Patent GB-191024863-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Valves and Cocks.
IPC: F16K7/06
Filed: 1910-10-26
Granted: 1911-04-13
Abstract: 24,863. Marks, E. C. R., [Barbour, J. A.]. Oct. 26. Pinch cocks; casings.-A pinch-cock for fluids comprises an elastic liner 4 enclosed within a metal casing 1 divided longitudinally into two parts, the part 2 forming a cover by means of which the liner can be readily removed and replaced. The ends of the liner and casing are coned at 7; 8 and flanged at 5, as shown, so that tight joints are formed by the longitudinal expansion of the liner when the cover is applied. The liner is initially formed compressed, as shown at 11, 12, and bulged at the sides, and the casing is similarly formed; a block 14 connected to a screw 15 effects the opening and closing of the valve, and a shoulder 16 on the screw abutting on the boss 17 prevents the rupture of the liner by excessive squeezing. According to the Provisional Specification, this device is applicable to taps, stoppers, &c. used in pipes, nozzles, &c. for controlling the flow of gas, water, steam, sand, or other fluids or semiiiuids.

Patent GB-191102237-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Speed Indicators.
IPC: G01P3/42
Filed: 1911-01-28
Granted: 1911-12-14
Abstract: 2237. Marks, E. C. R., [Pirwitz, M.]. Jan. 28. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Periodic-counter speed indicators.-A pawlcarrying arm 52 is connected for a definite period to a vehicle-rotated ratchet-wheel 14, is then held by a fixed co-axial ratchet-wheel 4, and finally is liberated so as to return to zero. A pawl-carrying index arm 20 normally connected to the fixed wheel 4, is also released at intervals so as to indicate the speed during the preceding period as measured by the amount of angular movement of the arm 52. The control of these operations is effected by two electromagnets 35, 36 adapted to be energized by clockrotated current interrupters. The pawl 50 on the arm 52 has a tooth 68 for engagement with the rotating wheel 14 and a tooth 67 for cooperation with the fixed wheel 4, and is caused to rock to throw either tooth into operation by means of link-work and a diaphragm armature 41. When no current flows through either magnet, the pawl is in its mid-position as shown, and the arm consequently returns to its initial position as determined by a stop 56. The pawl 22 on the index arm 20 has a single tooth for engagement with the fixed wheel 4 and is operated by an armature 32 normally depressed by a spring. The sequence of operations is as follows. For one second, the magnet 35 is excited and the arm 52 consequently travels with the wheel 14. The magnet 36 is then energized for 1/3 of a second so as to rock the pawl 50 to fix the arm in the position attained, and at the same time the pawl 22 is operated through the armature 32, so that the index arm 20 may take up the new position (supposing the speed has decreased). Finally, for the remainder of the second, the electromagnets are de-energized, the pawl 22 engages the wheel 4 to hold the arm 20 stationary, and the pawl 50 assumes the position shown so that the arm 52 returns to zero.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Tongs for Lifting Metal Tyres, Castings and the like Into and Out of Furnaces.
Inventor: SEDWELL ALFRED JAMES
IPC: B21J13/10
Filed: 1911-02-11
Granted: 1911-06-29
Abstract: 3529. Sedwell, A. J. Feb. 11. Lifting -dogs or tongs for lifting articles into and out of furnaces comprise a beam which is provided with gripping devices at one end, and is pivotally mounted or suspended from an overhead traveller so that the grip is applied to the article by tilting the beam about its pivotal support. The gripping-devices comprise a downwardly-extending fixed jaw at one end of the beam and a pair of pivoted jaws e which can be positioned to embrace the article by a hand-lever i. In operation, the jaws are lowered over the article p and the pivoted jaws lowered into a position such that a grip can be applied to the article by depressing the handle end of the beam a. The beam is then run to or from the furnace to the discharging-point. The jaws may have renewable gripping-faces, or may be curved to engage wheel tyres or like articles. The pivoted jaws may be formed in one piece or the hand lever i dispensed with and the pivoted jaws allowed to fall by gravity. The pivots f and j may also be adjustable. Wheels may be raised to place in the tyres by means of hangers q which engage the spokes.

