Title: Improvements in Sheet Printing Presses and Mechanism for Feeding Sheets thereto.
Inventor: HADDAN HERBERT JOHN
IPC: B65H5/26
Filed: 1911-02-02
Granted: 1912-02-01
Abstract: 2724. Haddan, H. J., [Droitcour, M. A.]. Feb. 2. Feeding sheets. - Relates to mechanism for feeding sheets to high-speed presses of the kind wherein the sheets are fed alternately from two feed-devices, and comprises an arrangement in which two feed-tables are arranged to swing and alternately to take sheets from a single pile, to register them, and finally to feed them with correct velocity to the grippers of the impression cylinder. The sheets fed over the two tables are delivered in separate piles. The sheets are fed from the pile by any suitable separator, and are deposited on to one of two feed-tables 11, 12, the rear portions of which are pivoted respectively on shafts 15, 16 and rocked by a cam-operated bell-crank, so that, when one is out of operation, the other is in position to receive a sheet. The sheets are advanced on to the tables 11, 12 by a pair of feed-rollers. The sheets are conveyed on over the tables 11, 12 by rollers 38, 39, 40, the lowest one of which is fixed while the other two are raised and lowered by cams. The middle roller 39, which co-operates alternately with rollers 38, 40, is driven by gearing 56, 57 and a chain 54, which receives its motion from' a shaft oscillated by a reciprocating rack, so that the roller 39 is reversed as it moves from one roller to the other. As the sheets approach the front gauges 62, 63, the rollers 38, 39, 40 are separated. To ensure the engagement of the front edges of the sheets with the stops 62, 63, the rear edges are engaged by pushers on bars which have a rising and falling movement with the tables 11, 12, and which are reciprocated to adjust the sheet by means of a rocking link which moves the bars in opposite directions. Simultaneously, the sheets are registered sideways by side gauges 87, 88 on longitudinallymoving bars 91, 92. After the sheet has been registered, it is conveyed forward with an increasing speed which finally attains to that of the cylinder grippers, by side-grippers 93 which are clamped on bars 104 secured to racks 95 reciprocated by pinions 96 on shafts 98. The shafts 98 are driven by rack and pinion from a cam on the cylinder shaft. These grippers comprise a bracket 106 clamped to the bar 104 and having thereon a rigid jaw 107. Pivoted to the bracket 106 is a movable jaw 108 depressed by a spring 109, and having a tail 113 in engagement with a cam-operated actuating- lever 110. The roller 118 on the actuating- lever engages between the faces 119, 120 of a cam-lever 121, rocked by a cam 117 on the cylinder shaft, finally to close the grippers on the sheet. The stops then rise, and the grippers move forward and deliver the sheet to the cylinder grippers. Feelers 190 are employed to stop the press should a sheet fail to reach the stops. The sheets fed from the two tables are taken off by separate delivery tapes and delivered in different piles.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Totalising and Indicating the Number of Tickets or the like Delivered by Separate Ticket Boxes or the like.
Inventor: KIPARSKI ALEXANDER
Filed: 1911-08-22
Granted: 1912-10-22
Abstract: 18,862. Kiparski, A. Aug. 22. Tickets, issuing and registering number and value of.-In the type of apparatus described in Specification 25,675/10, the downward movement of the ticket forces over the bell-crank lever 8, Fig. 1, to bring the armature 17 into contact with the core 15 of the magnet 12 as shown in dotted lines. The finger L, which is connected to the lever 8 by a slotted link Z and a spring 9<a>, is prevented from moving forwards until, on the continued movement of the ticket, a notch therein comes in front of the finger L. The spring 9<a> then moves the finger L into the position shown in dotted lines, and causes the plate C to close the contacts 13, 14, thereby energizing the magnet 12 to retain the armature 17 and the finger L in position to prevent the further issue of tickets. The revolving- cylinder described in the above-mentioned Specification is replaced by a commutator comprising a revolving brush 29, Fig. 7, and a series of circularly-arranged contacts 28<1>, each of which corresponds to a ticket compartment. The closing of the contacts 13, 14 also energizes a magnet 34 and closes contacts 39, 40 which are normally open, so that, when the brush 29 passes over the corresponding contact 28<1>, the individual ticket counter A and the totalizer 41 are actuated. The completion of this circuit also energizes a magnet 33, which, through its armature 35, breaks the circuit at the points 37, which contacts are normally closed, thus allowing all parts to return to their original positions and permitting a subsequent issue of a ticket.

Granted: 1913-07-10
Abstract: 16,145. Shaw, H. S. Hele-, Martineau, F. L., and Rickwood, H. J. July 10. Stroke, varying. - Variable-stroke pumps of the type described in Specifications 12,574/09 and 9402/10 are provided with mechanism by which they may be controlled from a distance. The pump 1, Fig. 1, driven by an electric motor 2. is controlled by a rod 3 which actuates the eccentric element of the pump. The rod 3 is operated by an electric motor 5 through worm gearing 6, 7, and a nut 4. A screw 10, also driven by the motor 5, carries a nut 12, which, when the rod 3 has been moved to either extreme, strikes stops 14, thus moving a projection 16, and breaking the electric circuit Fig. 3 shows the electric connexions. The main motor 20, 21 is controlled by a switch 22, the field of the small motor 5 being shown at 23. The polarity of the small armature 24 is reversed by a switch 25, the switches 18 being normally closed. These switches 18 are opened by the nut 12, if it strikes the projections 14, that is, when the pump 1 is at full eccentricity. The reversing-motor 5 cannot again be started except in the reverse direction by reversing the switch 25. In order to obviate the lapse of time that would occur between the reversal of the motor 5 and the bringing back to its zero position of the spindle 3, the apparatus shown in Fig. 4 is used. The controlling-rod 40 of the pump is attached to a split nut 29, moved by the rotation of a screw 30. This nut is kept closed by the attraction of a solenoid 39 on a coned sleeve 43, acting against a spring 42. The controlling-rod 40 is in its neutral position when the springs 50 are unstrained. The solenoid is controlled by the same switch 25 that controls the motor 5, so that when the motor stops, the solenoid is de-energized, and the nut 29 is opened, thus allowing the controlling- rod 40 to spring back to its neutral position. As an alternative to the split nut, a supplementary hydraulic system is described, in which a pump of the same type as above-mentioned supplies pressure water to either side of a piston carried by the controlling-rod of the main pump, while the said rod takes up its neutral position under the action of a spring, upon the opening of a by-pass valve.
