Abstract: 19,360. Gilbert, W. M., Gilbert, T. M., and Nash, W. C. Sept. 3, A.D. 1901, [date applied for under Patents Act, A.D. 1901]. Paper machines -Relates to guides for regulating the lateral motion of the making - wires or felts of paper machines. The making - wire roll 6 is supported in bearings carried by a sliding frame 4, mounted on the framing 1, and its shaft carries a disccrank 8 having a rod 15 connected to a double pawl 13, which is also connected by a rod 16 to the sliding frame 4, mounted on the framing 1. Arms 12, 12<1> depend from the frame 4, a n d between them is the hub 11<1> of a ratchet-wheel 11, which is capable of traversing a threaded rod 10. The arms of the pawl 13 carry dogs 14, 14<1>, and the pawl is connected by a rod 27 to an arm 26 secured to a rocking-shaft 24 which is supported by arms 21, 22 extending in opposite directions from a fixed bracket 20. An adjustable spring 28 on the rod 24 holds the guide or plate 35, which engages the edge of the making-wire 36, lightly against the said edge. This guide is supported by a holder 33, which oscillates upon a rod 32 carried by an arm 30 adjustably attached to the arm 21. A pin 38 extending from the rod 32, through a slot 37 in the holder 33, limits the oscillation of the holder and keeps it in a nearlyvertical position, and an adjustable spring 39 forces the upper end of the slot into contact with the pin 38. The rod 32 is connected by links 41, 42, 43 to the rod 24. As long as the making- wire is running straight, the dogs 14, 14<1> travel past the ratchet-wheel without engaging with it, but when the wire runs to one side or the other it acts upon the guide 35, which, by means of its connection with the pawl 13, brings the dog 14 or 14<1> into engagement with the teeth of the ratchet-wheel. This wheel rotates upon the screw 10, and traverses the slide 4 supporting the roll 6. Guide-rollers may be used instead of the plate 35.

Abstract: 4580. Bluemel, C. W., and Dietrich, H. A. J. Feb. 26. Coin &c. transferring apparatus.-Ina cash railway, the coin holders 23, Fig. 12, are dropped through a correspondingly - shaped slot 5, Fig. 1, into one of the delivery tubes 1, and an endless band or wire 8, which is provided with beads or projections 7 for engaging in slots on the flanged head 24 of the holders, carries them along to a receptacle at the cash desk. The bill, change, &c. is placed inside, and the holder inserted in a return tube 2 by way of a slot 3. For releasing the holder and allowing it to fall into a receptacle 4 under the counter or otherwise situated at its delivery point, a part 10 of the tube 2 is hinged at 10<a>, and carries a roller 12 engaging with another roller 13 carried on a pivoted arm 13<a>. By means of a lever 15 at the cash desk, and a wire 14, the lever 13<a> is turned on its pivot, and, by frictional engagement, the roller 12 is caused to ride on the roller 13 and open the hinged tubepiece 10. When the holder comes along, it strikes a tripper on the end of the lever 13" just as it falls into the receptacle, and thus closes t h e opening 10, and operates the lever 15 at the cash desk, thus showing whether the part 10 is open or closed. The opening may be opened by having an electromagnet armature on the lever 13<a>, the circuit of which is closed by pressing a button at the cash desk. At the bends of the tubes 1, 2, pulleys 21 are placed so that their peripheries work in a slot in these tubes and so assist in guiding the wire 8 and the holders round. The pulley over which the wire 8 passes at the cash desk has its bearings adjustable by means of a screw and nut, so as to tighten the wire if necessary. The holders may be made in the form of a ball, of such a size that the projections 7 on the wire carry them along the tube, while the tube may be provided with pivoted lids, instead of slots 5, fur inserting the holder. The Provisional Specification states that clockwork or electrical mechanism, or manual power, may be employed for driving the conveyer. The holders also are stated to have projections like the wards of a key, so that they can only drop through corresponding holes in the tube and operate the discharge valve, or else they may be of different sizes, the smallest being discharged through a corresponding opening near the cash desk, and so on, and the largest box and discharge outlet being farthest from the desk.
