Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Machining Curved Stereotype Plates.
IPC: B41D5/00
Filed: 1911-12-28
Granted: 1912-12-23
Abstract: 29,212. M³nchener-Zeitungs-Verlag Ges. Dec. 29, 1910, [Convention date]. Printing-surfaces. -Relates to machines for trimming curved stereotype plates, of the kind wherein the plate is placed on a saddle which carries it past rotary cutters to machine its curved edges, and deposits it in a trough where it is shaved bv a knife fast to the saddle-shaft. The saddle 1 for supporting the plate is carried by a cylinder 1<a> fast on a shaft 83. This shaft is driven intermittently from a worm-wheel 48 loose thereon, which has on one side a ratchetwheel 61, with which a pawl mounted on a crank on the shaft 83 engages when a starting- lever 2 is operated. The wheel 48 is driven from a worm 49 on a cross-shaft 54<a>, driven by worm gearing from the main shaft 79. As the saddle 1 commences to rotate, the plate is supported and forced round past the milling- cutters 10<a> into the trough 13 by ledges 7<a>, 7b, normally drawn inward by springs 7<c>, but intermittently projected outward by cams 8<a>, 8<b> rotated through a quadrant at each half-revolution of the saddle by star-wheels 8<f>. The plate is held during rotation by a roller held against the plate by a cam. When the curved plate is in the trough 13, the ledge 7<b>, which has been driving it, is withdrawn and a stop is projected over the edge of the trough, to hold the plate against further rotation, by a cam on the shaft 76. A knife 10<b> then shaves out the inside of the plate and a brush 73 sweeps out the metal. The stop holding the plate in the trough is then withdrawn and the ledge 7<b> projected, whereupon the continued motion of the saddle 1 raises the plate to its original position. At the end of two complete revolutions, the starting- lever 2, which has been held in position by a catch 6, is allowed to return and the shaft 83 comes to rest. The partly finished plate is then moved longitudinally over milling-cutters 41<b> for trimming the straight edges, by a conveyer 22, which is reciprocated in guides 25 by a right and left handed screw 20. This screw is rotated during the first part of the cycle by free-wheel gearing 30, 32, 34 from a wheel 27 on the shaft 83. Before the shaft 83 comes to rest, a cam 77, by means of a rod 57, throws a clutch 56 into engagement, connecting the shaft 76 through worm gearing 49, 50 with the main driving-shaft 79. The shaft 76 thus continues rotating to drive the conveyer, the free-wheel gearing 30 overrunning. The cutters 41<b> for trimming the straight edges, which are actuated by gearing 43<b> from a shaft 43<c> driven continuously from the main shaft 79 by helical gearing, are carried on arms 44<b> loosely mounted on the shaft 43<c>. These arms have lugs 46<b> engaging screws 46<a>, which can be operated by hand-wheels 46 to adjust the cutters to any variation in the width of the plate. At the conclusion of this operation, the cam 77 permits the spring 58 to uncouple the clutch 56, and the apparatus comes to rest ready to receive the next plate.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Smoke Consuming Furnaces.
Inventor: KOWITZKE HERMANN
Filed: 1912-03-18
Granted: 1913-02-20
Abstract: 6674. Kowitzke, H. March 18. Air supply, regulating; air, supplying; linings; fire - bridges.- In a supplementary airsupply apparatus set in action by the movements of the fire-door and controlled by adjustable clock - work, the airvalves are retained closed during the opening of the fire-door and while it remains open, and are opened only on closing the fire-door. A steam supply with a distributing arch above it and a special construction of furnace lining with air valves arranged therein form subsidiary features. Figs. 1 and show the valve-actuating means. Pivoted valves 2, 3 in the dead-plate and 5 in the airbridge are connected to a slide 13 actuated through special gearing 14, 15 from the rod 26 of the clock-work 1. The gearing 14, 15 comprises a pair of geared pinions each having a long tooth 20 and 21, adapted to engage a lug on the slide 13. In operation, the opening of the fire-door raises an arm 34 adjustably fixed on the rod 26 and thus turns the gearing. from the position shown in Fig. 4 to that shown in Fig. 1. Towards the end of this movement, the tooth 20 engages the lug 22 on the slide 13 and, slightly raising it, enters a notch 35 therein, thus locking the air-valves closed. On closing the fire-door, the arm 34 is released and the arm 24, pulled down by the adjustable weight 25, begins to drop under control of the clock-work 1 so that the slide 13 is moved to the left by the tooth 20, thus gradually opening the valves. About half-way, the tooth 20 clears the notch 35, and the tooth 21, moving in the opposite direction, engages the lug 23 and, as the arm 24 continues to descend, gradually closes the valves. Alternatively, the teeth 20, 21 may be mounted on the same shaft, they and the lugs which they engage being suitably modified. The slide 13 is provided with a handle for moving it by hand if desired. A steam supply through a perforated pipe 97 above the bridge is turned on and off at the same time as the air. An arch 99 is preferably arranged above the steam jets. Fig. 11 shows a cross-section of one side of the grate with the air-valve 82 mounted therein on a spindle 83, which extends to the front of the furnace and is connected up with the controlling-apparatus. Plates 51, 52 are disconnectibly secured together by means of hooks 54, 55, &c., and across their upper edges are laid ribbed plates 113 affording transverse passages 115. The plates 51, 52, 113 thus form a chamber through which air can pass from below to above the grate under control of the valve 82. The plate 52 is formed with inwardly projecting ribs 58, 59 the spaces between and below which become filled with ashes &c., while the upper one carries fire-bricks 112.
