Title: Method of and Means for Obtaining a Positive Reciprocating Ribbon-feed in Collapsible Duplicating Machines.
Inventor: MICHAELIS WILLIAM
IPC: B41F31/16
Filed: 1910-11-12
Granted: 1911-10-05
Abstract: 11,791. Michaelis, W. Nov. 12. Ink-ribbon mechanism.-In collapsible rotary duplicating-machines of the kind described in Specification 23,826/09, [Class 100 (ii), Printing processes &c.], means of the following character are provided for feeding the ribbon backward and forward with a step-by-step advance to afford maximum wear. The ribbon is carried by spools 2, 3 provided with loose pulleys 4, 5 which are alternately coupled to the rotary duplicating - drum a<1> by clutches 17 carried by levers 18 engaging cams 20 on a pulley 6 fast on the drum and connected by an open belt and a crossed belt to the pulleys 4 and 5 respectively. The arrangement is duplicated in a reversed manner at the opposite end of the drum, the pulley 4 and the open belt being on the spool 3, and the pulley 5 and the crossed belt being on the spool 2. During the rotation of the drum, the ribbon is fed forward and then backward by the alternate clutching of the pulleys 4, 5 to the spools, the arrangement being such that the receiving-spool and the paying- out spool are both positively driven. The pulleys 4, 5 are of different diameters, so as to impart a longer feed in one direction than in the other, the ribbon being thus stepped forward to present fresh surfaces. The pulleys are mounted in arms x, which are adapted to fold into a box along with the duplicator.

Title: Improved Apparatus for Controlling the Artificial Draft in Locomotives.
Inventor: GRAHL GUSTAV DE
IPC: F23L17/00
Filed: 1910-06-08
Granted: 1911-05-25
Abstract: 13,919. Grahl, G. de. June 8. Blast apparatus for locomotives comprises, in conjunction with the usual automatic valve permitting the alternative use of the exhaust draught and blower, manuallyoperated valves controlling the steam supply to furnace jets, and permitting the simultaneous use of the blast and blower. The automatic valve 20 forms part of a differential piston, and is closed, when the regulator is open, under the pressure of live steam on the larger piston 18 led by the pipe 40 from the main steam-pipe. The smaller piston is also under live steam pressure from the chamber 23, which is in open connexion with the dome 5, and, when the regulator is shut, steam from this chamber passes by the check-valve 44 to the blower-pipe 48, in addition to passing to the furnace jets by the pipe 43. The manually-operated valves 26, 51 are normally open and closed respectively. The valve 26 is carried by an axially displaceable rod 29 within a rotatable sleeve 30, and is operated by a handle 38 fulcrumed at 37 to a link 36 connected to a ring 33 carried loosely between nuts 34 on the sleeve. A projection 28 on the valve 20 ensures that when this valve is closed the valve 26 is open. The valve 51 is carried by a screwed rotatable rod 52, so connected by an arm 55 and links 57 to a parallel arm 56 on the sleeve 30, which is rotatable by the handle 32, that relative axial displacement between the rod 52 and the sleeve 30 is possible. For this purpose, the arms 55, 56 have spherical bosses 71 and widened-out pinholes 75. To shut off the furnace jets and blower when the regulator is shut, the valve 26 is closed. To operate the blower only, the valve 51 is then opened, and steam passes to the blower pipe from the chamber 23 by the pipe 46. When the regulator is opened, the valve 26 is automatically opened, and the furnace nozzles, main blast, and blower are all in operation, the blower ceasing to operate when the valve 51 is closed.

Water velocipedes &c. comprise a tubular framework from which depend uprights 10, 13 carrying t h r u s t bearings at their lower e n d s, in which are mounted shafts carrying hollow buoyant propellers 27. These propellers are of torpedo shape and carry helical blades on the outside; they are divided internally into a number of compartments by disks 28, the disks being connected to the driving-shaft by arms 30. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the frame consists of crossed tubes 1, 2 braced together by tubes 4, 5, 6, 7 and carrying a bicycle frame by means of struts 31, 42. The steering-post of the cycle frame is connected to a rudder 41, suspended from the tube 6, by means of sprocket-wheels and a chain.

The block paving is reinforced by forcing the studs or plates into the composition while still in the mould, or by inserting the studs or plates upside down in a mould and then pouring in the composition. The plates may be secured to wood blocks by driving in the shanks G to such a distance that small spaces are left between the blocks and the plates, these spaces being subsequently filled by composition which is poured through the apertures in the plates and is firmly keyed by entering undercut holes 2 in the blocks. When studs are to be applied to wood blocks, holes are drilled through the blocks and the bottom faces are recessed; the studs are driven in and the projecting parts of the shanks bent over in the recesses.

Abstract: 21,116. Manders, H. Sept. 25. Wireless telephony; electric oscillations, producing.-In a system of wireless telephony, a microphone M is arranged in series with an inductance P, forming the primary of an oscillation transformer, a source of direct current B, and a high-frequency interrupter L, the microphone and the make-and-break contact being shunted by condensers OC, O<1> C<1>. The interrupter may be a rotating commutator with alternate conducting and insulating sections, or a self-interrupting magnet, the ' extra ' current of which supplements the effect of the battery in charging the condensers of the system. When high-tension mains are used as a source of supply, an arc-gap of the type described in Specification 23,170/08, shunted by a high resistance, is bridged across the mains so as to form a non-inductive path for the condenser discharge currents. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 6, an inductance L is arranged in the charging-circuit of the condensers OC, O<1>C<1>, the circuits being controlled by the double commutator W, W'. In the position shown, current flows from the positive main through the brushes E, E<1>, inductance L, microphone M, and brushes D, N, back to the negative main. When this circuit is broken, the inductance L charges up the condenser C<1>O<1>, which then discharges through the condenser CO and the inductance P. To reduce sparking at the contacts of the interrupter, they may be shunted by non-inductive resistances, or may be immersed in hydrogen or compressed or rarefied air.

Ruling - pens. - Relates to pens of the type in which the distance apart of the prongs is regulated by an internally - threaded sleeve working on external threads on the prongs and in which the ink is supplied to the nib by a feed-tube lying between the prongs, and consists in an arrangement whereby the ink is caused to flow from the reservoir or shaft when required. The pen comprises a hollow shaft a, Fig. 1, to the lower end of which is screwed a thin feed-tube b, the drawing-pen proper d which surrounds and is screwed on to the tube b and the prongs of which are adjusted by an external nut f, a spindle k having a removable head n and two valves l, m for closing the upper and lower ends of the shaft, and a spring p which presses against a head o of the spindle so as normally to cause the valve l and the head n to close the upper end of the shaft and the lower end of the feed-tube respectively. In order to make the ink flow a slight pressure is exerted on the head o, so that air is admitted through the valve l and forces the ink through the valve m into the feed-tube. A stronger pressure on the knob o will close the valve m against the outflow of ink, and when the knob is released the valve l will close against the inflow of air. A pencil 9, Fig. 6, may be combined with the drawing-pen proper d after the hollow shaft or reservoir and the feed-tube have been removed.
