Title: Improvements in Type Casting and Composing Machines, and Type Writers.
Inventor: LINK ROLLS PERCIVAL
IPC: B41B7/00
Filed: 1909-03-20
Granted: 1910-06-20
Abstract: 6756. Link, R. P., and Morgan, A. C. March 20. Type-wheel actions.-In typewriters of the kind comprising rotatable and laterally-movable type carriers, the type are distributed on a number of sectors which constitute a magazine and are normally out of, but can be brought into, the plane of the printing-point. In the preferred arrangement, four sectors are used, but any one or two may, in some cases, be omitted. Sectors 1, 2 in one plane above, and similar sectors in another plane below, the printing-point are symmetricallyarranged as shown in Fig. 5, and are attached by necks 30 to sleeves 11, 12, 13, 14, adapted to rotate in and upon central sleeves 19, 20 of a two part cylinder 7, 8. One sector of each pair rotates to the right and the other to the left. Springs 15, 16, secured by pins 17 to each pair of sectors, tend to hold the sectors against stops 18. The sleeves 19, 20 are connected by scarf or like joints with lower sleeves 9, 10 ; and tubular extensions 21, 22, 23, 24 connected by bayonet or like joints 25 with the sleeves 11, 12, 13, 14 are provided with arms 26 carrying rollers 27, which are located in camgrooves 28, 29 in the cylinder 7, 8, arranged as shown in Fig. 3. Bosses on the extensions 21, 22, 23, 24 carry segmental racks 31, 32, 33, 34, gearing with pinions which work through slots 45 in the cylinder and are driven by two shafts, mounted at opposite sides of the cylinder, and by two tubular shafts carried thereon. The shafts may drive the sectors by means of levers or racks and pinions. Each of the four shafts is independently driven through a clutch which can be released by a pawl, whereupon any of the sectors can be rotated under the control of a character-selecting device to bring a type opposite the printing-point. The clutch parts may then be disengaged by the operation of the selecting-device or otherwise. The sectors may be operated directly by selecting-keys or by motive mechanism controlled by such keys. When a sector is rotated, the inclined part 28 of the camgroove immediately brings the sector opposite the printing-point. The sleeves 19, 20 carry flanges 47 which are bolted together and to a part 49 carrying the stops 18. The sectors and the sleeves 19, 20 may be removed together from the cylinder 7, 8 for change of magazine ; grooves in the stops 18 prevent axial displacement of the sectors when they are so removed. Different magazines carry different founts of type or parts of the same fount, and the most used characters are arranged near the forward edges of the sectors.

Title: Improvements in Plate Clamping Mechanism for Printing Presses.
Inventor: LAKE WILLIAM EDWARD
IPC: B41F27/10
Filed: 1910-10-21
Granted: 1911-03-02
Abstract: 24,474. Lake, W. E., [Goss Printing Press Co.]. Oct. 21. Printing-surfaces.-Relates to plate-clamping mechanism for printing-presses of the kind in which the clamps can be separately adjusted for plates of different widths, and simultaneously moved into clamping position by means of a movable member actuated by a tool, and consists in providing a locking-mechanism by which the movable member is automatically locked in the clamping and fully-open positions, and can only be unlocked by the insertion of the actuating- tool, the locking-device also being adapted to permit the insertion or removal of the tool only when the movable member is in either of its locked positions. The invention is described with reference to the apparatus shown in Figs. 11 to 15 of Specification 20,265/08, in which each movable member is actuated by an eccentric pin passing through the member and engaging a block slidable in a recess in the hub of the printing-cylinder, the eccentric pin being rotated by a wrench fitting into a socket in the pin. The locking-device is shown in Figs. 3 and 4. A short round-headed pin 19 is provided in a transverse opening 18 in the eccentric pin 12 near the bottom of the wrench socket 17, and is acted upon by a spring-pressed pin 21. Above the level of the pin 19, the movable member 7 is provided with two depressions 27, 28, and the pin 12 is provided with a second roundheaded pin 29 on the same level as the depressions. The wrench 17<a> is provided on each side with a recess 32 of similar shape to the head of the pin 29, and has its lower end bevelled. The member 7 is shown in clamping position. On removing the tool 17<a>, the pin 29 is pushed into the recess 27, and the head of the pin 19 is projected into the socket 17 by the pin 21, which then engages a notch 31 in the eccentric pin 12. Rotation of the eccentric pin is then prevented, in one direction, by the engagement of the block 15 with one end of the recess 16, and in the other direction, by the engagement of the pin 21 with a shoulder forming one side of the notch 31. On reinserting the tool, the pin 12 can be turned in an anti-clockwise direction to release the clamps, the pin 29 moving out of the recess owing to the shaped sides thereof. When the clamps are fully open, the sliding block reaches the opposite end of tho slot, and in this position, the pin 29 registers with the recess 28 to allow the tool to be removed.

Granted: 1911-04-13
Abstract: 24,689. Rheinische Metallwaaren und Maschinenfabrik. Dec. 11, 1909, [Convention date]. Ordnance breech mechanism. - Relates to mechanism for automatically firing a gun by the further movement of the breech-actuating handle after the breech is closed, and consists in an arrangement in which the breech-actuating lever is in two parts, which are locked together until the breech is closed, whereupon they are automatically unlocked; the further movement of the handle - part then actuates a firing- mechanism of the kind described in Specification 11,266/06. A safety-device prevents the premature operation of the firing - mechanism. Fig. 2 is a plan of a wedge-breech mechanism constructed as set forth above. The handlepart h, i of the breech-actuating lever is pivoted at k to the part g of the lever, which is pivoted at b and operates the breech-mechanism through a crank-pin d working in a groove e in the breech-block f. The two parts g, h are normally connected by a spring bolt m, which is released by a pin and cam-slot device at the instant that the breech is closed. The subsequent movement of the handle i operates the firing-lever t through a connecting-rod r and bell-crank s. A third arm u on the crank s engages with the crank-pin d until the breech is closed, thereby preventing premature discharge. The parts g, h of the hand-lever may be locked together when automatic firing is not desired.
