Title: Improvements in Attachments for Printing Presses, for Cutting Ribbons and for Automatically Counting the same.
Inventor: BERKEMEYER FERDINAND
Filed: 1898-06-07
Granted: 1898-12-03
Abstract: 12,736. Berkemeyer, F. June 7. Labels.-Relates to attachments for printing-presses for cutting and counting cigar ribbons. Fig. 1 shows a plan of the apparatus. The ribbons Hare drawn up through guides G on the platen E, which impresses them against the print ing - surfaces F on the bed D. The printing-surfaces are inked by rollers C passing over an ink-plate B. The printed ribbons pass through a guide-bar K<1> to a trough-like guide or passage-way in the block Q, which is mounted on a grooved plate or bed L fixed to the table J by clips K. One side of the guidepassage is formed by a fixed bib T, and the other side by an adjustable piece U. A pair of cutting-shears is placed on the inclined end A<1> of the block Q, and the movable pivoted blade is operated by a cord D<1> passing over guide-rollers and attached to the platen E. A ratchet-toothed disc N<1> is moved at each operation by a pawl M<1> on a slide L<1> operated by a cord Q<1> passing over guide-rollers to the platen. On this disc is a pin T', which operates the hammer U' of an alarm bell V<1> to indicate when a certain number of ribbons has been printed and cut. Another pin may be placed on the disc, and the disc may be marked with numbers &c. The ribbons are drawn along by hand, the guide K<1> serving as an end measure, and the cut lengths are placed in guides J<1> removably mounted on the plate L.

Granted: 1899-04-29
Abstract: 14,751. Hofmann, C. July 5. Ball-and-ring mills.-The, preferably oval, balls e, carried round in the ring a by the caps f, links d, and arms c on the shaft b, are moved to and fro radially during the revolution by means of links k which carry rollers i, i<2> in engagement with a cam h. The cam may be fixed, but preferably it receives a slow intermittent motion from the sleeve l, which is secured on the shaft b. The sleeve carries on a flange an epicyclic pinion in gear with a fixed annular wheel n and with a wheel mounted loosely on the sleeve and formed in one with a bevel ring which gears with the wheel r a pinion s in one with the wheel r gears with a wheel t upon which is a single projecting tooth ; the cam has on its lower side a face-wheel in gear with a pinion carried by a disc on the sleeve and adapted to engage with the single tooth on the wheel t. In order to increase the speed of the mill as the grinding proceeds, the shaft y is driven from a countershaft by means of reversed conical rollers and a belt which passes through a fork x<4> mounted upon a square shaft x<6> and provided with a half-nut to engage the rotating screw x<9>. When the fork reaches the end of its travel, the square shaft, by means of a hand-wheel and the rod z, is thrown over, and with it the fork x<4>, the nut, and the tension pulley x<10>, but another fork x<5> is at the same time moved upwards and the parts are returned to the starting position by means of a rack and pinion operated drum upon which is coiled a cord z<3>, passing over a pulley at the opposite end of the mechanism and secured to the belt forks.

Granted: 1899-11-25
Abstract: 26,410. Yates, W. H. and Haigh, J. Dec. 14. Brakes.-Relates to a brake-applying apparatus for preventing a railway train from passing a signal at 'danger.' A sliding block or incline M is mounted on the permanent way, and is connected to the ordinary signal wire and to a counterweight or spring, so that, when the signal is put to 'danger,' the block is moved into position to engage the striking-lever I on the engine. The lever I is mounted on the rocking shaft J, and is connected, through the link H, lever F, link E, and lever D, with a valve C communicating with the vacuum, steam, or other brake pipe A, so that, when the lever I strikes the block M, the valve C is opened and the brakes are applied. The catch P and toothed quadrant Q prevent the return of the parts until they are reset by band. A second striking- lever is mounted on the other end of the shaft J, for use when the engine is run in the reverse direction.

Title: Improvements relating to Roller Bearings.
Inventor: JONES EDWARD
Filed: 1899-05-15
Granted: 1900-05-12
Abstract: 10,184. Jones, E. May 15. Metal pipes and tubes.-Relates to the manufacture of short metal tubes to serve as rollers in bearings for shafts. A blank, which may be of any of the forms shown, is stamped from a strip of mild steel and is then bent round to form a tube. The bending is preferably effected by pressing the blank, point foremost, against a suitablycurved block, which curls or rolls the metal up. After bending, the joints are closed by rolling or swaging, and the tube is finally forced through a die, to smooth the external surface. Tubes made by this method have the longitudinal grain of the metal disposed in the direction of their rotation.

Patent GB-189915568-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and connected with Brake and Propelling Mechanism of Velocipedes.
Inventor: RENOUF PHILIP LOUIS
Filed: 1899-07-29
Granted: 1900-07-21
Abstract: 15,568. Renouf, P. L., and Renouf, J. July 29. Clutches; driving-mechanism; brakes.-Relates mainly to back-pedalling brakes for free-wheel cycles. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, an arm B pivoted on the axle A is connected to the brake rod D, and carries a clutch piece E which engages notches in a flange on the chain-wheel C during back-pedalling. The clutch piece may be in the form of a roller mounted eccentrically, and the rod D may be connected directly thereto. The clutch piece may engage on the inner side of the flange or directly with the teeth of the chainwheel, and the arm B is sometimes extended across the chain-wheel, and carries the clutch piece on the end opposite to the brake rod. In another arrangement, the arm B is L-shaped, and the part carrying the clutch piece is made adjustable, to adapt it to chain-wheels of various sizes. Fig. 7 shows an arm B pivoted on a clip A on the frame, and carrying a pawl E which engages the driving- chain C during back-pedalling, so as to apply the brake through the rod D. Figs. 8 and 9 show a brake flange F, fixed to the hub H by discs F<1>, a brake shoe E, operated by back-pedalling through the rod D, being arranged to act on the drum. In Fig. 10, the chain-wheel G is carried on a sleeve B, which actuates the hub through a free-wheel clutch N. In this case the brake is applied by back-pedalling through face-cams and clutch balls which cause the plate K to move sideways, thus gripping the friction disc I between it and the fixed disc L. In this arrangement, the ball cup D may be made self-adjusting, as in Dunlop's arrangement, described in Specification No. 5519, A.D. 1897. To prevent lateral displacement of the chain-wheel, the usual fixing-cottar is dispensed with. The end of the crank is drawn through the pierced axle end by a nut, and is shaped to engage recesses in the hub of the chain-wheel, which it thus tightens on the axle.

Abstract: 20,521. Ashworth, G., and Taylor, J. Oct. 13. Couplings, non-automatic.-Fig. 3 shows a sectional elevation. The rod a, which is passed through the shank of the hook b and supported in bearings c, carries the link d, and the pinion e adapted to engage a toothed sector on the shaft f, which has handles at its ends. The link d is kept in the vertical position ready for coupling by the spring l and the links m, q, and p. The link d is depressed against the action of the spring l by turning the shaft f until coupling is effected, the parts being uncoupled by turning the shaft in the opposite direction. In a modification, a flat spring rests on the link d, the spring l and its connections being dispensed with.
