Title: Improvements in Sheet Assembling Mechanism.
IPC: B41F13/68
Filed: 1912-09-20
Granted: 1913-09-22
Abstract: 21,459. Goss Printing Press Co., [Goss Printing Press Co.]. Sept, 20. Associating and delivery apparatus; dropping- roller and like sheet feeds; sheet guides; sheetregistering devices.-A machine for associating sheets cut from a web with inset and cover sheets, is so constructed that the main sheets are first associated on the collecting-cylinder. and after they leave this cylinder they receive the supplemental sheets on both sides of the bunch. The combined product is folded and delivered. As shown, a number of webs 6 .... 11 are passed over turning-bars and. guide-rollers 13, 14 to cutting-rolls 15, 16 and forwarding- rolls 17 which deliver the sheets to a collecting- cylinder 18. This cylinder associates a number of sheets in known manner, and an associated batch is guided by switches 21, 22 to a tape path 45, 46. As the sheets enter this path 45, 46 they meet inset sheets which have been forwarded by a gripper cylinder 23, and also cover sheets forwarded by belts 39, 40, and forwarding-rolls 43, 44. The combined product then passes over a table 47, a stop 48 registers the sheets exactly, and an oscillating blade 49 then folds the combined product with the inset sheets inside, and the cover-sheets outside, the main sheets. The product finally passes to a belt 52. The inset and the cover-sheets are fed by known automatic feed-mechanisms arranged inside the main frame 4, Fig. 3, of the apparatus. The inset sheets are forwarded by tapes over a folding-table 28 fitted with side guides 30, and a front stop. A folding-blade 31 folds the sheets into tapes 33, 34, which deliver the sheets over a table 35 to a registering-device 36 which registers the sheets prior to their being taken by the cylinder 23 before referred to. The cover-sheets are similarly fed over a table 36', folded by a blade 37, and forwarded by tapes to a registering-device 42 which is formed with guides to prevent the sheets from rising. At the required time the device 42 is raised out of the path of the sheet and the feed-roller 44 raised into contact with a roller 43 to forward the cover-sheet to meet the other sheets. If a single-width sheet is fed over the table 36<1>, it is guided by the left edge of the table 36<1>, and a drop-roller 53 forwards the sheet through the folding-rolls 38, the folding-blade 37 in this case assisting to direct the sheet into the bite of the rolls 38. The drop-roller 53, roller 44, and registering-device 42 are all actuated by lever mechanism and controlled by cams on a shaft 59.

Abstract: 23,536. McCourt, C. D., and Bonecourt Surface Combustion, Ltd. Oct. 15 [Cognate Application, 24,294/12.] Reverberatory f u r n a c e s; metal-heating furnaces.-Processes of combustion such as described in Specifications 25,808/09, 19,490/12, [both in Class 51 (i), Furnaces &c., Combustion apparatus of], 29,430/09, and 4364/10, are adapted to reverberatory and other enclosed furnaces for heating or annealing armourplates and other large masses of metal, or for melting metal and the like, the heating being effected mainly by heat radiated from the combustion beds or from the walls &c. heated by them. The combustion bed is formed in a slab or block or body of refractory material in which troughs or recesses b, Fig. 1, are formed for the reception of granular refractory material, to the interstices of which a mixture of gas and air is supplied by pipes d, c; or liquid fuel may be used. The pipes d are in tunnels e through which air is drawn for combustion, thus cooling the block and heating the air. The pipes or ducts c may be cooled by water jackets or otherwise. The block may form part of the floor of a furnace, in which case the masses of metal &c. are supported above the combustion beds by making the depths of the beds less than the depths of the troughs b, or otherwise. The block, or several of such blocks, may be mounted on one or more carriages and run into the furnace. Fig. 2 shows a furnace with a combustion bed f supported by an arch g; ducts g<1> conduct the combustion products to the furnace chamber h, whence they pass through one or more passages i to a chamber containing an air-heater k. Fig. 3 shows part of a reverberatory furnace heated by a combustion bed in one or more troughs 2 at the sides or ends of the hearth. The air and gas for combustion are supplied by valves 6, 7, Fig. 4, and a mixing-chamber 5 to a header 4, with pipes 3 leading to the combustion bed. The air or gas may be heated, for example as described in Specification 6732/12 Furnaces may be constructed with combustion beds in more than one side, for example in the floor and the arch. In treating armour, the upper surface of the plate may be open to the atmosphere, or otherwise cooled by liquids or gases.

