Title: Improvements in Eyeletting Machines.
Inventor: PUSEY JOSHUA
Filed: 1899-06-13
Granted: 1899-07-22
Abstract: 12,351. Pusey, J. June 13. Eyeleting.-Relates to apparatus for inserting eyelets for holding together papers and for other purposes. The apparatus is shown in Fig. 1 mounted on the jaws 1, 2 of a pair of parallel pliers, but it is applicable to a lever press. When the parts are in the position shown and the handles 3 are pressed together, the eyelet e on the pin 5 acts in conjunction with the recess 6 to punch a hole in the paper P. The holder 4 carrying the pin 5 is then pulled forward, against the action of the spring 11, to bring the eyelet under the projection 7. On again bringing the handles together, the projection 7 turns over the edge of the eyelet, the pin 5 receding into a hole 8 in the jaw. When the pliers are opened, the spring 15 raises the pin 5 and the spring 11 moves the holder 4 back to the normal position.

Title: Multi-color Printing Machines.
Inventor: KOEHLER FRANZ RICHARD EMIL
Filed: 1899-07-29
Granted: 1900-07-28
Abstract: 15,555. Koehler, F. R. E. July 29. Printing in several colours; printing paperhangings.-A rotary machine for printing pictures, posters, wallpapers, and the like, may comprise an impression cylinder b and a series of printing-rollers i, each bearing one or more printing-surfaces corresponding in design to the part or parts to be printed in particular colours. The cylinder band rollers i are mounted in suitable adjustable bearings. Inking-appliances m, of any suitable construction, supply inks of the desired colours to the rollers i. The paper to be printed may be drawn from a roll p, and is gripped between the cylinder b, and the ends of the rollers i, which are arranged close together. In a modified form of machine, the rollers i are employed as inking-rollers for transferring the various parts of the designs to an intermediate cylinder which serves as a printing-roller. For printing successively upon both sides of the paper, two machines may be employed, and should be driven so as to obtain correct register. In some cases, a flat impression table, reciprocating or stationary, may be used instead of an impression cylinder.

Title: A Process of Treatment of Lead Ores for Obtaining Metallic Lead.
Inventor: GERMOT ANTONIN
Filed: 1899-11-18
Granted: 1899-12-30
Abstract: 23,014. Germot, A. May 27, [date applied for under Sec. 103 of Patents &c. Act, A.D. 1883]. Lead; silver.-Relates to the treatment of lead ores to obtain pure lead. Galena is introduced into a crucible fitted with a tube leading to a suitable collecting-chamber. A blast of air is blown through the crucible to reduce the lead sulphide to metallic lead, sulphurous acid being given off. A certain amount of the lead sulphide is distilled over into the collecting-chamber, while silver or other metals in the ore are reduced and are found in the lead in the crucible. The condensed lead sulphide may be treated separately to obtain a pure lead, or may be returned to the crucible for further treatment. The latter operation may be performed by having the crucible fitted with a tube sufficiently long to condense the lead sulphide, which then falls back automatically into the crucible.

Abstract: 1956. White, W. L. Jan. 31. Sifting starch.-Relates to means for sifting and heating the starch employed for the moulds in which confectionery is cast, and for freeing the confectionery from adhering starch. The starch and cast sweets are fed together to a reciprocating sifting-box A, which removes the bulk of the starch. The sweets pass on to a rotary sifter B fitted inside with brushes which assist in removing the starch. Granulated sugar, peas, or other clean hard materials are fed by an elevator P to the screen B, and are mixed with the sweets to facilitate the removal of the starch. The starch passes through the first portion of the screen, which is of fine mesh, and the sugar, peas, &c. pass through the remainder of the screen. The cleaned sweets tail over at the shoot B'. The starch removed by the sifting-box A falls into troughs C fitted with screw conveyers M and provided with a steam or airheated jacket or casing N. The heating-troughs C are connected by passages M' so that the starch circulates through them before being fed once more to the tray-filling machine. The Provisional Specification states that the starch may be heated in a steam-jacketed cylinder provided with stirring or agitating arms &c.

Granted: 1902-08-07
Abstract: 14,669. Newton, H. E., [Hoe, R.]. July 1. Set-off, preventing.-Relates to means for presenting set-off sheets to, and removing them from, the impression cylinder. Fig. 1 is a side view of a press, showing the second impression cylinder x, and parts of the first cylinder x<1> and delivery cylinder P. The set-off sheets are preferably taken from the web A, which is perforated at the required intervals so that the sheets may be torn off. The web is passed between rollers a, a' and down the table B to the cylinder x. The cylinder x, Fig. 5, has the usual grippers C for taking the sheets to be printed, a set of grippers D for taking the set-off sheets, and blanket grippers F. The grippers D hold the set-off sheet for a certain number of impressions, and then release it for delivery, with the sheet last printed, to the grippers p of the cylinder P. On the shaft D<1> alongside each of the grippers D is a lever d having a pin engaging between projecting lugs on the gripper D. The levers d engage sliding pins d<1>, and, when the grippers D are opened, the pins d<1> are projected to lift the edge of the set-off sheet into reach of the delivery grippers p. On the shaft D' is a lever f pressed by a spring rod G to close the grippers, and having a bowl f<1> operated by a cam H. The cam H is mounted to slide on rods h, and is moved into the path of the bowl f<1> at the required intervals by a lever h<11> connected by a rod h<111> to a lever operated by the cam J and spring rod i. On the frame is pivoted a lever K normally engaging above a collar l on the rod h<111>. The lever K is operated to allow the rod h<111> to move up and move the cam H into operative position, by a cam s on a wheel k<111> driven by a pin k<11> on a wheel k<1> driven by a pin k on the end of the cylinder shaft. If each of the wheels k<1>, k<111> has twenty teeth, the cam s will operate the 'lever K once for every 400 revolutions of the cylinder. When a set-off sheet is delivered, the edge of the web A is taken by the grippers D, and a fresh sheet is torn off by them when the web is clamped against the table B by a clamping-bar m. The bar m is carried by arms of a shaft M operated by an arm n' and a rod n<11> connected to a lever operated by a cam O and spring rod R. The rod n<11> has a collar r normally engaged by the lever K, so that the shaft M is not operated, except when the lever K is moved by the cam s. The shaft M has also arms m<1>, which rock the hinged lower part b of the table B to present the end of the web to the grippers D. On the shaft M are fingers n, which bend the edge of the web down to the grippers.
