Title: Improvements in Sheet Feeding Mechanism.
Inventor: FAIRWEATHER HAROLD GEORGE CRUI
IPC: B65H9/06
Filed: 1913-06-16
Granted: 1914-01-15
Abstract: 13,932. Fairweather, H. G. C., [Schmidt, F. L.]. June 16. Sheet-registering devices; sheet separators and carriers.-Sheets are registered, as they are advanced by carrier mechanism, by means of pins which are brought into the path of the sheet and are given a slower movement than the sheets during registration, the pins remaining perpendicular to the plane of sheet advancement during registration. As shown, the sheets are separated from an adjustable shelf 42 fitted with a rubber shoe 46 bv means of a similar shoe 47 on a wheel 43, and are forwarded by means of spring-pressed rolls 48, and belts 22, 23, 24, which pass over pulleys 25, 26 and are fitted with gauges 40 to register the sheets roughly. The shelf 42 and rollers 48 are adjustable laterally. The sheets are registered exactly on the belts by means of pins 19, 20 adjustably connected to shoes 17, 18 splined on shafts 8, 9 carried by spiders 6, 7 on a shaft 5, which is driven by gearing from a pulley 30, which is also geared to the shaft 27 of the pulley 25. The shoes 17 of the shafts 8, 9 may be laterally adjusted simultaneously by means of a sliding disk 45 on the shaft 5. As the spiders 6, 7 rotate, the pins 19, 20 are caused to point normally in a direction perpendicular to the upper plane of the belts 22 owing to the shafts 8, 9 being geared by free gears 11 to a gear 12 free on the shaft 5 and normally held stationary by a sector gear 13. The pins 19, 20 come between the belts 22 in the position shown in Fig. 3, and the pins 19, 20 in this position travel more slowly than the sheet 50 on the belt. The sheet catches up the pins before the shaft 8 reaches the position shown in Fig. 1, and the pins retard the sheet and straighten it on the belt, and also press it down into close contact with the belt. In the position shown in Fig. 1, the pins 19, 20 are travelling at the same speed as the belts, and the sheet is then maintained in correct position relatively to the belts by rolls 56, on gravity-pressed arms 57, and pulleys 60 arranged below the rolls. At this instant, the pins 19, 20 are moved faster than the belts, so as to cause them to be free of the sheets by giving shaft 8 a movement in an anti-clockwise direction by rotating gear-wheel 12 in a similar direction by means of the sector 13 on a shaft 14 controlled by an arm 38 with a roller 37 resting on a rotating cam 36 on shaft 5.
