Title: Improvements in and relating to the Inking Apparatus for Platen Printing Machines.
Inventor: PUTNAM FRED ASAHEL
IPC: B41F31/02
Filed: 1912-09-16
Granted: 1913-03-27
Abstract: 21,066. Putnam, F. A. Sept. 16. Inking - apparatus. - In printing - machines wherein an inking-roller oscillates over the type at each operation of the machine, an ink reservoir of considerable capacity, and having valved apertures in its base, is mounted on a moving part of the machine and supplies ink to the inking-roller. The reservoir 17, Figs. 1 and 3, is mounted between the sides of a pivoted frame 5 carrying the printing head 3 with type 4 arranged above a platen 1. The frame is oscillated from the main shaft, from which a slide 10 carrying the inking-roller 9 is reciprocated in guide grooves in the frame so as to carry the roller under the reservoir and under the type. The base-plate 20 of the reservoir is preferably removable, and is perforated to receive balls 19 which project slightly below the plate and are pressed down by spring - controlled plungers 21 extending through holes in a guideflange 22 on the reservoir and through a retaining-strip 26 for preventing displacement of the balls. The roller raises the balls to allow a supply of ink to pass. For thick ink, the balls may be dispensed with and the ends of the plungers extended into the perforations, the plungers being adjustable by screwing through the top of the reservoir. The base-plate 20 is grooved on the underside to facilitate distribution. Fig. 9 shows a modification in which spring-controlled plug valves 34 with projecting spindles bear on a roller 35 protruding slightly below the base of the reservoir so as to be lifted to open the valves when the inking-roller passes below.

Granted: 1913-06-12
Abstract: 22,788. Conradi, H. Oct. 7. Wheel guards, obstraction-removers, and like safety appliances. - Mechanically - propelled vehicles are provided with (1) an elastic scoop 5 lowered by contact with an obstacle; (2) a radiator guard 6, hinged to the vehicle at the lower end and spring-connected thereto at the upper end; and (3) screens 13 surrounding the front and rear wheels and provided at the front with an elastic squeegee 15; (4) there may be side guards 14 in one or more pieces, covered with undulated padding. The scoop 5 has a framework which may comprise leaf springs wrapped around a shaft 3. Springs 4 may support the shaft 3 and the scoop directly or through a sector 3<a>, in which case the front end of the scoop in supported by a padded hook 12. When the scoop is struck by an obstacle, the shaft 3 falls down the sector 3<a> and the scoop is lowered. In a modified form, the shaft 3 is carried in guides 3<1> and is pressed forward by springs within the guides. When the scoop is struck so as to detach it from the hook 12, or from a bracket used instead of the hook 12, it is pressed rearwards against the springs in the guides 3<1>; the springs then expand and force forward the scoop, which thereupon picks up the obstacle. To cause the scoop to fall more quickly, it may be acted upon by a leaf spring 9 or by a spiral spring 10 or by the two springs acting together. The scoop may be raised through levers 17, 18, 19, 20. Corrugated indiarubber may be fitted to the underside of the scoop so as to make it grip the road when lowered. The space beneath the guard 5 is protected by a hinged flap 16, the lower part of which is made of india-rubber or leather and the upper part of netting.
