Abstract: 14,780. Drucquer, J., and Wattleworth, A. W. June 24. Feeding webs. - In typewriters, calculating - machines, calico - printing machines, paper and fabric measuring machines, and the like, the paper &c. passes between contacts arranged in the circuit of a lamp, bell, or semaphore, which is energized when the contacts close and thus indicates the exhaust of the paper. As applied to a typewriter, the contacts consist of a spring-pressed roller and a ring let into the platen and connected to the spindle of the platen. The indicator preferably consists of a plain or coloured incandescent lamp arranged behind the keyboard and provided with a reflector and a lens. The contacts may be arranged to operate electro-magnetic switches for extinguishing the lamp or changing its colour. The contacts may also operate a catch for locking the typewriter. To prevent the contacts from coming together when there is no paper in the machine, the platen may be moved endways or turned up, a spring being provided in the latter case to hold the contact-roller. The contacts are arranged sufficiently far in advance of the paper feed-rolls to permit the completion of a column after the alarm has been given. Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specifications 19,197/93 and 12,757/95,

Title: Improvements in Indicators.
Inventor: MAROUSEK JOESPH FRANK
Filed: 1910-03-01
Granted: 1910-07-14
Abstract: 5126. Marousek, J. F. March 1. Reel and web apparatus.-An indicator comprises a pair of parallel shafts 10, 11, Fig. 3, connected together by a chain and sprocketwheels and bearing loose-riding spools 14 14', and provided with means for connecting one spool to its shaft and loosening the other one according to the direction of rotation of the shafts. Means may be employed for regulating the speed of winding up of the band on the spools to meet the increasing thickness of the winding-on spool during winding. A band 15 is attached to rollers 17<1>, which fit into grooves 17 in the spools. Flanges on the spools may engage a leaf-spring 16 so as to keep the spools constantly at one side of the casing. The spools bear toothed wheels 24, 24<1> which can engage pawls 22, 22<1>, Fig. 8, pivoted on disks 20, 20<1> fixed to the shafts 10, 11. Cams 25, 25<1>, pivoted to the disks 20, 20<1> are controlled by teeth 28 on the casing 4, and bring one or other of the pawls into contact with its toothed wheel according to the direction of rotation of the shafts 10, 11. A pinion 34 on 'the shaft 10 engages a pinion 33 on a shaft 32, bearing fixedly ratchet-wheels 35, 36, and a pair of loosely pivoted, mutually inclined arms 37, 38, controlled by a spring 39, Fig. 9, and bearing pawls 42, 42<1>, which engage the ratchetwheels 35, 36, and are capable of riding idly on projections 45 from the casing. The arms are connected up to lines of cords running through a tram-car or other conveyance, and the direction of travel of the band depends upon which arm 37, 38 is operating the mechanism. The rate of winding is regulated by progressively limiting the extent of rocking of the arms 37, 38 by an intermediately-placed cam disk 49 on a shaft 48, having an attached bevel-wheel 51 and an indicator hand 52, which projects through a dial on the casing. The bevel-wheel 51 is geared up to a worm 54, riding loosely on the shaft 32 and rigidly connected to a plate 57, having a screw, capable of rigidly connecting it to a plate 58, fixed to the shaft 32. Thus, the rotation of the shaft 32 will rotate the worm, and gradually rotate the cam 49, and cause the length of the path of the rocking lever to alter gradually. By disconnecting the plates 57, 58, the worm and the rest of the speed-regulating device can be hand-controlled.

Granted: 1911-06-15
Abstract: 19,828. Broome, F. S. J. Aug. 25. Carding - engines. - Fibres are separated or graded by passing the mixture of fibres through a carding-engine provided with one or more rollers which remove the fibres from the cylinder and discharge them into one or more trunks along which air is drawn and which lead to a settling-chamber. The Figure shows a roller and clearer carding-engine adapted for the purposes of the invention. The fibres may be fed in any suitable manner to the taker-in b, and, after being passed to the cylinder a, are carried past the first worker d and clearer e, and then are acted upon by a roller h which takes off any projecting fibres and discharges them into a trunk j, which leads to one or more settling- chambers in which the fibres are deposited in varying position according to their properties. The roller h works " point to heel " with the cylinder a, and is set with its clothing in close proximity to, but not touching, the clothing of the cylinder. It also works in conjunction with a clearer n, which works " point to point " with the roller, and is set just to engage the clothing of the cylinder and to be in close proximity to that of the roller h. The fibres that are carried past the roller h by the cylinder are operated upon by the remaining workers d and rollers e, and are then acted upon by a roller i, which takes some of them off the cylinder and discharges them into a trunk k. The fibres remaining on the cylinder are doffed in the usual manner and may, if desired, be repassed through the carding - engine. Either of the rollers h, i may be dispensed with, or more than two rollers may be used. The trunks j, k are formed with inspection doors s, t and are formed with their lower edges close to the clothing of the cylinder. The air which is drawn along them is drawn through gaps u, v between the trunk and the casing of the engine. Adjustable plates w, x are used to regulate the size of these gaps. Adjustable plates l, m are provided to aid in the detachment of the fibres from the rollers h, i. The casing p of the carding- engine is formed with partitions 1, 2 to ensure that as far as possible the air drawn along the trunks shall be taken from the room and not from the interior of the caring-engine. Doors y, z are also provided in the casing. The rollers h, i may be applied to carding-engines having fixed or revolving flats. The air drawn along the trunks and through the settling- chambers may be passed through any suitable device to separate the dust &c. from it, before it is returned to the room.

