Title: Improvements in and relating to Machines for Affixing Labels and the like.
Inventor: LAKE WILLIAM EDWARD
Filed: 1907-10-22
Granted: 1908-10-22
Abstract: 23,314. Lake, W. E., [Forbes, E. P., Noyes, M. E., and Taylor, F. E.]. Oct. 22. Feeding sheets.-A label-affixing machine comprises an arrangement of rollers for feeding labels to a gumming-roller 31, Fig. I, a comb 32 for stripping the labels therefrom, and jaws for transferring them to the box. The feeding-arrangement comprises a series of eccentric disks and rollers mounted on shafts 45, 46, the eccentric disks projecting 'through the hopper bottom 40. The labels pass. under the lower edge of an inclined plate on to the surface of the gumming - roller, which, together with the shafts 45, 46, is driven from. the shaft 19 through the gearing shown. The gumming-roller is provided with grooves 31, into which project the inclined teeth of the comb 32. As each label is passed forward, it is smoothed out by a plate. The jaws, which co-operate to transfer the labels from the gumming-roller to the box, are carried by blocks 67 and shaft 70 respectively. The blocks 67, Fig. V, are carried by the members 66 of slides which are reciprocated in guides 65 by means of oscillating levers 61, pins 62 of which engage cam-shaped grooves 59 of the disks 57. The shaft 70 carrying the jaws 71, have crank arms 72 which are connected by rods 73 with plates 74 pivotally mounted on the slides 64. As the slides 64 are reciprocated, the lower ends of the plates 74 strike the pins alternately to actuate the movable jaws 71 and.transfer the labels to the articles to be labelled.

Abstract: 23,530. Englund, G. E. Oct. 24. Life-boats; capsizing, preventing.-In life-boats of the class in which the boat proper is supported by a hermetically-closed spool-shaped floating body, the spool-shaped body is provided with a contracted central part a<1>, Fig. 1, around which is rotatably mounted a drum b rigidly connected to the boat proper c and keel d. To prevent excessive friction between the drum b and the part a<1>, antifriction rings f are provided which are prevented from longitudinal movement by means of stop rings e. Rollers or balls may be used instead of the ringsf. The boat c may be provided with water-tight compartments in its bottom and with oars or other propelling-apparatus. The boat c is independent of the rotary motion of the float a, and capsizing is thus prevented.

Abstract: 27,169. Buch, M., and Fleming, R. S. Dec. 9. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Variable-speed and reversing gearing.-A number of worm-and-wheel and like gear pairs are arranged to form a change-speed and reversing gear, one member of each pair being clutched to the driving- shaft and the other to the driven shaft. In the arrangement shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the gear pairs, consisting of worms C<1>, C<2>, C<3> of different pitch &c. and worm-wheels D', D<2>, D<3> are adapted to slide laterally relatively to the driving-shaft P, and longitudinally upon, say, the differential casings A of a motor-car. The worms C', C<2>, C<3>, which are carried by a frame F operated by a rod G, have clutch-parts L', L<2>, L<3> adapted to be engraved by a clutch-part M on the shaft P, which can be advanced and withdrawn by a lever R. The driven ciutch takes the form of a toothed ring B, which is formed on the periphery of the casing A, and is engaged by internal rings E', E<2>, E<3> upon the wheels D', D<2>, D<3>. The disconnected worm-wheels are supported by loose sleeves H. The clutch-part M is surrounded by a tapered guiding-sleeve N. In the arrangements shown in Fig. 3, the clutch-parts are moved and the gear-pairs are fixed. The wheels D<1>, D<2>, D<3> are mounted upon loose sleeves which carry clutch toothed rings E<1>, E<2>, E<3>, respectively. The casing A is connected rigidly to clutch rings B<1>, B<2> having long teeth always engaging toothed rings upon slidable sleeves S', S<2>, which have other toothed rings adapted to engage the rings E<1>, E<2>, E<3> and effect driving-connexion. The shaft P is swung about a universal joint to move the clutch-part M over the parts L', L<2>, L<3>.

Title: Improvements in Detachable and Divisible Rims for Pneumatic Tyres.
Inventor: HALL JOHN WILLIAM
Filed: 1908-05-06
Granted: 1909-02-11
Abstract: 9842. Hall, J. W., and Baynes, C. May 6. Felloes or rims.-A detachable rim for a pneumatic tyre is divided transversely into separable sections movable bodily away from or towards each other. The rim sections are first forced on to the tyre beadings, and then moved apart to allow the rim tyre to pass on to the felloe ; they are then allowed to contract under the tension of the tyre, whereby the complete rim is fixed on the felloe. Tha rim sections D, D', Fig. 3, have at each end a block E tapped to receive a radial screw-bolt E<1> when the rim is in position, and are provided with lugs e to embrace the felloe. The adjacent ends of the blocks are hollowed out to form oval recesses E<3> to admit the oval key H, Fig. 7, for the purpose of expanding the rim. Each section is provided at the centre with a block F, hollowed out to receive the nut of an ordinary security bolt, and has on the inner side lugs similar to e, and on the other side wedge-shaped projections F<1> to engage with a socket plate F<3> on the felloe for the purpose of taking the drive. The security bolts J, Fig. 6, between the adjacent ends of the sections carry two headed pins J<3>, which enter radial slots E<2>in the blocks E and a plate J<4> which lies between the rim and the tyre beads. For forcing-the last rim section on to the tyre, there is provided a lever G, Fig. 10, carrying two pins G<1> which enter holes E<4> in the blocks E, a bridge-piece G<2> and pivoted locking-piece G<3> preventing the pins from being bent. In a modification, the ends of the sections may overlap, in which case only one radial bolt E' is necessary ; the expanding keys H may be permanently carried on the rim sections, and may be formed with lugs which embrace the felloe when the keys are in the inoperative position. The open spaces between the ends of the sections are closed by plates, placed on each side of the wheel and connected by crossbolts ; the circumferential space between the rim and the felloe is closed by plates fixed by screws to the block E.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Magneto-ignition Apparatus.
Filed: 1908-11-26
Granted: 1909-09-09
Abstract: 25,547. Bosch, R., [Firm of]. Nov. 6, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Gas and like engines, igniting in. In magnetoignition apparatus in which the moving part of the generator is oscillated by the use of springs cooperating with a deflecting piece, the deflecting piece is placed eccentrically to the oscillating shaft so that there is an oscillation either of the spring system or of the piece. The springs are thereby strained as little as possible, and the operating lever may have a considerable stroke. Fig. 1 shows a form in which the springs f1, f2 are fixed at their upper ends to a stationary part of the apparatus, while the operating lever a acts upon the springs through the arm b, c pivoted at b. The action can be varied by varying the relative lengths a, b, b, f2 and c, f2. The arm b, c may be fixed to the armature cover - plate and may oscillate therewith. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 2. the springs f1, f2 are fixed to a block b pivoted to the lever a, and the deflecting piece d is fixed to a stationary part of the apparatus. Fig. 3 shows another arrangement, in which the springs are fixed to a pivoted block e and oscillate therewith, the deflecting piece g being mounted eccentrically upon the armature cover-plate or upon the operating-lever. The points of engagement between the springs and the deflecting piece may be below the armature axis as shown in Fig. 7, in which the armature shaft is cranked, or the deflecting piece may consist of a web in the bend of the shaft. To secure noiseless working, the deflecting piece may be made of sound-deadening material, such as vulcanized fibre, and the bearing-surfaces may be in the form of rollers or bolts. To obviate breakage, each spring may be made in two parts i1, i2, Fig. 10, placed side by side.
