Title: Improved Process for Producing Collars for Draft Animals.
Inventor: SCHOL HUGO
Filed: 1907-11-28
Granted: 1908-11-26
Abstract: 26,324. Schol, H. Nov. 28. Moulds.-Collars for draught animals are formed from wood or paper matter in a mould which consists of a base plate a and four detachable upper plates b, c, d, e, the upper and base plates being connected together by studs k and bolts i. The upper parts are constructed so as to form a guide for a stamp g, and channels h are provided in the base plate to allow the fluid to escape when pressure is applied, sieve plates at the ends of the channels preventing the pulp from being pressed out. When the pulp, which consists of separated wood or paper matter converted into a pulpy mass by being mixed with glue, india-rubber, starch, gypsum, chalk, baryta, or clay, has been pressed sufficiently, as shown by the stamp reaching a mark, the parts of the mould are disconnected, and the collar is dried and soaked in oil or painted to render it water-proof. The draught fittings &c. are secured to the collar by bolts or rivets passing through holes which may be drilled or can be formed on the collar during the moulding process.

Title: Improved Sheet Feeding Device.
Inventor: FAIRWEATHER WALLACE
IPC: B65H3/06
Filed: 1909-07-05
Granted: 1910-07-05
Abstract: 15,651. Fairweather, W., [Underwood Typewriter Co.]. July 5. Feeding sheets; pile tables; sheet separators. - I n stencil-duplicating or other printing machines in which set-off sheets are used, the set-off sheets are fed from a pile 55 vertically below the sheets 11 to be printed on. In each case the pile of sheets is placed on a table between spring- pressed front clips 63 and an adjustable back - stop with a sliding presser-bar 88. A friction sepa rating-roller 56 is carried back and forth over the pile by arms 57 pivoted to extensions 58 of slides 14 reciprocated by a crank 17 actuated by gearing 24, 7, 8, 9 from the stencil drum 1, which may be removable. On its backward motion the roller is free to rotate until near the end of its stroke, when a projecting stop 60 engages a lever 47 and releases a catch 42, Fig. 5, and allows a lever 37 to rise. This permits a clutch ball to rise by spring pressure and wedge against the disk 31 thus preventing further rotation of the roller 56, which then buckles the top sheet against the stop 88, and releases it from the clips 63. On the forward motion, the roller 56 is prevented from turning by the clutch ball 28, and the sheet is therefore fed forward. Towards the end of the forward stroke, the clutch ball is released by a stop 59 engaging an arm 39 and re-setting the lever 37. From the top pile 11 the sheet passes between the printing-roller 1 and the pressure roller 3, while, simultaneously, a sheet from the pile 55 passes up the guide 65, between the rolls 66, 67, and is delivered below the printed sheet. The slides 14 are made to move simultaneously, although only one is driven, by wheels 22 on a shaft 15 engaging with fixed racks 23 on each side of the machine. The pressure on the roller 3 may be varied by a segment and gear operating a cam, as shown in Fig. 2. When introducing a fresh pile of papers, the clips 63 are raised by levers 85, or by cams 71. Ratchet clutches may be used instead of ball clutches to hold the rollers 56.

Abstract: 21,542. Siemens Bros. Dynamo Works, [Siemens-Schuckertwerke]. Sept. 21. Alternating - c u r r e n t commutator machines; commutating poles a n d windings.-In a polyphase commutator m a c h i n e having an odd number of phases and a chord-wound armature, together with a reduced number of commutating - poles, the phase of each commutating-field, or of that component of it which serves to compensate the reactance voltage of the armature coils undergoing commutation, is displaced by ninety electrical degrees with respect to the current flowing from the set of brushes lying in the same diameter as the pole itself, or from a set of brushes displaced from this position by the pole-pitch, or by an uneven integral number of main pole-pitches. With m phases, a suitable armature coil-span given as a fraction of one pole-pitch is (m-1)/m. Fig. 1 shows a three-phase arrangement, in which the ends of two armature coils are situated in the same slot, and in which each commutating-pole B<1>, B<2>, B<3> is provided with coils supplied with two of the three-phase current i<1>, i<2>, i<3> flowing in at the brushes. For example, in a two-pole machine, the phase of the field of the pole B<3> should be in quadrature with the current i<3> flowing in at the brush situated on the same diameter as the pole B<3>; the pole B<3> is excited by the vertical difference of the currents i<1>, i<2> passing through the brushes on each side of the pole. One winding only may be placed on each commutating-pole, being supplied from a transformer having windings which carry the brush currents ; or a rotating-field phase transformer, or simple transformers having one winding connected in star and the other in delta, may be used to obtain the requisite phase-displacement. The voltages induced in the armature coils by the transformer action and rotation of the main field may also be compensated either by extra windings on the commutating-poles or by applying supplementary or suitably adjusted voltages to the existing commutating-coils.

Abstract: 29,850. Converse, F. B. April 19. [Convention date]. Distributing matrices.-Relates to improvements on the devices described in Specification 29,340/09, wherein means are provided by which thick matrices are fed along the distributor at longer intervals than thin matrices. In the device shown in Fig. 1, the lifting - finger E which transfers the matrices B from the box A to the distributing - bar C is provided with a hook e' which is adapted to catch over a lip e<2>. As each matrix is lifted clear of the shoulders a<1>, b<1>, it is pushed forward by the line and the finger E is tilted over. If the matrix is thick, the finger tilts sufficiently to bring the hook e<1> over the lip e<2>, the finger being thus held back so that the second stroke is idle and no matrix is lifted. The hook e<1> is, however, lifted clear so that the finger springs back against the following matrix, which is thus lifted on the third stroke of the finger. In the device shown in Fig. 6, the box A is provided with guide-rails h and a feeler G, which is pivoted freely on a pin y and normally lies so that its lip g<1> is beneath the front matrix. When a thick matrix is lifted by the finger E, the lip g<1> rises in front of the next matrix and holds it back. When the finger E descends, it bears upon the lifted matrix until a hole g<4> in the finger has passed below a pin g<3> on the feeler. The lip g<1> holds the next matrix back so that the second stroke of the finger E is idle, but, as the finger descends, the hole g<4> is engaged by the pin g<3> so that the feeler is depressed and the next matrix is pressed forward to engage the finger E during the third stroke. When a thin matrix is presented, the lip g<1> comes beneath the second matrix as well as the first so that there is no interference by the feeler, and the finger E lifts a matrix at each stroke. In both devices the finger E feeds the screws D with thick matrices in alternate convolutions and thin matrices in consecutive convolutions.
