Patent GB-191028928-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Stenciling Machines.
Inventor: UNDERWOOD JOHN THOMAS
IPC: B41L13/04
Filed: 1910-12-13
Granted: 1911-06-01
Abstract: 28,928. Underwood, J. T. Dec. 13. Stencilling-apparatus; stopping, starting &c.- Machines of the Underwood revolving duplicator type, in which the sheets are run between an impression roll and a cylinder carrying a stencil, and in which it is customary to provide a stop to which the stencil cylinder is set so that the leading edge of the sheet may be inserted into the bight of the cylinders in the correct position, are provided with an additional stop, together with means for moving the same into and out of effective position, in order to prevent excessive overthrow of the cylinder past the sheet-feeding position. In the form shown, the register dog 11 and stop dog 12 are pivoted on the framing of the machine and have pendent arms 15, 16 connected by a link 14, so that a spring 17 connected to the dog 11 normally holds it elevated and the dog 12 depressed. At the completion of each stencilling operation, the stop 8 provided on the adjustable handle 5 of the stencil cylinder strikes the back of the dog 11, thereby raising the stop dog 12 into effective position to stop the cylinder, as shown in Fig. 4. Then the cylinder is recoiled until the stop 8 meets the register dog 11, which has been raised into effective position by the spring 17 during the recoil, as shown in Fig. 5. In this position, another sheet is fed to the machine, and the cylinder is free for the next stencilling operation. The cylinder stop 8 may have a button 18 for withdrawing it from use, in which position it is retained by a pin 19, as shown in Fig. 7. The dogs may be suitably arranged otherwise than by pivoting and connecting them by a link, and some of the parts of the device may be used without others. The stop dog 12 may be employed together with means for moving it automatically into and out of effective position, with or without the register dog, since the latter may be used merely as a lever for controlling its position. Specifications 17,857/06 and 9309/07 are referred to.

Abstract: 14,929. Maerklin & Co., Geb., and ChonÚ, F. June 26. Fountains.-In a fountain, a jet of water is discharged alternately from one of two nozzles as a piston driven by mangle-wheel gear rises and falls in a cylinder. A basin a carries two tubes g, h, one of which h communicates with a cylinder b on one side of the piston e, and the other g by means of a flexible tube f and ports e<2> in the piston-rod e with the lower end of the cylinder. As the piston falls, liquid passes through the ports e<2> and up the tubes f, g. At the top of the tube g is a small tube g<1> which is forced up by the flow of water until its end is above the level of water in the basin. and a jet issues therefrom. At the same time, the small tube in the tube h is below the surface and water flows from the basin into the top of the cylinder. In a modification, a chamber having a single nozzle and valves leading to the two sides of the piston is employed. The driving - gear comprises a toothed wheel z, Fig. 6, around which passes a rod x pivoted to the piston-rod e<5> and carrying pins which gear with the teeth on the wheel z. In modifications, a partly-toothed wheel meshes alternately with racks on opposite sides of a frame to produce the reciprocating motion.

Granted: 1914-05-21
Abstract: 22,057. Staude, E. G. Sept. 30. [Addition to 28,498/12.] Envelopes, making.-Relates to a machine for drying envelopes after manufacture, the mechanism described being a modification of the continuously-moving dryer described in the parent Specification. The envelopes are fed into the dryer from the gumming or like device by conveyer bands 11, 12, Figs. 4 and 5, the supports of which are mounted on screws 3, 4, so that the bands may be adjusted to feed envelopes of different sizes. The envelope is fed between rollers 23, 24, the upper one of which is mounted on a stud so that the flap of the envelope can pass without being folded down. Feed-belts 43 next receive the envelope and feed it into a pocket of the continuously-moving dryer chain. A roller 50, carried by an arm 49 which is pivoted to a reciprocating cross-head 45, holds the envelope against the belts 43 and ensures that it travels fully into the dryer, at the same time permitting its forward end to move with the pocket into which it is being fed. A bar 57 holds down the flap of the envelope and a curved plate 56 attached to one end of a lever 52 prevents the flap from rising as the envelopes enter the pockets. The drier consists of a number of pockets attached to the links of a continuously-moving chain 74. Each pocket consists of an open-sided box 76<1>, Fig. 7, which is attached at one end to a bar 75, which is connected at its ends to a link 76 of each chain. One of the sides 78 of the box has a downwardlybent perforated portion 79, which is continued to form a shelf 81. This shelf holds the body of the envelope and prevents it from making contact with glue on the flap. Air from a perforated pipe 84, Figs. 4 and 5, passes through the perforated part 79 into the pockets, in order to assist in drying the gum. The chains 74 pass around four shafts which are mounted in a frame carried by screws 59, 60, which enable the position of the drier to be adjusted. After the envelope is dried, it is ejected from the pocket by a reciprocating ejector 51', which forces it between a feed-belt 112 and rollers 100, 115. These convey it to the belt,' which delivers each envelope underneath the preceding one so that the dried envelopes are stacked in a pile between vertical guide-rods.
