Granted: 1911-05-18
Abstract: 27,970. Justice, P. M., [Thomson Press Co., J.]. Dec. 1. Inking-apparatus. - In a platen press, the inking-roller carriage and platen are operated by links and cranks which pass their deadcentres simultaneously. Means are described for actuating the messenger roll and the ductor roll, for untripping the carriage rolls if inadvertently left tripped, and for laterally reciprocating the ink-table. The inking-roller carriage 5 is driven through a link coupled to a lever 63 connected by a link 62 to the return crank 50, the proportions of the parts being such that a very slow movement is given to the carriage in the upper portion of its travel. The messenger roll 55 is pivoted on links 56, and normally pressed against the ductor roll 41 by a weight 59. During the upper portion of the carriage movement, however, the distributing-roller 36 engages it, and lifts it away from the ductor roll, as shown. For cleaning, it may be swung into the position shown by dotted lines 60, and the distributor roll 36 may be removed from the carriage 5 and placed in the forks 61. The ductor roll may be turned by a handle x or by ratchet mechanism worked from the return crank 50 through a rod 46 with adjustable stops. A stop 54 prevents the weighted pawl lever 44, 52 from turning so far as to derange the mechanism. For cleaning, the inking-rolls 33 may be tripped by a lever 37 and bar 38, and a stop 16 is provided to return the lever 37 to its normal position if it is left tripped when the machine is started. The curved ink-distributing table 14 slides laterally on bars 15, and is reciprocated to distribute the ink by gearing 25, 26, 29, 8 and a sliding block 20 on a crank-pin 21.

Title: Supervisory Transmitter for Sprinkler Supervisory Fire Protection Systems.
Inventor: BROUGHAM FREDERICK JOHN
IPC: G08B25/12
Filed: 1910-12-28
Granted: 1911-12-21
Abstract: 30,115. Brougham, F. J., [Dominion Guarantee Co.]. Dec. 28. Fire and like alarm systerns.-In a fire sprinkler system in which the different parts of the system, when they become inoperative and when they are restored to their normal condition, operate to transmit a signal to a central station, the trip-magnet of the supervisory transmitter is energized when its controlling- relay is short-circuited by a contact associated with the protected part of the sprinkler system. The trip-magnets of a number of transmitters are tapped on to a local circuit which can be grounded through any of the trip-magnets by their corresponding relays. In order to prevent interference from the simultaneous operation of two or more transmitters, the first movement of any transmitter grounds the local circuit so as to prevent the excitation of the trip-magnet of any other transmitter. The clock-work of any supervisory transmitter, when run down, closes a contact which sets in operation a separate testing-transmitter. Fig. 1 shows the construction of a supervisory transmitter, the circuit connexions of which are fully described in Specification 30,024/10. The spindle 18 of the clockwork carries a disk 28 with two notches 29 and is geared to a spindle 25 carrying a disk 30 with a single notch 31, this disk being geared to a governing fan 27 on a spindle 26. The armature 41 of the trip-magnet is formed with a catch 40 for the fan 27, and also with projections 43, 44, which engage the notches in the disks 28, 30. The spindle 25 carries two code transmitting-disks 51, which co-operate with spring contacts 62, and the spindle 18 carries three commutator disks 45, 46, 47, Fig. 4, which engage three sets of contacts, such as 58 during the rotation of the spindle 18. A contact 67 is engaged by the spring of the clock-work when this is run down. The operation of the transmitter is as follows :-When the relay 69 is de-energized by the operation of the protected feature of the sprinkler system, the trip-magnet 32 releases the fan 27 and withdraws the projections from the notched disks 28, 30. At the first movement of the spindle 18, one of the commutator disks grounds the local circuit, thereby short-circuiting the magnet 32 and preventing the excitation of the corresponding magnet of any other transmitter. The spindle 18 thus rotates until the second notch 29 engages the projection 43, and in the meantime the spindle 25 rotates twice, sending in its code signal twice to the central station. During this movement the commutator disks change the connexion of the magnet 32 in such a way that it is again energized when its controlling-relay is energized upon the restoration to normal of the protected part of the sprinkler system. The spindle 18 is thus again released and rotates until the first notch 29 engages the projection 43, the spindle 25 meanwhile rotating so as to send in its code signal four times to the central station.
