. -In machines for sawing planks, panels, and sheets from logs, the lateral movement of the work is effected and controlled by mechanism actuated by mechanical power and adapted to be disengaged automatically after the required movement has been effected. The traversing carriage, on which the work is held as usual by a series of clamps A, Fig. 2, adjustable laterally by screws a<3> connected by chain gearing, has a notch a<6>, Fig. 4, which, after the carriage has completed a cutting-stroke, is engaged and locked by a pawl h controlled by a pedal lever h<4>. In this position, a wheel a<5>, Fig. 3, secured on one of the adjusting-screws a<3>, is in position for gearing with a wheel c<1> feathered on a hollow shaft b mounted in fixed supports, which shaft also carries a freely-mounted clutch part e and a fixed clutch part d fitted with braking- disks adapted to engage braking-disks on a part d' feathered on a boss of the support. A portion of the shaft b is threaded, and carries a nut b<3> embracing a threaded shaft g, which also carries a nut g' embracing the shaft b. The clutch part e is connected by chain gearing e', Fig. 4, to a countershaft e<5> driven, from the sawing machine or otherwise, through a crossed or open belt controlled by a belt fork connected to a lever e<10>. A lever c<7> acts through a cord and a spring-controlled rod c<3> passing through the hollow shaft b to slide the wheel c<1> into and out of gear with the wheel a<5>. To operate the device, the nut g<7> is adjusted by bevel-gear g<1>, g<2> and a crank g<4> with pointer g<5> movable over a scale g<6> according to the required lateral displacement of the work. The lever c' is then operated to engage the wheel c' with the wheel a<5>, and simultaneously moves the lever e<10> to drive the countershaft e<5>, which then drives the shaft b until the nut b<3> comes against the nut g<7>. The continued rotation caused the shaft to be moved longitudinally, disengaging the clutch parts so that it is no longer driven, and engaging the braking-disks whereby it is arrested. The levers e<10>, c<7> are now returned to stop the countershaft and disengage the wheel c<1> from the wheel a<5>, and the pedal lever h<4> is depressed to disengage it from a notch in a bar i, Fig. 6, controlling the starting-handle i<2> and to remove the pawl h from the notch in the traversing carriage. On removing the handle i<2> to start the carriage, the bar i locks the lever c'. To return the work-clamps for receiving new work the handle e<10> is moved to drive the countershaft in the opposite direction, and the nut b<3> acts on an arm f to move the shaft b longitudinally, whereby it is arrested as before.

Granted: 1910-06-09
Abstract: 2413. Adt, L. F. Jan. 31. Eyeglasses.-To enable mountings for different interpupillary distances to be fitted to eyeglass frames, the bridge 1 is detachably connected to the eyeglass mounts 2 by means of an horizontal arm 4 on the bridge engaging a closed or open seating 3 on the mount, the arm and seating being transverse or collinear to the line of the lens. The connexion is secured by means of a fastener passing through holes 6, 7 and having a screw 8 on its end engaging a screwed part in the box. The fastener has a shoulder 9 and a bearing portion 10, on which the spring-pressed guards 15 pivot. The guards are opened before use by means of finger-pieces as usual. Fig. 12 shows a modification in which the box 3<z> is on the bridge and the engaging member 4<z> is carried on a flexible member 5<z> on the lens. In this way, by reason of the member being introducible into either end of the box, offset or inset of the lenses can be obtained.

Abstract: 23,947. Penner, H. Oct. 15. Time alarms. - Relates to an electric timealarm system of the kind in which an alarm bell and setting-switch are provided in each room and are connected to a central controlling-clock. The central clock has a spring contact under the hour-hand engaging inset dial-contacts, say at every half-hour, these contacts being connected to corresponding contacts u, Fig. 5, of each setting-switch. The central clock has also a device shown in Fig. 7 for regulating the exact time and duration of each contactclosure. This device consists of a lever 5 having a tooth 3 riding on a notched disk 2 on the minute-hand spindle, so as to close the main circuit every half-hour by engagement with a contact 8, which is adjustable to regulate the duration of the contact-closure. The setting- switch, Fig. 5, is mounted on an advertisement board, and comprises an arm v which can be rotated to engage a loose contact-pin in a recess of any of the contacts u. The contacts can be disengaged by lifting the handle D, and a spring A then returns the arm v to zero against a stop B. This enables the occupant of a room to stop the alarm. The alarm bell or trembler is provided with flexible connexions so that it can be placed under the raised head portion of a bed.

Boot-sole sewi'ngmachines; g o v e r n i n g needle thread.-The amount of thread taken from the wax-pot is determined by the thickness of the seam substance, and only a short length of thread is subjected to strain in setting the stitch. An improved auxiliary spring take-up and a brakewheel are included in the Specification. The thread passes over a brake-wheel 1 mounted on a divided boss, the parts of which 5, 6 are forced apart by springs so as to exert a friction grip on the wheel to prevent overrunning. The measuring - device comprises two fixed pulleys 10, 11, between which a movable pulley 12 is moved in guides 18 by the crank-pin 15 on the shaft 14 mounted on the welt-guide slide 13. The shaft 14 is rocked through a variable distance depending upon the position of the welt - guide slide, and, therefore, upon the thickness of the work, by the plunger 20, which is moved by the cam 27 through bell - cranks 2.5, 22. During the setting of the stitch, the thread is clamped between the pulley 11 and the lever 31. The auxiliary take-up includes a pulley on a lever 37, which is rocked by one end of a finger 40, the other end of which is subjected to the pressure of an adjustable spring in a tubular housing 43.

Title: Improvements in Machines for Making Paper Bags.
Inventor: CRADDY EDWARD
IPC: B31B25/00
Filed: 1911-07-10
Granted: 1912-05-02
Abstract: 15,913. Craddy, E. July 10. Paper bags, making. -Relates to that class of machine for making kite-shaped paper bags in which the first fold is made by a blade which forces the paper into a gripper. The invention consists in using an oscillating plate or deflector 17, having a curved or claw-like lower end, to force the paper into the gripper 26. A web of paper from a roll is fed in the usual manner by draw rolls 4 to a cutting-roll 11 after having had one edge pasted by passing over a pasting-wheel 6. The blanks cut off from the web are fed by rolls 14 on to a perforated plate or table 16 having a diagonal edge, beyond which is an open space in which the gripper 35 moves. This gripper consists of an upper plate and a lower plate h e l d together by a spring; thus the two plates form a pair of jaws which grip the paper. The upper plate has a tail-piece 35<a> which is depressed by a lever to open the jaws. The gripper is mounted on a vertical shaft. so that it can move in an horizontal plane. The deflector 17 is mounted on a shaft 18 arranged above the plate 16 and parallel with its diagonal edge. When the cut blank arrives on the plate 16, the gripper has moved forward with its jaws against the diagonal edge of the plate, and by the oscillation of the deflector, its claw-like lower edge creases the paper and forces it into the gripper, thus forming the first fold of the bag. The movement of the gripper next conveys the blank to the position shown in dotted lines, where it rests above a pair of pressing-rolls 49. A dipper blade 43 mounted on an oscillating lever 45 then descends and forces the blank between the rolls 49 which form the final fold.
