Title: Improvements in and relating to Adding and like Calculating Machines.
Filed: 1912-08-22
Granted: 1913-02-20
Abstract: 19,275. Wanderer-Werke vorm. Winklhofer & Jaenicke Akt.-Ges., and Greve, J. E. W. Aug. 22. Adding - apparatus. - In key-set independently-operated adding and like machines wherein type-carriers are differentially adjusted to bring a selected type to the printing-point, the movement of any carrier trips the hammerlatch of the same denomination and each latch automatically trips the latch of next lower denomination. The automatic tripping-means between the denominations may be disabled by sliding an adjustable comb-plate. Upon the operation of the main shaft 1, a segment 125 for each denomination raises the type-carrier 126, and if this movement is greater than that necessary to bring the zero type to the printing- point, a cam 131 upon the carrier rocks an arm 132 depending from one end of a hammertripping lever 129, so that a projection 132<a> passes beneath a cross-bar 134<a>, whereby upon the subsequent depression by the main operating-mechanism of the cross-bar, the depending arm and tripping-lever may be operated. Spring-controlled levers 135<a> pivoted to the tripping-arm are provided with cross-pieces 132b for communicating the rearward rocking of the arm to that of the next lower denomination, unless the lever is displaced and disabled by contact of its rear arm 135<a> with a solid portion of a slotted bar 137, manually adjustable by the wheel 140 or replaceable by differently slotted bars to split the machine at different points.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Duplicating Machines.
Inventor: HARRISON NATHANIEL WALDO
IPC: B41L9/04
Filed: 1912-07-15
Granted: 1913-07-10
Abstract: 3916. Harrison, N. W. July 15, 1912. Cylinder machines; tripping-arrangements.- In order to obtain uniform prints from lines of type of varying lengths in a duplicating-machine of the kind in which an impression roller is mounted in a carriage which is reciprocated over a fixed type bed, the impression roller 7 is mounted so that it can rotate on a fixed shaft 46, which is mounted in a carriage 4 and supported at its ends between a resilient spring 49 and a rubber or other pad or cushion 50 secured between washers 48. The pressure of the roller 7 on the type is controlled by a screw 40 with a slotted head 41 and a reduced part 43 which screws into the carriage 4 and passes through the pad 50 the spring 49, an aperture 47 in shaft 46, and the bottom 45 of a chamfered portion 39 integral with the carriage 4. With this construction, when the resistance to the roller 7 is reduced owing to the presence of a short line, the pad 50 tends to expand and depress the roll, but this tendency is slight and is resisted by the spring 49 so that the intensity of impression is not perceptibly increased.

Granted: 1913-07-24
Abstract: 7938. Schuster, N. April 4. Coke ovens.-A vertical coke oven is heated by superposed pairs of horizontal flues so connected to the gas and air supplies that the current through each pair of flues can he reversed. The flues L, M are formed in the walls between the ovens and are connected in pairs by damper-controlled openings at the end remote from the vertical gas-supply flues J, K and the regenerator N. Each flue L is connected with a gas-supply flue K and a regenerative chamber N<2>, while each flue M is similarly connected to a gas flue J and a chamber N<1>. By suitably operating the .gas supply and the regenerator reversing valves, the currents of heating gas can be directed through the pairs of flues in either direction. The regenerator comprises a tunnel N divided by transverse walls into chambers connected alternately to one or other of two flues P, P', which, by dampers P<3>, P<4>, P<5>, P<6>, can be put into communication either with the atmosphere or the chimney. Dampers are provided to control the chimney draught and the communication between the regenerative chambers and the flues P, P<1>.

Abstract: 10,829. Robson, E. May 8. Potato planters.-In a potato planter of the endless-chain type, inclined trays i<1>, i<2> in a hopper having inclined walls direct the potatoes to an opening f in its bottom. This opening is normally closed by a spring-controlled slide g, Fig. 3, moving in grooves in the hopper wall a' and provided with a vertical extension g<1> adapted to be engaged by a cup p<1> on the endless chain m and moved to allow the cup p<1> to pass into the hopper. As the cup p<1> continues in its path, it engages a spring- controlled pin r and moves it in a vertical slot v; a rod s, Fig. 7, secured thereto engages a rod secured to a sliding pin t passing through the hopper wall c', the pin t being moved vertically to lift up a potato so that it will be more easily taken up by the cup p<1>, being assisted by the vertical portion of the wall c. At the same time, a pivoted flap n<1> on the wall a<1> is operated to move potatoes towards the aperture f by a pin n mounted on the slide g. To prevent the cup p<1> from taking more than one potato, a triangular projection q, Fig. 4, is mounted on the chain l just above the cup. In a modification, Fig. 8, the hopper wall b is provided with a receding portion b<2> which causes the surplus potatoes P<4> to fall down, the cup being stayed in the proper position by a rod p<4> provided with a plate p<6> pressing on the chain m. The potatoes pass through an opening in the wall over a flat or curved platform b<4> into the delivery spout o, Fig. 1. The appliance is mounted on a single wheel d and shafts e like a wheelbarrow. Or it may be mounted to be propelled by horses, or may be self-propelling; it may be provided with shares for forming or covering furrows. According to the Provisional Specification, the trays i<1>, i<2> may be agitated.

Abstract: 5293. Reilly, A. H., and New Hudson Cycle Co. March 2. Variable-speed toothed gearing, suitable for motor - vehicles, comprises a gear m connected to a gear e so as to be able to turn but not to move axially relatively thereto. The gear m is supported on a clutch member h, which slides on feathers on a driving-shaft b. In the form shown, the gear e and sleeve d to be driven are driven directly at high speed through clutch teeth k on the member h engaging teeth j on the gear e. A middle speed results when the member h is slid to the right until the teeth h engage teeth o on the gear m.. The drive passes from the member h and gear m through gears t, s on a countershaft c to the gear e. When the member h is slid farther to the right, clutch teeth r upon it engage teeth q on a loose gear p. A low-speed drive is then effected through the gear p, a gear u, and the shaft c. In this arrangement, the gear m rides upon and is supported by the clutch teeth k. The gear m may be held in place by a screwed ring l and split ring n.