Granted: 1913-06-26
Abstract: 26,734. Vaughan, S. Nov. 21. Trees and stretchers.-A boottree, of the type in which a heelpiece and a toe-piece are connected by a pair of toggle links adjustably secured together by a spring catch carried by one link engaging one of a series of holes formed in the second link, has the spring catch formed from a length of wire d bent to provide a cranked end d<1> for engaging the holes a<1> in the one member a, and a part d' for hinging to a socket piece c pivoted to the heel member b. To form the hinge, a lip c<1> on the socket piece is bent round the part d<2> of the wire. A leaf spring c<3> attached to the socket piece holds the part d' of the wire in position in the hole. When it is desired to adjust the length of the tree, a finger-piece c<2> attached to the wire is pressed inwards, thus forcing the part d' outwards against the pressure of the spring c<3>. In an alternative form, the catch is formed from a blank of sheet metal.

Abstract: 27,929. French, G. F. Dec. 4. Leaf-turners.-A leaf-turner for music &c. in which arms f interleaved with the music move in a vertical plane about an axis is shown in plan in Fig. 3. The arms f are operated by a pin v<3> which engages notches in the arms and is formed at the end of a bolt v. The bolt v is slidably mounted in a boss n carried by a crank m on a spindle l rotated by a link s and handle q. A spring within the boss n presses the projection v<3> into the recesses in the arms f. Rotation of the handle q causes the crank m, boss n, and bolt v to rotate, the projection v<3> carrying over the arm with which it is in contact. A spring t returns the handle q to its original position, and the spring within the boss n presses the pin v<3> into engagement with the next arm f. Clips are provided for holding the music to the leaf-turner, and stationary washers are placed on the axes g between the arms f to prevent the movement of one arm from being communicated to the next.

Abstract: 622. Conrad, F. Jan. 10, 1912, [Convention date]. Vapour apparatus, arrangements of.-Two electric current-rectifiers 1, 2, for instance, mercury vapour apparatus, are supplied from four transformers 13, 14, 15, 16 having their primary windings arranged in series in pairs 20, 21 and 22, 23. Each anode of each rectifier, for example the anode 3, is supplied from the secondary winding, such as 9, of a transformer 13, the primary of which is in series with that of another transformer 14, the secondary 10 of which is connected to an anode 5 of the other rectifier. All the secondary windings have a common connexion to the cathodes of the converters. The current flowing on the occurrence of short-circuits between the anodes 3, 4 or 5, 6 of any rectifier is thus limited, as the shortcircuit always includes the secondary of a momentarily idle transformer, which therefore acts as a choking-coil.

Abstract: 6743. Romeyn, J. March 19. Pistons, cooling.-In a piston for an internalcombustion engine which is cooled by water supplied through jointed pipes, escape of water from the cooling system into the crank chamber is prevented by oil seals placed over the joints of the pipes. The water is supplied through a pin 3, Fig. 2, carried by a stationary part, and is discharged into the piston through a pin 4, carried by the piston, after traversing the hollow rods 1, 2. The water traverses the joints by means of tubes passing through stuffing- boxes. The joints are covered by caps 7, 8, 13, which communicate by the pipe 12, the passage 14, and the pipe 15; and the system is supplied with oil by the passage 9. The oil may be supplied to the system by the lubricating-pump as shown in Fig. 4. A loaded valve 19 is interposed in the discharge pipe of the pump 18 in order to ensure that the pressure in the pipe 21 leading to the oilpacking system shall be sufficient. To test the rate at which the oil is leaking out of the system, a cock 22 is closed, and the rate is observed at which the plunger 23 falls under the influence of a spring 25 when a catch 26 is withdrawn.
