Granted: 1910-03-31
Abstract: 11,309. Hawd, J. W., and Wheatley, H. May 13. Feeding sheets.-Sheets are fed to printing, folding, ruling, and like machines by means of the apparatus shown. The sheets are piled on a table b, which is automatically raised by two screws c geared together and actuated by bevel-gearing and a ratchet-wheel e<2>, which is operated by a pawl h<1> on a lever h, the reciprocations of which by a cam g<2> and lever h<2> are controlled by an oscillating shaft f<1>, actuated by the cam g<2> and provided with feelers which contact with the pile. The wheel e<2> is positively driven only when the height of the pile has been lowered to a definite position. At each edge, the top sheet is acted on by an india-rubber or like rucker p with inclined teeth, the rucker being moved inwards by cam-mechanism, and raised from the pile during its return motion. The rucked sheet is seized by reciprocating gripping- members l<1>, l<3>, the member l<3> being carried by a shaft k oscillated by a cam and lever from the shaft and the member l<1> being actuated by a camoperated lever s to close the grippers, and by a stop on the framing to open them. The grippers l<1>, l<3> deliver the sheet to forwarding-tapes v. To prevent more than one sheet from being fed at a time, bellows q are arranged to blow on the top sheet as it is being removed, and weighted pointers on the rear of the pile act on the next sheet as the top one is being removed.

The wick-guard C has a flange C<1>, which rests on the flange a<5> and supports the flange b<2> of the basket B. The reservoir A is made with notched projecting plates a<1>, Fig. 1, which are engaged by pins b<1> on the basket B, the pins being locked in position by the spring a<2>. The rack d<1> and the pinion e<1> form the connexion between the wick-holder D and the basket B, to which they are respectively connected. A rod d' resting on the bottom of the reservoir, prevents the holder D from dropping into the reservoir.

Abstract: 14,387. Sampson, T. Sept. 1. Mules.-A latch c is arranged so as automatically to lock the setting-on rod of a mule or like machine when the belt is placed on the loose pulley, or when it is retained in determined positions partly on and partly off the loose pulley, so as to drive the machine at different speeds. The latch is pivoted to the bracket which carries the setting-on rod and is raised by a sliding bar d on the rod when starting the machine. The bar d is provided with slots, which in one position register with corresponding slots in the rod, arranged so as to determine the required intermediate speeds.

Title: Improved Combined Boot-jack and Foot-rest.
Inventor: SECKENDORFF HERMANN
IPC: A47G25/86
Filed: 1909-08-07
Granted: 1910-01-13
Abstract: 18,282. Seckendorff, H. Aug. 7. Rests, foot.-A convertible boot-jack and footrest is made to take up either form, at will, by pressing a part of the appliance. Two pairs of legs b, g are connected to each other by pivots f, the pair b carrying a board c to engage the boot, and the pair g having pivoted to them a board d, which is also connected to the legs b by links h. By pressing down a cross-bar a at the lower upturned ends of the legs b, the apparatus takes the form of a foot-rest, a spring l pulling up the legs g, thus causing the board d to rock the links h over their pivots until they fall on pins i, as shown in Fig. 3. Pressing down the extremity of the board d lifts the links from the pins, and causes the appliance to collapse and take up the boot-jack form.

Abstract: 22,905. Kayser, C. W., and Robinson, J. E. Oct. 7. Gearing for stopping and starting machinery. -Relates to a modification of the emergency release apparatus for clutches for rolling- mills &c. described in Specification 26,558/07. A compression spring e, or steam, hydraulic, compressed-air, or other fluid pressure presses down a piston c, to which is attached a rod d acting on the clutchoperating lever. A continuation d' of the rod d is secured to a block f, which carries a half-nut k adapted to engage a screwed rod h carried in a bearing i. When the rod h is rotated by a hand-wheel, the block f and piston c are lifted and the clutch is engaged, the block being retained in its upper position by a spring catch r. The half-nut k is then removed from the screw rod by a cam l. When immediate release of the clutch is desired, the catch r is removed by means of the hand-lever n, or by electro-magnets, hydraulic, pneumatic, or steam connexions, as in the above mentioned Specification, and the rod d falls under the influence of the spring &c. e. To deaden the blow of the piston c on its cylinder b, a leather or other washer p and adjustable air valves may be provided. A tension spring may be employed to actuate the piston c, and the spring may be arranged outside the cylinder b.

Abstract: 6966. Theilsiefje, A. W., and Theilsiefje, H. H. March 20. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Suspension apparatus. -The upward and downward movement of a ship's cabin is counteracted by an arrangement of pneumaticallycontrolled apparatus. A ship's cabin D is supported by piston-rods working in cylinders C, C<1> secured to the deck. The lower ends of the cylinders C, C<1> are connected to a compressed-air reservoir B by pipes 7, 7' fitted with valves 8, 8<1>. High and low pressure cylinders E, E<1>, F, F<1> respectively are secured to the cabin D and have piston-rods 15 secured to the deck. Movement of the ship causes relative movement of the spindle 19 and the casing of the controlling-valves, Fig. 4, situated on the top of the cabin. Should the vessel rise on a swell, the frame 20 bears down, closing the ports of the pipes 11, 39 and opening the exhaust ports 26, 42 of the valves 25, 41, causing air from the cylinders E, E<1> to flow into the lowpressure reservoir 28 and air from the cylinders F, F<1> to pass into the atmosphere. The ship thus ascends without taking the cabin with it. Air is also forced into the reservoir B by the pistons in the cylinders C, C<1>. The opposite effects take place when the ship descends.

Abstract: 12,239. Stettiner-Maschinenbau Akt.- Ges. "Vulcan." June 28, 1910, [Convention date]. Clutches and speed-varying mechanism.-For facilitating the introduction and exhaust of liquid to hydraulic gears of the kind described in Specification 13,864/06, centrifugal force is imparted to the liquid on its entry, and a discharge valve is placed on the largest diameter of the rotating portion of the gear. The Figure shows the three-way cock 1 controlling the flow of liquid to the chamber 2, which leads to the outside of the rotating wheel 8 and to the face of the piston 7 in the chamber 4 which controls the movement of the discharge valve 6. The pressure set up in the chamber 4 by centrifugal force is sufficient to overcome the force due to the rotating valve mass, and in the working state of the gear the valve remains closed. When the cock 1 is set to exhaust the liquid from the casing, the liquid under pressure in the chamber 4 leads past the piston, and the double-seat valve 6 is opened by the pressure of the liquid in the casing and by centrifugal force.
