Abstract: 27,893. Giroud, F. Dec. 4, 1908, [Convention date]. Feeding sheets.-In apparatus for feeding sheets from a pile, the sheets are supported on a table 47, which is slowly raised between vertical guides 48, and the top sheet is fed off by a roller 24 in a pivoted frame 22, a two-edged knife operated as described serving to prevent more than one sheet from being fed at a time. The frame 22 is hinged to a slide 18 reciprocated in guides in the side frames 2 by a crank on the shaft 9. The feed-roller 24 is prevented from rotating during the forward stroke by a pawl. Any surplus sheets adhering to the fed sheet are arrested by a rubber friction surface 46 on a transverse bar 45. The separated sheet passes between rubber-faced feed-rolls 14,15, and down a guide 28 to the wrapping or other mechanism. To hold the remainder of the pile after the removal of the top sheet, a doubte-edged blade 33 is provided. This blade is mounted in bearings 36 and is provided with a square head 39, against which bears a leaf spring 40. As the feedslide 18 reciprocates, the blade is turned, through two right-angles for each complete reciprocation, by arms 43, 44 on the slide, engaging respectively with arms 41, 42 on the blade. The blade is pressed into the pile by a spring as shown. The pile table is raised by a screw 51, which can be rotated by a hand-wheel to adjust the pile, or by ratchet gear 56 during the normal feeding of the sheets. The pawl is carried by an arm 55, provided at its end with a roller 62 adapted to be engaged by the end 63 of the frame 22. As soon as the pile is exhausted, the movement of the table raises the roller 24, thus depressing the end 63 out of engagement with the roll 62 and arresting further upward movement of the table. To reload the table, the pawl is disengaged from the ratchet - wheel, and the table lowered by hand.

Granted: 1911-01-05
Abstract: 6553. Jevons, S., and Green, V. D. March 15. Unitinq by fusion.-In electric uniting, parts only of the surfaces to be united are in contact, the remainder being covered by a flux, such as borax, to prevent oxidation. The flux, on being melted by the passage of the current, becomes a conductor of electricity, and allows the surfaces to be completely united. Brass, iron, or steel articles, particularly wire, are united by this process, the ends of the wire being cut to an inclined, pointed, or other irregular shape. Instead of using an irregular surface, the two parts may be united by one or more interposed solid pieces, or by an interposed sheet of wire gauze or other skeleton metal as described in Specification 24,958/09 with the flux rolled or pressed into the interstices, the surfaces in the latter case not being fluxed. The united surfaces may be vertical, so that, as they are very slowly heated by the low-pressure current, the melted flux runs down the surfaces before they reach the uniting-temperature. A machine such as described in Specification 18,036/09 may perform the uniting operations.
