Title: Improvements in Sheet-feeding Apparatus.
Inventor: DICK ALBERT BLAKE
IPC: B65H3/06
Filed: 1913-12-30
Granted: 1914-04-30
Abstract: 29,951. Dick, A. B. Dec. 30. Pile tables for sheet feeds; separators; carriers; dropping-rollers and like feeds.-Relates to apparatus in which the pile is lifted intermittently against a rotating feed-roll whereby the top sheet is buckled and fed off between the top of the feed-roll and a roll above, and consists in (1) operating the pile so that its period of contact with the feed-roll can be adjusted according to the quality of the sheets to ensure that only the top one shall be fed, (2) in constructing the pile table in two parts, one only of which is moved, and (3) rendering the pressure of the top roll on the feed-roll adjustable. As applied to a stencil duplicator comprising a stencil drum 3 and impression roll 8, the pile table is constructed with a stationary part 23 and a pivoted part 22 which is rocked by an arm 32 fixed to a shaft 29, controlled by a spring 34 secured to an adjustable arm 35, and by a loosely-mounted bell-crank 28 actuated by an adjustable two-part cam carried by a shaft 11 on which are loosely mounted intermittentlydriven sectors 13 acting in conjunction with a sectional roll 14 to forward a separated sheet to the duplicator. The sectors 13 make one revolution for each revolution of the drum 3, and are driven from the drum drive 5 through a train of gear involving a mutilated wheel 20 engaging a pinion 21 on a sleeve carrying the sectors. The two-part adjustable cam comprises a cam 37, Figs. 3 and 4, fixed to, and a cam 38 loose on, a flanged sleeve 36 fixed to the shaft 11 and carrying fixed gear-wheels 15, 17, the wheel 15 being in the drive to the sectors 13 and the wheel 17 serving to drive the fluted feed-roll 25. The loose cam 38 is adjusted and locked relatively to the fixed cam by a pin 41, which passes through curved slots in the wheels 15, 17 and through a hole in the cam 38, and is adapted to engage any of a series of recesses 42 in the flange 36, the pin being carried by a sleeve bearing 40 for the shaft 11; this bearing is mounted in the side frame 2 and can be drawn back and adjusted relatively to a pointer 44 by means of a knob 43 fixed to the sleeve. A stop 45 is reciprocated vertically by a bell-crank 46 from a cam on the shaft 11 and acts to grip the second sheet as the top sheet is withdrawn by the buckling action of the feed-roll and then to descend with the table during the first portion of its descent, its motion being then arrested to allow a partly buckled second sheet to straighten. The top sheet is buckled by the roll 25 against a bar 48 carried by pivoted arms 49 which are operated to lower the bar on to the pile in its raised position, and when carried above the roll 25, a roll 50, carried by a bellcrank 51, 53 controlled by a spring secured to an adjustable screw 56 and by a cam on the shaft 11, is lowered on to it.

Granted: 1914-12-31
Abstract: 30,027. Gradwell, W. E. Dec. 31. [Cognate Application, 15,423/14.] Stop - motions, warp.- Warp stop-motions comprise one or more bars c, Fig. 1, reciprocated between fixed bars a, b by means of slotted levers h on a shaft e, which is rocked from the tappet shaft by connexions including a rod g<1> connected to a collar g, loose on the shaft e and normally connected to a fixed collar f by a spring-pressed pin i. The ends of the bar c are supported and guided in slots in the supporting- brackets d of the fixed bars, so that the bar c moves in a straight path. When the bar c is stopped by the fall of a detector s, the pin i is protruded to engage a curved surface on a lever l, a cord m raises a lever n into the position shown in dotted lines, and the laysword or a bunter thereon acts on the lever n to operate the stop-lever q. In a modification, the collars f, g, Fig. 3, have inclined ends, and the collar g is moved endways against the action of a spring t, to operate the lever l. In a further moditication, the ends of the bars c are received between ribs on lever arms u, u<1>, Fig. 4, the arm u being driven by an oscillating boss v, Fig. 9, loose on the shaft e and having a recess engaged by a wheel x on a spring- controlled pin y. When warp failure occurs, the pin y is moved to raise a pivoted flap z and thereby operate connexions to stop the loom. In all cases, the detectors are shaped like a hair - pin and are preferably provided with an extension s<1>, which may be slightly bent across the warps to facilitate bandling and to enable a dropped detector to he seen readily.

