Patent GB-190721653-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Steam Engine and like Indicators.
Inventor: BERNATI GASPARE
Filed: 1907-09-30
Granted: 1908-09-30
Abstract: 21,653. Bernati, G., and Cecchi, L. Sept. 30. Driving-mechanism for record strips; speed indicators ; steam-engine indicators. - Apparatus in which the paper is fed continuously in one direction records pressure diagrams for one or more cylinders when required ; at other times the speed of the paper is reduced, and a record is made for one cylinder only, the object being to obtain, by means of additional time markings, a record of the engine speed at all times. Records are made by pointers actuated by the pistons of cylinders 8, 9, which may be connected to the high and low pressure cylinders of a compound engine. Other pointers automatically mark intervals of time and the atmospheric line. The paper from the feedroll 2 passes around drums 5, 4 to the take-up drum 6, and to regulate the speed of the paper the drum 4 is expansible so that its circumference may be varied, being in the form of a roll 15 divided into four parts which are held together by a rubber ring 16 or the like. The parts are disposed round a cone by means of which a set-screw 14 on the central spindle 18 forces the parts outwards to increase the circumference of the drnm. The drum, which is loose on its shaft, is mounted on a sleeve which transmits its movement through a belt to the shaft upon which is mounted the drum 6, rotated only by the friction between it and the pulley upon its shaft, which may be adjusted by a spring and screw 7. The drum 5 is rotated by frictional contact with the drum 4. Upon the lower cylindrical portion of the shaft 18 a coupling 21 is mounted, and may engage a clutch 22 sliding in a square sectioned part of the shaft 18. Upon the coupling 21 are mounted two disks 23, 24, which engage the coupling when they rotate in one direction. The disks are alternately rotated in one direction by means of cords attached to moving parts of the engine, and are returned to the initial positions by adjustable springs 27. To reduce the speed of the paper when the apparatus is not pro ducing large pressure diagrams, a cam 35 is secured to a socket 34, as shown in Fig. 5, and on the upper part of the shaft 18 is a ratchet-wheel 36, deriving motion from the cam through pawl mechanism except when the engagement of the clutch 22 causes the pawl to be overrun. The clutch is controlled by a lever 31 operated by an electro-magnet 30 energized at fixed intervals by a clock, or at will. The lever 31 at the same time, through the bell-crank 32, moves one recording-point away from the drum.

Title: Improvements relating to Wire Sewing or Stapling Machines.
Inventor: MACKAY CHARLES DUNCAN
Filed: 1908-07-20
Granted: 1908-11-26
Abstract: 15,321. Mackay, C. D. July 20. Stapling.-In a stapling or wire-sewing machine of the kind having a vertically-reciprocating head which carries the working parts and is actuated by a pedal and raised by a spring, the head and the reciprocating spindle are capable of rotary adjustment and of being removed laterally without dismounting any of the working parts ; a positive feed of the wire is derived from the stroke of the spindle, and is so arranged as to feed a uniform length of wire at each stroke of the pedal, whether or not a partial feed has previously been effected by an incomplete stroke. A head A, secured to a spindle C, is mounted in a bearing b on an arm B, and is actuated by a lever D operated by a pedal and spring. The head A contains mechanism for cutting, bending, and driving staples, and clinching them against an anvil E. The upper portion of the head A is cylindrical and slides in a flanged sleeve A<1>, which has a rotary adjustment in the bearing b and is clamped by a movable cap b<1> and screws b<2>, independent rotary movement of the sleeve and head being prevented by a tongue a<1> on the sleeve engaging a slot in a flange a<2> on the head. The lever D engages the spindle C by means of a collar d, Fig. 5, open at one side, so that by removing the cap b<1> the head A and spindle C may be removed laterally. The mechanism which draws wire F from a reel mounted on an arm f is carried by a bracket G bolted to the lower portion of the head A, and comprises two feed-rollers g<1> geared together by toothed wheels g<3>, g<4>. The roller g<1>, which is visible in Fig. 3, is mounted in a fork of a lever g<5> pivoted at g<6>, and is held in operative position by a spring g<7> engaging an adjusting-screw g<8>. The lever g<5> may be moved out of the operative positive by a cam lever g<9> bearing against the bracket G. The rollers g' are actuated by a ratchet-wheel g<10> on the spindle g<2>, engaged by a spring pawl g<12>, which is carried by a toothed sector g<11> operated by a toothed wheel g<13> and a rack c<1> bolted to the spindle C. To stop the feed when the required length of wire has been delivered, a fixed cam g<15> is so placed as to lift the pawl g<12> out of engagement with the ratchet-wheel g<10>. In the event of an incomplete depression of the pedal the ratchetwheel effects a partial feed, and on the release of the pawl returns to its normal position. At the next complete depression of the pedal the remaining portion of the movement is imparted to the ratchet-wheel.
