Title: Improvements in or relating to Pin Registering and Feeding Mechanism for Perforating and other Machines.
IPC: B26F1/00
Filed: 1912-07-01
Granted: 1912-12-23
Abstract: 15,363. Grover & Co., and Patient, J. July 1. Feeding webs; sheet-registering devices; sheet carriers and grippers.-A sheet or web feeding- device of the kind employing rising and falling registering-pins and gripper devices associated therewith for feeding to perforating and like machines, is so constructed that the pins have a wide range of adjustment, the transfer of the material from the points to the grippers, and from the grippers to the perforating or other machine, is controlled automatically, the points being lowered from the material only after the grippers have closed on it. As shown, the registering-pins A<10>, A<11>, on to which the material is pinned, are mounted adjustably on bars A<4>, A<5>, which are themselves carried by a pivoted frame formed of members A, A<1>, A<a>, A<b>, the bars being adjustable in two directions at right. angles to each other in the frame and having a spring A<25> joined to them. The apparatus also comprises a gripper carriage B<12>, B<13>, B<15>, B<14> fitted with an operating-handle B" by means of which it may be drawn back by hand into contact with fixed stops C<11>, C<12>. The gripper carriage is then maintained in this position by the engagement of a pawl C<13> on the bar B<15> with a spring-controlled ratchet-piece C<5>, which is free to slide on a bar C, which is automatically reciprocated, and which controls the opening of the grippers and the falling of the pins A<10>, A<11>. After the piece C<5> has been held stationary, a pin C<21> on it engages a cam-piece C<14> pivoted to the rod C and causes this to operate the gripper bar B<9> through a lever C<15>, bell-crank C<16>, and link C<17>. As the rod C returns, a pivoted spring- controlled catch A<20> on it engages the end of a lever A<19> on a toggle-lever shaft A<14>, and the breaking of the toggles depresses the frame A and releases the points A<10>, A<11> from the material. The link C<17> that controls the gripper shaft B'‹ is attached to a rod B<20> depending from the shaft B<10>. Springs B<21> normally tend to close the grippers but are prevented from doing so by the engagement of a pin C<31> on the link C<17> with an incline H<1> on the bar B<15>. The bell-crank C<16> operates as described above to move the link C<17> so as to cause the pin C<31> to engage a recess H<2>, and in this position the springs B<21> hold the grippers closed. The grippers are opened for final delivery of the material to the perforating or other apparatus, by means of a cam-oscillated lever D with a pin D<4>, which engages a hooked portion of a pawl D<3> connected to the rod B<20>, and on the reverse movement of the lever D the grippers are returned to their open position. The lever D then moves the pawl D<3> to its raised position, and it is held by a catch D<5> which holds the pawl raised, and the parts remain in the position shown in Fig. 1 until the carriage is again operated by the handle B<19> to feed a fresh length of material.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Apparatus for the Treatment of Starch and other Materials.
Inventor: ANDERSON ALEXANDER PIERCE
IPC: C08B30/00
Filed: 1912-08-19
Granted: 1913-08-19
Abstract: 18,950. Anderson, A. P. Aug. 19. Lids and covers.-The charging-aperture of a rotary jacketed drum for treating starch and other material is closed by a hollow lid to which heating or cooling medium is supplied by pipes 112, 114 leading to the ends of the jacket. In one form, passages lead from the space in the lid to its hinge-pivot, which is hollow and connects through stuffing-boxes with the pipes 112, 114. The lid is roughened at its edge and has a soft-metal packing-ring 105, Fig. 1, engaging a loose or fixed roughened ring 91 on the drum. It is secured by a screw 122 passing through a bridge-piece 119, which is mounted between uprights 117 about one of which it turns horizontally. In a modified form, the bridge-piece 163, Fig. 16, is pivoted to a fixed horizontal trunnion 162, on the ends of which turn the hollow arms 167 secured to the lid 166, the sockets in the arms being elongated to allow a small vertical movement of the lid. These arms form the passages leading through stuffing-boxes 180 to the pipes 112, 114. A sleeve 174 threaded to fit the bridgepiece presses upon the lid, and a pin 176 passing loosely through the sleeve attaches the lid to the bridge-piece. The surfaces on the lid and drum between which the packing-ring of lead &c. is gripped are formed with annular ridges. A projection 178 beneath the bridgepiece causes the lid to lift evenly.

Title: Process of Toning and Intensifying Photographic Silver Pictures.
Inventor: FISCHER RUDOLF
IPC: G03C5/40
Filed: 1913-03-06
Granted: 1913-08-07
Abstract: 5602. Fischer, R. March 7, 1912, [Convention date]. Toning; intensifying. - For toning and intensifying silver pictures, the silver is first converted into reducible silver compounds, for example by ferricyanide of potassium and bromide of potassium. The print is then redeveloped with a developer, the oxidization product of which is coloured, and being formed in the process of re-development, remains located in the silver image. Re-development with 0À1 gr. of pyrogallol, 2 grs. of soda, and 100 c.cm. water will give a yellowish brown image; or with 0À5 grs. thioindoxyl carboxylic acid, 5 c.cm. acetone, 2 gr. potash, and 100 c.cm. water will give a red image. By repeating the foregoing toning operations, new coloured materials can be deposited and any desired intensification obtained. To obtain a pure colour picture, the silver can be eliminated by any reducing-agent.

Title: An Improved Type-casting Machine.
Inventor: BHISEY SHANKER ABAJI
IPC: B41B5/06
Filed: 1913-10-14
Granted: 1915-01-14
Abstract: 6382. Bhisey, S. A. Oct. 14. Type-casting machines; moulds.-In machines in which the mould consists of relatively movable parts, the mould is constructed of substantially #-shape and is closed on its underside by a movable platform by which the types are transferred to a receiving channel or platform. The mould cavity is formed by a stationary block 5, Fig. 3, a vertically adjustable top block 6, and an horizontally adjustable body-blade 12. The cavity is closed at the bottom by a cover-plate 7 carried by a sliding member 8. The blade 12 is secured to a block which is adjusted against the matrix by means of a removable setting-member. The upper mould members are held in position by a removable plate 64 to which they are secured. The matrix is clamped in a holder 23, Fig. 7, by means of a lever 17<a> and a screw 17. A screw 22 enables the matrix to be adjusted and twocharacter matrices to be employed. The holder slides by means of grooves on to fixed guides on the machine frame. The cover-plate 7 can move vertically in the sliding member 8, and is pressed against the mould during casting by a cam. After casting, the cover-plate is retracted by a spring so that no wear of the mould parts results from the sliding action of the member 8. The movement of the member 8 brings a spring platform 41, mounted in a recess in the member, beneath the cast type which is pushed down on to the platform by vertically sliding fingers which engage the tang and the character of the type. The return movement of the member 8 carries the type on to a stationary adjustable platform 42 on which the previously cast types are assembled. In a modification, the coverplate 75, Fig. 10, moves vertically instead of horizontally and itself forms the spring platform that supports the type during ejection. The type is pushed on to the stationary platform 72 by an horizontal pusher 76. Metal-pots.-An adjustable nipple-plate 90, Fig. 13, having orifices of different sizes may be provided. The nipple proper 94, Fig. 14, may remain out of contact with the mould and be connected therewith by a sliding member 95 to prevent heating of the mould. Trimming type.-The tang of the cast type is broken off by a reciprocating bar 60, Fig. 3, operated in conjunction with the cover-plate 7.