Title: Improvements in Inking Mechanism for Printing Machinery.
Inventor: LAKE WILLIAM EDWARD
IPC: B41F31/12
Filed: 1911-03-14
Granted: 1911-08-17
Abstract: 6399. Lake, W. E., [Cottrell & Sons Co., C. B.]. March 14. Inking - apparatus.-Mechanism is provided for driving the fountain roller with a continuous slow movement and also intermittently, at the times when the messenger roller is in contact with it, with a faster movement, the duration of which may be varied. The mechanism also permits either movement to be imparted alone. The slow movement is imparted to the fountain roll through spur and worm gear 138, 140 and a roller clutch 184, which can be disengaged from a driven shaft in alinement with the roll shaft by a pivoted clutch lever 187 when the locking-latch 193 is displaced. The intermittent faster movement, overrunning the clutch, is imparted by ratchet-and-pawl mechanism 194, 197, the pawl being carried by an arm 195 fixed to a shaft carrying also a fixed arm 196 and a loose arm 203 connected by a link 205 to an adjustable crank-pin 206 on a driven disk 204. The arm 203, oscillated as described, acts against the arm 196 to drive the pawl and ratchet-wheel, the return movement of which is effected by a spring 202 and regulated by an adjustable stop 198 in a quadrantal slot. The adjustment of the crank-pin 206 and stud 198 control the duration of the intermittent movement, which can be arrested by turning the pawl out of action. The fountain roll can be manually operated, when the slow and intermittent drives are disengaged, by means of a crank-handle shaft carrying a pinion gearing with a wheel 179 on the roll. The messenger roll 54 is carried by arms from a shaft 211 which is oscillated to move the roll between the fountain roll and transfer roll by a cam 216 engaging studs or rollers on arms 212, 213 fixed to the shaft, a spring 217 serving to hold the roller 214 on the arm 212 against the cam.

Abstract: 5410. Hayes, J. A. J., and Hayes (Universal) Printing Machinery, Ltd. March 4. Rotary machines; tripping and like arrangements; inking-apparatus.-In a rotary litliographic press of the kind for printing continuously in one or more colours on a web of paper, fabric &c. c, by two or more printing- cylinders f, the points of contact of the printing-cylinders. with the inking-devices m and with the impression cylinder b lie in one or more approximately horizontal planes, and the tripping-mechanism is so arranged that, after the machine has been started, a single lever u or handle brings the first inking-devices into contact with the printing-cylinders, and then these into contact with the cylinder b, the movement being horizontal, and in the reverse order when tripping before stopping, thus obviating damage to the lithographic cylinders f by stationary contact with the inking-cylinders m or web c to be printed. The cylinders f may be mounted on slides g, and the inking-mechauism on slides h in the manner described in Specification 9365/07. In one form of machine, each slide h is connected by an adjustable link t to the arm of a bell-crank lever r, and each slide g is connected by an adjustable link s to the same arm, but nearer the fulcrum, so that the slides h receive a movement greater than the slides g, thus separating the inking and printing-rollers.

Abstract: 21,339. Linotype & Machinery, Ltd., [Mergenthaler Setzmaschinen - Fabrik Ges.]. Sept. 19. Moulds for type-bar making machines. Relates to means for manually rotating the mouldwheel to bring different moulds into use. The mould-wheel 1 is rotated by a pinion 4 which can slide, as heretofore, on its shaft 5, to which it is normally locked by a pin 6 engaged by a recess 8 in the pinion under the influence of a spring 12. Upon the hub 11 of the pinion is loosely mounted a sleeve 13 carrying a handle 14. A pin 17 on the sleeve projects into an annular groove 15 in the hub 11, and an arm 21 projecting into a recess normally prevents rotation of the sleeve. When it is desired to change the mould, the sleeve 13 is moved longitudinally against the pressure of a spring 19 by means of the handle 14 so that the pin 17 enters a recess 16, thereby locking the pinion to the sleeve. Further movement of the sleeve disengages the pinion from the pin 6 so that the pinion and the mould-wheel can be rotated by means of the handle 14. When the handle is released, the parts are restored to normal position by the springs 12, 19.