Abstract: 28,479. Gilbert, W. V. Dec. 7. [Cognate Application, 3536/11.] Presses, mechanical.- Relates to lever linkages, applicable to presses &c., comprising a modification or simplification of the compound - lever devices described in Specification 28,948/09, [Class 80(iii), Link-work &c.], and of the kind in which a rigid member, adapted to turn in one plane about a stationary axis supported by a basic member, is connected to a second rigid member, adapted to turn in a second plane at an angle to the first about a second stationary axis supported by the basic member, by means of a rigid interconnecting link, suitably jointed at its opposite ends to these members so that movement of one member in one plane is transferred to the other member in the second plane. The invention comprises an arrangement of such parts in which the member turning in one plane and the interconnecting link, in operation, maintain acute angular relations to one another and to the plane in which the other member turns, the various members or their articulative connexions being, if desired, adjustable. As shown in Fig. 2, the member a<1>, pivoted about an axis c, is connected to a member b, pivoted about an axis b<1>, by a link a, so that operation of the member a<1> in the plane of the paper imparts movement to the member b at right-angles to the plane of the paper, the arrangement shown providing a long - limbed toggle effect. An application of the device to lever presses is shown in Fig. 3, wherein the primary or operating member a' operates, through the link a, the member b, which forms one member of a toggle b, b', the straightening of which depresses the die-block b<5>. The device may be adjustable in various ways-the various members may be telescopic or equivalently adjustable as shown in Figs. 4 and 4<a>, being secured by pins or screws 3 or by lock-nuts clamping split end parts; the pivot supports b' may be adjustable upon the basic member 1. The connecting link or links a may be jointed to the pivoted member a' by means of a transverse end piece a<4>, adjustable in length, or provided with a number of points of attachment a<5>. In the duplex arrangement shown in Fig. 4, the members b may be pivoted co-axially as shown, or upon separate adjustable pivots upon a transverse bar. The various adjustments may be facilitated by calibrations s. Special means, such as screw-threaded rods r, Fig. 6, may be provided for effecting adjustments.

Granted: 1911-09-21
Abstract: 29,371. Kienast, P. Dec. 23, 1909, [Convention date]. Feeding sheets; delivery apparatus.-A machine for assembling together folded sheets comprises means for feeding the sheets singly in their own planes from a series of piles arranged one above another, opening the sheets, and passing a lever successively through the folds so as to tuck the top sheet into the next lower sheet, and so on successively. The piles of folded sheets are supported with their folded edges downwards on tables b, and they are pulled by spring - pressed pushers d towards separating-rollers f driven by gearing h, i, j, k from a hand or power driven shaft m. The sheets separated by the rollers f, which may be adjustable in position, pass through an adjustable guide o, Fig. 3, and are opened by wedges of sheet metal q suspended from the tables b. A sliding gripper s carried by a block w sliding in guides v then seizes one side of each sheet, and draws it forward by the action of a bar x, Fig. 1, engaging one of the blocks w and operated by a pair of slotted levers y, y<1>, which engage pins 1 on the bar, and are reciprocated by cams k, k<1>. The grippers s are opened to grip the sheets by means of fixed projections u which engage bars t connected to one jaw of each gripper. In the final position to which the sheets are carried by the grippers, the sheets are held open by rods 2 attached to the wedges q, and are supported by pivoted arms 15 on plates 13 drawn together by springs 14, which allow the arms to open when a blade 10 moves the opened sheets downwards into the fold of the sheet below. The position of the plates 13 is adjustable for sheets of various sizes. The blade 10 is carried by a block 5 which is reciprocated vertically by a slotted lever 4 actuated by a crank-pin 8. The blade 10 is guided by a continuous slot 9 in a plate 3, and the blade can move horizontally in the block 5 so as to move from the left to the right track before the lever begins to descend. The descent of the blade 10 forces the sheets from the grippers s, and when the required number of sheets are associated together, they are delivered on to a table 17, provided with a front abutment moving in a central slot of the table, by means of a pusher oscillated by a lever 23 actuated by a cam driven by bevel-gearing from the shaft of the cam k<1>. The blade 10 can yield slightly in a vertical direction about a hinge, and the right-hand track 9 is fitted with a spring-controlled arm 22, which prevents the blade from moving in this side of the track during its upward movement.
