Inventor: EVANS WILLIAM EDWARD
IPC: B65B27/08
Filed: 1909-09-11
Granted: 1910-12-12
Abstract: 20,850. Evans, W. E. Sept. 11. Delivery apparatus.-The folded products as delivered from a printing-machine are collected into counted batches which are pushed into stacking- receptacles, from which the batches are pushed into bundling-receptacles with the folded edges of adjacent batches alternately arranged so as to produce a uniform parcel. The bundles are automatically tied and delivered from the bundling-receptacles. In the preferred form of apparatus, two sets of folded papers pass from ordinary delivery mechanism, Fig. 1, and are delivered by flyers b over flexible guides c to chains e fitted with spring- controlled stops d, and are retained in a vertical position on the belt e by a rotating fan roller b<1>. One of the stops d is normally retained by a triplever g, but, when a batch of sheets has been delivered to the chain, the lever g is actuated by a lever hand cam j, and the stop d then separates one batch of sheets from the next. From the chains e the batches are delivered to a stacking- device N comprising four compartments with spring stops n<1>, n<2>, n<3> for holding the papers until they are pushed into packing-receptacles m<3> by means of pushers o. The papers are pushed into the compartments N by cam-controlled fingers l<1>, l<2>, l<3> on a reciprocating carrier l. The compartments N are attached to a shaft 3, which is intermittently oscillated through quarters of a revolution, so that the successive batches are fed to the packing-boxes m<3> with the folded edges alternately arranged on different sides. The batches are held in the boxes m<3> by flexible ratchet-shaped stops, and, when a number of batches have been collected in the boxes, they are tied and. knotted by mechanism comprising a needle bar s<14>, which is actuated by levermechanism and a cam on a abaft w<2> controlled by a clutch s<9> operated by lever-mechanism from a cam s<3>. The tied bundles are ejected from the boxes m<3> by opening their backs u<1> and floors u by connecting-rods u<6>, u<7>, levers u<3>, u<2>, and the cam s<3>. The parcel may be wrapped with paper and secured by paste, and the compartments N may be differently arranged and have a continuous instead of intermittent motion, and they may be fitted with adjustable apertures. The belts e may be driven intermittently or continuously, and the compartments N may be arranged to rotate on a vertical axis. The boxes m<3> may rotate or oscillate, and rotary or oscillating compartments may be employed in the stacking-device. The tying and wrapping mechanisms may be omitted, and the clips which transfer the bundles to the stacking- devices may be actuated by gear mounted within or upon the stacking-wheel.

Granted: 1911-12-06
Abstract: 28,418. Zoller, C. Dec. 6. Gyroscopic apparatus.-The balancing-planes of an aerial machine are controlled by a Bohnenberger gyroscope acting through an electric relay mechanism. The ball K of the gyroscope is mounted to rotate on spindles a, b in a vertical ring I, placed longitudinally of the machine and mounted on spindles c in a ring II supported in the fixed casing g on spindles d, c. The spindles c, e of the rings I, II and their bearings m<1>, m<2> form electric switches so that relative movement between the two rings and between the ring II and the casing g, due to transverse and longitudinal tilting of the machine, closes the electric circuits of auxiliary motors for actuating the balancing-places. The switches so control the motors that the steering effect increases in proportion to the displacement of the machine. The switches may be dispensed with and the relay actuated by currents induced by a magnet and coil on the rings I, II and the casing g. The casing may be exhausted of air through a pipe l. The ball K is set in rotation by a pulley r connected to the spindle a by a friction coupling h. Instead of using an auxiliary motor to control the planes, they may be actuated by the main motor shaft.