Title: Gas Turbines.
Inventor: DAVEY HENRY NORMAN
Filed: 1914-01-30
Granted: 1914-11-05
Abstract: 2511. Davey, H. N. Jan. 30. Working-fluid supply; plant.-In mixed-fluid constant-pressure turbines of the kind in which the expansion is sub-atmospheric and the elastic fluid is a mixture of the products of combustion of gas, oil, coal, &c. and steam, the steam is raised and superheated by heat obtained from the water-jacketing of the fluid path, the exhaust from the turbine, the water-jacketing of the furnace, and admixture with the products of combustion, the water or steam, wholly or in part, traversing the sources in the above order. There may be a separate super-atmospheric expansion of the steam on a separate turbine-wheel. Iu one form of turbine, the furnace a, Fig. 1, fitted with burners g, an air passage h, and a damper i, is water-jacketed and is partly lined with fire-brick j pierced by a ring of holes k, through which the steam enters the furnace. Water is admitted to a water-jacket f of the turbine and to the regenerator d through pipes v, w, and the steam passes from the regenerator through a steam-trap p, and from the furnace jacket through a pipe r. The working fluid passes through a nozzle b, which is waterjacketed or lined with refractory material, or both, to a double wheel c of the Curtis type. The gases are removed from a surface condenser e through a pipe n by a rotary pump, which may be of the Rateau or other type and be divided into two parts for balancing. The pump is water - jacketed and is driven directly by a turbine from which, and from a series of other turbines, it exhausts the gases. A gas turbine plant may comprise two such series, each of four turbines, one driving the pump for the series. A high - speed turbine coupled directly to a pump may be arranged to drive a dynamo or alternator through gearing, the pump, turbine, and dynamo or alternator being fixed above the condenser, regenerator, and furnace, which together form a bed-plate for the plant. The waterjacketed furnace may be in the form of a horizontal boiler of the Cornish, Lancashire, Galloway, or other type, the regenerator being of similar construction, and the two being connected to maintain a common water level ; water is fed into the regenerator and steam passes from the furnace jacket into the flue. Any of the above-described turbines may have a separate high-pressure steamwheel e, Fig. 3, through which the steam is expanded to atmospheric pressure before it passes into the furnace a. The wheel c is coupled direct to the gas-turbine shaft, and the coupling may, when desired, be disconnected, and a cock i in a pipe j opened to allow the steam, raised at atmospheric pressure, to pass directly into the furnace. Governing may be effected by controlling the by-passing of steam through the cock i.

IPC: E04H6/22
Filed: 2003-11-06
Abstract: he invention relates to underground mechanical parking stations constructed lengthwise the streets and pavements. They are composed of walls, floors and ceilings all made of reinforced concrete forming channels 1,2,3 used as underground parking spaces for cars and mechanical means. According to all parking processes presented therein, the car is entering from the street level the casing 10 and, passing through the rectangular opening located on the floor of the casing, descents either with thehelp of the lever arms 8 moved by the pistons 15 or the lift into the channel 1. In the first parking process (fig.1, 2), the car is stepping onto the platform 7 and, after being placed onto the trailer 6, is moving onto the rails 5 in order to reach a free, steady parking place, into the channel 1,2; afterwards, with the help of the lever arms 9 or the lift, the car is descending in order to be placed onto the floor of the channel, while the trailer is released. In the second parking process (fig.3), it is employed a uniform trailer-and-platform system perpetually moving onto two series of rails 5 located in different depth into the channel 1(fig.1); with the help of the lever arms (9) or the lift at the ends of the channel 1, the car passes from one level to another. In the third parking process (fig.4), the car is stepping onto the platform 7 and then positioned on the trailer 6 where the lever arms 9, with the assistance of the pistons 15, either carry the car up to the upper level -the platform 7 being secured by the bars 13 (fig. 6)- or they put it down on the platform 7, on the channel's floor 1 (fig.7).
