Title: Improvements in and relating to Fastenings and Indicators or Detectors for the Doors of Railway and other Wagons.
IPC: E05B65/14
Filed: 1913-11-03
Granted: 1914-04-30
Abstract: 25,048. Stone & Co., J., [O'Connor, M. S. S.]. Nov. 3. Security indicators for door fastenings; theft alarms.-Fastenings for railway-wagon doors are arranged so that two independent operations that cannot be performed by one man are necessary before the doors on either side of the wagon can be opened, an indicator device being provided which normally locks the bolting-devices and, when disengaged, cannot be reset until the wagon. is unloaded. The doors are secured by a sliding bolt c, which is mounted on the door b, and engages a bracket d on the door b<1>, and is operated by a sliding rod f connected to the bolt by a clutch device h, which enables the rod and bolt to be disconnected when the door is opened. The rod f is normally secured against operation by a vertical rod m In the floor of the wagon are provided indicator. bars u inter-connected by a toggle arrangement w, so that they work together, and locked when pressed inwards by a catch, which can be released to reset the bars only after raising a trap-door in the floor of the wagon. The indicator bars u, when in the projected position shown, are locked by the vertical rods m, both of which have to be partly raised before either bar can be pushed inwards, this inward movement of the bar being necessary, however, before the rod m can be fully raised to release the horizontal rod f. In order therefore to unfasten the doors, first both rods m have to be simultaneously raised, then the indicator bars pressed inwards, the rod m on the side to be opened further raised, and finally the rod f moved to withdraw the bolt e and turned to disengage the clutch h. The connexion between the rods m and the indicator bars is automatic so that the bars can be projected before the wagon is loaded and the doors fastened. The bars u pass through sealboxes, so that a seal is secured so long as the bars are projected. If the wagon is tampered with by thieves, an indication is thus given. In a modification, the movement of the indicator bars u is not prevented by the rods m, although the rods m are still locked by the indicator bars. In this case, the bars u are secured by a separate key-operated catch, and the handles 7, 8 of the rods m, f respectively are sufficiently wide apart to make operation by two men necessary.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Sheet-feeding Machines.
Inventor: WADE HAROLD
IPC: B65H9/14
Filed: 1914-05-05
Granted: 1915-01-28
Abstract: 11,118. Wade, H., [Cross Paper Feeder Co.]. May 5. Sheet-separators; registering-devices; carriers; dropping-roller feeds.-Relates to apparatus for feeding sheets to printing and like machines, of the kind in which the sheet is registered against the front stops by two sets of rollers &c. acting intermittently on opposite sides of the centre line of the sheet, and consists in arranging such devices to act alternately, as well as intermittently, and in the provision of mechanism for returning an improperly-fed sheet out of reach of the grippers. The invention is described as applied to a Cross Paper Feeder in which the sheets are separated from the top of the pile by friction feed wheels raised and lowered by mechanism controlled by a feeler engaging the front edge of the separated sheet. The sheet is then fed to the machine by rollers 3, 12 on shafts 5 and 14 connected by chain and spur gear 15, 16, and co-operating drop rollers 4, 13, the shafts 5, 14 being oscillated by gearing from the sector 6 rocked by rack-and-pinion gear from the main shaft 10. The rollers 13 are carried on a shaft supported in arms 15<1> on a sleeve 17 loose on the sliaft 41, and rocked thereon by a rod 18 and bell-crank 20 from a cam 21 on the shaft 10. When the sheet has reached or nearly reached the front stops 11, the sheet is acted on by two notched registering- rollers 24 on a shaft 26 driven continuously by chain gear 27 from the shaft 10. The rollers 24 are set so that a projection on one is in alinement with a recess on the other, whereby they act alternately. Coacting with the rollers 24 are rollers 25 carried in bell-cranks 30, pivoted on arms 31 fixed to a transverse rod 32. Each bell-crank carries a finger 35, in contact with arms 36 on the sleeve 17, so that as the rollers 13 are raised, the rollers 25 are lowered by springs into contact with the rollers 24 and vice versa. The alternate action of the registering rolls may be effected by separating and bringing together the rolls of each pair alternately, instead of employing notched rolls. If the sheet has not been positioned correctly against the stops 11, a pawl 56 on a swinging lever 51 is lowered by the action of a feeler 60 into engagement with a sector 49 fixed on a shaft 43 and connected yieldingly bv a rod 45 to an arm 46 on the shaft 41. On the shaft 41 are arms 40 carrying sectors 38, which, when the shaft 41 is rocked, are lowered into contact with rollers 39, on the shaft 14 of the rollers 12, which is now rotating in the opposite direction,. whereby the sheet is withdrawn from the stops 11 just before the grippers 136 on the cylinder would seize it normally.

Abstract: 12,696. Breslauer, M., and Moriondi, C. May 24,1913, [Convention date]. Void [Published under Sect. 91 of the Act]. Paper, paper pulp and the like, forming yarns and threads from.-In the manufacture of threads composed of paper combined with textile fibres, the textile fibres in a loose condition are combined with paper bands either during or after twisting. A strip of paper from a roll 1, Fig. 1, passes through a trough 2 in which fibres are intimately mixed with liquid. The strip passes out over a small roller 3 to a spindle 9, the twisting due to which extends beyond the roller 3 into the trough 2. The strip, during twisting, combines with the fibres. Warm air or other gas from nozzles 10 dries the thread on its way to the spindle 9. The fibres may be projected on to the twisting strip of paper by means of compressed air within a chamber provided with a suction pipe. The strip of paper may be delivered from a disk spindle and passed over a damping-roller before being brought into contact with the fibres, and the strip may pass through the chamber either vertically or horizontally. According to Fig. 5, the paper strip 7 is folded by a device 29, fibres fall from a container 31, the folding is completed by a device 30, the strip passes over a roller 32 and is twisted and wound in a bobbin 33. The strip may pass through the container and may be coated with adhesive before being folded or just before receiving the fibres. As applied to a paper spinning machine with a disk spindle, the paper band 7, Fig. 9, leaves the disk spindle 38 by which it is twisted, passes around drawing- rollers 39, 40, receives adhesive from the roll 41 and fibres from the container 31, is dried by a blast device 45 and wound on a bobbin 44. The strip may be passed through the container, either horizontally or vertically. Fig. 16 shows the application of a band of fibres to a strip of paper. Strips of fibres from the roll 62 pass through rubbing leathers 65, 66, and are stretched by rollers 67 and united with a strip of paper 69. Strips of fibres from a container may be delivered direct to the rollers 67. The strip of fibres may be produced in a moist state by feeding a mixture of fibres and water to a metal grating 49, Fig. 13, partly covered with strips of wax or rubber between which the fibres are formed into a strip. A suction device 50<a> withdraws water. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 17, a twisted paper thread 70 is opened by a twist tube 73 so that it can receive the fibres, and during its passage to the roller 74 it is again closed and twisted with the libres.
