Granted: 1911-07-17
Abstract: 16,918. Middlesworth, C. V. Oct. 15, 1909, [Convention date]. Feeding sheets; delivery apparatus.-A rotary printing-machine in which grippers are opened at every revolution or at every alternate revolution is constructed with a single frame which carries the sliding cam for operating the grippers, the impression and delivery cylinders, and the feed-table and front stops. The sheets are fed over a table 12, which is adapted to be raised when the impression cylinder is tripped, as described in Specification 16,919/10, by means of a bracket 13 formed with a housing 18, which embraces a circular extension of the impression cylinder. The bracket 13 is pivoted to links 16<a>. The housing 18 supports detachable arms 22 provided with journal bearings in which is mounted a shaft 20 carrying adjustably mounted rods 29, Fig. 11, from which depend curved guides 36 and straight arms 35 which coact with tongues 38 projecting from the feed table. The rods 29 are longitudinally adjustable by means of spring-pressed nuts 33 in brackets 25, which are angularly adjustable on the shaft 20. The stops are raised for every rotation or for alternate rotations of the impression cylinder by means of a cam-actuated lever 112, Fig. 2, which is normally connected to a spring- controlled bell-crank lever 110 with a rounded end which engages a stop 106 on a lever secured to the shaft 20. The connexion between the levers 112, 110 consists of a plunger 116 in a guide 115 on the lever 110, the plunger being withdrawn from the lever 110 by a projection 119<a> on a lever 120, which is operated by the cam 100. The front of the feed-table is supported by an adjustable screw 15. The sheets are delivered by grippers 126 on a skeleton cylinder 124 on a shaft 127, and these grippers are operated so as to take the sheets at every or alternate revolntions by cam surfaces 133, 134 integral with the cam which operates the grippers of the impression cylinder.
