Title: Improvements in Platen Printing Presses.
Inventor: SCHOLES JOHN
IPC: B41F1/28
Filed: 1910-12-17
Granted: 1911-12-18
Abstract: 29,340. Scholes, J., Wolstenholme, C., and Barton, R. J. Dec. 17. Delivery apparatus.-Platen printing - presses are fitted with positively operated paper-lifting fingers which are mounted so as to turn about the upper edge of the platen and so as to lift the upper edge of the sheet, and this device is combined with means for positively operating a counting-device for all operations except when the platen is checked. As applied to a " Phoenix " type of press, Figs. 1 and 2, one of the arms B that reciprocates and rocks the platen A is fitted with a pivoted spring-controlled rod E provided with an inclined end E<2> and adapted to be oscillated by a cam F on a crank-pin C which reciprocates the arm B. When a bowl on the rod E bears on the circular part of cam F, the rod E occupies the full-line position shown in Fig. 2, and an arm G on a spring-controlled shaft G<1>, on which a sheetlifting finger G<2> is fixed, causes the finger G<2> to lie close to the platen. Just as the impression is produced, a depression F<1> in the cam F permits the rod E to be raised to the position shown by dotted lines in Fig. 2, and a counting- device H carried by rod E is actuated by a projection J carried by the handle D of an eccentric platen trip, and the whole is so arranged that if the platen is tripped, the counting- device is not actuated. A raised part F<2> of the cam F operates the finger G<2> to raise the sheet when the platen is opened. The position of the parts J, H may be interchanged. In a modification, Fig. 8, as applied to an ordinary rocking platen, the finger G<2> is operated by a crank G<4>, lever E, and a cam F driven one complete revolution for each impression. In the raised position of the finger G<2> the pivotal axis of the two parts E, G coincides with the axis of the platen, and in this position the raised part of the cam F acts on the lever E. A crank S carried by the cam F operates a lever T pivoted to a block T<2> on the " trip " handle D, the block T<2> also carrying the counting-device H normally actuated by lever T. When the handle D is moved to trip the platen, the lever T is moved out of the path of the crank S.

The presser-foot is also cut away to correspond with the shank cavity. The needle-bar is laterally vibrated, to cause the needle alternately to enter and pass beyond the shank, for which purpose it is adjustably connected to a grooved pivoted segment-lever having a stud entering a groove in a cam-disk driven at one half the speed of the main shaft. The throat-plate 12 has a button receiving slot 14 with a shank cavity 15 at one side formed with a needle aperture 16 and at the other, a cavity 17 partly covered by a plate 18 beneath which passes a slide 20 to which is attached an upturned lip 22 forming a clampjaw for engaging the button. The rearward end of the slide 20 has a socket containing a pin 26, between which and the end of the socket is interposed a spring 29. Depending from the end of the slide 20, through the bedplate, is a pin 30, which enters an aperture in one end of a pivoted lever 31, the other arm 34 of which is connected to a rod 37 journaled in a bracket 38 and connected to the presser-lifting angle lever, which is operated by means of an arm projecting from a collar fixed on a rockshaft mounted beneath the table, and connected to a knee-lever or treadle. The presser-foot 44 is cut away at 45 to register with the slot 15. When the presser-foot is raised and the clamp retracted, a button is placed in the slot 14 and folded material introduced beneath the presserfoot. The treadle is then released, to allow the clamp to press the button-shank into the aperture 15 and against the cloth, and the predetermined number of stitches are made before the machine is automatically stopped. The position of the shank will determine whether or not the fastening is by blind-stitching.

Abstract: 564. Greenwood, C. V. Jan. 8. [Cognate Application, 17,862/12.] Gums, carbohydrate. - Gummy products are obtained from seeds, for example those of the Leguminosµ, Gruinales, &c., in particular Acacia bessoniana, A. lophanta, and A. leucophcea (panicled acacia), Cassia sieberiana, C. occidentalis, and C. fistula (golden shower), Parkinsonia aculeata, Poinciana regia, Balsamocarpon, brevifolium (algarobilla), Gleditshia japonica (honey locust), Linum usitatissimum (linseed), Plantago Psyllium (fleawort), Trigonella Faenum graecum (fenugreek), Cydonia, vulgaris (quince), and, in some cases, Ceratonia siliqua. The tannin and colouring-matters in the husks &c. are rendered insoluble, fixed, extracted, or bleached prior to extraction of the gum, by steeping in chemical solutions of, for example, formaldehyde or its derivatives, alcohol, ammonium sulphate, sodium silicofluoride, or oxidizing - agents such as hydrogen peroxide, hypochlorites, or bleaching-powder, or acids such as sulphurous, hydrofluoric, oxalic, or acetic, or alkalies and alkaline earths. Small seeds or those from which the endosperm cannot be separated are treated whole. Tightly husked kernels are treated by steeping in the chemical solution and then decorticating mechanically, the endosperms being sifted off. In some cases, the whole kernels are mechanically treated dry to remove the cotyledons and germs, the separated endosperms and attached husks being treated with the chemical solution. In other cases, a quantity of the cotyledon and germ may be retained, fermented, and used to treat the endosperm; or the latter may be fermented before extraction. This enzyme treatment may be prior to or during the extraction of the mucilage. Or the mucilage itself may he treated with malt extract or other form cf diastase or enzyme, the mass passing from a jelly to a more or less viscous solution, which may be filtered and concentrated by evaporation. Specifications 10,822/05, 569/08, and 19,768/09 are referred to. According to the Provisional Specification 564/12 a suitable concentration of formaldehyde in the abovedescribed process is 0À4 per cent of formalin.
