Abstract: 19,615. Fanslow, B. O. Sept. 2. Copying documents etc.; printing in imitation of type-written matter; cylinder machines with plane printing-surfaces ; inking- throw-out and like arrangements.-A travelling- cylinder press of the type described in Specification No. 10,417, A.D. 1906, for copying documents, pictorial representations, &c. has an impression cylinder Q mounted in a frame L which is formed preferably in one piece as shown in Fig. 1, but which may be bolted together as shown in Fig. 8. The sides of this frame are bifurcated, and carry rollers P of V or other desired section running in correspondingly-shaped grooves in the underside of the bearer ledges R on the frame A. In some cases extra rollers U, Fig. 8, engage with the upper surfaces of the ledges. In another modification, slides take the place of the rollers P, U. At each end of the cylinder Q are bearer rollers S, which may be in one with the cylinder and rubber-covered as in Fig. 1, or may be separate from the cylinder, and of different size thereto, and toothed to gear with racks on the sides of the bed, as in Fig. 8. In this case, the wheels S are fast on the shaft T turned by the handle U<1>, and the cylinder Q runs freely on bushings on the shaft. The impression pressure is regulated either by screws W pressing on the bearings V of the shaft T, Fig. 1, or by four thumb screws at the corners of the bed-plate carrying the chase or printing- surface, which may consist of type to print in imitation of type-written matter, in the ordinary manner. The ink ribbon g is mounted on rollers Y<3>. One end of each roller turns in a pocket in the frame A, while the other end is held in a spring bearing, so that the roller is readily detachable and turns with sufficient friction. Each roller has a ratchetwheel d which is engaged by one of the pawls f on the carriage L, so that the ribbon is moved alternately in opposite directions at the end of each stroke. By adjusting the stops X, the motion of the carriage L is so controlled that the ribbon g gets double the movement in one direction that it gets in the other. The carriage may be reciprocated by moving the bridgepiece of the carriage L, instead of by a handle U.

Inventor: MICHEL JOSEPH EDOUARD ALEXANDR
IPC: B60T15/12
Filed: 1908-04-06
Granted: 1908-08-20
Abstract: 7616. Michel, J. E. A. April 8, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Brakes.-In a pressure-regulating valve for air brakes, the inlet valve E from the compressed-air reservoir C to the train-pipe B, and the exhaust valve F are secured n a lever G attached by a rod H to a diaphragm I in the side of the casing A. The diaphragm I is controlled by a spring J, which, when compressed by the driver's lever K, opens the valve E to supply compressed air to the trainpipe until the air pressure overcomes the spring J and closes the valve. When the spring is released, the valve F is opened by the air pressure on the diaphragm I to vent the train-pipe. The device may also be used as a distributing-valve, in which case the valve E, Fig. 2, controls the passage from the auxiliary reservoir C to the brake cylinder M, and the valve F controls the atmosphere port D. The rod H is connected to a diaphragm 1<1> open to the train-pipe B, and to a diaphragm I controlled by a spring J, which may be replaced by a diaphragm connected to a reservoir containing fluid under constant pressure. When the train-pipe pressure is reduced, the spring J raises the valve E to connect the auxiliary reservoir to the brake cylinder ; and when the train-pipe pressure is increased, the pressure on the diaphragm I opens the valve F to vent the brake cylinder to atmosphere.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Dobbies of Looms for Weaving
Inventor: OULTON JOSEPH
Filed: 1908-04-15
Granted: 1909-02-25
Abstract: 8333. Oulton, J., and Jowett, A. April 15. Loom dobbies.- In Keighley and other dobbies, bellcrank levers y, carried by the stay n of a vertically-reciprocating framework k, l, n, have hooks 7 on their horizontal arms, and when the framework rises, these hooks are caused by springs 8, connected to a fixed framework d, h, to enter the perforations in an endless pattern paper band ona cylinder s, which is also carried by the reciprocating framework and is provided with circumferential grooves or recesses to receive the hooks 7. The ends 3<X> of the vertical bifurcated parts of the levers y that, are opposite to perforations in the pattern band are thus rocked into position to raise headed vertical pins j against the action of springs or gravity. These pins are mounted in a fixed stay i and actuate the corresponding fingers or fallers of the baulk levers. The levers y opposite to blanks on the endless bands are not rocked by their springs, so that their recesses remain opposite to the corresponding pins j, and these are not raised. The levers y are returned to normal position when the reciprocating framework descends, their hooks being withdrawn from the cylinder s, by the engagement of camsurfaces 5 on the levers with a stay-rod g on the fixed framework. The cylinder s is rotated as it reciprocates by a double pawl, or one of two single pawls 14, engaging pins or pegs 13 or ratchet-teeth on a disk 12 on the cylinder. A circular cam-plate 22, which has a recess 24 and a concentric portion 23 to engage pins 21 on the pawls, is manually turned by means of pins 27 to allow either of the pawls to move into engaging position under spring action, or to put both pawls out of action, so that the cylinder may be turned forwards or backwards, or may remain at rest, as it descends. The plate 22 is held in place by a screw 26 and a spring plate 25, which has three projections. A bowl or runner 17, or a stop, on a spring-actuated lever 18 regulates the movement of the cylinder. The pattern band has two end rows of holes, which engage teeth or pins to on the cylinder, these teeth also engaging grooved pulleys u on spindles t adjustably mounted in slotted bearings q, whereby the pattern band is retained in position. Modifications are described in'which the bifurcations in the levers y are dispensed with, and also in which the levers act directly on the fallers or fingers.
