Patent GB-191306030-A (GB)
Title: An Improved Device for Printing Value and Date Impressions on Envelopes and the like.
Inventor: BAUM MAX
Filed: 1913-03-11
Granted: 1913-07-10
Abstract: 6030. Baum, M. March 12, 1912, [Convention date]. Postmarking and franking machines; counting - apparatus; inking - apparatus; stopping- arrangements. - An apparatus for printing postal values &c. on letters &c., of the kind in which the apparatus is automatically locked after a given number of stamps have been printed, is constructed with a spring-controlled locking detent which is released when a spring controlled bell - crank moves so that one end engages a recess in a wheel of a counting-apparatus. The setting of the dating-device of the stamp and the inking of the pads are facilitated, and means are provided for preventing unauthorised use of the machine. As shown, the apparatus comprises a printing-stamp 1 formed of adjustable date-wheels 2, and a postal stamp 4 inked respectively by pads 6, 5 carried on pivoted arms. The stamp is actuated by a plunger 18 which can be depressed by hand in a frame 9 enclosed in an outer casing 39 connected to the frame by locking pins 42 and leaded cords or a suitable lock, which prevents tampering with the frame 9 or parts connected therewith. The letter &c. to be printed is introduced through openings 41, 31 to a compartment 29 by the aid of a slot 38 of fingerwidth in the bottom of the apparatus. Printing is then effected by depressing the rod 18, and before the stamp contacts with the letter, the aperture 31 is closed. by a lid &c. 34 on a lever 33, which is depressed by an inclined cam surface 36<1> integral with the stamp carrier acting on a presser arm 35 on the lever 33. This lid 34 does not uncover the aperture 31 until the rod 18 has returned to such a position as to ensure the actuation of the counting-apparatus 7 when the next stamp is printed. This counting - apparatus is actuated by a spring- pressed pawl 12 on a slide 14 connected to a spring-controlled lever 17, which normally keeps the pawl in raised position. A projection 19 on the rod 18 moves the slide 14 to actuate the counter after the rod 18 has been depressed to such an extent that the pads 5, 6 are moved away from the stamp. It is thus possible by inserting tools through an aperture normally closed by a slide 37 to depress the stamp to such a position that the dating-stamp can be adjusted and ink supplied to the pads by a syringe or other device without actuating the counter 7. When the required number of impressions has been taken, a recess 20 in the counting-wheel of highest value permits the end 22 of a bellcrank lever 22, 23 to rise under the action of a spring 21, and the end 23 of the lever then frees a spring-controlled detent 25, Fig. 5, and permits this to engage an aperture 27 in the rod 18, and thus lock the apparatus.

The front arms normally engage cross-pieces s on spring-pressed bolts r, which carry the knife support p. The guide-table is formed of conducting-material, and when the knife passes through the cloth, it completes a battery circuit through the magnets e. The armatures are attracted and the bolts r released, the knife being drawn out of the fabric by the springs u moving the bolts backwards. The cord i then moves forwards without the slide f.

Abstract: 10,149. Brabant & Vandier, E. & G. May 22,1912, [Convention date]. Void. [Published under Section 91 of the Act.] Mules and twiners.- Means for regulating the rise of the winding- faller during the winding of the few turns of yarn on the bare points of the spindle comprises a ratchet - wheel 3 mounted to rotate freely on a stud 1 attached to the carriage. A weighted bent arm 5 is mounted loosely on the sleeve 4 of the wheel 3 and is connected by an adjustable strap 12 to a sector on the winding- faller shaft 14. A pawl 8 is mounted on the arm 5 and is adapted to engage the teeth of the ratchet-wheel and rotate it as the arm is rotated in a clockwise direction during the rising of the faller until the tail 9 of the pawl contacts with a stud 10 and the pawl is moved out of engagement. An arm 16 turning freely on the sleeve 4 is adjustably secured to the wheel 3 by a bolt 17, and is connected through a spring 21 to a fixed lug on the frame. This spring is extended as the ratchet-wheel is rotated by the pawl 8 and serves to regulate the movement of the weighted arm 5 and to return the ratchet-wheel &c. to their initial positions when released.

Abstract: 13,013. Openshaw, E. N. June 4. [Cognate Application, 18,261/13.] Spray carburettors. - The air-intake to the carburettor of a motor vehicle, boat, or aeroplane is in the form of a funnel and faces in the direction of motion so that the mixture is supplied under pressure, and, by an early opening of the inlet valve, may be used for scavenging. The casing a, Fig. 1, is fitted with the funnel-shaped air-intake c and with a disk throttle-valve l. Fuel is supplied to, the nozzle d by air or exhaust pressure and is controlled by a valve e actuated by a Bowden wire h. This form of carburettor may be used in conjunction with an ordinary float-feed carburettor as shown in Fig. 3. The float-feed carburettor has a throttle m between which and the throttle l of the above-described carburettor the nozzle n is placed. The valve l may therefore control air to the float-feed carburettor, or may control mixture to be added to that of the float-feed carburettor, according to the position of the fuel valve c, Fig. 1, which should be closed at starting. The float-chamber o may be supplied under pressure, and the supply may be automatically cut off when the nozzle d is partly or fully open.

The fasteners A have prongs C which are passed through the body of the envelope and clinched on the inside, and bendable tongues B for passing through a hole in the seal flap. The fasteners are fed prongs uppermost from a hopper a, Fig. 1, by a rotating brush b down a twisted tube e, from which, by means of a revolving arm h, they are transferred, prong downwards and one at a time, past a spring-held pawl g, to a tubular guide i for delivery under a reciprocating plunger j. The guide i is pivoted at q and is laterally adjustable by means of a screw r. The fasteners slide over a bar located beneath a retaining-plate n from the guide i to slidable supporting-plates t, Fig. 5, which are held together by springs u and are opened by arms v on rock-shafts w which are rotated by means of a plunger z acting on spring-controlled twoarmed levers x. The envelope fits on a horn k detachably secured to the framing by a clamping-plate 13 tightened by means of a cam 17 having an operating-handle 18, curved guideplates 4, 6 and a stop 5 being provided for positioning. The corner 8 of a curved plate 7 serves as a side gauge for the envelope, the plate 7 being vertically adjustable on a plate 9, which is horizontally adjustable on the framing. The horn k carries clinching-anvils l and a plate 10 resting on a blade spring 11 and having openings for the anvils. The plate 10 holds the body of the envelope above the anvils until the prongs of the fastener, released from the plates t, are forced through. On the continuation of the descent of the plunger j, the plate 10 is. depressed and the prongs of the fastener are clinched against the anvils.
