Abstract: 27,526. Hahn, P. T. Dec. 16. Rotary machines; cutting-apparatus ; feeding- apparatus for webs; inking-apparatus; printing on wrappers.-In a machine for printing on a roll of wrapping-paper, the printing-apparatus, having an ink duct, inking-rollers, and printing-roller mounted on a frame, the inking-rollers being movable between the ink duct and the printing-roller, is so supported that it may be pressed, when desired, against the roll of paper while the latter is being unwound, so as to print any desired matter on the piece of paper about to be cut off. Above the roll of paper a, Fig. 1, slides a bar c, guided by slots b<4>, and against the front edge c<2> of which the piece of paper for wrapping-up is cut off. The spring-controlled printing-roller f is supported in the frame d', d<3>, pivoted to the bar c, and rests normally with the type uppermost, the pin f<2> on the roller being kept by the spring in contact with the pin f<3> on the frame. A blotting- roller e with bearings pressing against springs e<5>, normally: holds the roller f away from the paper The inking-rollers h<3>, h<4>, h<5> are mounted on an auxiliary frame g, pressed upwards by a spring i so that the roller h<3> is normally in contact with the felt pad h<2> at the bottom of the ductor h fixed to the frame d<2>. A handle is mounted on the cross-bar g<3> of the frame g, and, by depression of this handle, the inking-roller h<5> is brought into contact with the printing-roller f, the frame g also meeting the stops k ; then, by compression of the springs e<5>, the printing-roller is brought against the paper, to make nearly one revolution in contact with the same.

Title: Improvements in Cotton Gins and like Machines for Treating Fibres.
Inventor: PEARSE NORMAN PAIN
Filed: 1905-01-17
Granted: 1906-01-17
Abstract: 909. Pearse, N. P. Jan. 17. Gins; burring-apparatus.-The. cotton or other fibre is drawn by the roller a under the fixed doctor knife b, and the seeds or other impurities are detached by toothed or serrated blades c carried by an adjustable frame e pivoted at f and actuated by an eccentric. The blades are mounted on the frame in pairs, and co-act in opposite directions, giving an upward and a downward stroke for each revolution of the eccentric. A number of separate pairs of blades are arranged along the length of the ginning-roller, and are connected together and worked by the same motion, or each pair may be operated by a separate eccentric and adjacent pairs worked out of step. The cotton &c. to be operated on is placed on a stationary or vibrating plate i and is fed to the roller by a reciprocating plate actuated by an eccentric. After passing under the doctor knife, the cleaned material is removed from the ginning-roller by a revolving brush d which throws it on to a delivery screen. The guard-plate g prevents seeds &c. from escaping in that direction. The ginning-roller is constructed of a series of annuli, alternately of leather and horsehair or other resilient fibre, threaded on to a core and inclined or otherwise arranged so that the fibres form elliptical or wavy gripping-surfaces on the periphery of the roller. Reference is made to Specification No. 8468, A.D. 1902, as comprising multiple-bladed roller clearers.

Granted: 1905-11-02
Abstract: 1492. Ogilvie, G. S. Jan. 25. Spring wheels; pneumatic wheels.- In wheels having relatively movable rim and felloe members, supplementary buffer stops are interposed between the driving-elements to reduce the shock of impact of stops coming into engagement, the clearance between buffer stops and driving-stops being equal to the radial freedom between the two wheel members. Segmental rubber, pneumatic, or spring cushions g are carried by shoes h, free to rotate on the felloe a, and are surmounted by a rim f, the circumferential movement of which is limited by arms e coming into engagement with stops d. The supplementary stops consist of arms m, Fig. 3, carried at each end of transverse pins n to which are also fixed other arms m<1> pressed inwards by leaf springs p. In a modification, Fig. 10, plates r are urged into contact with the driving-arms e by springs s mounted to slide in transverse guides t. In another form, Fig. 12, the felloe stops d slide in slots d' and are normally held against the inner ends by helical springs u, v ; the springs in this case may be replaced by india-rubber or pneumatic cushions. Dust plates w, Fig. 2, are secured to the rims by studs x and spring arms y.

Title: Improvements in Dovetail Cutters
Inventor: WANDERMAN REUBEN
Filed: 1905-02-07
Granted: 1906-02-07
Abstract: 2383. Wanderman, R. Feb. 7. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Dovetailing; tools.- A machine for cutting dovetails is similar to a mortising - machine but has its chisel made in two or more parts which are movable to and from each other. A chisel 1 is shown in two parts, pivoted at 2 to a holder 3 which is secured to a slide block 4, free to be moved up and down in a slide 5 by a lever as in a mortising-machine. Two toothed quadrants 6 are geared together and secured to shafts 7 carried in bearings 8 in the holder, and cranks 9 are also secured to the same shaft and are connected by links 10 to the two parts of the chisel. A pin 11 secured to one of the quadrants engages a slot 12 formed in the slide 5. When the chisel descends and its edge touches the wood, the pin 11 enters an inclined part of the slot 12 and on further motion of the chisel moves outwards, thereby separating the two parts of the chisel and causing the bottom of the cut to be wider than the top. The Provisional Specification states that the chisel is opened by an eccentric or lever and operated by a lever or rack and pinion, and that it may be closed by a spring. The sides of the parts of the chisel are splayed out and rabbeted or overlapped.

Title: Improvements in Automatic Shuttle Changing Apparatus for Looms.
Inventor: GEPPERT GEORG
Filed: 1905-09-21
Granted: 1906-05-24
Abstract: 19,123. Geppert, G. Sept. 21. Loom shuttle - changing mechanism. - When an empty shuttle enters one of the shuttle boxes, an electric circuit is completed in the ordinary way, and an electro-magnet 4 is energized and attracts its pivoted armature lever 6. The forked end of the lever 6 operates a clutch and causes a loose cam 9 to be rotated by the driving-shaft 8. The cam acts upon a roller 12 in a frame 13 attached to a movable shuttle box 10, and causes the box 10 to be moved forwards on the lay as the latter moves forwards, and at the same time the front wall 18 of the box 10 is raised by a cord 17 passing over a pulley. Projections 14 on the lay strike the tails of pivoted levers 16, so that these levers feed a full shuttle from the magazine 15 into the box 10. The cam 9 is shaped to keep the box 10 in its forward position while the lay moves back, and the empty shuttle is picked from the other box into a supplementary chamber or flap 11. The electric circuit is now broken, but the clutch is kept engaged by means of a forked lever 21 which is acted upon by a cam-flange 22 on the cam 9, until the lay is in its rearmost position, when the lever 21 enters a hole 23 in the flange 22, and disengages the clutch, the box 10 being then free to be moved into its normal position by springs 19.
