Title: Improvements in or relating to Sheet Feeding Mechanism for Printing and Analogous Machines
Inventor: JOHNSON JOHN FREDERICK
Filed: 1905-04-04
Granted: 1906-01-11
Abstract: 7087. Johnson, J. F. April 4. Feeding sheets.-Apparatus for feeding sheets to printing &c. machines from a pile placed on a concave and automatically-raised feed-table comprises firstly two friction fingers which are moved over the top sheet from the centre towards the edges, thereby straightening it out so that a pusher can be passed between it and the remaining sheets, to push it into the machine. The pile of sheets 2, Figs. 1 and 4, is placed on the table 1, the concave surface of which may also have cam-like projections 18. Just behind the pile is a bar 11, sliding in a fixed guide 12 and reciprocated by a crank 14 and link 16. The bar 11 carries a cross-bar 6, to the ends of which are pivoted levers 5 having at their other ends rollers 4, which are controlled by a pawl and ratchet-wheel so that, on the downward motion of the bar 11, as the wheels 4 move towards the centre they rotate, but on their outward motion they are prevented from rotating, and by their rubber or other frictional circumferences they stretch the topmost sheet between them so that the point 25 of a pusher 26 on a slide 23 can pass between the top sheet and the rest of the pile. The sheet is then pushed over the incline 35 to the Machine. Weighted bars 22 loosely attached to the bar 6 help to keep the pile 2 in position. The slide 23 is actuated by a cord 27 attached to the rod 11, and by a cord 30 having counterweight 29. To raise the table 1, a shaft 37 is given a slow rotary motion by suitable mechanism, and may have two cords 38, attached to the framework. 3 at 39, gradually wound upon it. To lower the table 1, the shaft 37 and pulley 46 are disconnected by slackening the thumb-screw 47. According to the Provisional Specification, the table may also be raised and lowered by making it-rest on two reels of tape &c. wound on or off the shaft 37, so as to vary their diameters.

Title: Improvements in Double Lift Open Shed Jacquard Machines.
Inventor: WEBER-HONEGGER WERNER
Filed: 1905-06-01
Granted: 1905-09-07
Abstract: 11,530. Honegger, W. Weber-. June 1. Jacquards.-In a double-lift open-shed jacquard having deviating-bars for preventing the engagement of the descending hooks with the ascending blades, the deviating-bars g<1>, g<2>, i<1>, i<2> do not accompany the griffe-blades f<1>, f<2>, h', h<2> down to the lowest position, and at the moment that they push aside the hooks make no side movement ; the side movements take place after the deviation of the hooks, and when the rising griffe-blades are approaching their highest position, in order to allow space to the hooks in the raised position for suspension on the rising griffeblades. The deviation of the bars may be effected in the usual manner, for example, by means of suitably-formed slots. When a hook a is in its lowest position, the low hook proper a<3> engages a rod c<1> of the bottom grate, and when a hook b is in its highest position one of its hooks b<3> engages a griffe-blade h<2>, the low hook b<3> being above, but clear of, the stationary open-shed blade d<2>. When the needles e', e<2> are pressed, the hooks are not subjected to any "springing," but turn upon the rods c<1> and the griffe-blades according as they are lowered and raised respectively. To allow a raised hook to turn, it is bent at b<4>, b<5>, and moves in a slot in the bottom grate.

Title: Improvements in Co-acting Apparatus for Railway Signalling.
Inventor: O'DONNELL JOHN PATRICK
Filed: 1905-10-06
Granted: 1906-01-25
Abstract: 20,241. O'Donnell, J. P. Oct. 6. Controlling and locking signals.-A mechanical " slot " or coacting mechanism for controlling the actuation of semaphore signals is shown in elevation in Fig. 1 and in plan in Fig. 3. Outside balance levers 3, 4 are connected by shackles 6, 7 to the operating-wires from the signal cabins, and the operating balance lever 5 is connected by a rod 8 to the semaphore arm. A cylindrical boss 9 is bolted by an attached piece 10 to the operating- lever 5, and carries a stirrup-shaped piece 12 with two curved arms straddling the lever 5, and pivoted to swing freely on an horizontal lever 11 on the boss 9. A friction roller 15 on the arm 4 engages with a notch 13 on the inside of one arm of the stirrup 12, and another roller 17 on the arm 3 engages with a notch 14 on the outside of the other arm of the stirrup 12. If either arm 3, 4, say the arm 3, is lowered, the roller 17 descends, and coming into contact with the unnotched portion of the stirrup 12 moves the stirrup to the right, so that the notch 13 and roller 15 on the arm 4 closely engage. The subsequent lowering of the arm 4 then lowers the operating-lever 5 because of the engagement of the notch 13 and the roller 15, the lower part of the stirrup 12 being simultaneously pressed against the roller 17. The raising of either lever 3, 4 allows the stirrup 12 and the arm 5 to rise to replace the signal at ' danger,' the movement being positively ensured by engagement of the rising friction roller with its notch. With 'time' and distant' signals on the same post, the home' semaphore being the upper one, the operating-lever 5 is connected to the distant' semaphore, and an operating-rod for the 'home' semaphore is connected say to the lever 3.

Abstract: 20,767. Schmid, W., and Baessgen, P. Oct. 13. Screw propellers.-The blades are feathered by fluid pressure. The propeller shaft 1 is hollow, and within it is mounted a tube 2, the couplings of which are provided with longitudinal grooves where they meet the inside of the shaft. The propeller blades 5 are kept in place by nuts 7. A stationary plate 8 is fitted in the underside of the blade boss, and the boss is cut away so that it may turn slightly on the circular part of the plate 8. Pressure is admitted on one side or the other by means of the cocks 17, 18,. which may be placed in communication with the tube or the annular space 28. When in the position shown, a pump 15 supplies fluid under pressure through the cock 18 to the annular space 28 and through the tube 11 to the recess on one side of the plate 8. Exhaust takes place through the tube 2 and cock 17 to the annular space 21. In a modified method of securing the blade to the boss, the blade is formed with a flange covering the nut, which is in two parts and screwed in place by securing the Made and nut together by a screw and slightly turning them together, then turning the blade back and re-securing them, and repeating the operation. A recess between the nut and the root of the propeller constitutes an annular chamber, which serves to relieve the pressure. Reversal of the blades may be made either on reducing the number of revolutions or relieving the pressure by the annular chamber.
