Title: Improvements in Machines for Making Transparent Envelopes.
Inventor: LOGAN JAMES
Filed: 1908-07-14
Granted: 1909-02-18
Abstract: 14,958. Logan, J. July 14. Feeding envelopes.-Relates to mechanism for making envelopes having an opening in the body of the envelope which is covered by a transparent patch and is in registration with an address upon an enclosure within the envelope. The envelope blanks a, Fig. 6, having an address opening b, are supported on a feed-table e, Fig. 2, beneath the usual gumming-mechanism of an envelope machine. The gumming-dies f descend periodically on the topmost blank and lift it by adhesion until it is separated from the dies by a stripping-plate i. The blank falls on a reciprocating carriage j and is engaged by hooks l, which carry it over a supporting-plate n into the position shown by the blank a' in Fig. 1. It is held in this position by pawls p as the carriage moves back to receive the next blank. With the next movement of the carriage the blank a<1> is pushed forwards by a second pair of hooks q into the position of the blank a<2>, where it rests on a pressing-table r in position to receive a transparent patch. The blank is then moved by a third pair of hooks t into Lhe position of the blank a<3>, and is pushed by a plunger v through an opening on to a folding-bed where it is folded in the usual manner. The patches are supplied from a roll 8 of transparent paper, from which a strip 9 passes between feedrolls 10. The strip then passes through a flat tube 16 and projects through an opening 17 in a plate 18. The edge 19 of the plate 18 forms a shear blade, another blade being formed by a steel strip 20 secured to the presser foot 1. Thus, while the blank rests on the pressing- table r, the presser foot 1 descends, cuts off the paper patch and presses it into contact with the gummed blank. The feed-rolls 10 are rotated intermittently by a ratchet mechanism 12 and feed the required length of paper through the opening 17. Cam plates 22, secured to the underside of the carriage j, cause pins 21 to project above the surface of the table and secure proper registration of the envelope blank and the patch.

Title: Improvements in Rotary Pumps, Blowers, Engines and the like
Inventor: MACHLET FRITZ WILHELM
Filed: 1908-10-12
Granted: 1909-06-03
Abstract: 21,544. Machlet, F. W. Oct. 12. Fixed-abutment type.-Relates to liquid seals or packings for the pistons of rotary pumps, blowers, &c., and is particularly applicable to a rotary aircompressor of the outwardly-sliding-vane type. The double vane 9, 11 slides in slots 7, 8 formed in a drum 3, and is rigidly secured to a shoe 33 which is provided with a slot 15. The latter engages a slide 19 which can rotate on a fixed stud 16. The drum 3 is mounted on a shaft 22, carrying a flywheel 23. The vanes are formed by two plates A, B connected by blocks 39. Liquid under pressure is introduced to the interior of the drum 3 by way of a pipe 35, a hollow extension 36 of the stud 16, and orifices 37. Ports 40, 41 in one of the vane plates conduct the fluid to the interior of the vanes, whence it escapes to the outer edges and seals them. A valve 45, projecting from the head 21 of the drum 3, closes the ports 40,41 alternately to prevent waste of fluid while the extremities of the vanes are passing the delivery and intake ports 43, 44 of the pump, Fig. 6. The fluid also serves to pack the sides of the drum, ducts 58 in the head 21 leading the fluid to a space 24 which communicates with the end 5 of the cylinder and also with the shaft and bearing 59. Any liquid escaping through the bearing is collected in an annular pocket 60 which is connected by a pipe 61 to the low-pressure side of the pump. A separator 51, Fig. 4, may be employed on the delivery side of the pump, to return under pressure the liquid carried over by the vanes, to the interior of the drum by way of the pipe 5. The liquid may be returned through a cooling-coil so that it tends to reduce the temperature of the pump.

Title: Improvements in Electric Relays.
Inventor: CONRAD FRANK
Filed: 1908-11-11
Granted: 1909-03-18
Abstract: 24,192. Conrad F. Nov. 15, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Switches.-In a moving-coil overload time-relay, adjustable both as regards actuating-current and time of overload, the restraining force on the coil is exerted by springs 18, which are adjustably tensioned. The moving coil swings in tapering airgaps a so arranged that the magnetic force causing the movement of the coil may increase substantially as the tension of the restraining-spring increases, so that, when the predetermined actuating-current has been exceeded, the coil moves at a substantially uniform rate to close the local contacts at 25, 26. The actuating-current is regulated by a movement of the arm 22, by means of which the tension of the restraining - spring is adjusted. The time element of the relay is adjusted by a movement of the arm 28, Fig. 3, by means of which the initial position of the moving coil, and thus the time required for the complete movement of the coil, can be adjusted. The relay is designed to act more promptly should the increase in current be accompanied by decreased voltage. The field coil is a voltage one, and under normal conditions of voltage the field core is saturated. But if the voltage should fall, the core is no longer saturated, and with the decrease in the field strength, the eddycurrent-brake effect on the coil frame is greatly reduced and the coil thus moves more promptly. By a suitable change in the connexions, this relay may be used as a reverse-current relay.

The circuit is completed through a lamp 18, conductors 8, rods 10, 10', a conductor 3, a point 1, a metal tube 5, and a conductor 7. The contact between the conductor 3 and the point 1 is maintained by a spiral spring 12. Holes 4 are provided to cool the end of the material 2, and a cork sleeve 14 is attached.

Granted: 1909-09-02
Abstract: 7286. Elliot, C. March 26. Feeding webs. - In a machine for severing stamps, labels, tickets, &c. from a ribbon and for affixing them to letters, pickages, &c., the perforated ribbon 21, Fig. 5, of stamps &c. is fed intermittently between a table 26 and a transparent flattening - cover 27 by means of a milled segmental disk 32 on a handdriven shaft 30. The disk 32 operates through a slot in the cover 27 and co-operates with a spring-pressed milled roller 34 below the ribbon. To compensate for inequalities in the length of the stamps &c. between the perforations, the segment 32 tends to overfeed the ribbon, and spring fingers 42 are provided to engage the successive rows of perforations, such fingers being stretched forward by the excess feed and subsequently retracted, together with the ribbon, by the springs so as to position the leading stamps &c. for severance by a cutter 43. The fingers 42 are carried by a pivoted arm 38, which is raised by a cam 37 on the shaft 30 to disengage the fingers from the perforations prior to the next feed. The drum carrying the ribbon is protected by a locked cover with a transparent panel, and a device is provided for registering the number of stamps &c. used.
